A death tribulation approached (33)

"It is indeed strange, but not difficult to handle."

Gently stroking his chin, Li Boyang circled Xiluo a few times.

"In the end, it's just a feather robe..."

"Simply drawing Yin-Yang Talisman Incantation on it will minimize its impact on the user."

She rolled her eyes decisively, not forgetting Li Boyang's Xiluo in having her wear this feather robe.

"Then how can we unlock the power of this feather robe?"

"So, you really intend to use this feather robe as a simple transformation tool?"

Not only would Li Boyang not do that, but even Xiluo would not allow such a shameful "wasteful" act.

"Of course not!"

"It can grant ordinary creatures Divine Power, which is of great help to the simple Law Technique I'm currently researching."

Without hesitation, Li Boyang shook his head in denial, and naturally, he couldn't simply use the feather robe as a transformation tool.

Whether it's the Guhuo Bird or the Night-Wandering Woman, both are forms that Li Boyang can freely transform into, having mastered the [Thousand Transformations Divine Ability].

The real reason Li Boyang gave the feather robe to Xiluo was to truly discover the Innate Divine Ability of these two individuals.

Moreover, Li Boyang could tell that Xiluo seemed to really like the form of Night-Wandering Woman.

It was not due to the alluring power of the Night-Wandering Woman.

Instead, they genuinely liked this human form, which was different from Wenli, Chibao, and Ominous Deity.

After all, for Xiluo, the threshold for [Thousand Transformations Divine Ability] was simply too high.

As for the "Transformation Method" which originated from the "Thousand Transformations Divine Ability" technique?

Xiluo did attempt cultivation, but ultimately gave up halfway and her efforts ended without success.

So what do you plan to do?

Her tone revealed intense curiosity; Xiluo had always had great confidence in Li Boyang, and this time was no exception.

"It's simple, either we reforge this feather robe as a magical Law Treasure."

"Or we could forge a magical artifact specifically to assist in controlling this feathered Law Treasure."

The former would easily damage the feather robe's inherent attributes and abilities, so Li Boyang preferred the latter.

Li Boyang even had a rough plan in mind on how to control the feather robe.

In the various myths and legends of the past, how could those beings who could transform into celestial maidens by donning feathered robes be without flowing, ethereal ribbons?

The combination of feathered robes and ribbons is a standard feature in traditional China mythology.

The only thing Li Boyang needs to consider now is what materials and methods to use to make a suitable ribbon.

And how to make this combination achieve a result greater than the sum of its parts.

"What new ideas do you have this time?"

Having long been accustomed to Li Boyang's endless tricks, Xiluo was now more curious about what he wanted to do.

"Hehe, you'll see when the time comes."

Despite knowing that Xiluo was very curious, she still enjoyed teasing her.

Li Boyang's behavior, unsurprisingly, earned him another eye roll from Xiluo.

Li Boyang had no doubt that if the opponent were in its current form as a Wenli (a type of Wenli spirit), it would have already attacked with a claw.

"Speaking of which, where's Jinjiao?"

"It seems like it's been a while since I've seen him?"

Knowing that Li Boyang didn't want to talk about it and that she definitely wouldn't get any information out of him, Xiluo quickly changed the subject.

Unlike Yinjiao, who runs errands for Li Boyang everywhere.

Due to his steady and reliable nature, Jinjiao had always been in charge of the basic miscellaneous work at the mountain god temple.

From sweeping and cooking to serving tea and greeting guests...

Xiluo had already gotten used to Jinjiao's presence, and she felt rather uneasy not seeing him for several days in a row.

"Him? He went to see his mother."

Upon hearing this, Xiluo, who had been completely indifferent, immediately frowned.

"His mother? That Lady Bagui?"

Xiluo knew, of course, that Lady Bagui had returned to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Xiluo was also present when Li Boyang told Jinjiao this news.

However, almost a year has passed, and Xiluo still thought that Jinjiao wouldn't go looking for Lady Bagui.

"Are you really comfortable letting him go find Lady Bagui?"

"Lady Bagui is no pushover; a thousand years ago, he was known for his ruthlessness and viciousness, and he intimidated the mountains."

Xiluo's words were not an exaggeration at all.

The reason why the Witch of the Huai River chose to suppress Lady Bagui on Flying Peak was because of his cruel nature.

Human nature is fickle, and so is God.

Li Boyang shook his head slightly and smiled noncommittally.

"You can't judge Lady Bagui with outdated perspectives from a thousand years ago..."

Xiluo did not deny this point, citing the Ghost God of Yunmeng Marsh as a perfect example.

The problem is, Xiluo doesn't understand why Jinjiao suddenly changed his mind.

"Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Li Boyang simply smiled without saying a word, which greatly annoyed Xiluo.

"Didn't you come here to drive me out of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"

After receiving a definite answer from Jinjiao, Lady Bagui's expression became even more confused.

"Yes, it was Master who foresaw that you would face a life-threatening ordeal soon, and I have come to save you."

When Jinjiao said those words, Lady Bagui didn't know what words to use to describe my feelings.

Of course, Lady Bagui knew about Li Boyang's power.

The other party inherited the tradition of the Witch of the Huai River and even surpassed them in divination.

The reason she chose to escape from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range...

A significant part of the reason was their fear of Li Boyang's divination abilities.

Now I hear that I am facing a deadly ordeal.

Lady Bagui's first reaction was to think carefully about what other enemies might come looking for him.

Then Lady Bagui's expression changed drastically, and he pushed Jinjiao away almost without hesitation.

"You take good care of the village for me, and I'll handle the rest myself."

Before he finished speaking, Lady Bagui turned around and disappeared from Jinjiao's sight.

By the time Jinjiao realized what was happening, there was nothing left in front of him except for the few bags left by Lady Bagui.

"So it really is a threat from the outside world?"

As if he had expected it, Jinjiao simply murmured calmly.

Even before arriving in this village, Jinjiao had learned in detail about Lady Bagui's deeds over the past year.

Combined with Xiluo's few words, he already knew about Lady Bagui's strong-willed personality before meeting him.

Once he realized where the threat came from, Lady Bagui would face it alone, which was exactly what Jinjiao had expected.

So... where are you now?

With a quick calculation, a faint, Single Horn golden dragon with a single Jinjiao Horn.

That was the Primordial Spirit of Jinjiao, and the fundamental reason why he ultimately decided to meet with Lady Bagui.

In less than a year, Jinjiao had already mastered the [Premonition Divine Ability] and had received some of Li Boyang's True Disciple in divination.
