I Come to Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 334 - 17: Divine Witch of Great Xia (2/3)

"Divine Witch of the Great Xia, your visit to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range this time, surely is not just to tell me these things, is it?"

With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Li Boyang continued to stare intently at Wu Xian.

From the perspective of the Celestial Eye, Li Boyang could clearly see that beneath that seemingly old body, there was an astonishing and continuously flowing terrifying vitality.

If that vitality were to be converted into a concrete number.

The vitality of Li Boyang’s current body would be ten, whereas Wu Xian’s vitality would be one hundred.

Even more astonishing is that for normal beings, vitality gradually decreases after middle age.

Even for Li Boyang, who founded the Path of Celestial and Human, the best he could do was to circulate the Life Essence Qi within his body to retain as much vitality as possible.

In other words, Li Boyang’s vitality would also be consumed.

However, Wu Xian’s situation was different; his vitality was also being consumed, yet it was being replenished continuously at all times.

This situation, which completely defied common sense, was enough to suggest that Wu Xian might indeed have consumed the Immortal Grass, thus possessing such a vast yet continually renewing vitality.

"Of course not, I should have come to see you long ago."

"I came when you blocked the South Sea Sea Eye and restored vitality to this land."

"But the prosperity of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range caught my attention, and the vitality exhibited by the beings there shocked me even more."

As Wu Xian said this, Li Boyang’s eyes widened in surprise.

Because in Li Boyang’s divination results, Wu Xian had clearly arrived at the Hundred Lands Mountain Range not long ago.

Yet from the implications in his words, he’d actually been in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range observing the beings for a year.

"No need to be so surprised; after all, I’ve lived for so long and have some understanding of divination methods."

Shaking his head with a smile, Wu Xian’s tone was as flat as if he were talking about what he ate yesterday.

"If we were to trace back to the source, I could barely count as half of Wu Yao’s mentor."

"She believed that the coexistence of humans and Gods shouldn’t follow the model of Great Xia..."

"So a thousand years ago, she chose to leave Great Xia, bringing her people to take root in this Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

"I originally thought Wu Yao had failed."

"But in you, I seem to see the possibility of success."

Listening to Wu Xian’s account, Li Boyang finally understood the meaning of an old and cunning fox.

In a few short sentences, not only did he avoid revealing how he circumvented the divination of the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor, but he also tried to further close the distance between them.

Fortunately, Li Boyang was not buying it, and his gaze towards Wu Xian became increasingly wary.

"Do you know?"

"I’ve lived so long and traveled so many places, yet this is the first time I’ve seen humans coexist so harmoniously with myriad beings."

"Despite clear differences in appearance, abilities, and survival needs, some even starkly opposite..."

"But including the Gods, they all silently adhere to a kind of common... baseline?"

"You seem to call that baseline ’Universal Morality’?"

Ignoring Li Boyang’s wary gaze, Wu Xian continued speaking while inadvertently slipping into reminiscing.

"The Great Tao is long-lasting, in the face of the Great Tao of heaven and earth, all beings are like dust, with no distinction between high and low."

"Life and death are significant matters; taking life through violent means is a sin."

"Do not impose on others what you do not desire; before doing anything, consider if you could accept it happening to yourself."

"All beings are born into this world as part of the celestial fate."

"Whether beings or Gods, if they can’t find a destiny worth dedicating their lives to, they’ve ultimately come to this world in vain."

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

Unlike Wu Yi, who merely observed the surface passingly.

Wu Xian, like Hidden Flight, delved deeply into the myriad beings of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, experiencing firsthand life under the celestial being’s rule.

Although their purposes differed, the outcomes were the same.

The mountain people used specially made Xirang to connect regions originally isolated by the mountains without damaging the environment of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

This connection not only linked mountain people’s villages but also included the habitats of Spirit Monsters and wild beasts.

It’s worth noting that the Hundred Lands Mountain Range is truly a treacherous place.

Not only is survival difficult for the mountain people, but also for the wild creatures there.

Yet, the specially made Xirang stabilizes soil and improves the environment, beneficial for life’s proliferation in every way.

To make a possibly inappropriate analogy.

If the Hundred Lands Mountain Range before the celestial being’s advent was considered a land of poor mountains and rivers.

Then after the celestial being’s advent, it became a true ecological natural reserve.

Not to mention, as more mountain villages mastered domestication techniques, they began actively seeking and nurturing various animals.

Wu Xian doesn’t deny the mountain people’s utilitarianism.

The animals they could domesticate, to some extent, were those beneficial to them.

Ranging from poultry as food to cattle and sheep aiding in production.

But it can’t be denied that the mountain people’s domestication indeed allowed many animals, otherwise destined to die or go extinct, to continue to exist.

Especially in this Mythical Era, the complexity of ecology far exceeds that of Li Boyang’s previous life’s Earth.

Hybrid mutations, atavistic evolution, reproductive isolation, combined with the Gods’ active interference...

All directly result in an exceptionally diverse and complex variety of life in this world, with differences among individuals far beyond imagination.

Not to mention the unique individuals born from cross-species unions.

Even among the same species, due to various reasons, singular Innate Divine individuals contrary to their kind might emerge.

Apart from individual strength differences, these unique individuals or Innate Divine generally possess intelligence surpassing their peers.

Therefore, in the mountain people’s view, no matter what race these unique individuals or Innate Divine originally belong to, they are regarded as equal intelligent beings.

In Wu Xian’s observations, mountain people exhibit a clear difference in treatment between ordinary wild beasts and intelligent individuals.

Regarding ordinary wild beasts, mountain people employ the most primitive law of the jungle.

But towards those special individuals with intelligence, mountain people tend to treat them as equals, capable of communication.

Some mountain people, deeply influenced by Li Boyang, would even actively persuade and help those intelligent individuals shed their most primitive beast habits.

Thus, the current flourishing scene of harmonious coexistence among myriad beings of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range was ultimately created.
