I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 334 The Great Xia Divine Witch (23)

"Great Xia's Divine Shaman, your personal visit to the Hundred Mountains must have been for more than just to tell me these things, right?"

Li Boyang raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to stare intently at Wu Xian.

From the perspective of the Heavenly Eye, Li Boyang could clearly see that beneath that seemingly aged body lay an endless and terrifying vitality.

If we convert vitality into a specific numerical value.

If Li Boyang's current body has a life force of ten, then Wu Xian's life force is one hundred.

Even more absurdly, normal organisms experience a gradual decline in vitality after reaching their prime.

Even Li Boyang, who pioneered the Way of Heaven and Man, could only do so much to allow the vital energy to circulate within his body, preserving the vitality of his physical form to the greatest extent possible.

In other words, Li Boyang's life force will also be depleted.

But Wu Xian's situation is different now. His life force is also being consumed, yet it is being replenished at all times.

This situation, which completely defies common sense, is enough to show that Wu Xian may indeed have eaten the immortal herb, which is why he possesses such a vast yet ever-renewing vitality.

"Of course not, I should have come to see you a long time ago."

“I was already here when you blocked the eye of the South China Sea and restored life to this land.”

"But the prosperity of these mountains and rivers caught my eye, and the vitality shown by the people of these mountains and rivers shocked me even more."

Upon hearing Wu Xian's words, Li Boyang's eyes widened in surprise.

According to Li Boyang's divination, Wu Xian had clearly only been in the Hundred Mountains for a short time.

But judging from the implication in the other party's words, he had actually come to the Hundred Mountains a year ago and had been observing the various beings in the Hundred Mountains ever since.

"Don't be so surprised. I've lived for quite a long time, so I naturally have some knowledge of divination."

With a smile on his face, Wu Xian shook his head, his tone as calm as if he were talking about what he had eaten yesterday.

"If we really trace it back to the source, I can barely be considered half of Wu Yao's master."

"She believed that the coexistence of humans and gods should not be the model of the Great Xia Dynasty..."

"So a thousand years ago she chose to leave the Great Xia and bring her people to settle down in these mountains of the Hundred Lands."

"I originally thought Wu Yao had failed."

"But in you, I seem to see the possibility of success again."

Listening to Wu Xian's account, Li Boyang finally understood what it meant to be cunning and shrewd.

Instead of revealing how he avoided the divination of the Heavenly Fate Bone Armor, his few words were an attempt to further strengthen the relationship between the two parties.

Fortunately, Li Boyang was not fooled by this and his gaze toward Wu Xian became increasingly wary.

"do you know?"

"In all my years of life and travels, this is the first time I have ever seen humans and all living beings coexisting in such harmony."

“They are clearly different in appearance, ability, and survival needs, some even completely opposite…”

"This may include even the gods; they all silently adhere to a common...bottom line?"

"You seem to call that kind of bottom line 'universal morality'?"

Ignoring Li Boyang's wary gaze, Wu Xian spoke while lost in his memories.

"The Great Dao endures forever. Before the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, all living beings are but ants, without distinction of high or low, noble or base."

"Life and death are matters of great importance, and taking a life through violence is an even greater sin."

"Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. Before doing anything, consider whether you could accept the same thing happening to you." "All living things are born into this world as part of destiny."

"Whether it is sentient beings or gods, if they cannot find a 'destiny' worth fighting for their whole lives, they have only come to this world in vain."

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

Unlike Wu Yi's cursory observation, which only scratched the surface, this approach was different.

Like Yin Fei, Wu Xian ventured deep into the myriad beings of the Hundred Lands Mountains, experiencing firsthand life under the rule of the gods.

Although their purposes are different, they arrive at the same result.

The mountain people used a specially made version of "Breath Soil" to connect areas that were originally separated by mountains without damaging the environment of the Hundred Mountains.

This connection extends beyond just the villages of mountain dwellers; it also encompasses the living environments of spirits and wild beasts.

You should know that the Hundred Mountains are truly treacherous places.

It's not just the mountain people who face hardship; wild creatures also struggle to survive.

However, those special types of "breathing soil" have the function of stabilizing the soil and improving the environment, which is beneficial to the reproduction and survival of life in many ways.

To use a perhaps inappropriate analogy.

If we consider the hundred mountains and valleys before the descent of the celestial beings as barren and desolate places.

Therefore, the mountains and rivers after the descent of the celestial beings became true ecological nature reserves.

Not to mention, as more and more mountain villages mastered domestication techniques, they also began to actively seek out and breed various animals.

Wu Xian does not deny the pragmatism of the mountain people.

The animals that they could tame were more or less helpful to the mountain people.

From poultry used for meat to cattle and sheep used for production assistance.

However, it is undeniable that this domestication practice by the mountain people has indeed allowed many animals that should have died or even become extinct to survive.

Especially in this mythical era, the complexity of the ecosystem far exceeds that of Earth in Li Boyang's previous life.

Hybridization mutation, atavism, reproductive isolation, plus active intervention from the gods...

This has directly resulted in an exceptionally diverse range of life forms in the world, with differences between individuals that are beyond imagination.

Let alone the unique individuals resulting from the combination of different species.

Even among the same species, various reasons can give rise to innate deities that are completely different from their kind.

Regardless of individual strength or weakness, these exceptional individuals or those born with divine abilities generally possess intelligence that surpasses that of their peers.

Therefore, in the minds of the mountain people, regardless of the original race of these special individuals or innate deities, they would all assume that they were intelligent beings equal to themselves.

According to Wu Xian's observations, the mountain people treated ordinary wild animals and intelligent individuals very differently.

When dealing with ordinary wild animals, the mountain people use the most primitive laws of the forest.

However, for those individuals with special intelligence, the mountain people are more accustomed to treating them as equals with whom they can communicate.

Some mountain dwellers who were deeply influenced by Li Boyang would take the initiative to persuade and help those intelligent individuals to get rid of their most primitive wild animal habits.

This is how the prosperous scene of harmonious coexistence among hundreds of places, mountains, and all living beings has been created.
