Chapter 180 Another Ability of the Two Elements Heavenly Technique (5000)
"Wow, this little thing is almost the same as my martial soul, Black Rose. It can even move!"
Little Moon let out a soft cry.
She stared at the black rose vine in the ghost's hand, her red eyes filled with curiosity, and she couldn't resist moving closer to take a closer look.
Don't go over there.
Old Bron quickly grabbed her.
At this moment, the small black rose vine seemed to sense the soul power contained in Xiao Mingyue, and instantly bloomed a rose, trying to curse Xiao Mingyue.
"Hmph—, how dare they commit such a heinous act?"
The ghostly figure let out a cold snort, and its powerful soul force was instantly unleashed, directly shattering the rose.
Suddenly struck by the intense power of the ghostly soul, the black rose vines withered instantly.
"Grandpa, do you recognize this black rose vine?"
Ye Qifeng looked up at Old Bron and asked.
"Yes."
Old Brom nodded. "Its name is the same as Little Moon's plant martial soul; it's called Black Rose."
"This is the first time I've ever seen a real black rose."
"However, the villagers of our Puppet Village have lived near the Forbidden Curse Forest for generations, and they do have some records of the special creatures that live in the forest."
"The village has a forbidden and cursed forest creature catalog passed down through generations of village chiefs, and it is now in my hands. I inherited it from the previous village chief, my father."
As he spoke, Old Bloom pulled a small cloth bag from his pocket, wrapped with layers of small pieces of cloth of different colors.
Old Bronn opened it carefully.
Inside, a book with a yellowed cover was revealed.
The books were well protected, without a single crease or wrinkle.
On the cover, the book's title is embroidered with brightly colored threads in different colors.
Forbidden Curse Forest Creature Catalogue!
As Old Bloom took out the small cloth bag and opened it, he continued talking without stopping:
"When Xiao Mingyue awakened her martial soul Black Rose before, I vaguely felt that it was familiar, but I didn't have time to think of it the first time."
"After returning to the village, I looked through the biological atlas and found that there was indeed a record of the black rose in the text and pictures."
"The appearance of the Black Rose is somewhat different from Xiao Mingyue's martial soul Black Rose, but it is almost identical to the one in this person's hand."
Old Bloom first folded and packed away the small cloth that held the books, then opened the biological atlas, found the page containing information about the Black Rose, and carefully held it in both hands, handing it to Night Seven Wind:
"Sir, please take a look."
Without any formalities with Old Bloom, Ye Qifeng directly took the biological catalog from Old Bloom's hand, and then his gaze shifted slightly to look at the information recorded on it.
The ghost maintained its soul power output, controlling the palm-sized black rose, rendering it immobile. At this moment, it also stepped to Ye Qifeng's side, its gaze, hidden under its robes and hat, also focused on the biological catalog.
Little Mingyue ran to the other side of Ye Qifeng, stood on tiptoe, and stuck out her little head, her eyes full of curiosity.
However, she is currently illiterate and can only understand the pictures drawn on them, which are indeed very similar to her martial soul, Black Rose.
Ye Qifeng quickly read through the biological atlas, memorizing the information about the Black Rose.
Black Rose, a unique plant-type soul beast.
It enjoys capturing anything that possesses soul power, and feeds on soul power.
However, Black Rose does not crave life and blood, so it is not a bloodthirsty soul beast.
For ordinary people with little soul power, there is no threat.
But it's hard to say for beings with soul power.
For example, Soul Masters.
Although Black Rose is not bloodthirsty, it possesses the ability to inflict forbidden curses because it lives in the Forbidden Curse Forest.
While absorbing soul power, it also inflicts forbidden curses on the object whose soul power is absorbed.
In addition, the black rose has another characteristic.
It involves attaching its seeds to other life forms and spreading forbidden curses through its seeds.
Once the seed takes root and sprouts, it will quickly grow into a black rose the size of a palm.
That is, its daughter body.
When the offspring encounters a life form with soul power, it will bloom a rose and cast a curse.
A life cursed by the offspring will be bewitched and summoned to the mother's side, and will only be released by the mother after it has given up all of its soul power.
During this period, all life forms that have been cursed and bewitched have no memory.
After leaving, you'll forget everything that happened.
The forbidden curses cast by the offspring only have the effect of bewitching and summoning, and stripping away memories; they will not harm anyone's life.
