I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 170 The Death of the Huaijiang Witch (33)

The path through the Ghost God Cliff Cave isn't very long.

Before long, Gui Rongshi had traversed the winding path and arrived at the end of the Ghost God Cliff Cave.

"You seem to have quite a bit of free time..."

The first thing Gui Rong noticed was not the large black dog chained up, but the rock pool next to him that Li Boyang was using as an "experimental field".

Tick-tock... tick-tock... tick-tock...

The mountain spring water dripped down the stalactites into the rock pool, becoming the only source of sound in this dark space.

Already abandoned rice stalks grow along the rocky pool, tangled and resembling weeds.

Since the female barbarian was reborn, Li Boyang had already handed over the task of breeding superior breeds to her.

Nowadays, apart from occasionally coming to the Ghost God Cliff Cave to discuss cultivation methods with the big black dog, Li Boyang has basically given up on this rock pool.

After all, this cave was a dark and gloomy place, and the big black dog wasn't a professional spring god.

Entrusting the task of breeding superior varieties to the female barbarians was not only legitimate, but also saved Li Boyang a lot of energy.

At the very least, Li Boyang can now focus more of his energy on other things and no longer has to worry about cultivating superior seeds for the coming year.

Whether I have the time or not is none of your business. I just want to know what you want from me.

Pulling on its chains, the big black dog stood up warily.

For some reason, the big black dog sensed a familiar aura emanating from Gui Rong.

This made the big black dog suspicious.

Could the other person be related to the memory I lost?

However, based on their previous conversations, Gui Rongshi seemed to deny the possibility that the two sides had met.
Most importantly, the black dog's spirit kept warning him—the other party was definitely up to no good!
In fact, this is why the big black dog was willing to leave its body and manifest its yin spirit in order to test the other party's background in advance.

"Wu Yao is so good to you, so good that I can't help but feel jealous."

His face suddenly contorted, and his voice became unusually excited...

Gui Rong stared intently at the large black dog opposite him, his almost tangible malice chilling to the bone.

"who are you!?"

The black dog's pupils contracted instinctively as it once again felt the pulse emanating from the primordial spirit.

This time, however, the primordial spirit conveyed not only signs of danger, but also a kind of resonance that felt like that of two souls connected.
"what?"

Seemingly sharing the same feeling, Gui Rong suddenly let out a surprised exclamation.

"When did you acquire so many strange and wonderful abilities?"

Whether it was the manifested spirit of the past or this keen precognitive ability now...

Gui Rongshi never expected that this big black dog, which had been imprisoned at Guishen Cliff for over a thousand years, would display so many abilities that were beyond his expectations.

"Is it that red-haired demon?"

A flicker of realization crossed Gui Rongshi's eyes; he felt he knew the answer.

In fact, before the Houtian clan went silent, the Guirong clan had been keeping a close eye on and monitoring any movement at Guishen Cliff.

This is why Houtianshi immediately called Li Boyang "Red-haired Devil".

As a descendant of the Huaijiang witch, she was accepted by the mountain god of Yunmeng Mountain and even moved into the mountain god temple on Feilai Peak...

Li Boyang has always received a lot of attention from the Five Gods.

"I never expected that the red-haired demon would be willing to teach you all his skills!"

Only now did Gui Rongshi finally understand why he felt so familiar when he saw the Yin spirit of the big black dog.

Because that was clearly a simplified version of the red-haired demon's "god form".

As for that keen precognitive ability?
In retrospect, it is clearly a simplified version of the "divine powers of destiny" of the Huaijiang witches.

"What exactly is going on!?"

The big black dog was completely dumbfounded.

He could clearly sense that the Gui Rong clan was sharing his abilities.

No wonder the opponent defeated his Yin spirit so easily before.

So, your trump cards are completely transparent to the other side?
"Do you remember how the Huaijiang witch died?" Gui Rongshi didn't directly answer the big black dog's question, but suddenly changed the subject and asked.

“A thousand years ago, the Huaijiang witch led her tribe across the Central Plains to this barren land to cultivate and farm.”

"But at that time, the mountains of the Hundred Lands were full of barbarian gods and wild gods, who could not tolerate some mortals building large-scale construction projects on their territory."

"Thus, the Huaijiang witch began a decades-long battle with these barbarian gods and wild spirits."

Without giving the big black dog any time to answer, Gui Rongshi continued, answering his own question.

"In this process, the Huaijiang witches subdued, suppressed, and sealed away many ghosts and gods..."

"But there was also a ghost who was attracted by her charm and took the initiative to join her camp, willing to fight for her."

"That demon was known as the 'Erosion Lord,' possessing the ability to devour the sun and moon, and was the most powerful deity in the Hundred Mountains at that time."

"With His help, the Huaijiang witch finally built this Ghost God Cliff and sealed all those barbarian gods and wild gods here."

Upon hearing this, the big black dog's expression changed from bewilderment to anger.

"What do you want to say?"

"Are you accusing me?"

Still ignoring the big black dog, Gui Rongshi simply sighed deeply.

"Unfortunately, although the Huaijiang witch possessed the power to reach the heavens and earth and defy fate, she was particularly accommodating to humans."

"Especially her own people, the Huaijiang witch can be said to grant their every request and rarely refuse their requests."

"Such one-sided pampering naturally leads to predictable results..."

"When the witch could not fill the desires and chasms in people's hearts, the backlash came as expected."

Its eyes were bloodshot with anger, and the big black dog barked fiercely.

"Shut up! You're asking for it!"

It was as if it were confirming his own words.

The entire Flying Peak trembled with the great black dog's rage.

Wow…

The chains were taut, and every muscle in his body swelled and bulged.

The large black dog, its eyes blazing with fury, tried to pounce on Gui Rongshi, but was unable to actually reach him due to the chains binding it.

Rumble…

As a result, fragments of stalactites in the cave began to fall, and the ground beneath our feet began to tremble.

When this pulling force reached outside the cave, it successfully caused the entire Feilai Peak to shake.

The seal, already damaged by Youzhong's actions, now appeared to be on the verge of collapse.

Rumble…

They stood firmly in the swaying cave.

Gui Rongshi was not moved by the intimidation of the big black dog; instead, a trace of sadness was revealed on her face.

"Human desires are never satisfied..."

"Especially when a once-in-a-century drought strikes, they will do anything to survive."

“Even sharing food with the ‘shaman’ who led them to where they are today is a matter of course.”

"Just like when prayers and sacrifices fail to achieve the desired result..."

"Humans will then overturn the idols that they once placed on altars."

"This is the essence of mountain people, the essence of humanity: a species that fears power but does not cherish virtue, a species whose selfishness outweighs everything else."

"Whether it's a shaman or a god..."

"When they need you, they will be more devout and humble than any other creature."

"But once you can't meet their needs, you yourself become part of their 'recipe'."
