Chapter 2041: Arousing Suspicion

"Then your Divine Soul Power is strong enough; can you try communicating with it first?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"It won't communicate! It recognizes you as its master, so it won't talk to me! If I force a connection, it might attack me… I'm not even sure I could block its attack!"

Book Demon explained to Ye Liuyun.

"Then forget it! It's better that the two of you stay peacefully apart!"

Ye Liuyun immediately gave up the idea.

Even if the Book Demon could block the Ten Thousand Gods Command's attack, he still wouldn't let the Book Demon try it.

He only thought to himself: "Back then, Li Yuanlang's Divine Sense emerged from this Ten Thousand Gods Command.

Could it be that he forged this Ten Thousand Gods Command?"

"Impossible; he was only the previous user."

"His strength is still far from the level needed to forge a Ten Thousand Gods Command!"

The Book Demon, however, could grasp Ye Liuyun's thoughts and started chatting with him directly.

"You can read my thoughts?"

Ye Liuyun asked the Book Demon in surprise.

Book Demon replied: "Of course! My Divine Soul Power far exceeds yours! But rest assured, I won't pry into what I shouldn't know… You have so many women!"

"…Those should count as things I shouldn't know, right?"

Ye Liuyun asked awkwardly.

It seems having an overly powerful servant also brings trouble.

"Ahem… hmm, you're right, I won't concern myself with those matters!"

The Book Demon pretended to cough a few times, covering its own embarrassment.

In fact, he had already roamed through Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness entirely.

Ye Liuyun had no choice but to temporarily trust what he said.

Suddenly, he felt the ground vanish beneath his feet, and his vision flickered.

The tower beneath him disappeared into thin air!

Only Ye Liuyun remained, standing out of nowhere.

Ye Liuyun looked around; the surroundings had returned to normal and were no longer frozen.

"If I could learn how to freeze time, wouldn't I be invincible!"

He mused to himself.

The Book Demon instantly sensed his thought and struck back: "Mastering Time Power is the hardest! I advise you not to aim too high; first cultivate Spatial Power properly.

Moreover, even if you master Time Power, you still won't be invincible! At best, for a short period you couldn't match me, let alone those strong ones!"

"How strong are those strong ones?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

The strongest he knows are war gods like Li Yuanlang.

"There are plenty stronger than him!"

Book Demon said casually.

Ye Liuyun was speechless as well.

As soon as he formed a slight thought, the Book Demon could know it.

"Then I won't have any privacy at all in the future!"

"That's because you're asking me! Things that don't concern me, I can't be bothered with!"

The Book Demon continued, following Ye Liuyun's line of thought.

"Fine! Don't go snooping into matters that don't concern you.

As your master, even if temporary, I can make such a request, right?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

The Book Demon hesitated a moment before saying, "So petty, I'm not even human, and you won't even let me find out? Fine, I agree!"

Only then did Ye Liuyun feel a little relieved.

At this moment, the Elders waiting in the Grand Hall for Ye Liuyun to emerge boiled over again.

"Good kid! He actually came out!"

"Where did that tower go?

Did he take it back?"

"Doesn't look like it.

It seems it headed toward the outside of the Secret Realm.

And look at his expression when he just emerged; he's still dazed!"

"I wonder what treasures were inside that tower, whether this kid got them."

"Only two days inside, maybe not enough! But then again, if he didn't get any treasure, how could the tower disappear?"

The crowd kept speculating, waiting for Ye Liuyun to come out so they could question him in detail.

The Elders who favored Ye Liuyun were also scheming, preparing persuasive words and resources to win him over.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun didn't wander around; he simply stayed put, waiting to leave.

Ferocious beasts around, upon noticing the tower's disappearance, began scouting the perimeter.

But the tower's influence on them was too great; none dared approach directly.

They all stared at Ye Liuyun, watching for any movement.

Elder Ku Rong saw that little time remained, and Ye Liuyun had no intention to explore further, so he went straight back to his own Cave to wait for Ye Liuyun to emerge.

He had previously been very satisfied with Ye Liuyun's performance.

But the more he observed, the more he thought that with Ye Liuyun's abilities, even without coming to the Profound Heaven Sect, he should be able to develop quite well.

At least he could become the head of a major power.

So he doubted in his heart what purpose Ye Liuyun had in coming to the Profound Heaven Sect.

Based on Ye Liuyun's strength, aside from his realm, he definitely surpasses the First Holy Son of their Profound Heaven Sect.

Especially his intellect, far stronger than that of their disciples.

The more he thought, the more he felt Ye Liuyun was not ordinary.

He must thoroughly investigate Ye Liuyun before he can be at ease.

Thus he rushed back early to intercept Ye Liuyun.

After returning to the Cave, Elder Ku Rong still thought: "Given this kid's way of acting, even if there is a conspiracy, it would certainly be arranged without a single leak.

Trying to extract words from his mouth probably won't succeed!

His Divine Soul Power is strong enough.

If I directly perform Soul Search, being careful, it shouldn't have a great impact on him.

Right, let's do it that way.

If he refuses, that proves he has something hidden! Even if his talent is excellent, the Profound Heaven Sect cannot accept him!"

Thinking of this, Elder Ku Rong also prepared some of his own resources for cultivating Soul.

If Ye Liuyun lets him perform Soul Search, he will also give Ye Liuyun some compensation, lest Ye Liuyun bear a grudge.

Since Elder Ku Rong left the Grand Hall, many Elders have been shouting at each other, all vying to take Ye Liuyun as a disciple, and even the hot‑tempered ones are about to clash.

Yao Dong Lai could only set a conclusion directly: "Follow Elder Ku Rong's suggestion; each of you state your conditions, then let him choose for himself!"

At this moment, Ye Liuyun was simultaneously guarding against the probing ferocious beasts around him and recalling his performance after entering the Secret Realm, checking for any loopholes.

The treasures he had obtained could not be exposed.

For the places where he had acted too recklessly, he began to preemptively find excuses.

"I wonder if Elder Ku Rong is still there?

What attitude he will take toward me?"

Ye Liuyun finally recalled the moment when Elder Ku Rong, before leaving, had come to his senses.

He even began to mentally rehearse ways to deal with Elder Ku Rong.

If Elder Ku Rong were to make a move against him, he would not be flustered at that time.

The surrounding ferocious beasts gradually lost patience, beginning to test their way toward Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun released a Soul pressure, frightening them away.

Not long after, after ten days, Ye Liuyun felt a Spatial Power act upon him, carrying him out of the Secret Realm.

When the Spatial Power that enveloped him vanished, Ye Liuyun found himself back on the formation platform inside the Cave.

And Elder Ku Rong was on the opposite side, watching him.
