CHAPTER 540: CHAPTER 242 XIAO YINRUO: WITNESS THE WORLD, WITNESS ALL BEINGS, WITNESS ONESELF_2

"Emperor Shitian should have more than one reincarnated body."

The expression of the Great Infinite Buddha suddenly changed.

······

Golden Dragon Soul Valley.

The peaks of this mountain range, sprawling like a crouching dragon for tens of thousands of miles, no longer displayed those eleven gloomy Dharma Golden Bodies.

Yet the eerie forests and the ground scattered with bones remained unchanged.

Once again arriving at the pit piled with bones, Xiao Yinruo couldn’t help but frown slightly.

The Spirit Gathering Array here had clearly been activated, but it still couldn’t restore Spiritual Power.

Looking towards the two Buddha Lights in the far distance, Xiao Yinruo formed a spell with one hand and couldn’t help but frown: "Emperor Shitian is quite unreliable, but being able to use my original cultivation is good news."

Lu Jin’an replied with a "hmph", the Buddha Light manifesting from a distance could drive the Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Gathering Array, so if Emperor Shitian truly intended to help, the Spirit Gathering Array here shouldn’t reject any cultivator.

However, fortunately, there’s no gray mist now, so there’s no need to waste extra Spiritual Power to resist the Dead Tide.

"Bao Huo Buddha and Bao Yue Buddha are not to be feared." Xiao Yinruo squeezed Lu Jin’an’s hand: "But the entrance to the Dead Tide we entered has now become impassable, if I want to break it, I’ll fearfully exhaust my Spiritual Power.

And right now, it’s unknown what Emperor Shitian’s intentions are..."

Recalling Emperor Shitian’s gaze and tone when he had been focusing on Lu Jin’an earlier, Xiao Yinruo faintly felt that Emperor Shitian had some ideas concerning Jin’an.

But what kind of ideas might he hold about Jin’an?

She pondered as she heard Lu Jin’an sigh: "If a person in such a high position does evil, the destruction is even greater because no one will believe he’s a bad person."

Xiao Yinruo patted his back: "Maybe it’s just overthinking, let’s first find an opportunity to quickly settle Bao Huo Buddha and Bao Yue Buddha."

With those words, Xiao Yinruo intended to carry Lu Jin’an to find a hidden place, to quickly resolve Bao Huo Buddha and Bao Yue Buddha through ambush.

This was the best way to minimize the expenditure of Spiritual Power.

However, they had barely taken a few steps when a sudden dragon roar from behind caused her to swiftly pull Lu Jin’an aside, cautiously watching a hundred-foot dragon transform into a woman and descend to the ground.

She unconsciously protected Lu Jin’an behind her, watching the barely alive female dragon.

Although Lu Jin’an had already told her the female dragon had communicated with him, who knows what mindset this female dragon harbors?

Especially since this is a genuine Dragon Saint.

Even if it’s barely alive now, who knows what trump cards it might still have.

Xiao Yinruo drew ’Still Water Runs Deep’, expressionless as she walked towards the female dragon.

"Wait, wait." Yuan Li’s face changed slightly, looking at Lu Jin’an: "Now you must listen to your Sect Master Zheng, right?"

"You lack sincerity." Xiao Yinruo raised the longsword in her hand lightly, at this moment the female dragon should directly reveal the secrets she’s hiding, instead of stalling here.

"You..." Yuan Li’s face darkened, black fire surging around her, just as she was about to prop herself up, her expression suddenly changed, and the next moment she clutched her heart and began to wail in agony.

Lu Jin’an quickly called out "Aunt Ruo", then hastily took out the Netherworld Validation and approached the female dragon, plunging the Netherworld Validation into Yuan Li’s forehead with Xiao Yinruo’s assistance at the precise moment her convulsions ceased.

Yin Ming Qi surged out, and an array based on the rules of the four directions appeared at Lu Jin’an’s feet, slowly expanding towards Yuan Li’s whole body.

Lu Jin’an, with a serious expression, formed spells, feeling the pitch-black Death Qi surging inside Yuan Li, not daring to have the slightest negligence.

After all, this was a Dragon Saint, and it was his first time transforming a Dragon Saint into a Corpse Dragon, which was naturally much more difficult than before.

But fortunately, Yuan Li no longer had the means to resist, even if she was a Dragon Saint in life, in death she was not much of a threat.

And the spell he learned from the Netherworld was enough to uncover all of Yuan Li’s hidden secrets.

Xiao Yinruo watched Lu Jin’an’s actions thoughtfully, it wasn’t the first time she had seen Lu Jin’an use this spell, but it was the first time seeing the entire process.

This made her recall a sentence in the Taoist sect’s classic "Outer Objects": Dead Water Returning Yin, Live Water Returning Yang.

Returning the dead to yin in the mortal world... This child has achieved near mastery of Life and Death Rules akin to Netherworld Law.

But...why did this female dragon suddenly collapse?

"Aunt Ruo." Lu Jin’an spoke: "Can the demon energy inside this dragon be used?"

Xiao Yinruo pondered briefly, then decided to gather the Spiritual Power within Yuan Li.

However, not to convert it into Spiritual Power suited to her Water attribute.

After all, to convert Fire attribute Spiritual Power into Water attribute, one must first let fire generate earth, then earth generate gold, and finally gold generate water.

And demon energy differs from Spiritual Power, making conversion more troublesome,

The process was troublesome to say the least, and additionally, a significant loss and waste of Spiritual Power would occur during the conversion, hence rather than do so, it was better to directly convert Yuan Li’s demon energy into a spell for attack.

"How much do you need?" Xiao Yinruo asked softly.

"A third will do." Lu Jin’an diligently formed spells, simultaneously sealing Yuan Li’s memories with Soul Power.

The memories of Yuan Li, who had lived for so long, seemed boundless like the vast sea, and exploring them now was evidently not a wise choice, so preserving them was necessary, to be examined slowly upon returning.

Xiao Yinruo surreptitiously glanced at Lu Jin’an as he transformed Yuan Li, and when she had gathered the demon energy, she immediately saw Lu Jin’an’s expression change, prompting her to ask: "What’s wrong?"
