At least, facing a force like Yuan Gate, Lin Dong could be said to be unafraid and possessed the strength to fight.
Moreover, compared to these, Lin Dong had another trump card, and that was the Thunder Emperor.
With Lin Xuan's help, the Thunder Emperor's remnant soul had been temporarily stabilized. If he could obtain treasures in the future, he could slowly repair it. Although it might take decades, that wasn't a big problem.
Although the current Thunder Emperor couldn't take action for the time being, he could already guide Lin Dong. To put it bluntly, he came with a soul possessing the combat awareness and insight of a Reincarnation Realm expert. Even when facing Revolving Wheel Realm experts, Lin Dong wouldn't be constantly controlled by others.
The Thunder Emperor was different from Yan. Although Yan was the spirit of the Ancestral Stone, he could unleash considerable power in his prime, but Yan relied on the power of the Ancestral Stone. To put it bluntly, he himself didn't have the perception and other things to match the Reincarnation Realm.
But the Thunder Emperor was a genuine Reincarnation Realm expert, and also the previous controller of the Thunder Ancestor Symbol.
In critical moments, the Thunder Emperor could secretly guide Lin Dong in battle. Even at crucial moments, the Thunder Emperor could use his remnant soul to help Lin Dong activate the Thunder Ancestor Symbol and use the true power of the Ancestor Symbol.
"Senior Thunder Emperor, how do you feel?"
After thinking of the Thunder Emperor, Lin Dong couldn't help but sink his mind into the Ancestral Stone and asked softly. Soon, the Thunder Emperor's voice also sounded in Lin Dong's heart.
"Hehe, I feel very good. It's been many years since I've felt this feeling of my soul power not dissipating."
The Thunder Emperor's tone was also quite emotional. Back then, when their Thunder Mansion was attacked by the Otherworldly Demons of the Demon Prison, he was at a critical moment of breaking through to the Reincarnation Realm, which led to almost everyone in the Thunder Mansion being slaughtered by that Otherworldly Demon King.
The Thunder Emperor, in his rage, directly embraced the determination to die and fought to the death with that Otherworldly Demon King, even forcibly sealing off the Thunder Mansion.
In that battle, even if the Otherworldly Demon King really completely obliterated the Thunder Emperor, he would definitely be trapped in the Thunder Mansion for a long time, and might even be obliterated by the countless thunderous forces from the outside world.
To put it bluntly, the Thunder Emperor had transformed the entire Thunder Mansion into a dead world isolated from everything before the battle. Once he lost, it would be difficult for any living being to set foot in this Thunder Sea Area. Even if they really went deep into the Thunder Sea Area and arrived outside the Thunder Mansion, they would not be able to open the Thunder Mansion.
Unless the strength of the person who came was far above the Thunder Emperor, so that they could forcibly break the seal cast by the Thunder Emperor and enter the Thunder Mansion to rescue the Otherworldly Demon King.
Otherwise, even if the Thunder Emperor didn't suppress that Otherworldly Demon King, he would definitely be able to leave that Otherworldly Demon King half-dead, and then be trapped within the Thunder Mansion. Moreover, because of the existence of the power of thunder and the power of the Thunder Ancestor Symbol, it would be impossible for that Otherworldly Demon King to recover from his injuries on his own without thousands of years.
It was because the Thunder Emperor ultimately won that he released the key, so as to wait for the experts of the Tianxuan Continent to come and eliminate the Otherworldly Demons, and the Thunder Emperor's self-sealed remnant soul could assist in forcibly eradicating that Otherworldly Demon King.
However, everything that happened in the final Thunder Realm not long ago made the Thunder Emperor feel like he was in a dream, and everything seemed so unreal.
The Demon Prison and the Otherworldly Demons, which had always been known for their power and strangeness, were easily wiped out. Moreover, the Demon Prison sent such powerful reinforcements, a full True King comparable to someone who had passed through two Reincarnation Tribulations, as well as a False King and four Otherworldly Demon Generals. Such a large investment not only failed to rescue that Otherworldly Demon King, but was almost completely annihilated.
Not only that, but the Thunder Emperor, who was originally prepared to dissipate, miraculously preserved his remnant soul, and even had the possibility of being resurrected, only needing to wait a few decades.
