Chen Miao looked at the Corpse Retriever kowtowing before him, feeling momentarily dazed.
During the day, the man had still been that cold, aloof Corpse Retriever whom people regarded with awe, but now...
Was this what power meant?
Chen Miao slowly settled the stirring in his heart.
He had refrained from killing this Corpse Retriever outright partly because he wanted to test the Five Prisons on a living person, and partly because he happened to need a practitioner of Yin Cultivation from the Mortal World to provide some basic information about it.
Such basic information was difficult for Chen Miao to obtain from the man's Memory Fragments.
From the looks of it, the test of the five hells immortal had gone well-far better than expected!
Just as Chen Miao had suspected, the last three prisons of the Five Hells Immortal were far more effective against people than against Ghost Reverence.
When used on Ghost Reverence, the heart-excavation prison had little effect unless Chen Miao directly damaged its soul body. But just now, when he had used it on the Corpse Retriever, a tiny amount of damage to the heart area of his soul body had immediately caused changes in his physical body as well. Chen Miao even suspected that, without doing anything further, simply maintaining that state would eventually cause the man's heart to give out and stop beating! This discovery once again made Chen Miao aware of a certain connection between the soul body and the physical body.
Chen Miao had learned something about this connection before, when he obtained information about the Nine Apertures.
Thinking of the Nine Apertures, Chen Miao suddenly had an idea.
At once, he extended his perception into the Corpse Retriever's body.
Soon, Chen Miao "saw" the aperture the Corpse Retriever had opened within
