Chapter 519: Chapter 335. Those who play mind games are filthy at heart! (8000-word goal achieved)_2

Only fools who lack insight would ever consider omitting that part.

"So let’s get down to the main topic. Based on everything I’ve just said, this is what I want to request from Beichuan Master. Only by reactivating Izumi Shrine and awakening the Divine Tree can the Yihui Island residents have something to cling to after death. With the Divine Tree, the chances of survival for celestial beings will also be greater. It’s not like now, relying solely on the weak human proxies, making it very hard for celestial beings to manifest."

Ihui Nai Luo brought the conversation back and spoke again.

"Why come to me?" Beichuan Si, however, was not receptive, and just continued to ask.

Ihui Nai Luo glanced sharply at the Shinra Bell tucked next to his water flask, then looked at Nishijou Kurenai perched on his collar, "You’re accompanied by two celestial beings. The power of a celestial being is beyond the reach of ordinary people, that’s reason one."

"And you, as a person who brings great disasters yet managed to survive until today, shows that you have sufficient power to resist calamity; even if you step into that deadly region, you can still survive."

The chilling deathly aura, Ihui Nai Luo still remembered it very clearly.

If that ability could be used to open a pathway...

Ihui Nai Luo eyed Beichuan Si warily, "The twenty-year cycle of great unrest is getting closer, and the Gate of Yellow Springs is stirring restlessly. The regular rituals are not enough to suppress the Gate of Yellow Springs. Only by restarting the shrine that has fallen into the realm of death and reawakening the Divine Tree can it be completely suppressed."

Beichuan Si pondered deeply.

He had only believed half of what Ihui Nai Luo had said just now.

Because the other party was hiding too much.

First, there was the reason for the creation of the realm of death twenty years ago.

Logically, rituals handed down from generation to generation should be strict to the extreme.

Why were there errors? And such an error caused the Divine Tree to wither? If true, then the price was far too great.

Secondly, there was the restarting of Izumi Shrine and the awakening of the Divine Tree.

Was it really as Ihui Nai Luo said?

Retaking Izumi Shrine and the Divine Tree, was that really enough to suppress the Gate of Yellow Springs?

The Divine Tree, which could impact the souls of the islanders... Was its function really that simple?

Beichuan Si had his own opinions on this.

Listen to half, believe half, and act as if the other half was never heard.

But... Ihui Nai Luo needed his help, and that was the best way for him to gather information.

One can’t set up a flawless lie, it’s just that Beichuan Si hadn’t yet discovered where the other party was laying the trap.

After making up his mind, Beichuan Si came back from his thoughts, "Helping you isn’t impossible, just the matter of compensation..."

He looked towards Ihui Nai Luo.

Ihui Nai Luo was not surprised that Beichuan Si was asking for a reward.

Indeed, it was more normal for him to ask her for compensation.

Ihui Nai Luo had also expected this, so she spoke directly, "The Rebirth Technique, I can apply the Rebirth Technique to you, allowing you to become like a celestial being."

Hearing this, Beichuan Si retorted, "Is that all?"

The disdain in his tone was unmasked.

The compensation she offered was embarrassingly meager, turning him into something akin to good spirits and for that, he would have to give up his physical body. It was a joke to him.

Ihui Nai Luo waved her hands, her expression serious, "It is not the antiquated Rebirth Technique that requires the forsaking of the physical body."

Her tone became more solemn, and she let out an unexpected declaration, "It is the complete Rebirth Technique."

The complete Rebirth Technique...?

"Being able to continue existing bodily, as long as the Divine Tree can be awakened, there are sufficient methods to achieve this result."

Ihui Nai Luo’s eyes widened, a touch of madness flashing in her irises.

...

"A spell that allows the spiritual body to be reborn while maintaining the flesh. Even if only the spiritual body remains, there’s no problem, find a body and you can be resurrected..." Beichuan Si recalled Ihui Nai Luo’s earlier promising words and merely shook his head.

Did such a Rebirth Technique truly exist in this world?

