Chapter 1487: Wengfaluo Si 3.6 (506)

Shinigami.

"I never imagined that one day I would feel this kind of oppressive presence from San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue."

Since Night Moon appeared, Ichigo Kurosaki's hair stood on end, and the oppressive feeling brought by San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue's face rapidly surged in his heart; he could hardly imagine that if one day in the future San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue were to return to her former self, seeing her again might feel somewhat unfamiliar.

After getting used to her cold and slightly mad style, would her usual lively and noisy personality feel rather unfamiliar?

"Shan Jian Tian? Wu Luo Jing Zi abandoned them? Deceived them? This... feels so confusing." Orihime Inoue rubbed her temples, recalling the words of those Memory Thieves just now, and for a moment felt overwhelmed by the amount of information...

"Does Wu Luo Jing Zi refer to a specific group of people?"

"Probably... these Memory Thieves spoke with resentment soaring to the heavens; if placed in our world, they'd probably all become Hollows." Ichigo Kurosaki said slowly, "The information these Memory Thieves received was to seek the 'Memory' seed, and also the 'God-Fallen Memory,' but judging from their last words... none of this is true. The 'her' mentioned by the Memory Thieves, the one who used them as sacrifices, is 'Wu Luo Jing Zi'."

"In other words, does the Memory Garden have a 'Wu Luo Jing Zi'? Being able to command so many Memory Thieves to go to Wengfaluo Si, the status of this Wu Luo Jing Zi seems not low?" Orihime Inoue pressed further.

"Hmm. But based solely on these four words 'Wu Luo Jing Zi,' we cannot determine whether these people are good or bad, though I have roughly clarified the context of the Memory Garden's actions."

Ichigo Kurosaki raised his hand, pointing at the Memory Thieves hung in bunches in the Sky Curtain, "The Wu Luo Jing Zi in the Memory Garden sensed the disturbance of 'Destruction' in Wengfaluo Si, then deceived a group of Memory Thieves, using the 'God-Fallen Memory' as a lure to have them risk their lives infiltrating Wengfaluo Si, actually using them as cannon fodder, merely to find clues about that Wu Luo Jing Zi's sister."

"As for the 'Shan Jian Tian' they mentioned..." Ichigo Kurosaki's brows gradually furrowed together, "... is this a person's name? Or a place name?"

"The twenty-second layer of the Color Realm Heaven, one of the Three Realms, is Shan Jian Tian."

Shi Jia had pondered in silence for half a day but still couldn't figure out how Shan Jian Tian could be related to this group of Memory Thieves from the Light River Memory Garden.

When the three words "Shan Jian Tian" appeared, Shi Jia froze completely, then sank into deep confusion: Could it be that Buddhism still has a connection to the 'Memory' destiny?

Last time when Dan Lun Temple appeared, he had felt a similar confusion, but now... this confusion not only remained unresolved, but grew even deeper.

"Wu Luo Jing Zi... what is this thing? Sounds like a person?" Hades carefully pondered the meaning of these four words; from the final madness of that Memory Thief, the fact that Wu Luo Jing Zi abandoned them dealt him a significant blow.

"In our Buddhism, 'Wu Luo' is a concept, but I'm unclear whether the 'Wu Luo' in the universe refers to the same meaning." Shi Jia explained, "'Wu Luo' and 'You Luo' are relative concepts; the Wu Luo ones are no longer swayed by afflictions, distant from all outflows, and their merit, wisdom, and blessings do not leak outward."

"This sounds completely unrelated to your 'Wu Luo'; your 'Wu Luo' should be consistent with the realm pursued by the Bu Li people of Dan Lun Temple." Zeus lightly twisted the few strands of beard on his chin, "Those Memory Thieves speaking of 'Wu Luo Jing Zi' are seeking and hunting her sister, which clearly does not resemble what an enlightened being would do."

"Old Master, it's rare that our thoughts align."

The subtle sweetness of the lollipop melted in Shi Jia's mouth; he rarely set aside his usual frivolous demeanor, his expression solemn as he said: "The Memory Garden sending so many Memory Thieves to Wengfaluo Si—could this prove one thing—that Wengfaluo Si has a Wu Luo Jing Zi existing."

"Doesn't that just mean Wengfaluo Si has that Wu Luo Jing Zi's sister?" Apollo curled the corner of his mouth into a smile, for a moment feeling only absurd and ridiculous, "Have you got it wrong? The Imperial Scepter has been sealed for so many years, not even a mosquito can fly in, so how could there be a sister of Wu Luo Jing Zi?"

"While Night Moon blocked Xingqiri, Xilian, lingering in the Star Memory World, made another discovery..."

"She lowered her gaze at the jellyfish floating before her: 'These little guys look scary... but actually not hard to handle.'"

"'But, the surging Memory Tide swept away our companions; we must return to her side before Miss Night Moon succeeds... again this kind of infiltration script, that's fine too! Help me, the inner world of the Star...'"

"Xilian shuttled through the Space Station Interior, and in the distance saw a Destruction Construct wandering about."

"'Scorching and dangerous aura—this is... power of the same origin as Bai E.' She turned to look at the red jellyfish floating beside her, 'Also, like the feeling of Midnight Awakening, mysterious and unfathomable aura... must be Miss Night Moon, I must detour around.'"

"She raised her head, only to see a small light point like a light bulb light up on the stairs."

"'Huh? There's a beam of light... full of vitality, yet uncontrolled, more familiar than the others, seemingly coming from beside someone... is... the Star! Perhaps, it's the 'Star Core' she mentioned before.'"

"'Memories of the Star Core flow in the depths of the Memory Tide...'"

"Xilian followed the light point to a room in the Space Station Interior; in the distance, three red jellyfish floated in place, their bells opening and closing."

"'Really. Gathering so many... little guys, do they know I'm coming? Too enthusiastic, really. Fortunately, the Star's aura hasn't weakened; I feel closer by a bit...'"

"Something beneath the jellyfish suddenly reflected light brightly."

"'Huh, what are they guarding...?' Xilian fixed her gaze, discovering it was a blue camera, 'Star's Memory Stone Machine? How could it be here? Looking closely, these Memory Spirits remain motionless, as if drawn to it...'"

"''"

"Xilian was pondering the connection when suddenly she noticed beside her a... blue-pink gradient jellyfish?"

"'This is...' Xilian approached the jellyfish, curiously examining it up and down, 'A... more adorable Memory Spirit? No wonder the Memory Stone Machine can't hold more memories, is it because you've been hiding inside all along?'"

"'Found... me...' the blue-pink jellyfish emitted intermittent sounds, 'Trail... companion...'"

"Xilian's gaze widened in surprise: 'This... how could it be...? Could it be...?'"

"'My companion... Star... Dan Heng...'"

"Xilian looked at it in disbelief: 'You are... 'San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue'?'"
