After Sesame put away the two Devil's Spatial Rings, he opened another Spatial Gate and left with Roan. On the way, the two analyzed the information on the Jade Slip.

"I didn't expect the Devils to really use the Dead Souls that were supposed to go to the Reincarnation Path," said Roan as he read the details. Turns out that Belial truly used dead souls, which other Devils couldn't do. As mentioned before, Devils love Living Souls, which greatly improves their cultivation speed. Dead Souls, on the other hand, were pretty much useless in general.

Sesame pondered a bit. He obviously had a must more extensive knowledge than Roan, so he could make some guesses. "If I'm not wrong, the trick behind it is that Belial doesn't directly use the Dead Souls to increase his cultivation. Instead, he might have found a way of using them to channel Devilish Energy in an easier way. Of course, this is just a conjecture."
