Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 340 - Life Leeching Seal

"How could it be, Master? You don't want to get your power back?" Yun Lintian asked with a frown on his face.

"Of course, I do." A sneer appeared on Lin Zixuan's face. "However, if I truly regained my strength, it would upset someone, and all of you might face his wrath."

"Someone? Are you talking about Patriarch Lin, Master?" Yun Lintian probed.

Lin Zixuan shook her head. "It's not him, but someone more powerful than him."

Yun Lintian's eyebrows creased together upon hearing this. In his opinion, Lin Hai already stood at the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm. There was actually someone more powerful than him?… Surely, this person is not someone from the Northern Continent.

The more he thought, the more curious he became. Yun Lintian secretly opened Eyes of Heaven and looked at Lin Zixuan's body. His face immediately turned unsightly when he saw her current condition.

In the middle of her body, a terrifyingly ancient-looking seal could be seen sucking Lin Zixuan's vitality bit by bit. It had an appearance of a small circular plate with an ancient rune on it. Countless ugly roots were spreading out from it, reaching every corner of her body like a giant spiderweb. Yun Lintian swore he had never seen something horribly disgusting like this before.

Yun Lintian quickly searched for the information in his head, but he couldn't recall anything about this terrifying seal. He had to look at the Universal Seal Art later.

"Have you seen it?" Lin Zixuan suddenly asked.

Yun Lintian retracted his gaze and took a deep breath. He said solemnly. "Master, are you sure you don't want to get rid of it?" Judging from Lin Zixuan's remaining vitality, she could live for three years at best.

Lin Zixuan went silent. She stood there motionless, like a wooden statue.

"Master. I don't know who the enemy is, but I believe senior sisters and Miss Lin are not afraid of him. We are willing to take risks instead of seeing you leave this world like that." Yun Lintian said with a serious expression.

Woosh!

All of a sudden, Jiang Yingyue, Murong Xue, Nantian Fengyu, and Lin Xinyao appeared before Lin Zixuan one by one. In fact, they had been around here and listened to the conversation between Lin Zixuan and Yun Lintian a long time ago.

"As Junior Brother Yun said, Master. We are not afraid of that person." Jiang Yingyue said calmly.

"Master, do you really think we are weak? Aren't you looking down on your disciples too much?" Murong Xue said with dissatisfaction. 

"That's right, Master. Let him come. I'll let good junior brother hit him!" Nantian Fengyu waved her small fists vigorously.

Meanwhile, Lin Xinyao stared at Lin Zixuan silently without a word, but the meanings in her eyes were evident. She truly wanted Lin Zixuan to regain her strength.

Lin Zixuan tilted her head slightly as though she looked at her disciples one by one. A while later, she asked. "Do you have a way to make it as the seal has never been taken care of?"

Yun Lintian shook his head. "I don't know. Please give me one night, and I will come up with a solution."

"Then, we will talk about it tomorrow." Lin Zixuan said and slowly walked toward her bamboo hut.

Lin Xinyao turned her head to look at Yun Lintian and said. "Thank you." Afterward, she slowly followed Lin Zixuan behind.

"Are you confident?" Murong Xue walked toward Yun Lintian as she asked.

"I can't talk about it yet. Let me look at it first." Yun Lintian replied uncertainly. However, in his heart, he was ninety-nine percent sure he could get rid of the seal in Lin Zixuan's body.

"Come on, good junior brother! You can do it." Nantian Fengyu waved her fists once again.

"I'll leave Master to you." Jiang Yingyue said softly before returning to her residence.

Yun Lintian said nothing further and returned to his room. He took out the Universal Seal Art book and searched for the corresponding seal.

An hour later, Yun Lintian seemed to discover the seal he was looking for. This seal was called 'Life Leeching Seal,' one of the most horrifying seals in the Monarch-rank. It would slowly absorb the target's vitality to strengthen itself before taking over the target's body when the target died. The target would become a lifeless puppet under the seal owner's absolute control.

"Which bastard is using such a disgusting seal on her?" Yun Lintian couldn't help cursing aloud.

Out of every profound art in this world, Yun Lintian hated a kind of puppet art the most. Especially the one used on the corpse. He didn't understand. There were plenty of profound arts, yet these people chose to practice such a disgusting art instead.

Yun Lintian read the description about the Life Leeching Seal further and discovered it was quite troublesome to get rid of it.

First, Yun Lintian had to make sure Lin Zixuan's body could handle the following damage during the unsealing process. 

Secondly, he had to take all the seal's roots out simultaneously. If not, the seal might activate its ability to devour the target's internal organs. The target would definitely die in an instant.

Lastly, even though he could safely take it out, Yun Lintian had no way of recovering Lin Zixuan's vitality. She would still end up losing her life a few years later. This was not something Yun Lintian could help with.

Thinking of this, Yun Qianxue's figure suddenly appeared in Yun Lintian's mind. He didn't know how she was doing now…. After the Frozen Moon Mythical Realm ended, I have to leave this continent to find the Tree of Life right away. He made up his mind.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath, putting Yun Qianxue's matter aside, and continued to read further. At the same time, he was constantly thinking of a way to conceal the seal within Lin Zixuan's body so that the seal's owner wouldn't notice anything unusual about it.

Time passed by quickly. It was until the morning did Yun Lintian discover a solution.. He was now fully confident about dealing with this disgusting seal.
