Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 427 No Gain
Lin Xiao's eyes had turned completely a deep blue, his martial spirit surrounded him, and the invisible seed of his soul had quietly blossomed into the spiritual sea of ​​his soul beast.

In an instant, a series of memories flashed before Lin Xiao's eyes.

The spiritual power of a soul beast is incomparable to that of a human. A soul beast with low cultivation level is even less able to resist Lin Xiao. Its memories from birth to the present day appear before Lin Xiao without reservation.

Of course, as a soul beast, its memories, though vast, are far less exciting than those of humans. Its daily experiences consist almost entirely of cultivation, eating, and resting, nothing more.

Lin Xiao paid special attention to the recent experiences of this soul beast, but after investigating for a long time, he found no special experiences it had had.

"How is it, any harvest?"

Seeing that Lin Xiao hadn't made any further moves, Electrolux asked a question. Although he was asking, he actually had some guesses in mind.

"Didn't find it." Lin Xiao sighed softly and shook her head.

Lin Xiao raised his hand to retrieve the Soul Seed, and with a slight tremor of his soul power, the soul beast swam away without looking back.

Lin Xiao's gaze remained fixed on it, suppressing the fluctuations of his soul power, and he quietly followed.

“Teacher, since we can sense the aura of your divine consciousness fragment from this soul beast, it means that the fragment must be on the Douluo Continent. Even though the sea is vast, there is still a chance to find it.”

"Hahaha, now you're trying to comfort me." Electrox laughed loudly. "Don't worry, I've already lived a second life, and I've already figured these things out."

"There are countless worlds in the vast universe. It is already extremely lucky to find a second fragment here. Whether this extra piece exists or not is not important."

“The teacher can let it go, but I can’t pretend I didn’t see it.” Although he was in the sea, Lin Xiao had the external throat bone of the mermaid race, which allowed him to breathe freely underwater. His figure was like a sea spirit beast, following the spirit beast from before as it moved underwater.

"I promised my teacher that I would help you find other fragments of divine consciousness, so I can't go back on my word."

"If I were not capable enough to find more fragments, that would be fine, but now that I can sense their presence, how could I possibly give up?"

As Lin Xiao spoke, he darted forward a great distance.

"When I was searching through the memories of that sea spirit beast just now, I didn't find any special experiences on its body. Therefore, the aura of the teacher's divine consciousness fragment must have been accidentally picked up by it somewhere."

"The fact that the aura could be detected means that it hasn't been there for very long. If we follow the route it remembers to get to the vicinity of Dongyang City, we should find something soon."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Electrolux seemed to laugh again, "I have done a lot of evil things in my life because of hatred, but what I am most gratified about is that after my death, I met some of the disciples I admired the most."

"Whether it's you or the two disciples I took in my original world, you've given me a lot to learn..."

Lin Xiao and Electrolux chatted idly, from the past to cultivation, and the quiet seabed around them seemed to become much more lively.

But soon after, Lin Xiao's brows furrowed deeply once again.

“Something’s not right. At that speed, it would take at least two days for that soul beast to swim from here to Dongyang City, and we haven’t found anything along the way.”

Lin Xiao stopped and looked around. Although the scenery had changed slightly, he could still tell that this was the place that the soul beast had passed through in its memories.

He hadn't gone to the wrong place, but the aura of the fragments of Electrolux's consciousness was indeed gone...

Has it been completely washed away by the sea, or is there some place that has been overlooked?

Lin Xiao closed her eyes slightly, feeling the ocean current flowing past her ears, and the scene from the soul beast's memory reappeared before her eyes.

Being able to absorb its aura... the experiences of the Sea Soul Beast... Thoughts surged in Lin Xiao's mind, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

"It's food."

"What did you just say?" Electrolux didn't disturb Lin Xiao's thoughts. Hearing his voice echo in his mental sea, he asked again.

“Teacher, I’ve got it. That sea spirit beast might not be the same one that encountered your divine consciousness fragment.”

"Perhaps other soul beasts were tainted with the aura of the fragments of divine consciousness, but were then hunted and devoured by that sea soul beast, which is why that aura remained on that sea soul beast."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he carefully recalled the hunting memories of that soul beast over the past few days.

Although the images of the soul beasts it devoured could appear before Lin Xiao's eyes, the sea soul beast could not detect the aura of the divine consciousness fragments. In its memory, those "foods" were not much different.

Moreover, those soul beasts are already dead, and have probably all been digested, so there's no way to trace their past experiences anymore.

"It's alright. Now that we know there are fragments in this world, we'll have a chance to encounter them sooner or later. There's no need to rush," Electrox said softly, comforting him. Although it was a fragment of his consciousness, he himself wasn't in a hurry.

Lin Xiao nodded and quickly calmed down.

"We can only put it aside for now."

As he spoke, he glanced again at the depths of the ocean. "Teacher, perhaps the whereabouts of your divine consciousness fragments are related to this change in the ocean."

"Why do you say that?"

“Teacher, with your cultivation level, it would be strange if the fragment of your divine consciousness that fell into the sea didn’t cause any changes.” Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze, turned around and swam back towards Dongyang City.

"Perhaps I really need to meet that 'Holy Envoy' and find out what exactly happened at the bottom of the sea."

In the Mingdu Imperial Palace, the door to Ju Zi's study was tightly closed, and all the maids and guards stood guard outside, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

This was not uncommon in the palace. Since the emperor began handling government affairs, whenever he needed to summon ministers to discuss important matters, he would naturally dismiss everyone else.

At this moment, besides Ju Zi, there was only a slightly short and stout figure in the study.

"Master of the Red Dust Hall, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Jing Hongchen sat to the side with her head down, not looking at Ju Zi, her eyes fixed on the floor beneath her feet. She had never thought the patterns on the floor were as beautiful as they were today.

He remained silent for a long time after Ju Zi asked him a question.

He deposed the current emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire and ascended the throne.

Although Ju Zi didn't say it directly during the conversation, Jing Hongchen could naturally understand the meaning behind her words.

In fact, although Xu Chengye, the son of Xu Tianran, is the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, it is no different from Ju Zi's claim to the throne; it is merely a title.

However, Jing Hongchen still had some hesitation regarding the matter of deposing and installing emperors.
