Book 23, Endwar, Chapter 27 – The Nine Divine Generals
“Why would you say that they are dead?” Old Man Yuan flicked his whisk, a sht, Gonggong?”
“Yes, Master” Gonggong spoke in a low, respectful voice
Upon Gonggong say the word ‘master’, whispers broke out within both the Nuwa Alliance and the Seamless Gate Looks of pain and hatred appeared in the eyes of Ji Ning, Daoist Three Purities, and the others They wanted nothing ht now They weren’t fools; they could tell that it was Old Man Yuan behind all of this
“So it was you, Old Man Yuan, who caused therowled
“They are all my children Why speak of ‘betrayal’?” Old Man Yuan smiled
Everyone in both alliances, be it Ji Ning, Daoist Three Purities, the Lord of All Fiends, or Keeper Everwood, was coed Still, they knew that they had to maintain their calm They knew very well that this was a critical moment; they had to be even more careful than they were before Old Man Yuan’s a, and he was in control of so many major powers Once he erous than Lord Demonheart had been
“You’ve taken control of the suddenly spoke out
Soul control This was so which terrified any and every cultivator
It meant to be controlled, to lose all free will, to feel complete and slavish devotion If the master ordered the soulslave to die, the soulslave would commit suicide with a smile on his face This hat ! Once you were controlled, it h you were still alive, but you would lose all of your free will It would be no different from death
In the endless primordial chaos, there were certain supreme major poho knew soul control techniques However, they would generally only be able to use it against weaklings
By contrast, Old Man Yuan had actually been able tohis soulslaves This meant that he was most likely incredibly skilled in ways of heartforce, perhaps to the point of being an actual, terrifying Heartforce Cultivator
“He definitely is a Heartforce Cultivator” Godfiend and Witherspike were both watching from far away, and both of them were stunned Saber immediately said, “To be able to stealthily take control over soany flaws at all…this Old Man Yuan is definitely a terrifyingly powerful Heartforce Cultivator He’s eventhan Houyi”
“For someone like Houyi to appear within this local chaosworld is one thing, but how could a true Heartforce Cultivator appear here? Aren’t they supposed to be extreacies left behind for others?” Godfiend Witherspike felt his heart grow cold
No Heartforce Cultivator could be underestimated
Heartforce…it was ephee
The cultivators of the endless primordial chaos were primarily divided up into three major paths: FiendGod Refiners, Ki Refiners, and the mysterious Heartforce Cultivators! FiendGod Refiners pri the body, Ki Refiners focused on cultivating their Iy, and Heartforce Cultivators focused on cultivating the ephemeral power of heartforce
“Just before you joined the Sea said “You suddenly launched a heartforce attack againstto take control over me as well?”
“Yes” Old Man Yuan smiled “Your rise to poas simply far too sudden, h, I didn’t have any time to slowly infiltrate your soul defenses To be honest, I acted against you in a brutish and rather inelegantwould beand fuxi, I sloorked on the the about it I tried to do the saata as well These locals naturally weren’t able to notice a thing, but their hearts were far too powerful There was no way for me to truly control them”
“What?” Three Purities and Tathagata were both shocked
So Old Man Yuan had tried to secretly take control of the two of theainst it without even knowing about it
This was si
“Ahaha, you local yokels…how could you possibly understand how truly forlanced at the distant Houyi with a look of praise in his eyes “But for soe in a backwater chaosworld is quite adacies at all, but you were actually able to coh you are a child when compared to true Heartforce Cultivators, you are still quite impressive”
“Heartforce Cultivator?” Lord Tathagata’s face changed “You are a Heartforce Cultivator?”
They had acquired quite a bit of information from alien Outsiders they had slain They knew a bit about what Heartforce Cultivators were and knew exactly how terrifying they were
“Yes” Old Man Yuan s to look at the distant Houyi “Houyi, I actually wanted to take control over you a long tio I kneould be easy, because your spirit has an obvious weakness…her” Old Man Yuan waved his hand, causing an absolutely peerless beauty to appear by his side The woman looked towards Old Man Yuan with absolute adoration on her face
“Chang’e” Houyi’s face changed 1
“As I said, your flaw is obvious Although your heartforce is powerful, I’m completely convinced that I could take control over you Alas…after the war that ended the Primordial Era, I was never able to find you I had no chance to seize your soul” Old Man Yuan shook his head “So you were hiding by Subhuti’s side all this time You hid yourself quite well”
“What did you do to Chang’e…” Houyi was enraged
