Lin Xiao's eyes had completely turned into a shade of deep blue. Soul rings revolved around him as an invisible seed of the soul quietly sank into the sea soul beast's spiritual sea and bloomed without a sound.
In an instant, scenes of memories flashed before Lin Xiao's eyes.
A soul beast's spiritual power could not compare to that of a human to begin with. A soul beast with relatively low cultivation stood no chance of resisting in front of Lin Xiao. From its birth until its most recent memories, everything was laid bare before him without reservation.
Of course, as a soul beast, although its memories were vast, they were far from as colorful as a human's. Its daily experiences consisted almost entirely of cultivation, feeding, and resting, nothing more.
Lin Xiao paid special attention to this sea soul beast's recent experiences, but after searching for a long time, he found no special encounters.
"How is it? Any gains?"
Seeing that Lin Xiao had not made any other movements for a while, Electrolux opened his mouth to ask. Although he was inquiring, he had already made some guesses.
"No findings." Lin Xiao let out a light sigh and shook his head.
Raising his hand to withdraw the seed of the soul, Lin Xiao's soul power shook slightly, and the sea soul beast immediately swam away without looking back.
Lin Xiao's gaze remained fixed on its body. Suppressing his soul power fluctuations, his figure quietly followed after it.
"Teacher, since we sensed the aura of your divine consciousness fragment from this sea soul beast, it means that fragment must still be somewhere on the Douluo Continent. Although the ocean is vast, there will eventually be a chance to find it."
"Hahaha, now you're even comforting me." Electrolux laughed loudly. "Don't worry. I am someone who has already lived once more. I have long thought these things through clearly."
"In the boundless universe, there are countless worlds. Being able to find a second fragment here is already an extremely fortunate matter. Whether this extra fragment exists or not is no longer important."
"Teacher may be able to let it go, but I cannot simply pretend I didn't see it." Although he was in seawater, Lin Xiao possessed the external soul bone from the merfolk clan, allowing him to breathe freely underwater. His figure moved like a sea soul beast as he followed the sea soul beast that had just left, advancing through the depths.
"Back then, I promised Teacher that I would help you search for the other divine consciousness fragments. Naturally, I cannot go back on my word."
"If my ability is insufficient and I cannot find more fragments, then so be it. But now that I can sense the aura, how could I possibly give up just like this?"
As Lin Xiao spoke, his figure shot forward another large distance.
"Just now, when I searched through that sea soul beast's memories, I didn't find any special experiences on its body. Therefore, the teacher's divine consciousness fragment aura should have been unintentionally picked up by it from somewhere."
"That aura could still be detected, which means it had only been contaminated not too long ago. If we follow the route in its memories back to the vicinity of East Sun City, it shouldn't take long before we make some discoveries."
Listening to Lin Xiao's words, Electrolux seemed to laugh again. "In my life, I did many evil things because of hatred. But what I am most gratified about is that after my death, I instead encountered several disciples I appreciate the most."
"Whether it's you, or the two disciples I took in from the original world, they have given me much insight…"
Lin Xiao and Electrolux chatted casually, talking about the past of cultivation. The silent seabed around them seemed to become much livelier.
However, not long after, Lin Xiao's brows furrowed deeply once again.
"Something's not right. With that sea soul beast's speed, swimming from here to East Sun City would take at least two days. Yet along this entire path, there hasn't been the slightest discovery."
Lin Xiao stopped his figure and surveyed the surrounding environment. Although the scenery here had changed slightly, he could still tell that this was the exact place the sea soul beast had passed through in its memories.
He had not taken the wrong path, but there was indeed no longer any trace of Electrolux's divine consciousness fragment aura…
Had it already been washed away by the seawater, or was there some overlooked spot?
Lin Xiao slightly closed his eyes, feeling the ocean currents flowing past his ears. The scenes from that sea soul beast's memories once again appeared before him.
Capable of contaminating with aura… the experiences of sea soul beasts…
Thoughts surged in his mind. Lin Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.
"It's food."
"What did you just say?" Electrolux had not disturbed Lin Xiao's thinking. Only when he heard his voice ring out in the spiritual sea did he ask.
"Teacher, I've thought of it. The sea soul beast we just encountered may not be the one that directly met your divine consciousness fragment."
"Perhaps another soul beast had been contaminated with the aura of the divine consciousness fragment, and was then hunted and devoured by the sea soul beast we just saw. That's why the aura remained on the previous sea soul beast."
As Lin Xiao spoke, he carefully recalled the feeding memories of that sea soul beast from the past few days.
Although the images of the soul beasts it had devoured could appear before Lin Xiao's eyes, that sea soul beast itself could not detect the divine consciousness fragment aura. In its memories, those "foods" did not have much difference.
Moreover, those soul beasts were already dead and had probably been digested. Trying to trace back their experiences was now impossible.
"It's fine. Since we know there is a fragment in this world, there will be a chance to encounter it sooner or later. You don't need to be anxious." Electrolux gently comforted him. Although it was his divine consciousness fragment, he himself was not in a hurry.
Lin Xiao nodded and quickly calmed down.
"Then we can only set it aside for now."
As he spoke, he glanced once more toward the depths of the ocean. "Teacher, perhaps the whereabouts of your divine consciousness fragment are related to the changes happening in the ocean this time."
"Why do you say that?"
"Teacher, with your cultivation level, if a divine consciousness fragment of yours fell into the sea and caused no changes, that would be strange." Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze and turned to swim back in the direction of East Sun City.
"Perhaps I really should meet that 'Holy Envoy' and find out exactly what happened at the bottom of the sea."
In the Ming Capital Imperial Palace, the door to Juzi's study was tightly shut. All the maids and guards stood outside, not allowing anyone to enter or exit.
This was not uncommon in the imperial palace. Ever since Juzi began handling government affairs, whenever she needed to summon ministers to discuss important matters, she would naturally dismiss everyone else.
At this moment, inside the study, besides Juzi, there was only one slightly short and plump figure.
"Hall Master Hongchen, what is your opinion on this matter?"
Jing Hongchen sat to the side with his head lowered, not looking at Juzi. His eyes were fixed on the floor beneath his feet, never having felt that the patterns on the floor looked so pleasing as they did today.
He also did not respond for a long time to Juzi's question.
To depose the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire and ascend to the throne.
Although Juzi had not said it directly in the conversation earlier, Jing Hongchen could naturally hear the meaning behind her words.
In fact, in the current Sun Moon Empire, although it was Xu Tianran's son Xu Chengye who was the emperor, in reality, there was no difference from Juzi ascending the throne. It was merely a title.
However, regarding the matter of deposing and installing an emperor, Jing Hongchen still felt some hesitation.
