Divine Beast
"No wonder Ying Wuqing was able to cultivate into a war god by relying on this Chaos True Demon Body."
Gu Jinlai, people have put down the Chaos True Demon Body they held.
The most significant characteristic of the Chaos True Demon Body compared to the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method is its vastness.
The ocean embraces all rivers!
The power they absorbed was not limited to the Essence Blood of Demonic Beasts.
Other things, such as Spiritual Qi, heavenly materials and earthly treasures and blood of ferocious beasts, are all within their scope of absorption and refinement.
It is precisely because they are not limited to the Essence Blood Demonic Beasts, and because of the neutralization of other spiritual objects, that those who cultivate the Chaos True Demon Body can live for more than ten years.
However, the energy contained within the body is too mixed and chaotic. No matter how advanced the Cultivation Method is, it is ultimately impossible to digest and refine all of the energy.
Just like a person eating, no matter how healthy or how good their appetite, if they have no dietary restrictions and eat everything, they will eventually get an upset stomach.
"Compared to the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method, which is limited to Demonic Beasts, the Chaos True Demon Body is much more sophisticated. Moreover, it can even store the things it absorbs and refines in its body, nurture a bloodline, and then strengthen this bloodline to its extreme, eventually evolving into Divine Ability."
People Gu Jinlai have been amazed by this.
The Chaos True Demon in his hand had notes on it, and he even gave a few examples.
Their leader should be ruthless, refining all sorts of ferocious beast flesh, Demonic Beasts Essence Blood, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures to nurture a ferocious beast called the Leech King.
This ferocious beast possesses extremely strong regenerative abilities. Ying Wuqing survived several near-death experiences thanks to this characteristic.
Moreover, this bloodline grants the ferocious beasts astonishing flexibility and elasticity, allowing them to often strike their targets unexpectedly.
Like Ying Wuqing, who is about three meters tall, he can stretch himself to seven or eight meters, and his arms can also extend to three or four meters.
It can even use strangulation techniques on targets like a giant python.
He once strangled a small, high-ranking Demonic Beasts to death using this method.
The same goes for Zhao Wuyai.
He nurtured a ferocious beast called Black Beak within his body by constantly consuming all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures and flesh.
This ferocious beast possesses astonishing defensive capabilities and vitality.
Thanks to this bloodline, his combat power is no less than that of a high-ranking Demonic Beasts who has cultivated a defensive, immortal demonic body.
"Compared to Demonic Beasts warriors, the path taken by the Demon God Sect should be called bloodline warriors."
Gu Jinlai.
Only...
The path of a bloodline martial artist is not easy.
Like Zhao Wuyai, his body was clearly out of shape.
Most members of the Demon God Cult possess characteristics similar to those of ferocious beasts, with some even being half-human and half-beast.
This is also why the Demon God Cult is considered one of the ten major sects of the demonic path.
In reality, their actions are only directed at Demonic Beasts; they often harm innocent people simply because they cannot control themselves.
However, this cannot be used as an excuse for them to whitewash their actions.
The fact that the Demon God Cult belongs to the Ten Sects of the Demonic Path will not change because of their motivations.
"In this world, besides the naturally growing ferocious beasts and sea monsters, there are also spirit beasts cultivated by celestial masters, as well as... divine beasts that are favored by heaven and earth and possess immense power."
This Gu Jinlai.
Ferocious beasts are devoid of intelligence; they are powerful, mutated wild animals, with only a very few reaching a level comparable to high-ranking Demonic Beasts.
Sea monsters refer to those large, mutated creatures in the ocean. Due to the influence of their living environment, their growth potential can reach the level of Demonic Beasts king.
As for spirit beasts...
The Heavenly Dragon Wood falls under the category of spirit beasts.
Even the Void Beast is, to some extent, a type of spirit beast.
It evolved into a powerful weapon of war through repeated spiritual evolution by the Celestial Master.
And mythical beasts...
They could be called an intelligent race.
Each divine beast even possesses a special ability called "memory inheritance," which allows them to analyze information from their own genes and gain abundant wisdom and memories. Humanity's vision and knowledge are simply no match for those of innate divine beasts.
These naturally born divine beasts, favored by heaven and earth, are often extremely powerful.
The "true immortals" that cultivators have traditionally believed to have attained through cultivation by simulating mythical beasts.
The materials used by the owners of the Qiankun Ring Gu Jinlai are the remains of the divine beast "Shen" after its death.
The reason why divine weapons like the Celestial Sword, Heart of the Stars, Void, Light, and World Sword have the word "divine" in their names is because their main material is made from the remains of divine beasts.
Therefore, divine weapons possess spirits, life, and thoughts.
In some cases, divine weapons can be regarded as a kind of man-made mythical beast.
"The reason why the Heavenly Emperor, the Beginningless True Person, and others were able to become so powerful was because they gained the recognition of divine weapons. These divine weapons, which were essentially artificial divine beasts, passed on some of the memories that originally belonged to divine beasts to their weapon masters. They were like personal grandfathers who taught them cultivation, allowing them to cultivate to an unbelievable level and regard experts of the same level as nothing..."
This Gu Jinlai.
Everyone who receives a divine weapon as their master has the right to become a protagonist in the world.
Pity...
Getting a divine weapon to recognize its master is not an easy task.
For those top experts, the successor to the divine weapon is not chosen from among their disciples, but rather whoever the divine weapon chooses will be regarded as a disciple and nurtured with all their might.
For ordinary people, the fortuitous opportunity for a divine weapon to recognize its master is essentially equivalent to ascending to heaven in one step.
"I think I've figured out the next direction for the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Technique's evolution."
Gu Jinlai.
