The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal - Chapter 332

Chapter 332: Chapter 332: The Pearl Breaks the Curse, Sealing Stone, Return
 

“`

“This process, why does it resemble the middle-rank challenges in the fourth level combat zone of the Cultivation Tower so much?”

Mo Ying whispered.

Not only could she hear herself, but also the will of the Ancient Soul Clan and the previous High Priestess behind the scenes heard her loud and clear.

“Cultivation Tower?”

“Combat Zone?”

The will of the Ancient Soul Clan and the old High Priestess exchanged glances. Even after combing through their memories, they couldn’t find any related records.

“Which Sect did she join from the outside world?” the will of the Ancient Soul Clan asked.

“Misty Sect,” the old High Priestess replied.

“Is there a Star-Level Sect like this in the Southern River Basin?” the will of the Ancient Soul Clan furrowed its brows, searching its memories, but could only find records of the Myriad Islands Alliance, Divine Wind Sword Sect, County King City, Sword King Sect, and the like.

“Perhaps it’s not a Sect from the Southern River Basin,” the old High Priestess guessed.

After the battle ten years ago, aside from Mo Ying, all other members of the Ancient Soul Clan had turned into a Soul Spirit State, unable to leave, effectively cut off from any outside information for a decade. They were quite isolated from news.

Inside the Secret Realm.

Mo Ying continued to move forward.

Having undergone the trials of the Cultivation Tower’s fourth level combat zone, she didn’t think the monsters of the Underground Cavern Alien Race here were very strong.

One on one, she could easily sweep through them.

“However, this here is a real existing Secret Realm, and I have only one life. If I were to fall, I would become a soul spirit, stuck on this island forever, never able to see my Sect Leader again.”

A metal orb appeared in Mo Ying’s palm.

This was the amulet Ye Feng had given her, to be used only when facing danger she couldn’t resist.

For now, it wasn’t needed.

Crack!

In the cavern ahead, another four-armed monster emerged, swinging a heavy bone staff and smashing it towards her.

“Streaming Light Sword Qi!”

Expenditing a strand of Swift Sword Intent, the Flying Sword in Mo Ying’s hand drastically increased in speed, instantly piercing through the four-armed creature’s head.

Demon Core +1.

Mo Ying kept advancing.

Soon, she reached the base of a high tower, lifting her head to see the relic pearl at the top of the tower.

Looking at the nine Lower-Rank Demon General Level Demon Cores in her hand, Mo Ying nodded in satisfaction and said, “Very good, I’ve gathered enough Demon Cores, now I can awaken the relic pearl.”

With a leap, Mo Ying landed on the top of the tower.

The relic pearl, as large as a head, was set at the tip of the pagoda, surrounded by nine notches. Only by inserting the nine Demon Cores could the relic pearl be opened, releasing the mysterious power needed to break the curse.

Click click click…

Mo Ying worked swiftly, all nine Demon Cores were set in place.

Hum!

The relic pearl emitted a brilliant light, casting countless ancient symbols that all merged into Mo Ying’s body, transforming the fishbone-shaped mark on her forehead into a red Other Shore Flower-like totem.

The curse, was lifted!

From this day forward, even if she left her ancestors’ lands of the Ancient Soul Clan, her face would no longer be corroded by demon patterns, and she would finally be able to show her true face.

Roar!

Hundreds of meters away, from within a vast cavern, a piercing roar sounded, as a worm-like creature covered in sharp teeth burst forth, exuding the aura of a Middle-Rank Demon General at its peak.

“I can’t afford to dawdle in battle!”

Mo Ying quickly stepped on her Flying Sword, aiming to return to the archway with the greatest speed, and managed to get away before the worm-like creature could get too close.

“Merge!”

The will of the Ancient Soul Clan expelled a ray of light, shattering the archway and severing the passage to that Secret Realm.

“Ah Ying, you did it!” Seeing the fishbone-shaped mark on Mo Ying’s forehead become like a flame-like Other Shore Flower, the old High Priestess cried tears of joy.

“You little girl are quite impressive, cutting down same-rank creatures from the Underground Cavern like mowing grass. Your combat power is high; even in the history of our Ancient Soul Clan, you would be considered top-notch,” the will of the Ancient Soul Clan praised her highly.

“Thank you, Elders, for making this possible,”

Mo Ying bowed deeply to the will of the Ancient Soul Clan.

The will of the Ancient Soul Clan is the amalgamation of countless soul spirits of the Ancient Soul Clan. Although not high in combat power, it encompasses all memories of those soul spirits, a living treasure trove of knowledge.

Within the Ancient Soul Clan, its status was even higher than that of the High Priestess.

“Alright, go out there and flourish. Strive to create a prosperous Ancient Soul Clan soon.”

The will of the Ancient Soul Clan retracted into the bronze cauldron.

