Chapter 10: Immortal Seal

Ye Feng was shocked.

Truly shocked.

The seal within him was created by an Immortal Martial Master, and yet Ye Chen could see it!

"Father, your cultivation level is not just at the third level of Lingwu, right?" Ye Chen asked again.

At this moment, Ye Feng believed that Ye Chen could really see the seal inside him.

His expression became solemn, as if he had become a different person.

His eyes were deep, like stars, filled with strong determination, as well as reluctance, as if recalling many past events.

After a long time, Ye Feng gradually regained his composure and said seriously, "Chen'er, don't ask about this matter. Right now, it's not the time for you to know these things. Focus on your cultivation, that's the most important thing."

Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that his father also had secrets.

But the original owner of this body knew nothing about these things. He had lived in Tianyou City since he could remember, and in his memory, apart from his father, there were no other relatives.

He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have a sister, but he knew nothing about his mother.

And his father had never mentioned these things to him.

"Father, let me remove the seal for you," Ye Chen said.

"Remove the seal?" Ye Feng looked at Ye Chen in astonishment, then shook his head and smiled, "You can't do it."

An Immortal Martial Master seal was the strongest rule on the Canglan Continent. Such a seal could not be broken by someone at the Lingwu level, even if Ye Chen had obtained some stroke of luck, the realm of Immortal Martial Masters was too far beyond his reach.

"You won't know unless you try," Ye Chen said calmly.

Seeing Ye Chen's determination, Ye Feng didn't refuse.

Perhaps allowing him to feel the strength of the seal would also be a kind of inspiration for him to work harder in cultivation.

Fortunes come and go, but only through diligent practice can one continuously improve.

The two of them entered a secret chamber.

"Father, no matter what I do, don't resist," Ye Chen said solemnly to Ye Feng.

To remove the seal, it would be necessary to find the source of the seal, which would require Ye Chen's soul to invade Ye Feng's body. If anything went wrong, both of them would be harmed, or even irreversibly injured.

"Okay," Ye Feng responded seriously. He had no reason to distrust his son.

"Let's begin."

Ye Chen sat cross-legged, and a faint green light flashed from his brow, directly entering Ye Feng's brow.

Ye Feng's body trembled slightly, and a layer of green light emanated from his body, flowing continuously.

Ye Chen's soul power flowed continuously within Ye Feng's body, but his expression became increasingly solemn.

He couldn't find the source of the seal. He could only vaguely sense the power of the seal, but he couldn't lock onto it.

"To actually evade my detection... Could it be..."

Ye Chen seemed to realize something, and his soul went straight towards Ye Feng's mind, entering the sea of Ye Feng's consciousness.

This was Ye Feng's consciousness space, vast and boundless like an endless ocean.

"Father's consciousness is so powerful, he should at least have the power of the Elemental Realm," Ye Chen muttered to himself.

The Elemental Realm corresponded to the True Martial Realm on the Canglan Continent.

Sure enough, Ye Feng's realm had been sealed.

As Ye Chen navigated through Ye Feng's consciousness space, he suddenly came across a huge, pitch-black door in the vast space. It seemed to block Ye Feng's consciousness and seal everything off.

"A consciousness seal, just as I suspected," Ye Chen realized. 

Unable to locate the source of the seal within Ye Feng's body, it must be a consciousness seal.

A consciousness seal, also known as a soul seal, would seal off the powers of both martial arts and alchemy within the sealed individual. Not only would their powers be suppressed, but they would also be unable to make any progress for the rest of their lives.

In the cruel world of martial arts, cultivation was like rowing against the current. If one's strength stagnated while enemies continued to grow stronger, the result would be inevitable destruction.

This kind of seal was even more terrifying than direct confrontation. It could make people feel despair, preferring death over life.

"Who would be so malicious as to plant such a seal?" Ye Chen's expression turned cold.

Killing someone was one thing, but this kind of seal was too cruel.

In the world of martial arts, everyone had enemies. With a seal like this, enemies would seek them out, leading to certain death.

Every day would be lived in despair.

"Destroy!"

Ye Chen condensed his soul and charged towards the seal, intending to shatter the consciousness seal.

Boom!

Suddenly, a tremendous force erupted, seemingly intending to annihilate Ye Chen's soul.

"The power of the myriad!"

Ye Chen's expression changed drastically as his soul was covered, like a boat in the waves, on the verge of being destroyed within Ye Feng's consciousness.

At that moment, Ye Chen felt a flash of white light enveloping his soul, crazily fleeing.

In his mind, countless images flashed by. It seemed to be the soul memories of Ye Feng.

"Pfft!"

In the secret chamber, Ye Chen immediately spat out blood, his complexion pale and terrifying, his breath erratic and chaotic.

"Chen'er."

Ye Feng opened his eyes, his complexion as pale as snow, but compared to Ye Chen, he was much better, looking at Ye Chen with deep concern.

"I'm fine," Ye Chen waved his hand, indicating that he was okay. In his mind, countless images continued to flicker.

He saw a couple holding hands, separated by someone.

He saw Ye Feng getting angry, but being sealed by someone.

He saw two children forcibly separated.

...

Many images flashed crazily, coming from Ye Feng's soul memories. However, these images were disjointed and unable to connect.

After a long time, Ye Chen opened his eyes, his expression still grim. This made Ye Feng's heart sink.

"Father, who is the one who sealed you?" Ye Chen asked.

The power of the myriad was already the strongest realm under the Immortal Dao. On the Canglan Continent, it was the realm of the strongest. Ye Feng actually had a grudge with someone of this caliber?

Even he couldn't unravel a seal comparable to the power of the myriad.

Seeing that Ye Chen was okay, Ye Feng felt slightly relieved, shaking his head. "Now is not the time for you to know."

"Is it related to Mother, or is it related to Sister?" Ye Chen pressed on.

Ye Feng's expression trembled.

"I saw you with Mother, I saw Sister, I saw you being sealed by a powerful individual!" Ye Chen said.

Ye Feng's expression murmured, solemnly saying something he had never said before, "I don't know what you mean by the power of the myriad, but the one who sealed me is an expert in the Immortal Martial Realm. If you can reach that realm one day, I will tell you everything."

With that, Ye Feng prepared to leave.

He knew that Ye Chen couldn't unravel the seal. He only let him try to experience the power of the Immortal Martial Realm to inspire himself.

Ye Chen understood.

His father's silence was to protect him.

The Immortal Martial Realm, comparable to the power of the myriad, was indeed something that he couldn't handle at his current level.

"Father," Ye Chen called out, stopping Ye Feng. "Although you don't say it, I know. What I want to say is, do you want revenge? Do you want to find Mother honorably?"

Ye Feng's expression softened.

Did he want to?

Of course he did.

But with the seal on his body, he would never progress in his lifetime. How could he find her?
