The Witch of Destiny (23)

A thousand years ago, before Wu Yao came to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

The Wu Yao tribe went through countless hardships and made numerous choices before finally choosing to settle in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Not everyone could understand Wu Yao's choice during this process.

Wu Yao, who was already a high shaman and the leader of the tribe at that time, could not possibly show her vulnerable and pessimistic side in front of her people.

Therefore, Wu Yao made a very irrational choice at the time—to establish the Sea-Calming Cauldron as the tribal totem.

It should be understood that the Sea-Calming Cauldron Ding is a divine object possessing spirituality, and is the most likely rare treasure to become Innate Deity.

Wu Yao's actions accelerated the process of Sea-Calming Cauldron becoming a deity, and from this arose Totem Deity named "Kunwu".

Kunwu witnessed how Wu Yao transformed from a hesitant and anxious young girl.

She gradually grows into a Heavenly Mandate Witch who always maintains a smile and is full of confidence, no matter when or where.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Kunwu is taciturn and often just listens silently, he is the most reliable elder in Wu Yao's heart.

This has nothing to do with strength; it's a natural trust and reliance.

Moreover, although Kunwu is not Heavenly Deity, his strength is actually not weak.

Before Wu Yao led her people to settle in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Kunwu had already helped them overcome many hardships and disasters.

Otherwise, even with Wu Yao's strong push, Kunwu would never have been able to maintain his position Totem Deity until the two completely parted ways.

Yes, not long after Kunwu arrived at the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, he parted ways with Wu Yao.

This is related to Kunwu's stubborn personality, and it is also the fundamental reason why Xiluo never knew that Kunwu and Wu Yao were old acquaintances.

"Although I think Wu Yao spoils those mortals a bit too much."

"But I agree with Wu Yao's ideas and beliefs, and I am willing to put her ideals into practice."

When he said this, Kunwu didn't look at Li Boyang anymore, but turned his gaze back to Xiluo beside him.

"Wu Yao was the best to you when she was alive, and you know what kind of future she longed for."

"If she were still alive, what do you think she would do?"

One sentence silenced Xiluo, but Kunwu still wasn't satisfied and continued.

"I simply made the choice that Wu Yao had to make. You should support me, not stubbornly oppose me."

Seeing that Kunwu's words had successfully swayed Xiluo, Li Boyang finally shook his head and spoke.

Let's stop with this moral blackmail!

"Kunwu, when did I agree to hand you over to Wu Xian?"

"And Xiluo, when have you ever seen me break a promise to you?"

Li Boyang's gaze shifted between Kunwu and Xiluo, and he sighed helplessly as if watching a joke.

"You two are seriously underestimating me, aren't you?"

"You all think I've been busy since yesterday, but what have I actually been doing?"

Before Kunwu and Xiluo could answer, Li Boyang pointed to the Purple-Gold Red Gourd floating in mid-air beside them and said...

Do you know what this is?

They looked at each other, somewhat bewildered and stunned.

Kunwu, of course, knew nothing about the Purple-Gold Red Gourd and the Elixir of Elixir of Immortality; he did not possess the ability to see Thousand-Mile Eyes or Wind-Following Ear.

Although Xiluo secretly overheard Li Boyang and Wu Peng's conversation.

However, her attention was focused on the "East Sea disaster" and the "Disaster of the Nether Spring," and she didn't think about the elixir of Elixir of Immortality for a moment.

"Xiluo, do you remember what I told you before?"

"The ultimate goal of the physical body is immortality, but there are shortcuts to achieving immortality."

Upon hearing this, Xiluo finally realized what was happening.

"Elixir of Immortality?"

"Is your gourd now filled with the Elixir of Immortality?"

Li Boyang nodded slightly and continued with a smile.

"Just like you said before, what the Great Xia needs is the Sea-Calming Cauldron), not the Totem Deity Kunwu."

"Then all we need to do is separate the Sea-Calming Cauldron and the Kunwu."

"Or to put it another way, it forces those great shamans to rely on Kunwu to control the Sea-Calming Cauldron."

"On this point, you've been misled by that old bastard Wu Xian from the very beginning."

"The initiative has never been in the hands of those great shamans; we are the ones who truly have the power to make the decisions."

When Kunwu heard Li Boyang say that, he immediately realized what was going on.

Even though Kunwu understood Li Boyang's meaning, he still couldn't figure out what the other party was planning to do.

What do you want to do?

These words were spoken by Xiluo, who was also pondering what Li Boyang planned to do.

--The Sea-Calming Cauldron is Kunwu, Kunwu is the Sea-Calming Cauldron.

Xiluo couldn't understand how Li Boyang was supposed to distinguish between them.

Do you remember what the prerequisites for becoming Heavenly Deity were?

"The biggest difference between gods and Heavenly Deity is that Heavenly Deity abandon their original bodies and transform into beings that are like natural disasters."

"Then, if Kunwu becomes Heavenly Deity, then He will naturally cease to be the Sea-Calming Cauldron)."

Upon hearing this, everyone present suddenly understood.

According to Li Boyang's theory, this is indeed feasible.

No, it should be said that this is the only way to completely solve the problem.

"Wait, if becoming Heavenly Deity is so easy, then there wouldn't be so few Heavenly Deity."

Although she already understood Li Boyang's intentions, Xiluo still noticed the crux of the problem.

"That's why we need the Elixir of Immortality."

"Although this Elixir of Immortality is not the kind of Elixir of Immortality that Wu Peng hoped for, the kind that can bring the dead back to life."

"But this is not the most original version of the Immortality Herb either; it has infinite possibilities..."

With just a gentle wave of his hand, the Purple-Gold Red Gourd fell into Li Boyang's hand.

"With just a few minor modifications, even if Kunwu can't ascend to Heavenly Deity, it will still be very difficult for him to die."

His words once again shocked everyone, even the usually composed Kunwu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"You intend to make me use this Elixir of Immortality!?"

"This is the Elixir of Immortality of Elixir of Immortality, and the only one of its kind!"

"Once you use this Elixir of Immortality, you will be able to overcome the shortcomings of your physical body and possess true immortality!"

"Isn't that the Golden Core realm you've always been pursuing!?"

Given Kunwu's status and experience, he naturally knew what Li Boyang's biggest trouble had been all these years.

Therefore, He was even more shocked that Li Boyang was willing to give up this [Elixir of Immortality] and let Him use it to break through to the level of Heavenly Deity.

To be honest, let alone Kunwu.

Anyone who knew Li Boyang's idea would feel that it was a huge waste of his talents.

After all, there are countless Heavenly Deity in the world, but there is only one "immortal" recorded from ancient times to the present - the Divine Witch Wu Xian.

Those were humans who had lived for over two thousand years, even outliving many Heavenly Deity, which shows how precious the [Elixir of Immortality] was.
