Feasting on the Dao Ancestor? The First Pangu Is Born!
"That's for sure, otherwise why would I come looking for you?"
Rolling his eyes in annoyance, Li Boyang was completely oblivious to the changes in Heaven-Eroding Lord.
After so many years of cultivation, Heaven-Eroding Lord had long since merged back into one, and this special dual-state had given him even more changes.
"I want to Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao, transcend and ascend to immortality, leaving this world behind. What I want to leave behind is not just karma."
Li Boyang paused slightly at this point.
"Throughout my journey, I Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit Transformation, Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness. Cause and effect can be erased, the Dao Path can be returned to heaven and earth, and Law Treasure can be given away to others..."
"But this very Primordial Spirit and body, I absolutely dare not entrust to any outsider."
What Li Boyang said was true; he could return the Dao Path to Heaven and Earth, thus enriching the Three Realms.
You can also entrust the Law Treasure to someone else, which can be used to transfer karma and achieve two benefits at once.
But this very Primordial Spirit and physical body are the most coveted treasures.
Once one Dao Merging and transcendence, regardless of the karma entangled in one's Primordial Spirit and physical body, the sheer number of beings would be enough to make them drool. At that time, even Great Unity and the Netherworld Lord would likely find it difficult to remain still.
"Tsk tsk tsk, aren't you overestimating me a bit?"
Even the notoriously lawless Heaven-Eroding Lord couldn't help but marvel at Li Boyang's words.
He simply couldn't believe it; what made the other party think they had such an ability?
It's fine to sever the karmic ties; Heaven-Eroding Lord will simply pretend he never knew Li Boyang.
Can Li Boyang's Primordial Spirit and physical body be preserved?
Heaven-Eroding Lord thought the other party must be crazy to throw this hot potato at him.
"It's not that I think highly of you, it's that I think highly of the Houtu, Sovereign Earth Deity behind you."
With a slight shrug, Li Boyang displayed a tacit understanding between old friends—a kind of unspoken, unreasonable camaraderie—in front of Heaven-Eroding Lord.
At the very least, looking at Li Boyang's reckless behavior, Heaven-Eroding Lord felt an uncontrollable surge of anger welling up in his heart.
Hey! Saying that will only make me angrier!
After several rounds of bickering, just like before, Heaven-Eroding Lord ultimately lost as always.
However, unlike before, Heaven-Eroding Lord's face did not show any discouragement or frustration. Instead, it showed a very subtle sadness. "Although I am not Great Luo, I can still see that your journey is doomed to failure."
"While I am protected by the Lady Houtu, and most Dao Proving One wouldn't dare to cause me trouble, there's never a shortage of reckless fools in this world."
"You think you can use me to have the Lady Houtu preserve your physical body and Primordial Spirit? That's just wishful thinking."
"Furthermore, even if we take a step back and assume the worst, I don't believe that the Lady Houtu would grant your request."
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang glanced at Heaven-Eroding Lord with feigned surprise.
"So you were aware of your situation, huh?"
"I thought you really believed you were being imprisoned here?"
Now it was Heaven-Eroding Lord's turn to glance at Li Boyang disdainfully, and then retort sarcastically.
"The path I've chosen is too extraordinary; I exist independently, far removed from the world, and even possess the potential to evolve a world on my own, like Great Unity." "I have indeed thought more than once that perhaps the Lady Houtu imprisoned me here for this very reason."
"It wasn't until I heard you say those words that I suddenly realized that the Lady Houtu was protecting me."
Li Boyang immediately understood the implication in Heaven-Eroding Lord's words, and he was genuinely surprised.
"You agreed?"
A smile suddenly appeared on his face, Heaven-Eroding Lord answered in an unchanged tone.
"Why not?"
"The Lady Houtu won't grant your request, but I will!"
"Isn't this what you came for in the first place?"
"Although I think you overestimate me, I do seem to have the ability to preserve your Primordial Spirit and body."
After saying this, Heaven-Eroding Lord suddenly turned around and bowed towards the main hall of the Nine Splendors Palace.
"Lady Houtu, perhaps you already knew this day would come, that this boy would entrust his Primordial Spirit and physical body to me for safekeeping."
"You didn't want me involved, so you chose to leave me here in the Yellow Court Inner Landscape."
"But I don't need that kind of protection. I have my own path to follow..."
Even if it's a wrong path, I will definitely see it through to the end.
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang finally realized that Heaven-Eroding Lord had truly seen through the purpose of his trip.
Yes, Lady Houtu is indeed Great Luo Golden Immortal born in the future, but who can guarantee that Chi won't covet the Dao Ancestor's Primordial Spirit and physical body? Even Great Unity and the Netherworld Lord couldn't do that.
Li Boyang would not entrust it to a being that has not yet been born.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Li Boyang's purpose was to target Heaven-Eroding Lord.
The protection of the Lady Houtu was at best a form of insurance, or even just a friendly banter between two friends; Li Boyang never really relied on it.
"This is a danger for me, but it's also an opportunity, isn't it?"
When Heaven-Eroding Lord turned to look at Li Boyang again, his face was filled with eager anticipation.
Li Boyang's Primordial Spirit and physical body truly stand at the pinnacle of the Three Realms.
If the Heaven-Eroding Lord could obtain them, he might actually be able to walk the path of "when heaven and earth are cut off, I stand alone" in the future.
"However, what I'm more curious about now is, how much of your original self are you still intact?"
Suddenly changing the subject, Heaven-Eroding Lord asked with a complicated expression.
"You even noticed that?"
Upon hearing Li Boyang's question, Heaven-Eroding Lord's expression became even more complicated.
"Having experienced something similar before, one can more or less recognize such obvious situations."
"I was watching from the sidelines when Wu Yao was being devoured, but I didn't understand her choice at the time, and I couldn't accept it." At this point, Heaven-Eroding Lord asked again.
"Judging from the fact that you can only transform to this extent, you seem to be similar to Wu Yao back then?"
Without denying the Heaven-Eroding Lord's statement, Li Boyang simply smiled calmly.
"My heart has transformed into the ' Off-Ground Flame Light Flag,' gathering the power of fire from heaven and earth, and now it resides in the hands of Lord Lingguang."
"My liver has transformed into the ' Azure Lotus Treasure-Colored Flag,' gathering the power of the wood element of heaven and earth, and it is now in the hands of Lord Meng Zhang."
"My kidney has transformed into the ' Mysterious Primordial Essence Water-Controlling Flag,' gathering the power of water from heaven and earth, and it is now in Shang Yang's hands."
"I intend to leave my lungs to Xiluo, so that her ' Plain-Colored Cloud Realm Flag ' can truly possess the power to gather immortals."
"As for the remaining essence, flesh, and abilities, I have left them all to the Ghost God and creatures of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range..."
"What I can entrust to you now, besides this Primordial Spirit and empty shell, is only the tablet that governs the energy within your body."
