I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 251 A Great Calamity is Approaching, Going Against the Heavens (33)

It's night, the moon and stars are sparse.

After seeing Li Jingshu and Lu Huaijin off, Li Boyang sat down on the altar at Ghost God Cliff again.

This altar gathers the power of many spirits and deities, and can help Li Boyang to share the burden of the voices from believers to the greatest extent possible.

In situations where it is impossible to actively block out those sounds.

Li Boyang had to sit on this altar for a long time to get a bit of peace.

In fact, this is also a major reason why Li Boyang has returned to the village less and less in recent years, gradually becoming a legend.

Especially recently, Li Boyang has no idea how many places the human-faced fish has gone to or how many statues it has erected for itself.

"If you ask me, you just like to make trouble for yourself."

It appeared silently and then found a comfortable place to lie down.

Xi Luo looked at Li Boyang in the center of the altar, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"That girl is a fragment of the Guhuoniao's soul. Now you're teaching her how to use the Heavenly Eye. Aren't you afraid she'll really become a menace in the end?"

"Or are you expecting her to deal with that Ubume that infiltrated the Hundred Mountains?"

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang looked at Xi Luo with some surprise.

"You actually predicted that Guhuoniao too?"

"Didn't you say you didn't like studying 'Nine Chapters of Divination'?"

It's no wonder Li Boyang was so surprised; the impression Xi Luo had left on him about being illiterate was too deep.

"Disliking something is one thing, but not being able to learn it is another."

"Now that I have cultivated my primordial spirit, it would be a waste not to practice the 'premonition supernatural power'."

"After all, I don't want to be kept in the dark by you forever, only to find out what really happened later."

When she said this, Xiluo's voice paused slightly.

"Moreover, ever since Lord Eclipse left the Hundred Lands Mountains..."

"There are very few people who can truly help you."

"Or do you think I'm the kind of guy who's willing to always hide behind you and obediently accept your protection?"

Hearing Xi Luo reveal her true feelings for the first time, Li Boyang fell silent.

He then realized how much the flood a few years ago had changed Xi Luo.

She no longer wanted to be like before, where she could only stand aside and watch silently when something truly important happened.

Or to be more precise, Xi Luo never wanted to relive the "Death of the Huaijiang Witch" from a thousand years ago.

"What else did you calculate?"

After a brief silence, Li Boyang felt a sense of foreboding.

"I've calculated a lot of things..."

"For example, you're waiting for that 'Witch King' of Great Xia."

"For example, that Guhuo bird will eventually come after Lu Huaijin..."

"You deliberately used Lu Huaijin as bait because you wanted to find out the truth about my sister's death through that Guhuoniao."

A slight smile appeared on her lips, and Xi Luo's eyes were now full of light, showing no trace of her usual laziness.

“I even calculated that you are trying to deal with an impending calamity…”

"It was a calamity more terrifying than the Great Flood, and even my primordial spirit had sensed its impending doom."

When I heard Xi Luo say that.

Li Boyang's pupils suddenly contracted, and his ominous feeling was instantly confirmed.

"Okay, I think I understand. There's no need to continue."

"Don't forget Wuzhiqi's ability to hear everything; some things, once spoken, will be overheard."

Completely unaware of Li Boyang's emotional change, Xi Luo simply flicked her tail and said.

"That's precisely why I'm saying this."

"I just want you to know that I, Xi Luo, have never been a burden to anyone..."

"Without me, you wouldn't even have been able to be safely born into this world."

With her gaze fixed intently on Li Boyang's eyes, Xi Luo laid her cards on the table.

I'm your support!

"It was true in the past, it is true now, and it will certainly be true in the future."

In a daze, Li Boyang seemed to see Xi Luo's half-human, half-beast primordial spirit form, and that calm smile that was exactly the same as the Huaijiang witch's.

"Looks like I need to change my plans..."

With a slightly helpless sigh, Li Boyang could only laugh and say, "After all, fate doesn't allow me to remain unscathed, so there's no point in going along with it."

“Sometimes, doing what you know to be impossible, seizing that sliver of hope, is the true essence of the ‘way of divination’.”

Xi Luo tilted her head blankly. She didn't actually understand what Li Boyang meant, but that didn't stop her from understanding his eyes.

"That's more like it! You can trust me unconditionally at any time!"

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

Almost at the same time that Li Boyang changed his mind and decided to defy fate.

Near a relatively large mountain village in the Baidi Mountains.

As soon as Yinfei arrived with the Flower Mantis, she suddenly widened her eyes, a strong sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

"This……"

This ominous feeling came too quickly and too suddenly.

Yinfei lost his balance and fell straight off the mantis's head.

Fortunately, the mantis reacted quickly, stretching out its arms to grab it.

This prevented Yinfei from falling to the ground and tumbling around in a sorry state.

"what happened to you?"

Frowning as it stared at the Hidden Flying Bird with its dilated pupils, the Flower Mantis could clearly hear its heartbeat pause for a moment.

"Damn it, someone's watching me!"

"No, it's not just me they're targeting; someone's targeting us!"

The pronunciation of the word "we" was deliberately emphasized.

Yinfei was clearly not referring to the mantis that was with her.

For the Ubume, who possesses the ability to foresee good and bad fortune, the symbolic meaning of that intense sense of foreboding transcends the death of a single individual.

Only the "Guhuoniao" group collectively faced a crisis of death.

Only then would someone as experienced as Yin Fei, who has lived for so many years, be qualified to express such a terrified tone.

Could it be Wu Yi?

Yin Fei's first thought was of the Great Xia Witch King.

But she immediately dismissed the idea.

Because that Great Xia Witch King was indeed powerful; even if all the Guhuoniao were combined, they would not be his match.

But what the Guhuoniao truly relies on is its immortal reincarnated soul.

Let alone the current Wu Yi.

Even if the first Witch King were to be resurrected, it would be impossible for him to kill all the Guhuoniao at once.

That was beyond Yinfei's common sense and understanding; it was something that was simply impossible to do.

"Wait... if it wasn't Wu Yi, then who else could it be?"

As if waking from a dream, Yin Fei suddenly thought of Li Boyang—of the other's "Dao of Heaven and Man".

It was a completely unknown path, a completely unknown force.

Yinfei had only taken a slight step onto this path, yet his understanding had already undergone a transformation.

If Li Boyang possesses a method to eliminate all the Guhuoniao at once...

Although Yin Fei also found it incredible, he did not think that the possibility was zero.

"After all... he was someone the Lord of the Underworld had reserved for him."

This was the first time Yin Fei had felt anxious, flustered, and even fearful since gaining the ability to reincarnate.

However, after a brief period of panic and fear...

Suddenly, a thought that shouldn't have popped into Yin Fei's mind.

Wait, why should I be afraid? Should I be afraid at all?

As this thought arose, Yin Fei's eyes suddenly became empty and he went mad.

[Does this fear come from the Ubume? Or from the Night-Wandering Woman?]

Who am I?!

The laws of Heaven and Man, only the laws of Heaven and Man... I must obtain the complete laws of Heaven and Man!

After making up his mind, Yin Fei's madness gradually subsided, but a hint of determination appeared in his eyes.

It seems we have to take some risks; we can't keep waiting like before.
