Chapter 326 - 9: Death Calamity Approaches (3/3)
"Indeed it’s strange, but not difficult to handle."
Gently stroking his chin, Li Boyang walked around Xiluo a few times.
"After all, it’s just a feather robe..."
"Simply by inscribing Yin Yang Talismans on it, you can maximize the reduction of its influence on the user."
Xiluo rolled her eyes effortlessly, not forgetting the purpose for which Li Boyang had her wear this feather robe.
"Then how do you plan to explore the abilities of this feather robe?"
"Could it be that you really intend to use this feather robe as a simple transformation tool?"
Not only would Li Boyang not do such a thing, even Xiluo wouldn’t allow such a shameful "waste" behavior.
"Of course not!"
"It can allow ordinary creatures to possess divine power, which is very helpful for the simplified spells I’m researching."
Without hesitation, Li Boyang shook his head in denial, naturally not intending to simply use this feather robe as a transformation tool.
Whether it’s the Guhuo Bird or the Night Traveling Maiden, to Li Boyang, who has mastered the Thousand Transformations Divine Power, they are forms that can easily be altered.
To truly uncover the innate divine powers of these two is the reason Li Boyang gave Xiluo this feather robe to use.
Besides, Li Boyang could see that Xiluo seemed to really like the form of the Night Traveling Maiden.
Not because she was influenced by the charming ability of the Night Traveling Maiden.
But because she genuinely liked this human form that was different from Wenli, Red Leopard, and Evil God.
After all, for Xiluo, the threshold for the Thousand Transformations Divine Power was truly too high.
As for the Transformation Technique derived from the Thousand Transformations Divine Power?
Xiluo had tried practicing it, but in the end, she gave up halfway, and it came to nothing.
"So, what do you plan to do?"
Xiluo, whose tone revealed a strong curiosity, had always had great faith in Li Boyang, and this time was no exception.
"It’s simple, either reforge this feather robe as a magical treasure."
"Or specially forge a magical treasure to assist and control this feather robe."
The former easily damages the inherent properties and abilities of the feather robe, so Li Boyang leaned more towards the latter.
He even had a rough draft in mind on how to control this feather robe.
In the many myths and legends of past lives, those who put on feather robes and transform into celestial maidens could not lack a fluttering, ethereal ribbon.
The combination of feather robe and ribbon is a standard in traditional Chinese mythology.
The only thing Li Boyang had to consider now was what materials and method to use to forge a suitable ribbon.
As well as how to make this combination more than the sum of its parts.
"What new ideas do you have now?"
Having long been accustomed to Li Boyang’s endless methods, Xiluo was now more curious about what he intended to do.
"Hehe, you’ll find out soon enough."
Knowing well how curious Xiluo was, he still enjoyed teasing her.
As expected, Li Boyang’s behavior once again earned a rolled eye from Xiluo.
Li Boyang had no doubt that if she were in Wenli’s form, she would have clawed at him by now.
"Speaking of which, where is Golden Horn?"
"I haven’t seen him in a while?"
Knowing that Li Boyang didn’t want to talk, Xiluo figured she wouldn’t get an answer from him, so she quickly changed the topic.
Different from Silver Horn, who ran errands everywhere for Li Boyang.
Due to his steady personality, Golden Horn had always been responsible for the basic miscellaneous duties at the Mountain God Temple.
From sweeping and cooking to welcoming guests...
Having grown accustomed to Golden Horn’s presence, Xiluo felt quite unadapted not having seen him these few days.
"Him? He’s gone to see his mother."
Upon hearing this, Xiluo, who hadn’t been too concerned, suddenly furrowed her brows.
"His mother? That Bahu?"
Of course, Xiluo knew that Bahu had returned to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
She had been present when Li Boyang informed Golden Horn of this news.
But with nearly a year gone by, Xiluo had thought Golden Horn wouldn’t go looking for Bahu.
"Are you really okay with him going to see Bahu?"
"Bahu isn’t exactly a kind figure, having once intimidated the mountain range a millennium ago with ruthlessness and malevolence."
Xiluo’s words contained no exaggeration.
The reason the Huai River Witch had chosen to suppress Bahu at Feilai Peak was precisely due to her brutal nature.
"Humans are fickle, and so are gods."
Li Boyang lightly shook his head and merely smiled noncommittally.
"You can’t view Bahu with a thousand-year-old perspective..."
On this point, Xiluo didn’t disagree, using the ghosts and gods of Yunmeng Marsh as a prime example.
But the problem was, Xiluo didn’t understand why Golden Horn had suddenly changed his mind?
"Are you guys hiding something from me?"
To this, Li Boyang simply smiled without speaking, making Xiluo grow quite frustrated.
.................................................................
"You’re not here to drive me out of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"
Upon receiving Golden Horn’s definite answer, Bahu’s expression grew even more puzzled.
"No, Master predicted that you have a fatal calamity soon, I’m here to save you."
When Golden Horn said this, Bahu didn’t know how to describe her feelings.
Bahu was certainly aware of Li Boyang’s power.
He inherited the Huai River Witch’s legacy, excelling in divination.
The reason she initially chose to flee the Hundred Lands Mountain Range...
...Was partly due to her fear of Li Boyang’s divination ability.
Now, upon hearing she had a fatal calamity looming.
Bahu’s first reaction was to carefully recall which enemies might come looking for her.
Then Bahu’s face abruptly changed, and she pushed Golden Horn away without hesitation.
"Take care of the village for me, I’ll handle the rest myself."
Before the words even finished, Bahu turned and disappeared from Golden Horn’s sight.
By the time Golden Horn came to his senses, only a few bags left by Bahu were in front of him.
"So it really is a threat from the outside world?"
As if he’d anticipated it, Golden Horn merely muttered calmly to himself.
Before coming to this village, Golden Horn had thoroughly understood Bahu’s activities over the past year.
Combined with Xiluo’s brief mentions, he had already known Bahu’s strong-willed nature before meeting her.
Once Bahu pinpointed where the threat came from, facing it alone was within Golden Horn’s expectations.
"So... where are you now?"
With a gentle calculation, a faint single-horned golden dragon seemed to materialize behind Golden Horn.
That was Golden Horn’s primordial spirit, the fundamental reason he ultimately chose to meet Bahu.
In just under a year, Golden Horn had already mastered the Omen Divine Power, and had received some of Li Boyang’s true teachings in the Path of Divination.
