I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 389 Flying Village

"I think compared to Kunlun Return to Ruins..."

"As expected, the Great Xia's 'Undying Cauldron' is still safer."

Standing on Li Boyang's shoulder, preening her wings, Xi Luo was becoming more and more familiar with her current form.

"After all, no one knows exactly where the Kunlun Ruins are..."

"On the contrary, the Great Xia's 'Undying Cauldron' is only needed if we find the escaped Wu Peng."

Xi Luo admitted that her suggestion was partly based on personal grudges.

Who would have thought that Wu Peng, with his Dao heart shattered, would still be able to escape from the heavily guarded Feilai Peak?

This is not only an insult, but also a slap in the face to Xi Luo, the mountain god of Feilai Peak.

"That's the theory, but reality is a bit different."

Li Boyang naturally saw through Xi Luo's little scheme, but he just smiled dismissively.

"Don't forget, the Eclipse Lord has lost contact with us ever since he entered that Ruins of Return."

Li Boyang not only knew about Shi Tianjun's secret following of E Tu, but also tacitly approved of it.

Under those circumstances, when Shi Tianjun followed E Tu in chasing down Huo Ji, he was essentially acting as E Tu's bodyguard.

What Li Boyang never expected was...

In the end, the Eclipse Lord, in order to retrieve the soul of the Huaijiang Witch from the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, Gouxing, actually chased her into the Ruins of Return.

At this point, the Eclipse Lord was completely cut off from the outside world.

Even with Li Boyang's divination skills, he could only predict an outcome that was neither good nor bad.

"Even if it's just to find him, we'll have to go to Kunlun Guixu sooner or later."

"Besides, I've already divined beforehand that besides the Immortal Grass, there might be some unexpected surprises on our trip to the Ruins of Return."

At this point, Li Boyang paused slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Just from his expression, one could tell that the "unexpected joy" Li Boyang spoke of was not simple—it was an expression of careful planning and foresight.

"Even if we take a step back and say that it's the legendary 'Capital of the Heavenly Emperor,' aren't you curious about what it's like inside?"

With just a glance at Li Boyang, Xi Luo understood.

"You went there just for that 'surprise,' right?"

"That's why I hate you so-called prophets who like to keep everything to yourself."

Having spent so many years with Li Boyang, Xi Luo knew him inside and out.

Due to his personality, coupled with his mastery of the "Nine Chapters of Divination Secrets" and the Heavenly Mandate Bone Armor, there are very few things in this world that can be hidden from Li Boyang.

This means that once he has truly made up his mind...

That means that this matter is "inevitable" for Li Boyang, and no one can stop it.

"Hehe, I don't deny that."

With a rare, mischievous smile, Li Boyang countered with a question.

"You still haven't answered my question! Aren't you curious?"

"Your sister's remnant soul... is very likely also in the Heavenly Emperor's Capital."

She blinked gently, and Xi Luo revealed a very rare, deep expression.

"I know what you mean."

"But I accepted the fact that my sister is dead a long time ago."

With a gentle stretch of her wings, Xi Luo patted Li Boyang's head, a fleeting hint of sadness crossing her face.

“I’m not like that stupid dog; I respect my sister’s choice.”

"Whether she was eaten by her own people or was tricked by the Guhuoniao, her death was ultimately her own choice..."

“I don’t understand any complicated principles, nor can I comprehend those grand ambitions you speak of.” “All I know is that even if that stupid dog manages to piece together my sister’s remnant soul in the end, she will no longer be my sister.”

This was the first time Xi Luo had shown such a mature side, and even Li Boyang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

However, upon closer reflection, this seems to be the attitude and behavior that a mountain god who has lived for over a thousand years and witnessed birth, aging, sickness, and death should have.

"More than anything, I'm curious about what you're actually looking for right now."

"Kunlun Guixu is the Heavenly Emperor's secret realm. What means do you have to enter it?"

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

Feitianzhai is a very special village near the Baidi Mountains.

Unlike other villages that are mostly located in flat areas, Feitianzhai is a village built in a mountain valley.

The terrain is surrounded by water on all sides, with no roads or flat paths.

Only a single grappling hook connects the cliff face to the main cliff, serving as the only means of transportation for the mountain people.

Before Li Boyang was born, Feitianzhai had relied on this unique structure to resist many natural and man-made disasters, becoming one of the few mountain strongholds in the Baidi Mountains that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

This means that Feitianzhai possesses a complete knowledge inheritance system.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of inheritance that Feitianzhai became one of the very few villages that did not have time to keep up with the times after Li Boyang was born.

The old-fashioned man refused to accept new things, and even more so, he did not acknowledge the prestige of the red-haired demon.

In the eyes of the elders in the village, the so-called "celestial being" was nothing more than another powerful ghost or god.

For the previous thousand years, the Hundred Mountains were not lacking in powerful spirits and deities who sought to establish dominance.

The Flying Village was established to escape a powerful ghost or god.

All we need to do is wait for this period of intense activity to pass, and that person will appear only briefly, like the ghosts and gods before them, and eventually disappear into the long river of history.

Based on this knowledge and authority, no one in Feitian Village has ever practiced the "Breathing Technique" to this day.

No, it's not as simple as not practicing the breathing techniques.

Even the most universally applicable "Luoshu" and "Comprehensive Basic Disease Enlightenment and Operation Manual" only appeared in Feitianzhai not long ago.

You should know that these two books are truly "survival supplies" in the mountains of Baidi today.

Every villager who can read will prepare a few books for emergencies.

In contrast, in Feitian Village, before the advent of the "Comprehensive Basic Disease Enlightenment and Operation Manual," birth, aging, illness, and death were entirely left to fate.

The person who brought these two books was not a mountain dweller, but a witch from the outside world.

She was an extremely beautiful priestess, and possessed a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that did not match her appearance.

Under the guidance of this witch, Feitian Village made good use of the mechanical principles recorded in the Luoshu and rebuilt a complex hook and rope system connecting the cliffs.

The grappling hook that Feitianzhai initially used to connect to the outside world could only be described as a sturdy rope.

Even the strongest and most agile mountain dwellers in Feitian Village cannot guarantee that they can safely climb to the other side when using that grappling hook.

Because when traversing cliffs and precipices, the fierce winds in the canyon are the greatest challenge.

If they are not careful, the mountain people will be blown down into the valley and fall into the turbulent river, with no chance of survival.

Even though they survived the fierce winds, the hooks connecting the cliffs were not very secure.

Whether it's hanging on a tree or nailed to a cliff, excessive shaking can cause the grappling hook to come off or even break.

For the villagers of Feitianzhai, that would be the most gruesome way to die.

If you crash your flesh and blood against a cliff and let go in time, you might still be able to leave with a whole corpse.

If they instinctively gripped the rope, they would be met with a bloody and mangled end.
