Sea of the North Netherworld, on Turtle Island near the Sea Eye.
"Heh heh, this time I finally managed to trick that kid!"
Xiluo suddenly opened her eyes and said proudly, raising her head.
"Getting caught so many times, and you didn’t get caught this time, what’s there to be proud of?"
With a helpless side glance at Xiluo, the Rain Master Shangyang commented while bending over to plant spinach.
This spinach is a specially bred cold-resistant variety.
Even in such an extreme environment like the North Sea, they can successfully take root and sprout.
"What do you know! Where there’s a first time, there can be a second!"
"If that kid hadn’t cultivated that ’Profound Yellow Qi’ which prevents all Divination Methods,"
"I’d calculate his position every half hour just to annoy him to death!"
Xiluo stood up angrily, her resentment towards Li Boyang ran deep.
Knowing well that she practiced the [Omen Divine Power] and had a highly sensitive Primordial Spirit, she was constantly being divined.
It was less about determining her location and more about reminding her to go home.
Of course, Li Boyang’s divination frequency wasn’t as high as Xiluo claimed, but he did perform it every few days.
"Isn’t it because you snuck out yourself?"
"Honestly, you’ve been out here for over two years; don’t you plan to go back?"
Hearing this, Xiluo shook her head resolutely.
"Of course not, there are so many Gods hiding in this North Sea, I need to find each one of them!"
Upon hearing Xiluo’s words, Shangyang sighed deeply once again.
"Whose fault is it that your notorious reputation precedes you?"
"Wherever you go, you have to subdue the Gods there. It’s a wonder they only try to hide from you!"
"If you ask me, if you just want to borrow their power, wouldn’t it be better to talk to them one by one?"
A sly smile instantly appeared on Xiluo’s face, and she had a completely different opinion on the matter.
"The results of talking and fighting are completely different."
"Especially with the Gods born in the extreme conditions of the North Sea..."
"Without beating them soundly, they would never truly submit."
In this regard, Xiluo knew far more about those Evil Gods and Demons than Shangyang did.
After all, if she hadn’t tamed a Dragon Turtle capable of Calling the Wind and Summoning the Rain,
Shangyang would probably still be trapped at the Sea Eye of the North Sea, only able to wander during thunderstorms.
Even so, Shangyang’s range of free movement was limited to this Turtle Island.
Thinking of this, Xiluo couldn’t help but look down at the Turtle Island beneath her feet, her eyes filled with undisguised envy.
"Your Dragon Turtle grows so fast, the last time I saw it, it was only the size of a rock..."
"This time it’s already turned into a real island, even capable of growing spinach on it."
As if in response to Xiluo’s words, a low hum suddenly emanated from the front of the Turtle Island.
Immediately, a gigantic dragon head turned to look at Xiluo and Shangyang on the Turtle’s back.
"Hi! You’re finally awake!"
Xiluo waved and greeted the Dragon Turtle, her smile as bright as ever.
However, upon seeing Xiluo’s smiling face, the Dragon Turtle couldn’t help but shiver, its lazy expression instantly turning into a bitter helplessness.
If it had known that the legendary "Queen Mother of the West" was like this before achieving the Path, it wouldn’t have shown itself willingly no matter what.
"Great aunt, this time I..."
Before the Dragon Turtle could finish speaking, Xiluo interrupted without hesitation.
"Don’t worry, I’m not here to fight you this time!"
"Wait, almost got sidetracked by you, I’m not here for you at all this time!"
Hearing this, the Dragon Turtle visibly sighed with relief, its expression returning to its usual laziness.
Even though this "Queen Mother of the West" was quite different from what it imagined,
her characteristic of keeping her word hadn’t changed much.
"Shangyang, you must have sensed it too, right?"
Turning to look at Shangyang who was still planting spinach, Xiluo’s expression became unusually serious.
"I came this time after receiving a plea for help from the North Sea Gods..."
"In less than a month recently, seven or eight North Sea Gods have gone missing."
"The remaining North Sea Gods have also sensed the changes in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, a kind of unprecedented transformation is occurring in the North Sea now."
This unprecedented change reminded Xiluo of the Emperor’s Liquid incident.
The difference being the Moon God at the time surrendered her own path in exchange for the Gods’ ignorance of the Taiyin Star’s evolution.
However, the Pathfinder appearing in the North Sea now clearly hasn’t abandoned their own path.
On the contrary, the Pathfinder is even meddling with the changes in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, using this to manifest their path in this era.
"That’s the Celestial Demon, also a ’Great Freedom Heaven’ still in the womb."
Without a trace of emotion, Shangyang glanced at the Dragon Turtle and straightened his body to answer Xiluo’s question.
"All beings and all creatures, whether it’s insects or strange beings, as long as they are born, they have obsessions."
"Among them, the obsessions of sentient beings are the deepest, persisting through life and after death."
"But obsessions are just obsessions. With the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, souls have their ultimate destination."
"But have you thought about it; since the Six Paths of Reincarnation is an order, someone would naturally want to exploit loopholes."
When saying this, Shangyang paused for a moment before continuing.
"Especially for us cultivators..."
"A single thought can give birth to, or extinguish life; any extreme thought can easily lead to serious consequences."
"Li Boyang referred to this circumstance as a ’Heart Demon’, initially intended to indicate abnormal Primordial Qi phenomena caused by extreme emotions within the cultivator’s heart."
Nodding, Xiluo naturally understood the concept of a "Heart Demon".
Xiluo also knew that Li Boyang’s commonly used Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect was derived from his "Heart Demon".
"If Heart Demons are born from within, manifestations of a cultivator’s extreme obsessions and emotions..."
"Then if in the future, a Pathfinder attempts to embody this concept and transform into the demon in the hearts of all beings..."
"Who would be this demon; the cultivators or that Pathfinder themselves?"
With Shangyang’s words reaching this point, it would be underestimating Xiluo if she still didn’t understand.
"The Path of the Heart Demon?"
"Are future Pathfinders really that crazy!?"
"And how do you know so much about it? Have you also cultivated the ’Future Knowledge’ divine power?"
With a shrug, Shangyang sighed as calmly as possible.
"At this point, don’t bother with how I know these things."
"Just know that those missing North Sea Gods have most likely been captured by the Celestial Demon’s power, becoming demons in the Great Freedom Heaven."
