Right, why would the Dark Race be in the Exquisite Treasure Tower?

Moreover, the Dark Race was using the Bloodline Stealing Secret Technique to seize the bodies and bloodlines of Human Race geniuses, only to be teleported out of the Exquisite Treasure Tower afterward.

Jiang Jichen vaguely felt that a shocking secret was hidden within this Exquisite Treasure Tower.

It was as if this was an ancient scheme that had been set up long ago, and all the living beings in the world were merely pawns of the schemer.

Anyone capable of such methods had to be a Supreme Great Power Figure.

’If I learn even the slightest bit of this secret, it’s highly likely that they’ll detect me.’

’At that point, I’d probably be signing my own death warrant.’

However, Jiang Jichen didn’t ask directly about these secrets. Besides, how could this pitiful, persistent, Low Tier Dark Creature possibly know anything?

Therefore, Jiang Jichen only questioned it from the perspective of a human. How could a Supreme Great Power Figure like the schemer possibly notice something so trivial?

Upon hearing Jiang Jichen’s question, the Dark Creature immediately spoke up. "Sir, spare me! I’m just the lowest-ranking member of the Dark Humanoid Race. I was sent here right after I was born. My mind was branded with a single mission: to seize the bloodlines of the trial-takers here, then break out of the Exquisite Treasure Tower. I don’t know anything else!"

"You don’t know what you’re supposed to do after you get out of the Exquisite Treasure Tower?"

Jiang Jichen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I do know that part. We’re just supposed to live on in place of the original person until we receive our next orders!"

The Dark Creature, sprawled on the ground like a puddle of mud, replied.

Lying in wait!

Hearing the Dark Creature’s words, Jiang Jichen immediately thought of this phrase. He also knew that he wouldn’t get any more useful information by asking further.

As for the deeper secrets, they were definitely not something he should be prying into at his current Cultivation Realm. That would only get him killed faster.

Finished with his questions, Jiang Jichen’s gaze fell upon the Dark Creature.

He had to admit, the Life Force of these Dark Creatures was truly tenacious. Even with all its bones shattered and such severe injuries, it still wasn’t dead.

Furthermore, when Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought swept over its body, he discovered that the bones he had just crushed were already beginning to slowly heal and recover.

The constitution of the Dark Race was truly astonishing, even enviable!

Jiang Jichen mused, his eyes suddenly flashing with a vicious light as he stared at the Dark Creature on the ground.

"No, Sir, I’ve already told you everything I know! You have to spare me! By the Dark God, you have to keep your word!"

Clearly sensing Jiang Jichen’s killing intent, the pitiful and persistent Dark Creature panicked and cried out anxiously.

It was just that Jiang Jichen had never intended to let it go in the first place. However, an idea suddenly struck him. He spoke thoughtfully, "I never personally promised to spare your life."

"Sir, as long as you spare Little Haas’s life, Little Haas is willing to obey your every command! I’ll be your slave, climb mountains of daggers, plunge into seas of fire, and never once frown! Sir... Little Haas doesn’t want to die! Please, spare poor Little Haas! Ah, Little—"

The Dark Creature named Little Haas wailed like a ghost, a truly miserable sight, and rambled on with an endless stream of shameless pleas.

"Stop!"

Veins were already popping on Jiang Jichen’s forehead!

Jiang Jichen was on the verge of losing his mind and had no choice but to shout and cut him off.

If he let him continue, Jiang Jichen was afraid that even if he hadn’t planned to kill him before, he’d be tempted to do it now.

He was truly speechless. He’d never seen a member of the Dark Race so afraid of death.

’To think it would be so shameless, so completely without a bottom line, just to stay alive... I really do have a lot to learn!’

Jiang Jichen sighed to himself before speaking. "Stop with the useless chatter. If you want to live, it’s actually very simple. Just open up your Divine Soul completely. You can’t resist in the slightest. If you can’t do it, I’ll just smack you dead. I don’t want to—!"

"I’m willing, I’m willing..."

Unexpectedly, before Jiang Jichen could even finish his sentence, the pitiful, persistent, and cowardly Little Haas had already scrambled to agree.

And... he had already taken the initiative to open his Divine Soul!

"..." Jiang Jichen was so deeply stunned by his prisoner’s eager cooperation that he was momentarily speechless.

"Sir, you told me to open my Divine Soul, so you must want to control Little Haas’s Divine Soul, right? Well... come on, then! Little Haas can’t wait!"

"..." Jiang Jichen was stunned once again!

’The hell? What do you mean you "can’t wait"? It sounds like you’re asking to be... penetrated!’

Jiang Jichen had always thought of himself as quite formidable, but in the face of the pitiful, persistent, and cowardly Little Haas, he was utterly defeated.

’In fact... I feel like if I keep talking to Little Haas, I’m definitely going to develop some psychological trauma!’

Fine. Jiang Jichen didn’t dare say another word. He directly channeled his Divine Thought, condensed a strand of Divine Soul Power, and sent it floating into Little Haas’s completely open Divine Soul.

This was... the Soul Planting Technique. It used the soul as a medium to implant a Restriction, forcing the target to obey only him from that moment on. Moreover, with a single thought, he could see everything the other party was thinking reflected in his own mind.

It was a true Divine Soul control technique. Unless the person who performed the Soul Implantation Skill personally removed it, the technique was irreversible and would last a lifetime.

Of course, the Soul Planting Technique was not so easy to perform. It could only be completed successfully if the target willingly and completely cooperated.

Without that willing cooperation, not even a Supreme Great Power could succeed.

Soon, Jiang Jichen had planted his own Divine Soul imprint in Little Haas’s Sea of Divine Soul.

While entering Little Haas’s Sea of Divine Soul, Jiang Jichen unintentionally caught a glimpse of Little Haas’s dream goddess.

HISS!

Seeing the dream goddess of this virgin Dark Race member, Jiang Jichen couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.

At the same time, his Divine Soul trembled violently, and he withdrew at the fastest possible speed.

"Little Haas, your dream goddess..."

After his Divine Soul returned, Jiang Jichen swallowed hard, his face a little pale as he asked.

"Sir, you saw Little Haas’s dream goddess too? Haha... Isn’t she beautiful? Little Haas has to think about her every day to fall asleep, you know! And... hehe, she’s also Little Haas’s... Haha, Sir, you’re so knowledgeable, you definitely get it!"

At this, Little Haas spoke with a hint of embarrassment and shyness.

Jiang Jichen was now completely dumbfounded!

’Knowledgeable? I get it?’

’Get it, my ass! Uh... Little Haas, your dream goddess is covered in thick fur and is just as brawny as you are.’

’What in the world was that thing?’

Jiang Jichen was now completely traumatized. He decided that unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never again peek into Little Haas’s Sea of Divine Soul.

’That terrifying sight... was truly beyond what a human could bear!’

"Alright, enough nonsense. I’m leaving now. I’ll contact you if I need anything!"

Jiang Jichen waved his hand and, ignoring Little Haas completely, fled the scene as if escaping.
