I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 184 - 53: The 1,000-Year-Long Struggle (2/3)

Chapter 184: Chapter 53: The 1,000-Year-Long Struggle (2/3)

"Alright! We’ve listened to your past, so now will you tell us how to repair Feilai Peak?"

After a brief silence, Xiluo persistently pursued the question once again.

The position of Feilai Peak in Xiluo’s heart.

It’s far more than just a place sealing numerous Ghost Gods.

It was the last memory left by the Huai River Witch for her, and also her home for a thousand years.

Therefore, the Rain Master could fully understand Xiluo’s urgency.

"Xiluo, you need to curb your impatience."

"Since I’m already standing before you, are you really afraid that I will break my promise?"

Blinking mischievously, the Rain Master continued in a leisurely tone.

"If you simply want to restore Feilai Peak, then just find a few Mountain Gods to help."

"But if what you wish to repair is the Ghost God Cliff that seals the Ghosts and Gods, it’s not so simple."

Saying this, the Rain Master cast a knowing glance at Li Boyang.

Clearly, the Rain Master had long noticed Li Boyang’s intentions, knowing that he actually wanted to solve the problem of the Ghost God Cliff completely.

As for the Ghost Gods within?

Whether they fled or died, Li Boyang didn’t care.

Li Boyang simply wanted to remove the hidden danger of Feilai Peak, indifferent to the life and death of the Ghost Gods.

The Rain Master even vaguely guessed Li Boyang’s subsequent plan.

He would definitely sweep away those unstable factors before the great flood formally arrived at the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, secretly from Xiluo.

For Li Boyang, who mastered the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor and the Nine Chapters of Divination, this posed no difficulty at all.

However, the Rain Master did not appreciate Li Boyang’s approach.

He did not want the Ghost Gods, whom the Huai River Witch spent a millennium trying to enlighten, to simply become a cautionary tale because of Li Boyang.

At least, some of those not inherently malicious, only ignorant of good and evil Ghost Gods, deserved a better ending.

Coincidentally, the Rain Master saw the possibility of such an ending through Li Boyang.

"Did you know?"

"The very spot you’re standing on is where the Guirong Clan was once sealed."

With these words, not only Xiluo was taken aback.

Even Li Boyang lowered his head in slight surprise, looking at the earth beneath his feet.

The Guirong Clan was a part of the Celestial Erosion Monarch, as well as the Five Directions Gods of the Guifang Kingdom.

Li Boyang had always thought that the Heaven-Howling Clan chanced upon the Guirong Clan by accident.

Their mutual fulfillment led to the Heaven-Howling Clan ascending to the status of Celestial God through the Guirong Clan’s power, while the Guirong Clan escaped their seal through the Heaven-Howling Clan’s strength.

But now, it seemed the situation wasn’t as simple as Li Boyang had imagined?

"Thirty years ago, when the Tufang Kingdom had not yet fallen, the Guirong Clan was actually always sealed here."

A rare complex expression appeared on his face.

The Rain Master was unsure if that was the Huai River Witch’s intention or just a coincidence.

But judging by the results, sealing the Guirong Clan in the Tufang Kingdom was undoubtedly a brilliant move by the other party.

The fact that the Rain Master’s worship had endured for a millennium with continuous sacrifices already spoke volumes about the Tufang Kingdom’s people’s nature and persistence.

It was precisely because of such character that the Guirong Clan could never truly corrupt the people of the Tufang Kingdom and replace the Rain Master’s worship with their own.

Under these circumstances, having the Tufang Kingdom’s people release the Guirong Clan was an impossible task.

Utterly at a loss, the Guirong Clan had to cooperate with the outside world, hoping to lift their seal through other means.

The Heaven-Howling Clan and the Guifang Kingdom were the Guirong Clan’s carefully chosen targets.

A millennium ago, the Guirong Clan helped the then non-Celestial God Heaven-Howling Clan grow and assisted the Guifang Kingdom in expanding from a small tribe to a dominant Fang Kingdom.

The Guirong Clan’s ultimate goal was for the Guifang Kingdom to annex the Tufang Kingdom, thereby freeing themselves.

Unfortunately, while the Guirong Clan dreamt of dominating, they were outsmarted by their prey.

