Chapter 385 Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldiers
Upon hearing the voice of the Xuan Snake Spirit, Lin Fei's expression shifted, and he asked telepathically in his mind, "How is it? Senior, have you noticed something?"
The spirit of the black serpent said in a muffled voice, "If I'm not mistaken, the stele belonging to the Heavenly Dao among the Six Paths of Reincarnation is currently in the Yuan family of Jiangling!"
"What?" Upon hearing the words of the Xuan Snake Spirit, Lin Fei's expression changed—he never expected that one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Stone Tablets would be in the Yuan family.
Moreover, it's the Heavenly Dao Stele, the first of the Six Paths of Reincarnation! The Yuan family of Jiangling is truly hiding their true strength!
The spirit of the Xuan Snake's next words surprised Lin Fei even more: "I originally thought that the Heavenly Dao Stele, the head of the Six Paths, should be carried by the Emperor himself. I didn't expect it to appear here. Moreover, it seems that the Yuan family also has capable people. Even the restrictions that the Emperor set in the Reincarnation Stele have been broken. I'm afraid that the power of the Reincarnation Origin has also been obtained by the Yuan family."
"What? The power of reincarnation has already been obtained by the Yuan family?" Lin Fei was truly shocked at this moment.
If it were merely the Yuan family acquiring the Reincarnation Stone Tablet, Lin Fei would be somewhat surprised, but not so shocked. After all, the Yuan family of Jiangling was one of the three great families of the Southern Tang Kingdom, possessing the lineage of several ancient sages. It wouldn't be unacceptable for them to be fortunate enough to obtain a Reincarnation Stone Tablet.
However, the fact that even the power of the origin of reincarnation was obtained by the Yuan family truly shocked Lin Fei. It should be noted that none of the previous members of the Reincarnation Stele, whether it was the Jade Emperor Sect or the Thunder Sound Temple, had been able to obtain the power of the origin of reincarnation within it.
Although the Yuan family possesses the lineage of several ancient sages, they are by no means comparable to behemoth sects like the Jade Emperor Sect or the Thunderclap Temple. It's unexpected that they have such ability to break the restrictions left by the True Martial Emperor and obtain the power of reincarnation's origin from the Reincarnation Stele.
The person who could possess such abilities must be the ancestor of the Yuan family of Jiangling, the renowned sage of mathematics in ancient times—Yuan Tiangang.
The spirit of the Xuan Snake chuckled in Lin Fei's mind, saying, "However, this power of reincarnation is not so easy to obtain. The Six Paths of Reincarnation were invaded by demonic energy in ancient times, and this power of reincarnation contains the heaviest amount of demonic energy. Your ability to remain unaffected by the demonic energy is entirely due to the Six Paths Avatar Technique personally passed down by the Emperor. Although the Yuan family has capable individuals who broke the restrictions left by the Emperor and obtained the power of reincarnation, they lack the Six Paths Avatar Technique to neutralize the demonic energy it contains. It's likely that the Yuan family has been cursed for generations because of the demonic energy contained within the power of reincarnation."
The Yuan family of Jiangling has had its patriarchs cursed by the heavens for generations, with a lifespan of no more than fifty years. Even after death, they would turn into their current state, and the reason for this is quite surprising.
Lin Fei asked Yuan Daotong, "Brother Yuan, has your Yuan family ever passed down a stone tablet? It is inscribed with the names of the two sons of 'Dangmo'. If we can find that stone tablet, perhaps there is a way to break the curse on your Yuan family."
Upon hearing Lin Fei's question, Yuan Daotong's expression visibly changed. After hesitating for a few moments, he finally asked, "Your Majesty, my Yuan family does indeed have a stone tablet inscribed with the words 'Demon Slayer' passed down through generations. However, I have only seen that stone tablet in records; I have never seen it in person. How did you know this?"
Lin Fei naturally wouldn't tell Yuan Daotong about the Reincarnation Stele. It wasn't that he didn't trust Yuan Daotong, but rather that the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better. Lin Fei simply replied, "There are indeed hidden reasons behind this, which I cannot disclose to others. Brother Yuan, you only need to know that I only wanted to break the curse that has plagued the Yuan family for generations, and I have no intention of harming the Yuan family whatsoever."
“Of course I trust Your Majesty.” Yuan Daotong pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, “Your Majesty, please come with me.”
……
Yuan Daotong led Lin Fei forward, passing through the places where the heads of the Yuan family had lived for generations, and then they arrived at the outside of a cave.
The entrance to the cave had been sealed off by a huge rock, with two large, blood-red characters written on it: "Do Not Enter!"
Yuan Daotong said to Lin Fei, "The stone tablet Your Majesty mentioned should be inside this cave. Inside this cave is the remains of my Yuan family's ancestor, one of the ancient sages. The ancestor once decreed that no descendant of the Yuan family, even the head of the family, should open the door to this cave. I have only seen the stone tablet Your Majesty mentioned in the family records. It was kept in this cave along with the ancestor's remains."
The Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet from the Six Paths of Reincarnation was indeed obtained by the Yuan family, and it was placed together with the remains of the Yuan family's ancestor, the ancient sage Yuan Tiangang.
Lin Fei asked Yuan Daotong, "Brother Yuan, could you open the stone door and allow me to enter?"
“Since I have brought Your Majesty here, I naturally intend to let Your Majesty go inside.” Yuan Daotong nodded and said, “Although my Yuan family has ancestral rules that even the head of the Yuan family is not allowed to enter this cave, my Yuan family is now facing a life-or-death situation. If Your Majesty can avert disaster for my Yuan family, I, Yuan, am willing to violate ancestral rules and be cursed by my ancestors in the afterlife!”
Lin Fei nodded and said, "Brother Yuan, rest assured, although I dare not say that I am 100% sure, I have at least a 70% chance of breaking the curse that the Yuan family has suffered for generations."
Before arriving here, Lin Fei had already communicated with the spirit of the Xuan Snake in his mind.
The reason why the Yuan family's successive patriarchs have fallen into such a predicament is mostly due to the demonic energy contained within the power of reincarnation. Now that the demonic energy is deeply rooted, dispelling it is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even if Lin Fei obtains the power of reincarnation, he will probably find it difficult to dispel the demonic energy contained within the bodies of the Yuan family's successive patriarchs.
Although he couldn't save the Yuan family patriarchs whose bodies were already possessed by demonic energy, if Lin Fei obtained the power of the Reincarnation Origin, he could use it to control the remains of the Yuan family patriarchs, at least preventing them from becoming monsters who only knew how to kill. They would become puppets like Lin Fei, referred to by the Xuan Snake Spirit as "Heavenly Ghost Soldiers."
Moreover, once Lin Fei obtains the power of the origin of reincarnation, he can prevent this curse from spreading to the next generation.
This is the best possible outcome for the Yuan family.
“A 70% chance is enough. It’s better than me waiting to die.” Yuan Daotong also believed that even a 70% chance was enough to give it a shot.
Yuan Daotong took out a jade tablet and placed it in a recessed corner of the stone door in front of him. As soon as the jade tablet was placed in, the stone door immediately responded.
The stone door made a rumbling sound and slowly opened, revealing a deep and dark cave entrance.
