I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 206 The Sun God - The Bird of Spring (33)

Deep in the mountains of Baidi, a forbidden zone that Li Boyang had never set foot in before.

"I thought you guys would play dumb again, just like before?"

Bathed in the long-awaited sunshine, Li Boyang stood with his arms outstretched, riding on auspicious clouds, and traveled with Xi Luo between the blue sky and white clouds.

Beside them, a kingfisher's face revealed a human-like helplessness.

"It's not that I'm pretending to be stupid, it's that I don't have the ability."

"This flood was not just caused by Wuzhiqi."

"It is also a cycle of natural operation, a manifestation of the will of heaven and earth."

"It truly originated from the ruins of Kunlun, a backlash from the Great Xia gods' wanton alteration of the mountains and rivers. Our Hundred Lands and Mountains were merely collateral damage."

Looking at Li Boyang, who was listening attentively, and Xi Luo, who looked completely indifferent, Kingfisher emphasized again.

"You've been 'making clouds and rain' for several months now, you should have noticed by now, right?"

"Your previous actions seemed to have prevented the flood from coming..."

"But in reality, it only exacerbates the accumulation of floods and the birth of a scourge."

“Once that calamity is allowed to carve through the mountains, the disaster you have prevented will sweep across this land with ten times the force.”

"At that time, the creatures living on this land will truly have no way to survive."

Li Boyang did heed the kingfisher's warning, but only half of it.

“I naturally understand the principle that ‘it’s better to guide than to block.’”

"But if things weren't 'blocked' to this extent, why would you take action?"

With a smile, Li Boyang glanced at the kingfisher and said confidently, as if he had expected it.

"This is a flood that has swept across the entire mountainous region, a survival crisis in which all living beings are struggling to survive."

"While we mountain people are working hard at the front, you gods are hiding behind and reaping the benefits. Isn't that a bit too wishful thinking?"

Before the kingfisher could refute him, Li Boyang continued.

"I can ignore your hiding of those ghosts and spirits..."

"But in return, you cannot stand idly by in this flood; you must do your part."

Upon hearing Li Boyang's words, the kingfisher suddenly looked enlightened.

It seems that this prophet, skilled in divination, had foreseen this situation and was deliberately forcing him to take action.

The original words of persuasion immediately fell silent, replaced by a speechless awkwardness.

“You are different from Wu Yao. You are much smarter than her, and your killing intent is much stronger than hers…”

"Besides, Grandma wasn't actually as powerful as you all imagine. She just lived long enough and saw enough."

With a slight smile playing on his lips, Li Boyang briefly translated the kingfisher's words.

"Yes, I admit that I am indeed a little harder to control than that Huaijiang witch."

“You’re not even sure if the mountain people are my weakness, so this is a good opportunity to see what I can do for them.”

"As for that immortal Spring God?"

"Of course I don't have any outdated ideas about 'the older the better'."

"But think about it carefully, the immortal Spring God has been able to live for so long. If you say that He doesn't have some trump cards, do you think anyone would believe it?"

As he said this, Li Boyang deliberately glanced at Xi Luo beside him.

As a result, this shrewd fellow pretended to be confused and acted as if he hadn't heard Li Boyang and Kingfisher's sharp exchanges.

"Like this time, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe that a kingfisher could actually have the ability to 'revive all things'?"

Looking up at the sunlight shining through the clouds, Li Boyang's eyes were filled with amazement.

Before today, he could never have imagined that this kingfisher, which had always appeared as the "immortal messenger of spring," was actually a true "sun god"?
Li Boyang even suspected that this "Sun God" might be a trump card cultivated by the Immortal Spring God, specifically designed to target the Eclipse Lord.

However, it was precisely because of its sudden emergence that this kingfisher ultimately had no use for its skills.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

The confrontation continued throughout.

Li Boyang and his two companions soon arrived at the true core area of ​​the Hundred Mountains.

Surprisingly, in this core area surrounded by hundreds of mountain peaks, there is not a single mountain in the true sense.

This is a vast mountainous plain, where all kinds of plants and trees compete for beauty and bloom in competition.

However, as Li Boyang opened his third third eye between his eyebrows...

He was shocked to discover that those plants and trees vying for attention did not actually grow in the soil.

Or to be more precise, this so-called "mountainous plain" is not a real plain at all.

The core area is actually a tree of unimaginable size.

His roots spread across the entire earth, and all the trees in sight were merely branches and parasites of this great tree.

"This is... the Immortal Spring God?"

All three eyes widened to their maximum size simultaneously.

Immersed in this mythical life that only existed in the mythological era, Li Boyang was unable to recover from the shock for a long time.

The area within a radius of hundreds of kilometers is entirely composed of derivatives of a single large tree.

All plants and animals depend on this big tree for survival.

Most remarkably, its roots even spread beyond this core area, drawing nutrients from the soil of the entire Hundred Mountains.

It is precisely because of the nature of this region that it is actually a living mythical life.

Therefore, regardless of how Li Boyang had previously performed divination and searched.

His divine eye was never able to penetrate this area or pinpoint the true form of the immortal Spring God.

As the saying goes, "You can't see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in the mountain itself."

It draws nourishment from a region with its own strength, and then uses its own body to support a complete ecosystem.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have thought that such an extraordinary life form could be born in this world?
"So those roots that appeared back then weren't some kind of innate supernatural power at all..."

"They are part of this Spring God, the Spring God's true form hidden deep underground, even deeper than the earth's veins."

Reaching out to touch his third eye between his eyebrows, Li Boyang couldn't help but mutter to himself.

His third eye has undergone numerous evolutions.

It already possesses some of the functions of clairvoyance, X-ray vision, dynamic vision, insightful vision, and even replication vision.

However, it lacks the ability to be immune to various complex interferences of vital energy and to directly understand the essence of things.

The complex flow of primordial energy deep within the earth, as well as the flow of primordial energy within living organisms, can interfere with the Heavenly Eye's ability to perceive.

This is why Li Boyang was unable to find the roots of the Spring God buried beneath the earth, nor could he penetrate the core area that was originally composed of a giant mythical life form.

Of course, part of the reason is that Li Boyang never imagined that the "land" he had been treading on was actually the immortal Spring God he was looking for.

In the absence of a macro perspective, it is perfectly normal to see only a part of the whole or to be like the blind men and the elephant.

It seems I still need to change my preconceived notions...

This world is far more wondrous than I imagined.
