Ye Clan Ancestral Land

It was a world like something out of paradise.

Rosy clouds blazed overhead, and auspicious vapors drifted through the air, carrying the faint fragrance of flowers and fresh vegetation.

The ground was blanketed in emerald grass, dotted with countless unknown flowers blooming in fierce competition, creating a breathtaking sight.

Several towering ancient trees stood in the distance, their branches lush and their canopies spread wide, casting vast patches of shade.

A crystal-clear stream wound through the landscape, its babbling waters sounding like a pleasant melody.

Li Changqing, Na'er, and Bo Saixi were all stunned.

Was this really the Ancestral Land?

Could this really have been created by a support-type healing Soul Master from the Ye Clan?

Was this for real?

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have dared believe it even in their dreams.

The Ye Clan's Ancestral Land was actually a world like something out of paradise.

This looked nothing like a graveyard. It was clearly a blessed sanctuary.

Li Changqing came back to his senses, turned to Ye Lingling, and asked, "Sister Lingling, what should we do next?"

Ye Lingling was somewhat at a loss as well. She shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

After thinking for a moment, she tentatively suggested, "How about you summon your Ancient Tree of Life martial soul and see what happens?"

Li Changqing did not refuse. He nodded in agreement.

He walked onto an open patch of grass, spread his right hand, and circulated his Soul Power.

The next instant, an enormous ancient tree that seemed to hold up the heavens appeared behind him.

Its branches and leaves were luxuriant, its canopy broad, and its entire body radiated a jade-green glow.

Dense Life Force spread outward like a tidal wave.

The whole space seemed to become even more vibrant because of the ancient tree's appearance.

The flowers on the grass swayed gracefully, while the stream became more cheerful as well.

Bo Saixi, meanwhile, was not idle.

She released her spiritual power, which spread like an invisible net over the entire space as she carefully scanned every corner.

Her most important goal on this trip was to find the Heart of the Sea God.

As long as she found the Heart of the Sea God and brought it back to Sea God Island, she would no longer need to worry about Sea God Island being attacked by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

Everything else was secondary.

However, before she found any clue regarding the Heart of the Sea God, another scene drew everyone's attention.

Not long after the Ancient Tree of Life appeared, streaks of jade-green Life Force began rushing toward Li Changqing from every direction.

As though answering some kind of summons, that Life Force poured into Li Changqing's body and merged with his Ancient Tree of Life martial soul.

Li Changqing's body seemed to turn into a vortex, frantically absorbing the Life Force around him.

The green radiance around him grew increasingly intense, and his aura became ever more powerful.

Ye Lingling and Na'er could not help widening their eyes at the sight.

Na'er edged closer to Ye Lingling and asked in a low voice, "Sister Lingling, what's going on?"

Ye Lingling looked just as bewildered. Shaking her head, she said, "I don't know either. I've never heard of this... Could it be that our ancestors have manifested themselves?"

Na'er fell silent for a moment before raising a soul-searching question. "Even if the ancestors manifested themselves, why would it happen to Brother Qing? What does it have to do with him? If they were going to manifest themselves, shouldn't it be on you instead?"

That left Ye Lingling even more confused.

That was right.

If this truly was the work of her ancestors, shouldn't this Life Force have empowered her?

Why had it gone to Li Changqing instead?

This was the Ye Clan's Ancestral Land, the resting place of generations of Ye Clan ancestors.

Logically speaking, the power here should only react to Ye Clan bloodlines.

Yet Li Changqing, an outsider, had actually stirred up the Life Force within the Ancestral Land. It was completely unreasonable.

And what was even more shocking came afterward.

Under the continuous empowerment of that Life Force, Li Changqing's Soul Power Level began rising at an astonishing speed.

His Soul Power had originally been level twenty-seven. After absorbing two thousand-year soul rings, he had already reached the peak of that realm.

But now, under the infusion of Life Force from the Ancestral Land, his Soul Power began climbing steadily...

Level twenty-eight.

Level twenty-nine.

Level thirty!

In just a few minutes, Li Changqing's Soul Power Level had forcefully risen from level twenty-seven to the threshold of level thirty.

With just one more soul ring, he would become a true Soul Elder.

A Soul Elder not yet seven years old.

Not only had such a thing never appeared in the present day, it had never appeared in the entire history of the soul master world.

Ye Lingling was completely dumbfounded.

Watching the radiance around Li Changqing grow more intense and his aura rise without end, her mind went blank.

She had only wanted Li Changqing to give it a try and see whether he could resolve the flaw in the Nine Heart Begonia.

Yet she had never expected him not only to trigger a resonance with the Ancestral Land, but to directly gain three levels of Soul Power.

This was simply... simply inconceivable.

Bo Saixi also noticed the commotion. She withdrew her spiritual power and looked at Li Changqing, a trace of delight flashing through her eyes.

She had not expected Li Changqing to obtain such a fortuitous opportunity here.

It seemed the Ye Clan's Ancestral Land truly was anything but ordinary.

A moment later, Li Changqing slowly opened his eyes. A jade-green gleam flashed through his clear gaze before returning to normal.

With a thought, he withdrew the Ancient Tree of Life behind him.

The dense aura of life dispersed with it, and the entire space returned to calm.

Seeing this, Ye Lingling hurried forward and asked anxiously, "How was it? Did you find anything?"

Li Changqing nodded and admitted, "That disturbance just now was indeed caused by your ancestors. What they meant was that my current cultivation is still too low, nowhere near enough to lift the restriction on your Nine Heart Begonia. So from now on, I need to come here once a week to receive the cleansing of Life Force. Only after my cultivation reaches a certain level can I begin dealing with the Nine Heart Begonia's problem."

Although Ye Lingling was shocked to hear this, an indescribably complicated emotion welled up within her at the same time.

If she remembered correctly, wasn't she the Ye Clan's heir?

Why was she receiving worse treatment than Li Changqing?

Her own ancestors had manifested themselves, yet instead of empowering her, their direct descendant, they had benefited an outsider.

How was she, the legitimate heir of the Ye Clan, supposed to feel about that?

Still, she did not say anything more.

After all, Li Changqing truly possessed that ability, while she did not.

As long as the Nine Heart Begonia's flaw could be resolved and the Ye Clan could escape its predicament, she did not care about the process.

Just then, Bo Saixi walked over as well.

She had used her spiritual power to scan the entire space thoroughly, but had not found any trace of the Heart of the Sea God.

She stopped before Li Changqing and asked, "Did they say whether this would have any effect on you? And where is the Heart of the Sea God? Why couldn't I find it?"

Li Changqing thought for a moment, then said, "They didn't mention any effects. It should simply be increasing my cultivation. As for the Heart of the Sea God..."
