Yellow Court Inner Landscape, Sun-Swallowing Divine Lord
No matter how much the outside world stirs up trouble, no matter how dire the situation becomes.
Li Boyang, the instigator, had already separated a wisp of his avatar and arrived at the most mysterious blessed land in the center of the earth—the Yellow Court Inner Landscape. This is the place where the Earth Dragon converge, and it is also the residence of the future Great Luo Golden Immortal.
In this era, that Great Luo Golden Immortal has not yet attained enlightenment, nor has he been proclaimed "Emperor Houtu, the Houtu, Sovereign Earth Deity upholds the laws of Heaven and embodies great virtue." Therefore, within this Yellow Court Inner Landscape, only nine dragon veins, seemingly alive, converge and intertwine, carrying the infinite possibilities and vitality of the earth. Every moment, countless dragon veins are born here, and even more choose to rest here.
Since Li Boyang elevated this world to a higher dimension, the death of the dragon vein is no longer the end, but a symbol of the world's profound essence.
The more dragon veins that slumber here, the stronger the dragon veins that will be born in the future, the wider the boundaries of the world, and the more beings will be born on this land.
This is a perfect positive cycle, and also the opportunity for Houtu's birth.
Unfortunately, Houtu is still in the Netherworld; she hasn't decided to shoulder the weight of the entire world yet.
Stroll leisurely through this Yellow Court Inner Landscape.
Li Boyang was not stepping on a rocky mountain path, but rather on a series of invisible dragon veins that were gathering and dispersing.
With each step he took forward, a dragon vein naturally formed, carrying him to the very center of this Yellow Court.
Although he couldn't hear footsteps, Li Boyang could sense a steady rhythm in this space, as if it were breathing slowly and deeply. This was the true meaning of "courtyard"—restrained, peaceful, and capable of bearing all things.
Then, Li Boyang saw the Nine Splendors Palace, and saw the true center of this Yellow Court.
Though called a palace, it is more like a dreamlike land nurtured by the convergence of countless dragon veins, a reflection and concrete manifestation of the concept of "earth." A dark yellow aura permeates the air like mist, ethereal yet ever-present.
With just a simple breath, Li Boyang could feel the refreshing sensation of the earth's essence permeating his lungs.
These materialized Yuan Qi are different from ordinary Yuan Qi.
Not only are they visible and tangible, but they are also extremely easy to absorb and utilize.
No need for deep meditation or arduous practice...
This Earth Yuan Qi is naturally close to all living things; it is truly the "Mother of the Earth."
"It's been so long! You finally remembered me!"
As Li Boyang stepped into the Nine Splendors Palace, a resentful voice suddenly reached his ears.
Following the sound, they saw the Heaven-Eroding Lord, a dog-headed, human-bodied being, wearing a long yellow robe, with a slowly rotating Taiji Diagram behind his head. Compared to the halo behind the Pool God's head, the Heaven-Eroding Lord with the Taiji Diagram on his head looked particularly out of place.
However, after sensing the current aura of the Heaven-Eroding Lord, no one dared to mock his incongruous appearance.
After all, his strength speaks for itself Heaven-Eroding Lord is now a true Taiyi True Immortal, an existence that is almost invincible in this world.
"Isn't this because I didn't want to disturb your seclusion?"
Seemingly recalling his first encounter with Heaven-Eroding Lord, Li Boyang scrutinized the other party with great interest.
"Why do I feel like every time I see you, it's either because I'm locked up or trapped?"
"But after each time they're locked up or confined, they always seem to undergo a complete transformation?"
Hearing Li Boyang's words, Heaven-Eroding Lord's resentment deepened.
"So, you already knew, didn't you?"
"They know I'm trapped here, but they just haven't come to rescue me?"
"I knew it. With your abilities, even if your opponent were the future Houtu, there wouldn't be any way to stop you."
Faced with Heaven-Eroding Lord's complaints, Li Boyang's smile widened.
"It seems you're unaware of what's happening in the outside world."
Although it was a question, Li Boyang spoke it with an air of certainty.
Instead, it was the Heaven-Eroding Lord who suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, and then he realized that the Li Boyang standing before him was not his true self. "What happened outside?"
After a brief silence, Heaven-Eroding Lord, now serious again, asked in a low voice.
Since being trapped in this Yellow Court Inner Landscape, Heaven-Eroding Lord has indeed been out of contact with the outside world for a very long time.
The last time he came into contact with the outside world was ten years ago when Supreme Lord Lao created the celestial canopy to project the great battle outside onto the Nine Splendors Palace. It was at that time that Heaven-Eroding Lord suddenly realized the truth.
It wasn't that Li Boyang lacked the ability to come to the Nine Splendors Palace; he simply didn't want to.
With this premise in mind, when Heaven-Eroding Lord looked at Li Boyang again, his gaze immediately changed.
Given Li Boyang's habit of only showing up when he needs something, Heaven-Eroding Lord felt that he was about to get into some big trouble again.
"I am about to Dao Merging."
As expected, Li Boyang's words made Heaven-Eroding Lord's eyes widen.
Now that Heaven-Eroding Lord is Taiyi True Immortal, he naturally understands just how valuable the "Dao Merging" mentioned by the other party truly is.
"Just tell me what you want to do, don't keep me in suspense."
For once, Li Boyang showed a hint of hesitation and remained silent for a long time.
Because this Heaven-Eroding Lord is different from everyone else before him.
He could even be considered Li Boyang's "mentor" on his formal journey of cultivation.
Without the help of the Heaven-Eroding Lord, Li Boyang probably wouldn't have been able to grasp the essence of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi so quickly.
More importantly, Heaven-Eroding Lord was not only Li Boyang's guide, but also a fellow seeker of the Dao who initially pursued it alongside him. Even today, even though they have strayed from the right path...
Ke Heaven-Eroding Lord's pursuit of the Dao still surpasses that of many others, a quality that Xiluo cannot match.
It can only be said that the cat and the dog have vastly different talents, and even more different fortuitous opportunity and destinies.
"I have two purposes for this trip. The first is to sever the karmic ties between us."
A moment later, Li Boyang's words, as expected, left Heaven-Eroding Lord stunned once again.
However, unlike before, Li Boyang unusually took the initiative to explain why he wanted to sever this karmic ties. "We sought the Dao together, and even laid the foundation for changing this world together."
"If the karmic ties between us cannot be severed, even if I reach the stage of ' Dao Merging,' this world will forcibly pull me back." "Someone must bear the karmic burden of 'changing the world' for me before I can achieve true Fasting of the Mind and Sitting in Forgetfulness."
Although I had already made ample mental preparations.
But Li Boyang's first words still caused Heaven-Eroding Lord to fall silent once again.
"And what about the second objective? It can't be any less important than this, can it?"
The Taiji Diagram behind his head slowly rotated, and at that moment, Heaven-Eroding Lord's voice also became deep.
From yin to yang, from stillness to movement, from black to white...
At this moment, the one who dominated this body was no longer the Big Black Dog from the Ghost God Cave, but the true god-king capable of devouring the heavens and the sun.
