The thought startled Xie An.
If the Red-Cloth Statue and the Dragon Queen weren't the same being... then the secret hidden in the Dragon King Stronghold was far more shocking than he had imagined.
Fortunately, Xie An was no longer the newcomer he had been when he first arrived in this world.
Since the incident at Li Family Village, he had used Ten Thousand Questions to make great strides in martial arts in less than two months. He had also seen his share of strange things.
He could keep his composure now.
Before long, Xie An had a plan.
When Elder Sister returned, he would ask her what figure she pictured for the Spirit Preservation Method.
Then he would ask Lingxi and Gao Hanwen.
By comparing their answers, he should get a rough idea.
If everyone pictured the Red-Cloth Statue, there was nothing more to say.
But if he was the only one who did... he would need to find out why. Otherwise, he would never feel at ease.
Clearing his mind, Xie An immersed himself in the Spirit Preservation Method.
As the Red-Cloth Statue grew clearer in his mind, waves of spiritual ripples spread outward. Xie An kept his thoughts clear, and much of his fear and unease about the Sacrificial Hall faded.
Huh?
Why are the spiritual ripples from the Red-Cloth Statue more than twice as strong as before?
Has my Spirit Preservation Method improved?
Not by that much.
Then it must be this place.
Inside the Sacrificial Hall, the Spirit Preservation Method was twice as effective.
But the Dragon Queen clearly wasn't here...
At that thought, Xie An grew even more curious about the Red-Cloth Statue.
Unfortunately, he was shut inside with no one to ask. He suppressed his curiosity and focused on cultivating the Spirit Preservation
