Chapter 427: Chapter 16: Yin-Yang Bagua All Inclusive Automated Array Plate

"Does saving your own child really go against your nature?"

Li Boyang’s words left Xiang Yao dumbfounded.

Or rather, Li Boyang had pointed out a truth he had long avoided facing.

"The Soul Jade indeed can fulfill the wishes of its holder, even subtly influencing their mind."

"But at the same time, it targets the truest side of the holder’s heart."

"Your choice was influenced by the Soul Jade, but it was also a thought in your subconscious."

Being influenced presupposes that you have this inclination to begin with.

The Soul Jade cannot directly implant thoughts into its holder.

Otherwise, Xiang Yao wouldn’t have lost a period of memory until Li Xi was born and consciousness returned.

After all, only when it cannot influence the holder,

does the Soul Jade seize control of the holder’s body to fulfill a certain action.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

After a long, silent stare at Li Boyang, Xiang Yao suddenly asked.

Regardless of whether his past actions were due to his nature, Xiang Yao was certain Li Boyang had ulterior motives.

[Could it be about that child?]

This thought flashed unconsciously in his mind, shaking Xiang Yao’s heart once again.

"What do I want to do? Haven’t you already guessed it?"

Not directly answering Xiang Yao’s question, Li Boyang just smiled and asked back.

"Xi was born with deficiencies but is extraordinarily gifted, even awakening ’Destiny Communication’..."

"You must know how taboo this divine power that can foresee the past and future is, as it might reveal forbidden things with the slightest carelessness."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yao understood Li Boyang’s meaning.

"What do you need me to do?"

With a more radiant smile on his face, Li Boyang looked up and said.

"Xi is your child; her talents and abilities are inherently linked to yours."

"Your power can help her quickly adapt to and master her innate talents."

"So, I need to separate your talents, divine power, abilities, primordial qi, and even life chart, to help Xi through her most fragile growth phase."

Hearing Li Boyang’s reasoning, Xiang Yao was first taken aback, then he too laughed.

"It seems I really have no choice; you’re merely informing me."

"No, even Celestial Erosion Monarch bringing me back and sealing me on this tree was part of your plan, right?"

Shrugging slightly, Li Boyang didn’t deny it.

"After all, you’re the party involved; if you’re willing to cooperate, that’s the best outcome."

"If you don’t want to cooperate, it will just take a bit more effort."

Scanning Li Boyang with his gaze, Xiang Yao glanced at the equally surprised Xiluo.

"Of course, I’m willing to cooperate."

"After all, as you said, she is my daughter."

Surprisingly candid, Xiang Yao was now more curious about Li Boyang’s next steps.

After all, stripping a god of talents, divine power, and life chart.

Even Xiang Yao, who had lived for thousands of years, had never heard of such a method.

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

After getting Xiang Yao’s consent, Li Boyang’s preparation wasn’t complicated.

At least from Xiang Yao’s perspective, Li Boyang simply took out a palm-sized compass and tossed it into the air.

Instantly, a three-dimensional array covering half of Bronze Island took shape.

Compared to the initial version set with Five-Colored Stones communicating with the earth veins,

this three-dimensional array far surpassed the former in complexity and portability.

More importantly, this three-dimensional array, relying on the Eight Trigrams Compass thrown by Li Boyang, was equivalent to a miniature version of an earth vein.

In other words, this three-dimensional array could be deployed without any external force.

"An enhanced barrier? A mobile array?"

"Have you really created the ’Array Compass’ you envisioned?"

Not just Xiang Yao was surprised by the existence of the Eight Trigrams Compass.

Even Xiluo showed the same expression upon seeing it.

She had known for a long time that Li Boyang was researching the diversified use of arrays.

Especially after obtaining the Barrier Realm secret technique, Li Boyang had never ceased his research in this area.

The Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror, born from Yunmeng Marsh, was undoubtedly the culmination of relevant techniques and research.

However, what Xiluo never expected was,

besides the large-scale, fortification, and grotto-heavenized Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror,

Li Boyang had also successfully developed the miniaturized, portable, and automated "Array Compass." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

Without immediately answering Xiluo’s question,

Li Boyang quickly formed a dharma seal, integrating the Eight Trigrams Compass with the surrounding environment and earth veins.

The next moment, the surface of the three-dimensional array revealed the pattern of the Yin-Yang Bagua.

Eight streams of primordial qi, representing heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain, and marsh, naturally rotated, perfectly embedding the mountain and marsh trigrams into Bronze Island’s earth veins.

Boom!

From this moment on, the "Mountain and Marsh Array" set by Li Boyang was no longer just the Eight Trigrams Compass’s array.

It perfectly adapted to Bronze Island’s natural earth vein trajectory, naturally forming an array.

The earth veins of the entire Bronze Island were its formation, and the Eight Trigrams Compass was its array eye and center.

"The evolution of arrays is complex..."

"But it’s nothing more than random combinations of the eight natural phenomena: heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain, and marsh."

"This ’Array Compass’ comes with an evolution center, capable of automatically setting the most suitable array based on the external environment."

"That’s why I named it the ’Eight Trigrams Compass’ — the Yin-Yang Bagua All Inclusive Automated Array Plate."

Listening to Li Boyang’s familiar complex naming style, Xiluo’s lips twitched habitually.

"Did you not once say you wanted a divine artifact for automated divination?"

"I feel that if I try a bit harder, the next version of the ’Eight Trigrams Compass’ might also achieve semi-automated divination."

Speechlessly glancing at Li Boyang once more,

Xiluo felt that his memory always focused on such peculiar things.

"Can be used for array formation, as well as divination..."

"Is your next step to mass-produce and promote the ’Eight Trigrams Compass’ across the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"

As expected by Xiluo, Li Boyang raised an eyebrow and responded with a half-smile.

"Why not, with something so convenient?"
