The consciousnesses of these immortal slaves were actually eternal and indestructible. Dispersing one consciousness would only make the consciousnesses of the other immortal slaves grow stronger. However, that did not mean they could retain their power here, because the reason these immortal slaves were so formidable was that their consciousnesses constantly absorbed the power of the Taixiao Stone.
Thus, I dispersed them and absorbed them through area-wide spirit absorption. That was equivalent to dismantling and absorbing the power they had painstakingly accumulated, thereby weakening their control over this immortal domain.
Following that line of thought, the other Immortal Kings here must also have relied on extracting this power to control the immortal domain. Viewed from another angle, to control the Taixiao Stone, one had to completely claim the power here as one's own while one's physical body outside was still intact. Only then, once one had established a terminal connection, could one control the treasure at will.
The immortal slaves were soon beaten into one mass by me, and I swiftly seized and plundered their power.
In fact, the Immortal Kings here had surely also scraped every last bit of power from their immortal domains, which was why the other immortal domains I had passed through earlier had possessed such scarce controlling power.
However, this power was merely the Taixiao Stone's internal power, not the framework power at its root. Thus, plundering the interior completely would only leave the framework unable to exercise control, while strengthening the power of one's will. That was the main reason this place was divided into Immortal Kings and immortal slaves: the strong became kings, while the weak became slaves.
This had also become the reason the Taixiao Stone indirectly escaped control. Moreover, the plundered power could not be used to control the treasures here.
