"Did you hear? Junior Sister Ning Xue has indeed opened up an Earth grade life sea. Just now, when she left the second layer of the Ancestral Land, she directly alarmed the two elders!"

"Junior Sister Ning Xue has not only opened up her life sea, but it's also said that she has obtained the Nine Heavens Divine Crane Diagram's dao soul. If she were to condense a dao soul from the Nine Heavens Divine Crane Diagram in the future, her strength would simply be incalculable!"

"I heard that the Dao soul formed by Senior Sister Bai Qingyou is from the Nine Heavens Divine Crane Diagram. The two sisters are truly a legend."

"Nine Heavens Divine Crane, one of the four profound arts. Junior Sister Ning Xue will definitely be listed on the Proclamation of Azure Sky in the future."

"I wonder what kind of life sea that Han Yitian and Xue Tu established. Among this batch of newcomers, the three of them are the most dazzling, especially that Han Yitian. His talent should not be underestimated."

"Talent sometimes doesn't represent everything. Even if that Han Yitian is also able to open an Earth Grade Life Sea, if his luck is lacking and he didn't manage to obtain one of the Tianxuan Four Arts, his future achievements will definitely be inferior to Junior Sister Ning Xue."

It had been 20 days since the ancestral land opened. Aside from Bai Ningxue, more than half of the disciples had successfully opened their life seas and obtained their dao souls.

Of course, up until now, among the returning disciples, four of them had opened up a Mysterious grade Life Sea, while Bai Ningxue was the only one who had opened up a Life Sea and obtained the Nine Heavens Divine Crane Diagram. Her talent was extraordinary, and she seemed to faintly surpass Han Yitian.

While the crowd discussed with fervent expressions on their faces, in the air above the ancestral land's lake, a young man wearing a simple robe sat cross-legged.

Although he was above the lake, it was as though he existed in another space. No one could sense his presence, not even the two Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants.

The young man was the Royal Elder of Tianxuan Academy, Gu Shen Sang.

Ever since the appearance of the flickering supreme aura that day, he had been waiting here. He stared at the entrance of the Ancestral Land without blinking, carefully examining every single person that had returned. Then, he shook his head non-stop.

"Could it really be an illusion?"

Gu Shenwei let out a sigh with doubt in his eyes. Although he looked young, he was clearly an old monster that had lived for an unknown amount of time.

"..."

At this moment, Ye Hao appeared in the second layer of the Ancestral Land as a teleportation force swept through him.

There was a giant square in front of them that stretched out as far as the eye could see. On the top of the stone pillars were huge, blood-red stone pillars that required six or seven people to hold each other in their arms. At the top of the stone pillars was a square stone platform.

"Yi, it's this trash. He actually succeeded in establishing his life sea as well?"

"Hehe, this guy is really lucky. With his strength, he was able to open up his life sea and survive. He really should be burning incense."

"Hmph, even if he's able to open his life sea, he's still trash after all. Judging from his weak aura, he's obviously opened up the lowest level life sea."

As soon as Ye Hao appeared, some of the senior disciples who accompanied the newbies to the ancestral land also entered the second layer of the ancestral land and sat down below various stone pillars.

And at the top of the stone pillar behind them, there was a new disciple sitting in a cross-legged position. It was obvious that he was protecting him.

"Brother Ye, find a stone pillar and go up to sense the Dao Soul Summoning."

Not far away at the top of a stone pillar, Han Yitian seemed to have sensed Ye Hao's presence as he opened his eyes and reminded him. At the same time, he pointed at the dark sky.

Ye Hao nodded at him. After coldly glancing at the senior disciples, he jumped onto the nearest stone pillar and sat down.

"Is this the Dao Soul Realm?" Ye Hao muttered to himself.

Dao Soul Summoning, in simple terms, was the elementary form of a dao soul cultivation technique. After a cultivator obtained it, they would be able to speed up the rate at which they absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth during cultivation and quickly fill their life sea with Spiritual Energy.

