I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 81 - 37: The Five Gods Descend

The Blood Demon was never a match for the Shenxiao Sword.

With Li Boyang’s forceful persuasion and mind attacks, it quickly fell to a disadvantage.

The Black Dragon seized the opportunity and turned away without a moment’s hesitation.

Roar!

Utilizing its Soaring Clouds and Mist divine power, the flying speed of the Black Dragon, though not as fast as the Shenxiao Sword, far surpassed that of ordinary birds.

By the time the citizens of the Guifang Kingdom realized what was happening,

the figure of the Black Dragon had already vanished from their line of sight, leaving only rolling black clouds as proof of its existence.

However, at this moment, the Blood Demon had no interest in bothering with the Black Dragon.

"Am I... the Blood Evil Ghost?"

Even as the Shenxiao Sword pierced through the head of the Blood Demon, it was still grappling with its identity.

Because this was a voice from within, a communication that transcended language and words.

Along with the name "Blood Evil Ghost" entering the heart of the Blood Demon, came Li Boyang’s recognition of this title and his disdain for it.

Abandoning its identity as a human, intertwining with souls full of resentment and anger, and born from blood, a demon.

This special "Ghost Secret Technique" is indeed the foundation of the Guifang Kingdom.

But due to how brutal this secret technique is, and how it distorts understanding.

The common people of Guifang, not being priests, had no idea what it entailed.

Even You Chong, who was once a candidate for priesthood, had not touched the truth of the "Ghost Secret Technique."

Even at the moment of his own sacrifice, You Chong firmly believed he was about to become a "Ritual Artifact" for reshaping the world by the Five Directions Gods.

[Did you think you’d become the vessel for the ’Divine Descent’?]

[No, you’re just a conglomeration of resentful souls, a monster who doesn’t even know what it truly is!]

Under the blessing of the Spiritual Rhinoceros Horn, Li Boyang’s words struck at the heart, making him the nemesis of this inherently flawed Blood Demon.

Without a strong mental state, and lacking a firm self-awareness...

Li Boyang’s words successfully stirred the resentment and anger within the Blood Demon, causing its body to uncontrollably crumble.

"I hate Guifang..."

"Don’t kill me, I don’t want to become a human sacrifice..."

"No! My child! He was just born!"

"Kill them! I must avenge the people of the village!"

...

The disintegrating Blood Demon emitted different voices, all of which were the grievances of the mountain people sacrificed by the Guifang Kingdom.

Without You Chong as the core, these originally unified grievances quickly surfaced and directed their attacks towards the citizens of Guifang below.

In an instant, Cliff City turned into a bloody purgatory of wails and howls.

The separated entities, although not as powerful as the Blood Demon, were still beyond what ordinary humans could handle.

Seeing this, the priests of the Guifang Kingdom finally panicked.

Despite their arrogance and treating the mountain people outside Guifang with disdain,

they held a unique affection for their relatives and clansmen living within Cliff City.

"Quick! Stop them!"

"Bring the guards and stop those Blood Ghosts immediately!"

...

Amidst the cries of alarm, the priests scrambled down the altar, rushing towards the location of their families.

By this point, the situation had long spiraled out of the priests’ control.

Rather than continuing to observe this clash between immortals, quickly returning home to protect their kin was the most sensible choice.

This can’t even be called selfishness; it’s simply human nature.

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

"Roar!"

Unaware of the events unfolding behind it, the Soaring Clouds and Mist Black Dragon swiftly crossed hundreds of kilometers. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

To be honest, the compatibility between the Black Dragon and the [Soaring Clouds and Mist] ability far exceeded the expectations of its originator, Li Boyang.

Under Er Tu’s nimble manipulation, the Black Dragon soon caught sight of the sights of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Soon after, the Shenxiao Sword, having successfully slain the Blood Demon, flew back.

Swoosh!

The Shenxiao Sword was far faster than the Black Dragon, surpassing it in the blink of an eye.

[Why are you running so fast?]

With a slight blink of its eyes, a puzzled thought flashed through Er Tu’s mind, when Li Boyang’s voice directly echoed in its heart.

[Run quickly! Major trouble is coming!]

At this moment, Li Boyang was multitasking, without time to explain further.

Fortunately, having been with Li Boyang for such a long time, a certain mutual understanding existed between them.

Without hesitating further, it immediately accelerated and chased closely behind the Shenxiao Sword.

Rumble...

In a flash, terrifying dark clouds and storms engulfed the area.

The mountains began to tremble, rivers reversed their flow, creatures wailed as if the underworld had descended in chilling silence and cold...

Without the need for Li Boyang’s reminder, even Er Tu understood what had occurred.

This was the Five Directions Gods taking action!

As the gods worshiped by Guifang Kingdom,

the essence of the Five Directions Gods was ghost god beliefs acquired through invasion and assimilation during Guifang Kingdom’s millennia-long conquests of other tribes and nations.

Besides the Ancestral Spirit of the Guifang clan — Heaven-Howling Clan,

the other four gods in the Five Directions Gods usually just enjoyed the offerings from the Guifang Kingdom.

To explain in terms comprehensible to ordinary people, apart from the Heaven-Howling Clan, the other four gods generally don’t care much about the citizens of Guifang Kingdom.

Unless it concerns their own continuity of faith,

these other four gods typically remain as conceptual embodiments like natural phenomena, rarely intervening in the internal affairs of Guifang.

Evidently, the actions of Er Tu and Li Boyang earlier had begun to shake Guifang’s faith in the Five Directions Gods.

As a result, the Five Directions Gods, who rarely meddled in Guifang’s affairs, collectively intervened.

Those storms and lightning besides natural anomalies were proofs of those gods’ existence.

It must be noted here,

while called the Five Directions, these are not in the conventional sense of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, or any earth, fire, wind, water concept.

The Heaven-Howling Clan is the much-revered ancestor of the Guifang tribe, and the origin of other four gods is not far different from this.

In fact, even the term "Five Directions Gods" only began to take shape thirty years ago.

Before the Five Directions Gods, Guifang truly worshiped only four gods.

Thirty years ago, after the battle that destroyed the Tufang Kingdom, the fifth ghost god, Tu Fang Clan, was elevated to the divine altar in Guifang.
