I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 230, End of Volume: The River Chart and the Luo River Writing (33)

A week later, at the top of Feilai Peak.

"Still haven't found that scourge?"

Watching Li Boyang continuously throw out the Heavenly Fate Bone Armor, Xi Luo frowned, a rare occurrence for her.

Since learning "Nine Chapters on Divination Secrets," this was the first time Xi Luo had seen Li Boyang perform divination for so long without getting a concrete result.

"It's not that we didn't find it, but that every time we found it, we were a step behind."

Li Boyang explained, equally frustrated, that this was also the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Unlike Li Boyang, that calamity does not possess the ability to escape cause and effect.

But whenever Li Boyang wanted to divine the ominous situation and make a targeted arrangement,

As if sensing something, the scourge immediately changed its behavior and hiding place, becoming so shrewd that it was nothing like the arrogant fellow it had been before.

After further verification, Li Boyang quickly discovered the reason for the change in misfortune.

"That guy seems to have the ability to predict good and bad fortune?"

When Li Boyang said those words, Xi Luo's eyes widened in surprise.

"Has Huoji cultivated his primordial spirit?"

The ability to predict good or bad omens is one of the fundamental abilities for cultivating the primordial spirit.

Now that Xi Luo has cultivated her primordial spirit, she is well aware of how troublesome the "premonition supernatural power" is.

The question is, how did Huoji cultivate his primordial spirit?
"No, he did not cultivate the primordial spirit..."

Li Boyang gently tossed down the Destiny Bone Armor, giving a negative answer.

"The ability to predict good or bad fortune must be combined with the 'Nine Chapters of Divination'..."

"The abilities he is currently displaying are actually closer to your sister's divine powers of destiny."

Astral signs are merely intuition and premonition, an enhanced version of the sixth sense.

The situation where Li Boyang, who did nothing but make predictions and divinations, has already aroused alarm and misfortune, has exceeded the scope of his precognitive abilities.

"It's a pity that Eclipse Lord ran away a bit too fast, otherwise I reckon he would know something."

He recalled the time when Eclipse Lord had volunteered to deal with Calamity.

Li Boyang always felt that the guy was hiding a lot from him.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of information, Li Boyang still doesn't understand why he was so proactive back then.

Not to mention, figuring out exactly what's happening to Mokuki right now.

It can only be said that although the Heavenly Mandate Bone Armor and the "Nine Chapters of Divination Secrets" are legacies left by the Huaijiang witch, they are ultimately no match for the true "Heavenly Mandate Divine Power".

"Sigh, my sister has never told me any of these things either..."

Slowly wagging her tail, Xi Luo sighed dejectedly.

“If you hadn’t thrown the ‘Map of Mountains and Rivers’ into the Soul Cauldron, we might have been able to get some information out of Wuzhiqi.”

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang turned to look at the Soul Cauldron that was burning fiercely, but simply shook his head with a smile and no words.

As has been emphasized before, gods are not so easy to kill.

Even though Li Boyang had already shattered Wuzhiqi's physical body.

Given enough time, He can still be reborn in the Huai River.

Therefore, after Li Boyang used the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" to imprison Wuzhiqi's soul.

They then decided to emulate the creation of the Tai Chi symbol and upgrade it using the power of a deity.

Of course, this takes into account the power difference between Wuzhiqi and the Aoki clan.

Li Boyang became more cautious about upgrading the [Map of Mountains and Rivers], and even used the Prison Soul Cauldron for assistance.

"Stop thinking about those unnecessary things..."

"He is just a calamity; He doesn't dare to appear in the Hundred Mountains right now."

Having once again unleashed the Heavenly Mandate Bone Armor, Li Boyang is now more concerned with another issue—how to better manage this flood.

For the Bai Di Mountains today, both internal and external troubles have been completely eliminated.

How to completely resolve this flood disaster became the most pressing issue for Li Boyang.

After all, the mountains of Baidi are located in the lower reaches of the Huai River.

If we don't focus on managing the upper reaches of the Huai River, simply managing the hundreds of areas in the lower reaches will only be a case of diminishing returns.

"I wonder how things are going with the Red Carp..."

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

Beyond the Hundred Mountains, further north lies the Kingdom of Guifang.

This was originally a small country called "Baling Kingdom", where most of the inhabitants made a living by fishing, hunting, and agriculture.

However, the floods destroyed the farmland and river embankments here.

This place has become a swampy land covered in silt and flooded with water.

The people living in this area moved their homes to the highest points, but they were still powerless to stop the great flood from impacting their homes.

"Those damned water gods, they really won't give us a single chance to survive!"

"Shh, don't be so loud. Do you want our village to be flooded too?"

"When will this damn storm finally stop?!"

...As a half-human, half-god hybrid, Xuan Yu, a renowned sage of the Baling Kingdom, has heard countless complaints from the people along his journey.

