The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 827 - 335: Holy Spirit Marks

"The Netherworld Judge?"

Ye Tianzi’s fiddling with the blood snake at his fingertips abruptly stopped.

The moment Ye Hanjun’s voice fell, the sea of blood buzzed, and Corpse Mountain rumbled.

An unusual flow of qi brought the overwhelming pressure of a supreme higher-up.

"Mmm, it’s undoubtedly true, indeed a pioneering authority."

"Even the Great Dao is remembering the form of authority’s display. In the future, if someone awakens the same authority as you, they will lack the qualification to name it themselves. The only words that will come to mind are ’The Netherworld Judge.’

Ye Hanjun nodded slightly, having heard of similar experiences, and was not surprised.

Of course, at this moment, he felt deeply moved and, gazing into the void, he muttered to himself:

"Ye Qiyu was the 70th Young Emperor. Following him, I would be the 71st."

"Oh, ancestor above, Ye Clan’s descendant, Ye Hanjun, having ascended in rank, has become one of the leaders of the younger generation. He must bear the clan’s fate, safeguard our people, and ensure our continuous survival..."

"Twelve million years and only 71 Young Emperors?"

Ye Tianzi blinked and hummed:

"That number, sloppy, barely acceptable, just passable."

"Enough, enough, it’s not something I should worry about. Next, let’s handle the important matters."

"But speak freely, senior."

Ye Hanjun put away the Netherworld, solemnly Listening.

Ye Tianzi had emphasized more than once that early job advancement was just incidental; there was a more important mission to be completed.

"When I awakened, I had set the grand tomb to open, which will continue for a hundred years."

"That means this is the maximum operational time. With a little calculation, we have about eighty years left."

Ye Tianzi, feet not touching the ground, constantly floating in mid-air, always looked down at Ye Hanjun’s face from a bird’s-eye view:

"With the remaining time, you and this little girl are not allowed to go anywhere else—you must stay here."

"A major catastrophe is approaching, and Ye Shura’s preventative countermeasures need to be activated. For example, the ’Holy Spirit Marks,’ you two must act as vessels, bearing their power."

"Holy Spirit Marks? What are those?"

Ye Liuying slowly walked up beside Ye Hanjun, standing shoulder to shoulder, less than half a meter apart.

She was curious because she had never heard this name before and did not know what it referred to.

But correlating it with Holy Spirit, and given that this place is the Hall of the Holy Spirit, it was unlikely to be simple or easy.

"It’s the strongest strike of the Holy Saint Embryo."

Ye Tianzi casually explained:

"When Ye Shura was still alive, the clan’s guardian Holy Spirits numbered over a hundred, each possessing divine powers."

"Moreover, there was an uncountable number of vassals, and if you were to count them as well, Holy Saint Embryo had at least two to three hundred in number."

"That was the clan’s most glorious period, which you didn’t experience, undoubtedly a regret."

"But no matter, next, you will peer into the river of time and witness the Ye Clan’s most dominant era."

Ye Tianzi turned around, facing Corpse Mountain, and said languidly:

"See these crystal coffins here?"

"Inside, there indeed are living Holy Saint Embryos."

"Unfortunately, their condition is not very good, and even I can’t make them emerge prematurely."

"The rest are mere illusions."

"They appear to have contours, but in reality, they are used to seal Skills, carving those Holy Spirits’ strongest strike while alive."

"So there are living ones..."

Ye Liuying wrinkled her nose, showing an ’as expected’ expression.

In these ten years, besides practicing, she had also been secretly observing in her spare time.

However, the material of the crystal coffins was too special, and the residual aura was immensely terrifying.

She could only speculate, never obtaining a real answer.

She wanted to ask Ye Tianzi, but Ye Tianzi played dead most of the time and would not talk to her unless Ye Hanjun awoke.

"The strongest strike of the Holy Saint Embryo... Did the ancestor leave this to combat the enemy?"

"Indeed," Ye Tianzi said with a faint smile, "Crown Rank and Divine Enthronement’s techniques have always been profound."

"Using ancient methods and secret treasures, such seals can be achieved."

"However, although the Marks are left, activating them is another problem."

"This is also the core reason I summoned you here. It doesn’t matter much for you, girl, but this boy, being the chosen one and having Dual Authority, by bearing these Marks and acting as the container for the Holy Spirits, he will definitely shield the clan from some of the catastrophe at critical moments."

Ye Hanjun was astonished, "Senior means... these Holy Spirit Marks need to be sealed inside of me?"

"No, mainly within the bodies of the Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits."

Ye Tianzi gave Ye Hanjun a disdainful glance:

"A human body, even if it holds an S-rank authority, essentially still differs from that of Fond Spirits."

"I will try to select the nature fitting Holy Spirit Marks to be sealed into your Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits."

"The Chimera’s offspring... Hmm, it’s also fortunate to have come here, let’s seal that one too."

"In any case, my only request is that the more Marks you bring out of the grand tomb, the better."

"Only then will you be qualified to stand on the battlefield of the Supreme Level, have a chance to turn the tide, rather than feel helpless."

"If that’s the case, why not call Ye Qiyu, Ye Mochou, and Ye Nishang as well?" Ye Liuying asked, puzzled:

"The number of Marks seems to be extremely many; the more people, the greater the strength, and working together to bring them out would be more beneficial for the clan, wouldn’t it?"

"If it were that easy, that would be great."

Ye Tianzi snorted, said irritably:

"Do you think bringing people here is a simple task?"
