Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!

"There is a way and there is not as well." Noah's words echoed in the silent room, creating a mysterious tension.

"You mean you can deal with the curse and you cannot deal with it at the same time?" Wuhan narrowed his listening to Noah's vague words. He seemingly understood what the man wanted to convey.

"I can deal with it, but there are some situations in which I cannot deal with the curse. The curse they use does not just change the mind but it also binds the soul into submission to the will of another person." Noah waved his hand, and an illusionary figure of a soul appeared in the middle of the room.

Along with the soul, a dark wisp of energy appeared in the air, moving towards the soul. As soon as the wisp of energy touched the soul, it formed a ring around the soul, binding it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The curse binds the soul and starts to affect it slowly before making the person fully submit to the caster. In this case, the caster is the person who etched the curse on their face mask." As he said those words, the colorless soul started to gain red spots that tried to move to the core of the soul.

"If only the person who cast the curse can control them, why could the person we met in that secret domain control so many people and have them worship him as some kind of god?" Wuhan immediately expressed his confusion.

"Could it be they were worshiping the mark on his face?" Xin Yan interjected with her guess, "Remember it was just one person in the whole group that was wearing that mask."

Noah nodded, hearing her conjecture, and added, "I found the same thing when I studied the curse in the past. Although I could not grasp it fully, I found out that the person wearing the mask can control the people under the curse under some conditions, but I do not know what those conditions are."

Everyone sighed at the complexity of the curse.

"This is no ordinary curse; I have never heard of such a curse in my life." Ming Ye shook his head in dejection.

"Now back to the topic of how to deal with the curse." Noah waved his hand, dismissing the gloomy atmosphere in the room.

"There are three ways to deal with the curse." Everyone focused their attention back on the hologram as the soul glowed with a bright light, and the curse ring broke like a fragile ice shard. "The brute way: if the soul is too strong to be affected by the curse, it won't affect the person in any way."

"Just how strong does the soul need to be?" Wuhan muttered with his mouth agape before looking at Noah.

"I don't know that, honestly; never thought of measuring it." Noah shrugged it off before moving to the next method.

"The next method is willpower. Willpower is something that stems from the very soul of a person. The stronger their willpower is, the longer they can withstand against the curse." The aura around Noah became more serious.

"I can save you as long as you are not affected by the curse enough that it reaches the core of your soul. In case the third method fails, keep yourself sane for as long as you can because once your soul falls prey to the curse, there is no coming back." Hearing Noah's words, everyone sucked in a cold breath. In their minds, there was just a single thought.

'The moment we slip, that is the end of us.' Everyone that was seated in that room had their own reasons to be afraid of death. Even the people who had a bloodline related to death were not any different. Everyone had one thing they were afraid to lose once they died.

Be it their family, be it their loved ones.

Death takes everything away from you…

"Sigh~" Ming Ye sighed out loud in heaviness, which brought everyone out of their trance. Xin Yan bit her lips and looked at Noah with her eyes blazing with determination.

"What is the third method?" Wuhan was the only one who did not seem much shaken by the news. He broke the silence and drew everyone's attention. Noah silently looked into his eyes for a few moments before opening his mouth to sprint.

"There is a seal— an array I made specifically for the soul that can help you block the curse from reaching the soul by acting as a temporary soul or a bait for the seal while keeping the soul away from its influence."

Everyone except Ruo'er raised their eyebrows in shock. Just now they were shocked by the complexity of the curse, now they were more shocked by seeing that the person who created something to counter the curse was standing in front of them.

"Even though I said that I can make something like that." Noah did not want to dampen their spirits, but he had to make them see the reality. "I am too weak to make that now. A lot might happen by the time I would get strong enough to make it."

"Then we have to look for a way to deal with the curse temporarily." Wuhan instantly started thinking of other things they needed to take care of.

"Oh, for that you just need to make sure to not look at the sun mask directly or touch it with your soul sense." Xin Yan and Wuhan immediately remembered the first thing Noah said after hearing and nodded in understanding.

"You may think it's easy, but fighting without your soul sense and looking at the opponent directly is not that easy. You might look back at their face by instinct. So you should all prepare for the fight as soon as possible." Noah chuckled, seeing through their mind, and clarified.

"Do you think there will be an attack like what happened years ago once more?" Wuhan finally decided to ask the question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"I feel what you told me was just an appetizer; the real attack should be coming soon in the near future." The tension in the room intensified hearing his words.
