Chapter 206: Chapter 115: Seven Demons Pacify the Immortal Master, Visiting the Saint Realm! (Big Chapter, Asking for Monthly Pass!)_5
Taken by surprise, Shen Xuzi felt an agonizing pain that racked his whole body from Chen Chang’an’s unexpected assault.
He was a spirit of Immortal Herbs, with no physical body.
If Chen Chang’an managed to shatter his trace of spiritual power, he would dissipate into thin air.
Yet Chen Chang’an didn’t pay heed to Shen Xuzi’s cries of agony and continued to intensify the infusion of his spiritual power.
Slowly but surely, he pressured Shen Xuzi’s Sea of Consciousness.
It was undeniable that Shen Xuzi was a living being that had survived from the ancient times and he possessed the strongest spiritual power Chen Chang’an had encountered to date.
Chen Chang’an made a conservative estimation that even a Heavenly Venerate of Yin Tianzi’s caliber wouldn’t match this old man’s strength.
It was just unfortunate that this old man ran into him.
If we were to talk about strength, Chen Chang’an didn’t think he outmatched everyone, but when it came to the strength of the Sea of Consciousness, he didn’t concede to anyone.
From the moment he binded with the System, his Sea of Consciousness has evolved beyond the reach of ordinary beings.
Not to mention, the countless laws residing in his mind!
"Ah!"
Shen Xuzi groaned in pain once again, wanting to continue to threaten, but was beaten down even more mercilessly, causing him to surrender:
"Boss, have mercy, boss, have mercy!"
"I’ll tell, I’ll tell everything, don’t crush me anymore."
At this, Chen Chang’an was filled with interest:
"Oh, old man, are you really ready to talk? No plans to struggle anymore?"
Shen Xuzi quickly nodded, he was in cold sweats.
"Yes, yes, boss, I surrender, I really surrender."
"Alright then, spill your beans," Chen Chang’an said, seeing that the old man had sincerely surrendered.
There were only a few things that could pique Chen Chang’an’s interest in this world.
But this old man was one of them.
In fact, as soon as he entered this space and saw Shen Xuzi, Chen Chang’an immediately used the System to infer his information and motive.
The System’s inference mechanism was a function that Chen Chang’an discovered by chance.
It integrates the knowledge already present in his mind to infer the possible outcomes of certain matters.
Moreover, the more Chen Chang’an knows, the more accurate the deduction.
The deduction function is divided into general and advanced, and generally, common deduction could provide the information Chen Chang’an sought.
However, the previous deduction result did not please Chen Chang’an.
Because among the inference results, apart from two deductions made based on Shen Xuzi’s current actions and expressions, the rest, including Shen Xuzi’s power, origin, and other such details, were all questions marks.
Question marks signified that Shen Xuzi’s level has already exceeded the System’s deduction limit.
If he wished to deduce more results, he could only use the more advanced Omniscient Deduction.
However, Omniscient Deduction was precious, and Chen Chang’an was reluctant to use it here.
Therefore, the following play-acting scenario occurred where Chen Chang’an deliberately fished for information.
What made Chen Chang’an determined to play along with Shen Xuzi were two possibilities proposed by the System.
The two possibilities were as follows:
First, Shen Xuzi’s talk to Chen Chang’an was sincere; he regarded Chen Chang’an as the last friend of his life.
Second, Shen Xuzi’s real body was not a human being, his reason for hosting Chen Chang’an so warmly was to seize his body.
Upon discovering the second possibility, Chen Chang’an immediately deduced the probability of his successful body seizure.
The System’s answer was zero.
Therefore, Chen Chang’an let his guard down and started acting.
If not, he would have turned and left the moment he saw Shen Xuzi.
Chen Chang’an was not one to place himself in danger at all.
Then, as the System had predicted, from the first day of contact with Shen Xuzi, Chen Chang’an felt his Sea of Consciousness being invaded.
This invasion was very covert, but it couldn’t escape Chen Chang’an’s inspection.
In order to avoid alerting Shen Xuzi, Chen Chang’an decided to play along.
He concealed most of his Sea of Consciousness and only exposed one ten-thousandth of it, allowing Shen Xuzi to feast on it.
In order to make it convincing, he even placed the Taiyuan Imperial Clock in this fraction of his exposed Sea of Consciousness.
As expected, Shen Xuzi was baited and fell right into the trap.
In all honesty, if Shen Xuzi’s attack was physical instead of mental, Chen Chang’an would probably lose.
But now, all Chen Chang’an could say was sorry. Victory goes to the winner, understand?
"Sir... no no, boss, boss, I’ll tell..."
"So, the story goes like this..."
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s question, Shen Xuzi immediately responded like a drowning man who had grasped a lifeline,
Frantically confessing all his deeds from birth to the present, nothing was left out.
After he finished, Shen Xuzi shamelessly knelt down:
"Boss Chen, please don’t kill me."
"Although I’m an Immortal Herb, my juice tastes sour..."
Uh...
Chen Chang’an couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth after hearing Shen Xuzi’s tearful plea.
He never expected that this seemingly serious old man was actually so shameless.
Besides being shameless, the old man indeed had a mysterious origin.
How should I put it,
