That day, Ye Lingling awakened her Nine Heart Sea棠 as she wished.
However, from that day on, her grandmother never appeared before her again.
Soul Transmission Ritual.
At the funeral the next day, Ye Lingling learned about this information for the first time from her mother.
This ritual was discovered by chance during research aimed at resolving the curse of the Nine Heart Sea棠.
Although this formation could not solve the martial soul's curse, they discovered that it could be used to change the random awakening of the Nine Heart Sea棠 into a designated awakening.
Its only drawback was that the awakened descendants had to witness the death of the previous generation at close range.
Of course, this drawback could be artificially concealed, but the proud Ye family believed that concealing death was the greatest blasphemy against life.
Therefore, from the moment the formation was created, each new awakened member of the Ye family would immediately face the death of a loved one upon obtaining the Nine Heart Sea棠.
Admittedly, it was heartbreaking to subject a small child to such pain.
But the state of mind of those previous generation awakeners who voluntarily sacrificed themselves was beyond the imagination of others.
After learning the cruel truth, Ye Lingling felt as if a corner of her soul was missing.
Self-blame, guilt.
Anger, dissatisfaction.
Helplessness, unwillingness.
From a young age, her small heart was filled with a great deal of emotion.
She still emerged from that isolation.
In the process, she made friends and experienced wonderful things.
Looking back now, she found it incredible what had supported her through such a painful and long journey.
"Grandma will always love you unconditionally.
The future will not change.
The Nine Heart Sea棠 is a symbol of the continuation of life!"
As her memories reached the pain she had always avoided, her grandmother's voice naturally echoed in her mind.
Silent tears flowed from Ye Lingling's soul.
Her sinking soul struggled violently.
"No, I am not alone. I carry the will and soul of the Ye family's ancestors.
Grandma's life continues in me, and I cannot give up here."
At the critical moment of life and death, Ye Lingling finally seemed to understand the true meaning her grandmother wanted to convey to her.
At the same time, she understood what had sustained her through those difficult years.
"Grandma, don't worry, I'm fine now.
The Ye family's curse has been lifted, and the Ye family, and my life, will be completely renewed.
Just watch me from there, watch how I live happily."
As if hearing her call, the Nine Heart Sea棠 martial soul suspended outside her body suddenly erupted with intense spiritual fluctuations.
The moment this spiritual fluctuation appeared, it forcefully suppressed the violent aura of the soul ring.
At the same time, the spiritual fluctuation from the martial soul resonated with Ye Lingling's spirit in an extremely gentle way.
Her soul, deep in the dark water, sensed the calls from countless people.
She instinctively swam in the direction of the sound, but the more she struggled and the closer she got, the more pain appeared on her soul.
But this time, she was not fighting alone, and pain could not be a reason to give up.
Enduring the increasing pain, her soul continued to move towards the light-filled surface of the water.
In this process, her transparent soul began to reveal a pinkish-white glow from its depths.
This glow became brighter and brighter as her altitude increased and her pain intensified, gradually covering her entire soul.
However, it wasn't over yet.
Deep within the pinkish-white soul, a brilliant golden light was brewing.
When it appeared in her soul, a faint golden glow appeared on the Nine Heart Sea棠 outside.
Qi Feng, who had been paying attention to Ye Lingling, noticed that Ye Lingling's screams had turned into roars.
He never thought his daughter would have such a strong will, and even more unimaginable was the change in the Nine Heart Sea棠.
From the golden light released by the Nine Heart Sea棠, he felt the martial soul pressure from a higher level martial soul.
"What exactly is going on?"
Qi Feng looked at Quan Yi, wanting to understand the situation, but he didn't hear an answer, only Quan Yi's dragon eyes full of essence and an excited smile.
"This is truly beyond my imagination."
The golden light of the Nine Heart Sea棠 continued to spread, and the entire flower gradually began to release a fused pink-golden light.
This color and aura were exactly the same as the Nine Heart Sea棠 in Quan Yi's hand.
Moreover, without using the Dragon Eye, Quan Yi's Ultimate Wood first felt the healing laws connected to each other quietly increasing.
"This is the martial soul's second awakening, she's about to wake up."
Ye Lingling's soul was like a piece of forging material being hammered, and the external pain became the power for her to transform.
Seeing the golden light in front of her, she struggled to reach out her arms and rushed out of the dark water in one fell swoop.
Like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, her soul bloomed with the light of transformation.
The pink-golden soul instantly dyed the entire spiritual space, and the golden stamen energy above the sea of spirit naturally and actively merged into it.
Originally, they were only passively repairing damaged cracks, but the scene just now was more like surrendering at the feet of the pink-golden light, without the previous arrogance.
The spread of the pink-golden light immediately attracted the remnant spirit of the Mandala Flower in the same space.
However, the bell-shaped remnant spirit, which had been extremely presumptuous, trembled in fear at the moment it saw the pink-golden light.
Moreover, the soul shock wave it released was quietly weakened under the illumination of the light.
Clearly, its spiritual power was stronger, but the noble royal aura released by the soul suppressed it.
Ye Lingling stared at the remnant spirit indifferently, her calm eyes revealing her unwavering will and determination.
She didn't know how to effectively use her spiritual power, but it didn't matter, as long as she knew that the light on her body extremely restrained the opponent.
The golden soul body approached the remnant spirit while resisting the constantly weakening soul shock.
The shock, which could easily tear apart the spiritual space, could no longer cause any waves.
The remnant spirit, with nowhere to escape, was like being burned by the approaching sun, and its volume was rapidly shrinking.
When Ye Lingling walked in front of the remnant spirit, only a wisp of it remained.
"Pa!"
She waved her hand and slapped it, smashing the last remnant spirit extremely decisively.
After doing all this, a brilliant smile finally appeared on her face.
After washing away the lead, gold is revealed; after fading away the glitz, the true self returns.
In this process, Ye Lingling found her original truth.
She playfully clapped her hands, as if to dust them off, and then returned her consciousness to her body.
