Chapter 214: Refining the Space Ancestral Symbol

Dao Sect, Archaic Hall

After seeing off Bo Xuan and Qing Tan, Xiao Tian returned to his residence. He took out the Space Ancestral Symbol, preparing to refine it.

To refine an Ancestral Symbol, one must first gain its recognition. Xiao Tian extended his soul power, entering the Space Ancestral Symbol. Inside, he found a vast world filled with spatial energy.

"Comprehend the spatial energy, and you will gain the Space Ancestral Symbol," the voice of the Ancestral Stone Spirit, Yan, echoed in Xiao Tian's mind.

Xiao Tian instantly understood what he needed to do. He sat down cross-legged in this vast world and began to comprehend the spatial energy. For people of this world, comprehending spatial energy would take a long time. However, Xiao Tian came from the Dou Qi Continent, where after reaching the Dou Zong level, one must begin to interact with spatial energy.

As one's cultivation improves, their control over spatial energy becomes more refined. Thus, Xiao Tian was no stranger to spatial energy. Nonetheless, he still needed to reach a certain level of comprehension.

Time passed slowly. Silver spatial energy began to swirl around Xiao Tian's body.

He sat quietly, but it felt as if he existed in another time and space. Eventually, he arrived in a strange space, where an ancient rune floated quietly. Upon seeing the rune, Xiao Tian knew he had gained the Space Ancestral Symbol's recognition.

"Yan, what should I do now?" Xiao Tian asked.

"The power of an Ancestral Symbol is inherently dominant and powerful. If one can obtain even a single Ancestral Symbol, they will gain tremendous strength," Yan explained. "If you can reach the level of my master, the Ancestral Symbol creator, controlling all eight Ancestral Symbols would be effortless. Fortunately, the first Ancestral Symbol you obtained was the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, known for its exceptional capacity to contain others. Although integrating the Space Ancestral Symbol still poses risks, you are fortunate to possess the Ancestral Stone."

Yan's voice carried a hint of pride as he continued, "I was created by the Ancestral Symbol creator to balance the powers of the eight Ancestral Symbols. Though I haven't regained my peak power, maintaining the balance between two Ancestral Symbols is easy for me."

Xiao Tian laughed, "Yan, please guide me!"

"Sink your mind into your Niwan Palace, then bring the Space Ancestral Symbol in. I will assist in maintaining the balance between them," Yan instructed. "Additionally, your spiritual power will increase further."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Tian sat cross-legged, focusing his mind. A beam of light emanated from his forehead, and the Space Ancestral Symbol transformed into a silver light, entering his Niwan Palace. His consciousness followed.

Within his Niwan Palace was a small world filled with vast soul power. At the center hovered a black hole, spinning and devouring Xiao Tian's soul power. As the silver light of the Space Ancestral Symbol crashed in, it disrupted the peace of this small world.

"Boom!"

The Devouring Ancestral Symbol reacted, emitting a vast black light. The two Ancestral Symbols faced off, wreaking havoc in the small world.

"Yan, help me!" Xiao Tian called out, fearing the destruction of his small world by the two Ancestral Symbols.

"Balance Source!"

Yan's voice echoed, and a gentle white light appeared, forming the Ancestral Stone between the two Ancestral Symbols. Two white beams of light emerged from Yan's hands, one connecting to the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, the other to the Space Ancestral Symbol.

Between them, a mysterious and profound light seal began to form. It resembled a balance scale, swaying slightly but always maintaining equilibrium. With this, the two Ancestral Symbols ceased their opposition, and their previously conflicting energies began to merge.

As the two Ancestral Symbols stabilized, a vast ocean of soul power emerged from the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. This immense soul power flooded the small world, expanding its boundaries.

Xiao Tian felt his soul power advancing rapidly. Alongside his soul's growth, a powerful energy surged through his body like a flood. His Dou Qi gradually adopted a silver hue, reflecting the space power from the Space Ancestral Symbol.

Sitting quietly, Xiao Tian's aura steadily grew stronger. After several days, he opened his eyes, feeling immense power within him.

"Now, your strength has reached the peak of the Death Profound Realm, just one step away from the Wheel-Turning Realm," Yan said, appearing beside Xiao Tian. "Your soul power has also reached the pinnacle of the Grandmaster level, close to the Symbol Ancestor level."

"Ha ha!" Xiao Tian laughed joyfully. With his cultivation at the peak of the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun and his soul power at the same level, using the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Flame could push him to the Half-Saint level. Utilizing the Great Desolate Art could elevate him even further.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Tian thought, "It's time to return to the Dou Qi Continent, gather the necessary herbs, and refine the Nine-Turn Pill to break through to the Half-Saint level!"

Although the Bodhi Ancient Tree's emergence and acquiring the Bodhi Seed could grant him the Bodhi Heart, allowing him to reach the Dou Saint level within a few years, Xiao Tian didn't want to wait. His cultivation speed was far too slow for his liking.

Given his current pace, in a few years, even if he hadn't reached the Dou Emperor level, he could still become a Five-Star Dou Saint. Deciding quickly, Xiao Tian opened the spatial gate and stepped through.

Star Meteor Pavilion

Xiao Tian arrived and immediately sought out Yao Lao.

"My disciple, you're back," Yao Lao greeted with a smile. He sensed Xiao Tian's aura and marveled, "You've made progress again. If you continue, you'll reach my level soon."

"No matter how strong I become, you'll always be my master," Xiao Tian replied with a smile.

"I've returned to ask for your help in refining the Great Bodhi Pill. With this pill, I can advance to the Half-Saint level," Xiao Tian explained.

Yao Lao frowned, "This pill requires over a thousand ingredients, and the Bodhi Seed is especially rare. It's a treasure only found on the Bodhi Ancient Tree."

"I have a Bodhi Seed. Now I just need the other thousand ingredients," Xiao Tian said. "It looks like we'll be busy refining pills for the next few days."