The next moment, a repulsive force exploded.

Carrying a belly full of doubts and accompanied by the old High Priestess, Mo Ying returned to the broken altar, pondering the meaning of “go out there and flourish.”

“Ah Ying, now that your curse has been removed, do you plan to stay a little longer, or will you leave now?”

“`

The old woman asked.

“I plan to go take a look at the entrance to the underground cavern.” Mo Ying pointed to the other side of the island, where there was a black peak that topped like the mouth of a volcano, the passageway to the underground cavern.

“The seal of the cave is very firm, don’t worry!” the old woman said, taking Mo Ying as they both took flight toward the black mountain, a dozen miles away.

At the peak hundreds of meters high.

The two hovered in the air, looking down.

Below was a lake, and at the bottom of the lake there was a glowing boulder inscribed with complex and profound array patterns. It was the “Sealing Stone,” formed after every creature of the Ancient Soul Clan sacrificed their flesh, suppressing the entrance to the cavern very firmly.

“Rest assured, that is a seal that has gathered the strength of our entire Ancient Soul Clan. It can even hold back the King of the Foreign Clan from the Divine Origin Realm, blocking other members of the Alien Race should be no problem.”

The old woman emphasized repeatedly.

She turned around, sized up Mo Ying, and said softly, “Ah Ying, you’re even more beautiful than I was at your age. If you were to show your true face in the future, I’m afraid it would attract countless pursuers.”

Mo Ying drew her flying sword and said, “Men will only slow down my sword-drawing speed.”

“Ah…” The old woman had a strange expression on her face.

Could it be that Mo Ying has no plans to find a dual cultivation companion?

If so, wouldn’t the Ancient Soul Clan be without descendants?

Not acceptable!

I must nudge her into marriage!

Just as the old woman was about to say something, she saw Mo Ying take out a metal orb and hand it over.

“High Priest, this is the backup plan left to me by the Sect Leader. Should we encounter an insurmountable threat, crush this.”

Mo Ying repeated Ye Feng’s words.

“I am a high-level practitioner in the Spirit Sea Realm, and with the strength of the tens of thousands of soul spirits of my clan, even those in the Divine Origin Realm could be contested.” The old woman shook her head confidently.

“My Sect Leader is unfathomable, and even those in the Divine Origin Realm might have to bow before him.”

Mo Ying pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Since joining the Misty Sect, she initially thought that Ye Feng’s cultivation was at most at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. But as time passed and as the disciples improved and the external enemies grew tougher, they would all end up defeated by Ye Feng.

To this day, Mo Ying strongly believed that Ye Feng must be a Great Power in the Divine Origin Realm, deliberately concealing his aura while founding the Misty Sect.

“Even those in the Divine Origin Realm are afraid of him?” The old woman was shocked, and quickly tucked the metal orb away.

“High Priest, since there is no issue with the clan, I will head back first. The Sect Leader must be worried about me too!”

Having said that, Mo Ying put her black veil and hat back on, went to the shore, and whistled. She stepped on top of the octopus’s head and headed towards the opposite shore enshrouded in mist.

Upon reaching the shore, she lifted her veil and took out a mirror to find her appearance was no longer corroded; she was overjoyed in her heart.

“I’m finally healed!”

Excited like a young girl, she stepped on her Breeze-riding Sword and hurried back to the Misty Sect at the fastest speed.

“After this journey, my heart demon should have been broken, and I should be able to enter the Opportunity Zone on the sixth level of the Cultivation Tower, right?”

“What kind of opportunities exist there, I wonder?”

Mo Ying’s anticipation grew.

…

In the Ancient Soul Clan ancestral land.

At the bottom of the Sealing Stone inside that black peak, numerous strong-bodied members of the Underground Cavern Alien Race were bombarding it.

Crack!

The Sealing Stone was very solid.

It didn’t show any damage, but the Alien Race members smashing into it were bloodied and bruised, with some even falling on the spot.

However, their demon blood seeped into the Sealing Stone, continually corroding it, reducing its strength.

Although slow, it was indeed effective.

The old woman did not know this.

Neither did Mo Ying.

None of the entire soul spirits of the Ancient Soul Clan understood.

Even the numerous members of the Alien Race within the underground cavern did not know that their demon blood had the effect of eroding the Sealing Stone.

As for the will of the Ancient Soul Clan, encapsulated within the altar of the Cave Heaven World, if it could come to the outside world, it might have noticed something.

But sadly, it was trapped in the Cave Heaven World, unable to venture out.

…

Mo Ying was speeding on her return journey.

Since breaking the curse, she had discovered that her cultivation level had, with the enhancement of the Other Shore Flower-like flame mark on her forehead, reached the peak of the first layer of the Element Gathering Realm.

“After I return, I should be able to break through the realm!”

She murmured to herself as she continued forward.
