Chapter 585 - 585 Soul Searching
585 Soul Searching
Demons were intelligent, and their intelligence was not lower than that of humans. However, this was only limited to demons, or rather, demons of the fourth rank and above. Demons of the third rank and below could also be considered wild beasts, and they only had low intelligence.
The spiritual transformation of monsters above the fourth rank was called the light of wisdom, which was why they could compete with humans for the position of the child of the world. The key was to win this battle…
However, after a demon had condensed the light of wisdom, it would possess a normal level of intelligence. The increase in level would no longer have any help to its intelligence level, but would gradually mature as the brain developed. Finally, the development of intelligence would be carried out by knowledge, human feelings, and experience, and they would be no different from a human.
Therefore, demons would be able to experience feelings like excitement, fear, and happiness. Of course, even if they had wisdom, the savage bestiality in their roots was still difficult to get rid of. Therefore, compared to humans, they were more impulsive, violent, and bloodthirsty. They would fight to the death if they didn’t agree on something small.
The four shadow wolves in front of him were obviously used to being pampered. Because of their special abilities, they were good at sneaking into the human world. With their job, once they were caught, they had to directly self-destruct… This time around, it was Lin Xuan who made a move. In the case where the strength of both parties was too great, he brazenly made a move and directly captured them all alive.
One of the Grandmasters stabbed a few silver needles into the shadow wolf’s neck. Each of the silver needles was filled with Tinder energy, and they were used to restrict the shadow wolf’s self-destruction mode and mobility.
“Alright, they can’t move anymore, and it’ll be hard for them to activate the energy in their bodies. They can only move their eyes at most.”
The Grandmaster put away the silver needles and said to Lin Xuan and the rest, but he seemed very hesitant. “They can’t speak like this. If you want to interrogate them… You’ll have to be very cautious…”
Lin Xuan laughed. “That’s not a problem. If we ask them questions, they might even lie. Why don’t we search from their souls directly?”
Soul-searching?
For a moment, everyone present including the four shadow wolves was shocked. Was this real? Could they really be soul searched?
Although the borderline mountain dungeon had reached the extraordinary realm, in reality, it was more of only an extraordinary physical body. As for searching for the soul, it was not impossible. However, it was either the innate magical powers of demons or the use of terrifying energy and blood that could be used to shake the soul. However, no one knew the principles behind it.
It wasn’t that they hadn’t studied it before, they did. Unfortunately, they came up with nothing.
As for Lin Xuan, he didn’t have a way to search their souls directly. After all, he didn’t raise ghosts or use witchcraft. However, when he was in the mystic-rank, he had fused with the wind of the lost souls and the rain of the fallen souls. Now, these two powers are still in Lin Xuan, and with his current strength as an earth-rank, the effect has been enhanced!
There was no way to directly search the soul, but it could be done indirectly!
Summoning Wind and Rain, Soulless Wind, and Soul Rain, activate!
The targets were only four rank-nine shadow wolves, well, they were roughly mystic-rank monstrous beasts. With his strength at the peak of the earth-rank, this skill might directly kill these four shadow wolves. It might be to the point where their souls would be scattered.
Therefore, he controlled the intensity of the skill this time. It was like the continuous spring rain, like the gentle breeze in summer. It came wave after wave. The spring rain was continuous, and the breeze blew calmingly. However, they were like sharp knives that cut through the souls of the four shadow wolves, breaking them down little by little.
“What is your purpose in coming to this world?”
“What do you know about the beast chasers? How do you contact them? ”
“How far are the preparations for the early stages of the war in the Demon Realm?”
“How’s the hidden Saint’s condition?”
The soul was a wonderful thing. To Lin Xuan, it was made up of three things — consciousness, emotion, and memory. Consciousness and emotion were hard to figure out, but the memory was an extremely large part of the soul.
There were several types of memories. The first type was repetitive and useless memories, the second type was dormant memories, and the third type was instant memories.
Of course, there were more than just these few memory divisions, but Lin Xuan only remembered this much when he was cultivating the myriad dark spirit saint tribulation…
If Lin Xuan did not ask any questions when he was retrieving their soul fragments, then what he retrieved would probably be an instant memory. It was not that it was useless, but the memory was too random, and it might not be what Lin Xuan and the rest wanted.
By asking the right questions, he would get what he wants.
Lin Xuan collected their soul fragments and examined them one by one. Although he did not specialize in soul cultivation, his soul power was strong and was not inferior to those experts who specialized in soul cultivation. As long as he had power, some things were really easy to play with.
“They came to the human world for the Tinder Sutra. It was an order from the Silver Wind King of the Moon Royal Court… However, from the looks of it, it’s not the Silver Wind King of the Moon Royal Court that’s interested in the Tinder Sutra, but the other two Royal Courts. Hehe, this Silver Wind King is quite interesting!”
From the perspective of one of the shadow wolves, it saw the ferocious face of the Silver Wind King. It was just a flash, and the shadow wolf itself did not notice it. Lin Xuan, however, saw that fleeting scene and immediately knew that there was a chance in victory now!
“Information about the beast chasers…
“The Demon Realm’s arrangements…
“The third Saint… Moon Lord has not appeared for a long time!”
It was a rank-nine shadow wolf after all, and it was in charge of communicating with the traitors in the human world. It knew quite a lot of information, and some of the information was not from Lin Xuan and the others. It was just supplementary information from their memories, which made Lin Xuan feel that he had gained a lot.
“The three great Holy Royal Court… The Moon Royal Court, the Greenwood Royal Court, and the Roc Royal Court… Two peaches killing three warriors… Iron Throne…”
At this moment, Lin Xuan had an overload of information, but in the end, he sighed. The plan of two peaches killing three warriors was difficult to decipher. The Moon Royal Court sounded like trouble, but they did not have to deal with it for the time being.
The Moon Lord had only gone out to explore the world and wasn’t dead. He would eventually come back or attack the Blue Planet with many demons.
If the Moon Royal Court was destroyed and the three sons of the Moon Lord died, when the time was right to attack the Blue Planet, the other two would definitely attack!
