Chapter 312 Slate Records
Initially, the writing on the stone book was light and slightly crooked, like a child's handwriting. It was written by Bo Huixiao when he was eight years old.
“In tribal studies, we learned about beasts. There are only two kinds of beasts in the world: celestial beasts and divine beasts. Don’t you feel lonely?
I'll try to combine the locust spirit with the nine-headed golden lion! This book will record it."
Luo Xuanyi remembered the locust spirit as a mythical beast that looked like a locust. Locusts and nine-headed golden lions?
This is really interesting. What can be created? Luo Xuanyi can't wait to read on.
Bo Huixiao clearly found this event profoundly meaningful. She detailed the difficulties involved in uniting the locust spirit and the nine-headed golden lion, the mutual attacks that left both near death. Nearing death, both beasts subconsciously yearned to continue their bloodline, so she obtained a potent elixir from a member of her clan skilled in alchemy, successfully uniting them.
"The beast born is much weaker than the divine beast. It seems that the bloodline of the nine-headed golden lion accounts for a larger proportion, because it is the mother? The newborn beast only has a lion head, and the lion's body has transparent wings of the locust spirit.
Let’s call it lion locust!
Next time, let's try combining a female locust spirit with a male nine-headed golden lion. Will something different appear?"
From this experiment on, Bo Huixiao's curiosity became uncontrollable, and she began to collect various mythical beasts and combine them to give birth to strange beasts.
It seems that because Bo Huixiao's clan was so large, they were extremely indulgent towards her, supporting her with whatever elixirs and divine beasts she requested. The notes occasionally record other clan members scolding Bo Huixiao for "disrespecting heaven and nature," but these were thwarted by her father, the clan leader.
As Bo Huixiao grew older, she became more and more obsessed with it, and a large number of new species were born from her hands. She called these new beasts "spiritual beasts". After raising the spiritual beasts to adulthood, she marked them and released them back into the wild.
"Why are they afraid of creating spiritual beasts? They're really strange. If they care so much about following the laws of nature, and silkworms naturally spin silk to make cocoons, how can they be so comfortable using that silk to make clothes?
We might as well all eat raw meat and drink blood, and not wear a single piece of clothing."
Bo Huixiao had almost no reverence for the Tao. She only cared about her experiments, which gradually touched upon more taboo areas.
"Today, Big Brother helped me capture a three-legged golden crow chick and an unhatched egg. It's said that Hengtian, the celestial beast symbolizing the yang path, is very similar to the three-legged golden crow. Can a celestial beast and a divine beast hybridize?"
Bo Huixiao said this, then sadly wrote in the next stone book: "Father and Mother scolded me. Why can divine beasts be captured for experiments, but celestial beasts can't?"
"Perhaps it's very dangerous to catch a celestial beast. Big brother got injured when he tried to catch the Three-legged Golden Crow. In that case, I'll go catch it myself! Otherwise, Big Brother will get hurt again."
Luo Xuanyi's heart skipped a beat. She also wanted to know if this experiment would succeed, but the celestial beasts were incredibly powerful, and Bo Huixiao only had about a hundred years of cultivation. Could she pull it off?
Putting this one down, Luo Xuanyi immediately picked up the next one in order, only to find that the handwriting had changed significantly. Between the lines, one could vaguely see the handwriting of Bo Huixiao as an adult.
Bo Huixiao casually wrote, "Now that my right hand is broken, I'm going to start practicing calligraphy with my left hand. Hengtian is so stingy, but I still plucked a feather from it. It contained a drop of blood essence, which I fused into the egg of the Three-legged Golden Crow. I'm really looking forward to it."
Surprisingly, it only cost an arm. Luo Xuanyi was happy for Bo Huixiao, and even happier for the experiment. As the thirty-day incubation record turned page by page, a three-legged golden crow was born.
"Strange, nothing has changed."
After careful observation, Bo Huixiao finally discovered the difference.
