The Soulless Trap: Zhang Wei's Narrow Escape

Zhang Wei woke up after some time, feeling a sense of relief flood through him as he realized he had successfully passed the most difficult part of his cultivation. Looking into his Soul, he saw a small white ball beside his soul, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride wash over him. The essence of his soul had not changed, but the new soul had become more pure, discarding any impurities within. If his soul was once like loose sand, now it was a solid rock.

With this success behind him, Zhang Wei was now ready to move on to the next part of his training. He began to prepare for using the remnant technique that he had received from Madam Chi. He knew that the memory of a person was stored in the core part of the soul, which was called the seed of existence. It was the basis of one's life, and if one's seed of existence was replaced by another's seed, they could become someone else's avatar. This was what the soulless technique did.

To use this technique, one would create a seed of parasitization using the soulless technique and plant the seed in another's soul. The seed would then slowly devour the other person's soul without them knowing, until it was too late. Once the seed had grown, it would eat the other person's seed of existence, gaining not only their body but also their lifetime memories.

Zhang Wei had learned all of this from the soulless divine technique, but what he didn't know was that, without his knowledge, a soul parasitizing seed had already been formed in his soul. As he continued to use this technique, it would grow, and once it was fully grown, he would become an avatar of Huang Lu. He was already in danger, as those who had cultivated the technique in the past had also been tricked by this soulless divine technique. Huang Lu had named this technique "Soulless" because those who used it to make others soulless would eventually become soulless themselves.

Zhang Wei did not know about the hidden trap left in the soulless technique by Huang Lu. However, if he succeeds in purifying his soul, he will be able to overcome this trap and free himself from future danger. Even Huang Lu did not anticipate that someone like Zhang Wei would obtain this technique and possess a technique like the Boundless Sutra. This technique not only devours the souls of others like his own, but also creates a new soul free of any contamination like the seed of parasitization.

After spending a considerable amount of time in this unfamiliar world and being treated poorly by everyone, Zhang Wei had unknowingly changed from his past self. He had become indifferent to life, not only treating others' lives as worthless but also treating his own life as a bargaining chip for gaining power and wealth and changing his fate. He was ruthless to others but more ruthless to himself.

Zhang Wei began practicing the remnant technique, intending to pull out his seed of existence from his soul. The process was excruciatingly painful, 100 times more than someone tearing off his arms, but he endured it resolutely. Transplanting the seed of existence was riskier than merely transferring or copying memories, but he chose to do it anyway. Slowly, the seed started separating from his soul, and after a long time, it finally separated.

Next, Zhang Wei planted the seed in a new soul, making it his primary soul. However, the new soul was weak, similar to a newborn child, and required energy to grow. Therefore, Zhang Wei started devouring his previous main soul to give energy to the new one. After devouring almost half of the remaining soul, the new soul grew to about one-third the size of the old soul when it was undivided. Zhang Wei then stopped, knowing that it would take a long time to grow the new soul to the previous size, but now his soul was more pure than ever, like that of a newborn child and strong like a stone.

Zhang Wei then divided the remaining half of his soul into two parts, making changes to his plan. Instead of using the Soulless Technique to make his soul grow over time, he decided to make one part of the old soul into a parasitic seed to use it on Qin Tian. The rest of the soul would become his secondary soul, mainly used by the Soulless Technique. When it grows to a certain level, he will devour a part of it using the Boundless Sutra to make his primary soul grow. This process is risk-free, like raising a sheep to get wool, and he can repeat it indefinitely.

The dangers of the Soulless Technique, which even the Holy Land was unable to solve, were solved just like that in the hands of Zhang Wei, a ruthless man. However, Huang Lu's Soul Seed was still left inside Zhang Wei's old soul part. It was not devoured. This is what makes the Soul Seed of the Soulless Divine Technique different from others. Soul Seeds created by other techniques do not have self-awareness in the early period and are fixed in a certain part of the soul, making it easy to find and eliminate. However, the Soul Seed created by the Soulless Divine Technique has self-awareness and can move freely in any part of the soul to avoid dangers. It can also separate itself into multiple parts and, in the future, gain control over all the avatars one has created using this technique.

Even though the Soul Seed is still inside Zhang Wei, since he already separated the Soulless Technique by a layer from the main soul using the Boundless Immortal Sutra, any changes in his secondary soul will not have any significant effect on him. However, it is certain that Huang Lu and Zhang Wei will have a confrontation between themselves in the future when Huang Lu's Soul Seed fully matures.
