Listening while climbing the mountain.
By the ti Li Jingshu and Lu Huaijin reached the cliff top, the sun had already begun to set in the west.
At the peak of Ghost God Cliff, where countless ghost gods had once been sealed, stood a towering altar.
The altar was engraved with images of many ghost gods, and the depiction of mountains and earth veins was very clear.
Yet at the center of these mural images was the fierce-looking goddess with a leopard's head and a human's body, her hair unkempt.
Undoubtedly, that was Xiluo in the form of the Evil God.
In fact, today's altar is no longer the simple one it was back then.
Gathering the power of all the ghost gods of Yunng Marsh, with Xiluo coordinating...
This altar, in so sense, could even be regarded as a "Pantheon."
["So Master can be so imposing too!"]
Looking up at the red-haired youth sitting on the altar.
This was Lu Huaijin's first ti seeing the stern and awe-inspiring Li Boyang.
Compared to his gentle and affable nature in the village.
This version of Li Boyang perfectly fit Lu Huaijin's entire imagination of the Son of the Mountain God and Innate Saint.
"..."
Compared to the red-haired child four or five years ago.
Li Boyang is now fourteen years old, fully grown into the image of a young man.
By the standards of this era, a young man of this age could have long beco the head of a household, capable of taking charge.
Not to ntion, Li Boyang's physical developnt was far more robust than other boys his age.
Aside from the obvious traits of red hair, red skin, and fangs.
The most admirable aspect of Li Boyang was his strong, muscular physique.
The red fur robe could not conceal his agile form...
The golden rope around his waist further complented the symtry of his upper and lower body...
If there was one incongruous aspect of Li Boyang's entire appearance.
It would probably be the clutter of protective talismans around his neck and waist.
However, even the talismans Chen Yun obtained from various temples.
After being worn by Li Boyang for so many years, they emitted a faint divine glow.
While wearing just one might not ensure illness- and disaster-free life for an ordinary person, it could fend off minor ailnts and misfortunes.
"This child is becoming more and more extraordinary..."
Lying on her exclusive branch, Xiluo glanced inadvertently at those protective talismans.
She knew better than anyone why Li Boyang's talismans had such miraculous effects.
"If ordinary Innate Divine beings were to witness such changes, they would surely yearn for them."
"But the child has no desire to beco a god, so these changes might not necessarily be good for him."
Muttering vaguely, Xiluo closed her eyes again and gradually drifted into dreams amid Li Boyang's voice.
...........................
When Xiluo opened her eyes again, Li Boyang had already finished lecturing.
Li Jingshu and Lu Huaijin were sitting beside him, whispering and chatting softly.
The Mountain Gods on Feilai Peak had long since gone down the mountain, returning to Yunng Marsh to fulfill their duties.
Lectures like this occurred almost once every month according to Li Boyang's schedule.
Any ghost god who perford well in the previous month was allowed to co to Feilai Peak and listen to Li Boyang's lectures.
This was also the vision Li Boyang laid out for the ghost gods in captivity.
re imprisonnt was aningless...
re labor would only increase resentnt...
Only by offering these ghost gods benefits and hope could their minds be truly transford.
According to Li Boyang's pre-set reward and punishnt system.
These ghost gods wouldn't be imprisoned in Yunng Marsh forever.
Once they completed a certain amount of tasks and genuinely accepted their ideological transformation to understand a normal sense of good and evil.
Li Boyang would allow these ghost gods to leave Yunng Marsh, regardless of where they went.
As for the once-a-month lecture?
Apart from the occasional integration of personal doctrinal teachings, it could be considered a compensation Li Boyang offered to these ghost gods!
Ghost gods who no longer recognized live sacrifices and understood the ways to advance in the future.
Once they left Yunng Marsh, what kind of changes would they bring to this world?
This was precisely the curiosity and expectation that Li Boyang held.
"You finally woke up?"
With a bit of helplessness, Li Boyang glanced at Xiluo, who had just jumped down from the branch.
Every ti he taught, Xiluo would fall asleep halfway through.
It made Li Boyang sowhat question himself—is his voice really that hypnotic?
"Every ti, you repeat the sa things; while you might not be tired of saying them, I'm definitely tired of hearing them."
Seeing through Li Boyang's thoughts at a glance, Xiluo yawned ungraciously.
With her relationship with Li Boyang, she didn't need to listen to any lectures.
If she had questions, she'd just ask, and whatever she wanted to learn, she'd just learn it; such are the perks of their relationship.
"Rather than listening to your mumbo jumbo..."
"I'm more curious about when I can learn your 'Telepathy Divine Power'."
Communicating directly through mind and thought, avoiding word errors and ambiguities that easily arise during lectures.
This was evidently a power derived from the Spiritual Rhinoceros Horn.
However, compared to the Spiritual Rhinoceros Horn in Xiluo's possession, the divine power Li Boyang used earlier seed much more convenient and effective.
"This isn't just any Telepathy Divine Power; it's 'Observing Others' Hidden Thoughts·Unobstructed Communication Divine Power'..."
"Of course, you can also just call it 'Telepathy.'"
Li Boyang's naming conventions were as straightforward and direct as always.
Fortunately, this ti he did think of providing a simplified na.
"Observe all beings of the ten directions, knowing the hidden matters in others' hearts."
"Even before others form thoughts or intentions, they can be known and understood in advance."
"In essence, it is a particular application of the Primordial Spirit, making it relatively challenging to learn."
As he said this, Li Boyang paused slightly, then pointed towards Lu Huaijin sitting nearby.
"If you possess the sa talent as her, you might pick it up faster."
Noticing Li Boyang and Xiluo's gaze.
Lu Huaijin imdiately stopped whispering, sitting upright and well-behaved.
"You always love bringing trouble upon yourself..."
Never fond of Lu Huaijin, Xiluo frowned and mumbled.
Regarding this, Lu Huaijin, who had once t Xiluo several tis, didn't take this minor issue to heart.
After all, according to Li Jingshu, he bore a great crisis.
Li Boyang, by taking him as a disciple under Xiluo's pressure, was already defying the wishes of the Grandmother Mountain God.
A mature and intelligent Lu Huaijin certainly wouldn't foolishly assu.
If Xiluo truly wished to act against him, Li Boyang wouldn't necessarily be able to stop her.
