The Great Path to Heaven (1/3)

Time flies, and years pass quickly.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

In the past month, I have successfully recovered from my injuries.

And, quite awkwardly, he offered to help Li Household Village repair the blue brick road that he had previously damaged.

The road is finally finished today.

Yue also planned to formally bid farewell to Li Boyang and return to Great Xia.

After all, although he successfully shed his identity as the "incarnation of the Witch King" with Li Boyang's help, his sense of identification with the Great Xia and the Witch King was genuine.

However, before leaving, he tentatively asked Li Jingshu if she would be willing to go to Great Xia with him.

To be honest, his fondness for Li Jingshu is obvious.

Even after Li Jingshu explicitly refused, Yue still taught her some basic Witch Law and combat skills. In his words, this girl was just too suitable to inherit what he had learned in his lineage.

Their superhuman physical abilities and intelligence far surpass those of ordinary Mountain Folk.

Coupled with his cunning yet resolute character, he is practically the perfect disciple of one's dreams.

Unfortunately, Li Jingshu wasn't interested in it at all.

In Li Jingshu's view, Yue was a defeated opponent of her younger brother and had no right to be her teacher.

Fortunately, although Li Jingshu did not think she was qualified to be her teacher, she was not foolish enough to reject the other party's kindness to his face.

Li Jingshu accepted almost all of the Witch Law and combat techniques that the other party taught her.

Especially for those magical Witch Law,

Li Jingshu's talent and studious spirit once again made people shake their heads in regret.

It is absolutely certain that as long as Li Jingshu is willing to return to the Great Xia with him, his own Great Shaman will definitely take her as an apprentice.

Ordinary Witch Law is easy to learn, and slightly more difficult Witchcraft Incantation are no problem either. As for combat skills?

Although Li Boyang had never taught Li Jingshu specific fighting techniques.

However, the foundation and physical qualities that Li Boyang laid for Li Jingshu enabled her to easily learn various highly difficult combat techniques and fighting styles.

"You really don't want to come to Great Xia with me?"

Standing at the entrance of Li Household Village, the person about to leave couldn't help but ask one last question.

"No, I won't go. Great Xia is your home, but this is my home."

Standing beside her mother, Li Jingshu's answer was as firm as ever.

On the contrary, Li Jingshu's mother seemed to want to say something but ultimately remained silent.

The desire for one's son to succeed is the greatest hope of parents in any era.

Watching her own daughter repeatedly reject a promising offer...

It would be absolutely impossible for Li Jingshu's mother to have felt no emotional reaction whatsoever.

However, upon thinking of Li Boyang's existence, Li Jingshu's mother wisely remained silent.

"Fine, you're right, this is your home."

"However, my invitation is still valid--"

"When you ever want to see the world, you can come find me at Stone Knob in Great Xia."

He chuckled and ruffled Li Jingshu's hair, giving her a few words of advice despite her disgusted look.

"Besides, what your younger brother said is actually correct--"

"Witch Law and Witchcraft Incantation are ultimately minor arts; they should be used as sparingly as possible."

"Especially those poisonous curses that come at a price; avoid using them unless absolutely necessary."

"No, you should learn more about Law Technique and Divine Ability from your younger brother! That's the path to heaven you should take."

Hearing this lecture, Li Jingshu couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath.

"You didn't teach me any powerful Witchcraft Incantation anyway—"

Li Jingshu was very interested in Witchcraft Incantation.

Unfortunately, Yue himself was not a traditional sorcerer; he had only learned Witchcraft Incantation to enhance and assist himself in battle.

"Haha, that's true. After all, I only learned some Witchcraft Incantation for self-defense after becoming Sikou!"

Finally, he smiled and waved to Li Jingshu and her daughter, then turned and spread his wings without hesitation.

Using the flying techniques he had only recently learned in the past month, he left this paradise with great elegance.

Are you really just going to let that Yue leave like that?

Yawning and sprawled on a bamboo chair, Xiluo witnessed the farewell scene unfolding through the perspective of the village's shrine statue.

How can this be called permissiveness?

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang retorted without even looking up.

"He's a human, not a dog—"

"If someone wants to leave, am I supposed to chain them up?"

Gently licking her paws, Xiluo rolled her eyes in annoyance.

You know perfectly well that's not what I meant—

Knowing perfectly well that Li Boyang was feigning ignorance, Xiluo immediately changed the subject.

"To be honest, those combat techniques are nothing special."

"You really trust that girl to learn Witchcraft Incantation from that half-baked guy?"

"As far as I know, Witchcraft Incantation not only depends heavily on talent, but if learned improperly, it can easily leave various aftereffects."

Premature aging, bloodthirsty ferocity, and even missing limbs are not uncommon.

Xiluo paused slightly at this point.

"If that girl really wants to learn these things, she might as well become my priestess."

"At least my Invocation Law doesn't have all those messy side effects; she just needs to learn how to make me happy."

"Invocation Law" is the power bestowed upon priests by the gods, and its source comes from the gods themselves.

Theoretically speaking, as long as it's not some random evil god or an overuse of divine power, it's practically impossible for any irreversible aftereffects to occur.

At most, it's just a slight change in appearance, making them look more and more like the god they believe in.

In a sense, this is also a major reason why Li Boyang, whose hair and skin are reddish, is regarded as the "Son of the Mountain God".

If one didn't know the details beforehand, anyone would assume that Xiluo doted on Li Boyang, which would explain why he developed such striking abnormal characteristics at such a young age.

"Once you understand the essence of Witch Law, it's not as difficult to learn as you imagine."

Finally putting down his work, Li Boyang looked up and spoke, a rare occurrence for him.

"Moreover, that girl has undergone Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment," her meridians are clear, her body is strong, and her Life Primordial Qi is overflowing. She can practically be described as a born saintly body for learning Witch Law.

"If even she has to pay a price to learn it, then it can only mean that the Witch Law itself has a huge flaw."

"I believe he has that much understanding; he certainly wouldn't teach those flawed Witch Law to the girl."

Xiluo raised an eyebrow slightly, and only then did she finally feel completely at ease.

"So you had everything planned all along?"

"If I had known it would turn out like this, why would I have bothered with all this!"

Retracting her attention from the statue at the entrance of Li Household Village, Xiluo rolled her eyes again.

"So, what exactly are you doing right now?"

"You've been busy like this for a month now, haven't you? Still fiddling with this useless bamboo?"
