A Soul Jade brimming with maternal love (13)

The Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror, on the Immortality Tree.

"That Soul Jade from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range..."

Watching Heaven-Eroding Lord leave, Xiluo opened her mouth as if to speak but hesitated.

"That's right, just what you think."

Before Xiluo could finish speaking, Li Boyang nodded in affirmation.

"Since the soul of the Guhuo Bird transforms into Soul Jade after death, then the Yin Fei, who died in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, would naturally also give birth to Soul Jade."

"Guess who hid that Soul Jade back then?"

Upon hearing this, Xiluo immediately understood.

"It's that Wu Yi again. Doesn't he hate his adoptive mother?"

Li Boyang was not surprised at all, because he knew that human nature was indeed that complex.

"The complex relationship of love and hate between a mother and child is difficult for outsiders to understand."

"The only thing that can be said for sure is that Wu Yi inherited much more than just a feathered robe from Yin Fei."

"As for that Soul Jade, I think he most likely entrusted it to the Flower Mantis for safekeeping."

Although he used a question format, Li Boyang's tone was unusually certain when he said it.

"So, why didn't you realize this back then?"

Looking at Xiluo's confused expression, Li Boyang retorted irritably.

"I am a prophet, that's true, but I am not an omniscient and omnipotent creator."

"At the time, I didn't even know there was such a thing as Soul Jade. Plus, Wu Yi deliberately revealed the existence of the Feather Robe. Who would have thought that Yin Fei had left something behind?"

Li Boyang was telling the truth; a prophet is just a prophet, not an omniscient one.

Given Wu Yi's intentional or unintentional misleading and concealment, it would be truly strange if someone could foresee the existence of the Soul Jade.

"So how did you determine the location of the Soul Jade?"

Xiluo knew Li Boyang's character well. Since he dared to tell Heaven-Eroding Lord the location of the Soul Jade, he must be 100% certain.

Considering that the Soul Jade inherits some of the characteristics of the Guhuo Bird, it can conceal itself and block divination.

So how did Li Boyang know the location of Yin Fei's Soul Jade?

"It's quite a coincidence..."

"After I returned from the Guixu, I wanted to retrieve that Soul Jade from the Flower Mantis."

"To my surprise, the Flower Mantis didn't have that Soul Jade Soul Jade at all... or rather, he lost it."

"I reckon even Wu Yi didn't expect that a god would discover the Soul Jade's abilities ahead of time and steal it from the Flower Mantis."

Xiluo knew all of this; she even knew what happened next.

Fulfilling the holder's wishes is not a unique ability of the Gouxing Soul Jade.

Each Soul Jade has a similar effect; the only difference lies in the strength of its efficacy.

Most importantly, not all Soul Jade will "maliciously fulfill the holder's wishes."

That's just a characteristic of Gouxing Soul Jade, not a common characteristic of all Soul Jade.

Depending on the different types of Guhuo Bird) in its previous life, each Soul Jade grants wishes in a different way.

"The god who stole the Soul Jade Soul Jade to use it to fulfill his wish..."

"But He didn't expect that Yin Fei's Soul Jade was full of maternal instincts, and that its method of fulfilling wishes was rather unconventional."

As he said this, a hint of mockery was clearly visible on Li Boyang's face.

"So, the half-human, half-god, Xiao Xi was born."

"She perfectly inherited the best qualities of both her parents, and even awakened the extraordinary Divine Ability of Knowledge of Past Lives."

Seeing that Xiluo's expression was also somewhat strained, Li Boyang sighed.

"Wu Yi's death left behind many troubles, but your sister is no less troublesome."

"I really don't know how overflowing her saintly heart was when she was alive, that even the Soul Jade she left behind after death was dedicated to helping others fulfill their wishes."

"The only saving grace is that after understanding the whole story, locating the snake god became much simpler."

"After all, while Soul Jade can conceal oneself and block divination..."

"But the actions of that foreign serpent god will surely leave traces."

"Furthermore, with the Flower Mantis tracking the Snake God's trail, he had no Soul Jade to help him conceal his whereabouts."

Upon hearing this, Xiluo finally understood how Li Boyang had found the location of the snake god.

Once we figure out the origin of that Soul Jade...

With Li Boyang's methods and abilities, finding that snake god would naturally be an easy task.

This is the biggest difference between a prophet and an omniscient person.

A prophet can only perform divination if something happens and there are corresponding clues or information.

"Although it sounds reasonable, I still have a feeling that you're hiding something."

Xiluo glanced at Li Boyang suspiciously, her mind already traumatized by the deception, and asked this question.

"With your current strength, knowing the location of that serpent god, wouldn't retrieving the Soul Jade from him be an easy task?"

"Why go through all that trouble and send Heaven-Eroding Lord to find them?"

Although Li Boyang never displayed his strength again after returning from Guixu.

But the scene that turned "heaven and earth into a furnace" remained in Xiluo's heart for a long time.

Just think about how many messes Wu Yi, who was also at the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm, left behind, and you can predict just how terrifying Li Boyang has reached the perfection of the Three Paths, truly is.

The reason I haven't shown my strength or made any achievements during these five years is simply because there's no need for it.

Unless Li Boyang encounters a powerful expert at the level of Great Heavenly Deity.

Otherwise, no one can make him take it seriously again, or use any real tactics or trump cards.

Not to mention, Xiluo also learned from Li Boyang about the greatest advantage after achieving a perfect breakthrough in the three paths.

That is, essence, energy, and spirit complement each other, constantly circulating and improving one's cultivation every moment, resembling a perpetual motion machine of cultivation.

He gets stronger with every breath and sip of water; this is no exaggeration when it comes to Li Boyang.

"Of course, it's because I don't have the energy or time."

"Since Heaven-Eroding Lord wants to collect all the Soul Jade, wouldn't it be perfect to have him make the trip?"

Upon hearing Li Boyang's words, Xiluo's expression instantly shifted from suspicion to certainty.

"I knew you were hiding something!"

"Tell me! What have you discovered this time? What are you planning to do?"

Faced with the confident Xiluo, Li Boyang didn't refute her this time; he had gotten somewhat used to Xiluo's prejudice against him.

Even if an illiterate person reads books and learns to read, their mind will still be unable to process information.

Arguing with such an idiot will only make Li Boyang feel like he's an idiot too.

"Didn't you ever wonder why that serpent god knew about the Soul Jade's abilities?"

"Without close contact, or even having used the Soul Jade, how could an ordinary person possibly know that the Soul Jade can grant wishes?"
