Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 78 - The Art of Guiding

"You mean...commonality? The commonality of souls?" Qian Lingyun asked.

"Yes, we share a soul connection. As long as this condition is met, I am confident that I can help you accomplish this task."

Within Qian Lingyun's already nascent spiritual sea, Electrolux had transformed from the initial gray bead into a phantom human form. Although still quite flimsy, it was no longer a concern that it would shatter easily.

The reason he recovered so quickly was inseparable from the benefits brought by the Rakshasa God position in the deepest part of Qian Lingyun's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Is the Sea of ​​Spirits interconnected?" Qian Lingyun pondered for a moment before asking, "Teacher, there's a saying here: where auspicious beasts reside, all beasts are protected. Their status is supreme, and humans can guide them. Auspicious protection brings boundless prospects."

"If I connect with her through this process, wouldn't we be able to achieve a spiritual connection?"

"Hmm... I don't know much about the rules of your world, but since it's possible, you might as well give it a try. Anyway, I think this little guy seems to like you quite a bit, so you might as well just tell her the truth."

"Who knows, you might just make a new friend who'd be there for you through thick and thin!" Electrox said, before returning to the depths of the Sea of ​​Spirit. By purifying the Rakshasa divine thoughts emanating from the Rakshasa's divine position, he obtained pure divine thoughts to nourish his own soul.

He has been doing this all these years. If it weren't for his diligent work day and night to purify these evil divine thoughts, Qian Lingyun would probably have become a deranged lunatic long ago.

Back in reality, Qian Lingyun sighed and hugged the three-eyed golden lion's neck, saying, "Forget it, I don't blame you. I can only blame myself for not taking good care of Dong XZ."

"Hehehe, that's more like it! Be more generous, be more magnanimous..." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion just stared with its big eyes at the defeated Qian Lingyun and kept laughing like an idiot.

"My auspicious beast! Do you believe in fate?" Qian Lingyun suddenly asked mysteriously.

This serious question startled the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who then asked Qian Lingyun in confusion after a long while, "Why are you asking this? I am an imperial auspicious beast that controls the fortune of the stars! Of course I believe in fate."

"Oh, so you believe that even you, who controls destiny, can be bound, manipulated, exploited, and toyed with by it?" Qian Lingyun's expression was serious, all traces of her previous cynicism gone. With unprecedented solemnity, she gripped the three-eyed golden lion's restless little paws and said in a deep voice:

"I saw your destiny through the endless fog. Driven by destiny, you were corrupted by an outsider. You are no longer yourself, but live under another identity."

"Impossible! I am an imperial mythical beast. Who could possibly toy with my fate? Unless it is…"

The three-eyed golden lion shouted loudly until she saw the faint divine emblem on Qian Lingyun's forehead. Then she swallowed hard and managed to utter the remaining words: "God... God can manipulate... fate."

"..." Qian Lingyun didn't speak, but just looked at her quietly.

"You...you're telling the truth?" the three-eyed golden lion asked dejectedly, her three large eyes suddenly welling up with tears.

"I saw it, but I can't believe that nothing can be changed..." Qian Lingyun shook her head and hugged the three-eyed golden lion's big head into her arms, asking affectionately, "Are you willing to believe me? I have a way to try."

"Really? What method?" The three-eyed golden lion looked at Qian Lingyun suspiciously. After thinking for a while, it awkwardly put its paw on Qian Lingyun's shoulder, leaned in and asked curiously, "Then... tell me first."

"Do you know about guidance? I can try to change all of this by guiding you, but... I can't guarantee that I will succeed."

"Guide? Why should I trust a human I've only known for a few days?" The three-eyed golden lion suddenly pulled back its forelimbs, took several steps back, and looked at Qian Lingyun warily.

"Because if I wanted to harm you, I would have done it already, wouldn't I?" Qian Lingyun smiled slightly, took a step forward, bent down, and squatted in front of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, sincerely analyzing the situation for her:

"When my sister and Brigitte went to the ominous place, I had the opportunity to force you to guide me. I could also take the opportunity to guide you while you were eating the Fire Dragon's head."

