I Come to Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 317: Celestial Destiny Curse Technique, Altering Life Chart (3/3)

Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Feilai Peak.

"What’s that thing you’re holding?"

"Is it a new god statue the mountain people carved for you from the outside world?"

Curiously inspecting the clay sculpture in Li Boyang’s hand, Xiluo asked in a low voice with a peculiar expression.

Because the clay sculpture in Li Boyang’s hand had three faces and eight arms, with very obvious female features, at first glance, it was unmistakably a goddess.

However, on either side of this goddess’s head were two masculine faces.

One face had a cyan snake hanging by the ear, looking imposing yet with a hint of anger.

The other was a snake’s face covered in scales, with eyes full of rage and chaos.

"Of course not..."

Widening his eyes in slight astonishment, Li Boyang immediately refuted.

"Even if they were to be outrageous, they couldn’t possibly go this far, right?"

Li Boyang’s voice grew softer as he spoke, and eventually, even he was unsure.

Because ever since "Wu Yi Shoots the Sky".

The surviving gods, even if they hadn’t fallen to mortals, had their powers greatly diminished, far less than before.

This directly led to an increase in the various strange beings that worshiped Li Boyang.

According to their peculiar thought process, it seemed they could sculpt Li Boyang into any form.

"See, even you lack confidence in it!"

A slight smile formed at the corner of Xiluo’s mouth as she confidently said.

"Ahem, anyway, this statue is not me."

Hastily changing the subject, Li Boyang extended his hand so that Xiluo could get a clearer view of the entire statue.

"This is a new... spell I’ve been researching?"

"Anyway, it’s a new spell born from a curse that can directly interfere with fate."

Upon hearing Li Boyang say this.

Xiluo instantly forgot her previous teasing and stared with incredulous wide eyes.

"Interfere with fate?"

Xiluo naturally knew what fate was.

In simpler terms, it was the heavenly path, destiny, and causality.

The Huai River Witch and Li Boyang were the greatest observers of fate in their respective eras.

But most of the time, they merely observed fate silently and occasionally went with the flow.

The last time Li Boyang forcefully interfered with fate was when he prevented the calamity from taking shape during "Wu Yi Shoots the Sky".

Even so, Li Boyang only left a glimmer of hope for all beings, rather than exterminating that disaster before it even began.

But now, when Li Boyang claimed to have developed a spell capable of interfering with fate, it was no wonder Xiluo was so shocked.

"Perhaps interference is not quite the right term; it’s more accurately a spell that indirectly influences causality."

After a slight hesitation, Li Boyang corrected himself.

"Do you remember I told you about Buyan Huyu?"

"I actually never planned to let go of his Primordial Spirit; it’s just that the Primordial Spirit fled too quickly, making it tricky to handle."

"Moreover, he’s an ancient monster who’s lived for who knows how many years."

"If I were to pursue him forcefully, I might easily fall into his trap."

"So I thought of a curse, and coincidentally, I had a ’medium’ at hand..."

...........................

A curse is a special witchcraft curse born from flesh and blood.

In the domain of curses, the Primordial Spirit is undoubtedly an entirely new concept.

Even the Witch King, who was most skilled in witchcraft curses, could only use the "Jadeification Insomnia Curse" to trap Buyan Huyu.

Even as conceited as Li Boyang was, he did not believe he could surpass the witch kings’ proficiency in curses in a short time.

The "Curse of Flesh Mutation" was already Li Boyang’s strongest application of curses.

Therefore, Li Boyang thought of his Divination Method.

The Divination Method could predict future fortunes and misfortunes, so could it be combined with a curse to fixate the fortunes?

Changing the luck, bringing misfortune, swapping the Life Chart...

As these terms emerged in Li Boyang’s mind, he seemed to discover another application of the Divination Method.

Compared to simply divining fortunes and predicting the future,

this aggressively applicative method evidently demanded a higher price.

Fortunately, Li Boyang was only dealing with Buyan Huyu’s fragmented Primordial Spirit, and he had many mediums related to the adversary at hand.

Thus, Li Boyang sculpted a clay figure that could be used to alter the Life Chart at the smallest cost.

"Altering the Life Chart!?"

When Xiluo heard this from Li Boyang, her eyes changed as she looked at the statue again.

"Yes, I exchanged Buyan Huyu’s Life Chart with that of a similarly dying witch."

Speaking on as he casually unfolded the "Map of Mountains and Rivers".

Through adjusting and zooming the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" perspective, the two saw a small village about to be swallowed by tides.

"This small village is located to the north of the Four Directions Kingdom, originally protected by a Mountain God."

"But Wu Yi killed that Mountain God, leaving behind a bunch of powerless mortals..."

"A traveling witch took over this mess and erected my statue at the village’s center."

With a slight sigh, Li Boyang continued.

"When I discovered Tian Wu appeared near this village, I knew it was doomed."

"Especially that witch, as one of the few still active Innate Divine beings in the area, the deranged Tian Wu would go all out to devour her."

In the realms outside the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, in areas where Primordial Qi was turbulent,

It was the only way gods could rapidly restore their power, and an increasingly insane Tian Wu naturally could not escape such instinctual restraint.

"So, you swapped the Life Chart of that witch with that of Buyan Huyu."

As the image on the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" continued to zoom in, Xiluo could clearly see the three-faced, eight-armed witch.

Just like the clay statue in Li Boyang’s hand.

The witch had completely replaced Buyan Huyu’s Life Chart.

In other words, from the standpoint of the Life Chart alone, the witch had become an immensely valuable Celestial God.

"What about the cost?"

"Exchanging a mortal’s Life Chart for that of a Celestial God can’t come without a price, right?"

Suddenly turning her head nervously towards Li Boyang, Xiluo was skeptical that Li Boyang could accomplish such a heaven-defying feat with no cost.

After all, even ordinary curses come with hefty costs, let alone such heaven-defying Celestial Destiny Curse Technique.

"If you must talk about cost, I might experience a bit of bad luck for the next few years, does that count?"

Carelessly shrugging, Li Boyang tried to play it off lightly, but Xiluo’s face turned dark nonetheless.

"You’re so much stronger than Buyan Huyu’s Primordial Spirit, yet even you have to pay such a significant cost?"

"I think there are too many problems with your Celestial Destiny Curse Technique; you should use it sparingly in the future!"
