Heaven and Earth Restriction

Heaven and Earth Restriction

As Lin Feng's words fell, three voices rang out in rapid succession.

One male voice was especially loud.

Father Ye shot to his feet, his burning gaze fixed on Lin Feng.

He had originally sat quietly in his seat, smiling as he listened to their conversation. He was no longer as taciturn as before.

In an instant, he appeared before Lin Feng and gripped one of his arms with great force.

His warm, gentle face had become exceptionally serious.

"Xiao Feng, you wouldn't lie to me, would you?"

If an ordinary person had brought this up, the three members of the Ye Family would not have reacted so strongly. They would have simply taken it as a joke.

But Lin Feng had been brought here by Ling Yuan. Clearly, he was not merely speaking casually.

Even his thoughts on the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul had likely come after considerable deliberation.

To him, nothing was more important than his wife.

Watching his other half approach the day of her death with his own eyes was truly torment.

No matter how calmly he had pretended to take things in the past, he could no longer suppress the turmoil in his heart.

What if? What if the young man before him truly had some idea worth exploring?

Lin Feng patted Father Ye's trembling hand and slowly lowered it.

"Actually, it can only be considered a small insight.

While Sister was sensing her Soul Skill just now, I discovered a problem.

The Nine Heart Begonia can indeed be called the strongest Healing Type Martial Soul, but its source has been locked down."

Mother Ye frowned, her gaze focusing on the Nine Heart Begonia in her right palm.

"Source?"

Lin Feng nodded.

"That's right, source. As the most fundamental thing within our bodies, a Martial Soul often reflects a person's characteristics.

For example, Spirit Masters with fire-attributed Martial Souls are generally more free-spirited and uninhibited.

Healing Type Spirit Masters are generally gentler.

That is because a Martial Soul's most fundamental attributes share the same origin as ourselves. It is a projection of us."

Ye Wanqing held Ye Lingling's hand and asked anxiously, "Then what do you mean when you say its source has been locked down?"

The Innate Treasure Pearl in Lin Feng's hand glowed.

"Although the Nine Heart Begonia possesses the most supreme and powerful healing Soul Skills,

the variations of its Soul Skills have already been fixed upon a single trait.

This is a case of the Martial Soul's source being anchored."

Father Ye frowned.

"I still don't quite understand what you mean."

"To put it simply, the Nine Heart Begonia is a Martial Soul suppressed by heaven and earth.

The power of its Soul Skills has caused it to be restricted by the rules of this world.

This world does not allow the Nine Heart Begonia any possibility of advancing further, and at the same time limits the number of Spirit Masters who can awaken this Martial Soul."

Father Ye and Mother Ye exchanged a glance and sighed.

Both returned to their seats of honor.

"We've actually had similar suspicions before.

The Martial Soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is much like ours. It cannot break through to Soul Sage, while our situation is even more severe."

Ye Lingling blinked, somewhat unable to understand what they were talking about.

"Auntie, are they talking about gods and demons? Lingling doesn't understand."

Ye Wanqing gave Lin Feng and the others an apologetic look before leading Ye Lingling outside.

It was better not to let Lingling come into contact with matters concerning Martial Souls too early.

Lin Feng patted Ling Yuan's soft hand and gave her a reassuring look.

"You should have all felt my Soul Skill just now. Although its strength cannot compare with the Nine Heart Begonia, the fundamental nature of the Soul Skill is exceptionally active.

You should be able to sense that this Soul Skill can produce specific healing effects according to my will. It can focus on external wounds or on the meridians.

The reason I can do this is actually related to a Cultivation Method I practice and the Heavenly Treasures I have absorbed.

They have brought my control over the deeper Source Law contained within Soul Skills to a new realm, allowing me to transcend the shackles of rules."

Mother Ye's pupils constricted slightly.

"Then, Xiao Feng, do you truly have a solution?"

Lin Feng nodded.

"I have two ideas for solving this problem.

The first is Martial Soul Evolution: raise the Martial Soul's grade and break through the suppression of heaven and earth.

The second is to control one's own Source Power and break through the shackles of the Martial Soul.