"The soul of this three-legged golden crow isn't a true soul, but a feather of Hengtian! It turns out Hengtian's limbs can be used as souls! What about the other celestial beasts?"
But before Bo Huixiao could execute her plan, she was surrounded by her clan members, and her father, mother, and eldest brother looked at her with disappointment. As the next clan leader, her eldest brother overruled the opposition and imprisoned Bo Huixiao in the ancestral temple, deeming her "possessed by a demon."
"They won't let me touch the beasts anymore... even though the experiment was just starting to work. Wave after wave of people come to talk to me and want to perform exorcisms on me. It's so boring.
Luckily, I brought the Three-legged Golden Crow with me, hidden in my sleeve. Although I don't have a test subject, I can quietly observe it to pass the time."
There are no experimental materials, but aren't there a lot of people coming? Why not use people for experiments? Luo Xuanyi, who was born in Zang Yaozong, subconsciously thought about it and saw Bo Huixiao wrote:
"Humans are also a kind of animal. I really want to experiment. What will happen if a human and a three-legged golden crow give birth to a child?
But no, if I use humans for experiments, according to the ideas of those crazy people, in addition to killing me, my father and others will definitely be affected.
Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t have anyone else do it.”
It turned out that it was the warmth and responsibility brought by family that constrained Bo Huixiao's experiment. Luo Xuanyi turned the page regretfully.
"So, why not just use myself as an experiment?"
Bo Huixiao recorded in detail how she and the three-legged golden crow came together, and was very sorry to find that after three months of pregnancy, she only gave birth to a piece of dead flesh.
"This piece of meat has the outline of a human figure, but there are traces of feathers in the armpit area. When it is cut open, the internal organs are arranged in a manner very similar to those of birds and animals.
The meat tastes very fishy, so the fetus in the belly must be dead.
It didn't come back to life because there's no trace of a soul being injected into it. Perhaps Samsara doesn't recognize it as a living creature. What if Hengtian's feather was implanted during pregnancy?"
The smell of the dead fetus quickly attracted the tribesmen. They began to fear Bo Huixiao, and even Bo Huixiao's family members did not dare to pick up the dead meat.
At this moment, those who were clamoring to kill Bo Huixiao were all silenced by the shock brought by the alien. Bo Huixiao's mother took the opportunity to take her to the Zhongqu Mountains and let her fend for herself. Thus, Bo Huixiao was expelled from the family.
Her mother secretly brought out all of Bo Huixiao's experimental records and gave them to her, and they hugged each other before parting. From then on, Bo Huixiao never saw her family again.
Despite feeling guilty about her parents and older brother, she happily wrote, "I can finally experiment without worrying about how it might affect them!"
Although he still hadn't experimented on humans other than himself, numerous spirit beasts quickly emerged in the Zhongqu Mountains. Bo Huixiao even combined spirit herbs with divine beasts, creating spirit beasts that resembled flowers, vines, and other plants.
In addition to capturing divine beasts, she also constantly attacked and harassed celestial beasts, stealing their feathers, scales, and other belongings. Finally, she carefully wrote, "It's not just the parts of celestial beasts that can serve as souls. As long as the concept of soul is incorporated into them, even plants and trees can serve as souls."
Seeing this, Luo Xuanyi immediately thought of the summoner's golden soul. She had originally thought it was Bo Huixiao's method, but she hadn't expected it to be utilizing rules?
Bo Huixiao's experiment has begun to involve the essence of "Tao".
It’s a pity that all the stone slabs in the house have been viewed here.
Update 3~ Bo Huixiao is actually the same type of person as Hua Shen Dao Ren, the type who conducts research purely out of curiosity. However, because her family has loved her since she was a child, she chooses not to use others as a test subject out of the same love and responsibility she feels for her family. However, she is also very curious about the results of the experiment, so...
The spiritual beasts of later generations are basically the products of her experiments, and the demon beasts are the offspring born after the spiritual beasts combine with each other many times and dilute the blood of the divine beasts.
