3029 Chapter 2,918
In Linghu Yang’s memories, Su Yu recognized that this was one of the seven ancestors of the Soul Saint Clan!
Different from the other factions, the members of the Soul Saint Clan were able to live forever because they cultivated soul secret arts.
Ordinary living beings would gradually die because of the decline of their bodies, just like those old monsters in the Heavenly Dao Union.
No matter how powerful their cultivation bases were, they could not stop their bodies from decaying.
However, even if the bodies of the soul saint clan were decaying, they could transfer their bodies to other bodies through the soul ancestor technique and continue to survive.
Therefore, the members of the Soul Saint Clan for generations were almost immortal.
This resulted in a prosperous situation where countless patriarchs coexisted in the clan.
Of course, the Heavenly Dao was only constant.
The Soul Saint Clan had gains and losses.
What they lost was that their ability to reproduce was extremely weak.
It was as if they had been cursed. Usually, there was only one descendant in a generation, and the surplus would either be unable to conceive or die in the womb.
If a certain generation was destroyed in body and soul, resulting in a fault, then this branch would basically be cut off.
Therefore, there were very few members of the Soul Saint tribe. Such a shocking soul saint tribe actually only had three males and seven female juniors in the current generation. The small number of members was completely incomparable to the size of the tribe.
And this elder was the seventh ancestor, an existence whose cultivation base had reached the Great Sage realm.
In terms of strength, he wasn’t the slightest bit weaker than elder Han Yuan of the Heavenly Dao Union.
“Who caused your injuries?”The seventh ancestor looked at his injured disciples and asked.
Linghu Jie gritted his teeth in pain and said, “It’s Linghu Yang! Seventh ancestor, you have to uphold justice for us. We didn’t do anything and Linghu Yang bullied us.”
“Bullied you? Him?”The seventh ancestor was shocked.
Anyone could bully them, except Linghu Yang.
How could he not know what was going on with Linghu Yang?
“It’s really him!”The other juniors who had been taught a lesson said one after another.
Oh?
The seventh patriarch’s gloomy expression eased a lot. “It’s really him?”
He looked at Yan feiying and said thoughtfully, “Feiying, where’s Linghu Yang?”
“He went out.”Yan Feiying’s expression was complicated.
The seventh patriarch asked again, “Has linghu Yang’s cultivation improved greatly recently?”
The person who understood Linghu Yang the most should be the person next to him.
Yan Feiying was silent. She was struggling in her heart.
With her wife’s keen senses, it was hard for her to believe that the swift and decisive person was really her husband.
Although this kind of Linghu Yang was the kind of appearance that she had always dreamed of, it gave her a very unfamiliar feeling.
Not only this sudden strength, she could clearly feel that the person standing in front of her was not Linghu Yang, but another person.
Just when she did not know how to answer, Su Yu stepped in in time and cupped his fists. “Reporting to the seventh ancestor, Yang ‘er has indeed made some progress.”
In Linghu Yang’s memories, this seventh ancestor was someone who cared for him a lot and was very friendly.
He often called him Yang ‘er.
This self-address finally made Yan Feiying feel a little familiar.
Those who were not from the soul sacred clan did not know these details.
The seventh patriarch sat on the armchair and sized him up. “Have you recovered from your injuries?”
The nine death troll’s palm back then could be said to have cut off Linghu Yang’s path of cultivation.
Su Yu shook his head. “Not really. It’s just that under the effects of my panacea that can cure all diseases, my soul strength has increased a lot.”
Yan Feiying’s eyes brightened again. This tone was similar to Linghu Yang’s.
She did not know that Su Yu knew from Linghu Yang’s memories that Linghu Yang had been intoxicated with pills for many years. He was not being playful and willful, but was trying to recover his body.
He hoped to give Yan feiying the dignity and life she deserved as soon as possible.
However, all of this was covered up by his seemingly cynical appearance.
“Is that so?”The seven ancestors smiled. They extended their palms and gently pushed Su Yu.
Immediately, Su Yu felt an invisible force pass through his soul.
He turned around and saw a stone tablet behind him. It showed 49 steps.
“49 steps of Soul Power?”The seven ancestors were surprised.
Linghu Jie, Linghu Yun, and the other juniors took a deep breath.
Steps were the standard to measure a person’s soul power.
From rank 1 to 99.
There were only rank 1 mortals among them who did not possess any cultivation.
On the other hand, there were 39 ranks for ancient sages.
On the other hand, there were 49 ranks for great sages.
There should be 59 ranks for myriad sages.
As for the higher ranks, one had to cultivate one’s soul strength in order to reach them. It was impossible to achieve such a feat by relying on the enhancement brought about by one’s cultivation.
The highest record known was that one of the ten great heavenly sons had a soul that reached level 99.
Next was an existing patriarch of the Soul Saint Clan, the first patriarch, whose soul had reached level 90.
At that level, the soul was already powerful enough to affect the circulation of the Heavenly Dao and transcend the shackles of the body.
And among the younger generation, the one with the strongest soul before was Linghu Jie, who had reached level 39. This was already the situation where the talent for soul cultivation among the younger generation was the best in recent years.
Now, Linghu Yang had cultivated to level 49 without a sound. Who could believe it?
Before this, he had barely reached level 30.
“Are you really Linghu Yang?”Linghu Jie stared at him and said, “Could it be that some outsider has taken over Linghu Yang’s body?”
All the younger generation present were also suspicious.
Linghu Yang’s transformation was not only earth-shaking, it was like a completely different person.
Su Yu said indifferently, “Are you trying to say that there’s someone who can cultivate our clan’s forbidden technique, the Soul Exchange?”
Everyone knew that the forbidden technique had long been destroyed and no one could learn it.
Linghu Jie glared at Yan Feiying. “Say! is Linghu Yang really cultivating soul power? As his wife, you should know the best!”
After a pause, his tone became much gentler. “Whether he’s real or not is related to the future of the Soul Saint Clan. You have to consider it carefully.”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Yan Feiying one after another, hoping that she would give an honest answer.
“Say it!”Linghu Jie urged.
Yan Feiying was silent for a long while before she shook her head and said, “I don’t know! But, I know that he must be my husband.”
As she said that, she went forward and held his arm, standing beside Su Yu with exceptional determination.
Linghu Jie patted the coffee table and said, “You’re lying!”
Even Yu Ren found it hard to believe that Linghu Yang had really undergone such an earth-shattering change, and they all criticized him.
“Enough!”The seventh ancestor said indifferently, “He’s Linghu Yang.”
Everyone quieted down, and he smiled with satisfaction. “A person’s strength may be fake, but his memories won’t be. And the memories of the Soul Saint clan will be even less so!”
Unless it was voluntary, outsiders could not take away the memories of the Soul Saint Clan.
As long as there was a slight resistance, the memories would self-destruct.
It was impossible for others to take away Linghu Yang’s memories and put them into their own souls to pass the test.
It turned out that apart from testing the strength of his soul, the seventh ancestor had also secretly checked Linghu Yang’s memories and confirmed that it was him.
What he did not know was that Su Yu had merely hidden his memories and only revealed Linghu Yang’s memories.
He managed to avoid this obstacle.
