The energy that entered Duan Mu's body was divided into two distinct parts. One half of that energy was being absorbed in his flesh, instead of creating a core.
At the sa ti, the other half of the energy simply disappeared! Even Duan Mu didn't know where it went. However, Xu Shan was observing everything carefully.
He noticed where the other half of the energy went. It didn't stay inside the body of Duan Mu at all. Instead, it was absorbed by the pendant of the young man.
'That pendant is taking his energy. Is that why he hadn't managed to awaken any Celestial Spirit? No, it's not because of the pendant. It's also not because he isn't talented. Instead, it's sothing else...'
'His Celestial Energy is starting to gather in his flesh... Just what is he?'
These fruits had only a minute effect on Celestial Warriors, to the extent it could make them a little stronger. However, its effect on Duan Mu was completely against Xu Shan's expectations.
"It is beyond common sense established for humans," he muttered. However, as he spoke up to this point, he frowned. "Beyond common sense for humans but what if he isn't... completely a human?"
He turned to Xinren, before asking, "Do you know anything about a species that can use Celestial Aura through their flesh?"
Xinren heard the question and didn't answer right away. Even she appeared to be thinking about sothing.
"Looks like you know sothing about it?" Xu Shan spoke, getting a rough idea from her expressions. "What is he...?"
"A species that can use and store Celestial Aura completely in their flesh... There are only two that I know about..." Xinren replied.
"And they are?" Xu Shan inquired.
"One is the Demons, but they live in the Abyss and never show themselves... They can use the Energy of Abyss in their heart like humans can use Celestial Energy. However, the Demons can also use the Celestial Energy. They can store it in their Physique..."
Xinren started explaining everything that she knew. However, even she found it surprising. Was there really a half demon living in a Lower Realm?
"And the second?" Xu Shan asked, taking a glance at Duan Mu, who was eating the fruit carefully, as if it was the most precious gift that he had received in his life.
Xinren responded, "The second are Titans... But I thought they went extinct, so it's unlikely for the boy to be one... It's almost impossible."
"There's a saying back on earth. It's that nothing is impossible. That saying is even more true in this crazy universe where we can destroy mountains with a finger... Maybe a Titan survived?" Xu Shan suggested. "However, what are those Titans in the first place?"
"They were the Rulers of the universe... Their rule lasted for an eternity; however, they were said to be very ruthless, like tyrants," Xinren replied.
She further continued, rembering the past, "However, that also beca a cause of their downfall since, in their arrogance, they offended soone they shouldn't have. It didn't take them long to go from being the overlords of the universe to being extinct.'
"A species which ruled over the entire universe? Is there really soone they couldn't offend? Who was it?" Xu Shan asked, getting even more intrigued. Just what kind of person was it? His mind was filled with lots of questions.
Unfortunately, Xinren didn't answer. She shook her head lightly. "There are so things that even I can't talk about."
Xu Shan didn't force her either. However, he still remained curious just who that person was? And why was it that even the Spirit of the Book of Desires scared of that person?
He turned his attention back on Duan Mu. "His mother is a human. That ans his father was either a demon or a titan? What a template for a Son of Heaven... He could've been a big threat in the future if I hadn't t him here..."
"No matter who his father is, it ans sothing is changing. If his father is a Demon, that ans the Demons have started coming out of the Abyss? But why? And if his father is a Titan, that's even worse... It ans the Tyrants are still alive..."
He could only scratch the back of his head, thinking about it. He had so many problems already. He didn't even know who the person was that attacked the Upper Realm before he escaped, and now there were even more secrets coming out.
"Should I buy a small island and spend my life in peace there? This is getting too ssy." He asked jokingly. However, even he knew that it wasn't feasible.
In this World, even if he didn't go to the problem himself, the problem was going to find him. If he wasn't on top of the problem, then the problem was going to crush him sooner or later.
"Why does it look so hard for an honest, kind and righteous person like to have a safe life?" He shook his head lightly, taking a bite from the fruit in his hand.
At the sa ti, he tossed another fruit to Duan Mu, who had just finished the one he was given.
It didn't matter who Duan Mu's father was. What mattered now was that he was his slave. And now all he had to do was make sure that the young man's loyalty was innate. And he had an idea for that.
"After you finish eating, you should be able to walk. Take to your clan. I have grown bored of this Forest."
"Y-yes." Duan Mu respectfully replied, as if he was talking to his boss.
After he finished speaking, he stood up. He could feel that his body was sowhat stronger.
On Xu Shan's instructions, he tried punching a tree.
Boom~
Even though he couldn't break the tree with his punch, his fist still managed to leave a one inch deep fist mark on the tree, whereas it used to be impossible for him to even leave a scratch on the tree before.
