Chapter 3996 Setting Up The Prison
Vereina's head swerved to look at him as she shot him a stupefied expression, "You haven't refined it yet?"
"Well, out of the five multi-headed lizards, I've managed to refine the soul essences of one Empyreal Monarch and two Kingly Monarchs, but the last other Kingly Monarch and Empyreal Monarch's soul essences are still present. I should also say that it was difficult to kill them when they had six souls and their father or grandpa or whatever was hiding deep in their souls was ready to attack me, so I tortured and drained them of their psyche almost every chance I got so that the immortal mark from their ancestor disappears..."
Vereina's gaze was full of amazement.
She was also aware when she kills a person, they might have an immortal mark from their master or ancestor etched into their soul essence.
A majority might not have it due to a lot of energy constraints or social constraints like privacy but people who are doted on a lot, and those who are leaders of the next generation, would generally be marked. She could not emphasize how much of a headache these marks or imprints were as they would be able to know her location upon their death or even while they were alive as long as the said person activated that imprint.
Fortunately, she had the Violent Punitive Soul Physique that devoured the immortal or transcendent imprints during the absorption process.
But still, her location would be generally known before she could fully remove the imprint, so she would have to escape. That's why she also joined a sect to have backing.
However, what Davis managed to erase were Empyrean or Autarch level soul marks. That was amazing to her.
"It's my fault." Davis chuckled, "I've been having too much fun torturing them for what happened to Fairy Selene Lunaris. I didn't want them to grant the sweet release of death, you know, so I took more time to torture them before I finally killed them. I've had enough of their soul essences as I managed to learn a lot, so I can spare the remaining for you. However, I wouldn't give for just nothing."
"W-What do you need me to do...?"
Vereina had an expression full of interest as she asked, but in the end, she turned hesitant and ashamed.
What did she have to offer? This question always irked her, and no matter how she encompassed the world, wondering what she could give to match the deal, it always ended with her body.
It made her feel ashamed.
She wouldn't even usually consider it, but if it was him, it seemed she was fine with it. However, she refused to believe that her mind came to such a conclusion, believing it was a mistake.
'Perhaps it would be a good memory lasting eons...'
He shook his head and turned around, "That's not the way. You're walking straight to the sixth level if you follow that path."
"Ah!~"
Vereina turned around and quickly caught up to him. Her hand extended lightly to grasp his sleeves, but she stopped herself. She looked around, feeling that the darkness had receded a bit- no, she could see a bit better.
'Is this because I absorbed a lot of darkness energy of this place from the remnants...?'
Vereina felt doubtful. She looked towards the path leading to the sixth level, feeling something. It was a bizarre feeling she couldn't describe, making her think back to what Davis said about a strange aura. Nonetheless, she shook her head and followed him back to where Stella was located.
Davis took over the place of his soul body and dispersed it. He increased the intensity of the light energy in the surrounding space to have a clear vision and be free of the corruption from the darkness energy.
Since he cleared the entirety of the fifth level, he didn't need to worry about the dark shadow wraiths attacking for some unknown time, but cultivators and other entities can always threaten their mission. There was no one here as far as he could tell, but it didn't take much to be careful.
He waited for Stella to finish while talking with Vereina and teasing her occasionally, making her fume again and again.
He should say it was her fault for displaying animated expressions. Just her eyes alone told numerous stories. She was a lot like Mingzhi and Fiora in that regard.
Tina and Hailac were also here, inspecting Stella's work as they tried to understand it and better implement their karmic abilities to conceal it. Occasionally, they also turned their focus away and bullied Vereina together with him.
It was almost like they were having a picnic, but Davis was furiously searching for a way to disappear and have his rendezvous with Lea. The darkness was such a hot opportunity, but having come so far here, he needed to stay alert, so he forcefully severed his desires and maintained a vigilant eye.
"Done!"
Abruptly, Stella echoed.
From start to finish, she had taken eight hours to set up the tiny mini-realm. It was fully complete. It wasn't like the mini-realms where she had created it first and then expanded with time. It was already fully complete on the finish, apparently.
Everyone smiled, looking joyous.
At this moment, Tia and Mystic Diviner Hailac simultaneously got to work, appearing in front of the small opening and waving their hands.