He thought of the methods by which the Celestial Person and Demonic Beasts kings fought against each other.
The power of heaven and earth.
Divine Ability.
Especially Divine Ability. Whether one is Celestial Person or Demonic Beasts king, having Divine Ability and not having them are two completely different concepts.
The word "divine" in Divine Ability originally referred to powerful killing moves created by cultivators imitating the innate abilities of divine beasts.
In other words, mythical beasts are the source of all Divine Ability.
Of course, some Divine Abilities have been modified by countless humans over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and have long surpassed their predecessors. However, as innate divine beasts with inherited memories, the Divine Ability abilities they possess can only be described as incredible.
"The Chaos True Demon Body nourishes a bloodline with numerous nutrients... and uses this bloodline to suppress the rebellion of other bloodlines. Therefore, as long as this bloodline is strong enough, it can break through the shackles and evolve from a ferocious beast into a divine beast..."
Even without using Qingguang, people Gu Jinlai have been able to connect the two.
Just thinking about the ferocious beasts whose growth ceiling is only at the level of Great Demonic Beasts, and how even True Immortals on Earth have to seek inspiration from divine beasts to comprehend the Dao Fruit of True Immortality...
The gap seems quite large.
"We can only proceed step by step. First, we need to acquire a trace of the divine beast's power to generate Divine Abilities. If a demon god warrior possesses Divine Abilities like Celestial Person or Demonic Beasts king, he might be able to compete with them."
The Way of the Heart, from Gu Jinlai.
If the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method is to follow the path of the Chaos True Demon Body, the most suitable innate divine beast is...
His first thought was of the Great Sun and the Golden Crow.
Unfortunately...
He had never heard of the name of this innate divine beast.
Among the many ancient texts he consulted were records of innate divine beasts such as Liu Xiang, White Tiger, Suanni, Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, Huashe, Qilin, Azure Dragon, Qiongqi, Bai Ze, Xuanwu, Bifang, Bashe, and Chongming Bird, among others.
But the Golden Crow...
No.
"According to ancient texts and legends, there are 128 kinds of innate divine beasts with names. However, less than half of these 128 kinds of innate divine beasts have been confirmed to exist. More than half of them exist only in legends because they are too mysterious. Such as Zhulong, Chaos, Kunpeng, Dijiang, Yinglong and so on."
Even though the Golden Crow isn't mentioned among the legendary mythical beasts, who knows if it's because these mythical beasts haven't appeared yet?
The number of 128 mythical beasts was gradually added and supplemented over tens of thousands of years.
"No rush. Let's take another look at that Celestial Immortal True Explanation, which points directly to the True Immortal of the Land. If the Celestial Immortal True Explanation can inspire me and give me some insights, that would be even better."
Gu Jinlai, they have been quietly digesting and comprehending the insights gained from the true body of the Chaos Demon.
Time flows on.
On the last day before the start of the Divine Sword Tournament, the members of the Earth Mother Cult arrived late.
However, unlike other forces Celestial Person did not arrive, the Earth Mother Cult was extremely high-profile.
Not only did Gaia, revered as a deity in the religion and known as the Earth Mother, arrive, but she also brought many elites with her.
There are sixteen Primordial Spirit True Lord alone.
Although it cannot compare to the Palace of Immortals, its power is enough to make anyone take notice.
Especially before the Earth Mother Goddess Cult arrived, the Purple Cloud Sword Sect, which had arrived several hours earlier, also sent four Primordial Spirit True Lord.
Among them was Mu Yun, the eldest disciple of Sword Master Yi Yun and the next Sword Master of the Purple Cloud Divine Sword. This led everyone to speculate whether the Earth Mother Goddess Sect and the Purple Cloud Sword Sect were prepared to fight against the Earth Immortal Palace and the Human Immortal Palace.
Soon, this conjecture, Gu Jinlai, was confirmed.
Gao Lun, the leader of the Earth Mother Goddess Cult, conveyed through Lu Zhanxian the cult's determination to stand together with Lingxiao City, Purgatory Sect, Cold Moon Sect, and Yellow Spring Sect, in order to prevent the Earth Immortal Palace and Human Immortal Palace from joining forces to swallow up the seven major forces in one fell swoop.
The cult leader even subtly hinted that they had already made contact with the Imperial Preceptor, Taiyuan.
If the Earth Immortal Palace and the Human Immortal Palace dare to use force against them, they wouldn't mind inviting wolves into their house and fighting the Earth Immortal Palace and the Human Immortal Palace to the death.
This has never been rejected throughout Gu Jinlai.
Their greatest threat in the Divine Sword Tournament is the Earth Immortal Palace and the Human Immortal Palace.
Several hours later, the time came for the Divine Sword Tournament to officially begin.
The experts from the seven major sects, including the Human Immortal Palace and the Earth Immortal Palace, arrived at the largest palace of the Human Immortal Palace at the same time.
It was at this time that Gu Jinlai met Wu Tiandi, the master of the Human Immortal Palace.
A middle-aged man who looked ordinary and could easily be lost in a crowd.
However, given his nickname "The Butcher," no one would dare to treat him as an ordinary person.
As he was sizing up Wu Tiandi, this peak Celestial Person also sensed something, turned around, and smiled and nodded at him.
Before they could greet them further, a rather robust-looking man dressed in a blood-red robe strode out from the inner hall and, without a word, placed a book on a high platform in the hall.
"Gentlemen, I know you are quite wary of me, thinking that I convened the Divine Sword Conference to devour all the sects, but you underestimate my power, Di Luo."
As the man in the blood-red robe spoke, under the expectant and speculative gazes of the crowd, he gestured with his hand. "This is the true explanation of the Celestial Immortal, please take a look."
