I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 160 - 29: Celestial God: Tunchao Clan (2/3)
Because Xiluo does not allow Xuansi Gu to approach Feilai Peak.
So Xuansi Gu waited until near sunset when faint dark clouds began to appear on the horizon.
Only then did she see Li Boyang and Li Jingshu slowly walking down the mountain path.
Li Jingshu has now long reached the realm of "Primordial Qi Overflow" and has begun to practice the Divine Power of [Soaring Clouds and Mist].
However, due to personal habits, Li Jingshu still prefers to walk back to the village with Li Boyang.
This exhilarating feeling of running and jumping in the mountains and forests.
Is far from comparable to the fleeting speed of Soaring Clouds and Mist.
As for Li Boyang?
He actually doesn’t have much of a preference for the way back to the village.
Since Li Jingshu enjoys traversing the woods, Li Boyang naturally doesn’t mind spending some time relaxing with her.
After all, truth be told, Li Boyang’s training and demands on Li Jingshu over the years have not been low, and could even be described as devilishly intense.
"Prophet!"
Upon noticing Li Boyang, Xuansi Gu immediately approached him.
Out of personal emotion, Xuansi Gu chose to selectively ignore Xiaogui lying on Li Jingshu’s body.
"So quickly have you obtained useful information?"
With a hint of surprise, she looked up at the enormous Spider Queen.
Li Boyang obviously didn’t expect the "interrogation" speed to be this fast.
He originally thought it would take a few more days to get the intelligence he wanted from Qing Fu.
"That priest’s mental defenses were weaker than I imagined..."
"It was probably because witnessing you killing the Qingmu Clan hit her hard psychologically."
"Just a simple dose of hallucinogenic poison liquid almost made her spill everything."
Xuansi Gu, too, had to admit being surprised by Qing Fu’s weak psychological defenses.
Yet, thinking about what the other had been through, Xuansi Gu felt this was quite normal and understandable.
For a priest group that values Gods over themselves.
Witnessing the death of a God is, to them, equivalent to the sky collapsing.
Xuansi Gu even felt that Qing Fu’s series of stubborn and agitated reactions were most likely triggered by stress.
"Then tell me, what exactly is the situation in the Guifang Kingdom now?"
"What is the purpose of the Qingmu Clan taking such risks to find Er Tu?"
With a strange expression on her face, Xuansi Gu whispered under Li Boyang’s surprised gaze.
"Well... the truth is not as complicated as you think..."
"Or, to be more precise, Qing Fu only realized after the Qingmu Clan’s death that their God might simply have been escaping."
...........................
Three years ago, Li Boyang, in the form of a Yang God, defeated the Five Directions Gods.
Among them, the Heaven-Howling Clan was the most severely injured, and the Guifang Kingdom even presumed it had died.
Under normal circumstances, the Five Directions Gods are of one heart and share both honor and disgrace, so such things would not be surprising.
Once the Heaven-Howling Clan recovered, stability would naturally return to normal.
However, the key issue was that the Guifang Kingdom unexpectedly instigated a revolution against the Heaven-Howling Clan at this time.
To Gods, a mortal revolution is nothing but a joke.
Even the weakest of the Five Directions Gods, the Qingmu Clan, could easily wipe out those ridiculous fellows.
Yet this was when Qing Fu accidentally uncovered the true identity of the Sovereign leading this revolution—Chongming.
He was not the true Sovereign.
But the candidate priest Xuan Hui, who was supposed to have been confirmed dead three years ago!
He allied with Blood Demon Youzhong to personally overthrow the position of the Heaven-Howling Clan.
It was at that moment that the Qingmu Clan realized that the Guirong Clan’s influence was behind this revolution against the Gods.
Upon realizing this, the Qingmu Clan immediately chose to watch and wait for the revival of the Heaven-Howling Clan.
Unexpectedly, the Tunchao Clan, also one of the Five Directions Gods, was the first to regain humanity and exact revenge on her.
The Tunchao Clan was a powerful Celestial God annexed and assimilated by the Guifang Kingdom during its thousand-year expansion.
To make the Tunchao Clan truly a God of the Guifang Kingdom.
The Heaven-Howling Clan spent centuries weakening its humanity and strengthening its divinity, making it symbolic rather than existent.
What surprised the Qingmu Clan even more was that, upon the return of the Tunchao Clan.
The once-hidden Guirong Clan seemed stimulated, abruptly accelerating the pace of the revolution.
Being left with no choice, the Qingmu Clan had to abandon the idea of continuing to watch and decided to forcibly awaken the Heaven-Howling Clan to take charge.
And then... there was no "then."
The Qingmu Clan was originally the least combat-proficient Celestial God among the Five Directions Gods.
Facing a backstab from both the Tunchao Clan and the Guirong Clan, the Qingmu Clan chose to abandon the Guifang Kingdom and temporarily retreat to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, a Forbidden Zone for the Five Directions Gods, to weather the storm.
"So, Qing Fu doesn’t actually know what the ’Great Flood’ is?"
Frowning slightly, Li Boyang once again tossed his Celestial Destiny Bone Armor.
Li Boyang had naturally sensed the presence of Youzhong, who assisted Lu Suiniang during childbirth.
Especially with the "Great Flood" mentioned by the other party.
This made Li Boyang’s Innate Spiritual Sense intensely tremble, as if some overwhelming catastrophe was quietly brewing.
Unfortunately, that guy fled too quickly.
By the time Li Boyang had resolved the Qingmu Clan issue, he had already made his escape in advance.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Li Boyang decided to let him go for now, figuring out what the "Great Flood" the other party mentioned truly was first.
"She indeed doesn’t know what the ’Great Flood’ is..."
Shaking her head decisively, Xuansi Gu didn’t believe that Qing Fu could still withhold information while in her hands.
However, although no useful information was gained from Qing Fu, and not knowing why Li Boyang had such firm belief in the existence of the "Great Flood."
Xuansi Gu, being an ambitious old monster, knew full well what "subjective initiative" meant.
Through continuous subtle probing and detailed questioning, Xuansi Gu developed her own conjecture regarding the so-called "Great Flood."
"According to Guifang Kingdom legend, before becoming a Celestial God, Tunchao Clan was a formidable Water God who migrated from near the sea..."
"His power comes from the tides, reaching its peak when the tides rise and retreating accordingly when they fall."
"I believe that the sudden awakening and return of the Tunchao Clan might not be a mere coincidence."
"The Guirong Clan’s bright emergence followed right after the Tunchao Clan’s return..."
Pausing slightly in her speech, Xuansi Gu spoke her guess while looking at the pondering Li Boyang.
"The Great Flood may very well mean just as it sounds, a massive unprecedented flood could be coming..."
"Influenced by it, the Tunchao Clan reached the peak of his power during the tide’s rise while the Guirong Clan, recognizing the crisis, began to hasten their plans."
