Chapter 3030
3030 Chapter 2,919. Everyone was fishing
Since the seventh ancestor had spoken, how could Yu Ren have anything to say?
Their doubts were all dispelled. They had no choice but to accept the fact that Linghu Yang’s soul power had secretly improved by leaps and bounds, becoming stronger than them.
“Linghu Yang’s soul power has soared. I look forward to your understanding of the ancestral technique.”The seventh ancestor smiled warmly.
Many clansmen of the same generation felt a wave of nervousness.
In the past, they were all people who were above Linghu Yang. Now that Linghu Yang had surpassed them, no one could adapt to it.
Linghu Jie didn’t think much of it. He said, “Purely increasing the soul power and understanding the ancestral technique are two different things.”
Many people nodded. That was indeed the case.
Understanding the ancestral technique relied more on a person’s comprehension and energy. It didn’t have much to do with the strength of the soul power.
Linghu Jie was the one who had gone out to train the most and had the most experience. His knowledge of the soul surpassed theirs.
On the other hand, Linghu Yang had never gone out again after he was injured by the nine death trolls. He spent his days holed up in the soul saint clan and spent his days refining pills.
It would be strange if he could comprehend the ancestral technique.
Over the years, his shallow foundation had explained everything. Even Linghu Yang was tired of comprehending the ancestral technique.
This time, Linghu Yang’s comprehension of the ancestral technique would not change.
“I think highly of Yang ‘Er.”The seventh ancestor laughed and encouraged Su Yu.
The seventh ancestor saw a transformation in Linghu Yang.
“Let’s Go!”The seventh ancestor stood up and led a group of juniors to the core of the Soul Sacred Clan, an ancient well.
The ancient well was sparkling and the water was clear. There were even fish swimming about.
However, through Linghu Yang’s memories, Su Yu knew that it wasn’t real water, and fish weren’t real fish either.
Water was water that evolved from the soul power of the past generations of the Soul Saint Clan.
And fish was the soul saint clan’s ancestral technique.
It turned out that the soul saint clan’s ancestral technique had been shattered during an ancient upheaval and was about to disappear.
At that time, in order to ensure that the ancestral technique could be passed down, the clansmen had split off a portion of their soul power and refined it into the current water, using it as a container to protect the ancestral technique.
This allowed the ancestral technique to survive and continue to the extreme.
The current first ancestor had participated in the events of that year.
The process of comprehending the ancestral technique was to see who could use the soul power as a fishing line to fish up the fish that the ancestral technique had turned into.
The principle was that a person’s soul contained all kinds of understanding of the soul.
The more profound the understanding, the more it would attract the ancestral technique to approach and take the bait.
In the past ten years, Linghu Jie had been lucky enough to fish up two ancestral spells and obtain a third-grade ancestral spell.
Most of the others had done it once. Linghu Yang was also a teenager. He had fished up one once and never again.
“In view of the protection of the ancestral spell, it will only be activated for one day at a time. Make good use of it.”After the seventh ancestor finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged on a stone platform not far away.
He quietly closed his eyes and waited patiently.
Sometimes, people could only fish once every few years, but today, Linghu Yang made him look forward to it.
He didn’t know if he could create a miracle.
The others each chose a position and immediately closed their eyes. They turned their souls into threads and hooks and threw them into the ancient well.
Su Yu patiently counted. There were a total of nine fish. In other words, the soul ancestral spell was divided into nine parts.
It seemed very difficult to fish them all up.
He calmed his mind and concentrated. According to Linghu Yang’s memories, he condensed a trace of his soul power and turned it into a thread and a hook to throw into it.
Just as he touched the clear water formed by the soul, Su Yu immediately felt an incomparably profound and vast feeling.
The souls of those old men of the Soul Saint clan contained countless soul secret techniques!
Each and every one of them was densely packed and all-encompassing.
There were even many of them that Su Yu had never thought of before.
“As expected of the Soul Saint Clan.”Su Yu was extremely amazed. He had discovered a secret art that could duplicate souls.
He only needed to use the remaining souls as raw materials to extract the essence of the soul and fuse it with a trace of the soul of the deceased. Then, he would be able to duplicate the complete soul of the deceased in the creator’s way, allowing them to live in the world again.
This move had already reached the point where it interfered with the normal operation of the Heavenly Dao.
As long as he cultivated to the depths, he could resurrect a person infinitely, allowing him to live forever.
“If I had learned this technique back then, Xian ‘er wouldn’t have died.”Su Yu’s eyes were filled with sadness.
This was also the reason why Su Yu had always wanted to reach the peak of martial arts.
The more he mastered, the more he could control himself and the fate of his loved ones.
Looking at the ancestral art in the well water, Su Yu hesitated for a moment, but did not go fishing for them. Instead, he calmed his heart and slowly comprehended the mysteries of the soul mastered by the ancestors of the Soul Saint Clan.
Time passed bit by bit, and the fish in the well water were at ease. They ignored all the fishing lines that were thrown into the well and were not interested in them at all.
Everyone was used to it and waited patiently.
At dusk.
The seventh ancestor slowly opened his eyes and looked at the motionless Linghu Yang. A trace of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
He did not bring any miracles.
“Alright, that’s it for today,”the seventh ancestor said. “There’s still tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You guys continue to work hard. If anyone catches a fish, this ancestor will definitely reward them handsomely.”
Everyone’s spirits jolted. The last time, Linghu Yang had obtained the opportunity of the Soul Saint Clan’s holy bath because he caught a fish.
The so-called holy bath was the Heavenly Dao power that the seven ancestors released together with their powerful cultivation bases. Bathing in it would give them a chance to break through the cultivation level in front of them.
Linghu Jie had benefited from this before.
Now that they were here again, who wouldn’t be excited?
However, it was because the nine death trolls had intruded and brought indelible losses to the soul saint clan that the seven patriarchs made an exception to sacrifice their own strength to raise the cultivation levels of the juniors.
Why was it now?
While Linghu Jie was excited, he said uneasily, “Seven patriarchs, did something happen?”
The seven Patriarchs said in a low voice, “First patriarch, I have a very bad premonition recently. Perhaps the soul saint clan will have another disaster, so I want to open an additional holy bath for you.”
Eh?
No one was happy.
Back then, the nine death trolls had left an indelible shadow on them. That time, the Soul Saint Clan Junior suffered heavy casualties and almost cut off their generation.
If all of them died, the Soul Saint Clan would have no descendants to continue.
“Last time, we were careless. This time, we are prepared. We won’t let them succeed,”said the seventh ancestor.
Only then did everyone relax a little. They went back one after another, preparing to continue tomorrow and the day after.
“Second brother, there was a fish just now that seemed to be interested in my fishhook,”a young girl said.
Beside Linghu Jie, there were many juniors who were asking for advice.
Linghu Jie glanced at Su Yu and said, “You should ask Big Brother for more advice and learn from his experience.”
One of the clansmen muttered, “But after a whole day, his hook and fish haven’t even come close to each other. What kind of experience can we learn from this?”
Linghu Jie added with a faint smile, “Of course it’s the experience of teaching a negative lesson!”
