Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2024: Is There a Voice Calling?

"By the way, that guy at the Half-Mountain Residence last time mentioned something about the Hua Clan. Could this be the territory of the Hua Clan?" Ye Haochuan pondered.

However, he soon dismissed the thought, shaking his head. "No, that doesn't seem right. I've been in the Immortal Realm for such a long time, and I've never heard any mention of racial distinctions here, nor has anyone ever claimed to be from the Hua Clan."

Unable to solve this riddle, Ye Haochuan decided to wait until he reached the Half-Mountain Residence to seek clarification from that individual.

Setting this query aside, Ye Haochuan glanced at the vacant hall, sighed in disappointment, and prepared to depart.

Just then, compelled by an unknown impulse, a sudden idea struck him, and he activated his Perspective Eyes, thoroughly surveying the hall once more.

Upon doing so, he did indeed detect something unusual. At the far end of the hall stood a stone platform, seemingly designed for placing objects.

Ye Haochuan had not paid it much mind initially, but as his gaze fell upon the intricate patterns adorning it, his heart gave a sudden jolt.

These patterns were documented within the Hundred Arrays Collection.

The art of Formations encompasses more than just Illusion Arrays and Killing Formations; it also includes certain unique constructs employed for identification or detection purposes.

The markings on the stone platform constituted a recognition formation, specifically one of the more intricate types designed for bloodline authentication.

"Could there truly be something here?"

Ye Haochuan's interest was instantly piqued. Such recognition formations were typically utilized for the transmission of secret family techniques. Observing the pristine condition of this stone platform, it was evident that its contents had not yet been disturbed.

"Regardless of which ancestor left this behind, do not fault me for my lack of ceremony. After all, who knows how long it would remain forgotten here? It might as well be I who brings it to light!"

Ye Haochuan muttered these words to himself before raising his halberd and advancing.

This bloodline recognition formation necessitated activation by an individual of the same lineage. As an outsider, Ye Haochuan had no choice but to resort to sheer force.

The Halberd of Heaven and Earth, accompanied by a surge of potent Gang Wind, descended with formidable force upon the stone platform.

Such an assault would have been sufficient to pulverize a powerful cultivator in the Early Stage of Immortal Transformation.

Yet, against the unyielding stone platform, the mighty Halberd of Heaven and Earth inflicted no discernible damage.

"Damn, this is incredibly durable!"

Ye Haochuan inwardly grumbled and produced the Divine Concealment Sword, which was currently in the process of absorbing materials. He intended to leverage its sharpness to cleave the stone platform in two.

Ka-ching~

Despite the shower of sparks that erupted from the clash between the sword and the stone, it remained stubbornly intact.

"What in the world is this stone made of? It’s so exceptionally hard!" Ye Haochuan couldn't help but exclaim internally.

Given that both the Halberd of Heaven and Earth and the Divine Concealment Sword had failed, he harbored little hope that his other cultivation techniques would fare any better.

"Divine Concealment Sword, how much longer until you can advance a level?" Ye Haochuan abruptly inquired of the sword.

The Divine Concealment Sword seemed to contemplate for a moment before responding, "There are sufficient materials available now; I estimate I can level up in about five to six days!"

Ye Haochuan nodded, a renewed glimmer of hope igniting in his eyes.

Once the Divine Concealment Sword was upgraded to the Pseudo-Immortal Level, its power and sharpness would ascend to an entirely new echelon, potentially enabling it to shatter this formidable stone.

Just as Ye Haochuan was preparing to sit in meditation for cultivation, he felt a peculiar sensation, as if something were gently nudging his right arm.

Turning to investigate, he discovered the source was the area bearing the tattoo resembling Liu Xianglan.

Liu Xianglan's soul had resided within Ye Haochuan continuously. However, after his arrival in the Immortal Realm, she appeared to have fallen into a deep slumber. Ye Haochuan's numerous attempts to summon her forth had all proven futile.

Now, it was evident that Liu Xianglan was striving to emerge, though it clearly was not proving to be an easy endeavor.

Setting aside his other concerns, Ye Haochuan channeled his Spiritual Energy to envelop Liu Xianglan's soul, aiding her in her attempt to manifest.

As Liu Xianglan's soul finally materialized, Ye Haochuan immediately perceived a critical issue.

Liu Xianglan's soul was dissipating in the air at an alarming rate, losing as much as a tenth of its essence in a mere instant.

Greatly alarmed, Ye Haochuan swiftly shielded Liu Xianglan's soul with his Spiritual Energy.

Even with this protection, he could only decelerate the process of her soul's disintegration; halting it entirely was beyond his current capability.

"Husband, where precisely are we? I sense that the established rules here are incompatible with my existence," Liu Xianglan murmured sweetly.

Ye Haochuan, long accustomed to Liu Xianglan's endearing form of address, contemplated her words. "It's not that your presence is forbidden; rather, it's that incorporeal soul bodies are not permitted to exist independently in this realm."

Actually, during his confrontation with Gu Tian, Ye Haochuan harbored a suspicion while employing the Ghost Escape Technique. He observed that a portion of his soul seemed to be absorbed by the surrounding void after it departed from his physical form.

Beings from the Immortal Realm are naturally more robust than those from the Lower Realm. Each possesses at least the power of the Nascent Soul level, and within the Lower Realm, they have the capacity to prevent their souls from dissipating for a period after their demise.

If that were the genuine situation, wouldn’t this world be teeming with disembodied souls?

This particular phenomenon is clearly not logical, implying that this realm operates under its own distinct set of laws, which are even more stringent regarding existence than those found in the Lower Realm.

However, when Ye Haochuan executed the Ghost Escape Technique, his soul maintained a residual link with his body. Consequently, the ambient rules had a negligible impact on his soul.

A soul entity like Liu Xianglan’s would endure far greater hardship, leading to a more rapid dissipation of her soul.

"Does this imply I'll be unable to emerge and visit you anymore?" Liu Xianglan inquired, her tone laced with profound grievance.

"Do not fret, I shall devise a method to reconstruct your physical form at the earliest opportunity; then you will be like everyone else, no longer subjected to such limitations," Ye Haochuan responded with utmost sincerity.

"Husband, I have faith in you; you are the very best!" Liu Xianglan beamed, her smile radiating sweetness.

A smile involuntarily returned to Ye Haochuan’s face. He appeared to be growing increasingly accustomed to Liu Xianglan addressing him as "husband," regarding her with the same affection he held for his other women.

"On a separate note, why the sudden urgency to manifest? Is there an issue?" Ye Haochuan inquired, a touch of bewilderment in his voice.

Liu Xianglan had attempted to emerge previously, but never had she experienced such an overpowering urge as she did today, which prompted Ye Haochuan’s question.

"I'm uncertain myself; I feel a distinct calling from this place. Husband, did you perceive it?" Liu Xianglan asked, her expression serious.

"A calling?" Ye Haochuan suddenly halted, his thoughts momentarily suspended.

That's right, I wasn't originally meant to be here. Why did I suddenly feel compelled to activate my Heavenly Eye and investigate further?

Ye Haochuan became lost in contemplation.

Just moments ago, an unbidden notion surfaced in his mind, compelling him to return and examine the situation. This was an unprecedented sensation for him.

Could this so-called calling be the source of this peculiar impulse?

A realization dawned upon Ye Haochuan, and he gently closed his eyes, steadied his breathing, and concentrated his senses.

Indeed, in the ensuing moment, he perceived an incredibly familiar resonance. Simultaneously, a voice echoed within his mind, suggesting that the item before him rightfully belonged to him.
