Enter the Immortal Cultivation

Nanming Snowfield is in the midst of a long sunset.

This is the Antarctic Circle in the backland of China, the eternal frozen soil of the past - remember, it was the past. A few years ago, Hierarch Hong Yuan, the reincarnated body of the "Great Lord Hong Tian" who was hidden here, was bombarded by four swords that could cut for several days. The entire Antarctic ice cap melted and turned into a tsunami that destroyed the world.

If no one takes care of it, this tsunami will sweep across the entire surface except the Kunlun Mountains. Subsequently, sea levels will rise tens of meters, submerging large amounts of land.

But it all ended as soon as it began. Back then, Fen Tianhou Kelvin used the Tian Entropy Jue to re-solidify the sea water in a very short period of time, and all the water molecules returned to crystals.

It was only a few years ago, but now, the ice surface here still retains the shape of the stormy waves back then, like sharp steel teeth growing out of the ground.

The moonlight slowly descends. Dragons are cold-blooded animals and don't like this cold environment very much. She was still in the body of a dragon and shook her head in dissatisfaction: "Why did you choose such a place? You should have many better locations, right?"

"Senior is joking." Fen Tianhou came from a noble family and was polite in every move he made. He smiled and said: "Our human race only has a small place like the back land of China, but it is not as good as the nobles who sit on the sea of ​​China and have the Tai Sui Star Ring."

Yueluo Lanxi snorted two nasal sounds - this is the dragon tribe's way of expressing "disdain" or "poof": "This small piece of land of yours is the most fertile part of the territory of the Great Sun."

"Senior, please please be considerate of the huge number of mortals in our clan." Fen Tianhou said: "Although our clan is innately enlightened, our body is weak and unlike the nobles, 99% of the population cannot be used as a fighting force. In order to To ensure the foundation of our current Immortal Way, we need to hide something from them. Nanming Snow Land is the best choice."

"The behavior of this clan is cowardly." Another voice came over. The speaker is a monster who appears with Yueluo Lanxi.

Its extremely poor Terran language at that time made people very uncomfortable. However, what makes people feel even more uncomfortable is the physical body of this creature. The whole thing seemed to be wrapped in a layer of mist. And the mist of unknown composition was dotted with countless flashes of light, like a starry sky.

However, Fen Tianhou could feel it. Whether it is fog or flashing points of light, they are actually living flesh and blood—or cells.

At the center of the large group of discrete cells is a flesh ball.

——Some of these frozen creatures were discovered in Yinghuo before. At that time, I thought that the tissues around these monsters were metabolites, similar to dandruff. I didn’t expect that they actually had functions...

Fen Tianhou muttered slightly in his heart, but smiled on the surface: "This fellow Taoist is..."

"The divine emperor under his command, the demon... the saint... Mo."

——The demon saint...the demon saint? A native creature of this planet? What kind of creature would evolve like this? Transformation product?

Fen Tianhou bowed in a friendly manner: "Fellow Taoist."

There was no reaction from that huge ball of flesh. Yueluo Lanxi gently smacked it with her tail, and then introduced: "This is the representative of the demon clan in this update, the demon with the most respected status under the demon emperor and Yinghuo's 'Three Dukes'."

"This look..."

Yueluo Lanxi explained: "This is the transformation of the renewal demon clan."

Fen Tianhou suddenly realized.

According to the ethics established by the Demon Emperor, the demon race must be able to skillfully use transformation before it can be considered mature and enter a high level. This is the origin of the word "transformation stage". Today, the Chinese continent is dominated by human civilization, and most of the land monsters take human form. But what about before the human race appeared?

There have been people who speculated that the ancient demon clan was transformed into the dragon clan. However, not to mention the Eosin Monster Clan, which has few remaining ruins, the city ruins of the New Monster Clan show that this urban design is completely unsuitable for animals with long and narrow bodies like the Dragon Clan. Even the image of a bird similar to the Demon King is not quite right.

Now, Yueluo Lanxi gave the answer directly.

It turns out that the appearance of the updated demon clan is so unique!

Yueluo Lanxi was followed by two monsters. Outside this fog, there is another creature that looks like a dragon, but it has a pair of horns and its tail fin has transformed into a monster with heavy claws.

Fen Tianhou thought at first that this was also the Dragon Clan - after all, the Dragon Clan could freely control the expression of its own bloodline, and it would not be surprising to have any traits. Maybe this kind of look is non-mainstream among the dragon clan? But the guy who updated the demon tribe reminded Fen Tianhou of the monster's true identity.

He whispered: "This must be a fellow Taoist from the Shixin Demon Clan?"

This should be the standard image of the Shixin Demon Clan’s incarnation? It seems to be deeply influenced by the dragon clan.

