Master Of Souls

Chapter 4 - Well Played Destiny

After the not so peaceful session of calming myself I sat down and tried to locate the position of the powerful soul I felt earlier. It was a young soul no more than 15 years of age. But It was unbelievably powerful for its age.

I could also feel traces of a more powerful soul in it. It all pointed at one direction, full Inheritance of a powerful person. But it was grievously injured and I felt a powerful poison corrupting her soul. It must be a really powerful poison if it could affect even the soul.

When I looked at the treasure named 'Sky poison pearl' which could purify all poison I couldn't help but chuckle. It should be the person who was fated to this original soul who would heal his broken profound veins.

Oh...Did I mention that this soul was of a girl? Imagine a powerful girl whose soul was getting corrupted by a vicious poison and a reincarnator with a treasure that could purify all poison but with disabled profound veins. What a beautiful story.

Well played destiny...Well played

FYI The girl's under fifteen and the guy's over 30. CALL THE FBI!!!!!!

It should take 40 minutes for the poison to fully affect her soul. So before meeting this person I had to make proper preparations.

I looked at the bloody body of Xiao Yulong whose eyes were lifeless. His body was still functioning but his soul was already consumed by me. So technically he is dead.

I couldn't help but sigh when I saw the bloody body of Xiao Yulong. I got a bit twisted there. But who wouldn't when all your loved ones were killed by a mindless monster and you had to escape to a different world with your tail between your legs. And lived just because you were useful to fight against that monster.

If I consumed someone like Xia Qingyue who was favored by the world I would get a backlash from the world. But when I consumed this original Xiao Che's soul who was more heavily favoured by the world nothing happened. Why?

Because I was more useful than the original soul. Why more useful?

Cause the world knew about that monster and that the barrier between worlds would not stop him from slaughtering more worlds. He was inevitable.

Even though the worlds aren't sentient they still know what to do to protect itself. So here comes all the extraordinary of this small city that are destined to achieve great things. The world is basically nurturing them to fight off that monster.

And according to my personal experience, these guys will not hesitate to sacrifice themselves if it means the survival of the world.

While thinking all of this I couldn't help but sigh again. I mean I thought I was the most powerful person in my world. Then that monster came and I am getting dragged in these world's laws shit.

But these things made me realize how small I was in comparison. I was blinded by the arrogance of sitting on top of everyone.

The despair I felt when that monster killed everyone.

The anger and helplessness I felt when my fate wasn't in my hands.

The shame I felt when my life was spared just because I was useful.

BUT NO MORE, I AM GONNA TAKE MY FATE IN MY OWN HANDS, I AM GONNA KILL THAT MONSTER AND TAKE REVENGE AND IF I HAVE TO DIE I'LL DIE WITH GLORY.

Determination burned in my eyes. The same determination that made me one of the strongest person in the world from just a mortal kingdom's general.

I devoured the Xiao Yulong's soul and replaced it with my soul clone which I made from Xiao Che's soul. It was the lowest quality soul clone that couldn't perform soul cultivation.

It wasn't so simple to just possess a body. The body would reject any other soul other than its own. So the devoured Xiao Yulong's soul acted as a glue that stuck his body and my soul clone together.

And if anyone wanted to find out anything that was wrong with his soul then he or she had to have a higher comprehension of the soul than me.

I got a little sidetracked here. So, we were going to visit that powerful girl.

I didn't know if she was friend or foe so even though she was poisoned she could kill me easily. So I had my main soul take over the body of Xiao Yulong and my soul clone take over the body of Xiao Che.

It wasn't so easy to replace the souls. My main soul was as delicate as a maiden because of severe injury. I had to put my utmost concentration during the transfer and not break my soul like a maiden's v.i.r.g.i.n.i.t.y. It took a whole half an hour just to replace the soul.

Now, even if Xiao Che dies, just my soul clone will dissipate and my main soul will remain unharmed.

