As for how Li Boyang would simplify and promote the Eight Trigrams Compass in the future, we’ll leave that aside for now.

After he deployed the grand array with the Eight Trigrams Compass, Xiang Yao could clearly sense the disturbance in the Primordial Qi around.

Mu Zheng and Qing Fu, also hanging on the Human Head Tree, sensed it even more acutely than he did.

The two of them even felt as if they were enveloped by some indescribable thing.

Of course, this was not because Mu Zheng and Qing Fu were stronger than Xiang Yao.

It’s simply because this array wasn’t targeted at them, allowing them to perceive its terror more clearly.

"What is that?"

This was not only the question of Mu Zheng and Qing Fu, but also that of Xiluo, who had been observing from the side.

"It’s a seal, or you could consider it a special kind of Curse Barrier."

With a light snap of his fingers, Li Boyang manipulated the three-dimensional array to start operating slowly.

In an instant, everyone saw a wisp of pure white mist drifting out from Xiang Yao’s head.

That was Xiang Yao’s true form—a snake monster with eight severed heads.

All eight heads of Xiangliu vanished, leaving behind only those necks still gushing blood.

If it weren’t manifesting as pure white mist, no one would doubt whether that blood could corrode the earth.

As for that remaining head—Xiang Yao?

He was wriggling out from that mutilated body, vaguely appearing in the form of an anaconda.

In this visual perspective, Xiluo could clearly see those bizarre talismans on the surface of the anaconda.

That was the physical manifestation of the curse, and also the innate talent of Xiang Yao’s head.

"Celestial Destiny Curse Technique?"

"Are you going to use that curse with severe after-effects again?"

Seven years ago, Li Boyang, to completely resolve the hidden danger of the South Sea God,

once used a spell called [Celestial Destiny Curse Technique] to forcibly swap the Life Chart of the other with that of a mortal witch.

Consequently, Li Boyang himself suffered the backlash of [Celestial Destiny Curse Technique], bringing bad luck upon himself for over a year.

Pill furnace explosions, tripping while walking, choking while drinking water...

During that time, Xiluo was constantly on edge, afraid that his bad luck might inadvertently affect her too.

After all, though those unlucky incidents weren’t life-threatening, they were quite annoying if they happened.

"It’s not that serious, I’ve made ample preparations this time."

Seeing the disgust on Xiluo’s face as she retreated a few steps, Li Boyang had to explain helplessly.

"Besides, I’m not forcibly stuffing a God’s Life Chart into a mortal’s body this time..."

"I’m merely separating and extracting Xiang Yao’s Divine Format."

"For me now, this won’t cause much backlash."

As if to prove his words, Li Boyang suddenly started chanting incantations softly.

Then, everyone present witnessed a scene that was extremely eerie yet magical.

Zzzzz...

The white mist swirled above Xiang Yao’s head.

Xiang Yao, the main body, seemed to realize something as well and looked up towards his own head.

And right at that moment, the Life Essence Qi within Xiang Yao came alive, voluntarily leaving his body and surging outwards.

Whoosh!

The melding of the white mist and Life Essence Qi transformed into a lifelike white snake.

Though it appeared in the form of a white snake, it was merely a transformation by Li Boyang for everyone’s ease of observation.

In essence, it was the embodiment of Xiang Yao’s talent, Divine Power, ability, Primordial Qi, and Life Chart, devoid of intelligence or Spiritual attributes.

"What do you plan to do next?"

Gazing at the white snake symbolizing a deity’s complete format, Xiluo couldn’t help but glance at Xiang Yao again.

As the Life Essence Qi was peeled away, Xiang Yao’s body started to show obvious signs of becoming wooden.

As if he were transforming from a creature into a plant.

More precisely, Xiang Yao was only alive now, relying on the Human Head Tree to provide him with vitality.

In comparison, just showing signs of wooden transformation was already the mildest after-effect.

"Next... naturally, it’s sealing."

Li Boyang lightly exhaled a breath of clear Qi towards Xiang Yao.

The gradually wooden Xiang Yao immediately reverted to a flesh and blood body.

When he looked up again, he could finally see the white snake coiling above his head.

"This Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman is Xi’s prized possession; it wasn’t easy for me to borrow it temporarily!"

Pulling out Xi’s Sound Transmission Talisman, Li Boyang murmured softly.

Immediately after, they saw the [Eight Trigrams Compass] in the sky starting to rotate slowly.

The complex array that existed in a three-dimensional form instantly transformed into a tangible golden Barrier state.

Buzz buzz buzz...

The golden Barrier, as if formed by countless Eight-Sided Mirrors,

compressed inward continuously with Li Boyang’s ongoing incantation, until it became a fully tangible cage trapping the white snake within.

——Sealing Technique: Celestial Fate Talisman!

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

"Turning a curse into a barrier and then transforming the barrier into a talisman."

"What a genius idea and method!"

Under Xiang Yao’s amazed gaze, the golden Barrier entrapping the white snake fell into Li Boyang’s hands.

The next moment, the golden Barrier and the Sound Transmission Talisman overlapped completely.

The white snake, symbolizing its talent, Divine Power, Primordial Qi, and Life Chart, also merged into the Sound Transmission Talisman as the vessel.

In the blink of an eye, the golden Barrier and the white spiritual snake vanished from everyone’s sight.

Only the surface of the Eight-faceted, Ten-sided Sound Transmission Talisman retained, with a relief of a white snake emerging.

Though labeled as a relief, the white snake’s appearance and posture seemed unusually lively, as if it could spring to life at any moment.

"So... it’s done?"

Xiluo leaned in curiously at the talisman in Li Boyang’s hand.

The talisman retained the original function of the Sound Transmission Talisman, capable of communicating with another Sound Transmission Talisman a thousand miles away.

But besides that, this talisman now possessed Xiang Yao’s former Divine Format.

Whoever held this talisman could easily use various curses and poisonous curses without any cost.

If it fell into the hands of someone like Li Xi, it would exhibit even greater effects.

"Yes, it’s done."

"This Snake Talisman... no, it should be called the Xiangliu Talisman, it can help Xi quickly master her own talent."

"At the very least, she won’t be harmed by her own abilities anymore."

Listening to the conversation between Li Boyang and Xiluo,

Xiang Yao, whose expression was already complicated, hesitated for a long time before seemingly making some kind of decision, suddenly reminded them proactively.

"Celestial Being, beware of the floats!"

"It’s not just one god acting; I suspect they’ve collected many Soul Jades by now."
