“Unbelievable! How did you do it?” Enquired Elliott, it seems it will be hard for him to believe my words without a proper explanation.

“Well, I guess it doesn’t hurt to tell you, a heathen stone vault, a pail of soul energy-rich mud along with a soul jade and following a few simple easy steps, you can also do it.

First, crush the soul jade into powder and mix 1/3rd of it with mud and pour the mixture of mud and soul jade powder in the vault, after sowing the dungeon calamity seed in the mud you lock the beaten stone vault at the fastest speed possible.

Wait for 3 – 4 minutes and then once the Heathen stone vault starts glowing wait for another 20 to 30 seconds. Then open the vault and dig out the calamity seed. Now that the seeds consciousness is trapped in the heathen stone vault the seeds physical body becomes very feeble and fragile, unlike its previous indestructible self, by applying a simple force you can crush it into powder. Once the heathen stone vault stops glowing you know that calamity seed consciousness has dissipated as its physical body has been destroyed.

It would have taken less time if I had the purest of the heathen stone.” I explained, once I dug up the calamity seed from the vault to transfer its soul pathway to the origin core I noticed that the seed body of the calamity seed had become fragile and would collapse with enough force. So I did not lie about being able to destroy the calamity seed.

“You madman! Madman! You feed and awoke the calamity seed with soul energy in the middle of the Sky blossom city… You son of a madb!tch.

What if the heathen Stone vault was not able to trap the calamity seed consciousness or even worse what if the calamity seed had used its variant soul energy to enslave you?

What made you think that once the consciousness of the calamity seed separated from its seed body it would be easier to destroy its indestructible physical body. And what made you sure that once the physical body of the calamity seed is destroyed its consciousness will dissipate…

What made you so sure that you were willing to risk the lives of everyone in the sky blossom city? Answer me you mad son of a b!tch.” Elliott went ballistic hearing my explanation on how to destroy a calamity seed but he was not wrong too as he didn’t have almighty revealing soul pupils like me.

“Haven’t you heard of the egg theory which states that the eggshell of an egg becomes a lot fragile without the egg white and yolk inside it? I applied the same theory to the calamity seed.

Without its consciousness, its physical body lost its indestructible status. And it was easier for me to destroy its physical form. And what made the consciousness of the calamity seed immortal was its indestructible seed form and with it destroyed consciousness of the calamity seed is no longer immortal. ” I came up with a bunch of lies and theories to support why I did what I did. As I could not just say that I just wanted to imprison seed consciousness long enough for me to transfer all its soul pathways and arrangements into an origin core. Now that would just drive Elliott insane.

“How do you know that the eggshell of an egg becomes a lot fragile without the egg white and yolk inside it as it’s impossible to separate the egg white and yolk without breaking the egg. As far as I know, there is no such theory. And since when did an egg become the same as a calamity seed… You madman you risked the lives of everyone in the city just to satisfy your curiosity.

The old academicians of the top 10 universities will love you. I did not understand half of what you said but if you publish a paper on this I will make sure that it catches on before you graduate high school and get a scholarship for the top 10 universities.” Spoken like a true businessman, in my past life I have met so many people who only cared how much profits my invention would gain them instead of appreciating its ingenuity and applications. Because of this many of my useful and revolutionary inventions were shot down… in a way leading to me becoming an entrepreneur to finance my research so that I can invent something that helps society rather than fill the pockets of corporate stooges.

“Why are you so bent on making me attend the top 10 universities?” I did not understand Elliott’s fixation with the top 10 universities, if it is something to do with marketing and connections then count me out.

“Why aren’t you! Even after I told you… for 200 years no one in our city or the nearby cities had been accepted in the top 10 universities. Do you know how many alumni of those universities have become card emperors, well even I don’t know but I have heard it is a large number.

One of the examples is the last one to attend one of the top 10 universities from our city he has already stepped into the Card king realm and is about to break into the Card Emperor realm just within 200 years!”

“Where is he right now?”

“Working under some Demigod, who took a liking to his talent and accepted him as his subordinate.” Said Elliott with a sad expression. It is sad considering that the local legend is just a mere subordinate. But he is still not someone the likes of us could look down on.

“What’s so wonderful about the top 10 universities?”

“I don’t know, I have only heard the rumours as for their credibility, it is up to you what you chose to believe. They say that the top 10 universities can custom make false relics suitable for the card apprentice studying there. Making it easier for those who study there stronger than opponents of the same realm.” Said Elliott with a serious expression, if I did not have two false relics I might have believed what Elliott said but I have the false relic and know that something like that is not man-made. But seeing how the secret to false relics lies in the top 10 universities I was beginning to consider whether to attend one of the top 10 universities. But I will have to consult William Bright on false relics before I make a decision.
