I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 206 - 21: Sun God: The Bird of Spring (3/3)

In the depths of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, a forbidden zone that Li Boyang had never set foot in.

"I thought you would choose to play dumb again, like before?"

Bathed in the long-lost sunlight, Li Boyang spread his arms and walked on the auspicious clouds, traversing the blue sky and white clouds together with Xiluo.

Beside them, the face of a blue kingfisher revealed a touch of human-like helplessness.

"Not playing dumb, just lacking the capability."

"This time, the flood is not just a water disaster initiated by Wuzhiqi."

"It is also a cycle of natural operation, a manifestation of the will of heaven and earth."

"It originates from the Kunlun Ruins, a backlash against the wanton changes in mountains and rivers by the Great Xia Gods, and our Hundred Lands Mountains are merely collateral damage."

Seeing Li Boyang listening seriously and Xiluo with an indifferent face, the kingfisher emphasized again.

"You have been 'Cloud Formation and Rainfall' for several months, you should have sensed it, right?"

"Your previous actions seemed to prevent the arrival of the flood disaster..."

"But in reality, it only intensified the accumulation of water disaster, the birth of Calamity God."

"Once that Huo Ji pierces through the mountains, the disaster you prevented will sweep this land with tenfold might."

"By then, there will truly be no way out for the creatures living on this land."

Faced with the bird's warning, Li Boyang indeed listened, but only half of it.

"I naturally understand the principle of 'unblocking is better than blocking'."

"But if you don't 'block' to this extent, how would you take action?"

Glancing at the bird with a smile, Li Boyang said steadfastly, as if he had predicted it long ago.

"This is a flood disaster sweeping across the Hundred Lands Mountains, a survival crisis where every creature is striving to survive."

"Only we mountain people are working hard at the forefront, while you divine spirits hide behind enjoying the fruits, isn't that too wishful thinking!"

Without allowing the kingfisher to refute, Li Boyang continued.

"I can ignore your hiding of the Ghost Gods..."

"But in return, you cannot stay out of this flood, you must contribute."

Hearing Li Boyang say this, the kingfisher showed a suddenly enlightened expression.

It seems this prophet adept in divination had long anticipated the current situation, intentionally forcing oneself to act.

Thus, the original persuasion words became silent, replaced by a speechless awkwardness.

"You are different from Wu Yao, you are much smarter than her and have a much heavier killing intent..."

"Moreover, Elder is not as powerful as you imagine, she has merely lived long enough and seen much."

With a slight smile, Li Boyang simply translated for the kingfisher.

"Yes, I admit, I am indeed a bit more difficult to control than that Huai River Witch."

"You're not even sure if the mountain people are truly my weakness, so this time, you can also see what I can do for the mountain people."

"As for the Immortal Spring God?"

"I certainly don't have the rigid belief that 'older is stronger'."

"But think about it, for that Immortal Spring God to live so long, if you say He has no cards up His sleeve, would anyone believe it?"

When saying this, Li Boyang deliberately glanced at Xiluo beside him.

As a result, this astute fellow rarely pretended to be oblivious, acting as if he did not hear Li Boyang and the kingfisher's sharp discussion.

"Just like this time, if not seen with my own eyes, who would believe that a kingfisher truly has the power to 'revive all things'?"

Looking up at the sunlight shining through the clouds, Li Boyang's eyes were full of amazement.

Before today, he never would have imagined.

This kingfisher, who for years appeared as the image of the 'Immortal Spring God's messenger', turned out to be a true 'Sun God'?

Li Boyang even suspected that this 'Sun God' might have been cultivated by the Immortal Spring God, specifically as a trump card against the Celestial Erosion Monarch.

It's just that due to my emergence, this kingfisher ended up with no place to show its usefulness.

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

Continuous confrontation and debate along the way.

The three of them quickly arrived at the true core area of the Hundred Lands Mountains.

Unexpectedly, in this core area surrounded by hundreds of peaks, there was not a single true mountain.

This is a vast forest plain, where all kinds of vegetation compete in blossoming.

However, as Li Boyang opened the third Celestial Eye on his forehead.

He was shocked to discover that those flamboyant plants and trees were not growing in soil.

Or more precisely, this so-called "forest plain" is not a genuine plain at all.

The essence of this core area is actually a tree so enormous it's unimaginable.

Its roots spread across the entire land, all the trees in sight are merely branches and parasitic parts of this one tree.

"Is this... the Immortal Spring God?"

The three eyes simultaneously widened to their limits.

Immersed in this mythical life that only exists in the Mythical Era, Li Boyang could not recover from the shock for a long time.

Hundreds of square kilometers are all derivatives of this single tree.

All the plants and animals depend on this tree for survival.

Most astonishingly, its roots even spread out from this core area, drawing nutrients from the entire Hundred Lands Mountains' soil.

And precisely because the essence of this area is a living mythical life.

No matter how much Li Boyang divined and searched earlier.

His Celestial Eye could never fully comprehend this area or pinpoint the Immortal Spring God's true form.

As the saying goes, "Cannot see Lushan's true face, because I am in Lushan."

Absorbing the nutrients of an entire region with one's own power, and then using one's own body to nurture a complete ecosystem.

If not seen with your own eyes, who would imagine such an astonishing life could exist in this world?

"So, those roots that appeared initially were never any innate divine power..."

"They were always part of this Spring God, hidden in depths even deeper than the earth veins."

Touching the third eye on his forehead, Li Boyang couldn't help but murmur to himself.

His Celestial Eye, after repeated evolutions.

Already possessed partial functions of the Thousand-Mile Eye, perspective eye, dynamic eye, insight eye, and even a replica eye.

But it alone lacked the ability to be immune to various complex primordial Qi interference and directly perceive essence.

The complex primordial Qi flow deep within the earth, and the primordial Qi movement within living organisms will disturb the Celestial Eye's perception abilities.

Thus, Li Boyang failed to find the Spring God's roots buried beneath the earth, nor could he penetrate this core area constructed by a giant mythical life form.

Of course, part of the reason is that Li Boyang never considered that the "land" he constantly walked upon was itself the Immortal Spring God he was looking for.

With a lack of macro-perspective, seeing just a part of the bigger picture is quite common.

[Looks like I must revise my preconceived notions...]

[This world is far more wondrous than I imagined.]
