Chapter 28: Celestial Destiny Bone Armor
"I really shouldn’t hesitate at this moment."
After a brief silence, Xiluo suddenly stood up from the clay sculpture, her gaze growing firm.
"The old thing was right, perhaps you are indeed the destined one that my sister has waited for a thousand years."
As Xiluo spoke, she slowly lowered her head and spat out an object.
It was a transparent white disk.
About the size of a regular coin, yet as smooth as jade.
When Xiluo spat out the white disk, the air in the entire Mountain God Temple seemed to warm considerably.
Particularly the Valkyrie Statue behind Xiluo, which seemed to come to life, with a glint in its eyes.
"This is the treasure my sister left behind—the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor."
"It is a bone armor my sister crafted from her own thoracic vertebra, inscribed with all the maxims she comprehended throughout her life."
"As long as one holds the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor, anyone can temporarily borrow my sister’s Celestial Destiny Divine Power."
Seeing the puzzled expressions on Li Boyang and Big Girl, Xiluo decided to personally demonstrate how to use the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor.
"For example, like this, I believe it will rain tomorrow."
After saying this, Xiluo suddenly tossed the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor into the air and let it fall freely.
"When the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor lands face up, it means I guessed correctly; otherwise, I guessed wrong."
When the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor landed face up on the ground.
Li Boyang fell silent, while Big Girl still scratched her head in confusion.
"So... did it mean I guessed right? Or wrong?"
"Does it really mean it will rain tomorrow?"
When Xiluo heard Big Girl ask this.
She then realized that whether it will rain tomorrow is indeed not something that can be verified on the spot?
[Better ask another question!]
[Your question can’t be verified on the spot, and it’s not precise enough.]
[You should ask whether it will rain around Feilai Peak during the day, to get a more accurate answer.]
[Big Girl, pick up the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor and ask whether we are going to Feilai Peak in the morning or at noon.]
Already intrigued, Big Girl immediately picked up the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor from the ground, obediently following the instructions.
"Bone Armor, oh Bone Armor!"
"Are we going to Feilai Peak in the morning or at noon?"
"If it’s in the morning, show face up, if it’s noon, show face down."
After muttering for a while, Big Girl carefully tossed the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor.
When the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor landed, Big Girl widened her eyes in surprise and shouted excitedly.
"It’s face down! It really is face down!"
"This bone armor is really amazing!"
Seeing Big Girl intending to toss the bone armor again.
Xiluo leaped down from the clay sculpture, snatching the bone armor mid-air.
"Knowing it’s accurate is enough, don’t keep tossing it, it’s not your toy."
Glaring at Big Girl, Xiluo then turned to Li Boyang and said.
"What we just tested is just the most basic use of the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor..."
"The reason I was willing to take you to Feilai Peak today is also because the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor told me to."
"In reality, the true usage of the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor is far more profound than this."
"As long as you can truly master the ’Nine Chapters of Divination’, there will be very few things in this world that you don’t know."
Walking over to Li Boyang, Xiluo reluctantly tossed the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor into his arms.
"From today, you are the true owner of this Celestial Destiny Bone Armor."
"But you have to take good care of it, I need to retrieve it after you die!"
Rolling his eyes deftly, Li Boyang never expected that so soon after his birth, someone would already be thinking about his end-of-life affairs.
[Maxims, huh?]
Carefully examining the maxims on the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor.
Li Boyang was curious whether the power of the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor came from these maxims or from the inherent attribute of the spine bone of the Huai River Witch?
[However, with this Celestial Destiny Bone Armor, I know how to resolve the crisis at Black Cloud Marsh.]
...........................
Meanwhile, inside Black Cloud Marsh.
Thick black smoke continuously billowed out from the Pill Furnace, though it was much thinner compared to a few days ago.
Nearby, the Corrupted Beasts, eroded by the black fog, lined up to leap into the Pill Furnace one after another.
The reason why the black fog of Black Cloud Marsh ceased expanding outward.
Li Boyang and Xiluo’s continuous hunts during this time was certainly a major reason.
But another significant reason was that the Corrupted Beasts were turning into fuel for this Pill Furnace.
Woosh!
The flames, already ignited by Evil Qi, became even more vigorous and intense after devouring life.
In the faint distance, one could hear a deep and robust roar from the Pill Furnace, akin to that of a wild ox.
"Heaven and Earth Return to Origin, Evil Ghost Turns into Pill."
Silently appearing in front of the Pill Furnace.
The old man finally uttered human words this time, instead of meaningless ghostly wails and howls.
This signified that the old man regained his consciousness, becoming a true Ghost King.
"Did you think you could disregard me as a mindless Evil Ghost?"
"How does it feel to capsize in a ditch?"
"Do you feel furious, in pain, eager to obliterate me utterly?"
"Unfortunately, the more you suffer, the more you struggle, the more you aid me!"
Listening intently to the roars from the Pill Furnace, a cold smile appeared on the old man’s face.
With the Earth Fiend Fire and the continuous sacrifice of Corrupted Beasts into the Pill Furnace, the old man was confident he could completely refine this Ox-headed Yin Spirit into a Ghost God Egg.
By then, he only needed to swallow this Ghost God Egg, and the old man would naturally transform into a true Ghost God.
While Ghost King and Ghost God differ by only one word.
They signify a vast difference in the life hierarchy between heaven and earth.
In any era, beings that could be bestowed the title "God" were supremely revered existences.
But even that was far from enough, the old man’s ambition was not limited to this.
"To truly return to life, I need a physical body..."
At this thought, the old man suddenly recalled Li Boyang—remembering the golden Sword Pill that had thwarted his plans several times.
"A body capable of housing the ’Shenxiao Sword’ Sword Soul, your corporeal form should suit my resurrection, right!"
"Speaking of, I owe my current state to you."
"Otherwise, where would I have gained the experience of ’Pill Fire Soul Refining’, and how could I have crafted a genuine Ghost God Egg?"
Gritting his teeth as he recalled his own death experience, the evil aura around the old man solidified into a substantive fierce flame.
Compared to the Raging Flame of the Evil Spirit God Nai Fu, who had been sealed for a thousand years and remained weak throughout.
The fierceness and intensity of this flame completely dominated.