"Even when you ate that rare and precious chrysanthemum, I could still have guided you, but I didn't!"

"Even now, I could use the excuse of trapping you here forever to force you to comply, but I still haven't done it."

After saying that, Qian Lingyun raised her hand and opened a gate to the outside world, a gate for the dead. She grabbed the three-eyed golden lion's left forelimb, pressed it against her chest, and whispered, "We can try. If you feel something is wrong, you can destroy my heart and then go out through the door behind you!"

"You...you...you bastard..."

The three-eyed golden lion stammered a curse, glaring fiercely at Qian Lingyun. Seeing only honesty, it withdrew its forelegs and paced irritably in front of Qian Lingyun several times before finally speaking in that familiar yet awkward tone:

"Hmph, it's just a matter of guiding others, it won't kill you. Come on, I'll reluctantly give it a try today! Consider it an apology for consuming so many of your herbs!"

Before Qian Lingyun could react, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion lunged forward, pinning her down and pressing its forehead against hers.

The next instant, both Qian Lingyun and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's bodies trembled violently.

The divine emblem on Qian Lingyun's forehead flashed slightly, and the powerful soul force within her body poured out wildly, flooding into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body and raising the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cultivation level by a step.

This round of feedback increased the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cultivation by approximately two thousand years.

Corresponding to the Eye of Destiny atop the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's forehead is the Rakshasa emblem formed by Qian Lingyun's two scythes. With the help of the Eye of Destiny, the symbols of the dark purple Rakshasa emblem gradually changed.

In the center of the divine emblem, where spiderwebs and sickles intertwine, a purple vertical pupil appears, with many net-like purple lines extending from it, tightly intertwined with the surrounding symbols.

Even more astonishingly, the dark purple vertical pupil at the very center of the Rakshasa emblem was emitting a faint golden light, giving Qian Lingyun's entire emblem a touch of gold.

"Teacher, how is it?" Qian Lingyun asked Electrolux even in her confusion.

"Don't worry, we'll find it soon." During the time he was guided, Electrox used his godlike abilities to find the different part of the Three-Eyed Lion's soul.

It was the figure of a girl, a pink-and-blue-haired girl who was asleep, hoping to be awakened by some opportunity.

Electrolux was about to pull it out when he was pushed away by a strange force.

"Huh?" Electrox let out a soft exclamation, watching in surprise as the divine consciousness fled into the distance.

"With me here, where can you run to?" Electrox sneered and attacked again.

It's important to know that Electrox is a necromancer who is almost godlike, and few in the world can rival him in his mastery of the soul realm.

With just a slight movement, he had already exposed the fleeing divine sense!

"Come here!" Electrolux waved his hand, and more than a dozen sharp gray-black scythes materialized behind him. They bypassed the three-eyed golden lion's soul essence and hooked the escaping divine consciousness from various angles, forcibly pulling it back.

Looking at the girl's consciousness that was bound in his hands, Electrolux finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be on the safe side, he almost completely drained Qian Lingyun's mental energy the moment he made his move.

"Teacher, how are you?" Qian Lingyun asked weakly in a low voice.

"With my expertise, success is assured!" Electrolux replied with a chuckle and a deep voice.

Having separated the part of its divine consciousness that did not belong to it, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion swayed its body in a daze and stumbled back a few steps.

Its third eye had changed from gold to purple. If you looked closely, you could see a sickle-shaped symbol deep in the auspicious beast's pupil.

In an instant, it turned golden again.

The three-eyed golden lion seemed somewhat astonished, staring blankly at the haggard-looking Qian Lingyun, and asked in confusion, "What did you put on me?"

"A wonderful thing to protect you from being bullied! With it, the one who guides you again will not only have to contend with the backlash of fate, but also be corrupted by evil forces."

As she spoke, Qian Lingyun's lips curled slightly, and she lay down to sleep.