The Xiao Che version of me walked out of Xiao Yulong's courtyard and returned to Xiao Che's courtyard. I felt Xia Qingyue's soul there. I could feel her pure soul.

As I was drooling over her soul I felt a slight throbbing sensation in my left hand. It was where the sky poison pearl was fused with my body. I subconsciously raised my left hand and saw impressive glimmers of rapid flashing faint light come from the Sky Poison Pearl's pattern in my palm.

"This is…."

According to the original soul's memories, the known abilities of the sky poison pearl was:

In addition to being poisonous and having a strong refining capability, the Sky Poison Pearl had an additional ability. It had the special kind of ability that could sense nearby toxic medicinal herb ingredients! If within a certain distance from a highly toxic ingredient or drug, it would perceive where it would be, emit flashing light, and point in its target's location.

There couldn't be rare or mythical herbs on this small planet but the Sky poison pearl flashed so it should be decent enough. And I need every single edge I can get. Looks like the original soul's extraordinary luck is still with me.

The Sky Poison Pearl's targeted direction was to the north… which was the direction of Xiao Clan's mountain.

Xiao Che's Courtyard's location could be said to be the most dangerous out of all the Xiao Clan's property. This is because over his courtyard walls, laid the mountains. This mountain was still actually the private property of the Xiao Clan. The occasional wandering low-level profound beast would break into the courtyard by climbing over its walls. And if one wanted to come from the back of the mountain and sneak in to make this area it's own, that would be a very good choice. However, in the face of the Xiao Clan's power in Floating Cloud City, no one has ever dared to have done that to this very day.

I directly climbed over the wall and started going towards the mountain.

The mountain area was quiet and somber, the moon in the sky was still hanging up high and the countless stars there were also not that dim. I searched with my spirit sense and felt no souls around me, I tread softly in the direction the Sky Poison Pearl was pointing toward.

The Sky Poison Pearl had reached this rapid frequency which meant that the target would be at least ten footsteps away.

Every living creature had a soul even plants. But you had to have a very high level of understanding of souls to even feel a tiny bit of plants soul. And people didn't know the uses of plants' soul so it was neglected.

This soul clone wasn't very powerful but if the plant soul was just ten footsteps away it could feel it.

I felt a very different plant soul in a hole covered with weed.

I stretched out my left palm that contained the Sky Poison Pearl towards the little hole. Under the faint green light, two blades of grass slowly appeared

"It's a Star Concealing Grass!"

I lowered my left hand with the intention of uprooting them. The Sky Poison Pearl flashed and the two blades of Star Concealing Grass were recovered, in the palm of my hand.

The high quality the medicinal herb was, the harder it was to harvest for even the slightest mistake during harvesting may cause damage to the materials and lower it's efficiency or even completely destroy its effectiveness. But with the Sky Poison Pearl, no matter how complicated the herb, one had no need to worry. The Sky Poison Pearl could harvest a herb without bringing any possible harmful side effects by using its aura, completely wrapping around a herb without any sort of spiritual power leakage.

Looking at the two blades of Star Concealing Grass that were partly hidden in the palm of my hand, I couldn't help but be excited.

The star concealing grass looked exactly like a common weed in terms of appearance but at the same time, it had a very unusual ability… it could become invisible!

In addition, the only thing in the world can completely refine this mythical herb was the one and only Sky Poison Pearl!

I couldn't help but laugh at the sight of the rare treasure. It could be a life-saving trump card. I clenched the Star Concealing Grass in the palm of my hand and sent it into the interspatial storage within the Sky Poison Pearl.

The flashing light that came from the Sky Poison Pearl stopped completely after he did that.

As I turned around to start searching for that girl again, a cold light suddenly flashed in the corner of my eye.

I stopped in my tracks to turn in the direction of the cold light. In the not too dim moonlight, I saw a vague blurry mass less than fifty meters north of him. It was an obscure white shadow.

I couldn't help but smile seeing that shadow. This soul clone was too weak to sense the girl's soul. Who knew that she was so close.

"This original soul's luck that I inherited is very strong."
