I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 262 - 32: Forty-Nine Paths of Heaven, One Escapes (2/3)

"Although this unformed Primordial Spirit has turned me into half a madman..."

"I have also benefited because of it, with unprecedented clarity."

"Especially now, I finally know what I want and what the right choice truly is."

With a smile once again blooming on his face, Hidden Flight spoke earnestly to Li Boyang.

"Release the Flower Mantis, and you can deal with me as you wish..."

"Even if you want to know the truth about the death of the Huai River Witch, I can tell you every detail without leaving anything out."

Upon hearing this, before Li Boyang could respond, Wu Yi had already unconsciously narrowed his eyes.

"A Guhuo Bird known for 'immortality', and yet you chose 'suicide'?"

Indeed, in Wu Yi's eyes, Hidden Flight was clearly committing suicide using Li Boyang's hand.

Realizing this, Wu Yi's expression grew even more complex.

"It's not entirely accurate to call it 'suicide' actually."

"I just feel that if I can die by the hand of this Celestial Being, it would definitely be the best outcome for me."

Having pursued beautiful things all his life, Hidden Flight said this with an unchanged expression.

"Moreover, don't you think it's a perfect ending for someone as ferocious as me to die saving others?"

It's truly impossible to comprehend such mad thoughts from Hidden Flight.

Wu Yi was so blocked by the other party that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

In contrast, Li Boyang, after glancing at the Flower Mantis at his feet, vaguely guessed the reason behind Hidden Flight's actions.

Though Hidden Flight could currently suppress the nature of the Guhuo Bird.

But even she wasn't sure how long such suppression could last.

Like a madman temporarily lucid, she surely couldn't bear to fall into madness again.

Especially after "picking up" the Flower Mantis.

Hidden Flight's rationality kept telling her that if she didn't want to repeat Wu Yi's mistakes.

Choosing death while still lucid was the best decision.

However, given the Guhuo Bird's simultaneous pursuit of "immortality," it was impossible for Hidden Flight to commit suicide.

Thus, dying by someone else's hand in a reasonable manner became Hidden Flight's ultimate choice as a "Night Traveling Maiden."

"..."

When Li Boyang realized this.

Looking again at the Spiritual Light behind the Guhuo Bird, his eyes revealed a hint of extraordinary meaning.

"Can't even choose 'death' freely?"

"Creatures like the Guhuo Bird are truly terrifying!"

Behind Hidden Flight, the alluring woman and the menacing black bird continued to bite and fight each other, symbolizing her inner struggle and resistance.

Most crucially, they kept transforming into each other.

Sometimes the alluring woman transformed into the menacing black bird, sometimes the menacing black bird transformed into the alluring woman.

The only constant was that this battle of spirit, mind, and even personality would continue until Hidden Flight completely collapsed.

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

A moment later, on the altar of Ghost God Cliff.

"So, did you just kill that Guhuo Bird? And in front of her adopted child?"

Looking at the Primordial Spirit Returning to the Acupoint of Li Boyang, Xiluo didn't hide her disbelief.

"What else? Let a tiger return to the mountain?"

Li Boyang directly rolled his eyes at Xiluo and replied testily.

"Despite what Hidden Flight did, killing her a thousand times wouldn't be excessive."

"With just her unstable mental state as a madwoman..."

"I'd dare bring her back, would you dare lock her up on Feilai Peak?"

Immediately, Xiluo nervously retorted.

"That's not what I mean, my point is she was at least a Celestial God, her death seems too hasty."

Thinking of the Celestial Gods Li Boyang and Xiluo had previously encountered, which one didn't die in an earth-shattering manner?

In comparison, Hidden Flight's death appeared too trivial, not fitting the stature or status of a Celestial God.

"Should I say I fought that Guhuo Bird for eight hundred rounds..."

"And finally killed her by a narrow margin, would that fit her status?"

Gently licking her claw, Xiluo hesitantly said.

"There's no need for that..."

"I just think she might have intended to fake her death and completely rid herself of the Guhuo Bird identity?"

Considering Hidden Flight's various actions, it's reasonable to think she wanted to fake her death and escape.

However, Li Boyang immediately dismissed Xiluo's speculation with a single sentence.

"That's impossible, if she could rid herself of the Guhuo Bird identity, she wouldn't have waited till now."

"I even have a feeling that Hidden Flight's 'suicide' isn't merely about seeking self-liberation."

"Given her exhibited self-destructive tendencies, if you told me Hidden Flight intended to drag other Guhuo Birds to die with her, I'd find that truly reasonable..."

Upon saying this, Li Boyang suddenly paused.

"What did you think of?"

Noticing Li Boyang's distraction, Xiluo immediately realized he must have guessed something.

Sure enough, as Xiluo expected, Li Boyang took out the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor, and a look of realization appeared on his face.

"Hidden Flight really intends to drag all the Guhuo Birds to die with her, that's her 'suicide'."

Continuing to toss the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor with a bizarre expression, Li Boyang only spoke after a while.

"She seems to think I have a way to kill all the Guhuo Birds?"

"Wait, did she misunderstand something?"

"Hmm, this divination result is off?"

"Why have I suddenly become the source of this great calamity?"

"Wasn't this great calamity supposed to be..."

Once again, the voice halted, and for the first time, Li Boyang experienced a sense of miscalculation as he looked at the rapidly spinning Celestial Destiny Bone Armor at his fingertips.

"I think I know what's going on now."

Almost as soon as Li Boyang said this, Xiluo's Primordial Spirit also sensed a warning.

And this warning was stronger than any before.

So intense that Xiluo started to tremble uncontrollably.

"Has this great calamity... become more terrifying?"

With a stunned expression, Xiluo asked in a trembling voice as she looked at Li Boyang.

"The great calamity is evolving into a catastrophe, a catastrophe involving all the Gods."

Nodding heavily, Li Boyang understood more clearly than Xiluo what this meant, thus understood the horror within.

"And the death of that Guhuo Bird is precisely the beginning of all these changes."

"The Great Dao is fifty: Heaven gave birth to forty-nine, and the one that is lost is its variable."

"Is this the significance of a 'variable'?"

"Ultimately, man's schemes can't compare to Heaven's schemes!"