My Cultivation Method happens to be capable of the second option. It can allow Spirit Masters to truly come into contact with Source Law."

The furrow between Father Ye's brows deepened as he asked tentatively, "Why have we never heard of such a Cultivation Method before?"

Lin Feng chuckled.

"I created it myself. It hasn't been made public yet, but soon."

Father Ye clenched his fist. He suddenly realized that Lin Feng seemed to have another purpose in coming today.

Sure enough, Lin Feng continued, "I have the Heavenly Treasures needed for Martial Soul Evolution.

As for the Cultivation Method to break the shackles of the source, I can lay the foundation for you in advance.

Likewise, I have one request."

"Join Spirit Hall?"

Mother Ye sounded resigned, but Lin Feng shook his head.

"If Sister doesn't want to, there is no need. I only need you not to support any faction.

As for the path ahead, I believe you will make the right choice yourselves."

Mother Ye nodded. As long as they did not openly join Spirit Hall, they could accept it even now.

Not long ago, word had arrived that Dugu Bo had taken his entire family to join Spirit Hall.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family had practically coughed up blood.

Xue Xing had been depressed for days. Before his recruitment plan had even begun, Spirit Hall had already snatched away the person he had wanted to recruit.

After all, the only Titled Douluo who could still be considered part of the Heaven Dou Empire's side were Sword Bone of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Dugu Bo, as a powerhouse on the verge of becoming a Titled Douluo, had originally been a target for recruitment. Yet he had run off just like that. What was that supposed to mean?

As a result, the imperial family's hostility toward Spirit Hall deepened further.

For the Nine Heart Begonia Family, whose roots were in Heaven Dou, openly pledging allegiance to Spirit Hall now would likely spark conflict between the two sides.

Stealing away a temporary resident they had their eyes on was not enough, and now they had come to loot them too?

Seeing the tension leave their faces, Lin Feng said, "My Cultivation Method will still need some time before it can truly begin helping you. The Cultivation Method released to the outside world for now will not involve Source Law.

However, I can let Lingling take the Immortal Herb that can evolve her Martial Soul in advance."

After Lin Feng presented the two paths to Father Ye and Mother Ye, both were deeply shaken.

They could not help believing his words a little more.

Father Ye returned to his usual silent demeanor and gave Mother Ye a look.

Mother Ye nodded.

"What a miraculous path. Although I feel as though something is missing, its effects are incredibly powerful.

Xiao Feng, we agree to your request. We will secretly join Spirit Hall. What exactly is this Immortal Herb?"

After Lin Feng explained the Immortal Herb's effects, Mother Ye instantly rushed before him. She understood that since Lin Feng had already told them these two secrets, the Nine Heart Begonia Family was essentially tied to Spirit Hall.

Before they resolved the Martial Soul problem that had remained unsolved for a thousand years, everything else had to be set aside.

Looking at Mother Ye, who had somewhat lost her composure, Lin Feng said to Ling Yuan, "Go call Wanqing and Lingling back in."

The only Immortal Herb Lin Feng could be certain would solve the Nine Heart Begonia Family's Martial Soul problem was the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

As for Mother Ye's problem, it would have to wait until he could condense Soul Veins for others.

To grasp the profound truths of heaven and earth contained within a Martial Soul and thereby break its shackles—

That was a long process. Even Lin Feng, after becoming familiar with the Second Soul Vein over the past few months, had only just gained the confidence to begin attempting to condense Soul Veins for others after shaping the Third Soul Vein.

Father Ye suddenly asked, "Then, Xiao Feng, since the Immortal Herb can already solve Lingling's Martial Soul problem, why bring up that peerless Cultivation Method?"

Lin Feng's expression was unreadable.

"The more children, the better. I happen to like children quite a bit. Don't you agree, Sister?"

Mother Ye's face flushed red as she shot Lin Feng and Ling Yuan an annoyed glare.

Ling Yuan looked somewhat bashful. She pinched Lin Feng and whispered, "You're being improper again." Then she went outside to call Ye Wanqing and Ye Lingling back in.

Father Ye coughed lightly, looking somewhat embarrassed.
