Chapter 432: Self-Sealing One’s Cultivation
“The Central Plains Sect Alliance discovered an unowned remnant soul left behind from ancient times. The soul power contained within could even help me advance to the nascent soul realm. It was for this reason that my father agreed to help the Central Plains Sect Alliance establish their Dao in the Great Snow Mountain of the Northern Plains.”
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Chenggan still revealed the secret.
There was nothing he could do. He was the son of the Xiao family. It could be said that his life far exceeded the value of an ancient remnant soul. If anything happened to him, not only Victor, but the Central Plains Sect Alliance of the Central Plains would also suffer the crazy revenge of the Xiao Family!
Moreover, Xiao Chenggan did not think that Victor had the ability to use that wisp of ancient remnant soul. Even if he told him the secret, the latter would not be able to stir up any troubles.
In fact, at first, Victor thought the same. At most, he would just listen to it. If he really intervened, the experts of the Xiao family would probably take revenge on him recklessly.
However, when he heard about the ancient remnant soul, Victor was suddenly stunned as if he had realized something!
“Mountain spirit, that remnant soul…”
“It’s most likely me!”
The mountain spirit thought that it would take a huge amount of time to repair its soul. It did not expect to meet a remnant soul so soon!
“Victor! If you take it away, I have the confidence to help you advance to the nascent soul realm. At the very least, you will be at the peak of the core formation realm!
“Not only that, my remnant soul might know the way to break through the four levels!”
Hearing this, Victor did not hesitate at all and agreed to the mountain spirit’s suggestion on the spot.
He had no choice. In order to increase his strength, Victor had no other choice.
Moreover, as long as he did it secretly, they might not be able to figure out that Victor was the one behind it.
Thinking of this, Victor nodded and had already made a preliminary plan in his heart.
“Victor, I’ve already told you about the matter. Now, can you let me go?”
At this moment, Xiao Chenggan did not seem to have the slightest bit of arrogance and despotism. Instead, it was more like a discussion, a request.
There was no other way. His life was in Victor’s hands, so he could only compromise.
“Don’t worry, I will let you go, but not now.”
With that, Victor’s figure disappeared from where he was.
In the next moment, Victor returned to the wooden house and took the zither. He kept recalling the heaven-ranked zither technique in his mind.
“Got it!”
Victor’s eyes lit up, and then he revealed a meaningful smile. With a thought, he returned to Xiao Chenggan.
“How about this? Although that remnant soul is meaningless to me, I don’t want to hand it over to you for free. Seal your soul for seven days and forget about this matter.”
Victor had originally wanted to heavily injure Xiao Chenggan, forcing him to delay the process. However, after thinking about it carefully, if he really took action, he was afraid that what awaited him would be the crazy revenge of the Xiao family. He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
One week was enough for Victor to return to the Green Dragon Sect before interfering with this matter.
After all, the incomplete soul of the mountain spirit was already worth Victor’s risk.
As for Xiao Chenggan, after thinking about it for a long time, he still agreed to Victor’s request.
There was no other way. Now that Victor was the chopping block, he was the fish meat on it. If he did not want to be trampled on, he could only comply. He had no room for negotiation!
“I agree with you, but the premise is that you won’t interfere in this matter.”
“Don’t worry. I don’t cultivate soul techniques. I just don’t want to give it to you for free. Even if I took the remnant soul, it would be meaningless.
“Moreover, the Xiao family and the Central Plains Sect Alliance are working together. Do you think I have the chance to interfere?” Victor sneered, and then pulled out a wisp of qi and transferred it into Xiao Chenggan’s body.
“Seal your soul for seven days. I’ll let you go now. I advise you not to have any wicked thoughts. Otherwise, the qi in your body will affect your spiritual power and cause a riot.
“Of course, don’t expect others to remove my qi from your body. All it takes is one thought from me to cause a spiritual power riot in your body, thus damaging your cultivation.
“Of course, after seven days, the aura will naturally dissipate, which is a form of guarantee.”
“What should I do if you go back on your words? Just like how you don’t trust me, I don’t entirely trust you either.”
“Don’t worry. If I go back on my words, won’t you just look for your father? Although a nascent soul realm cultivator can’t erase my aura, isn’t it easy for a soul formation realm cultivator?”
Victor waved his hand and said impatiently, “But don’t worry. I’m different from you. I’m a man of my word. Seal your soul quickly and I’ll let you go.”
Having said that, Xiao Chenggan had to trust Victor. With a thought, he sealed his soul for seven days.
After Victor confirmed that there was no mistake, he nodded and left the Small World with Xiao Chenggan.
When the two of them were exposed to the public, the Xiao family disciples immediately launched an attack, but they were stopped by Xiao Chenggan.
“Stop!”
“Young master! This person refined Feng Jiu’s Small World and stole your opportunity. In the future, he will definitely be a big trouble. It’s better to kill him as soon as possible!”
“Let him leave.”
“Young master!”
“I said, let him leave. Are my words no longer effective?”
Xiao Chenggan shouted. His eagle-like eyes looked around, suppressing everyone.
Seeing this scene, Victor smacked his lips.
“As long as the mountain doesn’t change, the water will flow forever. Until we meet again. Brother Xiao, see you in the future.”
After saying this, Victor turned around and flew away.
Looking at Victor’s back, several thoughts of killing him rose in Xiao Chenggan’s mind, but in the end, he could only give up.
“You’re not allowed to tell anyone about today’s matter, especially the head of the family!”
“Young master, what did he say to you just now? Are you injured?”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. He didn’t attack me. He only asked me a question.”
“Young master, may I ask what the question was?”
After the nascent soul realm elder said that, he instantly realized that he had overstepped his authority and hurriedly bowed.
“There are some questions that you shouldn’t ask.”
Xiao Chenggan snorted coldly and returned to the study room.
Seven days. Although it was a bit longer, Xiao Chenggan still had this bit of patience. Moreover, the Central Plains Sect Alliance was not ready yet. At most, it was an extra three days of wait. It was acceptable.
The only problem was that Feng Jiu’s Small World was actually refined by Victor. Just as the nascent soul realm expert said earlier…
Once the Small World was completely refined by Victor, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Victor’s achievements in the future would not lose out to Xiao Chenggan!
However, these were all things to be discussed in the future.
Having achieved his goal, Victor returned to the wine shop and told everything he had done to Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling.
As for Ping An, although he did not understand Victor’s words, it did not stop him from thinking how powerful his master was.
After all, he forced the Xiao family’s heir to seal his soul for seven days. This was something that 99% of the core formation cultivators in the five plains could not do!