Perfect, flawless things... did they really exist?

Thinking of those eyes emanating a hint of maniac brutality, Beichuan Si’s expression changed.

For Ihui Nai Luo to survive with such heavy obsessions, it was no wonder that her good spirits were mixed with impurities.

And that insane obsession, what would it bring to the Yihui Island residents?

Perhaps, this journey to Mikami Forest would yield some answers.

If Beichuan Si had believed about half of what Ihui Nai Luo had said, now it had dropped to around a third.

The words that were spoken in such a state... absolutely not normal.

He thoughtfully flipped to the next page of his notes.

These were the materials Shen Gu Mirai’s parents had entrusted to him.

Although he had learned something about the relationship between Ihui Island and this place from Ihui Nai Luo, Beichuan Si still needed to verify everything, to see if there were any discrepancies in the other party’s words.

However, upon a cursory examination, he could not find any obvious holes in what Ihui Nai Luo had said.

As Beichuan Si continued to review the materials, the Japanese-style paper doors beside him were suddenly knocked on—

Knock knock knock.

"Come in," Beichuan Si said without looking up.

He was now considered a distinguished guest of Ihui Nai Luo, who had even sent a servant to attend to him.

And it seems that this servant would also accompany him to Mikami Forest.

The sliding paper doors were opened, and a small figure was kneeling at the edge.

It was a young girl with an immature face, who looked to be only about eight or nine years old.

She brought in a dinner tray and thoughtfully placed a napkin beside the meal.

"Beichuan Mage, this is your dinner."

She said it respectfully.

"Mm," Beichuan Si nodded.

"Then I shall take my leave..."

"Wait a moment," Beichuan Si set down the materials in his hand and slightly lifted his gaze, "Eat."

He pointed to the Japanese-style dinner on the tray, commanding her ruthlessly.

He was in enemy territory now, and could not easily consume the food provided by the other party.

"But... this... this was prepared for..."

The little girl’s face showed difficulty.

"I told you to eat," Beichuan Si’s expression did not change, his voice carrying a hint of sternness.

The little girl trembled all over and, feeling the weight of Beichuan Si’s gaze, gently nodded her head.

She took a bit from each dish.

Under Beichuan Si’s watchful eye, she swallowed everything down.

"Wait here for a moment." After saying this, Beichuan Si picked up the materials in his hand once more.

The little girl looked somewhat uneasy.

But she obediently sat off to the side.

After about fifteen minutes, Beichuan Si confirmed that nothing was amiss with the girl and finally felt relieved enough to start eating.

However, he did not let the little girl go; instead, he asked while eating, "What is your name?"

"I... I’m called Guang Jiuju," she replied hesitantly.

"Is that so?"

Another name with connotations of Hell?

The ’Nai Luo’ behind Ihui Nai Luo means ’Avici,’ the endless Hell.

As for the name Guang Jiuju, it is a transliteration from Sanskrit... and refers to the first level of the eighteen layers of Hell.

In the Ancient Ryukyu Kingdom, Buddhism was also a very prevalent sect.

The names Ihui Nai Luo and this Ihui Guang Jiuju were definitely not coincidental.

Nai Luo, the Avici Hell... Guang Jiuju, the first level of Hell...

A coincidence for one time, but what about twice?

Choosing a name meaning Avici Hell... could it be that Ihui Nai Luo secretly wished to convey through their name the desire to control the Gate of Yellow Springs?

To control the Yellow Springs as a Spiritual Body?

Things were becoming more and more interesting.

A sparkle flashed in Beichuan Si’s eyes.

He had begun to guess some of Ihui Nai Luo’s hidden intentions.

The other party wanted to use him as a pawn, and he wanted to use the other party to uncover more secrets.

Both individuals were harboring their own schemes, and both were well aware of it.

The forthcoming journey to Mikami Forest would lay everything bare.

Beichuan Si took a deep look at Ihui Guang Jiu—

Then used a napkin to wipe his mouth.
