Seeking only immortality, the Netherworld Lord's invitation (33)
"To achieve transcendence by harmonizing with Heaven and humanity, drawing upon the Primordial Qi..."
"Because this process is so tedious and complicated, even I dare not say that I have achieved true Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven."
His eyes showed disbelief, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
The Heavenly Dog gazed at the dark yellow auspicious cloud above Li Boyang's head.
He felt that the other person was mocking his own "self-righteousness."
"According to my previous explanation of using the physical body as a furnace to refine the elixir, this process can also be called the Nine Revolutions to Form the Core."
"Nine is just a figurative number and has no real meaning."
"The process of refining the essence of all things is endless; perhaps I will not see the end of this path in my lifetime."
"As mysterious and profound as heaven and earth, as enduring as the Great Dao..."
"This Black and Yellow Qi is the manifestation of my self-awareness. As long as this Black and Yellow Qi remains and my Primordial Spirit and Cognitive Spirit endure, I will never lose my self-awareness like Heavenly Deity."
Nodding in realization, the Netherworld Lord on the other side of the Yin World laughed.
"That's an interesting statement. You only seek immortality, and you consider immortality your sole ultimate goal."
"But have you ever considered that immortality is predicated on not dying? Do you have the ability to guarantee your own immortality?"
The Netherworld Lord glanced meaningfully at the Heavenly Dog; the subtext of his words was quite clear.
He did not believe that Li Boyang was capable of defeating the Heavenly Dog in his current state.
If Li Boyang cannot defeat the Heavenly Dog, he may die here, and then how can he continue to talk about immortality?
"Moreover, your sermon can be said to have revealed what most of the gods have been trying their best to cover up."
Even if you are lucky enough to survive this battle, how many more enemies can you repel?
This time, as the Lord spoke, he looked towards the endless flood beyond the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
During that great flood.
A giant water ape is struggling to wield its club, battling against the Tide-Swallowing Clan.
Judging from the other party's intentional or unintentional glances and actions, a considerable number of the gods realized that the water ape's energy was not actually entirely focused on the Tide-Swallowing Clan.
He was also listening to Li Boyang preach and to this debate about Celestial Person and Heavenly Deity.
This alone shows that, in addition to his formidable strength, Water Ape Wuzhiqi must also possess Innate Divine Ability similar to "Wind-Following Ear".
"This is precisely my purpose. As long as I live, it will prove that the Way of the Celestial Person surpasses the Way of the Heavenly Deity."
"More beings in this world will attempt to explore the Way of the Celestial Person..."
"Things like human sacrifice and animal offerings will greatly decrease, and the relationship between gods and humans will no longer be one of confrontation."
Once again, his eyes widened in surprise, and the Netherworld Lord praised him with great admiration.
"With this mindset and this action, even if you ultimately fail, I believe many people will carry on your will."
After saying that, the Netherworld Lord suddenly changed the subject and asked a question.
"Your name is Li Boyang, right?"
"I am currently in need of a Wheel-Turning Yama). If you were to die in this battle, would you be interested in serving under me?"
This sudden invitation once again stunned everyone, including Li Boyang.
However, to the surprise of all the gods, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Li Boyang actually refused the invitation from the Netherworld Lord.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness!"
"It's just a Heavenly Dog; I don't think it has the ability to kill me."
Clearly provoked by Li Boyang's arrogant words, the Heavenly Dog opposite immediately bared its teeth and roared.
Unfortunately, Li Boyang struck first this time before the Heavenly Dog could unleash its power.
Buzz!
In the blink of an eye, the [Taiji Diagram] between the Heavenly Dog's eyebrows suddenly began to rotate.
Startled, the Heavenly Dog instinctively reached out its claws, trying to press down the [Taiji Diagram] that was detaching from itself.
However, Li Boyang's control over the [Taiji Diagram] far exceeded his expectations.
Even though he has been devoured and assimilated by the Heavenly Dog, the true owner of the [Taiji Diagram] is still Li Boyang.
"How is this possible..."
Sensing the Big Black Dog's consciousness reawakening, the Heavenly Dog uncontrollably tried to get away from Li Boyang.
Before he could take any concrete action, a vast and immense Divine Ability power froze him in place.
"In terms of pure strength and foundation, I am indeed inferior to you now..."
"But combat is never just about strength and resources, especially at our level."
"Your own weaknesses are the key factor in determining the outcome of a battle, and your weaknesses are far too obvious."
When the [Taiji Diagram] completely detached from the Heavenly Dog's brow and slowly fell into Li Boyang's palm.
The various strange phenomena that originally appeared due to the disruption of the Yin-Yang order gradually disappeared...
The reflection of the Yin World in the mortal realm is also disappearing in sync with it...
"Your lower body has already cultivated to the Primordial Core and Primordial Spirit stages, truly unlocking the threshold to the path of immortality."
"Therefore, even if you forcibly merge with it using the power of the Taiji Diagram, its Primordial Spirit still exists within this body."
"I don't even need to actually fight you; without the Taiji Diagram, you'll naturally have an old rival..."
As if to confirm Li Boyang's statement, a shadow suddenly rose on the neck of the Heavenly Dog.
"That kid's right, your opponent is me!"
The Big Black Dog's voice came from inside the Heavenly Dog's body.
The shadow quickly materialized into a dog's head.
Correspondingly, half of the control over this body also returned to the Big Black Dog's hands.
"Awoo!" x2
And so, right under everyone's noses, and surrounded by countless Ghost God.
The two heads of the Heavenly Dog began to tear at each other, and the originally terrifying scene suddenly became somewhat comical.
"Awoo!" x2
Similar abilities, identical memories, sharing the same body...
When the two heads of the Heavenly Dog were viciously tearing at each other, the phrase "chaos ensued" perfectly described their current state.
It was originally the Heaven-Eroding Lord.
They briefly merged into one under the influence of the [Taiji Diagram].
Guirong Clan and the Big Black Dog now know each other inside and out, yet they are both powerless against each other.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even so, when they started tearing at each other, they still stirred up the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi once again.
Seeing this, the Ghost God that had paused briefly because of Li Boyang's sermon also began to howl and flee again.
"Li Boyang, my promise is valid forever."
I found it somewhat amusing to watch the two heads of the Heavenly Dog fighting amongst themselves.
Even in his final moments before disappearing, the Netherworld Lord still did not forget to recruit Li Boyang.
"After you die, I will personally come to receive your soul..."
"At that time, you will become my deputy, the first Yin World Wheel-Turning Yama. "Netherworld