This made the Thunder Emperor extremely emotional, and at the same time, a touch of sorrow flashed in his heart.
He was indeed lucky to have survived, but back then, those old brothers under his command had all…
Demon Prison, Otherworldly Demons, everything was because of this group of Demon Spawn filled with destruction and evil!
"The Sword Saint's methods are truly extraordinary, worthy of being praised by the spirit of the Ancestral Stone as the number one person since ancient times!"
After suppressing these emotions one by one, the Thunder Emperor couldn't help but sigh softly. That kind of method was indeed unheard of, making the Thunder Emperor amazed.
"That guy's methods are indeed becoming more and more miraculous, especially after the battle in Otherworldly Demon City, he has become even more mysterious."
Not only was the Thunder Emperor shocked, but even Yan felt very incredible. You must know that for people like the Thunder Emperor, who only had half a remnant soul left, even if the Symbol Ancestor plus the Lord of Life and Death, and even the Ancient Eight Rulers joined forces, it would be impossible to save him.
But now, Lin Xuan had actually done it. Although he didn't heal him all at once, and the time would be a little longer, it was still a world-shaking method.
This could be completely said to be truly controlling life and death. A person whose soul was about to dissipate could be said to be truly dead, but he was still saved.
"By the way, that little girl from the Undying Holy Whale Clan before, her identity seems to be a bit unusual."
Thunder Emperor seemed to recall something and spoke again. After Thunder Emperor's reminder, Yan's expression also became strange, and he nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, the feeling that Mu Lingshan gives me is also very strange."
"No, it's not just the feeling Mu Lingshan gives me that's strange, even Sword Saint and Mu Feng's attitudes towards this Mu Lingshan are particularly strange."
Yan rubbed his chin while frowning. Lin Dong simply kept silent. These things were not topics that a little guy like him, who had not yet fully stepped into the Death Profound Realm, could discuss.
Thunder Emperor frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly.
"I don't know why, but that little girl gives me a feeling similar to when I first came into contact with the spirit of the Thunder Ancestor Symbol."
"Spirit of the Ancestor Symbol?"
Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth again. He knew about the spirit of the Ancestor Symbol, but unfortunately, he was too weak now to come into contact with it, so he didn't understand what kind of feeling it was.
"Spirit of the Ancestor Symbol!"
Compared to Lin Dong, Yan's reaction was much greater. His eyes widened instantly, and his expression was somewhat dazed. After a long while, he revealed a look of sudden realization, muttering to himself.
"I understand, I understand!"
"Yan, what do you understand?"
Lin Dong looked at Yan, who was speaking in riddles, and couldn't help but ask curiously. A special look flashed across Thunder Emperor's face, as if he had thought of something, but it quickly disappeared. He wanted to grasp it, but couldn't.
"Lin Dong, kid, do you remember you once told me that when you first met Mu Lingshan, there was a slight movement in the Devouring Ancestor Symbol within your body?"
Yan didn't immediately answer Lin Dong's question, but instead asked Lin Dong about something. Lin Dong nodded subconsciously upon hearing this. He still had an impression of this matter, after all, it involved the Ancestor Symbol, so Lin Dong had specifically told Yan about it at the time.
"That's right, you should have heard that the Lord of Life and Death came from the Undying Holy Whale Clan, right? And you should also understand the relationship between the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol and the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, right?"
Faced with Yan's questioning, Lin Dong became even more puzzled and nodded gently in response.
"Of course, I know that the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol is the last Ancestor Symbol to be born among the eight Ancestor Symbols, and it was the Devouring Ancestor Symbol that actively brought it into its body, devouring energy to help the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol gestate."
Thunder Emperor's eyes widened as he listened, and he couldn't help but reveal an interested expression, his ears perked up quietly. He really didn't know much about this kind of ancient gossip.
"That's right, so there is a connection between the Devouring Ancestor Symbol and the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol. To be precise, there is a connection between all eight Ancestor Symbols, but the connection between the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol and the Devouring Ancestor Symbol is the strongest, and it is also the easiest to affect the Ancestor Symbol controller."
