I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 172 - 41: When Heaven and Earth Forsake Me, I Stand Alone (2/3)

Chapter 172: Chapter 41: When Heaven and Earth Forsake Me, I Stand Alone (2/3)

Rewinding time slightly, inside the Ghost God Cliff cave.

"Who will become the body for the Celestial Erosion Monarch?"

When the black dog asked this question, the Guirong Clan was clearly taken aback.

The reason it was stunned at this moment was not just because of the black dog’s question, but also because the other party shouldn’t be so lucid right now.

"How is this possible?"

Involuntarily asked this question.

From this, it’s evident that the Guirong Clan indeed wasn’t prepared.

It had inherited the divine techniques of the Celestial Erosion Monarch.

Yet it couldn’t perfectly assimilate the black dog without any cost.

Earlier, it deliberately released its memories to shake the black dog’s mind.

That was to break the other’s mental defenses, allowing it to guide the entire fusion process.

The Guirong Clan had anticipated this day for a thousand years and prepared for all possible unexpected events.

However, it never foresaw that the black dog could recover its mind so quickly.

No, the other party might not have had its defenses broken from the start, but waited for the chance to engage.

Swish!

A faint dark light was brewing where the Guirong Clan contacted the black dog.

It was the fusion of Yin and Yang, the essence of the powers of the Guirong Clan and the black dog, and a sign of the Celestial Erosion Monarch’s return.

"It’s not impossible..."

A rare cunning flashed in its eyes.

The black dog didn’t bother explaining to the Guirong Clan.

But as their powers intertwined, the Guirong Clan peered into the other’s memories—this was the power of the Primordial Spirit.

"That red-haired ghost again!"

The Guirong Clan, filled with shock and anger, for the first time felt regret.

Why didn’t it choose to kill Li Boyang personally from the start?

The Primordial Spirit is the source of the soul, a trace of spirituality at the birth of a living being.

Upon first cultivating the Primordial Spirit, the black dog realized that its memories and even powers might not be complete.

If someone attacked using this "flaw".

Any normal being would inevitably experience mental disturbance and generate a Heart Demon.

However, upon cultivating the Primordial Spirit, the black dog embarked on the path of the Primordial Pill that stands alone of heaven and earth.

It actively discarded its original powers and re-cultivated into a Primordial Pill.

This Primordial Pill was not the Yang side of the Celestial Erosion Monarch, but the integrated Essence, Qi, and Spirit of the black dog as an independent entity.

From that moment, the black dog shed the identity of the Celestial Erosion Monarch’s avatar and became a truly independent being.

In this situation, the black dog might not be able to completely avoid or eliminate Heart Demons like Li Boyang.

But if anyone used that incomplete memory as a "flaw" against it, they would end up in situations like now where a turn of events occurs.

"This has nothing to do with Li Boyang, it’s just a difference in our choices."

As the fusion continued, the black dog’s Primordial Spirit quietly delved into the darkness.

"I may have lost that crucial memory, but I have been seeking ’self’..."

"In contrast, you are immersed in the past power of the Celestial Erosion Monarch, only desiring to recreate the devouring Celestial Erosion Monarch of the past."

"You still live in the past, but I have already embarked on the path of the future."

The birth of the Primordial Spirit signifies the consolidation of self-awareness.

And the consolidation of self-awareness means that the black dog has gained absolute advantage in this psychic warfare.

"No! I still have hope!"

Realizing this too, the Guirong Clan’s face turned even more ferocious.

"The Yin Yang Talisman, the one refined by Li Boyang..."

"It’s the most powerful Yin Yang Talisman you and I have seen..."

"Its power far surpasses the force Wu Yao used to separate us back then."

"As long as I acquire it, what will it matter if you’ve cultivated the Primordial Spirit?"

"Ultimately, we will merge again, and I will be the dominant one!"

Its consciousness also entered that dark glow.

The blood demon body controlled by the Guirong Clan had already found a solution.

Because with the sharing of memories and abilities, the existence of the Tai Chi Diagram also came into the Guirong Clan’s view.

Based on the shell of the Land Turtle, fused with the divine power of the Qingmu Clan.

The power contained within the Tai Chi Diagram had long surpassed the typical concept of a "Yin Yang Talisman", being a Supreme Divine Artifact capable of affecting a Celestial God.

Not to mention, the profundity of the Tai Chi Diagram cannot be measured by simple strength or weakness.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the blood demon turned into a shadow and soared into the sky.

Since the top of Ghost God Cliff is directly above the cave, the fight between the Guirong Clan and the black dog hindered the seal operation of Feilai Peak.

So the blood demon almost made it through the thick rock wall without any obstacles, appearing at the top of Ghost God Cliff.

Swirl!

It was at this time, at sunrise.

The entire Feilai Peak was set ablaze by Xiluo’s flames.

The ferocious and terrifying Ghost Gods repeatedly tried to break free from their shackles, only to be suppressed time and again by Xiluo.

So when the blood demon first emerged at the top of Ghost God Cliff.

The distressed Xiluo didn’t even notice the fleeting blood shadow.

Boom!

It wasn’t until the blood demon approached the altar that a metallic gleam suddenly repelled it fiercely.

"Kid, this is not where you can go!"

In the surprised eyes of Xiluo and the Ghost Gods, one of the Four Directions Gods overseeing the west—Totem God Kunwu made its move.

In the blink of an eye, a faint metallic sheen enveloped the entire altar.

Though the seal had loosened, Totem God not only didn’t try to break free but used this power to guard the altar.

"You... have gone mad?"

Another of the Four Directions Gods, the Fire God, was astonished.

It couldn’t comprehend why Totem God didn’t seize the chance to break the seal, let alone help Xiluo at this moment.

"Because I am Kunwu, the Guardian God of the Tieyu Tribe!"

"I have been different from you misfits from the start..."

"I was sealed here simply because I didn’t agree with Wu Yao’s weak nature."

"I really like humans, I love watching them explore and grow bit by bit..."

"A thousand years have passed, and I finally saw Wu Yao’s shadow in Li Boyang."

"Most importantly, he doesn’t have Wu Yao’s weak, compromising nature; how can I sit by and do nothing?"

Kunwu’s statement infuriated the Ghost Gods still trying to escape, but it didn’t care.

After all, if Kunwu cared about the world’s views or other Gods’ opinions.

It wouldn’t have stubbornly poked at Wu Yao’s sore spots in the past and gotten sealed in Feilai Peak for a thousand years, never willing to compromise.
