Chapter 1385: Dialogue with the Illusory Sound Shen Yu! (14)

At this moment, Xu Chen sought to gain the recognition of the Illusory Sound Shen Yu.

He directly transformed his aura, becoming radiant and imbued with righteous might.

Under these circumstances, if the Illusory Sound Shen Yu recognizes him, then he's gained a windfall.

If not, it doesn't matter—it wasn't his goal to begin with.

His goal was simply: if he gains, he's happy; if he doesn't, he doesn't care.

Soon, he pressed his hand against the Illusory Sound Shen Yu again.

This time, indeed, there was no rebound.

He even sensed that the Illusory Sound Shen Yu was undergoing intense spiritual thought disturbances.

It seemed to want to say something, yet could not speak.

Just as Xu Chen was about to voice a question.

He felt the surroundings around him changing.

The figures of Jiang Youruo, Jiang Qingyi, and Luo Caiwei vanished.

In their place appeared a room he had never seen before, glowing with light.

The room was constructed entirely of luminous bricks.

It was roughly one hundred square meters.

Xu Chen stood within it and felt no oppression.

No spiritual thought pressure, no Spiritual Qi pressure.

Moreover, he saw no human figures within it.

He was utterly curious—what exactly was going on?

Just as he was about to act, a female voice suddenly spoke:

"What is your name?"

Xu Chen was stunned—was this the Jade Pendant's Spirit?

Strange, why is it a woman?

He nodded and said: "I am Xu Chen. May I ask who you are?"

Before learning her identity, he thought it best to remain humble.

The female voice said: "I am an unformed Jade Pendant's Spirit, yet already conscious, unable to leave, but able to draw others in."

Xu Chen suddenly understood: "So you brought me in here—why?"

The female voice said: "You have great talent and righteous might. You must be the one I seek."

Xu Chen smirked—of course he did.

This Imperial Dao, called Zhengqi Imperial Dao, was something he had stumbled upon by chance.

Though ranked one hundred and six, it only possesses the ability to convert into righteous energy.

But it is truly imbued with righteous might.

He spoke without exaggeration.

If Ye Xuan stood here with him, his righteous might might even be more overwhelming.

Zhengqi Imperial Dao is no joke.

It can deceive even reality, becoming more real than the real.

Thinking this, Xu Chen immediately said: "The person you say you seek—who exactly is that?"

The female voice said: "Someone who must save the world."

Xu Chen immediately replied: "But I have no such grand ambition."

The female voice said: "If you are the Destined Person, you will walk this path eventually. Do not worry."

Xu Chen clicked his tongue—this must be referring to Ye Xuan; no one else would fit.

Had he accidentally stepped into Ye Xuan's role?

He said nothing—this suited him perfectly, for it would let him gain the power of the Illusory Sound Shen Yu.

Then wouldn't that be wonderful?

Absolutely wonderful.

Thinking this, Xu Chen said: "Is that so? Perhaps. Right now, my heart is calm—I only wish to cultivate."

The Illusory Sound Shen Yu said: "To wish to cultivate is right. I have great faith in your future. Strive, young man."

Xu Chen said: "So does this mean I can now become the master of the Illusory Sound Shen Yu?"

The female voice said: "More precisely, I am temporarily granting you control over the Illusory Sound Shen Yu."

Xu Chen was stunned: "What does that mean?"

The female voice said:

"It means simply this: if you ever turn evil, I will forcibly strip you of your power.

This is my purpose—I will never allow an evil person to possess the Jade Pendant.

Otherwise, without me, the Illusory Sound Shen Yu would be destroyed."

Xu Chen suddenly understood and asked further: "What if I simply no longer wish to possess it—what then?"

He asked this most critical question.

To him, this mattered more than any other question.
