Chapter 833 Show of Force... Soul Force

These two Mid-Level Emperor Grade Body Tempering Cultivation Manuals can be accessed by core disciples, deacons, elders, and other cultivators with status, but these cultivation manuals possessed more flaws.

Usually, a few or more flaws wouldn't mean anything in the long run, but if one of those flaws were fatal, it might result in a side-effect.

The Fire-Attributed Body Tempering Cultivation Manual that Baize used made the senses numb after experiencing anger while the Earth-Attributed Body Tempering Cultivation Manual made the cultivator lose sight of oneself when experiencing extreme humiliation or similar emotions. It also has another flaw that leads to hair loss and makes one bald when they reach the Martial Sage Stage.

Although there was a remedy for this obvious flaw of becoming bald, the ingredient for this remedy is rare and almost extinct. If they could even have a living stalk of the ingredient, then they could nurture in their own garden and mass produce it in the future if possible to treat the side-effect.

However, the flaws that target emotions is not like a single yet blatant flaw. It is the product of many harmless flaws that were acting up together, just like how elements were able to influence one's emotions. To resolve these kinds of flaws, it would be too difficult! The remedy pill for the hair loss and becoming bald flaw is like resolving a single knot, easier to untie, but to resolve the problems caused by numerous flaws acting up together is almost impossible!

That's why he knew that Elder Towerfall's stupid actions were the result of his cultivation manual, making him short-sighted. However, could he say this is as an excuse and make a fool of themselves, or would the others even buy an excuse such as this?

Besides, he couldn't reveal the flaws of the cultivation manual, or it would be an enormous loss of face for the Towering Cloud Hall!

Thus, he straightaway sent Elder Towerfall to the Dungeon of Repentance to have him punished. Although Elder Towerfall wouldn't die, he would have his flesh, tendons, bones all gravely damaged by the whips that flailed at a random internal every five seconds.

To seal a Body Tempering Cultivation was too difficult! Sealing martial energy in the middle dantian was easier, but sealing the inherent and powerful physical body was impossible. The flesh, tendons, bones, meridians, and organs would be all strong and durable even when the Body Tempering Cultivation Base is sealed.

It would take at least millions of whipping to put a wound on a Martial Sage Cultivator's body, and while the pain would be tolerable, once the wound was opened, the whipping would further aggravate the cultivator into screaming for help and forgiveness!

Davis knew nothing about the Dungeon of Repentance, but when Elder Havle Alstreim sent him and Princess Isabella a soul transmission, explaining what it is, he understood and gave an understanding nod. Truly, Elder Havle Alstreim knew how to be of service. Although it wasn't to a degrading level, Elder Havle Alstreim was giving it all to enrich their amicable relationship.

This punishment didn't seem bad and, instead, was even suited to his taste.

Davis changed his mind.

Rather than giving a quick death, he liked to torture his enemies who had harmed his loved ones. The Heinous Scourge of the Sunset Tear Mountain was still burning within the vial that is able to store a soul, although he didn't know if that idiot is still alive after being burned by unending soul flames.

However, how could he just let Elder Towerfall be taken away like that?

"Anyone who dares to harm my Young Mistress deserves death!"

Grand Elder Rakhgal's expression changed as he felt a chill in his back, "You!?"

Feeling the undulations of the soul force that hit his face, he became horrified! Grand Elder Rosella wasn't much different as she too became wide-eyed, her face scrunching up in shock!

The information they had been fed turned out to be wrong! The protector was no longer at the Mature Soul Stage's peak but at Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage! The Seventh Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation! If he possessed such tremendous and terrifying enslaving techniques when he was at Mature Soul Stage, then how would that fare now that he was at Supreme Soul Stage?

Wouldn't it be disastrous for them!? Wouldn't it be over for them if they were to offend?

'No! The protector should've originally been at Supreme Soul Stage to enslave Law Sea Stage Experts that easily. It would make sense this way, and even if he broke through during this time, it would've only been possible from Low-Level Supreme Soul Stage to Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage! This would make more sense!' Grand Elder Rakhgal's mind spun, arriving at an answer.

Grand Elder Rosella also arrived at a similar conclusion.

It was just that they were unable to see why there was a need to hide one's Soul Forging Cultivation Base! Especially at the level of this expert!

Their previous thoughts on the protector were shattered and became misconceptions! Now they were trying to create a new impression of the protector in their minds.

'The Conferred Queen's Protector is definitely a Ninth Stage Powerhouse!!!' Grand Elder Rakhgal and Grand Elder Rosella inwardly screamed!

They abruptly froze on this realization, not knowing how to respond! Right now, they became aware that they were facing an ancestor level expert! To them, an ancestor level expert meant a Ninth Stage Powerhouse! And usually, Ninth Stage Powerhouses more or less possessed Supreme Soul Stage Cultivations.

This kind of thought process was too common in the Fifty-Two Territories!

For example, their own Ancestor was at Low-Level of Supreme Soul Stage despite living for more than twenty thousand years! It should be known how difficult it is to advance in Soul Forging Cultivation when compared to the other two cultivation systems!

The resources that increased Soul Forging Cultivation were less and incredibly rare to find! Even if one of them found, they would be hoarded by the mid-sized and large Territories, leaving them nothing! Besides, the soul forging cultivation manual they possessed was only a Low-Level King Grade Soul Forging Cultivation Manual!

That only allowed them to enter Low-Level Supreme Soul Stage, and in all these years, only their Ancestor seemed to have entered Supreme Soul Stage in the last twenty thousand years!

That's why they were convinced that the Conferred Queen's Protector is a low-key Ninth Stage Powerhouse! No wonder he was able to enslave those Law Sea Stage Experts easily! The experience and the insights of Ninth Stage Powerhouses in cultivation were at another level! They would naturally find it easier to enslave lower stage experts!

Davis stayed silent for two seconds. He didn't know what and all crossed their minds, but looking at their horrified expressions, he knew that his show of Soul Forging Cultivation that was at the Supreme Soul Stage sent them into the purgatory.

Their fear was thanks to his scheming and posturing at the right time! Furthermore, Princess Isabella's abnormal strength despite her Low-Level Martial Sage Stage cultivation base helped solidify their status as a mysterious yet real major power from mid or large Territory.

Once fear was imprinted, it was hard to get out of it, and Grand Elder Rakhgal and Elder Towerfall could be said to be the ones who were affected the worst!

Grand Elder Rakhgal's body increasingly shuddered as his face contorted while Elder Towerfall's expression became aghast! Even against a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse, they might have a chance to escape but against a Supreme Soul Stage Cultivator?

The bane of Body Tempering Cultivators is Soul Forging Cultivators!
