I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 480 The Unknown Prover

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 eldest daughter 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, Xi Luo'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 Xi Luo has only recently mastered, allowing her to travel thousands of miles in an instant using her own shrine or temple.

Compared to any kind of magic tricks or cloud-riding techniques.

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

Unfortunately, Xi Luo's faith only spreads within the territory of the Hundred Mountains, so her ability is basically limited to this area.

"Do I need to tell you what kind of personality that eldest girl has?"

"She came to me just to ask for security, not to discuss with me whether she should go or not."

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 if you tell her not to go, she would dare to go to such a dangerous place."

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

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

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

Li Boyang was genuinely curious about what had happened that made Xi Luo, who was always greedy, 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 was once a year, but now it happens almost every month around the full moon, and there is an unusual accumulation of vital energy."

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

"That kind of vital energy seems to be generated with the changes of the moon phases, and it has a very 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 seen such a 'kind' person..."

"It is as if all living beings are its relatives, and anyone can use it to transform into a primordial deity."

"If this kind of primordial energy didn't only gather during the full moon, I would suspect that the Hundred Mountains might already be filled with innate deities."

Silently listening to Xi Luo'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 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?"

Xi Luo 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.

Xi Luo 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 energies, this kind of energies that appears with the phases of the moon is indeed very 'amiable'."

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

“Snakes, insects, rodents, ants, grasses, and plants also absorb this special vital energy.”

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

"Although that guy did not completely transform into a primordial deity, he still possessed a physique comparable to a tiger or leopard."

"But it was completely unaware of its own changes and still retained its habits from when it was a beetle, which almost destroyed a forest."

They possess power without realizing it, transforming into innate divinity while still retaining their 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.

Xi Luo simply couldn't imagine what kind of hellish scene the entire Hundred Lands Mountains would become when hundreds or thousands of insects completed such a transformation.

"Speaking of which, you do seem to be quite busy lately."

Li Boyang hadn't realized it before, but after hearing Xi Luo's rambling, he suddenly came to his senses. "I remember you've always hated trouble, haven't you?"

"Why are you suddenly so concerned about these lunar phases?"

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

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

"Whether it's the ghosts and gods of Yunmengze or the gods of the Hundred Mountains."

“I have been using their power to cast spells, and now that they are asking me for help, how can I not go?”

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

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

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

However, the fact that Xi Luo has 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 Xi Luo keep making a fuss.

Conversely, if Xi Luo 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 Xi Luo's turn to change the subject and inquire about Li Boyang's gains.

"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 transformation of the Dao by refining the spirit and returning to emptiness will add a layer of 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 change in lunar phases fits the theory I proposed?"

"Changing the heavens and the moon, giving birth to new vitality, and exerting its own influence on the world..."

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

"You mean, another Dao Transformation Realm cultivator will be born so soon after you?"

"And this newly born Dao Transformation Realm cultivator is related to the moon above us?"

He first nodded affirmatively, then shook his head slightly.

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

"You're only half right."

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

"It's because they constantly rewind 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 to see the changes in the results."

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

Seeing Xi Luo 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 the Tao."

"Only under such circumstances would powerful beings from other eras refrain from interfering with His path to enlightenment, and even actively help Him to attain enlightenment..."

“For example, the Lord of the Underworld tacitly accepted this change in the phases of the moon and did not interfere with his path to enlightenment.”

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

But the current enlightened one clearly does not have that kind of strength.

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

"But the problem now is that 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 prove the Way and approach the eternal Great Way."

"Then what about Him? Why did He choose to abandon His own path?"
