Chapter 497 The Jade Pool Heavenly Book, the Head of All Gods

A hundred mountains, in the eastern forest region.

This is the location of the Hyakuchi Mountains near the East China Sea.

The vegetation in this area is exceptionally lush, comparable to the southern forests.

Most importantly, this is not an area where mountain people are active on a daily basis, so it is mostly inhabited by barbarians and monsters who rule over their own territories, with few traces of civilization.

However, this situation no longer existed after Li Boyang reshaped the order of primordial energy using the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era.

Especially in recent years, as Xi Luo swept through hundreds of mountains.

The newly born gods had no choice but to submit to her and obey the rules and order she set.

In return, Xiluo will also solve some problems that the newly born gods cannot solve.

"This is the fourth one today."

Carrying a giant axe, Panhu, with his dog-headed, human-bodied form, strolled through the mountains with an unusually calm demeanor.

Following closely behind Panhu, Xiluo, who had transformed into a celestial maiden, was constantly flipping through the books in her hands.

It was a book that seemed to be able to unfold infinitely.

On every page of the book, you can see a lifelike image of a deity.

Moreover, the images of those deities are described in great detail, including their names and abilities.

"It seems the cleanup is almost complete."

“Now all the gods and spirits in this area with names have revealed their names.”

"And after my lesson, they no longer dared to cause trouble."

"Let's head to the East China Sea next!"

"With Kunwu's help there, things should be a bit easier."

Hearing Xi Luo say that, Pan Hu paused slightly.

“If it’s just about relying on the power of the gods, the number of gods in your ‘Jade Pool Heavenly Book’ is already more than enough.”

"The Heavenly Book of Yaochi" is what Panhu called that scroll of books.

It contains the names and abilities of all the gods who submitted to Xiluo.

Even a mortal can use the magic that gods are good at by relying on this "Jade Pool Heavenly Book".

Of course, Xi Luo's purpose in having the gods and spirits leave their names in the "Jade Pool Heavenly Book" was not for the purpose of unilateral enslavement.

On the contrary, the "Jade Pool Heavenly Book" has no coercive effect whatsoever.

If the user is not Xi Luo, the gods who have established a connection with the "Jade Pool Heavenly Book" can also refuse to lend their power.

In fact, this is also why Panhu doesn't understand why Xiluo is so persistent in searching for the gods.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. This is the lesson my child taught me."

"Why not take advantage of the fact that the order of heaven and earth has just been restored to normal, and before those newly born gods become powerful, to memorize their names and abilities?"

"Do we have to wait for them to cause trouble before we can find a solution step by step?"

That's the truth. Panhu was initially persuaded by Xiluo with this reason, which is why he agreed to help her sweep through the Hundred Mountains.

But as things have progressed to this point, Panhu has begun to have some doubts about Xiluo's true motives.

"The prophet knows nothing about what you're doing now!"

Although it was a question, Panhu spoke with unusual certainty.

"I can continue to help you, but you must tell me your true purpose."

After gazing at Panhu in silence for a long time, Xiluo finally revealed a purpose that greatly surprised him.

“I want to prove my faith, and I am preparing for it in advance.”

Xi Luo has already achieved "divine perfection," and the next step is to break through the divine gate, pass through the heavenly barrier, and become a Dao cultivator who refines the spirit and returns to emptiness. This is a process of going from existence to non-existence, of reducing to nothingness.

This step blocked many powerful gods, but it posed no obstacle for Xi Luo.

After all, whether it was her unique primordial spirit or Li Boyang's earnest teachings, refining the spirit and returning to emptiness was only a matter of time for her.

In this situation, Xi Luo surprisingly felt a surge of competitiveness.

"How do you plan to prove your path?"

Looking at Xi Luo's serious face, Pan Hu, who was also close to "perfecting the Dao of Essence", asked this question.

It was precisely because they were about to reach the pinnacle of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

Therefore, Panhu understood even more clearly how difficult it would be to break through the divine gate and pass through the heavenly barrier.

Not to mention, Panhu followed the most difficult path of the physical body.

To date, the Elixir of Immortality is the only known shortcut that can help those who have achieved "perfect cultivation" to break through the divine gate.

As for crossing the Heavenly Barrier and achieving the Refinement of Spirit and Return to Emptiness?
Of all the great gods who have been born throughout history, only Li Boyang has achieved this feat.

Hao Jun, who was blessed by heaven and earth, possessed extraordinary talent, and later researched the immortal grass, could at most be considered half a genius.

"I am very clear about my own personality and shortcomings."

"I have neither the wisdom of a child nor the favor of heaven and earth like the Lord of the Underworld."

"So if I don't find the path that suits me best, I may be stuck at the 'Transformation Realm' forever."

When she said this, Xiluo's voice paused slightly.

"But compared to them, I also have my own advantages."

"I have befriended many gods, and I have never minded using external forces to enhance myself..."

Panhu really wanted to refute Xiluo's words.

But upon closer reflection, aside from the unusual way the other party made friends, they did indeed befriend many deities.

The scroll of "The Heavenly Book of Yaochi" in her hand is an excellent example.

They borrowed the power of those gods, and at the same time helped them solve some problems that they could not solve on their own.

Only through this two-way connection could the gods willingly lend their power to Xiluo.

“The doll uses the concept of ‘time’ to prove the way, and uses the ‘Creation Jade Disc’ to carry and evolve the way of time.”

“Last night, the moon goddess proved her faith through the concept of ‘lunar phases’ and used ‘the moon’ to represent and derive fifteen lunar phases.”

"Before them, time and lunar phases were not particularly mysterious."

"They are the ones who endowed time and lunar phases with special power, and made this concept their symbol."

Panhu could see clearly that Xiluo's eyes were shining when she said those words.

That was another side of Xi Luo that Panhu had never seen before; she was the mountain spirit who was famous for her competitiveness a thousand years ago.

"So I intend to follow their example and give the concept of 'gods' power as well."

He opened the "Jade Pool Heavenly Book" in his hands once more.

Xi Luo looked at the gods above as if she were looking at the concept of "gods" itself.

"You want to become the head of all gods?"

He quickly understood Xi Luo's explanation in his own way.

Panhu had to admit that the other party's idea was indeed very bold and sounded very promising.

The only problem is that if Xi Luo wants to realize her idea, she has to obtain the names of gods and monsters one by one, which would take forever.
