Chapter 1077

He even knew exactly what flowers Lin Qingruo liked to use for her bath and roughly how long she bathed.

But Xu Chen could simply endure it no longer.

He had observed for a month, yet found not a single clue or result.

This was the first time he had ever acted to no avail.

Under normal circumstances, by this time, he would have already obtained the Emperor Dao.

Therefore, Xu Chen was about to leave.

However, just as he was on the verge of departing, he paused in surprise.

Because he suddenly realized that Lin Qingruo seemed to have developed a problem.

A problem that was abnormal for an ordinary person.

"Buzz!"

Just as Xu Chen was about to leave.

He suddenly realized that Lin Qingruo, who had been perfectly normal just moments ago,

suddenly emitted light from her body in that instant.

As the light radiated out, there was also a faint, extraordinary aura.

Xu Chen frowned first, after all, he seemed never to have felt such an aura before.

Then he looked utterly confused, before suddenly realizing the truth.

Wait, although he had never seen this aura, it seemed to carry a hint of familiarity.

It looked just like a familiar stranger.

He pondered continuously, strange, exactly where did the familiarity lie?

After pondering for a long time, a lightning bolt suddenly flashed through Xu Chen's mind.

Wait!

Damn, this aura does not seem to be a human's aura.

It is not that she is a Divine Soul.

Rather, this aura of hers feels like... the aura of a Jade Pendant.

He had seen many Ancient Jade pendants from ancient clans before.

Naturally, he had a clear understanding of their auras.

At this moment, seeing the aura radiating from Lin Qingruo.

He could clearly feel that it possessed the same aura as the previous five Jade Pendants.

After all, according to legend, these Eight Great Ancient Jades were originally one.

Although later strange and bizarre events occurred, making their auras less identical.

But the essential aura was absolutely the same.

In other words, what Lin Qingruo was now radiating was the aura of the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant.

Xu Chen began to analyze:

The first possibility is that Lin Qingruo was nourished or cared for by the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant.

Thus causing the aura of the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant to be present on Lin Qingruo.

If that were the case, searching Lin Qingruo should reveal the whereabouts of the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant.

The second possibility is that Lin Qingruo swallowed the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant, which is why she has its aura.

The third possibility is that Lin Qingruo was influenced by the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant.

This influence might be because the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant possesses intelligence.

Or it might not; it could simply be that the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant is too powerful, causing her to be affected.

As for the fourth possibility?

Xu Chen felt there was none.

These three possibilities already encompass everything.

As for which one it specifically is, he can simply use Lin Qingruo as the subject and deduce it.

After all, what he deduced before was the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant, not Lin Qingruo.

Because if he directly deduced Lin Qingruo, the people behind Lin Qingruo would know.

As long as that Heavenly Secret cultivator wanted to protect Lin Qingruo, Xu Chen's use of Heavenly Secret deduction would definitely be discovered.

That person is stronger than Xu Chen; this is an unavoidable fact.

...... 0

"Hehe, but even so, I must still deduce it."

Xu Chen said cheerfully in his heart.

Perhaps his current realm is lower than that of the person behind Lin Qingruo.

Unable to use the power of the Heavenly Secret Law one hundred percent.

But it does not matter; the other party might not have mastered the Heavenly Secret Law either.

Right now, within the entire Dalu, those who can master the Heavenly Secret Law.

Aside from Zhao Qingyun, are only him.

He does not rule out the possibility that others can also learn it.

But this possibility is very low.

Having thought thus, Xu Chen chuckled lightly and began to calculate Lin Qingruo.

With this calculation, Xu Chen's pupils contracted slightly.

Because he had discovered the true secret of the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant.

...... Dead.
