Thinking of this, Ye Xiaofan dared not be presumptuous. He bowed deeply without daring to even think of asking about the elder’s identity.
The elder, seeing this, was unconcerned, assuming that Ye Xiaofan was just shocked by the contents of the book.
He slowly walked towards Ye Xiaofan, took the ancient book from his hands, and gently caressed it, as if talking to himself or perhaps conversing with Ye Xiaofan.
"The Forbidden Martial Soul, also known as the Growth-type Martial Soul. This type of Martial Soul may start off at a low level, even very low, at the ti of initial awakening, but it grows with the awakener."
"When they grow to the Divine Level and reach full level, they accumulate strength to leap into a Forbidden Martial Soul, allowing the awakener to sense the thirty-first type of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, even the thirty-second, thirty-third...and so on."
"The world knows there are thirty-six types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Little do they know, the last six are the most fearso."
"These six types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi are not accepted by the Three Thousand Great Dao, yet cannot be eradicated. The world calls them—Forbidden Spiritual Qi."
"And the Forbidden Martial Soul is the dium that can sense the last six types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Such awakeners are also known as the Forbidden Child."
"In any era, the birth of a new Forbidden Child inevitably brings about a reversal of fate, the shifting of stars, drawing of calamities, unsettling all heavens."
"Of course, if a Forbidden Child is born in the era’s end, they can also reverse the Great Dao, stabilize nurous realms, resolve calamities, and save countless lives, sealing paths to the heavens, extinguishing the catastrophe, and bringing clarity to the world."
Listening to the elder’s words, Ye Xiaofan trembled all over, frozen in place.
According to the elder, Growth-type Martial Souls are Forbidden Martial Souls. No wonder he never heard of anyone with a Growth-type Martial Soul in Star Moon City—it’s a Forbidden Martial Soul, sothing unseen for ages, naturally rarely ntioned.
However, what shocked Ye Xiaofan was not these contents, but his own Martial Soul.
This was also why he was so shocked that the ancient book fell just now.
If a Growth-type Martial Soul is indeed a Forbidden Martial Soul, then what is his Martial Soul?
Ye Xiaofan’s Martial Soul not only fits the description of a Growth-type Forbidden Martial Soul but also has unprecedented differences.
Firstly, his Martial Soul is indeed a Growth-type Martial Soul, as noted in the ancient books, one of the Forbidden Martial Souls.
Secondly, the ancient books did not ntion any self-awareness in a Forbidden Martial Soul. Does that an that even a Forbidden Martial Soul lacks a protective Spiritual Sense?
Moreover, the elder’s description just now matched exactly with what’s recorded in the ancient books.
A Forbidden Martial Soul is a Growth-type Martial Soul. At the start of awakening, it is not too strong and cannot sense too much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but it grows with the awakener to sense more types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi over ti.
Yet Ye Xiaofan’s Martial Soul, even in its infancy, can already sense thirty-six types of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which is worlds apart from a Forbidden Martial Soul.
Could it be that his Martial Soul is above the Forbidden Martial Soul? An ancient Martial Soul never before seen? Or has such a Martial Soul appeared in endless ages, just not been recorded in books?
"Elder, is there a more terrifying Martial Soul above the Forbidden Martial Soul?" Despite his respect, Ye Xiaofan couldn’t help but ask.
However, the answer he received was that a Forbidden Martial Soul is already the highest Martial Soul, or rather the highest recorded Martial Soul throughout history.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofan was utterly stunned. That ans looking at the ancient world, even in ancient books, only six kinds of Forbidden Martial Souls are recorded.
Then how should his Martial Soul be classified?
For a mont, Ye Xiaofan’s heart could not calm down, and his eyes were full of shock. The elder, seeing the look on the young man’s face, didn’t think otherwise, believing that the child was shocked by the information about the Forbidden Martial Soul.
Ye Xiaofan’s breathing was rapid. He tried hard to suppress his emotions before slowly raising his eyes.
However, as he lifted his gaze, the old figure had vanished into thin air, disappearing as if under his very eyes in the blink of an eye.
This made Ye Xiaofan greatly alard, instantly recalling the scene of the elder’s appearance.
The other arrived silently, with no fluctuation on him, no aura at all.
The elder standing before him seed no different from an ordinary, non-cultivating mortal.
But this was clearly impossible; even when facing Dugu Nan and Qi Yun, Ye Xiaofan could sense an overwhelming, imposing pressure.
Yet this elder gave him the feeling of being no different from a mortal, a sign of returning to the original state, his power terrifying beyond imagination.
"Elder? Elder?" Ye Xiaofan attempted to call out several tis, but got no response, as if the earlier encounter was a re dream, and the elder had never appeared.
Ti slowly passed.
Ye Xiaofan didn’t know how he left the Library Pavilion or even how he returned to the South Peak.
Originally, he thought that after entering the Divine Sword Sect, he could clear up the origin of his Martial Soul. Unexpectedly, it added another layer of mysterious terror.
"Fan’Er, Fan’Er?"
On the South Peak, until Dugu Nan and Qi Yun greeted Ye Xiaofan, he suddenly sprung back to reality.
"Fan’Er, what’s wrong? Just a trip to the Library Pavilion and you seem like you’ve lost your soul?" Dugu Nan frowned slightly, clearly seeing Ye Xiaofan was distracted.
Ye Xiaofan quickly reacted upon hearing this, but he didn’t ntion investigating his Martial Soul. Instead, he told Dugu Nan and Qi Yun about the elder he t at the Library Pavilion.
"What did you say? A fingerless old man?"
After hearing Ye Xiaofan’s description of the elder’s appearance, both Dugu Nan and Qi Yun were visibly shaken, as if hearing sothing extrely terrifying, standing still in shock.
"Fan’Er, are you sure that elder was missing a little finger?" Qi Yun, as if hearing earth-shattering news, asked urgently.
Ye Xiaofan nodded slightly. Although he only had a brief contact with the elder, the missing finger on the right hand was very noticeable.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Nan was exceptionally excited, gripping Ye Xiaofan, his eyes full of fervor: "Fan’Er, where is that person you ntioned?"
Ye Xiaofan was startled by Dugu Nan’s sudden excitent but still replied, "The Martial Soul Area in the Library Pavilion."
Dugu Nan, breathing rapidly, repeated the na of the place, and then imdiately ascended, turning into a long rainbow, darting toward Spirit Peak where the Library Pavilion is located.
Ye Xiaofan watched this scene with utter bewildernt.
But before he could speak, Qi Yun also had a solemn face: "Fan’Er, you must not ntion eting that elder to anyone again. I need to go to Divine Sword Peak to inform the Sect Leader and all the Supre Elders. Rember, do not speak of this to others, let alone spread the word, or it will cause chaos in the Divine Sword Sect."
After repeatedly warning, Qi Yun also quickly moved forward, preparing to fly toward Divine Sword Peak.
Watching this, a typhoon of waves surged in Ye Xiaofan’s heart; he hastily called out to Qi Yun, "Senior Qi, who is that elder?"
Qi Yun paused upon hearing his call, slowly turned to look at Ye Xiaofan, and ntioned the elder’s identity, breathing heavily: "An ’old man’ who could bring down the heavens."
Ye Xiaofan stood there, stunned, until this mont, having no idea what kind of terrifying figure he had encountered.
It wasn’t until he heard Qi Yun’s next words that he realized the world-shaking origin of that old figure.
And upon learning the elder’s identity, Ye Xiaofan was completely left in a daze.
