When Jim talked to Austin using his spiritual sense, the gnappeared in thin air.
Austin marveled at the gnome's impressive teleportation ability. ‘Compared to my bodily movement skills which allowto be invisible for a short period of time, the gnome's ability to travel through space is much cooler, ' he thought.
Using his spiritual sense, the gncalled out to Austin, "It seems like that old man's spiritual souls are severely damaged.
He is devouring those cultivators’ spiritual souls with skind of evil skills. It looks like he is trying to draw the energy from their spiritual souls to heal his own soul.’ Austin was astonished.
"So you think that Jim is feeding off of those warriors’ spiritual souls?" he asked.
The gnnodded, and explained what he had just witnessed.
"How do you know Jim is badly injured? How are you certain that he is consuming those cultivators' spiritual souls in order to recover his own?" Austin didn't hesitate to ask questions. He was curious and slightly doubtful.
"l acquired teleportation ability, and | have a stronger beast soul energy than most," the gnreplied.
"What is beast soul energy?" Austin had never heard of beast soul energy, which surprised him.
"Beast soul energy refers to our mental power, but humans usually call it spiritual sense.
A few human cultivators focus on practicing and honing their spiritual senses. The number of us beasts that have beast soul energy is even smaller than the number of you human warriors that have a powerful spiritual sense.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs demonic beasts, we earn our beast soul energy only when we becBeast Masters.
But there is an exception. Sspecial species start to cultivate their beast soul energy before they becBeast Masters.
Violet is an example of this exception because she is a nine tail demon fox.
My species is famous for having strong beast soul energy since the ancient times.
Although | have just acquired my beast soul energy, naturally, it is still much stronger than your spiritual sense. | am able to read minds.
When | saw that old man feeding on those cultivators’ spiritual souls, | used my beast energy to read his mind and that is how | know he was using those souls to heal his own soul.
| can't be certain whether this was his full plan because | only read his mind for a few seconds.
If I had spent too much ton reading his mind solely, my beast soul energy would have been harmed," the gnexplained.
He was very eager to tell Austin about his beast soul energy.
"I see," Austin replied.
He had always thought he had a powerful spiritual sense, but now he knew this wasn't the case.
His spiritual sense could be on par with that of Astral Realm cultivators.
‘The gnome's beast soul energy is even more powerful than my spiritual sense, ' Austin thought to himself. He realized that his spiritual sense was nothing compared to the gnome's beast soul energy.
'But this is his special talent, ' Austin thought. A bitter smile was creeping across his face.
He quickly shut his doubts down, cleared his mind and looked back at the altar.
'It turns out the old man attempts to heal himself by devouring those cultivators’ spiritual souls.
According to those City Guardians, this man was seriously injured and he needed to use souls to heal himself. Looks like they were telling the truth, ' he thought.
Austin saw many City Guardians in black standing by the altar. 'He even tried to sacrifice his people.
Wow. he is truly a ruthless and cold-blooded person, ' he remarked.
As he watched, he also spotted three other Master Realm cultivators on the altar.
'He askedto meet him, but he is busy devouring spiritual souls. What is he up to?' Austin wondered.
Austin was anxious. He had a really weird feeling about this.
After contemplating it, he decided to talk to Jim about using his spiritual sense.
"Sir, could you tellthe way out of here?" he said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe truth was, Jim hadn't seen this happening. Under Jake's leadership, all the cultivators on the altar had stood against him, which was slowing down the sacrifice ritual.
Jim initially surmised that he also would have finished Sacrifice Array after Austin entered the Illusory Palace. And his plan was to take care of Austin the second he stepped inside.
However, things had not gone as he had expected.
He flared up as he heard what Austin said.
"Boy, now that you're here, you're my guest. No need to rush anything.
When | am done with my business, | will cto you.
Besides, do you really think you can escape from this Illusory Palace?" His voice was stiff. He ignored Austin and continued to devour the spiritual souls.
‘Now that he is in the Illusory Palace, he is bound to be my prey. | don't think he can find a way out, ' the old man thought confidently.
The act was over. Austin was stuck. Now, he could stop pretending to be nice to Austin.
"Excuse me? What the hell does that mean?" Austin asked.
Austin knew it was a threat.
‘This old man! | knew he was evil, ' he thought.
Until now he was certain that Jim had invited him there under evil pretenses.
'He lured us here. Was he also trying to eat our spiritual souls too? The gnsaid that his spiritual soul is severely injured. Therefore, he must want to absorb as many souls as possible to repair his, ' he pondered.
"You should channel your spiritual sense to my Soul Seal to guard my soul for the tbeing. | will try to read that old man's mind to figure out his plans!" the gnsaid to Austin through spiritual sense.
"Will it work?" Austin was surprised to hear his advice.
