I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 244 - 14: The Dao Spreads to Eight Directions, Gods and Demons Steal the Method (2/3)
The outskirts of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range once had a small village on the front lines of flood resistance.
As a small village that once didn’t even deserve a name, it became one of the main hubs connecting the Hundred Lands Mountain Range to the outside world after successfully resisting floods.
Over time, this village simply renamed itself Flood Control Village.
Due to being at the forefront of flood defense, the village’s reservoirs, water channels, and water infrastructure are the most complete in the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Under the pouring of concrete, those facilities constructed over several years are still functioning.
However, as the waters receded and the flood subsided, a considerable portion of the reservoirs and waterways were abandoned.
Compared to those reservoirs and channels built with stakes, gravel, and blue bricks.
Buildings cast from concrete have endured the wind and sun yet remain intact, albeit seldom visited.
Especially those places where the waters first receded, grass and trees have regrown.
"That prophet truly has extraordinary wisdom, creating things harder than rock..."
"Moreover, these can even be used by mortals without any restrictions."
Bathing in the open-air reservoir, a beautiful woman couldn’t help but sigh.
This beautiful woman is none other than the Night Traveling Maiden who rescued Huo Ji at the last moment a few years ago—Hidden Flight.
She was soaking her indescribable body in the not-so-clean water, ripples constantly spreading out to quickly turn the nearby water clean.
"I say, did you hear me?"
As Hidden Flight turned around, Flower Mantis merely watched her coldly from the side of the reservoir without responding.
"I did bring you back from the battlefield after all..."
"Couldn’t you at least appreciate your lifesaver a bit?"
With a playful expression, every move of Hidden Flight exudes extreme allure.
Unfortunately, Flower Mantis lacks human aesthetics, so he replied in a stiff tone.
"You saved me, so I voluntarily became your guardian; isn’t that enough?"
Indeed, Flower Mantis was rescued by Hidden Flight from that great battle, but he is very aware she had ulterior motives.
"Of course, it’s not enough; I don’t need your protection."
In a tone of undisguised arrogance, Hidden Flight continued.
"By the way, I heard that those mountain people are trying to replace stakes with steel to build a super-large reservoir here."
"Do you think this idea comes from that prophet or from the mountain people themselves?"
Silently staring at Hidden Flight for a long time, Flower Mantis couldn’t resist her pitiful gaze and said in a low voice with a frown.
"I’ve seen a complete ’Luo Book,’ which recorded something similar..."
"The prophet called it ’reinforced concrete,’ a very complex composite material and construction method much sturdier than a regular concrete reservoir."
Flower Mantis didn’t directly give his answer, but his words had already provided Hidden Flight with one.
"It turns out it’s that prophet again!"
"Why don’t I feel surprised at all?"
Gently patting the water’s surface, Hidden Flight slithered into the water like an agile water snake and then gradually emerged.
"Even though inheriting Wu Yao’s legacy and possessing unparalleled wisdom, he devotes himself to researching trivial matters."
"If only he could focus all his energy on developing divine techniques, how wonderful that would be!"
As one of the beneficiaries of the ’Breathing Technique,’ Flower Mantis naturally agreed with Hidden Flight’s statement.
However, Flower Mantis wasn’t merely a brute and had his own thoughts on the matter.
"Because this Prophet of the Mountains is different from you, he has a vision."
When Flower Mantis mentioned the word "vision," Hidden Flight paused noticeably.
"Haha, vision, such a pleasing word!"
"It seems more than a thousand years ago, a human mentioned a similar word to me."
Gently swimming beside Flower Mantis, Hidden Flight gazed at him and smiled.
"Do you know what happened to that human?"
"She was killed by us, and her death was the most tragic."
"Her people devoured her flesh, her pet took away her bones, but her final soul fell into our hands."
"It was the greatest and most sacred soul I have ever seen since my birth."
"When we saw that soul, I, no... we all shed tears."
Recognizing Hidden Flight’s crocodile tears, Flower Mantis understood who she referred to.
Besides the Huai River Witch from a thousand years ago, no other Innate Divine has died so tragically.
"Why don’t you transform me into one of you as well?"
"If it’s just for my talents, for the Breathing Technique, wouldn’t turning me into one of you be more appropriate?"
After a brief silence, Flower Mantis finally asked the biggest question in his mind.
As mentioned earlier, Flower Mantis isn’t purely brute; he pays attention to external matters.
Moreover, Hidden Flight never hid her abilities, so Flower Mantis naturally deduced her "Guhuo Bird" identity.
"Oh, so you have curiosity now?"
"I thought you were just a stubborn block with no thoughts of your own."
"Come, lay down and look into my eyes, and I’ll tell you why I haven’t turned you into a Guhuo Bird."
Watching Hidden Flight with a smiling face like a flower.
Unable to bear her teasing, Flower Mantis retreated several steps, then cautiously surveyed his surroundings.
After all, Flower Mantis isn’t one to probe for the truth, nor does he desire fake answers from Hidden Flight.
Yes, judging by Flower Mantis’s understanding of Hidden Flight.
He knows if he keeps pushing, he’ll only get a facetious retort.
Since that’s the case, why bother asking further?
"Ah, what a disappointment!"
"But this suits your nature, a beautiful and proud mantis."
Uttering disappointed bubbles, Hidden Flight continued.
"If you keep pressing, I would tell you I don’t want to disturb that prophet..."
"After all, transforming you into a Guhuo Bird requires immense life force."
"And to obtain such a vast life force in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, there’s no method other than slaughtering those mountain people and spirit monsters."
At this point, Hidden Flight’s voice paused slightly.
"Though I am arrogant, I’m not arrogant enough to ignore that Celestial Prophet."
