"Kong Lan, your cultivation speed is astonishingly fast!" Qin Yu exclaimed.
Kong Lan modestly replied, "Master, it was merely luck. A Divine Beast's rank represents its talent. As a mid-level Divine Beast, I spent nearly a hundred thousand years cultivating from a Level 8 Heavenly Demon to a Level 9 Demon King. It is nothing worth boasting about."
Immortal Emperor Niyang had indeed died nearly a hundred thousand years ago.
"Don't say that. Aren't there spiritual beasts in the first level of the Myriad Beasts Atlas that have remained at the Level 7 Heavenly Demon stage for a hundred thousand years?" Qin Yu said with a smile.
Kong Lan immediately said, "Those fellows lack ambition. They believe that the lower their cultivation is, the less likely Master is to use them. Thus, they do not spend much time cultivating, so their progress is naturally slow!"
"Oh."
It was Qin Yu's first time hearing such an explanation.
The lower their cultivation, the less likely their master would use them, and because of that, they refused to cultivate.
"Big Brother Kong Lan is right. Quite a few spiritual beasts do think that way, but even more spiritual beasts do not want to remain in the Myriad Beasts Atlas for their entire lives. They also wish to venture into the outside world. The higher their cultivation, the more opportunities Master will have to use them. That is why more spiritual beasts diligently cultivate," Tan Meng explained.
Qin Yu smiled faintly.
"Good, good. If every spiritual beast cultivated diligently and all the beasts in the first level of the Myriad Beasts Atlas ascended to the second level, then when I first opened the first level, wouldn't there have been no spiritual beasts for me to use?" Qin Yu said with a laugh.
Kong Lan,
