Ye Linyuan: That Ancient Book Was Called Peerless Tang Sect

After hearing Electrolux's words, Ye Linyuan felt enlightened, and the tension in his heart eased somewhat.

As long as it was not something only a spiritual-type Soul Master could do, he still had a chance.

Huo Gua's spiritual power had indeed been terrifying in the original story, but it had been built up through all sorts of fortuitous encounters.

If he could seize Huo Gua's opportunities for himself, he might not be unable to create Spirit Souls.

For example, the most important item that had set Huo Gua on the path of spiritual evolution—the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife!

As the saying went.

If finesse wasn't enough, brute force would make up for it!

With an old treasure like Elder Yi, was he still afraid he could not turn things around and defeat the landlord?

"Lin Yuan, you suddenly brought this up. Could it be that you are interested in the so-called Spirit Souls described in that ancient book?" Electrolux asked curiously.

Ye Linyuan smiled and nodded. "Yes."

"Elder Yi, think about it. If I cultivate normally, I would have to reach Rank Eighty, Soul Douluo, before I could begin adding Soul Rings to my second martial soul."

"But if I can truly create those so-called Wisdom Spirit Rings, then as long as I find top-tier soul beasts that are dying or nearing the end of their lifespan and persuade them to share their power with me, wouldn't my cultivation speed increase dramatically?"

"In this world where the strong prey on the weak, only strength is the most authoritative pass!"

Electrolux fell silent for a moment, then sighed. "I never expected someone so young to see so far ahead, and so clearly."

"Very well. Your idea is indeed correct."

"It just so happens that souls are what I am best at. After hearing you out just now, I have truly become interested in the Spirit Souls recorded in that ancient book."

"However, there is currently too little material available for reference. I also know very little about many things on this continent, so I have no clear ideas for now."

"How about this? Find me more systematic books related to the development of Soul Masters and soul beasts. Once I study them properly, I will see whether I can figure out a way to create those so-called Spirit Souls."

Ye Linyuan's spirits rose, and he agreed joyfully. "Yes, Elder Yi!"

Electrolux suddenly said, "By the way, what was the name of that ancient book you read before? Do you still have it?"

"If you do, let me take a look first."

Ye Linyuan replied sincerely, "Elder Yi, I bought that ancient book from a street stall when I was little. It was called Peerless Tang Sect."

"I remember some of its contents, but the ancient book was lost long ago."

Electrolux said regretfully, "Peerless Tang Sect? What a strange name."

"Forget it. If it is lost, then it is lost. I will study it myself when the time comes."

"As for attainments in the soul, I dare say I am certainly no worse than the author of Peerless Tang Sect!"

Ye Linyuan nodded repeatedly. "You are right. I believe in you!"

With the conversation over, Electrolux sank back into silence.

Ye Linyuan looked out the window.

Clear moonlight poured down from the sky, illuminating the entire lake until it shimmered like his glinting eyes.

"The Body Sect lacks cultivation resources. I cannot waste time here."

"It seems it is time to make a trip to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well."

"I also need to get the Soul Devouring Engraving Knife and the materials Elder Yi needs as soon as possible."

"The sooner I manage to create Spirit Souls, the more advantageous it will be for me."

Ye Linyuan pondered silently, but his gaze unconsciously drifted upward. His eyes narrowed slightly.

Ever since he had intercepted Electrolux, his sense of urgency had surged.

His hatred for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had already become irreconcilable.

At the same time, his personality was not like Huo Yuhao's, swallowing every grievance without protest.

He had clearly possessed talent and opportunities that crushed the entire era, yet he had still been toyed with by a second-generation god disguised as a little green tea, and ultimately been tightly controlled by Tang Buddha.

That bastard Dai Hao only thought with his lower half—one White Tiger Dagger here, one Black Tiger Dagger there.

When lust overtook him, he was full of tender words and passion; once he put his pants back on, he refused to recognize anyone.

Madam White Tiger certainly deserved death, but Dai Hao was no better!

If he had retained even a trace of their former feelings, he would not have gone years without visiting even once, nor would he have failed to know that he had two illegitimate sons!

For Ye Youlan's sake, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had to pay the price!

The vengeance Huo Yuhao did not dare seek, he would seek!

The people Huo Yuhao did not dare kill, he would kill!

And if he wanted revenge, he needed sufficient strength to support it.

Huo Gua was called the Child of Destiny, but if Ye Linyuan intercepted too much of the destiny that had originally belonged to him, who knew whether it would draw Tang Buddha's attention?

To deal with the interference Tang Buddha might inflict upon the lower realm, Ye Linyuan had to grow stronger as quickly as possible!

Heaven Dou Empire.

The princess's palace.

When the maids outside saw the Heavenly Soul Emperor approaching slowly, they hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Mhm." The Heavenly Soul Emperor nodded faintly. "You may withdraw first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maids hurriedly bowed and retreated, going outside the palace to wait.

Only after everyone had left did the Heavenly Soul Emperor push open the door and enter.

Inside the room, a young girl dressed in a pale yellow court gown had already heard him arrive and stood waiting quietly.

She looked about eight or nine years old, with a standard oval face and smooth black hair cascading down her back.

Her beautiful large eyes shimmered like water, and even from afar, one could sense the faint gentleness about her.

Her features had not fully matured, yet she already displayed the bearing of a peerless beauty.

When the Heavenly Soul Emperor came before her, the girl bowed slightly and spoke in a soft voice. "Weina greets Father Emperor."

The Heavenly Soul Emperor smiled faintly. "I have told you before that when we are not in public, we can interact freely. There is no need for such formality."

Weina shook her head lightly. "As imperial offspring, propriety cannot be discarded."

Looking at his most beloved daughter, the Heavenly Soul Emperor's expression turned complicated.

After a long while.

He finally sighed softly, took Weina's hand, and led her to sit beside him.

"Weina, do you still hate me because of that matter?"

Weina raised her head to look at him, and a trace of complexity flashed deep within her eyes.

She shook her head again. "I do not hate Father Emperor."

"I also know that if Father Emperor had another choice, you certainly would not have sent me."

"Because ever since I was little, among all the princesses, you have loved me the most."

"Heaven gave me irreplaceable talent, so naturally, I must pay the corresponding price."

"It is only..." Weina's gaze dimmed slightly, but she did not continue.

The Heavenly Soul Emperor looked at Weina with some heartache.

But when he considered the current situation across the entire continent, he could only forcefully suppress that heartache in the end.

Seemingly seeing her father's difficulty, Weina took a deep breath, calmed the turmoil in her heart, and revealed a smile. "Father Emperor need not be troubled. I understand very clearly how important the Body Sect is to Heaven Dou."

"Long Aotian possesses extraordinary aptitude and outstanding talent. Among the younger generation of disciples in the Body Sect, no one can rival him."

"I truly do not feel much for him right now, but at least I do not dislike him."

"Fortunately, his character is not bad. He is proud by nature but forthright. Once we spend more time together in the future, I should come to like him."
