I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 391 Ancient War God
"You didn't come to me just to tell me this, did you?"

"Or are you planning to kick me out?"

After a moment of silence, Wuzhen spoke again.

Wu Zhen had actually been mentally prepared for Li Boyang to discover her.

She never intended to hide her arrival from Li Boyang when she came to these mountains.

For Wuzhen, her purpose was to personally visit the Hundred Mountains.

The help given to Feitian Village now is merely a convenient gesture from Wu Zhen, who couldn't bear to see it any longer.

“If I wanted to get rid of you, you wouldn’t even be able to get into these Hundred Mountains.”

Li Boyang shook his head slightly. His words sounded somewhat arrogant, but no one doubted their truthfulness.

"The Hundred Mountains are not the Great Xia, and I am not Wu Yi."

“These mountains and rivers are not my property, but a place where all living beings can come.”

"The Hundred Mountains can accept mountain people, spirits and gods from the outside world, and naturally they can also accept seekers of the Way like you."

"As long as you are willing to accept the rules of the Hundred Mountains, even if those ancient gods of the wilderness are resurrected, there will be a place for them to stay here."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhen simply smiled calmly.

"You say the Hundred Mountains are not Great Xia, and you are not Wu Yi."

“But you, like the Witch King of Great Xia, set the rules with your own thoughts and will.”

Before Li Boyang could even speak, Xi Luo, who had transformed into a firebird, refuted him on his behalf.

“I have learned about the rules of your Great Xia, and you have fixed almost everything.”

“From clothing, food, housing, and transportation to sacrificial ceremonies, you have stipulated what people should do and when they should do certain behaviors.”

"Just like the Flying Village you transformed, its prosperity was also built upon strict and complex rules."

“But the doll is different. He only says what things shouldn’t be done, but there are no other taboos or restrictions.”

This is the biggest difference between Great Xia and the Hundred Mountains, and it is also a major reason why countless outsiders choose to come here instead of fleeing to Great Xia.

The Great Xia was an absolute state of authority.

Everything we do is governed by established rules, and any violation will be punished.

The Hundred Mountains, on the other hand, only have a few consensuses that maintain the coexistence of humans, spirits, and gods; Li Boyang hardly cares about the rest.

— Govern by non-interference and by letting nature take its course.

This is the difference between Legalism and Taoism, and it is also the point that most insightful people admire most about Li Boyang.

In any era, "having no taboos" is a derogatory term.

The real test of Li Boyang's ability lies in how to guide this "unfettered" approach towards prosperity rather than self-destruction.

“You’re right, that’s one of the reasons I decided to come to these mountains.”

Wu Zhen didn't deny Xi Luo's statement, and he smiled, which was rare for him.

"If the Witch King is a strict patriarch, then the Celestial is a tolerant guide."

"During these past few months in the mountains of Baidi, I have come to realize this very deeply."

Looking intently at Li Boyang's increasingly mature face, Wu Zhen changed the subject and asked.

"You came to find me because of the Xuan Su Clan, didn't you?"

No longer pretending to be ignorant, Wu Zhen, who had long guessed Li Boyang's purpose for this trip, said this.

"She was one of the purposes!"

"I came to you to find out the location of 'Kunlun Guixu'."

Kunlun Guixu was once the capital of the Heavenly Emperor.

Xingtian was once an important minister of the Heavenly Emperor, and the tribe of Changyang Mountain guarded the Western Ruins for the Great Xia.

Once this equation holds true, it becomes a logical deduction that the Xingtian clan throughout history knew the location of Kunlun Guixu.

Furthermore, since Wuzhen has mastered the [Ten Commandments of White Bones], an ability based on the remains of gods and demons.

This can only mean that before "Wu Yi Shoots the Sky", Wu Zhen, or rather the successive Xing Tian clansmen, had already been practicing with a large number of the remains of gods and demons.

So the question arises: where could there be a large number of remains left by gods and demons?

"Just because of that, you're so sure I know the location of 'Kunlun Return to Ruins'?"

Sitting in the reception hall of Feitian Village, Wu Zhen asked this question with a frown.

At this moment, a group of villagers from Feitian Village were watching the three people inside from outside the reception room.

Because Li Boyang rarely showed himself, the villagers of Feitianzhai naturally did not recognize him as their mountain prophet.

But they recognized Xi Luo, who had taken human form.

That flowing feathered robe and ribbons have become a symbol of Xi Luo.

In fact, ever since he gained the ability to transform into a human.

Xi Luo loved appearing in this form in various corners of the Hundred Mountains, and made no attempt to conceal her identity.

Over time, some villages that already worshipped Xiluo even took the initiative to replace the original Wenli and Chibao forms with this human form.

"if not?"

"Didn't you already know that I'm best at divination?"

"With this information, isn't it a matter of course to divine this kind of information?"

Sitting opposite Wu Zhen, Li Boyang smiled calmly.

“I even know that the current Xingtian is your elder brother.”

"Although Xing Tian died, his will lives on and needs a 'container' to contain it."

"Therefore, all the great shamans of Changyang Mountain have voluntarily given up the possibility of becoming gods, and used themselves as 'vessels' to inherit this power from the ancient gods."

"This is the destiny of the Changyang Mountain tribe, and it is also the reason why you are able to replace the Witch King in guarding the 'Western Ruins'."

"Compared to other kingdoms, Changyang Mountain has only one god, but he is the most powerful 'Ancient War God'."

After a slight pause, Li Boyang looked at Wu Zhen, whose face was faintly showing anger, and continued speaking.

"Only you, who clearly possess the most outstanding qualifications, refuse to take on this mission."

"No, you not only refused to take on this mission, but you even went so far as to create a heretical witchcraft that could exorcise spirits and command ghosts."

“When you return to Changyang Mountain as one of the ‘Ten Witches of Ling Mountain,’ your elder brother has already voluntarily taken on that responsibility in your place.”

Li Boyang did not think that Wu Zhen's choice was wrong.

After all, this era is progressing. Ancient power is just ancient, but it is not necessarily correct, much less a synonym for strength.

Wuzhen wanted to use methods of exorcising gods and demons to control them, but her brother chose to follow tradition.

This is simply a difference in ideas, not a matter of right or wrong.

"Tell me the location of Kunlun Guixu, and I will help you perfect your supernatural powers of commanding gods and ghosts."

"After all, besides the legacy of the Witch King, I may be the only person in this world who can help you perfect that supernatural power."
