Revered Master Withered Leaf nodded, seemingly understanding what Su Mo wanted to do.
The Demon-Subduing Pagoda slowly revolved, becoming a golden phantom that stood within the great hall...
The Demon-Subduing Pagoda had seven floors, seemingly corresponding exactly to a person's Seven Thoughts.
In the teachings of the Buddhist Sect, people possessed seven evils, and the Seven Thoughts were the root of those seven evils.
What the seven floors of the Demon-Subduing Pagoda subdued were also the seven evils within human nature.
And within the Demon-Subduing Pagoda in Revered Master Withered Leaf's hands, four floors currently imprisoned Four Thoughts, one of the Demon Sage's thoughts.
"May I ask which four thoughts of the Demon Sage you imprisoned, Revered Master?" Su Mo asked calmly, looking at the Demon-Subduing Pagoda.
Revered Master Withered Leaf sighed. "Amitabha. This humble monk imprisoned the four thoughts of the Demon Sage most likely to cause upheaval: Anger Thought, Fear Thought, Sorrow Thought, and Aversion Thought."
Su Mo sighed at those words... Just as I thought.
The remaining three thoughts were joy, love, and desire...
No wonder the Demon Sage above the Jade Water Cold Pool had behaved that way.
Revered Master Withered Leaf waved a hand. The first floor of the Demon-Subduing Pagoda turned gently, and he released a streak of light.
The Demon-Subduing Pagoda also seemed to dim somewhat in that instant. Even as a Sacred Artifact, imprisoning a Sage's Divine Soul was extremely taxing.
Su Mo raised a hand and drew it into his own Divine Sense.
The Demon Sage now lay within Su Mo's Spirit Sea. He did not immediately let her Divine Sense return to her body; he knew what would happen when the Seven Thoughts returned.
To avoid any mishaps, he could only wait until matters were settled and they had returned
