Sealed door

"The royal family of Snow Moon Kingdom, the ancestors of the Duan family, actually reached such a realm!" Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp light. No wonder the Duan family could rule for generations; it turned out they could inherit the power of bloodline.

Having inherited the bloodline power passed down from their ancestors, even if their talents were inferior, they would still be stronger than ordinary people. Their starting point would be higher than others, and they could also inherit the bloodline martial soul!

"Because the degree of inherited bloodline power varies, the talents inherited by descendants are also different. Even this kind of bloodline martial soul is graded, with some strong and some weak. Therefore, the Duan family has a rule that the more wives and concubines a Duan family member has, the better."

Lin Feng paused for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile. Because the degree of inheritance of bloodline power is entirely dependent on luck, the Duan family naturally hopes to have as many descendants as possible. This way, it is more likely to have descendants who inherit high-degree bloodline power. As long as one person among a group of descendants succeeds, it is enough. Needless to say, Lin Feng could also understand the thinking of the people of the Duan family.

"It is because of this rule that not all descendants of the Duan family are of good quality and it is impossible for them to all live in the palace. Therefore, the weak are destined to be eliminated. Although I heard that it was because of the mistakes of our ancestors that we were relegated from the palace, I actually do not agree. In my opinion, it must be due to the reasons I just mentioned. Moreover, those who are eliminated and expelled from the royal family will definitely not be few."

Duan Feng continued, and Lin Feng nodded in agreement. The Duan family members, with many wives and concubines, naturally have more descendants. No matter how vast the palace is, it cannot accommodate the reproduction of tens of millions of years. Moreover, with so many people, how can there be no chaos? Expulsion is an inevitable thing.

"However, because every descendant of the Duan family can inherit bloodline power, even those who are expelled are the same. Therefore, those who wield power hidden in the vast palace behind the heavy curtains still pay attention to us descendants of the Duan family. Once they find that there are descendants among us who have inherited more bloodline power, they will immediately take action."

At this point, Duan Feng paused for a moment and continued, "Lin Feng, I will not hide it from you. The clan brother I mentioned before, who recommended me to go to the Tianyi Academy, has an extraordinary identity. He is the second prince of the current royal family, with a high position and great power. Not only is he extremely talented, but he also excels in political strategies. He is an extremely powerful figure."

The second prince? Lin Feng did not expect that Duan Feng's clan brother's identity would be so prominent.

"Duan Feng, it seems that your talent is not weak either, inheriting bloodline power."

Lin Feng looked at Duan Feng and smiled, saying that he must have inherited a considerable amount of ancestral bloodline power, which caught the attention of the second prince and invited him to the imperial city.

"It cannot be directly seen how much bloodline power one has inherited. It depends on the talent for cultivation and the strength of the bloodline martial soul that can be displayed. However, this kind of bloodline martial soul can continue to strengthen with the increase of strength. Currently, the bloodline martial soul I can release is still too weak, far inferior to the second prince. Moreover, what is even more terrifying is not the second prince, but a monstrous genius who has appeared in our generation, with talent so high that it has not been seen for hundreds of years. He is hailed as the most powerful genius in the thousand years of the Duan family and is also the person who has inherited the most bloodline power in these thousand years."

Lin Feng listened attentively. In Duan Feng's words, the second prince was already outstanding, but it seemed that there was still a monstrous talent.

"This person is the crown prince of Snow Moon Kingdom, Duan Wudao, destined to rule Snow Moon in the future. Not only is he known as the most monstrous genius of the Duan family in a thousand years, but even in Snow Moon Kingdom, his talent is unmatched, ranking first among the eight princes. No one has ever been able to shake his position among the eight princes, incredibly powerful. Although the second prince is also one of the eight princes, there is still a big gap between him and the crown prince."

"Duan Wudao, true to his name, although he is a rare genius, he is cold-blooded and ruthless. Those who obey will prosper, and those who oppose will perish. He has killed countless people, his hands dyed red with blood. It is said that after his strength was first established, he challenged his teacher, and his teacher was defeated and directly killed by him. In his opinion, those who lose to him are not qualified to be his teacher and deserve to die. Therefore, many hate him, but no one dares to go against him or resist him. Whoever opposes him will die. The crown prince is ruthless and arrogant."

To kill one's own teacher, how ruthless. Duan Wudao, indeed lives up to his name.

"If the crown prince is a rare genius, it would be fine if others were mediocre, but unfortunately, the second prince is also outstanding. He is a few years younger than the crown prince and also entered the ranks of the eight princes. Moreover, the second prince is humble and very popular."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, seeming to understand many things. Those who were born outstanding were truly extraordinary. Perhaps this was what was meant by 'if a jade is not cut, it cannot be a weapon'. The disagreement mentioned by Wang Lao must refer to the differences between the crown prince and the second prince.

