Meanwhile, Mark and the other top ten outer court disciples entered closed-door cultivation to break through to the next realm and enter the inner court.

Within the hall in his assigned apartment, Arthur sat down with one leg crossed over the other on a chair as he hummed an unfamiliar song.

His arms rested on both sides of the chair and his fingers were continuously tapping on it.

*tap-tap!*

"Hmm..."

Arthur was thinking about a lot of things that he needed to do as he had not properly planned his actions the way he would have liked.

He thought about how there might be other ways he could have gotten what he wanted from the Heavenly Sword Sect, but it all came down to using the power of the Emperor.

But Arthur decided against that as he wanted to do things his own way and he never liked asking the Emperor for things even if he knew the old man would get them for him.

The small amount of memories he had about his past self was what helped him blend into this world but they had not done much in shaping his character and mind for the real cruelty and danger of the cultivation world.

\'It seems that I really need to travel the continent and gather experience.\'

\'Also, I have not yet practiced the skills that I received from the Sword Tower.\'

\'Aside from that I still need to learn the drawing of rune formations and seals, as it is something that will help me break the seal that the Eye of the Heavenly Dao put in my soul.\'

\'Now, concerning Alchemy...\' Arthur remembered his latest \'trophy\'.

"Come out, Cora."

*Swoosh!*

The devastatingly beautiful maiden appeared in front of him.

"What do you want?" She asked with a hint of bitterness.

Cora was the name of the lady who tried to bind Arthur\'s soul to serve her.

Although in her words she said it was only \'temporary\' and that she would have freed him eventually.

But how long would it have taken till then?

Arthur squint his eyes at the way she responded, "Is that how you will address me?"

Cora furrowed her brows and bit her lips, "Do I have to?" She asked softly.

She could not bring herself to address Arthur as her master. She felt it would be a big blow to her pride and dignity.

"You don\'t want to? Do you deem me unworthy to be your master? Or maybe I should make that a command?" Arthur asked three questions in succession.

He could make that a command and she would not be able to stop herself from obeying due to the soul seal.

But Arthur wanted to present her with the illusion of \'choice\' where she really doesn\'t have any.

Cora wasn\'t a young woman like her appearance would suggest.

The number of years she had lived was something the current Arthur can not compare to at all.

She had seen a lot of things and she could see through what Arthur was trying to do but, she had no choice but to give in.

It was either she complied or she would be compelled by the seal.

Thinking about it, she sighed, "Fine...Ma...Master," Cora felt a bit of strength leave her when she called Arthur that.

It was better she did it by herself than to be controlled to do so. It will help her feel that she at least has some control over her choices.

Arthur smiled, "Now that was not so hard, was it?"

Cora didn\'t answer and just stood still.

She could only lament about her luck of meeting such an anomaly like Arthur.

\'Who is he really?\' A question she had begun to ask herself recently.

She knew nothing about Arthur and she was a bit afraid of the things he might make her do.

\'Especially...that...he won\'t do that right? Otherwise, I\'d rather damage my soul and destroy my body than let myself be defiled.\'

Just like Arthur suspected in his heart, Cora has a way to break the seal. But the cost would be the same as giving up her life.

\'It wouldn\'t have been like that if his soul or whatever that was did not tamper with my original seal. I could have broken the seal with a much lesser price to pay.\'

\'After all, it was a technique that I created based on my special physique.\'

Arthur tapped the space beside him, "Please, have a seat."

Cora obeyed this time with a complaint but she sat a distance away from Arthur.

Arthur didn\'t mind that, as things were progressing much more smoother than he expected.

Maybe it was because he was being somewhat gentle, he couldn\'t tell. But he wanted to test something.

Ever since Cora tried to put a seal in his soul, he had awakened some sort of connection with her that allowed him to sense her emotions.

"I want to ask some questions," Arthur stated.

"What do you want to know?"

"The Soul Bind technique, does it let you know when the person whose soul is bound is lying to you?"

Cora didn\'t understand why he was asking this but she shook her head, "No it does not have that function. You can only know the truth if you command for it, or compel them to speak what you want to know."

"I see..." Arthur nodded but his thoughts were elsewhere.

\'Then why can I sense what you are feeling?\' Arthur could tell what emotions Cora was feeling right now.

\'This should be because of the soul gem.\'

Arthur recalled that back then the soul gem tampered with the seal before sending it to Cora\'s soul, so that might be the reason.

But he felt that it may not be the complete truth as the soul gem also did something to his consciousness.

\'So this might be a new ability that I got from the gem, just like the Fate Sense?\'

Just as he was thinking, Cora decided to say something she wouldn\'t normally reveal on her own.

"But I can sense the emotions of those whom I seal and even access their minds to an extent and read their memories. I can also stir up any emotion that I want in them...and this is all due to my special physique."
