I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 77 - 33: Three-Inch Man

[What an arrogant bunch of people...]

Sweeping his gaze over the representational objects one by one, Er Tu felt the power and dominance of the Guifang Kingdom so tangibly for the first time.

Among those representational objects were priestly idols, beast tusks, and indescribable things pasted with various bizarre talismans...

So now the question arises, which one among these is the Divine Soul of the Nvman?

"Can you find it?"

Quickly finding a concealed spot to revert to his original form, Er Tu whispered in a low voice.

The next second, Er Tu’s shadow abruptly rose and astonishingly transformed into a three-inch-tall figure roughly equivalent in size to him.

"Let me try; it’s my first time using such a shapeshifting form."

The voice went from muffled to clear, and the sound from the three-inch figure was unmistakably Li Boyang’s.

"Sound... then perception..."

As Li Boyang continued to adjust the structure of the three-inch figure, a pair of pitch-black eyeballs gradually took shape.

Unlike the eyes of ordinary creatures.

This pair of eyeballs had a rudimentary visual function but could see things invisible to normal creatures.

Because the specific structure of these eyeballs was derived from the third eye at Li Boyang’s brow.

Coupling with the unique nature of the three-inch figure, replicating some of Li Boyang’s original abilities was possible.

For example, a special perception of Primordial Qi...

"You need to hurry; I’m getting a bit scared now."

Perhaps it was the solemn atmosphere of the grand hall, or maybe it was the first time doing something so thrilling...

Er Tu felt his legs trembling, and the body of the three-inch figure trembled along with him.

"Don’t panic; being like this will only slow me down."

Seeing this, Li Boyang quickly spoke up.

His true form was still miles away, appearing here only through the flow of Evil Qi and resonance with shadows.

"I’ll try, but things like this are out of my control."

Trying his best to steady his trembling legs, Er Tu knew the gravity of the situation.

But born timid like a rabbit, even after becoming enlightened, there was no exception.

Luckily, Er Tu had seen the world, and he had his own determination.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to do such dangerous things at all.

"Alright! I think I see ’Nvman’!"

As if responding to Li Boyang’s words, a clay pot nearby suddenly moved.

Immediately, the three-inch figure detached from Er Tu’s shadow, tumbling and climbing directly to the base of that clay pot.

"Wait for me!"

Quickly following suit, Er Tu’s movements were equally nimble.

If he hadn’t been without a shadow behind him, this scene wouldn’t have been so terrifying.

"What is this..."

Looking up at the clay pot on the shelf.

Er Tu immediately saw those eerie and sinister symbols on the surface of the pot.

For some reason, Er Tu felt a certain terrifying power lurking within those symbols.

This was Er Tu’s gift, an innate ability to seek fortune and avoid evil.

When he first met Li Boyang, it was because of this ability that Er Tu remained vigilant.

"That’s a Proverb Talisman, a special script imbued with power."

Recognizing the essence of those symbols at a glance, Li Boyang took the initiative to explain.

"This world isn’t just full of fools..."

"Others besides the Huai River Witch have also realized the existence of ’High-dimensional Text’."

Carefully scrutinizing those seemingly ambivalent Witchcraft Talismans.

Li Boyang was not sure whether these talismans were gifts from the Five Directions Gods or the result of the research by successive priests of the Guifang Kingdom.

If it were the former, would forcibly breaking this seal alarm the Five Directions Gods?

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

"What should we do next?"

Watching the three-inch figure circle the clay pot again and again, the anxious Er Tu finally couldn’t help but ask.

"If this continues, we’ll be discovered sooner or later."

Amid the three-inch figure’s observation of the clay pot, Er Tu noticed the outside guards were beginning their shift change.

According to Xuan Hui’s explanation, the guards here changed shifts every half day, followed by a cleaning by dedicated maidservants.

So the interval during which the two shifts of guards changed was the only opportunity for the two of them to steal the Nvman Divine Soul.

"Seems like there’s no time for careful study..."

Also noticing the guards changing shift outside, Li Boyang sighed regretfully.

"Prepare to escape! I reckon it won’t be easy for us to leave."

Before the words were finished, the three-inch figure leaped up suddenly, transforming into a shadow that enveloped the clay pot.

Swish...

In an instant, the clay pot sank as if into a quagmire, swallowed by the shadow.

When the shadow returned beneath Er Tu, the previously tranquil Ancestral Temple Sacrificial Hall suddenly shook.

"Who!?"

With an unknown angry roar.

The eyes of four deities’ statues above the Divine Temple, without exception, opened simultaneously.

Yet, warned by Li Boyang, Er Tu was already prepared for escape.

Without the slightest hesitation, Er Tu instantaneously transformed into an eagle, flying out through the nearest window.

Crash... 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

In an era where wooden structures were the norm.

A mere wooden window couldn’t stop the eagle that Er Tu transformed into.

But just as the eagle burst through the window, the closest deity statue acted preemptively.

Boom!

A terrifying bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.

Thus, the eagle about to escape the Divine Hall had to retreat, barely avoiding the lethal lightning.

"Deceiver? How dare you..."

"No, it’s the Red-haired Ghost, you dared come seeking death!"

As the eagle turned back in shock, it saw that deity statue leaping from the altar, crashing toward it with blinding speed.

"Heaven-Howling Clan?"

"So this is what you looked like as a mortal?"

The shadow underfoot suddenly rose, and the three-inch figure Li Boyang had transformed into intercepted the fatal blow for the eagle.

Crash...

The grand hall shook again, and visible cracks appeared on the ground.

Those cracks spread out like spider webs, rapidly extending in all directions.

And as the cost of taking on the three-inch figure directly.

The statue of the Heaven-Howling Clan was forcibly knocked back to its altar.

Apart from the other four deity statues, other tablets and skulls toppled to the ground, plunging the originally orderly layout of the grand hall into chaos.

"Go! What are you waiting for!"

Awakened by Li Boyang’s exasperated words, Er Tu snapped back to reality.

Learning from the last experience, this time Er Tu didn’t turn into an eagle but transformed into a smaller and faster hummingbird, flying toward the window.
