It can be said that from the moment he met Lin Xuan, every conversation he had with him greatly shocked Lin Ye.
He has always been called a genius.
Those who heard of his deeds could only find it unbelievable.
Lin Ye didn't think much of it.
They even felt that it should be this way.
He ignored the astonishment of those around him, thinking it was nothing to worry about, but now he finally experienced firsthand what it felt like for others to suffer such emotional and physical trauma.
genius...
No, wait, this little monster is just too outrageous!
At the same time, a feeling of joy welled up in Lin Ye's heart.
Such a prodigy belongs to the Lin Household!
He was right about Lin Xuan. With him around, perhaps, perhaps the entire Lin Saint Clan could return to its peak!
This was what he sought his entire life, but he died without ever achieving it.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Lin Ye looked at Lin Xuan with admiration and amazement, and spoke with emotion.
"So, what do you want to do by going to such lengths to find this remnant of my soul?"
"We can't just tell the ancestor that you've already broken through, can we?"
Of course not.
Lin Xuan shook his head.
He began, "I do have something else to do, Ancestor..."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuan recounted his various experiences and opportunities in the Vast Sea Secret Realm.
Especially regarding the matter of the Vast Sea Saint King.
That was his real purpose.
"Oh?"
Lin Ye was genuinely surprised after hearing this.
The Vast Sea Saint King.
He had heard of this name before.
The extraordinary talent that emerged from this Endless Sea corner of the Eastern Continent almost managed to take over the entire sea and establish dominance. Both his strength and talent were astonishing. If he hadn't suddenly disappeared, he might have gone even further and not just been confined to the Eastern Continent.
It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.
Surprisingly, a glimmer of hope remained.
Although he was just like him, with only a wisp of his original soul remaining, as long as he was not completely annihilated in the world, he would one day be able to make a comeback and restore his former glory.
"You want to bring him back to life?"
Lin Ye understood, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Creating this soul space isn't particularly difficult; however, nurturing and nourishing the soul is crucial and extremely challenging."
"The reason I set up my backup plan here back then was because beneath this sacred mountain lies a Spiritless Spiritual Spring that can nourish the soul. And that little fellow in your hands..."
Compared to Lin Ye, the Vast Sea Saint King is indeed a little guy.
He seemed hesitant for a moment, but in the end, his gaze towards Lin Xuan was filled with affection and expectation, and he sighed softly.
"Fine."
"My remnant soul has been nourished quite well over the years. Finding a treasure of the same level as the Spiritless Spiritual Spring is extremely difficult, almost as difficult as ascending to immortality. Since you wish to repair that remnant soul, then use this Spiritless Spiritual Spring of mine to replenish it."
This development was completely unexpected by Lin Xuan.
This was by no means the outcome he desired.
Besides, he could tell which was more important, the ancestors or the future members of the force.
Therefore, Lin Xuan resolutely refused.
"No."
Upon hearing his refusal, Lin Ye smiled instead, and the trace of hesitation in his eyes completely disappeared.
He shook his head.
"Nothing is impossible."
"My remnant soul has been mostly nurtured and is almost fully recovered. Staying here any longer will still have some use, but only to a negligible extent. It would be better to make room for you and lend you a hand."
"As your ancestor, seeing the Lin Saint Clan in such decline, I feel powerless and ashamed. Now, I finally have the opportunity to help you, so please don't refuse."
Seeing that Lin Xuan seemed to have been persuaded, he revealed another important matter.
"Furthermore, once you take my soul away, gather all nine fragments, return to the Profound Heaven Holy Land, find my body, and merge my nine remnant souls into it, I..."
"Then you can return to this world once more!"
Lin Ye's eyes flashed, a look of sorrow and sighing crossed his face. He turned his head to look at the distant void and exhaled softly.
"I can feel that my body still exists in this world."
What!?
Lin Xuan's heart suddenly jolted.
The ancestor's body is still alive?
There's still a chance to recover through physical means!?
It's important to know that our ancestor was very likely Saint Lord level being back then!
If our ancestors could be resurrected...
Before Lin Xuan could think it over, Lin Ye had already made the decision for him.
With a casual wave of his hand and a flick of his sleeve, Lin Xuan was instantly swept out of the illusory soul space. He moved slightly, opened his eyes again, and saw the familiar stone wall.
However, the golden runes on the stone wall seemed to have completed their mission and were dissipating one by one.
It changed from a bright gold color to the original dark blue color.
As the colors of the stone walls changed, the entire sacred mountain suddenly began to tremble.
The earth shook, and countless Bifang and Chongming Bird Clan were thrown into chaos. They steadied themselves in confusion, then hurriedly took to the air, looking down at the still trembling sacred mountain, completely unaware of what was happening.
But as the shaking of the sacred mountain intensified, the bewilderment on everyone's faces gradually turned into hesitation, astonishment, and a hint of probing. They began to gasp for air, sensing the Spiritual Power surging in the air.
Wu Liang closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly opened them and exclaimed, "It's not an illusion!"
"The concentration of Spiritual Power here is really increasing!"
As he finished speaking, the sacred mountain upon which the Bifang Clan depended for survival suddenly split open from the middle. The abyss, like a giant maw swallowing people, opened in all directions, and countless golden runes shot out, seemingly for protection and guidance.
Beneath the streaks of bright, golden light, a spring, roughly the size of a millstone, rises from the ground, its waters swaying gently with the vibrations, as if laden with moonlight.
Almost the instant the spring appeared, everyone present blushed and gasped for breath.
Spiritual Power!
The air is now almost entirely filled with Spiritual Power!
A terrifying Spiritual Qi spread outwards, and in an instant, a young man from the Bifang Tribe bent over in pain, forcing out a sentence from his lips.
"I... I'm about to break through!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he could no longer hold back and sat cross-legged on the spot, beginning his breakthrough.
The Bifang Tribe was left bewildered and looked at Lin Xuan in panic.
"S-Sir..."
He wanted to explain, Lin Xuan shook his head.
"It's alright, I know you didn't do it intentionally."
After glancing at the young man, Lin Xuan turned his gaze back to the spring, his heart filled with even greater amazement.
The concentration of Spiritual Power in this spring was terrifyingly high. The Bifang must have been at the critical juncture of a breakthrough, and he was passively drawn into the breakthrough process simply by accidentally inhaling a whiff of it.
The opponent's strength was at the Heavenly Profound Realm, and the Spiritual Power used for the breakthrough was negligible and not worth mentioning.
This also indirectly proves the preciousness of this Spiritless Spiritual Spring.
Even he was shocked.
