The Unknown Dao Attainer

As the moonlit night deepened, the cicadas' chirping grew faint.

"You knew perfectly well that the canyon was unsafe, yet you still dared to send your Big Girl to such a dangerous place?"

Not long after Li Boyang coaxed Li Jingshu away.

A familiar voice suddenly came from the goddess statue behind him.

Immediately afterwards, Xiluo's true form slowly emerged from the statue of the goddess, as if she had been listening to their conversation all along.

This is an ability that Xiluo has only recently mastered; it allows her to travel thousands of miles in an instant using her own shrine or temple.

Compared to any kind of magic tricks or Riding Clouds and Driving Mist.

This ability, derived from the gods, is not only convenient, but also consumes relatively little energy.

Unfortunately, Xiluo's faith only spreads within the territory of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, so her ability is basically limited to this Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Do I need to tell you what kind of personality that Big Girl has?

"She came to me simply seeking reassurance, not to discuss whether or not she should go."

Without even raising his head, Li Boyang continued recording the changes in the moon's phases while earnestly calculating.

"In the end, it's because you spoil her too much!"

"I don't believe that just because you say she can't go, she'll dare to go to such a dangerous place."

Rolling her eyes in annoyance, Xiluo leaped up and landed on Li Boyang's lap.

"You ran off halfway through your meal. My mom was wondering if the meat she grilled wasn't good."

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Xiluo, Li Boyang changed the subject.

Li Boyang was genuinely curious about what had happened that made Xiluo, who always had a sweet tooth, run away halfway through her meal.

"It's all because of the changing phases of the moon!"

"Since you reshaped the order of heaven and earth, the changes in the phases of the moon have become increasingly apparent."

"At first, it happened once a year, but now it happens almost every month around the full moon, and there's an unusual accumulation of Yuan Qi."

As she spoke, Xiluo made no attempt to hide the complaints and frustration on her face.

"That Yuan Qi seems to arise with the changing phases of the moon, and it has an extremely strong affinity for life."

"Whenever the full moon arrives, the creatures in the mountains become unusually restless."

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever met someone so kind and Yuan Qi..."

"Just as all living beings are its subjects, anyone can use it to transform into Innate Divine Being."

"If it weren't for the fact that this Yuan Qi only gathers during the full moon, I would suspect that the Hundred Lands Mountain Range are now filled with Innate Divine Being."

Silently listening to Xiluo's complaints, Li Boyang simply smiled and then asked in return.

Isn't this a good thing?

"From tigers and leopards to ants, all living things should have an equal opportunity."

"Although this opportunity seems somewhat slim..."

"But at least compared to you and me, who are born sacred, they have a chance to catch up, don't they?"

Xiluo knew that Li Boyang wanted to create a glorious era and a future where everyone could be like a dragon.

But compared to Li Boyang, an idealist.

Xiluo understood even more clearly that this sudden change was by no means a good thing for all living beings.

"Yes, yes, compared to other picky Yuan Qi, this kind of Yuan Qi that appears with the phases of the moon is indeed very gentle."

"But the problem is that not all creatures that absorb Yuan Qi and transform are intelligent beings."

"Snakes, insects, rodents, ants, and plants all absorb this special Yuan Qi."

"I just went out briefly to deal with a beetle that was molting."

"Although that guy hasn't completely transformed into Innate Divine Being, he has already acquired a physique comparable to a tiger or leopard."

"But it was completely unaware of its own changes, retaining its habits from its beetle days, which nearly destroyed a whole forest."

Possessing power without realizing it, transforming into Innate Divine Being yet still retaining primitive habits.

This behavior, which is destined to disrupt the ecological balance, is the biggest reason why Xiluo believes that this change does more harm than good.

Xiluo simply couldn't imagine what kind of Hell scene the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range would become when hundreds or thousands of insects completed such a metamorphosis.

"Speaking of which, you seem to have been quite busy lately."

Li Boyang hadn't realized it before, but now, hearing Xiluo's rambling, he suddenly came to his senses.

"I remember you always hated trouble, didn't you?"

Why are you suddenly so concerned about these lunar phases?

Upon hearing this, Xiluo immediately rolled her eyes guiltily before muttering in a weak voice.

"It's all because I owe too many favors..."

"Whether it's the Ghost God and gods of Yunmeng Marsh, or the gods of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

"I've been using their power to Law Technique all along, and now that they've asked me for help, how can I not go?"

Li Boyang narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xiluo without making a sound.

He certainly knew that Xiluo was using the power of the gods to cast Law Technique.

After all, she has never liked practicing various tedious and complicated Law Technique.

However, the fact that Xiluo accumulated so many favors in just a few years is also full of shady dealings.

However, the way the two got along was that Li Boyang never spoke his mind, letting Xiluo keep making a fuss.

Conversely, if Xiluo doesn't say anything, Li Boyang will never ask her directly.

This time will be no exception.

"Speaking of which, you've been observing the moon's phases for so long now, haven't you figured out the reason for these changes yet?"

This time, it was Xiluo's turn to change the subject and inquire about Li Boyang's findings.

"These changes in the lunar phases are naturally related to the moon."

Looking up at the full moon in the sky again, Li Boyang's lips curled into a slight smile.

Do you remember what I said before?

"Those who achieve the Dao Assimilator of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness will add a profound depth to this world through the Dao they pursue and the Dao they evolve."

"The more changes this world undergoes, the stronger it becomes."

"Don't you think this special lunar phase change fits perfectly with my theory?"

"Changing the heavens and the earth, giving birth to new Yuan Qi, and exerting its own influence on the world..."

Upon hearing Li Boyang's words, Xiluo was immediately taken aback.

"You mean, another Dao Assimilator is about to be born so soon after you?"

"And this newly born Dao Assimilator is related to the moon above us?"

He first nodded affirmatively, then shook his head slightly.

Under Xiluo's rather annoyed gaze, Li Boyang went on to explain further.

You're only half right.

"The birth of Dao Assimilator increases the world's foundation, making it stronger step by step."

"It's because they constantly rewind the Long River of Time, using repeated planning and battles to introduce new concepts into the past and spread them into the future, thereby strengthening the foundation of the entire world."

"But that's a gradual process; it takes thousands of years for the changes to become apparent."

"Changes like this, which can drastically alter the world in just a few years, can only happen under one condition..."

Seeing Xiluo gradually fall into deep thought, Li Boyang's smile became even more pronounced.

"That is, like me, He relinquished His ownership of the Tao, allowing all things to attain it."

"Only under such circumstances would powerful beings from other eras refrain from interfering with His Dao Proving, and might even actively help Him Dao Proving..."

"For example, the Netherworld Lord tacitly accepted these changes in the lunar phases and did not interfere with his path to enlightenment."

When Li Boyang attained Dao Proving, he suppressed those powerful individuals who intended to resist with absolute strength.

But the current Dao Proving One clearly does not possess that kind of power.

Therefore, He could only use this method to gain the recognition of powerful figures from other eras.

"But the problem is, I gave up in the first place because I didn't care."

"I am a seeker of the Way, and my goal is to continuously Dao Proving and draw closer to the eternal Great Way."

"And what about Him? Why did He choose to abandon His own Dao Path?"
