I Come to Teach You Cultivation

The next day, when Xiluo cautiously returned to the Mountain God Temple.

Li Boyang was sitting opposite Wu Peng, and the atmosphere seemed quite pleasant.

Of course, this was assuming one ignored Wu Peng’s expression of utter despair and hopelessness.

"I see, the essence of the ’Barrier Realm’ is hope, it is the embodiment of one’s inner thoughts."

"The Second-Generation Witch King, who could transform illusion into reality, was truly a genius to think of using this method to suppress the gods."

"Unfortunately, all the ’Barrier Realm’ can do is merely suppress."

Li Boyang shook his head regretfully, expressing his heartfelt admiration.

"If that Second-Generation Witch King could have lived a little longer, perhaps it could have been taken a step further."

"However, that’s not a certainty."

"After all, the ’Barrier Realm’ you use now is witchcraft developed over thousands of years."

"No matter how outstanding or talented the Second-Generation Witch King was, he couldn’t surpass the crystallized wisdom of all the geniuses throughout the ages."

Li Boyang never denies any genius’s abilities, but he also doesn’t overestimate the role of a genius.

Just like himself now. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Although he established the Path of Celestial and Human, as it spread more widely, many things arose that he neither anticipated nor expected.

"The Second-Generation Witch King was indeed a genius, or he wouldn’t have been chosen as a successor by the First-Generation Witch King."

Wu Peng maintained his state of disillusionment.

But when mentioning the Second-Generation Witch King, his tone was unusually tinged with excitement.

Each Witch King was an idol for the many witches of Great Xia, transforming them from priests serving the gods to pioneers leading humanity forward.

Among them, rather than admiring the First-Generation Witch King, who led humanity in rebellion against the gods,

wisemen like Wu Peng actually revered the Second-Generation Witch King, who established the pattern of human and god co-ruling in Great Xia, endowing the great witches with the power to resist the gods.

"Hmm, it’s evident that the Witch King is indeed dear to the people of Great Xia."

Seeing Wu Peng, whose Tao Heart was shattered, grow excited when mentioning the Second-Generation Witch King, Li Boyang nodded knowingly.

"Let’s switch the topic..."

"For instance, the Undying Tripod, the Horror God Corpse, and most importantly, the ’Elixir of Immortality’."

Unknowingly, Li Boyang had already taken out the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor, tossing it casually while keeping an eye on Wu Peng’s expression and gaze.

The Telepathy ability, allowing him to discern human thoughts and detect lies, had activated unconsciously.

"It turns out the main ingredient for the ’Elixir of Immortality’ has indeed fallen into your hands."

Unfazed by Li Boyang’s question, Wu Peng responded calmly in this manner.

"But what I know might be even less than you imagine."

Letting the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor spin between his fingers, Li Boyang remained composed.

"That’s okay, just tell me what you know; after all, I’m merely curious."

Whether Wu Peng believed it or not, he managed a faint smile.

"I was also merely curious before stealing the ’Undying Tripod’."

...........................

Within the borders of Xia are nine tripods.

These nine tripods are both ritual tools for the Witch Kings’ inheritance and the lifeblood of the Divine Land Barrier.

However, to prevent the many gods of Great Xia from capturing the nine tripods,

aside from the Jianmu Tripod, which became the Heaven-Reaching Tower, the other eight tripods remain hidden.

Perhaps only Wu Xian, known as the "Divine Witch," besides the Witch King, knows their whereabouts.

It wasn’t until Wu Yi reawakened the nine tripods that the Divine Land Barrier was formed.

However, the whereabouts of the nine tripods were thus exposed, causing turbulence across the Great Xia Country.

Even weakened, those gods still possessed power beyond ordinary mortals.

When they sought to find the nine tripods and control the Divine Land Barrier, only those innate sacred beings born among mortals — witches — could contend with them.

Thus, the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches were all deployed, attempting to find the nine tripods before the many gods of Great Xia.

The Enlightened Six Witches, led by Wu Peng, found the Undying Tripod left by the Fifth Witch King during this process.

"The essence of the ’Undying Tripod’ is actually a ritual, one specifically for refining the elixir of immortality."

"Unfortunately, the Fifth Witch King left behind this ritual but destroyed all the ingredients for refining the elixir."

Even Wu Peng, in his disillusioned state, couldn’t help but sigh at this point.

The original elixir of immortality came from only one thing — the Immortal Grass!

It was a secret treasure from the Celestial Emperor’s Capital, the Returning Void, a treasure of that Celestial Emperor from millennia ago.

The Fifth Witch King’s "Elixir of Immortality" was actually refined from remnants of the Immortal Grass.

This "Elixir of Immortality" not only endowed eternal life but could even resurrect the dead.

The Enlightened Six Witches were interested in refining the "Elixir of Immortality" due to its second effect — reviving the dead.

After the Battle of the East Sea, witnessing the gods of Great Xia betray Wu Yi,

the Enlightened Six Witches knew the internal contradictions of Great Xia were inevitably stirred up, and the false prosperity of "human and god co-ruling" was completely torn apart.

To avert the impending disaster,

they had to either immediately elect a new Witch King to control the Divine Land Barrier with absolute power and restore the balance between humanity and gods,

or resurrect the Ninth Witch King, Wu Yi, to cleanse the gods of Great Xia at their root.

Undoubtedly, the Enlightened Six Witches chose the latter and ventured to refine a genuine "Elixir of Immortality."

"Although the materials for refining the ’Elixir of Immortality’ were destroyed, the ’Undying Tripod’ can still function."

"So we decided to take a different path and cultivate the Immortal Grass ourselves."

This idea, seemingly whimsical, was very much in line with the nature of the great witches.

Since the initial Immortal Grass was cultivated by that Celestial Emperor millennia ago, it must be replicable.

As perhaps the most skilled healer among the great witches, Wu Peng gathered all information related to the Immortal Grass and eventually devised an actionable plan.

"Cultivate the Immortal Grass ourselves? Then refine the Elixir of Immortality?"

One must admit, when Li Boyang heard Wu Peng say this,

he couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration for this man who seemed disillusioned and unperturbed.

Especially when Li Boyang learned that the Enlightened Six Witches dared to plan using the corpses and souls of gods for refining the "Elixir of Immortality,"

his inner astonishment and shock were beyond words.

Most crucially, the method conceived by the Enlightened Six Witches for refining it was akin to Gu Refining.

Let countless dying gods vie for the nascent Immortal Grass, ultimately nurturing the perfect "Elixir of Immortality."
