While he wasn’t about to say no to freedom, there was something else on his mind. For one, the fact that these
seven mortals had come down here without permission from the Thunder Sword Sect was already punishable by
death. With that in mind, if they were willing to risk their lives just to momentarily release him, that had to mean
that the enemy was exceedingly strong!
“Is he really that strong?” asked the old man.
“He is, and despite being so young, he’s probably stronger than the three elders of the Thunder Sword Sect! We
know since even after so many years of cultivating, all seven of us weren’t even able to block a single attack from
him…!” replied Jaxen as he began explaining about Gerald and his sons’ deaths.
Naturally, this left the old man surprised as he thought, ‘To think that the outside world has changed so much after
being imprisoned here for just a few decades… For that boy to be this powerful, he must be a true cultivator from
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe cultivation realm like me!’
If he could have a good fight with the boy during his ‘momentary freedom,’ he could at least vent all his anger and
grievances that he had accumulated over the years on him. In doing so, he’d finally be relieved of his mental
torment for a bit.
Turning to look at the seven kneeling men who were still waiting for his reply, the old man eventually said, “Fine, I’ll
help. However, are you really going to free me?”
“About that… Please don’t get mad, senior, but we can’t touch the chain formations… We’d get pulverized if we did!
That aside, we do have access to a soul shifting formation… If you don’t mind, we’ll use the formation to transfer
your primary soul to another person’s body… Take note, however, that the formation can only last for four hours…
With that said, once the time is up, you’ll automatically be sent back to your body,” explained Jaxen.
“Four hours of freedom is the best we can compromise with…” added Grand Elder.
“The Thunder Sword Sect had me locked down here since they know that I’m a straightforward person who likes to
travel. In other words, they knew I’d feel true torture down here. That aside, I’m in. Four hours, it is!” declared the
old man with a laugh.
Hearing that, the Grand Elder leaped out before tossing an old man into the cavern!
When he saw that, Jaxen was prompted to say, “We’ll be casting the spell now, senior!”
As they had said, the soul-shifting formation would be broken after four hours. However, what they didn’t mention
was the fact that if the old man attempted to seek revenge on them, the formation would immediately explode,
thus destroying his soul! Even so, they believed that the old man was smart enough to know that they’d have a
backup plan. With that in mind, both parties were equally at risk of being in danger.
The seven, for one, believed that the old man wasn’t foolish enough to end his life just to kill them, which further
gave them the guts to release him.
Whatever the case was, shortly after the soul-shifting formation was initiated, the old man’s primary soul could be
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmseen rising from his body before transforming into a beam of light that quickly shot into the dead old man’s body
that the seven had just killed!
It didn’t take long before the corpse opened its eyes and once his eyes were fully opened, brilliant light began
radiating from his body!
As the seven men covered their eyes, they heard the old man laugh heartily as he yelled, “Hah! It’s good to be
free!”
Following that, the old man transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into thin air!
“S-Senior…!” yelled the seven men as they quickly ran after him.
The Morningstar manor was built halfway up a mountain, and by the time they finally caught up to the old man-at
the back of the mountain-, they were just in time to witness him glowing goldenly in an attack stance while yelling,
“Thunderous Immobilite…!”
All of them could only state wide-eyed as the old man then shot out an immensely powerful lightblade…!
“Is… Is this the true power of the legendary cultivation realm…?” muttered all seven of them to themselves, all
frozen in shock.
