Chapter 1243: Secrets of the Ruby

"I think that's because it was a different kind of ability. The Puer had an extra limb on its back that was responsible for all the work. When I absorbed it, the flower pattern was formed on my brain as a result which allowed me to do something similar, albeit in a much more horrific and painful way."

"Meaning the puer's ability was a physical one while this demon's ability was purely spiritual in comparison...it would have to be since it was going through those vessels like they were nothing," he added.

"That's why rather than affecting my body it changed something in my Mind Palace. And-" Hao Xuan paused monetarily to consider the true meaning behind the words he was about to say.

"-And I think it did more than that...more than just give me another ability. The lectern feels different and the oval symbol with the branches is doing something that I have never felt before. It has something to do with the ruby, I can feel it."
