Immortal Cultivation: I Am A Human Being, Not The Human Clan!

Chapter 9: The Advantage of Earthly Life

After careful consideration, Zhou Tianfeng took away all the books related to poisonous insects, poisonous flowers, poisonous plants, toxins, and various poison antidotes, including their proportions, properties, and corresponding remedies.

Now, the most urgent matter is that these things are the most useful to oneself, as one is about to embark on a journey of self-poisoning.

Having a thorough understanding of the various deadly toxins in this world is crucial for one's survival.

At the very least, one must understand the toxicity of various poisons in this world and adjust one's immunity to its optimal state.

However, Zhou Tianfeng did not overlook the formulas for several sources of great evil. Learning these things will surely come in handy.

After finding the books he wanted, Zhou Tianfeng left the library and returned to his room.

For the next half month, Zhou Tianfeng remained secluded in his room, studying various poisons. He even temporarily put aside his cultivation.

After all, once he reached the Qi Condensation stage, he would go find the Blood Shadow Ancestor to be poisoned. Before that, he must have a comprehensive understanding of various poisons.

During this half month, Zhou Tianfeng discovered some changes in himself. Firstly, his memory, or rather his brain, had become much stronger compared to when he was on Earth.

His memory was now incredibly powerful. In just half a month, he had basically read through all the knowledge about poisons, poisonous flowers, poisonous plants, and poisonous insects in the Blood Shadow Sect's library.

This included the refining, proportions, and interpretation methods of various poisonous pills, as well as the properties of various poisonous flowers, plants, and insects. He had memorized all this theoretical knowledge.

Moreover, after just one read, this knowledge was deeply imprinted in his mind and could not be forgotten.

Furthermore, all his memories from birth to the present, spanning over 20 years, appeared vividly in his mind. He could easily recall them now.

Memories he couldn't remember before, even those from when he was two or three years old, or even just born, felt as if they had happened yesterday.

And things he couldn't understand or comprehend before, such as various problems taught by teachers, he could now understand. He could vividly recall various scientific popularization programs, educational films he had watched before, and even every lesson taught by his teachers.

After coming to this world, his body had undergone a comprehensive transformation. Reflecting on all the knowledge he had acquired from birth to the moment of transmigration on Earth, Zhou Tianfeng had a bold speculation about his body.

He was evolving, and his body was making certain changes to better adapt to the environment of this world after acclimating to it.

Earth's life forms, from single-celled organisms to complex multicellular organisms, marine crustaceans, insects, rodents, reptiles, mammals, have undergone billions of years of natural selection.

The environment on Earth is not static. With the movement of the poles, the movement between planets and stars, and the movement of the Earth's crust, the environment on Earth undergoes earth-shattering changes every tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years.

This also means that if life on Earth wants to survive, it must learn to actively adapt to the environment, rather than waiting for the environment to adapt to it.

Earth's life forms must actively adapt to the current living environment. You must change according to the environment, rather than changing the environment.

If you can adapt to the current environment, then you can survive, reproduce, and grow the population.

If you cannot adapt to the current environment, you will go extinct. Survival of the fittest is that simple and brutal.

The purpose of all Earth's life forms is to survive, evolve, and reproduce in order to better survive, evade the pursuit of natural enemies, and hunt more effectively in harsh environments.

All Earth's life forms have evolved various superpowers. (I won't give examples here.)

As the current dominant species on Earth, humans began this competition of survival and evolution even in the era of ancient apes, and even eliminated more than a dozen human subspecies.

All these subspecies of humans were completely extinct by the ancestors of Homo sapiens.

Homo sapiens became the only winner in the evolution of the human species.

In the subsequent history of human evolution, the concept of survival of the fittest was firmly implemented, with the most obvious example being:

In order to survive, humans learned to walk upright. In order to survive, humans became omnivorous, learning to eat meat and plants.

In order to survive, humans shed their thick fur and evolved dexterous hands.

In order to enhance language and social interaction, and to develop the brain, the human brain became more advanced and intelligent.

In order to resist various viruses and microbial invasions, humans evolved a robust and complex immune system.

As descendants of this victorious evolution, descendants of Homo sapiens also inherited the terrifying adaptability of humans. As Earth's life forms, they possess a very terrifying adaptability.

Zhou Tianfeng clearly remembers how difficult life was when he first came to this world. Eating and breathing were extremely difficult for him.

But after adapting to this spiritual environment, his body began to undergo certain changes. The direction of these changes was to be able to absorb spiritual energy faster, better, and more stably in this world full of spiritual energy, to utilize spiritual energy more efficiently, and to survive more perfectly.

Defeat all competitors and become the ultimate winner of evolution.

However, there are still some things that Zhou Tianfeng cannot understand. From the perspective of evolutionary biology, a species may need dozens, hundreds, tens of thousands, or even millions of years to gradually adapt in order to evolve.

But for himself, in just over a year, his body has undergone earth-shattering changes. So what exactly is it? Or what reason caused his evolution?

Currently, Zhou Tianfeng has a guess, which is spiritual energy. In this world full of spiritual energy, his body began to evolve after absorbing this substance.

Moreover, Zhou Tianfeng feels that he is full of advantages in this evolution. The first Heavenly Human Race in this world, according to the ancient books he has read, was created by the ancient gods in their own image. They are an innate race, naturally close to the Dao. Even if all the Monster Race reach a high level of cultivation, they still prioritize transforming into human form.

But these first Heavenly Human Race, after being created by the ancient gods, have not changed for billions of years.

They do not have their own advantages, the advantages of Earth's life forms, the advantages of evolution.
