The feud between cat and dog (1/3)

Dark clouds covered the sky; a downpour was imminent.

At the top of Ghost God Cliff on Flying Peak, the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron is still burning fiercely.

The commotion from the outside world had absolutely no effect on the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron, much less on the Black Dragon inside, which was still emitting a soothing groan.

"That kid's creating monsters again."

Without a sound, the Big Black Dog's voice suddenly came from behind Xiluo.

Just like his two previous appearances.

The Big Black Dog still manifested in a spiritual form, as if its Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body.

However, unlike before, the Big Black Dog was no longer in a purely spiritual form this time, but had a certain degree of illusory physical form.

"Yin Deity?"

Her pupils contracted sharply, and Xiluo immediately recognized the true nature of the Big Black Dog's current state.

Li Boyang divided the Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body into three stages.

The first stage is pure spirituality, a state similar to that of a ghost, unable to touch the material world.

The second stage, which he called "Yin Deity," was a form that he manifested by combining the principles of the birth of Baleful Ghost and allowing the Primordial Spirit to attach itself to a special substance or primordial Yuan Qi.

Only by reaching the third stage, where the Primordial Spirit and the Cognitive Spirit are fully unified and Yin-Yang Balance, can one transform oneself into a natural incarnation similar to Heavenly Deity.

Because the Primordial Spirit at this stage is no longer afraid of sunlight and can even transform into natural disasters, Li Boyang specifically calls it the "Yang God".

"Haha, you have quite a good eye!"

"It seems that kid really shared everything he knew with you, but unfortunately he misjudged him."

His words betrayed an undisguised jealousy.

When the Big Black Dog said this, it deliberately made its body transparent.

Thus, Xiluo was also able to clearly see the flowing and changing meridian structure inside the Big Black Dog's body.

Although compared to the spiritual body that Li Boyang created by imitating the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams and the acupoints of the Zhou Tian, the meridian structure of the Big Black Dog appeared extremely rudimentary.

But there is no doubt that the Big Black Dog has indeed reached the realm of "Yin Deity" (a powerful spirit or deity).

Using one's own shadow as a vessel, and drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that was forcibly expelled from the body, as its conduit...

The Big Black Dog, modeled after the body structure of a mountain dog, constructed a unique Yin Deity that belonged only to him.

Once the Yin Deity takes shape, even if the Big Black Dog's physical body is still trapped in the Ghost God Cave, it cannot stop him from traveling thousands of miles in an instant and traversing mountains in his Primordial Spirit form.

"I'm starting to regret letting that doll get in touch with you."

A faint flame ignited around her, Xiluo bared her teeth, threatening the Big Black Dog.

"Don't think you can escape Ghost God Cliff like this! Your original body is still here!"

"As long as you haven't cultivated into a ' Yang God,' and as long as I kill your physical body, your Yin Deity will dissipate with the sunrise the next day."

When the Yang God leaves the body, it can exist independently of the physical body, and can even undergo countless transformations, becoming one with the heavens, in harmony with the Dao, and with endless lifespan.

This is a realm that even Li Boyang himself is still exploring; he calls it "Refining Spirit and Returning to Void."

Although Xiluo didn't know what "Refining Spirit and Returning to Void" meant, all she needed to know was how to deal with the Big Black Dog.

"You're right, that body is still my weakness!"

Faced with Xiluo's threats, the Big Black Dog bared its teeth and growled in a low voice.

"No matter what form I take, no matter what power I possess, that body is the bondage bestowed upon me by Wu Yao."

Even if a thousand years have passed, even if I have given up the power of the gods, this lock will forever remind me of what I have been through.

Taking a deep breath, the Big Black Dog forcibly suppressed his anger and continued speaking.

"Fine, I didn't come here to argue with you."

"I suppose you noticed that unusual celestial phenomenon too. Did the doll tell you what it was all about?"

After the Big Black Dog reminded him like that.

Xiluo turned her head in a daze and looked into the distance, where she saw the dark clouds that were constantly encroaching on the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

"Don't tell me you didn't even notice this unusual celestial phenomenon!?"

Without Xiluo needing to say a word, the Big Black Dog could see the clue on the other's face, and he immediately burst out cursing, "You ignorant, careless, stupid cat!"

"How could Wu Yao have ended up falling for a heartless bastard like you?"

Just as Xiluo was about to be scolded as well, the Big Black Dog suddenly sighed listlessly.

Since the child didn't tell you, I won't dwell on this issue any longer.

"I only have one last question now: do you know why my memory is incomplete?"

Upon hearing the Big Black Dog's words, Xiluo's anger instantly turned into vigilance.

Even its back arched unconsciously, adopting a typical hunting posture of a feline.

"So you did know, this was also done by Wu Yao?"

A hint of sadness unconsciously crept onto his face.

The Big Black Dog felt both unexpected surprise and understandable sadness.

From any perspective, the Big Black Dog didn't consider himself Wu Yao's true enemy, so he simply couldn't understand why she would be so ruthless towards him.

"Hmph! Don't even think about getting any information out of me."

Unmoved by the Big Black Dog's sorrowful expression, Xiluo continued to watch him warily.

Even after a thousand years, Xiluo dared not forget the terrifying true nature of this "Heaven-Eroding Lord".

No matter how "weak" the other party may appear now, his essence is still that of a tyrant who devours the heavens and the sun.

"Silly cat, I already know my memories are incomplete, so finding those memories is just a matter of time."

"This is not a big problem for me, who has already cultivated to the Primordial Spirit."

The Big Black Dog was telling the truth. From the moment his Primordial Spirit Manifestation, he was already aware of all his flaws and imperfections.

Memory is only a part of it, and it's not even the most important one.

Given time, with the help of the Primordial Spirit, the Big Black Dog will gradually repair all its flaws until it becomes the most perfect creature.

This path may not be Li Boyang's path, but it is certainly the most suitable direction for the Big Black Dog.

Don't try to recapture that memory, because you'll regret it.

When I heard the Big Black Dog say that...

Xiluo finally lowered her guard and spoke in a slightly deep tone.

In that instant, the Big Black Dog felt as if he were seeing that witch from a thousand years ago again—her hypocritical and naive appearance was exactly the same.

"Don't talk like that guy! You don't have the right!"

With its eyes wide with rage, the Big Black Dog uttered a vicious threat before disappearing from Xiluo's sight Xiluo, however, merely stared calmly at the spot where the Big Black Dog had vanished, her expression a stark contrast to her usual Xiluo.

"I'm not lying to you, you'll regret this."
