Chapter 909: Chapter 776: Equal Soul Contract
Sign a soul contract?
Of course not. Chu Mu himself is a Soul Pet Master; how could he sign a contract with someone else?
However, the ensuing problem gave Chu Mu a huge headache. It seemed that Zhan Ye, Ye, and Little Zhe Dragon were busier, and he had no idea where they went that restricted spiritual connections, making it impossible for Chu Mu to summon them.
Little Mo Xie, Qin, Ning, Ghost Monarch, and Demon Tree were all getting restless in their Soul Pet Space. If they didn’t let them out, not only would they be uncomfortable, but their strength would not progress at all.
“Let’s get out of here first.” Chu Mu glanced at the ten White Nightmare Demons and spoke.
These ten White Nightmare Demons noticed that their king was different from before, their gazes looking strange as they whispered to each other.
However, what the White Nightmare Demons recognized was the formidable power of the Silver Demon. The Nightmare Demon Ruler had been in the Invincible Emperor Realm for too long. It had always yearned to break through to the Dominator level like its king but has not had the chance.
This time, they left the Tenth Level Tribe and followed the king to the human realm, hoping to break through this bottleneck…
Chu Mu naturally knew the purpose of the Nightmare Demon Ruler who followed him, but looking at this group of terrifying White Nightmare Demons, even Demi-demonic Chu Mu felt a headache of his own.
The strength of these ten half-demons was indeed quite powerful, and they were Chu Mu’s most loyal subordinates during his journey from the Southern Forbidden Region to the human realm.
If they were in the Forbidden Domain, Chu Mu could rely on them to do as he pleased.
The problem was that they were in the human realm, and having these ten White Nightmare Demons was too conspicuous, especially since Chu Mu had recently angered a woman from the Soul Covenant with an extremely powerful force.
Chu Mu was sure that Heavenly Consort would not take long to bring the Soul Covenant’s experts to destroy him. With the presence of this group of White Nightmare Demons, it was easy to be discovered.
So, Chu Mu felt that it would be best to head to the Soul Hall first, gather some reinforcements from the three major palace forces, and prevent Heavenly Consort from acting recklessly.
…
“Old Fox isn’t here, I need to buy a map…”
…
“Almost forgot, I can’t enter the city for now…”
The ten demons looked up at their king, who shook his head and sighed. They were confused and didn’t know what the king was talking about.
…
Unable to summon Soul Pets, unable to enter human cities, and not even knowing where he is right now.
After several days of thinking, Chu Mu had no choice but to reconsider the issue of a soul contract.
“Brother, if you won’t be my Soul Pet, let’s sign an equal soul contract. Actually, there’s no difference. I still don’t know where my other Soul Pets have run off to.” Ning Man’er pouted.
“Equal soul contract?” This was Chu Mu’s first time hearing about the concept.
Soul Pet Masters’ soul contracts had some degree of coercion. After a successful soul contract signing, the Soul Pet Master could command the Soul Pet, and as long as the strength gap wasn’t too large, the Soul Pet would not resist.
Even the soul contract signed with the Defecting Girl was a normal one. Chu Mu had never heard of an equal soul contract before.
“This equal soul contract isn’t a human soul contract. It comes from the World Monarch Tree.”
“The World Monarch Tree isn’t a Soul Pet. It’s just a plant that has grown for countless years and gained some consciousness. It has no combat ability, but it can grant powerful strength to many creatures, causing some creatures with ill intentions to want to take over or destroy the World Monarch Tree and enjoy its resources alone.”
“To prevent this situation from happening and to allow the World Monarch Tree to exist eternally, the tree will sign equal soul contracts with some upright and powerful creatures. These creatures have great strength, and after signing equal soul contracts with the World Monarch Tree, their thoughts, souls, and actions won’t be affected. However, when the World Monarch Tree is attacked, they must appear and protect it.”
“As a return, the World Monarch Tree will give the spirit items containing its immense energy to these powerful creatures who have signed equal soul contracts with it, allowing them to receive corresponding benefits.” Ning Man’er explained the concept of equal soul contracts to Chu Mu in one breath.
Chu Mu had heard legends about the World Monarch Tree, but from this girl’s words, it seemed that the World Monarch Tree truly existed. Moreover, the so-called powerful creatures were probably at least at the Dominator level!
There are only a handful of Dominator-level powerhouses among humans, so it’s no wonder that the World Monarch Tree became a legend since humans can’t possibly touch it.
“So you’re saying you have the ability to sign equal soul contracts with creatures?” Chu Mu looked at this mysterious girl and asked.
“Mhm, mhm. Actually, whether I sign it or not doesn’t make much difference to me. Most Soul Pets would protect me anyway. But when I’m being chased by people like now, I need someone as strong as you, Brother, to protect me. In return, I can help enhance the strength of your Soul Pets,” Ning Man’er said.
Indeed, Ning Man’er’s current level wasn’t qualified to talk about enhancing Chu Mu’s strength, but helping his Soul Pets improve their strength was quite easy.
