Chapter 314 - 39: As Vast as Mount Sumeru, As Small as a Mustard Seed (3/3)
Roar!
The enormous Eight Trigrams Array mobilized the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within hundreds of kilometers.
After being transformed through the [Tai Chi Diagram], all this Primordial Qi was unreservedly poured into the Prison Soul Tripod.
In an instant, a massive Qi void appeared at the location of the South Sea Sea Eye.
In contrast, under the infusion of this vast amount of Qi, the Prison Soul Tripod hummed, seemingly on the verge of collapse.
Yet Li Boyang ignored it and once again commanded all the proverbs on the Prison Soul Tripod.
Whirl... Whirl... Whirl...
Naturally, a giant Qi whirlpool took shape centered around the Prison Soul Tripod.
The colorless Pill Fire blazed fiercely, and the separated seawater was vaporized into steam.
"It’s the moment!"
Ignoring the sensation of heat from his body, Li Boyang moved with a thought.
In an instant, the thousand-foot jade statue was forcibly lifted by Li Boyang’s Divine Power.
Without a hint of hesitation, Li Boyang once again executed hand formulas, attempting to cast the thousand-foot jade statue into the Prison Soul Tripod.
Bang!
At the moment the tripod lid opened and shut.
The thousand-foot jade statue, as if sensing crisis, emitted a sound like clashing metal.
However, the instinct-driven thousand-foot jade statue could not resist Li Boyang’s will and could only watch helplessly as it was cast into the Prison Soul Tripod.
Bang!
Another sound of tripod lid closing.
The thousand-foot jade statue was successfully cast into the larger Prison Soul Tripod.
Then came the raging, flame-like five-colored Pill Fire that refined it, just as it refined the previous Night Wanderer Jade Statue.
...........................
"Ah!"
Thousands of miles away, in an ancient ruin in the far west.
Absorbing Earth Spring Spirit Milk, Buyan Huyu suddenly let out a wail.
His already ethereal Primordial Spirit almost collapsed in that instant.
As Li Boyang had said, Buyan Huyu hadn’t even cultivated a Yin Spirit, yet let his Primordial Spirit wander outside his body for a long time.
If not for his body’s connection with the Sea Eye, he’d have died many times over.
Despite this, while fleeing towards the far west.
Buyan Huyu absorbed and destroyed countless spiritual objects, barely maintaining his existence.
Only after finding this Earth Spring Spirit Milk did Buyan Huyu approach the threshold of a Yin Spirit.
But before he could cultivate a true Yin Spirit.
Li Boyang had already cast his body into the Prison Soul Tripod.
Even though Celestial God had long become part of the natural path, theoretically lacking the concept of a "main body."
However, monstrous beings like Buyan Huyu, who had lived for untold years.
Had ways to remold a shell different from ordinary incarnations.
This very shell extended his will, allowing him to cling to life till today.
Li Boyang’s act of casting the thousand-foot jade statue into the Prison Soul Tripod was, without doubt, an act to completely kill Buyan Huyu.
Once that thousand-foot jade statue is refined.
Even if Buyan Huyu cultivates a Yin Spirit, it would be meaningless, ultimately transforming into a pool of spiritual spring, vanishing between Heaven and Earth.
"No, I won’t die! I must not die!"
Realizing Li Boyang truly dared to destroy his body, Buyan Huyu immediately surged out from the Earth Spring Spirit Milk.
In an instant, the Primordial Spirit traversed a thousand miles, attempting to return to his body.
Unfortunately, Buyan Huyu had fled far to evade Li Boyang.
Before covering even a tenth of the distance.
Buyan Huyu felt the link between his Primordial Spirit and body severed, with no remaining connection.
"The moment has arrived!"
Entirely unaware of Buyan Huyu’s despair and struggle.
Li Boyang, seeing the moment ripe, immediately began the refining treasure process.
Roar!
In the Prison Soul Tripod, the thousand-foot jade statue had completely melted into a liquid state.
One by one, proverbs and talismans were thrown in by Li Boyang’s hand formulas, continuously shaping the new form of that liquid jade quality.
However, Li Boyang used a combined formula this time—a compound talisman.
To achieve the best effect, the talisman used by Li Boyang this time was different from before.
The first talisman was one capable of reshaping material structure without affecting its material properties.
Considering the talisman’s ability to dissociate atomic structure and reconstruct material, Li Boyang initially intended to name it "Reconstruction Talisman" or "Material Talisman."
But this naming met with strong opposition from Xiluo, who insisted on calling this talisman [Transformation Talisman].
Only under Xiluo’s incessant nagging did Li Boyang understand.
Apparently, the witch of Huai River from millennia ago cultivated numerous bizarre beings and species all thanks to the [Transformation Talisman]’s abilities.
Turning horses into dogs, turning sheep into dogs...
Then merging these distinct species to create a new one with traits of both horse and sheep.
This curious application of the [Transformation Talisman] emerged from the witch of Huai River’s wild imagination.
—Restructuring material without affecting its original properties.
Li Boyang also relied on the [Transformation Talisman] to perfectly reshape the structure of the thousand-foot jade statue without affecting the South Sea Sea Eye.
In fact, not just the connection between the thousand-foot jade statue and the Sea Eye.
Even the "Jadeification Insomnia Curse" and "Curse of Flesh Mutation" inherent in the thousand-foot jade statue were perfectly preserved by Li Boyang.
Hum hum hum...
So, when that liquid jade mass gradually took shape, forming a gigantic jade jar as pure as white fat.
Li Boyang could even sense traces of life emanating from it.
Almost as though this gigantic jade jar was a living entity.
"Calling it a living being isn’t entirely wrong..."
Muttering quietly, Li Boyang, under Xiluo’s surprised gaze, once again opened the Prison Soul Tripod’s lid.
This time, what Li Boyang cast into the Prison Soul Tripod was the [Xirang] blocking the South Sea Sea Eye.
Swoosh!
A massive suction force emanated from the jade jar.
[Xirang] glided silky smooth into the Prison Soul Tripod without a single omission.
As [Xirang] came into contact and melded with the jade jar, its essence was revealed under the influence of the [Transformation Talisman].
Every grain of sand was an independent proverb, each proverb carrying infinite variations.
Just like the "Sumeru Mustard Seed" in Buddhist lore.
Every grain of sand comprising the [Xirang] was essentially a perfect whole.
—Large as Sumeru, small as a mustard seed.
Whether these proverbs spread individually or amalgamate collectively, it does not affect their inherent independence and completeness.
A grain of sand can encompass a world.
A handful of sand gathered is also a complete world.
This is the most unique talisman among the twelve left by the witch of Huai River—[Space-Time Talisman].
