234: Xingli

After waiting for a good while, the voice didn't reply to him. He finally couldn't take it anymore and cursed, "Exactly which old hag is talking to me? Get the hell out here!"

"Brat! You have some nerve!"

Jiang Ye's Soul shuddered as it was suddenly suppressed. The power of that pressure was immense, as if it were going to crush his Soul into pieces!

"Argh, argh, argh..."

Jiang Ye fell straight from the air. Wu Linglong rushed over in concern, but an invisible, powerful force directly bounced her back.

"Ah..."

"Linglong!!" Wu Jiutian hurried to support her.

Jiang Ye shouted, "No one come over, stay away from me!! Ugh, argh..."

That terrifying power was still suppressing his Soul. His Thunder Soul was experiencing this kind of restraint for the first time, and he was completely powerless to resist. Previously, Yan Kui had said that once he forged his Thunder Soul, no one's Soul on this continent could contend with him. That was all damn lies! Now, this eerie power was about to crush his Soul!

The female voice rang out again: "Brat, apologize! Address this Goddess as Grandmother Xing Li!"

"Bastard! No one can make me, Jiang Ye, submit! If you have the guts, then crush my Soul... Argh, argh, argh..."

The pressure instantly intensified. Jiang Ye immediately shouted, "Grandmother, Grandmother! Grandmother Xing Li! I was wrong, I apologize, I apologize! Let me go." His stubbornness didn't even last half a breath's time.

"Hahaha! And here I thought you were actually so tough. You brat, you almost made me die laughing!"

"Grandmother Xing Li! Quick... stop quickly... my Soul is about to... explode!"

"Hehehe, you made me laugh so much I almost forgot."

The Soul pressure vanished, and Jiang Ye's Soul was instantly liberated. He was filled with terror! It seemed like just a small trick from this person was enough to leave him unable to even resist.

At that moment, Jiang Ye's Soul appeared in a space that looked like a paradise. A woman who looked like an immortal sat beside a stone table. Jiang Ye was shocked once again; what kind of method was this?

Jiang Ye walked slowly toward the woman. When he reached her and saw her face, it was extremely exquisite, possessing an indescribable aura. She didn't look like a Mortal at all; it was as if Immortal Qi surrounded her body.

"Who are you?"

The woman raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? Do you want to repeat the lesson from just now?"

"What!" Jiang Ye retreated repeatedly in fear. It was her! She was the person who had spoken to him several times before. His voice trembled as he said, "That... um... Grandmother Xing Li, hehehe!"

"Good boy! If you are disrespectful to me, I won't be like your mother and simply hit you with a stick."

Jiang Ye's head buzzed again, and he was so scared he could hardly speak. "You... who exactly are you? Why do you know about my past?"

Xing Li stretched and said slowly, "It's a long story, I'll tell you later! Hurry up and do something for me. Go and find those other two brats who grew up with you and bring them to me."

"You... what do you want to do?" Jiang Ye was nervous to the extreme. This person was too terrifying; even Yan Kui had never made him feel such intense pressure.

"Don't worry! I have something on them; I won't hurt them."

Jiang Ye was stunned. "What do you have on them?"

"Two of my Soul Fragments. My main soul is with you, which is why I woke up earlier."

Jiang Ye was completely bewildered. "Why would your Soul be on us?"

"I'll tell you later! Right now, I'm only slightly empowered by the influence of you refining those dozen or so Souls. I'll soon have to continue sleeping for a while."

Jiang Ye instantly thought of something. "The power I refined was all absorbed by you?"

Thinking further, if a powerhouse of this level was willing to guide him, there would be hope for the fifth stage of the World-Defying God Slaying Art.

"Senior, can you guide me in cultivating my Cultivation Technique?"

"Hmm?" Xing Li glared at him.

Jiang Ye's body shuddered, and he hurriedly said, "Xing... Grandmother Xing Li, can you guide me in that Cultivation Technique?"

Xing Li said slowly, "The person who gave you that technique was quite generous. This technique you're practicing is already infinitely close to the power of a top-tier Divine Art."

"Divine Art? What's that?"

Xing Li sighed helplessly. "Sigh!! Finish cultivating that technique of yours first. Saying anything now would be redundant."

Jiang Ye frowned slightly. "But cultivating this is so hard! Up until now, I haven't found any way to Cultivate the fifth stage."

Xing Li scolded, "Idiot! You have uniquely favorable conditions yourself; you should have mastered it long ago! Yet you insist on taking those crooked paths. I've reminded you twice before; you really are as stupid as they come!"

Jiang Ye was stunned. "Eh? Are you saying I should directly use my Yang Fire to burn my own Soul and ignite the soul fire?"

"Yes!" Xing Li said softly.

"But... that would burn my Soul away directly!"

Xing Li put her hand to her forehead. "Sigh!! You stubborn donkey, I didn't tell you to calcine your entire Soul all at once. Can't you take it slowly, bit by bit, and let your Soul adapt to the state of calcination? Once your Soul has adapted, won't your soul fire be completely ignited?"

Jiang Ye finally realized the truth and laughed foolishly. "So that's how it is! Hahaha!"

Xing Li was somewhat speechless. "Alright! Within three days, bring those two brats over, and then I will awaken the other two Soul Fragments."

"Oh, and what then after you awaken them?"

Xing Li said impatiently, "To recover Soul Power, of course. Do you really need to ask such a simple thing? Go! Don't talk to me; your stupidity is making my head spin."

Suddenly, Jiang Ye's physical eyes snapped open as he returned to reality. He exhaled deeply, his entire being still in shock. Such a terrifying Soul was actually hidden inside him. He had originally thought Yan Kui was invincible, but once this Soul recovered its strength, Yan Kui probably wouldn't even be her match.

Jiang Ye slowly stood up. Seeing him return to normal, Wu Linglong also walked over.

"Young Master, what happened to you? Are you alright?" Wu Linglong asked with a face full of worry.

"I'm fine. Did I hurt you just now?"

Wu Linglong shook her head gently and said, "No. I thought something had gone wrong with you, Young Master."

"By the way, I have an urgent matter and need to find my two brothers, so you stay here. If those people from the Wu Family come to cause trouble, have the Grand Elder open the Sect-Protecting Magic Array. If the opponents are too strong, the Azure Emperor will step in to clear them out."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here," Wu Linglong said obediently.

Jiang Ye immediately set off for the Mountain Moving Sect. Half an hour later, he arrived at the gates of the Mountain Moving Sect and stated his purpose to the Disciples guarding the gate.

After a while, the Mountain Moving Sect's vice sect master, Ox Flood, came out personally.

"Little friend Jiang, it has been a long time!"

Jiang Ye cupped his hands in greeting and said, "vice sect master Niu, I have urgent business and need to find Shi Bao."

"Hehehe, you've come at a good time. He just finished his Breakthrough and is almost done adjusting his breath. Follow me!"

"Thank you!"

As they walked into the Mountain Moving Sect, all the Disciples were buzzing with discussion. This young man actually required their vice sect master to receive him personally?
