C370 Soul Seizing

"I. . . " Ye Heng opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

"Well, not saying anything means acquiescence. I will take this kid away, who has an opinion?"

The thin old man said with an indisputable arrogance, sweeping a threatening glance at the surrounding elders.

What kind of joke was this? This skinny old man in front of him was the Heavenspan Peak's Grand Elder. His strength was even slightly stronger than the Grandmaster's.

Even the Sect Master of Hao Yuan Sect would give him some face.

Since such a figure had spoken, how could the others have any other thoughts? They could only sigh in their hearts.

"Alright!"

The thin old man said the word 'alright' before he waved his sleeve and left with Ye Heng.

After a while, Ye Heng was brought to the thatched cottage on Tongtian peak by the skinny old man.

Here, the skinny old man told Ye Heng that he was the Great Elder Yun of the Sky Reaching Peak, and his status in the Hao Yuan Sect was second only to the Sect Master.

The reason he took Ye Heng away was because Ye Heng was very likely to be the disciple who could save the Hao Yuan Sect in the prophecy.

Although Ye Heng scoffed at the words of this skinny old man, it was indeed very beneficial for him to live in this Tongtian Peak.

On the one hand, this skinny old man's Martial realm was several times higher than Ye Heng's. Teaching Ye Heng about cultivation was no different from killing a chicken with a butcher's knife.

On the other hand, the skinny old man was not stingy with providing Ye Heng with training resources. In addition to the rich Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth on the Sky Reaching Peak, Ye Heng's Martial realm could be described as progressing at a rapid pace.

Ye Heng also had an unusual desire for strength, so he did not resist staying on the Sky Reaching Peak.

Just like this, half a year passed. Ye Heng had broken through from the second level of the Void Gate to the Eighth Layer Stage. However, he had also stepped into the Eighth Layer Stage of Yuan Gate in one go. Even Elder Yun was speechless at his rate of growth.

On this day, Elder Yun had specifically instructed Ye Heng not to cause trouble because he needed to leave the sect for a month.

However, a few days after Elder Yun left, an uninvited guest arrived.

This person was actually the Elder Chiang who had helped Ye Heng when he was still a servant disciple.

Just as Ye Heng was wondering why Elder Chiang would come looking for him, Elder Chiang told him that he knew the secret of the Qiong Qi Seal and told Ye Heng to follow him.

Ye Heng was shocked when he heard this. He thought that only he knew about the Qiong Qi Seal, but he never thought that Elder Chiang would know about it as well.

Although he felt that something was amiss, he still followed Elder Chiang to find out the secret of the Qiongqi Seal.

However, the naive Ye Heng had paid a huge price for this.

Elder Chiang wasn't trying to tell Ye Heng about the secret of the seal. He was trying to use Ye Heng to achieve his goal.

It turned out that the Qiongqi Seal on the back mountain of Mischarge Peak was buried by Elder Chiang. His goal was to find a suitable person.

The situation was just as Elder Chiang had expected. The suitable person had appeared, and that was Ye Heng.

And now, Ye Heng's growth had reached such a high level. It was time for Elder Chiang to pluck the fruits.

Elder Chiang knew that he didn't have long to live, so he wanted to use the strictly forbidden soul-seizing technique among the martial artists to exchange for a young and new body.

In order to choose the host to grow quickly, Elder Chiang separated half of the Qiong Qi Seal he had, which was the one at the back of Mischarge Peak.

This way, not only could it shorten the time, but it could also make Ye Heng's body adapt. This way, Elder Chiang's soul wouldn't have too much resistance when it entered his body.

The development of the matter was beyond Elder Chiang's expectation. Ye Heng's speed of growth was so fast that it shocked him.

Because of this, Elder Chiang was afraid that Ye Heng would surpass his control if he continued to grow, so he followed the opportunity when Elder Yun went out to lure Ye Heng into the trap.

"Haha! Kid! You should know what you need to know. Hand over your body now. "

In Ye Heng's mind, Elder Chiang's soul clamored wildly.

One should know that Elder Chiang could be an expert at the Ninth Layer Stage. The strength of his soul was not something that Ye Heng, who was at the Eighth Layer Stage of Yuan Gate, could compare with.

Under Elder Chiang's attack, Ye Heng's soul flame gradually weakened. In the end, all that was left was a candle flame.

However, just as Ye Heng's soul flame was about to be devoured, the three marks on Ye Heng's body emitted a long and desolate energy.

The energy was poured into Ye Heng's tiny soul flame, and then it suddenly expanded to an overwhelming extent.

Such a change was so fast that even Elder Chiang didn't have the time to react.

"No. . . No. . . No. . . !"

Elder Chiang's soul let out three unwilling roars, then it was swallowed by Ye Heng's soul flame.

Throughout the whole process, Elder Chiang didn't even have the slightest intention to resist.

After more than ten breaths of time, the monstrous soul flame was slowly extinguished, shrunk, and finally turned into the fist-sized soul flame.

Ye Heng rolled his eyes and then suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Ye Heng's eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life.

After devouring Elder Chiang's soul, Ye Heng found out about the secret of the Proud Seal, as well as what the inheritor was.

Although Ye Heng had obtained Elder Chiang's memory, in another aspect, Ye Heng was no longer himself.

Because he had obtained Elder Chiang's memory, it was like he had experienced Elder Chiang's life once again.

Even though his consciousness was still Ye Heng, to a certain extent, he still retained a part of Elder Chiang's personality.

This also caused Ye Heng to no longer be complete with him.

"Buzz. . . "

The air trembled slightly as Ye Heng threw out a punch.

However, the rock wall behind Ye Heng collapsed with a loud bang.

It turned out that Ye Heng's Qiongqi Seal was incomplete. After swallowing Elder Chiang, the Qiongqi Seal was completed.

The true power of the Qiong Qi Seal was the power of space.

Furthermore, Ye Heng checked his body and discovered that he had already reached the Ninth Layer Stage of Yuan Gate, only a step away from the Essence Image Stage.

"It's time to return to the sect. "

Ye Heng's eyes turned cold. After which, he unleashed his Yuan energy and blasted it towards the rock wall in front of him.

"Boom. . . "

A loud explosion was heard. The scene that appeared in front of him shocked Ye Heng.

What he saw was the Strange Beast flying in the sky. Below him, there were countless Strange Beasts moving in a straight line. Ye Heng happened to be halfway up a huge mountain.

"Where is this place?"

Ye Heng was stunned for a moment. Then, he began to check Elder Chiang's memory. In the next moment, his face turned incomparably gloomy.

This place was actually called the Strange Beast Kingdom, the Southcloud Empire.

The spatial essence energy formation that Elder Chiang had used to come here was a one-way one. This naturally meant that Ye Heng could not rely on this to return to the Northern Jiang Empire.
