Soul Servants

Chu Feng was elated by the thought of having a Peak Soul Spirit Realm Cultivator under his wing, but his joy was soon replaced by bitterness as found out the condition to unlock the seal.

The Ring of Eternity at a time was treasure that no one wanted and for many years it was considered a cursed treasure, the reason for that was whenever anyone tried to refine the Ring they will either die or their cultivation will go astra. It was also rumoured that some of them might disappeared never to be seen again. Chu Feng however knew what happened to them, as they were sealed and enslaved in the Ring itself.

The Ring was considered a demonic artifact until Eternal Emperor got it and used it for his own use and then after that it became one of the most sought treasure that is out there. Although there were many other means to enslave someone, so one might argue why was Ring of Eternity so sought after. The reason for that is, as Ring of Eternity can enslave a Cultivator who has more power then the one who used it to do so. The Eternal Emperor used the Ring to enslave a Cultivator who was whole Realm apart.

But all of this wasn't the reason why Chu Feng felt bitterness, but to unlock any seal placed on by the Ring can only be lifted by someone who had learned Eternal Seal Arts.

Eternal Emperor himself used a secret and forbidden method to learn and only then he was able to comprehend First Layer of Eternal Seal Arts. Chu Feng was not troubled by this as he already knew how to learn Eternal Seal Arts, but to begin learning this technique one must have the Cultivation of Soul Spirit Realm.

But Chu Feng only had 9th Layer of Golden Core Realm and that was when he had this encounter with Ring, otherwise it might take years to reach this layer if this all went normally.

The difference between two Realms was that of one Layer, but strength wise it was that of Heaven and Earth, a Cultivator who is at Soul Spirit Realm can use his or her Qi to surround themself and fly up in sky.

Chu Feng, if wanted to breakthrough to Soul Spirit Realm, then he had form a Soul Spirit of his own and that is no easy task. Soul Spirit was special existence for any cultivator who is in Soul Spirit Realm. Soul Spirit can be in any form, from weapons to divine beasts to other beings. It is said that a person Soul Spirit of a person is the manifestation of that person's soul. Soul which is said to be the real form of any cultivator powers and ideas.

To breakthrough to Soul Spirit Realm, there are three ways that can be opted and these three methods are the one which Chu Feng learned from Eternal Emperor's memories.

First, was with the help of Soul Awakening Pill, In this world there were many ways of cultivation and one can choose to walk any path. The path of Alchemy was one of them, they are cultivator whose main focus is on creating pills and other things, these pills are used to simplify the Cultivation process. In other words Cultivation is a long and harsh journey which one choses to become immortal and Alchemy is an essential support which helps one to achieve it.

The Soul Awakening Pill is easy to make and from the memories of Eternal Emperor, Chu Feng also knew material required for the making.

Second, was the method which was opted by many, and also this was the method which is actually used by majority of Golden Core Realm Cultivator around him to breakthrough to Soul Spirit Realm, In this method, a Peak Golden Core Realm Cultivator refines three Demonic Core of Demon Beasts who have equal strength.

In this world their are many races and in them Human and Monster Race are most prominent of them and just like Humans they can also Cultivate, however there Cultivation manly focuses on Body and honing there initiate abilities.

But this method of breakthrough is not without risk and danger. The most particular problem was that of finding a Demon Beasts equal to the strength of Peak Golden Core Realm and then to kill them, is easy to say but difficult to accomplish. And even this not enough that can guarantee ones success in their attempt to breakthrough, as Demonic Qi present inside a Demonic Core can cause Cultivation to go berserk.

Third, which is useless to Chu Feng as this method involves ones bloodline. Bloodline is relatively an special existence to anyone and it also the basis of any powerful familes and Sects. Eternal Emperor had seen many people in his lifetime that broke through with the help of their Bloodlines.

Chu Feng in this regard knew that, this method was not useful to him.

Chu Feng thought for a moment and decided to go for the Soul Awakening Pill as it had less risk and high chance of success.

He opened his eyes and was ready to go out of the Secret room, when he noticed that he is naked, this caused Chu Feng to not know whether to cry or to laugh.

After some time Chu Feng came out of his room in the same Long corridor, there was a beautiful maid was standing waiting for him.

"Your Majesty...", she greeted quickly.

"Hmm...Go Call Old Bai to my study....", Chu Feng said with a charming smile. One have to admit although Chu was now thirty years old, he was very handsome and carried an heroic aura around him.

"Y-Yes....", replied maid clearly dazed by Chu Feng's smile.

Chu Feng proceeded towards his study.

...........

Old Bai arrived very soon after his arrival and after he greeted him and sat down in nearby seat, Chu Feng said,

"Old Bai.....any news from Fire Origin Sect..",

"Huh?....No new news has been reported....", replied Old Bai clearly confused.

"Oh!!..is that so....", Chu Feng mumered.

"You see Old Bai....I had an accidental breakthrough...",

"Really!!...", exclaimed Old Bai.

Nodded Chu Feng.

"Good..Good...now you are a 6th Stage of Golden Core Realm...Wait...This is...", at the end of his sentence did Old Bai discovered that Chu Feng was emitting an Aura which was equal to his own.

"Y-You..",

"Yes, I have broken through 9th Stage of Golden Core Realm...", replied Chu Feng to a shocked Old Bai.

Old Bai jaw dropped so low that they were about to touch the floor, his eyes so wide as if he has seen a Ghost.

"Cough....", coughed Chu Feng after sometime to attract Old Bai attention.

"Congratulations..... Your Majesty....", Old Bai congratulated him with pure joy on his face.

Old Bai had been with Chu Feng from his birth and he was like a second father to him and Old Bai also considered him as his own, seeing him achieve strength equal to him didn't make feel distraught, but rather a joy felt by every father when his offsprings sucessed him.

"Only if your Father was here to witness this...", said Old Bai with tears in his eyes.

Chu Feng also had a downcast expression hearing about his father.

His father, was the former King of Crimson Flame Kingdom and only Soul Spirit Realm Cultivator in Kingdom, however his father disappeared two months ago.

He only left a note behind which read,

"I am going out to look for your mother and your siblings...",
