Chapter 484 - 13: Grasping the Universe, Stars Enter the Furnace
"Are you asking for my help?"
Tracing back along the river of time, Li Boyang saw the silhouette of the Golden Toad in past timeframes.
The Three-legged Golden Toad existed in the past and will exist in the future...
Only in the current timeline where he stands, the Three-legged Golden Toad does not exist.
Upon observing this highly contradictory phenomenon, Li Boyang immediately understood the unknown Pathfinder’s intentions.
To ensure continuity of space-time, to bring the Three-legged Golden Toad from illusion into reality, and make it a true being in the future.
The Pathfinder must find a way to have it born in this current timeline.
But instead of attempting to directly overpower Li Boyang, forcing him to acknowledge the existence of the Three-legged Golden Toad,
On the contrary, the other side’s act of actively displaying the Beidou Seven Stars Array was actually showing weakness to Li Boyang.
As long as the Three-legged Golden Toad can be born, it doesn’t matter about its origin.
Even if it becomes Li Boyang’s disciple, mount, or even a plaything, it doesn’t matter.
As long as Li Boyang acknowledges it, the Three-legged Golden Toad will truly be born in this era.
By that time, the continuity of time and space from past, present, and future would be established, and the Three-legged Golden Toad would naturally become an eternal Moon God.
"First, willingly gave up the authority of the Moon God..."
"And now, willing to submit to me, your path to enlightenment really is so humble!"
His eyes once again gazed downstream of the river of time, and Li Boyang saw the possibilities of the Three-legged Golden Toad appearing by his side in different forms.
A better scenario might be like the Golden Horn and Silver Horn, existing in the world as disciples or children.
A less favorable one would be as a mere plaything in his hand, an accessory hanging at his waist.
Li Boyang knew clearly, as long as he allowed this Three-legged Golden Toad to exist in this timeline, those future scenarios were all possible.
As for how the Three-legged Golden Toad would appear in the future?
Judging by the innate divine powers of that Three-legged Golden Toad and the Beidou Seven Stars Array,
The Pathfinder is highly likely aiming to make it a disciple of Li Boyang to receive his protection.
With this thought, Li Boyang closed the Celestial Eye at his brow, yet a hint of suspicion flickered across his face.
[Is this Golden Toad really the Pathfinder?]
With such a question flashing through his mind, Li Boyang then decided to make a move.
Buzz!
A golden halo unfolded above the Three-legged Golden Toad.
Then a large hand reached out from the halo, as if catching a real toad.
In an instant, the Beidou Seven Stars Array surrounding the Three-legged Golden Toad shot out seven solid Sword Qi at lightning speed.
Seeing this scene, Xiluo promptly retreated to Li Boyang’s side, no longer entangling with that Three-legged Golden Toad.
Clang!
Thus, accompanied by a piercing sound of metal clashing,
The Profound Yellow Gang Qi flickered briefly on the surface of the giant hand, and then transformed into seven corresponding strands of Profound Yellow Sword Qi shooting towards the Beidou Seven Stars Array.
This was Li Boyang’s innate [Body-Protecting Sword Qi].
Any attack directed at Li Boyang would trigger a reflex from the [Body-Protecting Sword Qi].
Against such fierce counterattacks, the Beidou Seven Stars Array unfolded by the Three-legged Golden Toad was as fragile as glass, unable to withstand for even a second.
...........................
"This seems a bit like bullying the weak with the strong..."
Standing upright in her Celestial Maiden form, Xiluo sharply commented.
Although Xiluo considered herself capable of breaking the Beidou Seven Stars Array, it definitely wouldn’t be as effortless as Li Boyang made it seem.
Not to mention, when Li Boyang dismantled the Beidou Seven Stars Array, he didn’t even use any particular means, it was purely the reflexion from the [Body-Protecting Sword Qi].
"Using the Power of the Celestial Stars to imitate my Sword Qi..."
"It’s indeed a shortcut, but ultimately not the right path."
Slowly drawing his hand out from the [Qiankun Ring], Li Boyang looked at the struggling Three-legged Golden Toad in his hand and laughed.
At this moment, the Three-legged Golden Toad had been completely restrained by Li Boyang.
Its body was no larger than a palm, and even the golden Copper Coins were stuffed tightly in its mouth, appearing on the brink of death.
"The time of birth wasn’t long, but it learned how to play dead quite quickly."
With a half-cry, half-laugh glance at the Three-legged Golden Toad, Li Boyang certainly knew it was pretending to be dead.
After all, Li Boyang only broke the opponent’s Beidou Seven Stars Array, but did not take action to kill it.
Of course, this was also related to the Three-legged Golden Toad’s own immortality.
As long as it was under the moonlight, the Three-legged Golden Toad was hard to kill completely.
In fact, this was one significant reason Li Boyang chose to drag the Three-legged Golden Toad into the [Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror].
Only what he never expected was, even in such a moonless place, the Three-legged Golden Toad could still summon the Power of the Celestial Stars using the Beidou Seven Stars Array.
"The array is broken, but what about those seven stars in the sky?"
Looking up at the sky, Xiluo didn’t hide her distress upon saying this.
Just like all misers, this [Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror] had long been seen as her territory by Xiluo.
Therefore, when the Sword Qi manifested from the starlight scattered and wreaked havoc in the [Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror], Xiluo was truly pained.
"This can be handled!"
He extended his other hand into the [Qiankun Ring].
Li Boyang’s hand appeared simultaneously above the seven stars.
Such a method of dividing into seven, for the [Qiankun Ring] which bore the power of time and space, was simply the most ordinary usage.
So, when Li Boyang opened his palm again, there were seven Copper Coins newly appeared.
These seven Copper Coins possessed a silver-white texture.
As if an embodiment of the Emperor’s Liquid, yet they also contained seven distinctly different fierce forces more than usual.
"Gluttonous Wolf, Giant Gate, Lucun, Wenqu, Lianzhen, Wuqu, Pojun..."
He gently caressed the seven Copper Coins with his fingertips, reciting the words on them one by one.
Then, with a moment of thought, his gaze shifted to the Eight Trigrams Furnace on the Undying Tree beneath him.
"What are you planning to do?"
Keenly catching Li Boyang’s gaze, Xiluo also looked at the Eight Trigrams Furnace below.
"Don’t you feel that the ’Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror’ currently lacks a bit of starlight?"
With those words, Xiluo immediately understood his intention.
"What’s your ingenious plan this time?"
Accustomed to Li Boyang’s untimely whimsical plans, especially in Alchemy and Artifact Refining,
Li Boyang always managed to create many fascinating gadgets.
As the biggest beneficiary of Li Boyang’s series of actions, Xiluo couldn’t help but be curious whether he planned to use those seven Copper Coins for pill refining or to forge them into a magical treasure?
