Flying Sky Stockade

"I think compared to Kunlun Guixu..."

"As expected, the Great Xia's Immortality Cauldron is still safer."

Standing on Li Boyang's shoulder, preening her wings, Xiluo was becoming more and more familiar with her current form.

"After all, no one knows exactly where Kunlun Guixu are. On the contrary, the Great Xia's Immortality Cauldron is all that's needed; we just need to find the escaped Wu Peng."

Xiluo admitted that her suggestion was partly based on personal grudge.

Who could have imagined that Wu Peng, with his Dao Heart shattered, would still be able to escape from the heavily guarded Flying Peak?

This is not only an insult, but also a slap in the face to Xiluo, the mountain god of Flying Peak.

"That's the principle, but reality is a bit different."

Li Boyang naturally saw through Xiluo's little scheme, but he just smiled dismissively.

"Don't forget, the Heaven-Eroding Lord has lost contact with us ever since he entered that Guixu."

Li Boyang not only knew about Heaven-Eroding Lord's secret following of Deception Rabbit, but also tacitly approved of it.

Under those circumstances, when Heaven-Eroding Lord followed Deception Rabbit in chasing Huoji, he was essentially acting as Deception Rabbit's bodyguard.

What Li Boyang never expected was...

In the end, the Heaven-Eroding Lord, in order to retrieve the soul of the Witch of the Huai River from the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, Gouxing, actually chased her into the Guixu.

At this point, the Heaven-Eroding Lord was completely cut off from the outside world.

Even with Li Boyang's divination skills, he could only predict an outcome that was neither good nor bad.

"Even if it's just to find him, we'll have to go to Kunlun Guixu sooner or later."

"Besides, I've already divined beforehand; besides the Immortality Herb, our trip to the Guixu might bring unexpected surprises."

At this point, Li Boyang paused slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Just from his expression, one could tell that the "unexpected joy" Li Boyang spoke of was not simple—it was an expression of careful planning and foresight.

"Even if we take a step back and say that it's the legendary Heavenly Emperor's Capital, aren't you curious about what it's like inside?"

After giving Li Boyang a warning look, Xiluo understood.

"You went there because of that 'surprise,' right?"

"That's why I hate you so-called prophets who like to keep everything secret."

Having spent so many years with Li Boyang, Xiluo knew him inside and out.

Due to his personality, coupled with his mastery of the "Nine Chapters on the Secrets of Divination" and the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron, there are very few things in this world that can be hidden from Li Boyang.

This means that once he has truly made up his mind...

That means that this matter was "inevitable" for Li Boyang, and no one could stop it.

"Hehe, I don't deny that."

With a rare, mischievous smile, Li Boyang countered with a question.

"You still haven't answered my question! Aren't you curious?"

"Your sister's remnant soul is very likely also in the Heavenly Emperor's Capital."

She blinked gently, and Xiluo revealed a very rare, deep expression.

I know what you mean.

"But I accepted the fact that my sister is dead a long time ago."

With a gentle stretch of her wings, Xiluo patted Li Boyang's head, a fleeting hint of sadness crossing her face.

"I'm not like that stupid dog; I respect my sister's choice."

Whether she was devoured by her own people or tricked by the Guhuo Bird, her death was ultimately her own choice.

"I don't understand any complicated principles, nor can I comprehend those grand ambitions you speak of."

All I know is that even if that stupid dog manages to piece together my sister's remnant soul, she will no longer be my sister.

This was the first time Xiluo had shown such a mature side, and even Li Boyang couldn't help but be taken aback.

However, upon closer reflection, this seems to be the attitude and behavior that a mountain god who has lived for over a thousand years and witnessed birth, aging, sickness, and death should have.

"More than anything, I'm curious about what you're actually looking for."

"Kunlun Guixu is the Heavenly Emperor's secret realm. What means do you have to enter it?"

Flying Sky Stockade is a very special village near the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Unlike other villages that are mostly located in flat areas, Flying Sky Stockade is a village built in a mountain valley.

The terrain is surrounded by water on all sides, with no roads or flat paths.

Only a single grappling hook connects the cliff face to the main cliff, serving as the only means of transportation for the Mountain Folk.

Before Li Boyang was born, Flying Sky Stockade had relied on this unique structure to resist many natural and man-made disasters, becoming one of the few mountain strongholds in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

This means that Flying Sky Stockade possesses a complete system of knowledge transmission.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this tradition that Flying Sky Stockade became one of the very few villages that failed to keep up with the times after Li Boyang was born.

The old-fashioned man refused to accept new things, and even more so, he did not acknowledge the prestige of the Red-Haired Ghost God.

In the eyes of the elders in the village, the so-called "Celestial Person" was nothing more than another powerful Ghost God.

For the previous thousand years, the Hundred Lands Mountain Range were not lacking in powerful Ghost God who sought to establish dominance.

The Flying Sky Stockade was established to escape a powerful Ghost God or god.

All we need to do is wait for this period of intense public attention to pass, Celestial Person will Udumbara Flower only briefly, like the ghosts and Ghost God before them, and eventually disappear into the long river of history.

Based on this knowledge and authority, no one in Flying Sky Stockade has ever practiced the Breathing Method.

No, it's not as simple as not practicing the Breathing Method.

Even the most universally applicable "Luo River Book" and "Comprehensive Basic Disease Enlightenment and Operation Manual" only appeared in Flying Sky Stockade not long ago.

You should know that these two books are truly essential "survival supplies" in today's Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Every Mountain Folk who is literate will prepare a few books in case of emergency.

In contrast, in Flying Sky Stockade, before the advent of the "Comprehensive Basic Disease Enlightenment and Operation Manual," birth, aging, illness, and death were entirely left to fate.

The person who brought these two books was not Mountain Folk, but a witch from the outside world.

She was an extremely beautiful priestess, and possessed a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that did not match her appearance.

Under the guidance of this witch, Flying Sky Stockade made good use of the mechanical principles recorded in the Luo River Book (a book of ancient China) and rebuilt a complex hook and rope system connecting the cliffs.

The grappling hook that Flying Sky Stockade initially used to connect to the outside world could only be described as a sturdy rope.

Even the strongest and most agile Mountain Folk in Flying Sky Stockade cannot guarantee that they will safely climb to the other side when using that grappling hook.

Because when traversing cliffs and precipices, the fierce winds in the canyon are the greatest challenge.

If they are not careful, the Mountain Folk will be blown down into the valley and fall into the turbulent river, with no chance of survival.

Even though it withstood the fierce winds, the hooks connecting the cliff face were not very secure.

Whether hung on a tree or nailed to a cliff, excessive shaking can cause the grappling hook to come loose or even break.

For the Mountain Folk of Flying Sky Stockade, that would be the most gruesome way to die.

If you crash your flesh and blood against a cliff and let go in time, you might at least be able to leave with a whole corpse.

If they had instinctively gripped the rope, they would have been met with a bloody, mangled mess.