Chu Mu thought about it carefully and it seemed like there were no other losses besides needing to protect this girl when necessary. Furthermore, Chu Mu could tell that she indeed had some special power, and it had many benefits for both Chu Mu’s soul sense and his Soul Pets’ strength enhancements.
After understanding the situation, Chu Mu finally agreed to sign an equal soul contract with the girl.
When Ning Man’er saw Chu Mu nod in agreement, her face broke into a lovely smile and said, “I have another powerful brother now. Maybe it won’t be long before I can have a guardian god like the World Monarch Tree, wherever I am!”
Although it was an equal soul contract, Chu Mu still had to offer one of his own. Fortunately, Chu Mu had spare soul contracts and was temporarily unable to obtain new soul pets, so giving up this contract essentially gave him an extra soul, which was a good deal.
…
After Ning Man’er’s spirit occupied his fourteenth soul contract, Chu Mu could feel a special spiritual connection with her. Through this connection, Chu Mu could see her pure heart and soul, devoid of any impurities.
At first, Chu Mu would still have some habitual vigilance towards the mysterious Ning Man’er, but after establishing the equal soul contract, he found that she was as pure as a water-blue gemstone, like a little fairy. It was difficult to imagine such a spotless girl in a world filled with filth, competition, and interest. Perhaps this was the reason she could be recognized by the legendary World Monarch Tree.
“Brother, your experience is so heartbreaking, but you have so many soul pets that people envy.” After establishing the equal soul contract, Ning Man’er couldn’t see Chu Mu’s past, but she could feel that his soul had weathered many storms.
Chu Mu smiled and gently stroked the girl who had no worries, no troubles, and no sadness. He found it really hard to hurt her…
The possession of the half-demon soul was slowly released, and Chu Mu took a deep breath, and recited the summoning spell with some excitement.
As a Soul Pet Master, the summoning spell should be very familiar, and it would be impossible to get it wrong.
However, Chu Mu’s spell kept going awry at this moment, until Ning Man’er caught Chu Mu’s trembling hand, did he finally complete his summoning.
The Sin Flame burned an alluring and familiar pattern, and every spell symbol in the pattern was so familiar…
The Sin Flame warmed up, and a delicate body with silver fur slowly appeared amidst the dark red flame.
Demon Qi overflowed, and the silver nine-tailed figure swayed in the flames. Staring at the soul pet that slowly emerged from the pattern, Chu Mu’s feelings at this moment were as excited as when he first summoned a soul pet, and he was beyond words.
“Woo woo woo~~~~~~~~~~”
Little Mo Xie, in Chu Lian’s form, had her silver body covered in noble and gorgeous Sin Marks. Her fluffy ears perked up, and her agile eyes shimmered with a crystal-like luster.
“Woo woo woo~~~~~” Little Mo Xie leaped out of the Sin Flame pattern, landing on Chu Mu’s shoulder. Her nine adorable little tails wrapped tightly around Chu Mu’s neck, looking unwilling to let go.
The small weight on his shoulder, the itch from the soft fur brushing against his skin, and the slick touch of a wet nose on his cheek from time to time, made Chu Mu feel truly alive again, all his troubles washed away.
“Woo woo woo~~~”
“Alright, alright, didn’t I wake up?” Chu Mu tilted his head, looking at the crying and playful Little Mo Xie, and flashed a bright smile.
When something one has taken for granted is lost, the heart breaks.
Perhaps this was the reason he had been lost and lifeless for the past year…
…
Ning Man’er didn’t tell Chu Mu a single lie.
After the equal soul contract was signed, Chu Mu separated his human spirit from the demon through his spiritual connection with Ning Man’er. The demon fell asleep in his third soul contract, and Chu Mu regained his status as a Soul Pet Master.
From now on, Chu Mu can not only transform into half-demon at will, but also summon four more soul pets to fight for him!
Chu Mu knew that the power of the half-demon was indeed very strong, but it was not enough to contend with the entire Soul Covenant.
If Chu Mu wanted to improve his half-demon strength, he would have to strengthen his demon and improve his own soul sense.
The demon was actually the white demon, which had grown to an invincible peak emperor level, and Chu Mu’s soul sense had reached the level of a six thoughts soul emperor. For the white demon to further improve its strength, the only way was to increase Chu Mu’s soul sense.
And the only way to improve soul sense was to increase Chu Mu’s soul pets’ strength!
If Chu Mu wanted to improve his spirit to a higher level, it was estimated that it would be difficult without his soul pets achieving high-level emperor or peak emperor status.
So, the next task was to make his own soul pets invincible within the emperor realm, and to rekindle Little Mo Xie’s fighting spirit to mutate again and reach the dominator level…
Zhan Ye, Ye, and Little Hiding Dragon would definitely return, and Chu Mu believed that they would become the kings in their hearts when they returned!
Once all soul pets are improved and reunited, it will be time to march towards Wanxiang City and watch the defecting girl kneel before him!!
