I Come to Teach You Cultivation - Chapter 372 - 10: Path Seekers of Great Xia (1/3)
The development process of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range over the past few years.
Even someone like Xiao’e, who has personally experienced it, finds it somewhat unbelievable, let alone a returnee like Er Tu who left long ago.
However, although Er Tu feels regret about this, he does not regret his choice.
Back in the day, Er Tu relentlessly pursued Huo Ji all the way to the Kunlun Ruins in the Land of the Far West.
He witnessed the arrival of the Daughter of the Celestial Emperor, Gou Xing, and saw the entangled grudges between her and the Huai River Dragon Maiden.
After that, Er Tu decisively gave up the idea of continuing to pursue Huo Ji and began his return journey to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Who would have thought the "Wu Yi Shoots the Sky" event would occur not long after Er Tu left the Land of the Far West.
Although Er Tu did not get hunted by Wu Yi due to Li Boyang.
Along the way back, he witnessed the tragic deaths of countless Gods and the catastrophes caused by the turmoil of Primordial Qi.
It’s important to note that Er Tu has always been a Spirit Monster who is quite close to humans.
Before meeting Li Boyang, Er Tu’s greatest joy was wandering among the various kingdoms of humans, engaging in battles of wits and courage with different humans and Gods.
Upon seeing such tragic sights, Er Tu could not possibly remain indifferent.
Thus, Er Tu began helping the humans affected by the catastrophes along the way or saving Gods who hadn’t completely perished.
The former was manageable, although somewhat troublesome, without major obstruction.
However, the latter inevitably brought him into conflict with the Great Xia.
Especially the Witches from the Great Xia, who would not allow anyone to rescue those Gods under their nose.
As one might expect, Er Tu experienced countless battles on his return journey.
Unconsciously, a legend about the "Southern Evil God continuously opposing the Witches of Great Xia" began to spread within the Great Xia and its bordering kingdoms.
In his normal state, Er Tu already possessed the ability to combat adversaries of higher levels.
When he transformed into a fierce Black Dragon, it would take a Great Witch like the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches to even try and contain him.
However, there are always exceptions, especially in life-and-death struggles.
Two years ago, when the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches were overwhelmed with dealing with the aftermath of Wu Yi Shoots the Sky.
Er Tu, while rescuing a dying Goddess, happened to encounter the most unconventional Great Witch among the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches—Wu Zhen.
She was a Witch, also the most passionate about knowledge among the Great Witches.
Out of curiosity for Er Tu’s ability of Thousand Transformations, Wu Zhen wanted to capture him.
That was the most memorable battle for Er Tu.
The witchcraft of the witch named "Wu Zhen" was bizarre, and her fighting style was unusual, utterly shattering his worldview.
Most importantly, the various techniques Wu Zhen used were not limited to traditional witchcraft.
Martial Arts, Medicine and Poison, Puppetry, Curse Technique, Gu Worm, Invincibility, Fate Exchange...
Facing an endless variety of techniques, even with the ability of Thousand Transformations, Er Tu could only watch himself gradually fall into a disadvantaged position.
In the latter stages of the battle, Er Tu even glimpsed traces of Celestial Human Technique from the opponent.
It wasn’t that she practiced Li Boyang’s Celestial Human Technique, but rather she had internalized and applied it personally.
For Wu Zhen was a Path Seeker and an Innovator, like Li Boyang.
She perfected her path by learning from all things under heaven, all methods, and Divine Power. She was indeed qualified to establish a school, become a Dao Ancestor.
Realizing this, Er Tu hesitated not for a moment, turned around and chose to flee with the dying Goddess.
No one understood more than Er Tu how troublesome an Innovator like Li Boyang could be.
Without exaggeration, Er Tu felt that the reason he managed to fight with Wu Zhen for days and nights was largely attributed to her lack of killing intent.

"So, you managed to escape in the end?"
Sometime later, Xiluo quietly appeared behind Er Tu, asking with immense curiosity.
"Mountain God Granny!?"
"Don’t scare me! You know I’m naturally timid!"
Being startled, Er Tu instinctively turned around, a trace of fear still on his face.
"Looks like Wu Zhen has indeed left you with a significant psychological shadow?"
With a slight tease, Xiluo transformed into a humanoid form, then slowly sat down on a stone bench nearby.
Since it was Er Tu’s first time seeing Xiluo’s human form, he was obviously taken aback.
Whether it was the red feather robe adorned with ribbons or the enchanting effect Xiluo exuded, it far exceeded Er Tu’s imagination.
Had he not witnessed Xiluo transform from a Wenli to a woman with his own eyes.
Er Tu might have suspected that he hadn’t completely shaken off Wu Zhen’s entanglement.
"She must be the most cunning human I’ve ever met..."
"You all haven’t interacted with her, you simply don’t understand how troublesome she truly is."
Er Tu spoke as he once again found himself lost in memories.
After countless escapes and hiding, Er Tu didn’t even know how many forms he had transformed into before finally shaking off Wu Zhen’s pursuit.
Soon after, the Goddess Er Tu saved also woke up.
That Goddess was named "Xuansu Clan," a deity from Great Xia.
According to Xuansu Clan herself, the reason she wandered into the chaotic Primordial Qi region outside of Great Xia was purely out of curiosity.
Xuansu Clan’s reputation was not notable across the countries of Great Xia.
Only a few outer small kingdoms had faith and worship in her.
After Wu Yi Shoots the Sky, out of curiosity to explore the essence of this change, she was attacked by Wu Yi’s Divine Split.
In utter desperation, to evade Wu Yi’s pursuit, Xuansu Clan fled erratically into the outside world.
But alas, she then encountered Wu Zhen, one of the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches.
To be honest, had it not been for Er Tu’s fortunate rescue, Xuansu Clan likely would have perished on the spot.
Afterwards, Xuansu Clan and Er Tu lived together day and night, evading Wu Zhen’s pursuit and slowly heading towards the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
"One male and one female? Living together day and night?"
Sharp enough to catch the key points, Xiluo couldn’t hide her gossipy curiosity.
"Ahem..."
With an awkward cough, for the first time, Er Tu showed a hint of shyness.
"The process isn’t important; what matters is the result."
"Xuansu Clan and I truly love each other, and we even have a child on the way."
"The reason I took so long to return to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range is because of Xuansu Clan’s condition."
"Since getting pregnant, her health has deteriorated and simply cannot endure the hardship of a long journey."
As he said this, the shyness on Er Tu’s face quickly turned into anxiety.
"Xuansu Clan is now on the brink of giving birth. For the safety of her and the child, I had to hurry back to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range alone."
"Prophet, Mountain God Granny, I return this time to seek your help!"
