I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 146 Human-God Hybrid (33)

"The chosen priest of the Aoki clan?"

Li Boyang was certainly aware of the concept of "Chosen Priest".

If Li Boyang were willing to become Xi Luo's priest, he would also be called the "Chosen Priest".

The so-called "chosen one" actually refers to someone who is born divine.

As beings blessed by the primordial energy of heaven and earth, the naturally divine beings are widely present among all races and creatures, and are powerful beings who are born with extraordinary abilities.

However, compared to those wild and unintelligent spirits and monsters...

Human beings born with divine qualities are easily chosen by the gods they worship due to their wisdom and faith, and then receive specialized training and instruction.

This is the biggest difference between a "chosen priest" and an "ordinary priest".

Considering the gods of this world, it seems they can, to some extent, ignore the phenomenon of reproductive isolation.

Therefore, a significant portion of those born as deities and chosen by the gods are actually hybrid offspring of gods and humans, beings who are born with divine power.

This is also based on the relationship between Li Boyang and Xi Luo.

One can imagine just how close the connection was between these chosen priests and the gods they worshipped.

"For more specific details, you can ask this guy."

As Suspended Silk Maiden spoke, she suddenly tugged at her own spider silk.

"what!"

Caught off guard, his head rolled several times and landed in front of Li Boyang.

Unlike Suspended Silk, who knew the truth.

The head looked at the blue-faced, fanged Buddha image before it, and its teeth chattered with fear.

The Dharma image that gathers and manifests evil energy naturally possesses a terrifying deterrent power.

Although the head was endowed with the attribute of "immortality" by the Qingfu, its mind was ultimately just that of a mortal.

"what?"

Looking at the head with slight surprise, Li Boyang quickly realized the problem.

In a flash, he transformed from a grotesque figure with a blue face and fangs into a young boy.

Although it was still completely black and its facial features were not clearly visible, at least it looked like a human.

"This is... the spoils of war you stole from that priest?"

After a brief assessment, Li Boyang could only refer to the head as a "trophy."

What can you tell me?

Li Boyang gently waved his hand, and the head flew to a position at his height.

From this angle, Li Boyang could clearly see the tragic state of the head.

The flesh was rotten, and the pale bones were faintly visible...

However, the head remained lively and active, as if it had no concept of "death" at all.

"Ahem... Great... um... what would you like to know?"

He coughed twice with difficulty.

The head's eyes darted around rapidly, yet its tone remained unusually humble.

Having survived several brushes with death, their heads naturally discern who the king and queen are.

Unfortunately, Li Boyang was not satisfied with this.

"You have a thin frame but a fleshy jaw, which is typical of someone who is afraid of death and opportunistic."

"And with your prominent cheekbones and pointed, monkey-like face, you're either a sharp-tongued person or someone who's always gossiping..."

"I usually have absolutely no trust in people like you."

This is the art of judging people taught in "Nine Chapters on Divination".

Although Li Boyang felt there was some stereotype involved, it was perfectly appropriate to apply it to this head.

"Let's start by explaining your background..."

"You know I can tell if you're lying to me, and you don't want to know the consequences of deceiving me."

As he spoke these words, the Dharma Image's face changed again, revealing an even more ferocious Nuo God mask.

Under the dual threat of Li Boyang and Xuan Sigu.

The head dared not conceal anything and honestly confessed its identity and experience.

The head's real name was "Muchuan". He was born into a tribe that made a living by herding livestock and was skilled at delivering babies and treating diseases for various animals.

However, when the Gui Rong clan's army pressed in.

Mu Chuan, who was herding livestock outside, was forced to lead the way for them, which resulted in the death, injury, or enslavement of his own people.

Because of this experience, Mu Chuan no longer has any trust in outsiders.

Even though Xiao'e and the villagers of Gaocun Town showed enough goodwill.

Feeling insecure, Mu Chuan still chose to incite the mountain people to seize grain and flee.

This led to his tragic end, where he escaped from Yixiantian, only to be devoured by the inhabitants of Guifang Kingdom.

If it weren't for the young Qingfu's curiosity about him and its use of witchcraft to prolong his life, Mu Chuan would never have survived to this day.

Even so, Mu Chuan, who was kept in a jar for many years, was merely a toy of Qing Fu.

If I remember, I'll go and chat with him; if I don't, I'll just leave him in the dark, sunless dungeon...

It's no exaggeration to say that Mu Chuan's status in Qing Fu's eyes is even lower than that of a potted plant.

At the very least, the potted Qingfu can still see sunlight and needs to be fertilized and watered every day.

Just a few days ago, Qingfu suddenly appeared in front of Muchuan looking disheveled, and then without hesitation, took him away from Guifang Kingdom.

Mu Chuan then realized that something had happened to Qing Fu... or rather, to the Qing Mu clan.

Qingfu fled with the divine oracle of the Qingmu clan, her goal being to find the legendary "deceitful one".

"A fraudster?"

When Mu Chuan got to this point, Li Boyang couldn't help but interrupt him.

Who is the fraudster?

"And why did you come to these Hundred Mountains?"

The Hundred Mountains are a forbidden zone of the Ghost Fang Kingdom, and this ban was personally issued by the Five Gods.

But now, the Aoki clan has personally violated this prohibition, sending their priests to the Hundred Mountains.

It's obvious without even thinking that there's something fishy going on.

"The fraudster is a legend..."

"A legend that circulates only among the priests of the Ghost Fang Kingdom."

To be fair, while Mu Chuan's character isn't great, his ability to steal information is truly outstanding.

Based on just a few words from Qingfu, he could roughly guess the identity of the "fraudster".

"Although the Five Gods are all deities of the Ghost Kingdom, they are objects of mortal priesthood."

"But even among the five gods, there are differences in their strengths and weaknesses..."

"The Houtian clan, as the original five directional gods, is the ancestor of the Guifang Kingdom and also the god closest to the Guifang Kingdom."

"In most cases, as long as the priests of the Guifang Kingdom are willing to perform sacrifices, they will receive a response from the Houtian Clan."

"Corresponding to this is the Hijikata clan, who were only elevated to the position of one of the Five Gods thirty years ago..."

"Although the Hijikata clan was enshrined as gods, they always maintained their status as defeated and restrained."

"Only as a last resort would the Kingdom of Guifang spend a huge amount of money to forcibly drive the Hijikata clan and make them unleash the power that should be possessed by demons and gods."

"However, as a bound spirit, Hijikata would certainly not allow himself to be controlled by a group of mortals."

"And so the 'fraudster' was born..."

"It might be a hybrid of human and god, a descendant of the Hijikata Kingdom, or perhaps just an unlucky fellow with a bit of good fortune..."

"But it was indeed recognized by the Hijikata clan, and was the only priest personally appointed by that spirit."