As Yan spoke, he couldn't help but chuckle strangely twice. Lin Dong's eyes widened instantly and he said.
"So, in ancient times, the unclear relationship between the Devouring Master and the Lord of Life and Death was because of the special connection between the Ancestor Symbols?"
Thunder Emperor didn't say a word on the side, but he looked fascinated. Oh ho, it's still a love history between the Ancient Eight Rulers, interesting, too interesting.
"Ahem, that's about it. In short, the Devouring Ancestor Symbol and the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol are closely connected, so you almost subconsciously believed in Mu Lingshan at the time, because she is very likely to be the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol itself!"
"The Life and Death Ancestor Symbol itself!"
"How is that possible!"
Thunder Emperor and Lin Dong's exclamations sounded one after another, while Yan revealed an unfathomable expression and chuckled lightly.
"Of course, it's possible, because that is the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol, the Ancestor Symbol that is best at the power of life and death, and before the Lord of Life and Death entered Reincarnation Realm back then, he specifically returned to the ancestral land."
"Also, don't forget, the Life and Death Coffin Lid in Mu Lingshan's hands, that kind of Divine Object, even if it's just a coffin lid, is not something that anyone can easily control, but Mu Lingshan clearly hasn't refined it, yet she can control it as if it were her own arm, don't you think there's a problem?"
"By the way, that little girl from the Undying Holy Whale Clan, her identity seems to be a bit unusual."
Thunder Emperor seemed to recall something and spoke again. After Thunder Emperor's reminder, Yan's expression also became strange, and he nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, the feeling Mu Lingshan gives me is also very strange."
"No, it's not just the feeling Mu Lingshan gives me that's strange, even Sword Saint and Mu Feng's attitude towards this Mu Lingshan is particularly strange."

Thunder Emperor frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly.
"I don't know why, but that little girl gives me a feeling that's a bit like the feeling I had when I first came into contact with the Thunder Ancestor Symbol's spirit."
"Ancestor Symbol's spirit?"
Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth again. He knew about the Ancestor Symbol's spirit, but unfortunately, he was too weak now to come into contact with the Ancestor Symbol's spirit, so he didn't understand what kind of feeling it was.
"Ancestor Symbol's spirit!"
Compared to Lin Dong, Yan's reaction was much greater. His eyes widened instantly, and his expression was a bit sluggish. After a long while, he revealed a look of sudden realization, muttering to himself.
"I understand, I understand!"
"Yan, what do you understand?"
Lin Dong looked at Yan, who was speaking in riddles, and couldn't help but ask curiously. A special look flashed across Thunder Emperor's face, as if he had thought of something, but it quickly disappeared. He wanted to grasp it, but he couldn't.

Faced with Yan's question, Lin Dong became even more puzzled and nodded gently in response.
"Of course, I know that the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol is the last Ancestor Symbol born among the eight Ancestor Symbols, and it was the Devouring Ancestor Symbol that actively incorporated it into its body, devouring energy to help the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol to be conceived."
Thunder Emperor's eyes widened as he listened, and he couldn't help but reveal an interested expression, his ears perked up quietly. He really didn't know much about this kind of ancient gossip.
"That's right, so there is a sense between the Devouring Ancestor Symbol and the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol. To be precise, there is a sense between all eight Ancestor Symbols, but the sense between the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol and the Devouring Ancestor Symbol is the strongest, and it is also the easiest to affect the Ancestor Symbol controller."

Thunder Emperor didn't say a word on the side, but he looked fascinated. Oh ho, it's still a love history between the Ancient Eight Rulers, interesting, too interesting.
"Cough cough, that's about it. In short, the Devouring Ancestor Symbol and the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol are closely connected, so you almost subconsciously believed in Mu Lingshan at the time, because she is very likely to be the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol's main body!"
"Life and Death Ancestor Symbol's main body!"
"How is that possible!"
Thunder Emperor and Lin Dong's exclamations sounded one after another, while Yan revealed an unfathomable expression and chuckled.
"Of course, it's possible, because that is the Life and Death Ancestor Symbol, the Ancestor Symbol that is best at the power of life and death, and before the Lord of Life and Death entered Reincarnation Realm back then, he specifically returned to the ancestral land."