The forbidden curse imposed by the mother is rather terrifying.
It will silently affect the fate of the Soul Master until they die in despair of misfortune.
If an ordinary Soul Master were to be afflicted by the forbidden curse of the mother, they would likely be doomed to death, just like the two Spirit Hall patrol officers who met with misfortune. They were first plagued by bad luck, which gradually worsened until they died unexpectedly.
Of course, the forbidden curse cast by Black Rose can only affect Soul Masters below the Soul Master level; it has little effect on Soul Masters above the Soul Master level.
Because the Black Rose is only a hundred-year-old soul beast, its maximum lifespan is no more than one thousand years.
Having learned all the information about the Black Rose, Ye Qifeng frowned and pondered:
"According to the biological atlas, Black Roses usually live deep within the Forbidden Cursed Forest. How could there be Black Rose offspring in Puppet Village?"
"Unless the mother black rose came to the edge of the forest, or a mother black rose was born on the edge of the forest, then it makes sense."
"Its seed must have been attached to the villagers of Puppet Village and carried out there. It eventually landed in the Spirit Hall branch in the village, took root, sprouted, and grew into offspring."
"There may be more than one such offspring, and it is possible that they have already spread to other places."
"Then we must kill the Black Rose Mother as soon as possible to prevent it from continuing to harm other Soul Masters in the Spirit Hall."
"After all, the Soul Masters of the Terra Spirit Hall are not of very high level, so they may find it difficult to resist the forbidden curse imposed by the Black Rose."
After thinking it through.
Ye Qifeng turned his head, stared at the black rose seed in the ghost's hand, and said:
"It can be confirmed that the culprit who cast the curse and killed the two Spirit Hall patrol officers is the Black Rose's mother."
"If I'm not mistaken, it's currently located in the outer area of the Forbidden Curse Forest."
Night Wind raised his head and looked at the ghost:
"Now that we've found the culprit..."
"Elder Ghost, let's go and take care of it."
"If we kill the mother, all the offspring will die together, and the problem will be solved."
"OK."
The ghostly, muffled voice nodded.
Having reviewed all the information about Black Rose, Ghost had already made some guesses, and His Highness's opinion coincided perfectly with his own.
Ye Qifeng looked at Xiao Mingyue, who was standing beside him with a bewildered yet curious expression, reached out and stroked her little head, and said with a soft smile:
"Little Mingyue, you come along too, and we'll help you hunt for your first spirit ring while we're at it."
"The Black Rose is also a plant-type soul beast containing a forbidden curse, which is a perfect match for your martial soul. Perhaps the age of the Black Rose mother plant is just right to be your soul ring."
"Okay, okay."
Little Mingyue immediately jumped up with joy.
She had long wanted to visit the Forbidden Curse Forest.
She wanted to go with Old Bronn and the villagers when they went into the forest to collect silk, but Old Bronn always said she was too young and the Forbidden Cursed Forest was too dangerous, so he never took her.
Old Bloom watched and listened from the side, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
He wanted to dissuade Xiao Mingyue from going on this dangerous journey, but he didn't know how to bring it up.
Now that Xiao Mingyue has joined the Spirit Hall, the path she will take in the future is that of a Soul Master.
Old Bronn wasn't a Soul Master, but he knew that to become an outstanding Soul Master, one had to go through all sorts of dangers.
He simply couldn't bring himself to speak up and stop them.
Ye Qifeng noticed the worried look on Old Brom's face. As he handed the biological catalog back to Old Brom, he said to him:
"Grandpa, you don't need to worry about Xiao Mingyue's safety. We're here to protect her. Please rest assured."
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng's words, the worry on Old Bronn's face immediately dissipated.
Indeed, with the steward present, Xiao Mingyue's safety should be assured.
Moreover, there is that black-robed gentleman present. Judging from his elusive and unpredictable methods, his skills must be quite remarkable, possibly even stronger than the steward's.
At this moment, Ye Qifeng calmly said:
"Grandpa, this time we will take care of the mother black rose, and your village can return to normal."
"At that time, I will also inform the Spirit Hall to send personnel back to the branch hall to guard it, and your puppet business can resume."
"Thank you, Steward."
Old Bronn was instantly excited upon hearing this and thanked him repeatedly.
