Chapter 957: Coincidence

After purchasing a collection of semi-mindless spirits to replace the tortured souls fueling the Ghostwood, the origin of those tormented beings became the sudden center of attention. After being captured Count Voctem was submitted to psychological manipulation and forced to give up information about his home and all his hidden resources. He cracked a bit quicker than might be expected from a Nascent Soul, but it wasnt like there was a specific time where everyone would cave under interrogation.

Voctem had reluctantly relinquished control of the Ghostwood which stripped much of his strength, but after his compliance he was given a new life on the Inner World. Given his past he would have to work for the Lang Clan so they could keep an eye on him, but it was better than death or years of suffering. Yet, it turns out Voctem was trying to plot an escape. He worked hard to build up a little trust with those keeping watch over him so he could get closer to the Ghostwood once again.

The Ghostwood was located in its own dimension and the crack in the ground that Voctem had opened was actually a pathway to the real body of the tree. The tree that sprouted out of the ground was essentially just a larger branch it extended out and not an individual tree. This quality was what Sage valued the most, but it was also what Voctem tried to take advantage of. To access the Ghostwood they had sprouted one of these large branches on the Inner World in order to begin studying it.

This heightened state of readiness lasted for decades on the Inner World until one of the people cultivating the Life Shadow Consumption technique was finally strong enough to finish off Count Voctem. In less than forty days on the outside world, a hundred years flew by on the Inner World. This wasnt very long for raising a true expert, but they only needed someone to reach the fourth rank with Life Shadow Consumption. They didnt have to duel with Count Voctem, they only needed to harvest his soul when he died.

In the 93rd year, someone finally met their requirement and was brought forth to finally finish the job. Sage mobilized the energy of the Inner World, as well as the Formation Array and poisons to put Voctem into his weakest state so that this 4th rank individual could finish off the 6th rank Voctem.

Completing the job, revenge for all those tormented souls was finally achieved. Voctems soul was collected, suddenly giving a boost to the cultivation of the Foundation Building Cultivator to push him up a few stages. Part of the Life Shadow Consumption technique was to harvest souls to improve their Cultivation speed. Something which had been done using the Demonic Beasts in the wilds of the Inner World, but was even more effective when harvesting a Nascent Soul. After the surging energy finally slowed down, Voctems soul was then placed inside the Peachwood Ring and offered to Sage. As a reward, a huge amount of Cultivation resources were given to this man, Su Ru so he could finish building his foundation and form a core. After reaching rank five, Su Ru was allowed to study laws with the Purple Mist Sect and the research team. They still had no systematic way to master the power of laws, but Su Ru would be called upon to help gather Souls in the future and so his advancement was prioritized.

When Sage looked into the Peachwood Ring, Count Voctems soul was floating around in the swirling yellow water. It wasnt alone as there were the eighteen spirit beings there waiting. Voctems shattered Nascent Soul was much more powerful than the other spirits, but they all seemed quite placid here inside the ring. The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
