Yet these two Divine Beasts had already crossed the one-billion mark first.
Although the gap between them and Taishang Laozi and the others wasn't very large,
the significance was entirely different.
One billion was a definite threshold.
Taishang Laozi hadn't managed to cross it.
Beast Emperor Shenni, Demon Ancestor Luohu, and the others hadn't either.
But these two Divine Beasts had already crossed it.
Perhaps it was because the minds of these two Divine Beasts were pure,
their hearts utterly untainted.
That was why their cultivation progressed so smoothly.
Even Taishang Laozi, who was said to embody serenity, inaction, and the natural workings of the Great Dao, couldn't achieve true serenity and inaction.
But these two Divine Beasts were different.
Although they had gained intelligence, they were still beasts by nature.
Beasts that hadn't taken human form had minds and thoughts far simpler and purer than those of others.
One could even say that all these years, they had consistently held fast to a sincere heart.
With such a sincere heart, perhaps cultivating through inaction was truly better than striving?
In fact, this state of inaction was what Taishang Laozi had pursued all these years.
He simply hadn't reached it yet.
But these two Divine Beasts had already attained it first.
It was undeniably astonishing.
These two Divine Beasts had not only surpassed the Three Pure Ones.
They had even surpassed the many Sages of the Heavenly Machine Tower.
That alone was enough to show just how powerful they were.
Between the two Divine Beasts, Kung Fu Panda seemed even more terrifying.
By every measure, Kung Fu Panda held the upper hand.
Especially on the Mount Ranking.
Kung Fu Panda's position was even higher.
On the current Strength Ranking,
Kung Fu Panda also held the upper hand.
