I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 251 - 21: Cataclysm Approaches, Defying Heaven (3/3)

That night, the stars were sparse in the bright moonlight.

After sending off Li Jingshu and Lu Huaijin, Li Boyang sat back on the altar at Ghost God Cliff.

This altar gathers the power of many ghost gods, enabling Li Boyang to best share the voices from the believers.

In a situation where it is impossible to actively isolate those voices.

Li Boyang had to sit on this altar for a long time to gain a bit of leisure.

In fact, this is also one of the major reasons why Li Boyang has returned to the village less frequently in recent years, gradually becoming a legend.

Especially in recent times, Li Boyang wasn't even sure how many places the Human-faced Fish had visited, or how many statues of himself had been erected.

"If you ask me, you just like to find trouble for yourself." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Appearing silently, then finding a comfortable place to lie down.

Xiluo looked at Li Boyang in the center of the altar, a trace of worry inadvertently flashing through her eyes.

"That girl herself is a split soul of the Guhuo Bird, and now you're teaching her how to use the Celestial Eye, aren't you afraid she'll become a disaster in the end?"

"Or, do you expect her to deal with the Guhuo Bird that sneaked into the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang looked at Xiluo with some surprise.

"You actually figured out that Guhuo Bird?"

"Didn't you say you didn't like studying the 'Nine Chapters of Divination'?"

Actually, it's not surprising that Li Boyang was so shocked; Xiluo had always left him with the strong impression of being illiterate.

"Not liking it is one thing, not being able to learn it is another."

"Now that I have cultivated my Primordial Spirit, it would be a waste not to practice 'Omen Divine Power.'

"After all, I don't want to be kept in the dark, only to find out what happened afterward."

As she said this, Xiluo paused slightly.

"Since the Celestial Erosion Monarch left the Hundred Lands Mountain Range..."

"There aren't many beings left that can actually provide assistance to you."

"Or do you think I'm willing to always hide behind you, accepting your protection obediently?"

It was the first time Li Boyang heard Xiluo express her feelings so candidly, and he fell into silence.

Only then did he realize how much the flood disaster a few years ago had changed Xiluo.

She no longer wished to be a bystander on the sidelines when truly significant events occurred.

Or more precisely, Xiluo never wanted to relive the "Death of the Huai River Witch" from a thousand years ago.

"What else have you figured out?"

After a brief silence, a vague sense of foreboding arose in Li Boyang's heart.

"I've figured out a lot of things..."

"For instance, you are waiting for that 'Witch King' of Great Xia."

"Or, for instance, that the Guhuo Bird will eventually come after Lu Huaijin..."

"You deliberately used Lu Huaijin as bait, just to uncover the true cause of my sister's death through that Guhuo Bird."

With a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, Xiluo's eyes were full of light, and there was no longer any trace of laziness.

"I even figured out you are trying to deal with a forthcoming catastrophe..."

"A catastrophe more terrifying than the great flood, even my Primordial Spirit has perceived its brewing."

When Xiluo said this,

Li Boyang's pupils suddenly contracted, and the ominous feeling inside him was immediately confirmed.

"Alright, I probably know, no need to continue."

"Don't forget Wuzhiqi's Sharp-Earing, some things are heard as soon as they're spoken."

Not noticing the change in Li Boyang's mood, Xiluo just flicked her tail and said.

"I know it well, which is why I'm saying it."

"I just want you to know, I, Xiluo, have never been anyone's burden..."

"Without me, you wouldn't even have been safely born into this world."

Gazing intently into Li Boyang's eyes, Xiluo straightforwardly laid her cards on the table.

"I am your backing!"

"I was in the past, I am now, and I will surely be in the future."

Vaguely, Li Boyang seemed to see Xiluo's half-human, half-beast Primordial Spirit form, and the serene smile reminiscent of the Huai River Witch.

"Seems like I'll have to adjust my plan..."

Sighing helplessly, Li Boyang could only smile and say.

"After all, if heaven's will doesn't allow me to stay away from trouble, then following it loses its meaning."

"Sometimes knowing something is impossible yet striving for that sliver of chance is the true essence of the 'Path of Divination.'"

Slightly tilting her head in confusion, Xiluo didn't quite understand what Li Boyang meant, but that didn't stop her from understanding his gaze.

"That's more like it! You can trust me unconditionally at any time!"

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

Almost at the same time that Li Boyang changed his mind and decided to go against fate.

In the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, near a relatively large mountain people settlement.

Hidden Flight had just arrived there with the Flower Mantis when she suddenly widened her eyes, a strong sense of foreboding swelling in her heart.

"This..."

This sense of foreboding came too fast, too suddenly.

Hidden Flight couldn't even steady herself, falling off the head of the Flower Mantis.

Thankfully, Flower Mantis reacted swiftly, reaching out to catch her.

Only thus was Hidden Flight spared from the sight of tumbling embarrassingly to the ground.

"What happened to you?"

Frowning at the dilated pupils of Hidden Flight, Flower Mantis could clearly hear her heartbeat skip.

"Damn, someone has set their sights on me!"

"No, not just me, someone has set their sights on us!"

She emphasized the word "us."

Hidden Flight obviously wasn't referring to the Flower Mantis she was with.

To a Guhuo Bird capable of foreseeing fortune and misfortune, the ominous sense's significance had transcended individual death.

Only a crisis threatening the very existence of the Guhuo Bird as a species.

Could evoke such terror in Hidden Flight, who has lived for so many years.

"Could it be Wu Yi?"

The first thought Hidden Flight had was of the Great Xia Witch King.

But she immediately rejected this notion.

For while the Great Xia Witch King was indeed powerful, even if all the Guhuo Birds united, they could not be a match for him.

But what the Guhuo Bird truly relies on is the immortal Reincarnation Soul.

Not to mention the current Wu Yi.

Even if the first Witch King were resurrected, it wouldn't be possible to kill all the Guhuo Birds in one fell swoop.

That exceeded Hidden Flight's understanding, it was simply not a feasible thing.

"Wait... If not Wu Yi, then who else could it be?"

As if waking from a dream, Hidden Flight suddenly thought of Li Boyang—the Path of Celestial and Human he walks.

It was a completely unknown road, an entirely unfamiliar power.

Just slightly treading this path led Hidden Flight's understanding to evolve.

If, for instance, Li Boyang possessed a means to eliminate all Guhuo Birds at once.

Though bewildered, Hidden Flight wouldn't consider such a possibility entirely zero.

"After all... he is the one designated by the Lord of the Netherworld."

Since acquiring the power of reincarnation, it was the first time Hidden Flight felt urgent, frantic, and even fearful emotions.

But after a brief moment of panic and fear.

An unbidden thought surfaced in Hidden Flight's mind.

[Wait, why am I scared? Should I even be scared?]

With the emergence of this thought, Hidden Flight's gaze became hollow and frenzied.

[Does this fear stem from the Guhuo Bird? Or the Night Traveling Maiden?]

[Who am I really!?]

[The Celestial Human Technique, only that Celestial Human Technique... I must obtain the complete Celestial Human Technique!]

Upon making up her mind, Hidden Flight's frenzy calmed, though her eyes held a determined resolve.

[Looks like I'll need to take some risks, can't keep waiting like before.]