The Guirong Clan believed their interests aligned with the Heaven-Howling Clan’s, yet didn’t foresee the Heaven-Howling Clan, as Ancestor Gods, placing such immense value on the Guifang Kingdom.

Upon realizing that the Guirong Clan was the same Celestial Erosion Monarch that almost devoured Taiyang.

The Heaven-Howling Clan, with no hesitation, chose to renounce their alliance.

Not only that, for the ensuing millennium, the Heaven-Howling Clan deliberately suppressed the Guirong Clan’s influence in the Guifang Kingdom. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

From the initial Dual Gods to the present Five Directions Gods...

This seemingly unique divine system was initially designed to suppress the Guirong Clan.

The remaining four Gods in the Five Directions Gods took turns slumbering.

Always maintaining a stance where one God opposed the Guirong Clan.

Even the fact that the Tufang Kingdom lasted for over a millennium under the Guifang Kingdom’s watchful eye had reasons tied to the Heaven-Howling Clan’s guidance.

Sadly, thirty years ago, everything changed.

The genius High Priest of that time, the Ghost Owl, was deceived by the Guirong Clan, eagerly wanting to become the next Ancestor God of the Guifang Kingdom, thus waging war against the Tufang Kingdom.

By the time the Heaven-Howling Clan awoke from their slumber, it was already too late.

The Guirong Clan, in a bid to vent their wrath and to balance against the Heaven-Howling, Qingmu, and Tunchao Clans, used the power of the Prison Soul Tripod to transform the entire Tufang Kingdom into a Ghost God.

"After this battle, the Guirong Clan truly broke free of its seal."

As the Rain Master spoke to this point, a flash of realization crossed Li Boyang’s face.

Piecing together all the clues and events brought forth some truths that had troubled Li Boyang, naturally surfacing.

It was after this battle that the Ghost Owl chose to defect from the Guifang Kingdom.

Similarly, having witnessed the Prison Soul Tripod’s power to refine Ghost Gods firsthand.

The Ghost Owl could not help but take this National Treasure Divine Artifact with him when he fled.

Of course, considering the existence of the Guirong Clan.

Whether or not the Guirong Clan secretly orchestrated the Ghost Owl’s theft of the Prison Soul Tripod was up for debate.

But from Li Boyang’s perspective, he leaned towards the idea that the Guirong Clan intentionally let the Ghost Owl take the Prison Soul Tripod.

The purpose was to prevent the Heaven-Howling Clan from continuing to use the Prison Soul Tripod to forge Ghost Gods like the Tufang Clan to counterbalance themselves.

In fact, ever since learning that the Guirong Clan was the Celestial Erosion Monarch.

Li Boyang had formed his own judgments on the origins of the Prison Soul Tripod.

The proverbs etched on the Prison Soul Tripod were part of an incomplete variant "Energy Talisman" formed by exhaustive methods.

Who else, but the Celestial Erosion Monarch who once admired the Huai River Witch, could accomplish such a feat?

Li Boyang estimated that the Prison Soul Tripod was likely the initial reward the Guirong Clan gave to the Heaven-Howling Clan, and by extension, to the Guifang Kingdom.

At the very least, it was a backup plan for the Heaven-Howling Clan should they fail to ascend as Celestial Gods.

Given the Heaven-Howling Clan’s character, for the sake of the Guifang Kingdom, even transforming into a Ghost God like the Tufang Clan would not have given them a moment’s hesitation.

"After all this roundabout talk, what exactly do you want to convey?"

Frowning and staring at the Rain Master for quite a while, Xiluo’s impatience once again amused him.

"Have any of you considered how Wu Yao managed to seal the Guirong Clan initially?"

"The Guirong Clan was, after all, the manifestation of the Celestial Erosion Monarch’s malice, possessing most of the Celestial Erosion Monarch’s divine powers..."

"What kind of seal do you think could suppress it, keeping it bound for a millennium?"

The Rain Master paused for a moment before continuing with a pointed smile.

Li Boyang hadn’t reacted yet.

Xiluo’s eyes suddenly widened, as if she had realized something.

"Could it be... my sister left ’It’ here?"
