Chapter 561 The Merit of Education, the Name of Saint and Demon

"Have the mountain people really developed to this extent?"

It must be admitted that Chishongzi was truly stunned when he learned that those "big, clumsy, and rough" vehicles possessed thousands of horsepower.

The widespread dissemination of the Way of Heaven and Man is because the Way of Heaven and Man originated from the Dao Ancestor.

To outsiders, the mountain people are only able to undergo such earth-shattering changes because of their proximity to the water.

Even Chisongzi had thought more than once how wonderful it would be if the Dao Ancestor were born in the Great Xia Dynasty!
But what he saw right now told Chishongzi another possibility.

The mountain people possess wisdom that is in no way inferior to that of the Great Xia; it's just that no one cares about or discovers it.

Given the opportunity, even without divine intervention, the mountain people will develop a civilization that is second to none.

The application of steam power, the development of electrical energy...

These techniques were all developed by the mountain people themselves; the Taoist patriarch at most only got started.

Is this the meaning of 'education'?

I have never understood the meaning of "education" spoken of by the Taoist patriarch so vividly.

After a brief silence, Chishongzi inexplicably began to look forward to the future of the mountain people.

Even though the mountain people were destined to stand against the Great Xia, Chisongzi still couldn't suppress his eager anticipation.

"We've arrived, we're about to enter Gao Village Town!"

After traveling in silence for a long time, Wu Luo and Chi Songzi finally arrived at the entrance to Gaocun Town.

"This population size... is practically the same as a capital city, isn't it!?"

Gazing at the enormous town in the distance, Chishongzi exclaimed in amazement once again.

At present, Gaocun Town is not surrounded by city walls.

Both in terms of population size and architectural system, it has reached the level of a capital city.

If population size were disregarded, Chishongzi even felt that the capital region of Daxia might not be comparable to the present-day Gaocun Town.

"After all, it was built in the mountains, and with the protection of the man-made secret realm, the mountain people had no awareness or need to develop a 'city wall'."

As an expert in warfare, Wu Luo could quite understand the strange situation in Gaocun Town.

"If there is a foreign invasion, given the strength and terrain of the Hyakuchi Mountains, a form of warfare such as bunkers and fortresses would be more suitable for them."

Instead of holding out in one place, they relied on their formidable strength and mobility to wage guerrilla warfare in the mountains.

If war were to break out in the Hundred Mountains in the future, it would most likely be the war fought by the mountain people.

As for outward expansion?

After witnessing the absurdity of this "Great Array of Heaven and Earth," Wu Luo couldn't think of any other reason for them to expand outwards.

At least before the Dao Ancestor went into seclusion, the mountain people should not have given birth to rulers with such a strong desire for aggression.

"I now think that the existence of that Taoist patriarch may have become a limiting factor for the mountain people."

"See those three-eyed beings? They're known as 'Holy Demons' by other races..."

"Possessing wisdom, strength, and unwavering faith, these individuals are all dangerous individuals capable of challenging the gods if thrown out into the world."

Perhaps because of his authority over war and battles, Wuluo spoke of these things without any reservations.

Seemingly noticing Wu Luo's gaze, the mountain people passing by on both sides of the road frowned.

Some of the more hot-tempered individuals made no attempt to hide their vigilance, their gazes towards Wu Luo filled with malice.

"Don't forget why we're here, and don't cause me any trouble!"

Chisongzi glared helplessly at Wuluo, knowing full well that the other was deliberately provoking him. Among the Ten Witches of Lingshan, and even among the Witches of the Great Xia Dynasty, Wuluo was undoubtedly the most warlike.

Having witnessed so much along the way, Wu Luo naturally wanted to see the power of the mountain people, or rather, the power of the Three-Eyed Holy Demon.

"Tsk tsk tsk, now you're the boss, you call the shots."

With a rather bored expression, Wu Luo shrugged and withdrew his provocative gaze.

Gaocun Town, Nüman Temple.

This place was originally a land temple dedicated to the land.

However, since the appearance of the female barbarian, this place was naturally converted into a temple for her.

More than twenty years have passed since Nü'e took over the position of shaman.

Those originally naive and innocent girls have gradually grown into mature and reliable priestesses.

Especially after the artificial cave was formed.

Holding the [Qiankun Formation Diagram], she is a living deity.

Within the confines of this man-made grotto, no cultivator below the level of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness could possibly be her match.

Moreover, thanks to the massive array barrier that covered the entire cave, nothing could be hidden from Nü'e if she so desired.

In fact, in order to better manage this barrier, Gao Village even assigned a group of people to maintain it.

Therefore, when Chisongzi and Wuluo, these two outsiders, walked unabashedly toward the Numan Temple, Nu'e immediately knew of their presence.

"The shamans of the Great Xia?"

After a thoughtful murmur, Nu'e turned her gaze to the statue of the deity in the center of the temple.

That was the appearance of the former female barbarian, except that she had a pair of fairy-like wings on her back, indicating that she had long since become the incarnation of the second-generation female barbarian.

"Don't worry, they have no ill intentions."

As if sensing Nu'e's confusion, the statue suddenly winked mischievously.

The next second, the will of the second-generation female barbarian descended upon the statue, making its originally stiff face become lifelike.

"These two great shamans have come to select the successor to the tenth shaman king, and their first target is Yinglong."

"However, they almost didn't even get to see the real person before being kicked out by E'tu."

"I think their target right now should be you."

Hearing what the barbarian woman said, Nu'e blinked and then asked with a puzzled look.

"Why me?"

Nu'e considered herself very ordinary, and that she was not qualified to be chosen by the Great Xia to become the tenth Witch King, whether in terms of ability or intelligence.

"Don't underestimate yourself. You are the successor I personally chose."

"You think you are ordinary simply because you were born in Gao Village, under the protection of the Dao Ancestor."

"If you had been born in the Great Xia Dynasty, you would definitely be no less than any of the Great Shamans."

The woman paused slightly at this point.

"Moreover, what Great Xia needs now is perhaps someone like you: someone who is neither arrogant nor impatient, has a calm temperament, and will never take credit for others' work."