At the same time, the Dao-Soul Summoning was also the most important thing for a cultivator to condense their Dao-Soul after reaching the Great Circle of Life Sea.

Forming a Dao soul wasn't something that could be done overnight; it required a gradual process. Starting from the early stage of Soul Sea and reaching the peak of Soul Sea, one could then use a cultivation method to form a Dao soul. If they succeeded, they would step into the Dao Soul stage.

Every single method was unique in nature. Once one chooses to cultivate, it is as good as laying down one's foundation. It is also because of this that one has to be extremely careful when choosing a Dao Soul Lamp.

The strength of a Dao Soul cultivation technique was directly related to a cultivator's battle prowess and future accomplishments. It would even have a crucial impact on one's future progress to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

"Tianxuan Academy's dao soul cultivation technique is truly frightening."

Looking at the dark sky, which was filled with raindrops, Ye Hao couldn't help but be speechless.

Of course, when Ye Hao was on his way to the Ancestral Land, he had heard Tang Yun mention that although there were many dao soul cultivation techniques in Tianxuan Academy, the strongest were the Dragon Crocodile Spirit Swallowing Scripture, the Nine Heavens Divine Crane Diagram, the Wind Lightning Scripture, and the Five Seal Arts of the Purple Clouds.

Four Arts of the Sky Profound, the first purple qi.

Amongst these four Dao-soul cultivation techniques, the Five Seal Arts of the Purple Clouds was definitely the strongest one. Even Tang Yun couldn't help but yearn for it. Unfortunately, in the entire Tianxuan Academy, there seemed to only be one person who could obtain it.

"Five Seal Arts of the Purple Clouds …"

No matter which of these four Dao Soul Cultivation Methods he had obtained, his future achievements would definitely not be low.

However, at this moment, Ye Hao couldn't help but think of something else that Tang Yun mentioned when she was talking about the Purple Clouds Five Seal.

Four Arts of the Sky Profound, the first purple qi.

Above the purple clouds, there was also the Sky Flame.

"Ancient Heavenly Flame Scripture …" Does this Dao Soul Method really exist? " Ye Hao's expression turned serious as his eyes lit up with a fiery light.

Tang Yun had told him that there had always been rumors regarding the Ancient Heavenly Flame Scripture in Tianxuan Academy. Even the Five Seal Arts of the Purple Clouds were unable to match up to it in terms of how powerful it was.

However, throughout the history of Tianxuan Academy, there had never been anyone who had obtained this scripture. Even the academy's old ancestor had never once brought it up in public.

It was because of this that everyone in the academy was still suspicious of the existence of this Ancient Heavenly Flame Scripture.

"Ancient Heavenly Flame Scripture, Heavenly Flame Body Training Art …" Ye Hao pondered for a moment and then shook his head with a smile, "Who cares if he exists or not, we'll know once we try."

After talking to himself, Ye Hao took a deep breath. He slowly closed his eyes and used his soul consciousness to scan the sky.

Tang Yun had told him before that in order to obtain the Dao Soul Realm, he could only rely on luck and no one could force him to do so.

This opportunity was either because the cultivator's body strength matched up with the Dao Soul Summoning, or because the cultivator's bloodline resonated with the Dao Soul Summoning, or it was because the cultivator's Life Force rank was too high and attracted the Dao Soul to come.

All in all, no one could say anything about the mystery behind it, but one thing was certain. The more powerful a cultivator's foundation was, the higher their talent, and the more powerful the Dao-Spirit Faction would be.

Just like that, with his eyes closed, time flew by.

During this time, quite a few new disciples excitedly flew down the pillars and into the transfer array at the edge of the square to leave the ancestral land.

However, although these new disciples had left, some of the older disciples who were partnered with them weren't in a hurry to leave.

The older disciples that were left behind were divided into two groups. They were members of the Liu Alliance and the Desolate Alliance.

At this moment, they glanced around the stone pillar. There were fewer and fewer people around. Then, they turned their gazes towards Ye Hao. Their eyes were filled with a mocking coldness, and their killing intent filled the air.
