At that moment, something suddenly occurred to him.
Daochen stared at Chaos Heaven in surprise. "You transferred the shackles on you to your attendant. You never wore them away, did you?"
"That must be it. Otherwise, Attendant 99's soul and will were tempered to their limits, but that would have had nothing to do with you."
"So the one who bore the shackles from the beginning was Attendant 99."
Chaos Heaven stared at him in shock. He had never expected this fellow to deduce the truth so easily.
"You're quite impressive."
"I'll tell you the truth. My body is extremely unusual. I transferred all my shackles to my attendant, allowing my cultivation to soar all the way to the level of an Ultimate Powerhouse."
"But once I reached that level, I couldn't break through any further because part of my soul was missing."
"Attendant 99 actually had shackles of his own, but because his soul was incomplete, he had very few-only a portion of them."
"I did all this to circumvent the laws."
"And I succeeded. After countless trials, Attendant 99 finally wore through every shackle on him. Once he merges back into my soul, we will be able to break through our shackles with ease."
"Everything I taught you came from real experience. There wasn't a single lie mixed in. Believe me or not, this is the only method I could think of."
Demon Emperor Daochen nodded. He fully believed that what the fellow before him said was correct.
"I'll start trying this tempering method right away. As it happens, I've done some research into illusion arts. Does this kind of tempering really take that long?"
Chaos Heaven nodded. "Of course. Without enough time, the soul you temper certainly won't turn out as you wish."
Demon Emperor Daochen nodded