But aside from looking worried and offering gentle words of comfort, Xuan Yu had no idea what else she could do.

Because his power can only ensure temporary peace in the area.

Once the black fish leaves that area, the rampant floods will once again engulf everyone's villages.

Just as he was about to reach the Kingdom of Guifang, he witnessed a scene that amazed him in a small village.

They clearly did not receive any divine or sacred protection.

Despite the torrential rains and floods, this small village painstakingly carved out a series of huge ditches and irrigation canals.

The floodwaters were diverted back into the original river.

Although it's somewhat of a drop in the ocean.

But as Xuan Yu looked at the windmills, waterwheels, and various ingenious waterway plans, a faint hope arose in his heart.

With its experience and knowledge, Xuan Yu was fully able to see the potential and uses of these water conservancy facilities.

If it can be utilized to its fullest potential, even if it cannot completely control the flood, it can greatly reduce the affected area and losses in the Kingdom of Baling.

(In the language of the fish with a human face) Are you the 'god' of this village?

Standing beside the small reservoir specially built by the villagers, Xuan Yu respectfully bowed to the human-faced fish inside.

As a naturally divine being who is proficient in the languages ​​of all kinds of fish.

Xuan Yu did not become arrogant like other innate deities because of the weakness of the human-faced fish.

On the contrary, when he learned that it was this human-faced fish that had guided the villagers in managing the waterways, building windmills and waterwheels, and using various water conservancy facilities to mitigate the flood, he had already made up his mind to ask the fish for advice.

"(Human-faced fish language) Ah! Finally, someone who can talk to me!"

"(In the language of the fish with a human face) I am not a god. My queen sent me to help these humans control the floods..."

"(Human-faced fish language) It's so great to have met someone I can talk to. It's been so long since I've spoken to someone of my own kind."

“(Human-faced fish language) If I had known that I was the only fish in this direction, I would have changed routes with Xiao Shi and the others.”

Perhaps because it hadn't interacted with anyone for a long time, this human-faced fish seemed unusually excited.

There was no need for the black fish to probe or ask questions; it had already started chattering incessantly, revealing all its secrets.

Thus, Xuanyu roughly figured out the origin of this human-faced fish.

According to this human-faced fish, it and its kind are under the command of a water god named "Red Carp".

The water god instructed them to travel upstream along the tributaries of the river system, to find the submerged human villages, and then teach them how to manage the floods.

How did these human-faced fish know how to control floods?
The human-faced fish also offered an explanation: each of them carried two books compiled by the "Great Master of Fate" before setting off.

Just as Xuan Yu was trying to understand the meaning of the word "Da Siming".

The human-faced fish had already come before him, carrying two scrolls that radiated a precious light.

"(Human-faced fish speaking) This scroll is called 'River Map,' and it can automatically record the tributaries of the waterways I have passed through..."

“(Human-faced fish language) I am different from Xiao Shi and the others. I am very serious and responsible. I have explored almost all the water veins of the nearby villages to make sure there are no omissions.”

As the human-faced fish spoke, it opened another book in the same way.

"(Human-faced Fish Language) This scroll is called 'Luoshu'. It records the methods for identifying and managing water veins, as well as some simple physical phenomena, mechanical principles and calculation formulas."

"(Human-faced fish language) If you think these are all too difficult, there are also ready-made methods for constructing water conservancy facilities and buildings."

“(Human-faced fish language) You can take the ‘Hetu’, but you have to return the ‘Luoshu’ to me after you’re done using it.”

“(Human-faced fish speaking) This is a treasure that the High Priest gave me. I’m going to keep it as a memento. Anyway, everyone does it this way.”

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yu stared in astonishment at the human-faced fish.

(In the language of the human-faced fish) You mean you're willing to give me these two treasures?

Upon hearing Xuan Yu's words, the human-faced fish naturally slapped the surface of the water.

“(Human-faced fish language) Of course, because you understand human language, it is much easier for you to communicate with them than for me.”

As the human-faced fish spoke, it also muttered in a completely undisguised voice.

(Human-faced fish-like language) Hmm, I don't think this counts as slacking off, do I?

"(In the language of the fish-faced human) Anyway, the Queen never said I couldn't let others do my work..."

For some reason, even though Xuan Yu achieved his goal effortlessly, he felt a strange mix of amusement and exasperation.

"The River Chart? The Luo River Writing?"

One is a treasure that can automatically record the direction of water veins.

The other item is a book that contains even more valuable knowledge.

Holding the two precious books in his hands, Xuan Yu was too lazy to even correct his mistaken belief that he was not a human-faced fish.

He simply gazed silently and with emotion at the human-faced fish that was already frolicking and leaping in the reservoir.

"The Red Carp and the Great Master of Fate must be very great gods!"

"I will not let you down. I will help the villagers here rebuild their homes."

"No, it's not just this village..."

"When the Kingdom of Baling is rebuilt, you will be the most revered gods of Baling!"
