How Much For Your Soul

Shen Yue awoke relaxed and ready to spend a solid week in his personal Realm cultivating. He needed to reach the gold rank as quickly as he could. Only after creating a fail-proof slave technique could he proceed with his next plans.

The only thing that could threaten him in the Tiny world were the few Spiritual Gods that had survived the endless conflicts between Demon Beasts and Humans. There were also those that had remained neutral like the Nether Lord.

Now that Shen Yue had the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal Pendant, he could circumvent the Tiny World's laws and let his men reach the Heavenly Fate cultivation level. But he was about to give that much power to someone that he could not control.

Others might believe in trusting people, but Shen Yue had seen first hand what humans were capable of. Nobody wants to be forever under someone else's command. If they were given a chance to start deciding their own future, they would take it! This could not happen, even his own wives were capable of suddenly turning love to hate and stabbing him in the back. There were countless cases of divorce and love tragedies involving betrayal.

No, Shen Yue would be giving them no chance at changing their minds. Although this would be taking their free will away, who cares? They were now his wives and as chauvinistic as it sounds, this was par for the course in this universe. He would still love them, even if their thoughts were influenced by his technique, they would not know any better.

Shen Yue suddenly laughed, if someone from Earth heard his thoughts he would instantly be labelled with terrible names such as a rapist or fascist. But who cares? They say that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, he could totally agree with this maxim. Shen Yue had already found that his actions were becoming more egocentric and ruthless. By wielding the ability to decide the fate of millions of people, it had diminished his morality from Earth.

With Heavenly Fate experts under his control, they would be able to subdue all of Tiny World. His first obstacle would be Zhu Long, Spiritual God of Ice, and the strongest Demon Beast in the Divine Continent. The novel described him as concealing himself from the Lord of Nether until he can fully grasp his Power of Law, which is manifested as seven lotuses.

Shen Yue could only think of his seven ice lotuses as his fate souls, giving him the rank of a 7-Fate Heavenly Fate expert. When he became a Spiritual God, he already had the power to kill over three hundred legend rank experts. Now that he had been training for thousands of years there was no way any amount of legend ranks could kill him.

But hundreds of Heavenly Fate Realm experts were a different matter. Although none of them would be his equal in might, Shen Yue had heaps of ways to use them to defeat Zhu Long. After all, why would you waste resources of a Spiritual God? Nie Li used the Demon Spirit Devouring Technique on low-quality demon spirits, imagine the power he could extract from a God?

But first Shen Yue needed to reach the gold rank. With a storage ring full of supplies, he once again entered the realm with Ziyun. As he had anticipated, the area had expanded. There was an additional tree, and the pond and land had doubled in size.

After the first level of the spatial realm has been unlocked, there was an energy-enhancing tree which will bear ten fruit every hundred years. Each of the fruit would be able to grant a human an additional two hundred and fifty kilos of strength. However, the effects would be useless after the consumption of two of them.

As for the second level, there would be an agility-enhancing tree, which will also bear ten fruit every hundred years. Each of the fruit would be able to increase one's original speed by fifty percent and was able to be used as an alchemy ingredient.

A person would only be able to enjoy the permanent increase in speed and agility of consumption of two fruits. However, if you eat a third fruit, then your swiftness will increase by another fifty percent for fifteen minutes.

Unfortunately, these fruits were not heaven-defying and could only alter a mortal body. Otherwise, Shen Yue would wait until reaching a higher Dao of Dragon realm and then double his speed! But the better his foundation, the easier it will be to cultivate. So without fear of wasting resources, he ate two of each fruit.

Shen Yue could immediately feel the energies cleansing his body and letting him feel both stronger and lighter! Taking a step forward, he noticed that his sense of balance was off. He would have to spend some time later to regain his coordination, but first, he would increase his rank by a few stars!

Two hundred hours passed in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal and Shen Yue Felt like he was invincible. He had reached the fifth star of silver rank! Even Ziyun had strengthened her soul to the equivalent of a black-gold expert! Although Ziyun didn't have to worry about cultivating her body.

