Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao-Chapter 100 Reversal: The Technique Backfires!
================??================
'Wrong move lady,' Arthur thought and stopped his lips from curving upwards.
As the lady muttered incantations with a serious tone, along with her fingers on Arthur's forehead, a strange cold power penetrated the depths of his mind and moved silently to his soul.
Since his reincarnation Arthur had not been able to sense or enter his soul's space before.
'But this might be an opportunity,' Arthur closed his eyes and focussed on that strange cold power in his mind.
With his spirit power, he was able to sense it immediately as it stuck out in his mental space.
Arthur wanted to use this rare moment where the vibrations of the Soul Gem in his soul enhanced his spirit power and use the force invading his mind to enter the depths within where his soul was.
Slowly, Arthur went from just sensing, to get a visual of what was really going on.
Arthur's consciousness appeared in a dimly lit space.
'So this is what my mind looks like?' Arthur thought.
His consciousness didn't have any form so to speak. It was more like he was just watching things from a direct point of view.
'Wait, I can speak?' Arthur discovered another fact.
His 'thoughts' in this space were more like he was speaking out loud but at the same time not so.
'It's a bit confusing though, this experience.'
His mental ability while in this state was much faster than usual, and soon he found what he was looking for.
'There you are!'
Arthur found a six-colored stream of light moving forward at an extremely fast speed.
With a thought, his consciousness followed it as he knew where this stream of light was going.
'My soul!'
Arthur followed the stream of light and was able to not only catch up but also surpass its speed.
'Maybe it's because this is my mind,' he wondered.
'Hey, I could be said to be moving at the speed of thought right? Hehe, I will add this to my list of feats...'
Arthur finally drew close to the place where his soul was.
He entered an area that was no longer dimly lit but was bright with multi-colored light.
It was then he saw it.
His soul.
'Woah!'
Arthur was shocked when he saw what was his soul, or rather his soul's essence appearance.
A multi-colored ball of light that was so big that Arthur couldn't tell how large and encompassing it was.
'Isn't it supposed to be golden? Why is it different from my form before I reincarnated?'
'Is it because of my reincarnation? Or maybe it was because I was not yet done with assimilating the soul clones of myself that I absorbed.'
Arthur felt that the latter was a more probable conclusion given that he had just absorbed the souls and hadn't gotten used to the feeling when the frigging Eye of the Heavenly Dao showed up to bust his ass.
But aside from that, Arthur discovered that there was a blue-colored shield that was covering his soul. It was the power of the soul gem that was preventing the outburst of his soul power and only allowing a portion that Arthur can handle to flow out.
When Arthur arrived in front of his soul, his consciousness got sucked within before he could react, and then it happened.
A blue light penetrated Arthur's consciousness and he felt that his mind has been enhanced to a large degree and a qualitative change had happened to his consciousness but he had no idea what had changed.
At the same time, due to letting his consciousness sink into his soul, Arthur finally felt the power that lay dormant within.
This power felt all-encompassing, it felt grand, it felt...supreme.
'So this is the power that lies dormant within me?' Arthur was shocked by what he felt.
'It is much more than what it was when I first fused with all those souls,' this made Arthur conclude that he had indeed not completed his assimilation with the souls back then.
'Wait, maybe I can access the gems and the Nine Heavens Palace now?'
Arthur felt excitement and he tried to dive deeper into his soul as he felt that he was only around the edges of his soul.
'I can't?'
Arthur found out that he was unable to go any further than the edges.
He sighed, 'Well, I guess it can only wait.'
'Still, the gains are good, and... Our guest finally caught up, huh.'
The six-colored stream of light finally arrived before Arthur's soul and then it slowly converged and formed the figure of the woman.
Immediately her figure formed, the lady outside muttered the words, "Secret Art: Soul Bind!"
At the same time, her figure that had just appeared in Arthur's soul space extended her fingers and said the exact same thing.
"Secret Art: Soul-?!" e any closer...stay away!" She grunted and raised her head looking at Arthur with eyes filled with fear and disbelief.
She could understand how Arthur with such a weak soul could have an incomparably powerful soul.
So powerful that she could not comprehend its depth.
She cursed her luck for meeting such a fellow as she was now bound by him and she felt that this wasn't the usual soul bind.
"Hey now, I am not the bad one here remember?" Arthur sneered, finally speaking for the first time since she showed herself.
When Arthur arrived before her, she was still finding it difficult to stand up.
Arthur looked down at her with cold hers and a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
'If I didn't have a powerful soul and was just a cultivator with just a few fortuitous encounters I would have been made into this woman's slave by now!'
'So not all secret realms posing as inheritance sites are actually as they appear to be.'
'Like this, a lot of people would not even know how they died.'
'Although, I have the gems to protect me in extreme cases where I can't handle the shit I face with my own power. What if they one day decide to sit back and enjoy the show?'
'Although they are bound to me in a way, can I say that I have full control of them? No, at least not yet.'
'Those are matters for later though, for now...'
Arthur thought of these things in an instant and then focused on the feeling of connection he now has with the lady.
Holding onto that, he looked at her and asked with an authoritative tone, "Now tell me, who are you?"
A strong feeling of compulsion arose from the depths of her soul and she opened her mouth without a thought.
"I am..."

Outside the mansion, the humans and the beast men each took one part of the medicinal garden and harvested the spiritual herbs taking great care to not damage them in the process.
With the guidance of the Alchemy Association disciples, Camela and Devon, their harvesting speed was much faster than the beast men.
This was because the beast men had no one amongst them who was as knowledgeable as the disciples of the Alchemy Association. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m
So they had to be careful, but if there was anything that the beast men were not known for, it was being delicate.
"Gramor! You used too much strength now this herb is squashed!"
"How was I supposed to know it was so soft? I was only trying to feel it up a bit, you know."
"Wait, why does what you say sound so wrong, and perverted?"
"What?"
"That's true."