The matter of the puppet village has been temporarily resolved.
Afterwards, Ye Qifeng and the other two bid farewell to Old Bron.
Upon reaching the village entrance, the ghosts used their soul power to carry them directly to the Forbidden Cursed Forest, several kilometers away.
Because he was carrying Xiao Mingyue and considering her adaptability, the ghost's flight speed was not particularly fast.
But it only took less than two minutes.
The three of them had already arrived at the entrance to the Forbidden Curse Forest.
Night Wind landed on the ground, gazing at the boundless forest before him.
On the outskirts of the forest, wisps of black mist floated. The deeper one went, the thicker the mist became, until it was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly. It was like a bottomless abyss, which made people feel fear and dare not take a step forward.
The ghostly figure held the black rose seed in its hand, carefully sensing the curse's call, which seemed even more real now. It spoke in a deep, resonant voice:
"Your Highness, the direction is correct; the mother plant of the Black Rose is inside."
"Um."
Ye Qifeng nodded calmly. "Let's go in."
He then took Xiao Mingyue's hand and stepped into the forest.
Experiencing flight for the first time, Xiao Mingyue's little head was still buzzing a bit.
Holding the mad bear, she was led by Ye Qifeng and obediently followed him into the forest.
As soon as she entered the forest, wisps of black mist enveloped Xiao Mingyue, washing over her and instantly bringing a sense of comfort that caused her to let out a soft moan.
"Mmm~~, that feels so good~~~"
Ye Qifeng, who had been paying close attention to Xiao Mingyue's condition, quickly understood the reason upon seeing this. Xiao Mingyue also contained the power of a forbidden curse, and this forest was actually a natural simulated cultivation environment for her.
So Ye Qifeng explained it to Xiao Mingyue:
"Little Mingyue, because your own martial soul contains the power of a forbidden curse, this place is extremely compatible with your martial soul and will greatly benefit your cultivation. It can be said to be a natural simulated cultivation ground."
"That's why you feel comfortable."
"So that's how it is."
Little Mingyue suddenly realized and said obediently.
More than half an hour later.
Guided by the Black Rose offspring, Ye Qifeng and his companions ventured approximately twenty kilometers into the outer perimeter of the forest.
Finally, the mother plant of the black rose was found in a mountain hollow.
It was a black rose with a main body that was over fifty meters long and as thick as an adult's arm.
Its trunk is surrounded by dense vines, each about the thickness of a finger.
Countless black buds, yet to bloom, grow on the vines.
Judging from the length of the main body, the mother plant of this black rose is over 500 years old.
Now that the mother of the Black Rose has been found, the offspring is no longer of any use. The ghostly and powerful soul force was instantly activated, and the offspring in his hand was instantly crushed into dust.
Sensing the approach of several Soul Masters with Soul Power, the Black Rose Mother, which feeds on Soul Power, was initially extremely excited, with its dense rose vines swaying incessantly.
At this moment, however, she suddenly sensed that her offspring had been killed, and the Black Rose mother was instantly enraged.
More than a dozen dark vines shot out instantly, heading towards the three of them, either entwining or whipping them.
Just as the ghost was about to make a move, Ye Qifeng stopped him.
"It's just a five-hundred-year-old soul beast. There's no need to trouble Elder Gui. Leave it to me."
Ye Qifeng smiled calmly, and four disguised spirit rings of yellow and purple rose from beneath his feet, with the first spirit ring lighting up at the same time.
First Soul Skill: Black Blade Dark Moon!
Ye Qifeng reached out and grabbed the black sword Dark Moon.
With a few swift flourishes, he severed the attacking vines.
Black sap gushed from the broken surface; it was the blood of the Black Rose mother plant.
hiss--
The Black Rose mother plant was injured and emitted a hoarse, tearing scream.
More dark vines swiftly attacked.
The black rose, which is only 500 years old, has very resilient vines.
But how could he possibly be a match for Ye Qifeng?
At this time, Ye Qifeng's cultivation had reached the Soul Master realm, level 46 in Soul Power.
Ye Qifeng remained unfazed, charging forward and slashing, hacking, and wielding his soul-powered blades to cut down all the attacking vines. Black sap splattered everywhere, yet not a drop of it touched his body.
The Black Rose Mother was in excruciating pain, her body twisting and contorting. In desperation, she finally unleashed her ultimate move, inflicting a large-scale forbidden curse.