Sure enough, Duan Feng continued, "Although no one dares to openly oppose the will of the crown prince, the second prince is not willing to decline. There are constant movements behind the scenes. It is said that the two of them have deep conflicts. Of course, the specific details, I am not very clear. After all, these are things my father told me when he was alive. As for your question about the Wolf King, he is on the side of the crown prince."

"I see." Lin Feng nodded, "So, Wang Lao's slander against me is to say that I am a person of the Wolf King, deliberately approaching you to show kindness to you, and then to draw you into the camp of the crown prince?"

"Yes, that's right," Duan Feng nodded.

The gates of the powerful and influential families are like the deep sea, and behind the heavy curtains of the palace is even more so. Intrigues and deceptions abound, and Duan Feng was brought into this world just because of a decree from the second prince, letting him go to Tianyi Academy.

But when Duan Feng was in danger several times, the second prince did not show the slightest trace, and none of his men appeared.

"The second prince is very deep in his schemes, you must be careful," Lin Feng reminded.

"Hehe, no

 one dares to openly oppose the will of the crown prince, not even the second prince. Therefore, the subordinates of the crown prince dare to openly assassinate, just changing their identities, but the people of the second prince dare not appear, because there are many people like me, not worth causing a conflict with the crown prince for me."

Duan Feng smiled bitterly, this was their tragedy.

"Perhaps, the crown prince and the second prince have never appeared, but their subordinates have done things for them."

Lin Feng nodded as before, somewhat surprised as he looked at Duan Feng. It was commendable for Duan Feng to see so far at his age. Behind the curtains, the crown prince and the second prince did not need to personally handle everything; their large groups would operate continuously.

"I have one more question. All descendants of the Duan family inherit the bloodline martial soul. Why have I seen Duan Tianlang and his son using swords?"

"This is also the abnormality of the bloodline martial soul that I want to supplement. If the descendants of the Duan family inherit weak bloodline power, their martial souls will not be dominated by the bloodline and will naturally possess other types of martial souls. Moreover, they will simultaneously possess inherited bloodline martial souls, but the inherited bloodline martial souls will be weaker. So, as you said, Duan Tianlang and his son should both have two martial souls."

"Even if they inherit weak bloodline power, they all have twin martial souls. The descendants of strong bloodlines are truly terrifying." Lin Feng was shocked.

"As for those who inherit strong bloodline power, the bloodline power dominates their talents, and what they inherit is pure bloodline martial soul. The stronger their strength, the stronger the power of the bloodline martial soul." Duan Feng's face showed a strange look. "Lin Feng, I actually inherited a pure bloodline martial soul, so I was noticed by the second prince and invited to the imperial city."

Lin Feng nodded slightly. He had already guessed that Duan Feng had a strong talent, otherwise, he would not have been valued by both sides, one inviting and the other assassinating.

After a moment of silence, Duan Feng smiled at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, do you not want to know what this bloodline martial soul is?"

"I have never heard of the martial soul of the Duan family of the royal family, and I have not even seen Duan Tianlang and his son use it. It must be very mysterious and cannot be easily known to outsiders." Lin Feng smiled and said.

"Lin Feng, you have saved me twice. How can you be considered an outsider? Lin Feng, you watch."

After Duan Feng finished speaking, a strange aura surged from him, and behind Duan Feng, a phantom of his martial soul appeared.

Three dark gates floated quietly there, exuding an ancient aura. These were the gates of darkness, incomparably deep gates of darkness. They were open, but the end could not be seen.

Lin Feng stared at the three gates of darkness, trembling slightly all over. At the same time, a familiar feeling emerged in his mind.

"Lin Feng, in the future, if you encounter descendants of the Duan family, you must be careful. Our martial soul is called the Gate of Sealing, which can seal others' strength, martial souls, and even lives. The more gates of sealing one has, the stronger the inherited bloodline power, the stronger the bloodline martial soul. The second prince, he has five gates of sealing, which is extremely powerful. The crown prince has inherited even more terrifying six gates of sealing. There is a rumor that the powerful ancestor of the Duan family had nine gates of sealing in his martial soul. With one move, he could seal the souls of thousands of people, unparalleled in the world."

"When the martial soul takes action, the gates of sealing close and merge into the other person's body, which means that something in the other person has been sealed, either strength or martial soul."

Duan Feng slowly said, and Lin Feng's body could not help but tremble slightly, making Duan Feng and Meng Qing stunned, staring at Lin Feng.

"This is, the Gate of Sealing!" Lin Feng muttered to himself, a cold breath surging from his body. He finally remembered where the familiar feeling came from. In his memory, he had seen this gate, but it was very small, and it was a closed gate of sealing that he saw at the brow of his father, Duan Hai!
