I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 277 - 2: Map of Mountains and Rivers (3rd Edition) (2/3)

Over the past half year, Li Boyang has been tormented by the growing number of voices.

But as Wu Yi said,

after accepting this reality, Li Boyang actually became accustomed to listening to voices from various places.

Besides the more formal blessings and prayers,

Li Boyang occasionally heard some strange rumors and all sorts of bizarre stories.

Regarding this, Li Boyang could only marvel that even in this age without the internet, there is no shortage of shocking and absurd incidents.

Especially the actions of some gods, which utterly redefined Li Boyang's understanding.

For instance, a god related to "fertility" once proved their power by impregnating all living beings in an entire village in one night—without regard to gender or species.

Unfortunately, after "Wu Yi Shoots the Sky," there was no further development of this matter.

Not only because that god had died,

but also because the village that worshiped Li Boyang's statue was buried by an earthquake.

It wasn't until this moment that Li Boyang realized why the gods of legends ascended so high and neglected the mortal realm.

They've witnessed too many powerlessness events, leading to tremendous exhaustion of their spirit.

Rather than repeatedly wrestling with inner conflict, it would be better to choose indifference.

To maintain one's humanity and integrity with a nonchalant, detached attitude.

Of course, besides adapting to the increasing number of voices, Li Boyang hasn't been entirely idle over the past six months.

During these hundred or more days, the Prison Soul Tripod has remained in an open state, burning continuously.

All in an effort to repair the previously damaged Map of Mountains and Rivers.

After the battle with Wu Yi, the Map of Mountains and Rivers was almost declared obsolete.

Thankfully, Li Boyang exerted tremendous effort, allowing the Map of Mountains and Rivers to be reborn in a new form.

Nowadays, the Map of Mountains and Rivers is no longer limited to the topography of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Places worshiping Li Boyang's statue have also been included within the Map of Mountains and Rivers, forming a trend of continuous expansion.

It's not merely the credit of the statues,

or more precisely, those statues merely pointed out the locations.

The topography, more than anything, comes from the human-faced fish under the Red Fish's command.

They carried the River Map, exploring each tributary along the way, and the recorded information correspondingly appeared in the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

This naturally includes the village of the "Fertility God."

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

"You've been staring at that rift valley for a long time. Is there something special about it?"

Looking up at the Map of Mountains and Rivers floating mid-air, Xiluo curiously asked.

At this moment, both Li Boyang and Xiluo had left the altar on the cliff and returned to the backyard of the Mountain God Temple.

The massive Prison Soul Tripod continued to inhale and exhale Primordial Qi...

Colorless Pill Fire shot up to the sky, turning into fiercely burning flames...

Only the Map of Mountains and Rivers floated above the Prison Soul Tripod, with the mountains and rivers in the scroll clearly visible.

"Half a year ago, it wasn't a rift valley."

Retracting his gaze from the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Li Boyang sighed lightly.

His gaze lingered on the village originally belonging to the "Fertility God."

But with Wu Yi killing the "Fertility God," the village, deprived of divine protection, was buried by an earthquake.

Similar situations have occurred repeatedly within this half year.

Saying it's a matter of course might seem too heartless,

but Li Boyang's acceptance of these events is indeed incrementally increasing.

"If you ask me, sometimes you overthink things,"

Though not knowing why Li Boyang sighed, Xiluo formed her own understanding.

"You may not realize it, but the frequency of your sighs has been increasing in recent years..."

Without waiting for Li Boyang to object, Xiluo once again focused on the Map of Mountains and Rivers and asked,

"How much longer until your 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' is restored?"

"It's my first time seeing you use the Prison Soul Tripod for such a long time. Will this 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' surpass the 'Tai Chi Diagram' in power?"

Hearing this, Li Boyang chuckled ambiguously.

"It depends on how you understand the word 'power'."

"The 'Tai Chi Diagram' possesses the ability to balance Yin and Yang, making it the most fitting magical treasure for me."

"The 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' is somewhat lacking; I barely utilize the various attribute enhancements of Energy Talismans."

Pausing briefly, Li Boyang continued.

"But if you don't limit 'power' to combat capability..."

"The 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' indeed has diverse functions, such as this..."

With a gentle point of his finger, the image on the Map of Mountains and Rivers rapidly shifted.

In the next second, the scene of Li Family Village was reflected in the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Differing from the simple 'pictures' before, what now appeared before Xiluo was a real-time 'video' of Li Family Village.

The old village chief sat rambling before the shrine, seemingly unable to run out of things to say.

Led by Li Yu, the young adults directed the Bronze Beasts in a hasty harvest.

The women and children were also busy, knitting sweaters with threads while preparing lunch.

What about the children of the village?

Neighboring village children had returned home to help their parents with the harvest during the autumn season.

Those still in the village were mostly local children.

They sat obediently in the classroom, reciting the Zhouyi with Li Jingshu.

Additionally, the big yellow dogs in the village, led by several Huo Dou, roamed the nearby mountain forests.

Should any wild beasts or spirit monsters invade, they would bark wildly to alert.

As the perspective slowly drew nearer, Xiluo even saw the Unihorned Rhinoceros yawning lazily, with most of its body submerged in the stream.

"Are these... real?"

In disbelief, Xiluo gazed at the 'animation' on the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

She never thought she would witness Li Family Village in such a way.

"How far can this 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' see?"

Sparking a quick association, Xiluo immediately asked.

"As long as it's included in this map, everything is visible."

Li Boyang gently tapped again, causing the image on the Map of Mountains and Rivers to change instantly.

This time, what appeared in their view was the Guifang Kingdom, long reduced to ruins and silence.

With Wu Yi annihilating the gods and Li Boyang reclaiming the Tai Chi Diagram, the Heaven-Howling Clan, no longer maintained by obsession, finally vanished completely.

At present, apart from the persistent netherworld aura and lingering resentment, the Guifang Kingdom no longer posed any danger.