Immediately, all the remaining black buds on the vines opened and bloomed, intending to kill the enemy with the power of a forbidden curse.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qifeng's Shadow Martial Soul appeared behind him, then expanded to a height of over four meters, emanating a misty black light, fully demonstrating the Shadow Martial Soul's ability to suppress abnormalities and suppress the power of all forbidden curses.
The pressure of the divine-level martial soul fell upon the Black Rose mother body, and as if suppressed by an emperor, the main body twisted and trembled incessantly.
Ye Qifeng strode forward, raising his hand to slash at all the vines and branches.
Not long after.
The black rose mother plant had no vines left, only a bare, twisting trunk.
Little Mingyue opened her mouth wide, forming a large circle, and stared at the scene in astonishment.
Wow, Brother Ye is so handsome and amazing!
Ye Qifeng casually waved away the Black Blade Dark Moon, withdrew his martial soul, knocked the Black Rose Mother unconscious with a palm strike, and pulled it out of the ground.
He then brought the blade to Xiao Mingyue, who looked like a little fangirl, took out a sharp blade, handed it to her, and said with a gentle smile:
"Little Mingyue, this is the first spirit ring you will absorb."
"It's suitable for you, although it's a little too old, so there's some risk involved in absorbing it, and it might be a bit painful."
"But don't worry, with Brother Ye here, I can guarantee you'll be alright."
"How about it? Want to give it a try?"
"Um!"
Xiao Mingyue nodded firmly and took the blade.
She didn't want to disappoint Brother Ye.
Brother Ye had already taught her that a Soul Master must kill a Soul Beast with their own hands in order to absorb its Soul Ring.
Little Moon gripped the sharp blade, her little hands trembling slightly, clearly a little scared. In the end, she took a deep breath, aimed at the vital spot of the Black Rose Mother, and bravely plunged it in.
Soon, a bright yellow soul ring rose from the Black Rose mother body.
"Well done."
Ye Qifeng first offered a word of praise, then gave instructions:
"Next, follow the method I taught you to summon your Martial Soul, then guide the Soul Ring onto the Martial Soul and meditate to absorb the energy contained within the Soul Ring."
Xiao Mingyue did as instructed and quickly entered a meditative state of absorption.
Because the Black Rose Mother Soul Ring has been around for over five hundred years, exceeding the limit that ordinary Soul Masters can withstand, even though Xiao Mingyue possesses the power of a forbidden curse and her Martial Soul is extremely compatible with the Black Rose Mother Soul Ring, her physical attributes are still not much different from ordinary people, and she still cannot withstand the impact of the Soul Ring's energy.
However, Ye Qifeng has the ability to solve this problem for her.
As the spirit ring was absorbed, a massive amount of energy surged into Xiao Mingyue's body, instantly filling her with its energy.
Not long after.
Little Mingyue quickly felt a strong impact, along with burning and scalding heat. Her body began to tremble violently, her little eyebrows furrowed instantly, and her face turned into one of pain.
Ye Qifeng quickly came up behind Xiao Mingyue and placed his hands on Xiao Mingyue's back.
Behind her, two martial souls, one light and one shadow, appeared simultaneously, expanding to over four meters tall. Black and white halos poured out, falling onto Xiao Mingyue and faintly forming a rotating yin-yang fish, helping to suppress and purify some of the violent energy.
at the same time.
Ye Qifeng activated his Yin-Yang Heavenly Art, pouring all the refined power into Xiao Mingyue's body. He used the balance and stability of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Art to help Xiao Mingyue absorb the soul ring energy and then convert it into her own soul power.
Xiao Mingyue immediately felt a sense of relief; her body stopped trembling, and her eyebrows relaxed.
The absorption of spirit ring energy was no longer so sluggish, but became smooth again. The energy rushing into the body was no longer violent, but became extremely calm.
Ghost stood to the side, watching Ye Qifeng's actions with a shocked and dumbfounded expression.
Ah, this, this
Could it be that His Highness the Holy Son's two divine-level martial souls can actually help people surpass their limits to absorb soul rings?
Unbeknownst to the ghost, this was actually an ability granted to Ye Qifeng by his memories of his past life—another power of the Two Elements Heavenly Technique.
The two elements are in balance!
