Chapter 29: Looking for the easy way out

"And for that I need to risk my life?" I asked calmly. I would be stupid to just accept this.

Stupid will, isn't this the same thing Jiang Chen was talking about ? Something I will need to advance in cultivation…fuck. I am not going to put my life at risk.

I always take the easy way out, this is not going to be different.

"No." I said, as I told him.

Am I being a little bitch? Yes. I am not risking my life. Whoever I fight, better be weaker than me.

There should be innumerable paths to power, I will find one where my life will not be at risk at any point in time.

"Master, forgive me for being rude but if you don't have the will to risk your life it is going to be difficult to advance."

"You keep mentioning this will…what does it specifically mean?" I questioned.

"It is essentially the guts to put your life on the line for power. Most people fight for power to live a better life, but what you have to remember is everyone is fighting. There are limited resources in the world, not everyone can be stronger. To have a higher battle power to get more resources, you need a strong will to put your life on the line." He explained.

"Is there a way to get a stronger will without putting my life on the line?"

"No." He replied calmly.

"Is there a easier way than this?"

"Yes, the unorthodox faction uses a specific method. When one reaches the Nascent Soul stage, they have access to their soul completely. The will is a subset of the soul, and there are techniques to absorb others souls…" explained Elder Sword.

"So, you take a person's soul and put it into yourself? What are the drawbacks?"

"Well, the obvious drawback is your soul becoming impure. Forgive me since I am not an expert with souls, but from my understanding, when you merge with the soul of someone, their personalities become yours. It also depends on the rank of the technique you use but your soul will not be perfect. And if your soul is not perfect, breaking into the Divine Lord realm will become impossible."

"Then how do the Demonic Cultivators who use this technique reach the Divine Lord realm?"

" I am not too sure but from my understanding, they have to find extremely rare pills and treasure to purify their souls after increasing their soul and will amount." He responds.

Pills and…treasure? Pffft.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA," I couldn't hold my laughter in anymore.

Pills? I have the future Alchemy God as my slave!

Treasures? I have 2 slaves with millions in luck in value, treasures won't be a problem either! It's like the heavens are begging me to take this path forward!

"What's the sect with the strongest Soul cultivation practices?" I asked.

"Well…that has to be The Demonic Sect. They should at the least have an 8 star soul cultivation technique."

The Demonic Sect…but how the hell do I get my hands on the technique now?

I am merely at the Qi-Mansion realm, I can barely manipulate Divine Lord cultivators, let alone Divine Emperors.

Does that mean I have to wait for me to use this method?

But then, wouldn't that mean I can't use the training method of the strongest sword instructor in the entire Northern Realm because I don't have a will?

Wait a minute…if the Nascent Soul realm gives complete control of the soul, and it expands the soul to train and break through to the Divine Lord realm, doesn't that mean if I have a larger and better soul now, I will have an even greater battle power in the Nascent Soul realm?

If I can get a better soul and will now, won't I be able to use the body tempering portion of the Dragon Transformation technique as well?

"This method…I need to research more about this." I murmured out loud.

The best person to ask would be Jiang Chen, to confer with him about how his pills can save me right about now.

I am not traveling all the way to the fucking sect again just cause my plans changed again.

That seemed to be happening a lot recently… I don't like not being in control.

Well no matter, for now, I need Jiang Chen and Nanbeng Choi here.

"Elder Sword, I have a task for you."

…

It didn't take long before Jiang Chen and Nanbeng Choi were in front of me, waiting.

"It's risky Brother Feng…messing with the soul is risky. However, with my alchemy knowledge, I should be able to make you pills to survive even merging with trillions of souls. I need the right ingredients, that's all, and I can even kill gods!" He exclaimed with pride.

"I can definitely find you treasures Brother Feng. I have a bit of luck while hunting for treasures." Nanbeng Choi said.

Obviously, you're the clone of an immortal, they all should have absurd luck.

"Now, all I need is a technique of the highest value of soul arts…" I murmured out loud.

"Why not trade with The White Dragon Merchant Association ?" Elder Sword asked.

"Will they have access to high level soul arts from The Demonic Sect?" I questioned.

"Trust me master, as long as you can pay the price, they have access to everything. I just don't know if we have something of value to give them…" Elder Feng said.

At that, I smirked. Something of value? Isn't Alchemy one of the most profitable professions in every realm?

"I don't think we have a problem with that. Jiang Chen, can you spare any 9 star pill recipes?"

"Brother Feng, I think for this, we should go for something beyond that." He said with a slight smirk on his face.
