387: Questioning, vague

Time passed little by little.

His divine essence also gradually reached Perfection.

But at this moment, a faint light appeared out of thin air, attempting to take away the person carrying the divine essence.

Although his speed was very fast, you had already discovered the clues while he was still hiding.

The reason you didn't act preemptively was simply to see what his objective was.

"Hmph, how bold!"

You let out a cold snort.

The next moment, the Earth Book stirred.

A large number of strange beasts surged out, instantly attacking and killing him.

The faint light was immediately beaten back to its original form, constantly emitting miserable screams.

But you showed no mercy, immediately directing the strange beasts to continue tearing at the figure formed by the faint light.

A moment later.

His aura became increasingly weak.

But at this point, you made the strange beasts stop their attack.

Because through this person's previous actions, it was not difficult for you to guess that he was the You Domain Lord.

If he were killed here, the ultimate result would simply be his Divine Soul returning to the heavens and his Rebirth.

You slowly stepped forward and softly said, "How many people carrying divine essence are still in the You Domain?"

"You!"

"Hmph! You bandits..."

The You Domain Lord angrily denounced you.

But you paid no attention, merely raising your head slightly, signaling your subordinate Huan Clan Cultivators to begin torturing him.

With a series of screams, the You Domain Lord immediately fell into a dazed state.

When he woke up again, several years had already passed.

The look in his eyes when he gazed at you was a little clearer.

However, he still remained stubborn, unwilling to reveal any information about the people carrying divine essence.

You, unhurried, once again had the Nian Domain Cultivators begin to torture him.

Another few years passed.

This time, the You Domain Lord yielded.

He revealed everything about himself and the You Domain.

He called himself You Mang, a Peak Cultivator of the thirteenth Realm.

Although the You Domain was not particularly powerful, the speed at which people carrying divine essence were born was extremely fast.

This was also the important reason why he had repeatedly suffered plunder yet was able to reach his current Realm.

And currently, there were two people carrying divine essence in the You Domain.

One of them had already been found by you, and his divine essence had been plundered.

The other lived with him in the core area of the You Domain.

Upon learning this news, you immediately dispatched your subordinates to find that person carrying divine essence.

This process went smoothly.

They only took half a month to bring that person carrying divine essence before you.

Without a word, you immediately took the divine essence from him and handed it to a subordinate Cultivator.

"Take these two divine essences back and place them in the divine domain."

"Yes, my lord!"

With that, the Cultivator disappeared from the spot.

However, after obtaining the divine essence, you did not leave immediately, but instead had those Thought Clan Cultivators continue to torture You Mang.

This was not because you wanted to satisfy some pleasure through it.

Rather, it was because you suspected this person had not told the truth.

After all, this was the first time you had seen a Realm like the You Domain, capable of giving birth to two people carrying divine essence at once.

In the depths of your being, you always felt that this place was not simple.

In the time that followed, several Thought Clan Cultivators tortured You Mang several more times.

But his answer to you remained consistent.

There really were no more people carrying divine essence in the You Domain.

"Alas, if only I could perform a Soul Search on the Domain Lord, why would it be so troublesome..."

You sighed heavily.

In these years, you had also tried Soul Searching.

But every time you refined his Divine Soul, You Mang would instantly enter a state of his Divine Soul returning to the heavens.

No matter how you tried, it was always the same.

However, at this moment, things took a turn.

"Report..."

"My lord, we have successfully found another person carrying divine essence in the You Domain through a process of elimination!"

Hearing this, your heart rejoiced, and at the same time, you became even more certain that You Mang had not told the truth before.

You looked up at him and slowly said, "Do you see? Even if you don't say anything, this lord can find those people carrying divine essence in the You Domain!"

"Why bother struggling so hard, simply wasting both our time?"

"My lord... I truly didn't know..."

"Even the person carrying divine essence you found earliest, I only found out about later."

"Otherwise, I would have brought him to the core area long ago, so why would I leave him outside?"

"Don't you agree?"

Hearing this, you nodded slightly.

It had to be admitted, You Mang's words made quite a bit of sense.

But you still couldn't fully believe what he said.

You had several Thought Clan Cultivators continue to torture him there, while you yourself went to the location of that person carrying divine essence.

The skilled movements were performed in one go.

You quickly extracted the divine essence from this person's body.

However, what puzzled you was this:

The divine essence within his body seemed somewhat different from what you had seen before.

You began to observe carefully.

You saw that this divine essence was darker in color than other divine essences.

The energy it contained was also more vast than the divine essence you had previously encountered.

If it were placed in the divine domain, it would certainly provide greater assistance.

This immediately filled your heart with doubts.

You immediately asked the person carrying divine essence what was different about him compared to others.

But who would have thought?

After hearing your question, this person stammered for a long time, unable to speak.

This immediately intensified the doubts in your heart.

"Crack..."

With a crisp shattering sound, this person's Divine Soul was instantly refined by you.

And his memories, at the same time, surged into your mind.

You carefully read these memories.

A moment later, a cold smile appeared on your lips.

"As expected."

You looked up in You Mang's direction, nodding thoughtfully.

The Cultivator you had just taken back was named Chen Shu.

Originally, he was just an ordinary Loose Cultivator, with nothing remarkable about him.

But one day, You Mang found him and began to vigorously cultivate him.

This caused his cultivation to rise steadily, quickly reaching the Peak of the tenth Realm.

And at the same time, divine essence also began to condense within him.
