I Come to Teach You Cultivation
Chapter 416 - 5: Destiny Communication (2/3)
"Divine Power is indeed the accelerator of civilization."
Glancing at the proverb talismans on the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman, Li Boyang asserted confidently.
For a nascent civilization, these proverb talismans are akin to an open-book examination.
As genuine high-dimensional text, the existence of proverb talismans may not parallel legendary theories like the "Theory of Everything," "Unified Field Theory," and the "Grand Unified Theory."
But they are the foundation stones of continuous progress in fundamental disciplines like mathematics, physics, and chemistry due to the various mathematical formulas and physical theorems they contain.
For any civilization, these conclusions require countless years to deduce step by step.
However, in this mythical era, a thousand years ago, Wu Yao had already glimpsed these answers in advance through the Celestial Destiny Divine Power.
What’s even more absurd is, due to the textual nature of the proverb talismans,
cultivators, when reverse deciphering these formulas and theorems, often gain a deeper understanding of the principles and laws within them.
Such issues of comprehension thresholds caused by textual barriers would never appear with the proverb talismans.
"You’ve repeated this countless times. I’m tired of hearing it."
Decisively halting her martial arts practice, Xiluo casually summoned a cloud to sit upon.
"Speaking of which, what’s your plan for that little girl who’s been living at your house?"
"Your parents have long considered her a half-daughter and have been caring for her..."
"If you plan to send her away, you need to prepare in advance."
Slightly arching his brow in surprise, Li Boyang feigned astonishment and replied.
"Are you talking about Xi?"
"She’s so well-behaved and obedient, how could I possibly bear to send her away?"
Rolling her eyes in exasperation, Xiluo felt that sooner or later, she’d be infuriated to death by Li Boyang.
To this day, Xiluo no longer hoped to outlive Li Boyang and inherit those wondrous magical treasures from him.
Being less angry at him even once and living just one day longer became Xiluo’s lifelong goal.
"I just hate your feigned ignorance."
"The girl may be well-behaved but is also very dangerous, not much less than Lu Huaijin."
In Xiluo’s perception, although Lu Huaijin was Li Boyang’s disciple, he was also a very dangerous individual.
This danger was not reflected in Lu Huaijin’s strength but in his abilities and tendencies.
Being a half-body of the Guhuo Bird and having cultivated the extremely bizarre "Six Desires Celestial Demon Chapter."
Xiluo wouldn’t be surprised if one day Lu Huaijin’s demon nature exploded leading to some master-slaying conduct.
More importantly, as Lu Huaijin has grown over the years and gradually become independent.
Her reputation in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range also tended towards deviation.
With labels like sinister, cold, and obsessive, she became generally acknowledged as such among hostile spirit monsters and gods.
The fact that Xi, who is gentle, is compared to Lu Huaijin shows the level of apprehension Xiluo holds towards her.
"She is different from Lu."
Seeing through Xiluo’s thoughts at a glance, Li Boyang just shook his head.
Xi was the mixed-blood demigod brought from Gaotun Village by Er Tu five years ago.
She was born with snake hair and tail, further opening the celestial eye at her forehead, nearly weak to the point of dying young.
It was through Li Boyang’s indiscriminate pill feeding, along with the meticulous care from Li Yu and Chen Yun, that this divine-human hybrid demigod safely grew up.
"Different? How so?"
"Is it her uncontrollable prophetic capability?"
Xiluo was speaking the truth, compared to the inherently sinister Lu Huaijin.
Xi’s danger is entirely in the uncontrollable aspect of her abilities.
A short time after her birth, she awakened the ability to petrify living creatures. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
In the subsequent years, this mixed-blood demigod repeatedly shattered everyone’s understanding, exhibiting various mysterious and bizarre talents.
Until a year ago, Xi suddenly acquired the ability to foresee the future.
If Li Boyang hadn’t popularized the divination method, making divination a basic capability in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
The mere fact of Xi constantly mentioning disasters or fatalities, embodying an "ominous mouth" trait, would cause vast apprehension and panic amongst most people.
Many uninformed individuals would rather believe that Xi wasn’t prophesying but cursing.
"You know it’s prophetic ability, huh?"
"Since it’s not a curse, what’s there to worry about then?"
Before Xiluo could refute, Li Boyang went a step further.
"Xi’s prophetic ability doesn’t stem from her divine father but from her mortal mother..."
"Or, more precisely, that celestial eye capable of seeing the future comes from the Huai River Witch."
Stopping Xiluo dead in her tracks, Li Boyang continued seeing the speechless look on her face.
"Xi’s father is a curse god, so she naturally possesses an extraordinary cursed ability."
"But prophecy isn’t a curse; it’s more direct than divination in piercing through the future."
Divination is a prediction, a big data fortune-telling.
But prophecy directly sees the future and then describes the future seen.
Each has its pros and cons, forming a complementary relationship.
After all, prophecy only sees a fragment of a future moment, not the detailed course of an entire event.
If the details and causes can’t be sorted out, it could easily lead to situations where the actions taken to avoid a result become the reason that promotes its occurrence.
"The wisdom penetrating the fate of previous lives - the Destiny Communication."
"In a certain sense, Xi’s ’Destiny Communication’ is actually a simplified version of your sister’s ’Celestial Destiny Divine Power.’
After gazing deeply at Xiluo for a while, Li Boyang pointed out the fundamental reason for her disfavor towards Xi.
"She doesn’t have your sister’s residual soul nor is she a substitute for your sister."
"She is merely a new life born under fortuitous circumstances influenced by a piece of Soul Jade."
"All of this was caused by Xi’s serpent god father and has nothing to do with her."
Xiluo consistently claimed she wasn’t like the Celestial Erosion Monarch and had entirely accepted her sister’s demise.
But the truth was, when it came down to it, Xiluo eventually could not suppress the regret and hope in her heart.
"Xiluo, I don’t know when you discovered this."
"But let me tell you this, you were entirely correct before; the Huai River Witch is indeed long dead."
"This is confirmed by the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor; she cannot come back to life."
Slowly standing up, Li Boyang walked to Xiluo’s side and spoke softly.
"Let’s go! We should pay a visit to the Celestial Erosion Monarch."
"My intuition tells me if we don’t go soon, he might stir up trouble again."
