The speed of the palm print was not fast, and could even be said to be extremely slow. However, it possessed an extremely mysterious power, which made Ye Chen feel powerless and unable to resist it.
Swoosh!
Just as Ye Chen was about to wave his hands to block it, the palm print passed through his body like smoke.
"What's going on?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly. Then he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body as if it was being torn apart. His head swelled to the point of bursting. He fell to the ground and rolled around, letting out heart-wrenching cries.
The pain did not last long before it suddenly disappeared. A smile appeared at the corner of Duan Chongyu's mouth. "How does it feel to have your body attacked by the power of the soul?"
"Power of the soul?" Ye Chen was stunned.
He stood up and looked at his body. There was not a trace of injury on his body. However, the pain just now was so real that it made him feel a lingering fear.
"Power of the soul is different from Qi. It is even more different from weapons. It is invisible and colorless, like smoke. It is unstoppable. At the same time, it can cause terrifying damage to the soul of others."
Duan Chongyu's words immediately made Ye Chen somewhat understand. Power of the soul was a remarkable ability that only Saint Way cultivators could control. The reason why Saint Way was far stronger than Truth Way was precisely because of the power of the soul.
Power of the soul could ignore any obstruction and directly cause damage to the soul of others. If the opponent did not control the power of the soul, then they would be like sitting ducks. They could only run wildly without any ability to fight back.
"So the palm print just now was unleashed by Master Duan?" Ye Chen turned to look at Duan Chongyu.
Duan Chongyu shook his head. "I did not attack just now. The palm print of the soul was actually unleashed by this ancient book."
As he spoke, Duan Chongyu held the ancient book in his hand and said, "This ancient book was accidentally obtained by me in a cave residence. The ancient book records all the ways to use the power of the soul, big and small. It has everything you need."
"The most mysterious thing is that this ancient book can automatically release a soul attack, allowing the reader to have a deeper understanding of the soul. If that palm strike just now was released by me, you would have already become an ice-cold corpse."
Ye Chen believed Duan Chongyu's words without a doubt.
The cultivation of the Second Heaven of the Saint Path was enough to stand at the peak of the Qinwu Dynasty. If he wanted to kill Ye Chen, it would only take him a blink of an eye.
The Divine Path was a plane that truly touched the heavens and earth. There were countless magical powers, and it could be said that one was an existence like a god.
"During this period of time, you should properly cultivate in the pavilion at the center of the lake. Firstly, I can guide you to understand your heart. Secondly, you can properly study this ancient book and step into the Dao of the Soul in advance."
"However, what is recorded in this ancient book is only the most basic use of the power of the soul. There is no way to attack it. Moreover, with your current power of the soul, if you rush to succeed, it will have a great impact on your future cultivation."
Duan Chongyu's expression became serious, and his voice carried an inviolable tone. Ye Chen's gaze turned cold, and he nodded. "I will listen to Master Duan's teachings. I dare not be careless."
Hearing this, Duan Chongyu smiled. "Now, you should properly cultivate. I will check on you every three days. With your talent, you will be able to familiarize yourself with the power of the soul in about a month. Remember, do not rush to succeed."
"Yes!"
Ye Chen nodded again and immediately sat down cross-legged to carefully study the words in the ancient book.
"He is indeed a good seedling, but how far he can grow will still depend on his own efforts and luck."
Seeing Ye Chen enter a state of cultivation, Duan Chongyu smiled with relief. He turned around and strode out of the peach blossom forest, heading straight for the pavilion at the center of the lake.
Hum!
But at this moment, an extremely soft hum, with Ye Chen as the center, slowly spread to the entire peach blossom forest.
At this moment, Ye Chen's body was emitting a misty light. If Ye Chen's clothes were taken off at this moment, one would be surprised to see that on his chest, there were two mysterious patterns, one black and one green, that slowly appeared.
The black pattern was a magic mouse pattern, hidden in the darkness, agile and mysterious.
The green pattern was a fierce tiger pattern, roaring in the forest, extremely domineering and ferocious.
These two diagrams flickered indeterminately and revealed a misty state. However, every time they flickered, they would emit a strand of invisible and colorless profound energy.
If Duan Chongyu was still here, he would be surprised to find that this mysterious power was the power of the soul, and it was incomparably pure.
… ….
In the pavilion at the center of the lake.
Duan Chongyu had not stepped through the doorway when Murong Xue quickly walked up with an anxious look on her face. She asked, "How is it?
Has Ye Chen really mastered the power of the soul?
Will he be able to understand that ancient book? "
A series of questions came out like cannonballs. Duan Chongyu smiled helplessly and said, "Girl, you are so anxious. How can an old man like me explain it to you in detail?"
Hearing this, Murong Xue's whole face immediately turned red. She lowered her head and took a few steps back. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the meaningful smile on Duan Chongyu's face and immediately swallowed her words. She pursed her lips and did not say a word.
"I really don't know what to do with you."
Duan Chongyu smiled and shook his head. "Ye Chen has indeed mastered the power of the soul, but he is still at the superficial stage and needs a long time to adapt. As for that ancient book, I am not sure how much he can understand. After all, in the entire Qinwu Dynasty, this is the first time I have seen someone who has a trace of the power of the soul at the level of Origin Gang."
"Just the superficial?"
Murong Xue sighed with a little disappointment.
"It is useless to be anxious about this kind of thing. It depends on one's luck."
Duan Chongyu paused, then changed the topic and asked, "About your marriage with Duanmu Yu, what do you think of Old Lady Murong?"
Murong Xue's eyes were filled with disappointment. She said helplessly, "Duanmu Yu is the crown prince of the Tianyan Dynasty and will definitely inherit the throne of the Tianyan Emperor in the future. Our Crystal Palace is in decline. Why would my mother care about my feelings for the sake of the sect?"
The Tianyan Dynasty was the neighboring dynasty of the Qinwu Dynasty. Its national strength was even stronger than that of the Qinwu Dynasty. How high would the status of the heir of such a dynasty be?
In Duanmu Yu's eyes, the young palace master of the Crystal Palace, Murong Xue, was like an ordinary girl from a noble family. If he took the initiative to propose a marriage, almost no one could refuse.
"You are in the sect and have no choice. If this matter is really set in stone, you should be a little more open-minded. I heard that Duanmu Yu has a pure character and is very respected in the Tianyan Dynasty. You don't have to be so desperate."
Duan Chongyu patted Murong Xue's shoulder, sighed deeply, and walked out slowly.
"Oh, right."
Suddenly, Duan Chongyu stopped and said slowly, "During this period, Ye Chen will be meditating in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. If there is nothing, you should not disturb him. After all, the two of you are in different positions. The more you force Ye Chen, the more difficult it will be for him."
Duan Chongyu stopped and left the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