This "Minotaur Dragon" is actually very friendly. He purrs a few times and his voice is low and tactful, which seems to be a variation of the dragon language. Yueluo Lanxi arrived: "He hasn't had time to learn the human language yet. This fellow Taoist is called 'Di Qi', the Demon Emperor's bodyguard - according to the habits of the Shixin Demon Clan, this guy is just waiting to be the prime minister of your human race." ”

Fen Tianhou nodded: "That's polite."

Although he didn't quite understand why "guard" was equal to "prime minister", he probably knew that even this was not simple.

"In the past few days, the Demon Emperor has followed the will of the Holy Emperor and awakened a small number of the demon clan's important officials who were sleeping at first, and then selected some children who were just able to transform." Yueluo Lanxi's body shrank, and under the purple brilliance, Transformed into human form. She said: "I hope we can have a good discussion about the coexistence of several races - after all, we still have a long time."

The "Minotaur Dragon" also took the form of a human. On the contrary, the "mist" of the updated demon tribe remained motionless. Yueluo Lanxi turned her head and whistled a few times. The black mist suddenly stirred and turned into a tornado. Then, the black mist gradually disappeared, and a huge humanoid creature nearly one foot tall appeared on the ice in Nanming.

Yueluo Lanxi smoothed the long white hair beside her ears with her fingers - probably because the dragon's body does not have much melanin and she was too lazy to synthesize it: "Is this the place where we will talk later?"

"The anomalies caused by the battle a few days ago still caused a certain amount of panic among the mortals of our clan. We are still trying to eliminate the impact. Moreover, some young monsters who cannot yet transform...this is on the mainland. It’s also a bit difficult. If nothing happens, we will have no choice but to go here.”

Yueluo Lanxi nodded. Those monsters who were sent to learn human civilization were at least in the transformation stage, so they were not afraid of the cold.

The ancient and modern methods of the human race are quite different from those of the dragon and demon tribes. For the human race, the path is basically determined in the Nascent Soul and Yuanshen stages, but according to the set of cultivation methods developed by the Dragon Emperor and Demon Emperor, the demon race will not completely determine the path until the Demon God stage. Therefore, it is possible for the newly transformed demon clan to absorb things from the human race.

"If your human race is planning to open a teaching place in Nanming, then the time should be six months later, when the sun comes out." Yueluo Lanxi said: "Even the demon race likes the sun."

Fen Tianhou nodded: "Okay, let's let it be settled."

……………………………………………………

Image ends.

Feng Luoyi played the above scene of Fen Tianhou's first contact with the Dragon Clan and the Monster Clan again, and said, "What do you think?"

Mr. Wo Shen from Tianling Ridge stroked his chin gently: "Hmm... that transformation phase that renews the demon clan, is... um, a chimera? Or is it a kind of super-individual intelligence?"

Chimera is used in genetics to refer to individuals with mosaic or mixed expressions of different genetic traits. Tissues of different genotypes in this individual body are in contact with each other but live in harmony. To give a more specific example, during the embryonic period, the immune function of organisms is not completed. Some scientists can even create animal embryos mixed with plant cells.

The "pig with a human heart" that appears in science and technology news on Earth and is used for organ transplantation is a chimera.

The Lord of Heavenly Selection carefully looked at Fen Tianhou's report one by one: "'This mist-like creature has a solid meat ball in its body... Because the opponent's strength is unknown, it cannot go deep enough to determine whether there are organs in the meat ball... 'It shouldn't be the super-individual intelligence of the Poseidon type."

The soul element showed opposition: "Wait a minute, this shouldn't define chimera, right?"

Zhan Wo was stunned: "But the mist composed of cells around his body and the luminous bodies are obviously not the same expression..."

"But these discrete cell bodies rely on the essence and demonic energy to suspend and survive." Soul Yuan emphasized: "They have no direct contact and cannot be considered chimeras!"

"They should live on the water vapor or metabolic products exhaled by the 'meat ball' in the center...the same environment..."

"In the final analysis, the existing concepts should not be able to define this kind of creature..."

Feng Luoyi interrupted the debate: "Fellow Taoists, this is not a critical issue. This type of academic issue involving foreigners' practice of law, please discuss it later."

The Calculator made another start: "There are several key issues we face now. First, and most importantly, how should we respond to the demon clan's educational requirements? Should we hand over our core to them? If we want to teach , to what extent should we teach? And, what should we learn from them first?”

"In addition, the demon clan will also have experts participating in our clan's research. What position should we arrange for them? And what attitude should we face? Should we open the core part of our fairy alliance to them?"

"These are all problems. At least, we should come up with a charter..."

"Besides that." The Lord of Natural Selection also added: "I have always been curious about why the Xinxin Monster Clan chose that weird transformation posture. The Shixin Monster Clan's transformation standard is an imitation of the Dragon Clan. What about the demon clan?”

"According to previous information, during the update of the Monster Clan, the Dragon King secretly promoted and tried to reduce the influence of the Dragon Clan. He did have a reason to refuse to update the Monster Clan to imitate the Dragon Clan, but what does that weird fog look mean? ?”

"This is also something you should think about." (To be continued ~^~)
