I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 165 The Feud Between Cats and Dogs (13)

Dark clouds covered the sky; a downpour was imminent.

At the top of Ghost God Cliff on Feilai Peak, the Prison Soul Cauldron is still burning fiercely.

The commotion from the outside world had no effect whatsoever on the Prison Soul Cauldron, much less on the black dragon inside, which was still emitting a soothing groan.

"That kid is creating monsters again..."

Without a sound, the big black dog's voice suddenly came from behind Xi Luo.

Just like the two previous appearances.

The big black dog still manifested in a spiritual form, as if its spirit had left its body.

However, unlike before, the big black dog is no longer in a purely spiritual form this time, but has a certain degree of illusory physical form.

"Yin Shen?"

Her pupils contracted sharply, and Xi Luo immediately recognized the true nature of the big black dog's current state.

Li Boyang divided the astral projection of the primordial spirit into three stages.

The first stage is pure spirituality, a state similar to a ghost, unable to touch the material world.

The second stage, which he called "Yin Shen," was a form that he manifested by combining the principles of the birth of evil spirits with the primordial spirit attaching itself to a special substance or primordial energy.

Only by reaching the third stage, where the primordial spirit and the conscious spirit are fully unified and yin and yang are balanced, can one advance to become a natural incarnation similar to a celestial being.

Because the primordial spirit at this stage is no longer afraid of sunlight and can even transform into natural disasters, Li Boyang specifically calls it the "Yang Spirit".

"Haha, you have quite a good eye!"

"It seems that kid really taught you everything he knew, but unfortunately he misjudged you."

His words were tinged with undisguised jealousy.

When the big black dog said this, it deliberately made its body transparent.

Thus, Xi Luo was also able to clearly see the flowing and changing meridian structure inside the big black dog's body.

Although compared to the spiritual body that Li Boyang created by imitating the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams and the acupoints of the Zhou Tian, ​​the meridian structure of the big black dog appeared extremely rudimentary.

But there is no doubt that the big black dog has indeed reached the realm of "Yin Shen" (a powerful spirit in Yin).

Using one's own shadow as a vessel, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth that was forcibly expelled from the body as its veins...

The big black dog, modeled after the body structure of a mountain dog, constructed a unique Yin spirit that belonged to him.

Once the Yin spirit takes shape, even if the black dog's physical body is still trapped in the Ghost God Cliff Cave, it cannot stop him from traveling thousands of miles in an instant and traversing all the mountains in his primordial spirit form.

"I'm starting to regret letting that doll come into contact with you..."

A faint flame ignited around her, and Xi Luo bared her teeth, threatening the big black dog.

"Don't think you can escape Ghost God Cliff like this! Your original body is still here!"

“As long as you haven’t cultivated into a ‘Yang God,’ as long as I kill your physical body, your Yin God will dissipate with the sunrise the next day.”

When the spirit leaves the body, it can exist independently of the physical body, and can even undergo countless transformations, becoming one with the heavens, in harmony with the Dao, and with endless lifespan.

This is a realm that Li Boyang himself is still exploring; he calls it "Refining the Spirit to Return to Emptiness".

Although Xi Luo didn't know what "refining the spirit to return to emptiness" meant, all she needed to know was how to deal with the big black dog.

"You're right, that body is still my weakness!"

Faced with Xi Luo's intimidation, the big black dog also bared its teeth and growled in a low voice.

"No matter what I become, no matter what power I possess, that body is the 'shackles' that Wu Yao gave me."

"Even if a thousand years have passed, even if I have given up the power of the gods, this 'shackle' will forever remind me of what I have been through."

Taking a deep breath, the big black dog forcibly suppressed its anger and continued, "Fine, I didn't come here to argue with you."

"I suppose you noticed that unusual celestial phenomenon too. Did the doll tell you what was going on?"

After the big black dog reminded him like that.

Xi Luo turned her head in a daze and looked into the distance, where she saw the dark clouds that were constantly encroaching on the Bai Di Mountains.

"Don't tell me you didn't even notice this unusual celestial phenomenon!?"

Without Xi Luo needing to say a word, the big black dog could see the clues on the other person's face, which made him so angry that he immediately started cursing.

"You ignorant, careless, stupid cat!"

"How could Wu Yao have ended up falling for such a heartless scoundrel like you?"

Just as Xi Luo was about to explode from being scolded, the big black dog suddenly sighed listlessly.

"Since the child didn't tell you, I won't dwell on this issue with you any longer."

"I only have one last question now: do you know why my memory is incomplete?"

Upon hearing the big black dog's words, Xi Luo's anger instantly turned into vigilance.

Even its back arched unconsciously, adopting a typical hunting posture of a feline.

"So you did know, did you? Wu Yao did this too?"

A hint of sadness unconsciously appeared on his face.

The big black dog was both surprised and understandably saddened.

From any perspective, the big black dog didn't consider himself Wu Yao's true enemy, so he simply couldn't understand why she would be so ruthless towards him.
"Hmph! Don't even think about getting any information out of me."

Unmoved by the big black dog's sorrowful expression, Xi Luo continued to watch him warily.

Even after a thousand years, Xi Luo dared not forget the terrifying true nature of this "Erosion Lord".

No matter how "weak" the other party may appear now, his essence is still that tyrannical ruler who devours the heavens and the sun.

"Silly cat, I already know that my memory is incomplete, and it's only a matter of time before I can find that memory again."

"This is not a big problem for me, who has already cultivated to the primordial spirit level."

The big black dog was telling the truth. From the moment his primordial spirit manifested, he was already aware of all his flaws and imperfections.

Memory is only a part of it, and it can't even be considered the most important one.

Given time, with the help of the primordial spirit, the big black dog will gradually repair all its flaws until it becomes the most perfect creature.

This path may not be Li Boyang's path, but it is certainly the most suitable direction for the big black dog.

"Don't try to recapture that memory, because you'll regret it..."

When I heard the big black dog say that.

Xi Luo finally stopped being wary and spoke in a slightly deep tone.

In that instant, the big black dog felt as if he were seeing that witch from a thousand years ago again—her hypocritical and naive appearance was exactly the same.

"Don't talk like that guy! You don't have the right to!"

With its eyes wide with rage, the big black dog uttered a vicious threat before disappearing from Xi Luo's sight.

On the other hand, Xi Luo was just staring calmly at the spot where the big black dog had disappeared, her expression completely unlike the Xi Luo of the past.

"I'm not lying to you, you'll regret this."
