I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 290 - 15: When the Saint Speaks, the Masses Respond (3/3)

It turned out that Li Boyang somewhat underestimated Li Yu's influence.

Or more precisely, Li Boyang overlooked the authority and reputation he had gradually established over the past decade.

Not to mention the flood disaster on the South Shore concerned the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Even if it had nothing to do with the mountain tribes themselves.

As long as it was confirmed to be a request from Li Family Village, especially from the Son of the Mountain God and the Mountain Prophet, more than half of the mountain villages would participate in this mission without hesitation.

"My child's achievements today are all thanks to the Prophet's guidance."

"Now that the Prophet rarely needs our help, our Hemu Village will naturally oblige without hesitation."

"Our Fengrao Village is the same!"

"If it weren't for the Prophet's good seeds, we would have almost perished in the flood disaster a few years ago."

"The people of Baoqu Castle have already started gathering."

"Our lives were saved by the Prophet and the Deity of Deceit, we would go through fire and water, no matter the cost."

...

These were the statements from representatives of the various mountain villages, expressing their heartfelt gratitude.

The mountain people might have limited knowledge.

But the great flood disaster from a few years ago was still fresh in their memory, they could not possibly forget the role Li Boyang played in it.

Moreover, as more and more mountain people came into contact with the outside world through the canals, they also witnessed the fate of those Fang Kingdoms without the protection of anyone.

Especially the destruction of the Guifang Kingdom, where hundreds of miles around turned into a dead land.

This made those who harbored illusions clearly realize that safety and peace were never unconditional.

They were simply lucky to be born in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, thereby avoiding becoming victims of that flood disaster.

In fact, it wasn't just the mountain people who arrived upon hearing the news.

A large number of spirits, and even the Hundred Lands Gods, all gradually appeared near the Mountain God Reservoir.

When the Red Fish told Li Boyang this news.

Normal language could no longer describe his shock at that moment.

After all, Li Boyang had not informed the spirits and gods about this news, they really came on their own initiative just by hearing some rumors and movements.

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

Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Yunmeng Marsh.

"Why have you come too?"

Sitting on a wooden boat heading towards the South Shore, Panhu looked somewhat puzzled at the White-Scaled Giant Snake swimming freely in the water.

Both in front of and behind Panhu, there were more boats advancing, making up a considerable-sized water transport fleet.

"Why shouldn't I come?"

The White-Scaled Giant Snake slowly lifted its head from the water, while observing the Ghost Gods wearing collars around their necks, it didn't forget to chat with Panhu.

"This Yunmeng Marsh has been shrouded in mist for years, even Ghost Gods find it difficult to peer into its mysteries…"

"Now that the Celestial Being has cleared away this mist, of course I have to come and see the spectacle of Yunmeng Marsh."

"Look at those Ghost Gods, behaving so honestly now, who would have thought they were so arrogant and rampant a few years ago?"

Upon hearing this, Panhu slightly furrowed his eyebrows.

Because he clearly saw that more than one Ghost God had already looked over.

Among them, the more short-tempered ones were glaring viciously at the White-Scaled Giant Snake.

"If you want to die, don't drag me with you, I don't want to be resented by those Ghost Gods."

Though he said so, Panhu wasn't worried at all that the Ghost Gods would really attack the fleet.

This was not only because the Ghost Gods were restrained, but also because he trusted the Prophet's decisions.

This fleet was loaded with large amounts of cement, steel bars, food, and various disaster relief supplies.

Only to ensure they could arrive at the south at the earliest opportunity to rescue the surviving mountain people.

If any Ghost God or Water God dared to attack this fleet, they would definitely regret it deeply.

"Hiss!"

Letting out a hiss, the White-Scaled Giant Snake clearly understood the calmness in Panhu's words.

"I don't believe you don't know what's happening in the south…"

"The water veins there have long been destroyed by the seawater, and there might even be uncivilized Sea Barbarian Gods lurking."

"As a pioneer, are you really confident you can retreat unscathed?"

Turning his head to stare at the White-Scaled Giant Snake for a long while, Panhu laughed freely and said.

"That's why my task is to repel the invaders."

"Then, like a steel nail, root firmly on the front line to repair the destroyed riverbanks."

"The Prophet doesn't intend to strike at the heart…"

"At least not until figuring out the root cause of this flood disaster, he prefers a steady recovery of the lost lands."

"I'm just the first batch of pioneers, there will be a second batch, a third batch…"

"Just like how the sea waves initially destroyed the South Shore."

"The 'tide of people' we form will keep coming wave after wave, until those 'sea waves' are completely beaten back."

In his eyes was an undeniable determination, the "sea waves" Panhu spoke of clearly did not only refer to the tides.

"More than that, you haven't told me yet why you are participating in this mission?"

Could it really be just to witness the true face of Yunmeng Marsh?

That reason, not only Panhu, but anyone else wouldn't believe it.

"Haha, I'm not as selfless as you, I'm here for the reward promised by the Celestial Being."

"I've already inquired with the Red Fish, the Celestial Being's rewards are not limited to mountain people's villages, deities like me, even spirit monsters are eligible."

Understanding the unspoken meaning, Panhu immediately realized.

"You're here for the Celestial Being's Cultivation Method?"

Panhu knew from a long time ago that the White-Scaled Giant Snake had been attempting the Celestial Being's Cultivation Method.

But with limited talent, it had only just touched the basics of the "Breathing Technique."

Not to mention the higher threshold "Perception Technique."

"No, I've already resigned myself…"

"What I want is a Divine Artifact, a Divine Artifact crafted for me by the Celestial Being."

A glimpse of undisguised desire flashed in its eyes, the White-Scaled Giant Snake had long reached its limits.

With clear self-awareness, it decided to abandon improving itself and turned to seek external power.

Obviously, the "Divine Artifact" promised by Li Boyang was one of the White-Scaled Giant Snake's goals.

Be it the Tai Chi Diagram, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, or even the God-Binding Rope on Feilai Peak…

These were powerful Divine Artifacts witnessed by all the gods living in the Hundred Lands Mountains.

The White-Scaled Giant Snake didn't aspire to obtain a Divine Artifact of the same level.

But even a specialized set like Er Tu's would satisfy the White-Scaled Giant Snake.

"Uh, this choice really does align with your character."

For once, after being tongue-tied for a long time, Panhu could only summarize it this way.
