Ye Ling's soul power slowly permeated Ye Qiao's soul, searching for its depths.
Ye Qiao, with her eyes tightly shut, felt a cool, tingling sensation all over her body, a peculiar and wonderful feeling.
Ye Ling transmitted his voice to Ye Qiao, "Next, I will touch the core of your soul. At that moment, you will feel an extreme sense of danger and instinctively resist. Remember to trust my soul power, accept it to the maximum extent, and do not reject it."
"Mmm..."
Ye Qiao inexplicably began to feel nervous. She responded softly, clenching her fists tightly, waiting for Ye Ling's soul power to delve deeper.
As Ye Ling's soul power reached the deepest space of Ye Qiao's soul, she instantly felt an extreme threat. She instinctively wanted to reject the soul power that touched the very foundation of her soul. However, she recalled Ye Ling's previous words and forcefully suppressed the urge to resist, allowing Ye Ling's soul power to enter.
The human-shaped spiritual entity hidden in the depths of Ye Qiao's soul was also facing the same situation. However, unlike Ye Qiao, the human-shaped spiritual entity could not place absolute trust in Ye Ling. When Ye Ling's soul power touched the deepest space of its soul, it instinctively resisted, attempting to repel Ye Ling's soul power.
Sensing the obstruction from the human-shaped spiritual entity, Ye Ling frowned. He then strengthened his soul power output, forcibly breaking through the spiritual defense of the human-shaped spiritual entity and entering the deepest space of its soul.
Its self-constructed spiritual defense breached, the human-shaped spiritual entity felt unimaginable pain and began to scream miserably within Ye Qiao's soul, even frightening Ye Qiao.
Ye Ling said to the human-shaped spiritual entity, "I told you not to resist my soul power. This time, you can still maintain your sanity. Next, when I contact your soul core, if you resist my soul power again, I will have to erase you to protect Ye Qiao's soul."
The human-shaped spiritual entity, enduring the pain, mustered its spirit and said, "I-I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't make another mistake."
Ye Ling reminded, "Pull yourself together, this is the main event."
"Yes..."
Ye Qiao and the human-shaped spiritual entity responded in unison. Then, both held their breath, carefully sensing Ye Ling's soul power, suppressing their fear, and offering no further resistance.
This time, the human-shaped spiritual entity did not dare to resist Ye Ling's soul power again, allowing it to permeate the depths of its soul and contact its soul core.
Soon, Ye Ling found their soul cores in the deep space of their souls. He discovered that their soul cores already showed signs of fusion, and a peculiar rune was inscribed around the periphery of both soul cores.
"Is it a rune that sealed their memories?"
Ye Ling noticed the presence of runes in the depths of Ye Qiao's and the human-shaped spiritual entity's souls. He frowned slightly and attempted to touch the runes in the depths of their souls.
Logically, Ye Ling possessed the "Ancient Spiritual Tome," which recorded all runes. Regardless of the type of rune seal, Ye Ling could find a solution in the "Ancient Spiritual Tome." However, upon touching the rune that sealed Ye Qiao and the human-shaped spiritual entity, he discovered that the "Ancient Spiritual Tome" contained no record of this rune!
"A new rune?"
Discovering a rune not recorded in the "Ancient Spiritual Tome," Ye Ling was greatly astonished. He immediately asked Zhen Hun, who was hidden within his body, "Zhen Hun, I've found a rune not recorded in the 'Ancient Spiritual Tome.' Is the book you gave me incomplete?"
Zhen Hun quickly responded, "Impossible. The 'Ancient Spiritual Tome' I gave you is the complete version, containing all usable runes. Where did you find that rune? Let me see."
Ye Ling: "It's in the depths of Ye Qiao's soul. I'll use my soul power to guide you, and you can follow."
"Alright! Let me take a look!" Zhen Hun unhesitatingly separated a wisp of its soul and followed Ye Ling's soul power into the deep space of Ye Qiao's soul. It saw the two soul cores about to fuse and the rune on the surface of their soul cores.
Ye Ling said, "This should be a rune, right? I can sense the same aura from it as other runes, but I can't understand what it means."
Zhen Hun carefully examined the rune and said solemnly, "It is indeed a rune... but I haven't seen this rune before either. Could it be a newly evolved script? How did it appear? It's truly novel."
Ye Ling explained, "Ye Qiao was previously receiving the Creation God's inheritance from the depths of the Dragon Tribe's underground. After that inheritance ended, her memories disappeared. This rune should have come from there."
Zhen Hun questioned, "That's not right... Didn't you absorb all the inheritances from that place? How could this girl be receiving an inheritance there?"
"What do you mean?" Hearing Zhen Hun's words, Ye Ling suddenly felt something was amiss and asked solemnly.
Zhen Hun said, "Although there are many inheritances left by the Master, each inheritance can only have one inheritor. You've already absorbed ten inner demons from the Dragon Tribe, making you the sole inheritor of that inheritance. How could this girl be receiving an inheritance there?"
Ye Ling was completely shocked and quickly said, "An inheritance can only have one inheritor? Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
Zhen Hun rolled its eyes and said, "Isn't this common knowledge? If an inheritance could be inherited by multiple people, would those extraterrestrial beings go to such lengths to capture inheritors like you?"
"This is bad... Someone actually set up another trial outside the Creation God's inheritance. Who did this?" After learning the nature of the inheritance from Zhen Hun, Ye Ling immediately realized the severity of the situation.
When Ye Qiao was trapped in the trial before, Ye Ling had always assumed she was receiving the Creation God's inheritance, so he hadn't paid much attention to her progress.
But from the current perspective, he had perfectly inherited the inheritance from the Dragon Tribe. The trial Ye Qiao experienced was not the Creation God's inheritance at all, but a trap set by something else!
Zhen Hun said quickly, "Don't rush. Although I don't recognize that new rune, based on my experience, this rune is not a seal, but a key to unlocking some seal."
"A key to unlocking some seal?" Ye Ling was stunned. He observed the rune again carefully and found that its nature was indeed similar to those runes in the "Ancient Spiritual Tome" that had the property of unlocking seals.
Zhen Hun continued, "I think this girl was likely transformed into a key to unlock a certain seal by someone there. To unlock this rune, we need to find the 'main seal' rune first."
"The 'main seal' rune..."
Ye Ling murmured the phrase. His heart suddenly stirred, and he looked at Yun Dandan, who was still absorbing the blood and qi of the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers not far away, and said, "The other rune, could it be in her soul?"
