Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class

Chapter 242: Masefield’s Confidence

After examining the entire palace, Qin Chuan walked back to Masefield.

Presently, there wasn’t a single piece of intact skin on Masefield’s body. Instead, it was as if someone had peeled off a layer of skin, making him look particularly disgusting.

Qin Chuan chuckled and said, “Stop acting. Why did you make yourself suffer?”

Masefield glanced at Qin Chuan and said weakly, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Qin Chuan laughed again. “It seems like you want to continue acting. Not bad.”

After he spoke, Qin Chuan formed seals with a hand and hollered, “Spirit Detention!”

Qin Chuan spat out a word, “Detain.”

After he said “Detain,” the seal rapidly expanded and circled above the sealed nutritional cabins in the hall.

When the size of the word expanded enough to cover the cabins, it landed and covered them like a blanket.

At this moment, these sealed nutrition cabins began to shake intensely, letting out miserable cries.

And then, transparent humanoid objects flew out.

These transparent objects were souls.

Under Qin Chuan’s control, these souls were fused together and placed into a True Qi sphere.

These souls were roared and charged against the sphere.

But it was clearly in vain.

At this moment, Masefield was no longer calm.

Qin Chuan said, “I admit that I underestimated you in the past. But please don’t underestimate me.”

“I know. You’re powerful.”

“So?

“You put your sights on immortal cultivators, wanting to take over their bodies to make yourself stronger?”

Qin Chuan’s eyes flickered with killing intent.

“That’s right. I want to become stronger.

“When the immortal cultivators appeared, I knew that my chance had come.”

Masefield grew louder. He was almost roaring, and his weak eyes turned feverish.

He yearned for power and enjoyed the feeling of having the world in his grasp.

When he saw the crazed look on his face, Qin Chuan spoke calmly, “To be honest, you are much luckier than the others.”

“I’ve been searching for this immortal cultivation site, but I didn’t expect you to come across it. Furthermore, it’s so well preserved.

“I’m curious to know what you got from this place.”

Masefield chuckled and recalled, “About five hundred years ago, I came to this desert because I killed someone and was avoiding arrest.

“But I was swept into a sandstorm midway.

“At that time, I thought I was going to die, but I unexpectedly arrived here.

“When I saw this place, I was shocked. I thought it was some treasure ground.

“After searching around for a while, I found an exquisite jade box.

“There was a green fruit the size of an apple inside. It was glowing with an intoxicating fragrance.

“I was starving. Without thinking, I ate the fruit in one bite.

“The fruit is something I will never forget in my life. It was very sweet, just like honey.

“After eating the green fruit, I fell asleep.

“When I woke up, I found myself floating in the air, but my body was on the ground.

“I was surprised. I thought I was dreaming, but after a long time, I was still in this state.

“I thought that it must be because I ate that green fruit.

“After calming down, I came to an understanding.

“My soul was floating in the air, and my body was lying on the ground.

“I tried to return to my body. But, as my soul had been left for too long, my body had long since turned cold. At first, I struggled to move. Later, I returned to normal.

“Subsequently, I left this place. I heard about the stories regarding cultivation that was circulating in the East.

“At that time, I concluded that cultivation existed.

“For the past few hundred years, I have been searching for immortal cultivators, but to no avail.

“However, I had always believed that cultivation still existed in this world.

“As it stands, I was correct.

“To be honest, I’ve long suspected your identity as an immortal cultivator.”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan chuckled. “What do you mean?”

He was not in a hurry to kill Masefield. He would listen to what he could say first.

Masefield took a breath, then said, “You’ve always used the Land Immortals of martial arts to conceal your identity as an immortal cultivator.

“However, I have lived for more than five hundred years. When martial arts was still flourishing, I was fortunate enough to encounter a true Land Immortal.

“Martial experts like Land Immortals have already surpassed mortals. They can break mountains, split rivers with their hands, and soar through the sky like divine beings.

“At that time, I attempted to seize their bodies. However, their souls were much stronger than I had imagined. I didn’t succeed. Instead, my soul was severely injured.

“However, after my soul recovered, martial arts declined.

“After that, you appeared out of nowhere.

“However, there was still a gap between you and the Land Immortals that I knew.

“You are much more powerful than them.

“Therefore, I suspected that you were not a martial arts expert at all. It was very likely that you were an immortal cultivator.

“Only immortal cultivators have such great power.

“Sure enough, when the monsters attacked, the immortal cultivators appeared.

“I thought there would only be a few people. I didn’t expect such a large group.

“Later on, you too came forward and even showed the world how powerful you were.

“I admit, you are very powerful, far beyond my imagination.

“However, if I can seize the body of an immortal cultivator, it’s only a matter of time before I surpass you.”

After hearing Masefield’s final words, Qin Chuan smiled.

“You sure are confident!

“Who gave you the confidence? Is it that mysterious fruit or Auntie Liang[1]?”

Masefield spoke seriously, “I knew you wouldn’t spare my clan or me if I killed your disciples.

“But I’m not afraid.

“My soul can take over someone else’s body. For five hundred years, my footprints have been all over the world. I have countless identities.

“I have been a monarch, a religious leader, a marshal, and so on…

“I think you know already, but I don’t just have this one soul.

“To tell you the truth, eight of the world’s top ten consortiums are under my control. The same goes for the Western powers.

“If you kill me, I can’t guarantee what will become of the world.”

Masefield was confident when he said this.

Over the centuries, he had learned how to use his own soul through constant attempts.

His soul could split like a cell, but it would take about 50 years for the split soul to become normal.

Moreover, the information and thoughts of all of his souls were connected. It was equivalent to having another Masefield for every soul that split out.

Masefield had existed for more than 500 years. According to calculations, he had as many as 500 split souls.

In other words, there are more than 500 Masefields in this world.

Qin Chuan naturally thought of this as well.

The moment he saw Masefield, he knew that killing this person was difficult.

Qin Chuan also didn’t expect that there would still be something left behind in the ruins of this cultivation sect—the green fruit.

After Masefield ate that fruit, his soul changed and actually became a primordial spirit.

For immortal cultivators, their souls would only transform into primordial spirits when they reached the Soul Splitting realm.

But Masefield had achieved it just by eating an unknown fruit.

He was extraordinarily lucky.

If he had a better moral character, he could have become the main character.

Unfortunately, he had taken the wrong path.
