Could There Be Something Even More Heaven-Defying Than Innate Full Soul Power?

At Yu Yuanzhen's words, Yu Luomian and the several elders immediately realized the impropriety of the situation.

They voiced their agreement in succession before returning to the sect.

Before long, only Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Tianchen, and the married couple Yu Xiaotian and Ning Xin remained at the sect entrance.

"Alright, we are all family, so I will speak plainly."

Seeing that everyone else had moved away, Yu Yuanzhen turned his head to look at Yu Xiaotian and Ning Xin.

Yu Xiaotian and Ning Xin exchanged a puzzled glance.

Immediately, Yu Xiaotian spoke up:

"Father, if there is something on your mind, please just say it."

Standing to the side, Yu Tianchen also looked at his grandfather with some confusion, not understanding why he wanted to speak with his parents.

Seeming to notice Yu Tianchen's gaze, Yu Yuanzhen chuckled and ruffled the boy's hair before looking at the couple with a serious expression:

"The soul ring Xiaochen obtained this time might exceed your imagination."

"I have nothing to say if you two enjoy bragging about your child to your friends."

"But regarding the matter of Xiaochen's soul ring, once you leave the sect hall, no one is allowed to speak of it."

"I am not just telling you this; once we go to the sect hall, I will have to tell the other elders as well."

"It is fine for the upper echelons of our sect to know, but it must absolutely not become common knowledge within the sect."

"The later other sects find out, the better."

As he spoke, Yu Yuanzhen looked at Ning Xin.

"Especially you, daughter-in-law. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is your maiden sect, you must not speak of it either. Keep it hidden if you can."

Seeing Yu Yuanzhen looking so solemn, Yu Xiaotian and Ning Xin were both a bit stunned.

They looked at their son in unison.

What kind of heaven-defying soul ring had Yu Tianchen obtained to make the Sect Master himself act so grave?

Even when Yu Tianchen was tested and found to have Innate Full Soul Power, Yu Yuanzhen had never issued such an order, had he?

Could there be something even more heaven-defying than Innate Full Soul Power?

Although their hearts were filled with questions, they both promised Yu Yuanzhen that they would never expose the matter of Yu Tianchen's soul ring.

Standing nearby, Yu Tianchen also understood his grandfather's intentions.

Innate Full Soul Power plus a thousand-year first ring was a good thing for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but if other sects found out, a good thing could very easily turn into a bad one.

Especially for a power like the Martial Soul Hall.

Once exposed, he reckoned he would be listed by the Martial Soul Hall as a target to be assassinated at any cost.

However, unless Yu Tianchen never fought again, this soul ring business would inevitably be exposed sooner or later.

Therefore, what Yu Yuanzhen needed to do was to delay the moment of exposure as much as possible.

At the mention of the Martial Soul Hall, Yu Tianchen suddenly remembered someone.

According to the plot, his second grandfather, Yu Luomian, was supposedly a future traitor to the sect, right?

Yu Tianchen hadn't looked at that part of the plot in detail, but he could confirm that Yu Luomian had indeed secretly defected to the Martial Soul Hall; it was just unclear exactly when.

To be safe, it was better to be careful.

With this thought in mind, Yu Tianchen looked at Yu Yuanzhen and said:

"Grandfather, I have suddenly had a bit of an epiphany."

"I won't go to the sect hall for now."

"As for the matter of the soul ring... Grandfather, just tell the other grandfathers that my soul ring is around seven hundred years."

"Since we are going to hide it, we might as well hide it thoroughly."

After all, he had been consuming Whale Rubber for two years; if he claimed the soul ring age was too low, the sect elders wouldn't believe it.

After all, other clansmen had seen their soul ring absorption limits increase due to consuming Whale Rubber.

As the one who proposed the method of tempering the body with Whale Rubber, it would be unjustifiable if his own soul ring age wasn't high.

Seven hundred years was a relatively reasonable range.

"Hmm?"

Yu Tianchen's sudden statement caught Yu Yuanzhen by surprise.

But after a moment of thought, he finally nodded:

"Since you have had an epiphany, it certainly cannot be delayed."

"In that case, you and your parents should head back directly."

"I will handle the other elders."

Yu Tianchen nodded, then left the area with Yu Xiaotian and Ning Xin.

After watching the family of three depart, Yu Yuanzhen finally turned his gaze toward the direction of the sect's main hall.

"Xiaochen is right; if we are going to keep it a secret, we might as well do it thoroughly."

"The fewer people who know about the thousand-year first spirit ring, the better."

He murmured to himself, his spirit power surging as he flew directly toward the main hall.

On the other side.

Upon returning home, Yu Xiaotian and Ning Xin immediately surrounded Yu Tianchen.

"Xiaochen, quick, show your father your spirit ring!"

Yu Xiaotian spoke with impatience.

Ning Xin also wore an expectant look.

The couple was practically dying of curiosity.

If not for the serious warning Yu Yuanzhen had given them at the time, they likely would have asked on the way back.

"Alright."

Yu Tianchen smiled.

He had noticed his parents' hesitant expressions on the road and figured they were about to burst.

Without further delay, he released his martial soul.

As the Five Thunder Shock Drums manifested behind him, a pale purple spirit ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.

Upon seeing the color of the ring, Yu Xiaotian and Ning Xin's eyes widened in shock.

"Thousand... thousand-year..."

Yu Xiaotian was so stunned he could barely speak clearly.

Ning Xin was also at a loss for words.

The couple finally understood why Yu Yuanzhen had warned them at the gate not to speak of their son's spirit ring.

"Alright, Xiaochen, put your martial soul away."

Yu Xiaotian spoke to Yu Tianchen sternly:

"Even within the family, do not reveal your spirit ring easily unless your strength is sufficient."

"If you want a sparring partner, you can come to me directly, or go to your grandfather."

"Mm, I understand, Dad."

Yu Tianchen nodded and retracted his martial soul.

"Brother Tian, we should still go see Father."

Ning Xin said to Yu Xiaotian:

"You know about the method Xiaochen used to cultivate with heavenly lightning; it would be best to have Father arrange a specialized mimicry cultivation environment."

"Father has likely already arranged it."

Yu Xiaotian thought for a moment and said:

"Forget it, I'll go ask just to be sure."

"I'll go with you."

Ning Xin nodded. It would be a good opportunity to discuss how to arrange Yu Tianchen's future cultivation with Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Tianchen did not say much regarding his parents going to consult Yu Yuanzhen about his training.

He did indeed require a suitable mimicry cultivation environment to further his Great Sun Thunder Body.

Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, Yu Yuanzhen had mentioned that he had already instructed the elders to prepare a dedicated training ground for him; his parents' visit should help finalize the matter.

After seeing his parents off, Yu Tianchen did not immediately begin his cultivation, but instead returned to his room and took out a notebook.

Now that he had obtained his first spirit ring, there was nothing left to do but follow his cultivation routine.

It was time for him to properly develop his Five Thunder Shock Drums.
