Chapter 384 Soul-Stabilizing Array
Chapter 384 Soul-Fixing Array
Black mist emanated from the heads of the Yuan family's past patriarchs. Among them, the black mist above the head of Yuan Daotong's father, the previous patriarch Yuan Yuanshan, was the most intense.
The black mist emanating from Yuan Yuanshan's head was almost as thick as an adult man's thigh, while the black mist emanating from the heads of the other family heads was only as thick as an arm.
The black mist emanating from the heads of the Yuan family's past patriarchs seemed to be attracted by the talisman drawn by Yuan Daotong, and it surged toward Yuan Daotong.
In an instant, the black energy surging from the heads of the Yuan family's past patriarchs entered the talisman drawn by Yuan Daotong with his true energy.
The talisman, which had originally radiated golden light, turned pitch black in an instant.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yuan Daotong swung his hand back and shouted in a low voice, "Withdraw!"
The true energy talisman, which had turned completely black, transformed into several beams of black light that shot directly into Yuan Daotong's body.
"Pfft!" Yuan Daotong suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, his face turned pale, his breath weakened, and even his body became swaying.
Lin Fei quickly caught Yuan Daotong, afraid that he would fall down, and asked with concern, "Brother Yuan, are you alright?"
It's likely that Yuan Daotong's current state is due to absorbing a large amount of that black energy. Although Lin Fei doesn't know exactly what that black energy is, he's certain it's a substance extremely harmful to the human body.
"It's alright, he won't die for now!" Yuan Daotong waved his hand with a wry smile: "My father used forbidden techniques to forcibly defy fate and extend his lifespan before he died. That's why his body has undergone changes, and recently it has even resonated with the bodies of the previous patriarchs. Even this Soul-Stabilizing Array seems to be unable to suppress the bodies of the previous patriarchs."
At this point, Yuan Daotong's gaze hardened: "I returned prepared this time. I intend to transfer the abnormally violent energy within my father's body into my own through this Soul-Stabilizing Array and my Yuan family's secret technique, thereby stabilizing the entire Soul-Stabilizing Array. Even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate!"
Yuan Yuanshan, who was known as the "Heavenly Eye Observer" and could see through the secrets of heaven, probably never imagined that his remains would have such a great impact on the entire Yuan family, and even potentially threaten the life of his son.
Lin Fei frowned and asked, "Isn't there any way to dispose of the remains of the Yuan family's past patriarchs? Does Brother Yuan really have to sacrifice his own life?"
“I’m afraid there’s no way.” Yuan Daotong shook his head in despair: “The remains of the heads of my Yuan family have now become monsters of the Heavenly Dao, impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire. They cannot be damaged. If they are not restrained by this Soul-Stabilizing Array, they will immediately lose control and kill everything in sight that shows signs of life.”
Yuan Daotong gave a wry smile and said, "The best way is for me to absorb the violent energy within these family members and bind myself to this pillar, so that the entire Soul-Stabilizing Array can be stabilized again."
Lin Fei hadn't expected the situation to have deteriorated to this point, requiring Yuan Daotong to sacrifice his own life. Lin Fei was speechless for a moment, unsure what to say. After all, he knew nothing about the Soul-Stabilizing Array or the changes that had occurred to the remains of the Yuan family's past patriarchs.
He probably can't solve the problem that even the Yuan family has been unable to resolve for so many years.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out in Lin Fei's mind: "Huh, a Soul-Stabilizing Array? I never thought there would still be someone in this world who knows how to use this array!"
The voice that suddenly rang in his mind was all too familiar to Lin Fei; it was the voice of the Xuan Snake Spirit.
Originally, after regaining their original forms, the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle were in seclusion, completely eliminating any hidden dangers within their bodies. However, at this moment, the spirit of the Xuan Snake suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing the voice of the Xuan Snake Spirit, Lin Fei couldn't help but ask telepathically in his mind, "Senior, do you recognize this formation? Is there any way to solve the current problem?"
As an ancient mythical beast and a powerful subordinate of the True Martial Emperor, the spirit of the Xuan Snake possesses a vision and knowledge far beyond what Lin Fei can match. Since the Xuan Snake can recognize the Soul-Stabilizing Array before them, it might actually have a way to resolve the difficulties Yuan Daotong faces.
After all, Yuan Daotong was not only the Celestial Master of the Southern Tang Kingdom, but he was also a friend of Lin Fei. If it weren't for a last resort, Lin Fei wouldn't want to watch Yuan Daotong walk down a dead end.
Upon hearing Lin Fei's question, Xuan She remained silent for a moment before saying, "This Soul-Stabilizing Array was quite famous in ancient times. It was an array set up by King Qin Guang, the head of the Ten Kings of Hell, in front of the Yama Palace to stabilize the wronged souls. I never thought it would survive to this day."
Unexpectedly, this Soul-Stabilizing Array is related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, specifically the array used by King Qin Guang of the Yama Palace within the Six Paths of Reincarnation. No wonder the spirit of the Black Serpent suddenly awakened from its seclusion; it must have sensed the Soul-Stabilizing Array related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which is why it suddenly spoke.
The spirit of the black serpent continued, "These fellows seem somewhat familiar to me. Come closer and let me observe them carefully!"
The black snake was referring to the Yuan family heads who were chained to the pillars with black iron chains.
Lin Fei was unsure if this would offend the Yuan family, so he asked Yuan Daotong, "Brother Yuan, may I examine the remains of the Yuan family's past patriarchs? Perhaps I can find a solution there."
The Yuan family has been trying for so many years, yet they still can't solve this Heavenly Curse. Although Lin Fei is exceptionally talented, he has only cultivated for a limited time, and his vision and knowledge cannot possibly be superior to those of the Yuan family, which has been passed down since ancient times. Yuan Daotong held little hope. Since things had come to this, he could only try anything, so he nodded and said, "I have just absorbed a round of the Heavenly Dao's violent power. For the time being, the remains of my father and the past patriarchs will not show any unusual activity. Your Majesty, please observe them as you see fit."
Lin Fei nodded and walked towards the first pillar among the remains, that of Yuan Daotong's father, Yuan Yuanshan. Among the many heads of the Yuan family, only Yuan Yuanshan possessed the most violent energy, which was also the root cause of the unusual movements in the remains of many family heads. If any clues could be gleaned from these remains, Yuan Yuanshan's remains were undoubtedly the most likely.
Of course, Lin Fei couldn't see the secret behind it and could only wait for the spirit of the Xuan Snake to observe it first.
After a long while, the voice of the Xuan Snake Spirit rang in Lin Fei's mind again: "Just as I thought! The Yuan family of Jiangling does have some skill!"