He did not know why it took Nie Li and his friends so long to reach the gold rank. After all, with a powerful technique, they were able to absorb Qi faster than others. To reach silver rank only needed five hundred soul force and gold required five thousand!

Higher levels would take longer, but the novel makes it seem as if accumulating the million soul force needed for each legend star, takes as long as reaching silver rank! Even with the need to condition the body and meridians to accept the flow of Qi, this difference seems ludicrous.

He could understand that with practice and tempering the body that the flow rate would increase, but it seemed that the author might have drawn it out for the plot. After all, millions of people could not even reach gold rank with the trash techniques available.

The only reason Shen Yue had not reached the gold rank already was because of the complexity of his technique. Not only did he need to gather soul force, but it needed to be divided evenly between all of his elements! It almost seemed as if he had twenty-nine separate little mouths devouring the Qi he had accumulated.

Exiting the realm with Ziyun, he was about to retreat to his bathing pool to rewind and relax for the rest of the day, when he was informed by Mei that he had a visitor waiting. It seemed that now Ye Ziyun had officially dumped him, he was back on the market as the most eligible groom. Huyan Lanruo was the bravest one of those eyeing him.

Luckily she had only arrived twenty minutes ago, so Shen Yue had Mei keep her entertained while he quickly washed off a week's dirt. By the time he reached the grand hall where they were waiting, the women had entered into a chilly mood. It seemed that their two personalities clashed and they developed an instant dislike for each other.

Not bothered too much by their mood, Shen Yue sized up the pink haired beauty. She certainly fit the description of the most beautiful and sexy girls of the younger generation. With an ample bosom and revealing clothes, she was definitely his type.

The novel described her as very upfront, bold and with a short temper. It seems that she is a bit spoiled and pampered by her father, who has difficulty controlling her. Because of her personality, her father has never been able to marry her off, and she has become used to getting everything she wants.

This didn't bother Shen Yue in the slightest, as he was only a day away from being able to curb her emotions with his slave technique. In fact, he was hoping she would try and influence him with her Snow Sakura demon beast, giving him a reason to act!

"I'm sorry I took so long. I'm afraid you caught me training and I had to make myself presentable so as not to give offence to such a beauty."

--------------------------------------------------------------

Giving Su Mei one last icy stare, Huyan Lanruo turned her attention to the talk of the City. Rumours of his allure seemed to be justified as she took in his flawless complexion and long, glistening blue-black hair, still wet from bathing. He was quite tall for a thirteen-year-old, almost looking like he was the same age as her!

It seems that she had not wasted a trip. Hopefully, she will be able to charm the rich, pretty boy before any others can. If only that tiresome housemaid left, she didn't want her interrupting when she started seducing Shen Yue. This is the reason she didn't bring any guards.

"Hello Shen Yue, my name is Huyan Lanruo. I was sorry to hear about the disgraceful behaviour of Ye Ziyun and thought that you might need some comfort after this unhappy incident. I hope that I have not intruded!" She said with a seductive voice.

"No, not at all. I was using the pain to concentrate on training, so a break to relax with you will be welcomed." Shen Yue said as if enticed by her beauty.

Seeing his obvious attraction towards her Lanrou thought that maybe this wouldn't be as hard as she thought. Her uncle Huyan Ming, a master alchemist that had transferred to the new alchemy guild, had cautioned her on her approach to seducing Shen Yue. But he had also given his blessing to catch the only person in the City with a personal relationship to Lord Voldemort.

After two hours of inane chatter and practically exposing her body, she had only been able to make him slightly blush. He did not lay a single hand on her or make any confessions of undying love! Her only win was sending the maid out with a reason for a more private conversation. To not be able to seduce this boy with her sexy body was inconceivable!

After she had forcefully made a move and kissed him, he had put her at arm's length and asked her to maintain a composure befitting a maiden! This had been too much for Lanruo, she had never been denied! She was the one always turning down drooling boys, not the other way round!

Losing control of her emotions, she summoned her Snow Sakura demon spirit and used its charming abilities against Shen Yue. She had forgotten the warnings of her uncle and tried to ensnare the patriarch of the Nemesis Family in illusions.

Unfortunately, this is what Shen Yue was waiting for.
