Chapter 557: Xi Luo Proves Her Dao (End of Volume)
It was evening that day.

When Li Boyang appeared at the door carrying a children's bicycle, it naturally drew cheers from Li Xi.

When the children from nearby neighborhoods saw this custom-made children's bicycle, they all looked on with envy.

Because this children's version of the bicycle has two training wheels, it is perfect for beginners.

Some children from wealthier families have even started begging their parents to get them a children's version of the bicycle.

This is where the differences between this era and modern society become apparent.

The village is inhabited by people with the same surname and related by blood, and Li Boyang is always approachable.

Soon, villagers came to Li Boyang's house, bringing various gifts while subtly inquiring where they could get their hands on these children's bicycles.

Li Boyang readily provided the pre-prepared design drawings.

Given the current level of action and industrial capability demonstrated by Lijiacun, we estimate that we will be able to see mass-produced children's bicycles tomorrow.

After all, the idea that "supernatural powers are the primary productive force" had already been spread by Li Boyang.

Even using purely manual methods, Lijia Village can produce quite a lot of these in one night.

"Since you already knew, why did you wait until now to give it to me?"

Seeing Li Xi excitedly riding his bike around in circles in the yard, Xi Luo knew perfectly well that Li Boyang had made preparations all along.

"I originally planned to surprise her with it as a birthday present."

"Your sudden return caught me completely off guard."

Rolling his eyes in annoyance, Li Boyang realized that ever since Xi Luo was able to deceive his divination, she had been doing things that were beyond his expectations.

If it weren't for Yunxiu's matter alerting him in advance, Li Boyang would never have known that Xiluo had returned.

"Hmph, so it seems you already knew about that butterfly person?"

After a moment's thought, Xi Luo guessed that the problem must lie with Yun Xiu.

To conceal her whereabouts, Xi Luo didn't even alert Lord Gao Yao on her way back, only showing herself to Yun Xiu and Jia Luo.

"That butterfly-like being was a 'dream' of Mara."

"When she awakens from her dream, she will completely transform into Mara."

“This is Zhuangzi’s method of ‘attaining enlightenment in a dream.’ I think you need to find a way to resolve this hidden danger in advance.”

Looking at Xi Luo, who rarely showed a worried expression, Li Boyang simply shook his head gently.

"He will not wake up; Yunxiu will always be Yunxiu."

Hearing Li Boyang's calm yet confident tone, Xi Luo immediately relaxed.

Xi Luo's experience over the years has taught her that when Li Boyang speaks of something in this tone, what he says will definitely become a reality.

"You know what you're doing, I'm not going to interfere anymore."

Xi Luo only sealed away part of Yun Xiu's memories, slowing down the rate at which she was assimilated by Bo Xun.

Now that she knows Li Boyang had a contingency plan, Xi Luo naturally won't meddle anymore; that's not her style.

"You're not going to take responsibility? That won't do."

To Xi Luo's surprise, Li Boyang smiled and shook his head at this moment.

"The reason I'm not in a hurry to solve Yunxiu's problems is that I plan to leave her with you."

Upon hearing this, Xi Luo looked up in astonishment.

"Leave it to me?"

Nodding affirmatively, Li Boyang continued.

"Don't you also want to attain enlightenment?"

"Proving the Dao is not something that can be accomplished in one go."

"Whether it's the preparations beforehand or the troubles encountered during the process of proving the truth, there are many things you can't imagine."

"Don't you think the 'method of attaining enlightenment in dreams' is a good way to try it out?" When Li Boyang said this, Xi Luo immediately understood what he meant.

"You want me to learn the method of attaining enlightenment in dreams? Yunxiu was just someone I could use for practice?"

Rolling his eyes again, Li Boyang corrected him irritably.

"Don't put it so harshly. It's clearly a win-win situation, but you're making it sound like I have ulterior motives."

After a slight pause, Li Boyang continued.

“Yunxiu is a dream of Bo Xun, and also an anchor point he left in this era.”

"If you can use Yunxiu to modify his origin and successfully attain enlightenment, then your method of attaining enlightenment in a dream will naturally be partially completed."

Compared to Zhuangzi's approach of seeking enlightenment in a dream based on his own experience, Li Boyang's approach was clearly safer.

In any case, no matter how much Xi Luo struggles in her dream, the ultimate cost will be borne by Bo Xun.

"Why do I think your approach is even more outrageous than Zhuangzi's?"

The thought of all the things Zhuang Zhou had done sent chills down Xi Luo's spine.

She simply couldn't imagine whether she could accept reality as calmly as Zhuang Zhou if what happened to him happened to her.

"If I succeed by using 'Marsh's' identity card, wouldn't he have successfully escaped?"

It's certainly good if you succeed in rewriting the origins of something.

But if someone else does it, there's not much difference.

However, under normal circumstances, no one would go to the trouble of rewriting someone else's origin story.

Besides, who can guarantee that someone will definitely change for the better?
"You don't need to worry about that. Proving the Dao in a dream is just an experiment."

"As long as you don't act like Zhuangzi and use the method of turning falsehood into reality to pull the dream into reality, then it's just a fleeting dream."

"Moreover, Mara comes from a later time and space, so even if his origin is accidentally rewritten, it will not have much impact on this era."

The reason Zhuang Zhou caused so much trouble was simply because he was stupid.

It's one thing to massively bring dreams into reality.

He even tried to rewrite the "past" that had already entered the annals of history.

Because of the uncertainty of the future, anything is possible.

However, if we trace back to the past with Li Boyang as the starting point, those are all fixed events that have already been written into history.

Zhuang Zhou was able to return successfully in the end simply because the "past" he rewrote was not far removed from Li Boyang's point in time.

Furthermore, he did not forcibly resurrect his original self, but rather cleverly allowed another version of himself from his dream to replace him in the future, which enabled him to successfully return.

"You really don't think much of me?"

Xi Luo had not forgotten that when she left the Hundred Mountains, she wanted to prove herself through her own strength.

Despite the events following the enlightenment of Changxi and Zhuangzi.

Xi Luo had a general understanding of the difficulty of attaining enlightenment, but a trace of resentment still lingered in her heart.

"If I were to ask you to practice the method of attaining enlightenment in dreams, it would be because I don't have high hopes for you..."

"Then calculate for yourself how much of your supernatural powers and magic you learned from me?"

"And what about those pills and magical treasures? Weren't you planning to inherit all my treasures after I die?"

With just one sentence, Xi Luo was rendered speechless. As always, Li Boyang's words were sharp and cutting, his mouth like poison that pierced the heart.

But it was precisely this sense of familiarity that made Xi Luo forget the estrangement and unfamiliarity they had felt after several years of separation.

"You little brat, watch your mouth! I have a lot of 'backers' now!"

"If you upset me, I might summon all the gods from the far north and south to beat you up..."
