I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 276 Eight Hundred Miles of Yunmeng Marsh (11)

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since Wu Yi shot the sky.

Thanks to Li Boyang's protection, the mountains of Baidi were not ravaged by disasters like the outside world, and the mountain people once again ushered in a rare harvest.

"It's harvest season again."

Lazily wagging her tail, Xi Luo's voice broke the tranquility of the cliff top.

"what?"

Startled from his reverie, Li Boyang stared in astonishment at Xi Luo, who had suddenly spoken.

Ever since Wu Yi was immobilized by the "body-fixation spell" last time, Xi Luo has ignored Li Boyang for a long time.

Even with Li Jingshu mediating and persuading, Xi Luo firmly believed that Li Boyang underestimated her, which was why he didn't let her participate in that battle.

Although subsequent events proved that Li Boyang was right not to let Xi Luo participate in that battle.

"Uh, you're not angry anymore?"

After a brief silence, Li Boyang asked.

Actually, Li Boyang has tried to coax Xi Luo quite a bit in the past six months.

But cats are the kind of creatures that get more excited the more you coax them.

Furthermore, Li Boyang is not the kind of person who can ignore the facts, which is why this cold war has dragged on until now.

"Of course I'm angry!"

Rolling her eyes in annoyance, Xi Luo scratched her paw in slight frustration.

"But I'm not angry because you didn't let me join the war, I'm angry that you don't trust me at all!"

"Am I the kind of person who likes to make trouble unreasonably and wouldn't even know to hide if the sky were to fall?"

Xi Luo stood up and slowly walked to the altar where Li Boyang was, and asked.

"Ever since you displayed your might last time, we've been hearing more and more noise, haven't we?"

"I've noticed you've been sleeping much less lately. Are you having trouble sleeping at all?"

Although Xi Luo's expression was still sour, her concern in her words was genuine.

Although she had been brooding for half a year, Xi Luo had been keeping an eye on Li Boyang's situation.

Since the great battle six months ago, Li Boyang has been sleeping for shorter and shorter periods of time, sometimes staying on the altar all day without coming down.

Xi Luo naturally understood what was going on, and therefore became even more worried.

"Why don't we give up on that so-called 'golden elixir'?"

"Whether you're a celestial being or a god, being the 'God of Yunmengze' isn't so bad."

"After all, as long as the disasters outside continue, the 'eight hundred miles of Yunmeng Marsh' that you mentioned at the beginning is not impossible to achieve."

The strength of a deity's power is certainly not positively correlated with the size of its territory.

If Yunmengze can truly stretch for eight hundred miles in the future, the power of the God of Yunmengze will certainly not be weak.

"Yes, as long as the disasters outside continue, these Hundred Mountains will be affected sooner or later..."

The current situation is somewhat similar to the situation when Wuzhiqi instigated the flood, but it is also more complicated.

Apart from a very few exceptions like the Great Xia and the Hundred Mountains, disasters frequently occurred in various places due to the chaos of the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

According to Li Boyang's observations during this period.

Those mountain torrents, earthquakes, and floods are considered relatively minor disasters.

The real calamity comes from beyond the nine provinces, from that boundless ocean.

Seawater is flowing inland...

The coastal boundary is being eroded and swallowed up little by little...

This directly led to the flooding of river tributaries again, and the floods in various places once again returned to the peak of the floods four or five years ago.

Most importantly, this flood did not involve any water gods or river gods taking advantage of the situation.

It was a purely natural disaster caused simply because the trend of seawater intrusion was so terrifying. In other words, ordinary methods of water management, such as building water conservancy projects and reservoirs, were no longer effective.

Even if Li Boyang tried every means to expand Yunmengze to eight hundred li, it would still be impossible to contain the ever-growing floodwaters.

Moreover, the consequences of seawater intrusion are not limited to just flooding.

Agricultural and fishery crop failures, groundwater pollution, soil salinization, coastline shrinkage, and even the transformation of seas into land are all possible scenarios...

"I wonder if Wu Yi regrets what he did."

Hearing Li Boyang's sigh, Xi Luo rolled her eyes again, as if it were a familiar gesture.

"I think that madman will definitely not regret it, since he doesn't consider people outside of Great Xia as his own kind at all."

Xi Luo was telling the truth; Wu Yi kept saying that the gods treated humans like livestock.

But how could he, who insisted on provoking this catastrophe, ever consider those outside of the Great Xia as his own kind?
"Speaking of which, is that guy dead or alive now?"

“I have a bad feeling about leaving that guy’s body here on Feilai Peak.”

"What if he's not completely dead? Wouldn't my Flying Peak be doomed again?"

Looking at Xi Luo's worried face, Li Boyang smiled, a rare occurrence for him.

"Don't worry about that. Even if Wu Yi isn't dead now, he certainly won't have the energy to pay attention to such a trivial matter."

As he said this, Li Boyang unconsciously touched his brow.

That fleeting glimpse six months ago made Li Boyang realize just how deep the waters of this world truly are.

Apart from those great gods who have existed since time immemorial.

There are many more beings that, though dead, still linger in this world.

If it weren't for the Netherworld Lord successfully intimidating those ferocious beings at the last moment...

Li Boyang even wondered if he had already gone to the underworld to become a "reincarnation of Yama".

What exactly did you see at that time?

Noticing Li Boyang's actions, Xi Luo frowned and asked.

Unlike Li Boyang, Xi Luo's understanding of this world is very simple.

Besides the Hundred Mountains, there are at most the Ghost Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom, and a few other nearby kingdoms.

Even his understanding of the Great Xia Dynasty was corrected only after he came into contact with Xiao Yue and Wu Yi.

"What I saw at that time is no longer important; what is important is that Wu Yi had already overturned the table."

Under Xi Luo's slightly bewildered gaze, Li Boyang continued to explain.

"In fact, we can see this from the disasters happening in the outside world right now..."

"Even if those guys I saw back then hadn't been killed by Wu Yi, their current situation would definitely not be much better than Wu Yi's."

Li Boyang's remarks were not speculation, but a statement of facts.

Wu Yi was willing to risk his own life just to end the era of the gods.

It's easy to imagine that those ancient beings that are dead but not yet dead are definitely one of Wu Yi's targets.

"At least it's not the worst-case scenario yet..."

"The Hundred Mountains, which still maintain their balance of vital energy, are like a stabilizing force, accelerating the reconstruction of the order of the vital energy of heaven and earth."

Thinking of this, Li Boyang couldn't help but sigh again.

Wu Yi's obsession and madness are indeed as Yin Fei described, yet one cannot help but admire his action and determination.

From a human perspective, Wu Yi is definitely the kind of ruthless character who is righteous to the point of being evil.

The only pity is that only the Zhuxia Federation and a very small number of gifted individuals can be recognized as "human" by Wu Yi.
