I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 39: Innate Primordial Spirit

"You wretched dog!?"

On another battlefield, Xiluo let out a low growl, having witnessed Panhu fainting before her very eyes.

Unfortunately, entwined with the Ghost King, Xiluo could only watch powerlessly.

Although Xiluo is the Mountain God of Feilai Peak,

her actual combat strength is only marginally superior to the naturally gifted Panhu.

After all, she had suffered a significant decrease in combat power recently due to a battle with Nai Fu.

She then used a burst skill capable of temporarily increasing her strength.

Therefore, once the Ghost King endures the initial surge of power, Xiluo’s threat level would drop dramatically.

In fact, this posed no challenge for the Ghost King, who was the embodiment of the Ghost Owl.

Being the strongest of the Evil Spirits, the Ghost King inherently possesses the "Undying Body," rendering any attempt to simply shatter his corporeal form meaningless.

Only by completely eradicating the beast souls within the Ghost King’s body could one hope to kill him utterly.

Thus, unsurprisingly, the battle between Xiluo and the Ghost King entered a prolonged phase of attrition.

Neither side aimed to break away; both were entirely focused on swiftly concluding the conflict.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xiluo, in the form of a Red Leopard, trod on Fire Clouds, breathing out flames.

Each assault successfully shattered the Ghost King, significantly annihilating the roaring beast souls within him.

The Ghost King’s counterattacks, though less spectacular than Xiluo’s, epitomized the eerie, the chilling, and the sinister.

Every attack carried a terrifying curse, weakening the opponent comprehensively, from physical to mental aspects.

Occasionally, the Ghost King’s piercing wails could be heard, a most nauseating form of psychic pollution.

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

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The piercing sound of metal clashing echoed throughout Black Cloud Marsh.

While Xiluo and the Ghost King’s battle was a confrontation of divine techniques, Li Boyang’s battle with the Four-armed Demon God was pure physical combat.

Relying on his Vajra Indestructible Body,

the Four-armed Demon God swung his arms, clashing repeatedly with the Sword Pill.

Even if the rotating Flying Sword occasionally pierced his body, the Four-armed Demon God could instantly heal his wounds.

As the Ghost Owl stated, in the darkness, the embodied Ghost God was invincible.

This is a trait of ghosts, a privilege of gods.

"I am a god now!"

"And a god is invincible!"

Shouting wildly, the Ghost Owl was clearly influenced by his obsession and resentment, becoming utterly deranged and arrogant.

After all, if a "god" were truly invincible, he wouldn’t have targeted Li Boyang’s body initially.

"Foolish idiot, forsaking wisdom for power."

A cold voice resonated within the Ghost Owl’s mind as the golden Sword Pill halted in mid-air.

The next second, Evil Qi surged from beneath the earth, gathering continuously near the Sword Pill.

This abrupt occurrence directly stunned the Ghost Owl, who had been intent on continuing his attack.

Roar!

As Evil Qi gathered, the ground began trembling, the crust collapsing.

In an instant, a small-scale earthquake erupted within Black Cloud Marsh, swiftly extending throughout the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

"Gathering Evil and Refining Form? Ghost Secret Technique?"

With eyes wide in shock, the Ghost Owl uttered the essence of this phenomenon.

"How do you know our Ghost Secret Technique?"

Ghost Secret Technique is the method the Ghost Owl used to cultivate Evil Ghosts and a secret not passed down by the High Priest of the Guifang Kingdom.

If not for unexpectedly becoming a Fierce Ghost and using the Pill Furnace’s power to capture the Ox-headed Yin Spirit, the Ghost Owl wouldn’t have achieved his current ghostly form.

Precisely because he knew the difficulty of mastering the Ghost Secret Technique, the Ghost Owl was so incredulous.

"You forged me into a Sword Soul, and now you ask how I know the Ghost Secret Technique?"

The cold voice echoed again, but this time there was a specific source for it.

Endless Evil Qi coalesced into a human shape.

It was a man whose attire and appearance were out of place for this era.

With short hair, short sleeves, long pants, and an unmistakable boyish air...

This was, unmistakably, Li Boyang’s form from his past life.

Clang!

From afar, he could be seen wielding a golden long sword, standing in mid-air, devoid of any malicious aura.

If not witnessed firsthand, the Ghost Owl could hardly believe the figure could be an embodiment of Evil Qi.

"Besides, what I’m doing isn’t your so-called ’Ghost Secret Technique’."

Li Boyang spoke truthfully; his manifestation through Evil Qi was not some Evil Ghost.

So-called ghosts are powerful entities born from a soul attached to some material.

The stronger the resentment and deeper the obsession, the stronger the ghost.

When these powerful ghosts meet certain predetermined conditions and undergo further transformation, they become so-called "Evil Ghosts."

From this perspective, Li Boyang, whose soul was attached to the Shenxiao Sword, could be considered a special kind of Evil Ghost. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Indestructible Soul, Shenxiao Treasure Sword...

If Li Boyang hadn’t ultimately killed the Ghost Owl and been reborn as a human, he would have been the Ghost Owl’s most powerful Evil Ghost.

"Impossible! You’re obviously..."

The Ghost Owl began to rebut but was suddenly stunned, eyes wide with disbelief.

Because he realized Li Boyang’s words were true; his current state was far more complex than an Evil Ghost.

Emulating the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, Circulation Acupoints of the human body...

Li Boyang had reconstructed a form independent of the physical body—an ethereal body between existence and nonexistence.

Roar!

Endless Evil Qi circulated within him, finally flowing into the Shenxiao Sword in his hand.

Critically, unlike Evil Ghosts born from resentment,

this form of Li Boyang was not only conscious and rational but also nurtured a transcendent spirituality.

It is the most fundamental, pure part of a creature’s mental awareness.

An innate essence of spirit that doesn’t rely on experience or learning post birth.

This spiritual essence is why Li Boyang isn’t considered an Evil Ghost.

"What exactly are you now?"

Perhaps out of fear of the unknown, the Ghost Owl’s voice trembled.

"I’m curious too... about what state I’m in now."

Feeling his resonance with the Earth Vein Evil Qi, Li Boyang mumbled curiously.

"Even having lost my physical body, I still retain my complete self and emotions..."

"I seem to have become a ’god’ like Nai Fu, a ’god’ formed from the Earth Vein Primordial Qi."

"Whether an Evil Spirit or an auspicious sign, it’s just a choice for a ’god’."

As if confirming Li Boyang’s words,

the Shenxiao Sword in his hand radiated a warm, jade-like aura at that moment.

"If I must give this state a suitable name..."

"I think calling it ’Primordial Spirit’ would be quite appropriate."
