Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 2024: Chapter 2024: Is There a Voice Calling?

”By the way, that guy at the Half-Mountain Residence last time said something about the Hua Clan. Could this be the Hua Clan’s territory?” Ye Haochuan speculated.

But soon, he shook his head and said, ”No, that’s not right. I’ve been in the Immortal Realm for so long, and I’ve never heard of any racial distinctions here, nor has anyone ever claimed to be from the Hua Clan.”

Unable to figure it out, Ye Haochuan decided to wait until he reached the Half-Mountain Residence to ask that guy for clarification.

Putting aside this doubt, Ye Haochuan looked at the empty hall, shook his head in disappointment, and prepared to leave.

Just at that moment, driven by an inexplicable impulse, he suddenly had a thought and then activated his Perspective Eyes, scanning the hall once more.

Upon doing so, he indeed discovered something peculiar. At the end of the hall, there was a stone platform, which appeared to be a place for placing something.

Ye Haochuan hadn’t paid much attention initially, but when he saw the patterns on it, his heart suddenly trembled.

These patterns are recorded in the Hundred Arrays Collection.

The Formation Arts include more than just Illusion Arrays and Killing Formations; there are also some very peculiar things used for recognition or detection.

The patterns on the stone pillar are a recognition formation, and among them, it’s one of the more complex bloodline recognition types.

”Is there really something here?”

Ye Haochuan suddenly became interested. This kind of recognition formation is generally used to pass down family secret techniques. Judging from how intact this stone platform is, the inside contents evidently haven’t been taken yet.

”No matter which ancestor left this, don’t blame me for being rude. After all, leaving it here is uncertain how long it’ll stay buried, so it might as well be me who helps to bring it to light!”

Ye Haochuan muttered a few words to himself, then raised his halberd and advanced.

This bloodline recognition formation requires activation by someone from the same bloodline, but as an outsider, Ye Haochuan could only resort to brute force.

The Halberd of Heaven and Earth carried a burst of Gang Wind, fiercely striking down on the stone platform.

Such a strike was enough to crush a strong practitioner at the Immortal Transformation Early Stage into pulp.

Yet, in the face of this stone platform, the fierce Halberd of Heaven and Earth didn’t cause any damage.

Damn, it’s really hard!

Ye Haochuan snorted inwardly and took out the Divine Concealment Sword, which was currently absorbing materials, attempting to use its sharpness to split the stone platform in two.

Ka-ching~

Despite the sparks flying off from the collision with the stone platform, it still couldn’t break it.

”What the hell is this stone made of? It’s so hard!” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

The Halberd of Heaven and Earth and the Divine Concealment Sword couldn’t achieve success, and he believed his other cultivation techniques had no hope either.

”Divine Concealment Sword, how long until you can level up?” Ye Haochuan suddenly asked the Divine Concealment Sword.

The Divine Concealment Sword pondered for a moment, then replied, ”There are enough materials here; I believe in five or six days, I can level up!”

Ye Haochuan nodded, the hope in his eyes rising again.

Once the Divine Concealment Sword upgrades to Pseudo-Immortal Level, its power and sharpness will be a whole new level, making it possible to split this stone.

Ye Haochuan was about to sit down cross-legged for cultivation when he felt a sensation like something was bumping against his right arm.

Turning to look, he found it was the place where the Liu Xianglan-like tattoo was.

Liu Xianglan’s soul had always been within Ye Haochuan, but after arriving in the Immortal Realm, she seemed to be asleep. Ye Haochuan had tried several times to summon her out, all in vain.

Now, it was evident Liu Xianglan was trying to come out, although it didn’t seem to be an easy task.

Suppressing his doubts, Ye Haochuan enveloped Liu Xianglan’s soul with his Spiritual Energy, helping her to emerge.

After Liu Xianglan’s soul came out, Ye Haochuan quickly realized there was a problem.

Liu Xianglan’s soul was dissipating in the air at an astonishing speed, losing as much as one-tenth of its essence in just a short instant.

Greatly shocked, Ye Haochuan hurriedly protected Liu Xianglan’s soul with his Spiritual Energy.

Even so, he could only slow down the rate of her soul’s dissipation, unable to completely stop it.

”Husband, where exactly are we? It feels like the rules here don’t allow my presence,” Liu Xianglan said sweetly.

Ye Haochuan was already accustomed to Liu Xianglan’s way of addressing him. He mused, ”It’s not that your presence isn’t allowed; rather, it’s that soul bodies aren’t allowed to exist independently.”

In truth, during the battle against Gu Tian, Ye Haochuan had a suspicion while using the Ghost Escape Technique, noticing that part of his soul was being absorbed by the surrounding space after leaving his body.

People in the Immortal Realm are inherently stronger than those in the Lower Realm. Each is at least at the Nascent Soul level, and in the Lower Realm, they have the ability to ensure their soul doesn’t dissipate for a while after death.

If that were truly the case, wouldn’t this world be filled with soul bodies?

This phenomenon is obviously unreasonable and thus this world has its own way of handling it, which is an even stricter set of existential rules than those in the Lower Realm.

However, when Ye Haochuan used the Ghost Escape Technique, his soul maintained some connection to his body, so the rules around hardly impacted his soul.

A soul body like Liu Xianglan’s would suffer much more, causing her soul to dissipate faster.

”Does that mean I won’t be able to come out to see you anymore?” Liu Xianglan asked, feeling very aggrieved.

”Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to rebuild your body as soon as possible; then you’ll be like everyone else, no longer limited,” Ye Haochuan replied earnestly.

”Husband, I believe in you; you’re the best!” Liu Xianglan smiled sweetly.

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile in return. He seemed to be getting increasingly accustomed to Liu Xianglan calling him ”husband,” looking at her with the same gaze he did with his other women.

”By the way, why were you in such a hurry to come out? Is something wrong?” Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled.

Liu Xianglan had attempted to come out before, but there hadn’t been such a strong impulse as today, prompting Ye Haochuan’s question.

”I’m not sure either; I feel like there’s something here calling me. Husband, did you hear it?” Liu Xianglan asked seriously.

”A call?” Ye Haochuan suddenly paused.

That’s right, I wasn’t supposed to be here. Why did I suddenly decide to use my Heavenly Eye and look again?

Ye Haochuan fell deep into thought.

Moments ago, a notion popped into his mind, urging him to come back and look. It’s the first time he’s experienced something like this.

Could it be the so-called call responsible for this strange reaction?

A thought suddenly emerged in Ye Haochuan’s mind, and then he gently closed his eyes, calming his breath and focusing his senses.

Sure enough, in the next moment, he felt an exceedingly familiar sensation. At the same time, a voice in his mind seemed to say that this thing before him ought to be his.
