I Come to Teach You Cultivation - Chapter 358 - 41: Celestial Witch (2/3)
A thousand years ago, before Wu Yao had arrived at the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Wu Yao’s tribe, after enduring countless hardships and making innumerable choices, finally decided to settle in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
During this process, not everyone could understand Wu Yao’s decision.
And at that time, already a Great Witch and the leader of the tribe, Wu Yao could not show her vulnerability or pessimism in front of the tribe members.
Thus, Wu Yao made a very irrational choice back then—to establish the Sea Calming Tripod as the totem of the tribe.
It must be known that the Sea Calming Tripod is a divine artifact with spirituality, a rare treasure most likely to become an Innate God.
Wu Yao’s action was tantamount to accelerating the process of the Sea Calming Tripod becoming a God, from which emerged the Totem God known as "Kunwu."
Kunwu witnessed how Wu Yao transformed from a wavering, restless girl.
Gradually growing into a Celestial Witch who always maintained a smile, full of confidence, no matter when or where.
It’s no exaggeration to say that although Kunwu was reticent, often listening in silence, He was the most reliable elder in Wu Yao’s heart.
This had nothing to do with strength; it was a natural trust and reliance.
Moreover, although Kunwu was not a Celestial God, His strength was actually not weak.
Before Wu Yao led the tribe to settle in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Kunwu helped them overcome many hardships and disasters.
Otherwise, even with Wu Yao’s strong push, Kunwu could not have stabilized His position as a Totem God until the two completely parted ways.
Yes, soon after arriving at the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Kunwu parted ways with Wu Yao.
This was related to Kunwu’s inherently stubborn nature and is the fundamental reason why Xiluo never knew that Kunwu and Wu Yao were old acquaintances.
...........................
"Although I think Wu Yao was a bit too indulgent with those mortals."
"But I agree with Wu Yao’s ideas and beliefs, and I’m willing to pursue her ideals."
When saying this, Kunwu no longer looked at Li Boyang but turned His gaze back to Xiluo beside him.
"Wu Yao treated you the best during her lifetime, and you also know what kind of future she longed for."
"If she were still alive, how do you think she would act?"
One sentence rendered Xiluo silent, but Kunwu continued, seemingly unsatisfied.
"I’m merely making the choice that Wu Yao should have made, so you ought to support me, not oppose me obstinately."
Seeing that Kunwu’s words successfully swayed Xiluo, Li Boyang finally shook his head and spoke up.
"Moral coercion should end here!"
"Kunwu, when did I ever agree to hand you over to Wu Xian?"
"And Xiluo, when have I ever broken my promise to you?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
His gaze shifted between Kunwu and Xiluo, and Li Boyang sighed helplessly as if watching a farce.
"Both of you, haven’t you perhaps underestimated me a bit?"
"Do you know what I’ve been busy with since yesterday?"
Without waiting for Kunwu and Xiluo to answer, Li Boyang pointed to the Purple Gold Red Gourd floating beside them.
"Do you know what this is?"
A bit bewildered, they exchanged a glance.
Of course, Kunwu knew nothing about the Purple Gold Red Gourd and the Elixir of Immortality for He did not have the Thousand-Mile Eye or Sharp-Earing.
Although Xiluo secretly eavesdropped on the conversation between Li Boyang and Wu Peng.
Her attention was focused on the "Eastern Sea Disaster" and the "Nether Spring Disaster," so she hadn’t thought about the Elixir of Immortality.
"Xiluo, remember what I told you before?"
"The pinnacle of the physical body is ’immortality,’ and there’s a shortcut to achieving ’immortality.’
At these words, Xiluo finally understood.
"The Elixir of Immortality?"
"Is the elixir now in this gourd the Elixir of Immortality?"
Lightly nodding, Li Boyang continued with a smile.
"Just like you said before, Great Xia needs the Sea Calming Tripod, not Totem God Kunwu."
"So all we have to do is separate the Sea Calming Tripod from Kunwu."
"Or more precisely, make it so that those Great Witches must rely on Kunwu to control the Sea Calming Tripod."
"In this regard, you were misled by that old thing Wu Xian from the start."
"The initiative was never in those Great Witches’ hands; we are the ones who can truly decide."
Upon hearing Li Boyang say this, Kunwu immediately understood.
Even if understanding Li Boyang’s intention, Kunwu was still unable to comprehend what he planned to do.
"What do you plan to do?"
This question was posed by Xiluo, who was also pondering what Li Boyang intended to do.
——The Sea Calming Tripod is Kunwu, and Kunwu is the Sea Calming Tripod.
Xiluo couldn’t fathom how Li Boyang would separate them.
"Remember the prerequisites for becoming a Celestial God?"
"The biggest difference between Gods and Celestial Gods lies in the latter abandoning their original bodies, transforming into something akin to a Celestial Disaster."
"So as long as Kunwu becomes a Celestial God, He would naturally no longer be the Sea Calming Tripod."
Upon hearing this, everyone present suddenly understood.
According to Li Boyang’s theory, this is indeed feasible.
No, it could be said that this is the only way to completely resolve the issue.
"Wait, if ascending to Celestial God were that easy, then there wouldn’t be such a scarcity of Celestial Gods."
Even though she understood Li Boyang’s intention, Xiluo still noticed the key problem.
"That’s where the ’Elixir of Immortality’ comes into play."
"Though this ’Elixir of Immortality’ is not the resurrection kind Wu Peng hoped for."
"Nor is it the original version of the Immortal Grass, but it holds infinite possibilities..."
With just a slight gesture, the Purple Gold Red Gourd fell into Li Boyang’s hand.
"With a little modification, even if Kunwu can’t ascend to Celestial God, dying would be quite difficult."
Once again, his words shocked everyone, even the usually composed Kunwu widened His eyes.
"You intend for me to use this ’Elixir of Immortality’!?"
"This is the ’Elixir of Immortality,’ and it’s the only one!"
"By using this ’Elixir of Immortality,’ you can offset the weaknesses of the physical body and gain a truly Undying Body!"
"Isn’t that the ’Golden Core Realm’ you’ve been pursuing all along!?"
With Kunwu’s status and experience, He naturally knew what had troubled Li Boyang most over the years.
This is why He was even more shocked that Li Boyang was willing to forgo this [Elixir of Immortality], giving it to Him to break through to the Celestial God’s level.
Honestly, not just Kunwu.
Anyone, after learning Li Boyang’s idea, would think it’s a huge waste.
After all, there are many Celestial Gods in the world, but since ancient times, there has only been one recorded "Undead"—Divine Witch Wuxian.
That human lived for over two thousand years, even outliving many Celestial Gods, showing the value of the [Elixir of Immortality].
