On this side of the stone platform were several inscriptions, carved with the unique Soul Characters of a Witch Soul Master. From a distance, they exuded a chilling aura.
"To obtain the Soul Seal, one must comprehend the True Understanding!"
Zhang Xuan quickly recognized the meaning of the inscriptions. Having acquired many Witch Soul cultivation techniques and manuals from Mo Hunsheng, he was already familiar with this unique script.
"So this is called a Soul Seal. Although I can't discern its level, it must be quite high..." His eyebrows shot up.
He couldn't tell the exact grade of the treasure, but the fact that it could stop him in his tracks suggested it was no less impressive than Ancient Sage Zi Yu's inkstone.
"I must take it. Otherwise, the Jiang Clan will gain a formidable advantage, and countless master teachers could perish because of it..." He let out a cold snort. Judging by Jiang Fangyou and the fair-skinned young man's attitudes, the more potent the treasure, the greater the harm it would inflict in a battle against master teachers. This hidden danger had to be eliminated preemptively.
"I'll try!"
He took a deep breath and strode towards the seal. After only two steps, sweat began pouring down his forehead. It felt as if countless tiny needles were pricking his soul, making it unbearable to continue.
"No, I can't continue. Even my Witch Soul won't be able to bear this..." He stopped and retreated several steps, moving out of the seal's oppressive aura. He had thought his current strength would allow him to walk past it easily, but it seemed he had overestimated himself.
"Since it says... that comprehension of the True Understanding will allow me to take it, then I'll comprehend the True Understanding first..." After much thought, finding no other way, Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth.
The Soul True Understanding was something he would eventually need to comprehend anyway, as it offered significant benefits to his strength. He had originally planned to collect all of the Jiang Clan's treasures and then study it after leaving, but now it seemed he had to learn it before he could proceed.
Standing still, he focused his mind on his Consciousness Ocean and, in the blink of an eye, retrieved the Heaven's Path cultivation technique related to the True Understanding. The knowledge slowly flowed, and Zhang Xuan comprehended it bit by bit.
Previously, his comprehension of the Spatial Lock True Understanding had been extremely fast because he had already studied the first three levels of the Heaven's Path Movement Art. Learning only the fourth level naturally didn't take long. His learning speed for the True Understanding of Time was noticeably slower, but it still didn't take too long. He already had a strong foundation in soul cultivation, and his Witch Soul was exceptionally powerful. After ten breaths, his eyes suddenly snapped open. Vortices spun continuously in his eyes, causing anyone who looked at them to feel dizzy.
After nearly ten breaths of arduous cultivation, he had fully comprehended the Jiang Clan's Soul True Understanding. In battle, his soul power would now become a formidable offensive method.
At the same time.
"The ancestors are vibrating, and the predecessors are submitting... Someone has comprehended the Soul True Understanding!"
Standing in the ancestral hall, observing the situation, Jiang Fangyou's face turned pale with excitement. "Excellent! This is excellent! I can't believe that girl comprehended it so quickly and succeeded in one go..." He had just sent his daughter to comprehend the True Understanding, and this phenomenon appeared. If it wasn't her, who else could it be?
"Heaven has been kind to our Jiang Clan. With the comprehension of the Soul True Understanding, her strength will surely increase dramatically. As long as she accepts the ancestral inheritance, even if chaos begins now, the Jiang Clan will be fully capable of protecting itself..." Jiang Fangyou's eyes sparkled, and he let out a sigh of relief. He had been tense previously, but now he finally relaxed. Comprehending the Soul Force True Understanding would grant control over the Soul Seal. Even without activating the family's Ancient Sage, they would be able to handle various contingencies.
"All of you, quickly go prepare for the clan leader's succession ceremony! I'm going to find Feifei now to see how she's doing!" Suppressing his overwhelming excitement, Jiang Fangyou instructed the elders behind him.
"Yes, Clan Leader!" The many elders retreated, each beaming with pride. The Zhang Clan had Zhang Xuan, and the Luo Clan had Luo Tianya. They had initially thought their Jiang Clan would fall behind, but to their surprise, Jiang Feifei had achieved a direct breakthrough... It seemed they were no worse off!
After giving his instructions, Jiang Fangyou hurried towards the treasure vault. In just over ten breaths, he entered the hall and immediately saw his daughter standing before the jade wall, still drenched in sweat and unable to approach it within ten meters.
"Feifei, what's wrong?" Stunned, Jiang Fangyou hastily asked. Under normal circumstances, once one comprehended the Soul True Understanding, the jade wall would no longer exert pressure, allowing them to approach it directly. So why did his daughter still seem unable to bear it?
"Don't worry, Father, I'll work hard to comprehend it as soon as possible..." Seeing that her father was still worried despite her repeated assurances and had come directly, Jiang Feifei felt a little embarrassed and slightly annoyed.
"You haven't comprehended it yet?" Jiang Fangyou's body swayed as if struck by lightning.
"I just entered here, and it hasn't even been ten minutes in total. How could I possibly comprehend it so quickly?" Jiang Feifei was speechless. Had her father gone mad? If she could comprehend it that quickly, she would have done so long ago, instead of dragging it out until now.
"This..." Jiang Fangyou's body swayed again, and he felt as if his scalp was exploding. He nearly fainted on the spot. He had thought his daughter was the one who had made the breakthrough and comprehended the True Understanding just now... If it wasn't her, then who could it be?
"What's wrong? What happened?" Seeing her father's expression change, Jiang Feifei also realized something was wrong. She retreated a few steps, moving out of the jade wall's oppressive range, and looked at him filled with doubt.
"After you left, I went to the ancestral hall. Just now, there was a phenomenon of 'ancestors vibrating and predecessors submitting.' I thought... you had made a breakthrough!"
"Not me... Could it be that, like Luo Tianya, a collateral branch member in the clan has made a breakthrough?" Understanding what had happened, Jiang Feifei was also somewhat stunned.
"A collateral branch... How could there be so many powerful collateral branch members!" Jiang Fangyou was somewhat incredulous. His brows furrowed as he struggled to understand what was going on. He shook his head helplessly and looked at the girl before him. "You were cultivating here just now. Did you notice anything unusual?"
"No!" Jiang Feifei shook her head. She had been fully focused on comprehending the Soul True Understanding and hadn't noticed anything abnormal.
"Someone who can comprehend a True Understanding that causes the ancestors to vibrate and predecessors to submit must possess the clan's bloodline; otherwise, it would be impossible... But to break through without the aid of the jade wall? How was that even possible?" Jiang Fangyou was baffled. Even the most core disciples of the family, using the jade wall, had spent countless years without being able to achieve it. Who could have done it directly, without him even knowing?
"Could it be... Oh no, come with me upstairs!" Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched as he recalled something. His body swayed, and he rushed straight upstairs.
Not knowing what he meant, Jiang Feifei followed closely. In the blink of an eye, they reached the second floor. After just one glance, Jiang Fangyou's face turned ashen. The room, which had previously been filled with treasures, was now empty. Not even a speck of dust could be found.
"Someone came to steal! From the looks of it, they just finished and might not have escaped yet. Quickly activate the family's seal!" His fists clenched tightly.
