Jade Transformation and Sleeplessness, Forever Dwelling in the South Sea (23)

In the depths of the South Sea, amidst the endless ocean.

There are no living creatures, no islands, only endless storms and thunderclouds.

However, just as the sixteen Night-Wandering God were each engaged in fierce battles...

The once turbulent sea suddenly became eerily calm for a moment.

In that very short time, a huge island made entirely of white jade slowly emerged from the water.

If judged by Li Boyang's standards from his previous life, all the white jade on this entire island would be the Higher Vehicle mutton-fat jade.

--Crystal clear, white as solidified fat.

As far as the eye can see, the entire island exudes a warm and pure white feel.

Especially in the very middle of this ocean.

The emergence of such a white White Jade Island gives people an exceptionally tranquil feeling.

Upon closer inspection, one will discover that the entire island presents a sense of remarkable harmony and regularity.

It looks both naturally formed and artificially sculpted...

Most importantly, when the entire island was completely exposed above the sea, the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth began to surge and flow back like a whirlpool.

In an instant, a seven-colored radiance appeared in the sky above the island, which was originally as warm as white jade.

"Celestial Person!"

As the radiant light materialized, an angry voice echoed across the sky above White Jade Island.

[Huh? I thought you were going to keep hiding?]

It was as if it were responding to that angry voice.

Li Boyang, who was fighting Guitong and Wumian, suddenly raised an eyebrow and then looked into the depths of the South Sea.

The next second, the fifteen still-living Night-Wandering God, including Guitong, Wumian, and Youguang, all screamed in unison.

A peculiar jade-like phenomenon is quietly appearing on these fifteen Night-Wandering God.

Just like that White Jade Island.

The remaining fifteen surviving Night-Wandering God gradually turned into white jade.

But they could only watch helplessly, their eyes filled with despair and painful struggle, utterly powerless to stop the spread of this Curse originating from a higher-ranking individual.

[So this is the Curse you've been suffering?]

[His body transformed into white jade, his soul forever imprisoned within the jade body.]

[No wonder Wu Yi didn't kill you; you've been Curse...]

[This must be Curse left behind by some Witch King, right?]

Li Boyang's voice traveled across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, reaching White Jade Island directly.

His nonchalant yet unusually confident tone successfully ignited the fury of White Jade Island.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the side of White Jade Island suddenly cracked open.

In the blink of an eye, a beam of fire shot into the sky, transforming into a long, crimson serpent in mid-air.

Through the eyes of that crimson serpent, Li Boyang could clearly see the uncontrollable rage of the South Sea God.

However, what Li Boyang was more curious about was what this god of the South Sea was planning to do now?

Even separated by thousands of miles, risking the backlash of the Curse to forcibly break free of their restraints—was it all just to see the other's abilities?

Boom!

Just as Li Boyang was pondering this, another huge explosion suddenly rang out.

But this time it wasn't the action of the South Sea God; rather, the surrounding sea surface was bombarded by an invisible force.

When Li Boyang looked closely, a Primordial Spirit, existing between existence and non-existence, appeared out of thin air.

That was the incarnation of Wu Yi's seven great Primordial Spirit —one of the seven great spirits of the seventh Witch King.

However, this primordial Primordial Spirit is now clearly at its limit.

His body would sometimes disappear and sometimes reappear, and his eyes couldn't hide his weariness.

"Li Boyang, I know you're listening right now!"

"I don't know exactly where this Buyan Huyu is at right now..."

"But what I'm telling you is, this guy isn't just about Poseidon!"

"I didn't realize this at first, and that's how I inadvertently fell into His trap, leaving me no choice but to use this Incantation of Jade Transformation and Sleeplessness."

"Unfortunately, my Primordial Spirit is also trapped here."

"If you want to resolve the trouble caused by Buyan Huyu, you'd better act quickly!"

"He is refining my Primordial Spirit little by little, using the very Method of the Celestial Person he obtained from you!"

"My physical body is now dead, Primordial Spirit is nine-tenths divided. The remaining power cannot hold him for long!"

"His current location is the location of the sea eye..."

"To protect itself, this old monster has become one with the sea eye, so it must not be killed unless absolutely necessary!"

As he spoke, the Primordial Spirit transformed into a streak of light once again and rushed towards the Red Serpent.

After only a few brief exchanges, the Red Serpent that had just escaped its confinement turned to jade again and plummeted heavily towards White Jade Island.

"That madman..."

As the storm and thunderclouds regrouped, White Jade Island sank back into the South Sea.

Li Boyang, thousands of miles away, slowly closed his Heavenly Eye, his expression showing a hint of annoyance.

Even though Wu Yi is dead, he still left behind such a huge mess.

In particular, Buyan Huyu, who is known as the "God of the South Sea," actually chose to merge with the sea eye, just like the Rain Master.

This means that even if Li Boyang knew the location of the sea eye, it would be meaningless now.

After all, no one knows what kind of earth-shattering changes would occur in the world if the Ocean Eye were completely destroyed.

At the very least, through divination using the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron.

Li Boyang knew that doing so would only cause a catastrophe even more dangerous than "Wu Yi Shoots at Heaven".

Did Wu Yi also realize this, which is why he dared not kill Buyan Huyu, but instead chose to trap and kill him with the "Incantation of Jade Transformation and Sleeplessness"?

"It makes sense in theory, but I still feel like something's not quite right."

His gaze unconsciously swept towards the jade-turned Guitong and the Wumian not far away, and Li Boyang murmured to himself.

Previously, it was through the connection between the Night-Wandering God that this was achieved.

Only then was Li Boyang able to successfully find out the location of the South Sea God.

Now he needs more specific coordinates, which naturally requires more advanced methods.

Call!

In the blink of an eye, Li Boyang appeared in mid-air.

Looking at the jade statue of the Night-Wandering God so close at hand, [Insight into the Subtle Minds of Others and Unobstructed Divine Ability] was activated immediately.

But this time, Li Boyang does not intend to use [Mind-Reading Divine Ability] for communication.

The most proper way to use [Mind-Reading Divine Ability] is to forcibly pry open the minds of the two Night-Wandering God and continuously search for and recall their past memories.

Thus, even though the Guitong and the Wumian had been completely transformed into jade, they still felt fear.

Especially when those secrets hidden deep in one's heart are forcibly revealed.

For the first time, they experienced the fear of those Yezhong killed and had their souls searched by Ye Zhong.

The feeling of watching your own memories being trampled on is truly unimaginable unless you've experienced it firsthand.
