Longevity starts with learning

After many years, under the bronze gate, a figure who had been silent for several years in the Changsheng Sect finally emerged from the Spark Secret Realm.

He was wearing a dirty green shirt, with dishevelled hair, looking even more embarrassed, but his eyes were bright and his spirit was shining.

"True Transmission."

The cultivators in the hall bowed.

"No need for courtesy."

Chu Mu nodded slightly, took a step forward, and flew out of the stone hall in a flash. A flash of red knife light passed between the mountains and finally dissipated under the main peak of the fairy mountain.

In the fiery world, the True Transmission Palace has returned to the form of a palace, located under the fire attribute spiritual energy waterfall.

Between the palaces and pavilions, maids in the True Transmission Palace's standard robes shuttled between them, maintaining the order in this True Transmission Palace.

On the floating bridge suspended on the cliff, a golden glow surged, and the huge monster body almost occupied most of the floating bridge, and most of the monster body was covered by the waterfall pouring down.

However, at this moment, the fire attribute aura waterfall, which was originally formed by pure fire attribute aura, was in a pure gold state. The metal attribute aura in it, after aura conversion, had turned into rich and pure metal attribute aura for the sleeping giant beast to devour.

As the giant beast swallowed and exhaled aura, the violent aura also surged and lingered. Indistinctly, it seemed that a little disorder in this violent aura could be seen.

It was like the cultivation was on the verge of a breakthrough, or the disorder that had not yet stabilized after the breakthrough.

At this moment, as if it had noticed something, the giant beast's eyelids trembled, and a pair of cold beast eyes like copper bells slowly opened. When it saw Chu Mu, the coldness in the beast's eyes was like ice and snow melting, and it disappeared in an instant.

Chu Mu raised his right hand and fell on Wangcai's head. His face showed a gentle state, and his body changed. In the blink of an eye, he turned into an ordinary monster body, leaning slightly in front of Chu Mu.

A trace of divine consciousness spread like a thread, and when Wangcai was not on guard, it quickly extended to all parts of Wangcai's demon body. The current state of his spirit and energy was also reflected in Chu Mu's perception at this moment.

It took nearly a quarter of an hour for this trace of divine consciousness to be retracted. Chu Mu pondered for a moment, raised his finger, and took in a storage bag hanging between Wangcai's neck.

In his storage space, there were piles of things that were no less than his storage space.

The cultivation of monsters is difficult and slow. Although it is a fixed cognition in the world of immortal cultivation, many immortal cultivators are accustomed to attribute this reason to the blood of monsters.

But just like the spiritual roots of immortal cultivators, no matter how poor the spiritual root qualifications are, it is obviously not only the spiritual roots that restrict the cultivation of immortal cultivators.

In other words, the spiritual root qualifications and bloodline qualifications are only one of the more important factors.

For immortal cultivators, perhaps it is wealth, companions, methods and places, all of which are external factors.

As for monsters, in addition to external resource factors, their own intelligence undoubtedly accounts for a large proportion.

After all, although the inheritance of blood is almost instinctive, it is wishful thinking to rely solely on instinct to practice.

In the vast outer sea, the practice of monsters is more about killing and eating under the instinct of monsters, devouring other monsters, plundering their fortunes and taking them into their own bodies. The essence of this behavior is obviously no different from the external forces such as elixir resources relied by immortal cultivators.

Intelligence and resources are also the two most important factors that restrict the growth of monsters besides blood.

And these two factors may be quite restrictive for Wangcai at the beginning of his transformation, but as time goes by, these two factors, even the crucial blood, have undoubtedly weakened the restrictions on his practice.

For example, the most critical intelligence, Wangcai's intelligence, has almost always been the focus of his cultivation. Several well-known elixirs in the world of immortal cultivation that improve the intelligence of monsters have almost all been taken by Wangcai to improve his intelligence.

In addition, with his deliberate guidance, Wangcai's intelligence is not the same as that of others, but the difference is definitely not big.

As for the bloodline, which has been transplanted and leaped several times and has reached the heavenly level, if compared with the spiritual roots, it is difficult to be compared with the favorites of the heavenly spiritual roots, but it is definitely not inferior to the top heavenly spiritual roots.

In terms of resources, under his protection, Wangcai is obviously not lacking, and this time...

Hundreds of thousands of merits, even if only a part of them is transformed into what Wangcai needs, it is obviously an extremely huge amount of resource wealth.

Under this almost massive amount of resources, Wangcai's cultivation progress has obviously also embarked on an unprecedented fast track.

In just a few years, even though he had predicted it, Wangcai's progress in cultivation seemed to have... exceeded his expectations.

The third stage... is not far away.

Judging from this disorder, it can even be said to be within reach.

"First stabilize your cultivation, then look for a good opportunity to break through..."

Chu Mu seemed to be thinking about something. When he gave the instructions, he raised his hand and a jade slip floated in his palm. His consciousness flowed, and Wangcai's changes in spirit and energy this time were all recorded in this jade slip.

And in it, every bit of Wangcai's growth was recorded, from being just a secular beast, to the initial metamorphosis, to the complete metamorphosis and entering the immortal path, until now, everything was recorded in this jade slip.

"The third stage... the fourth stage..."

Chu Mu pursed his lips. The transformation of each stage of the monster beast is a difference between heaven and earth, but the hurdle from the third stage to the fourth stage is obviously more unusual.

The catastrophe of transformation, the same intelligence as humans.

It all lies in the hurdle between the third and fourth stages.

The importance of these two to a monster beast is naturally self-evident.

And the catastrophe of transformation involved splitting into human form and transforming into a demonic body.

According to his understanding, transforming into a human form is the golden mean. Taking the best of demons and humans, blending them into one body, you can take the form of a demon or a human. You can freely switch between the two, and you can even switch to practicing immortal skills. Law.

As for the transformation of the demon body, it is to choose not to turn into a human form at the fourth level, to continue to maintain the transformation of the demon body, to transform the demon body to the limit, and to pursue the atavistic transformation of the bloodline wholeheartedly.

Compared to transforming into a human form, the demonic body is obviously more in line with the demonic beast itself.

But according to what he knew, in today's world of immortality, the most common form of monsters in the vast sea of ​​monsters is to take human form.

From the Black Snake clan with which he has had many contacts, it is not difficult to see that today's monster beast clan also accepts many immortal cultivation civilizations in the world of immortal cultivation, and even adopts them for their own use.

Taking human form is obviously also able to better accept the wisdom and civilization of the world of immortality.

Under this change, the pure bloodline demon beast cultivation path of shedding the demon body is no longer as popular and absolutely mainstream as it was in ancient times.

Obviously, this change stems from the larger level of the monster beast group, and for an individual monster beast, it is still a difficult choice whether to transform into a human form or to shed a monster body.

As far as Wangcai is concerned, the same is naturally true for him.

The late third level is already close at hand.

Fourth level...

It is no longer an unattainable... luxury wish!

"Ancient monsters... turned into human form..."

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and as his thoughts circulated, he slowly looked at the dog lying in front of him. After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and pointed, and a trace of his soul condensed his knowledge of the third to fourth levels of monsters. The brand instantly turned into a stream of light and submerged into Wangcai's almost defenseless sea of ​​consciousness.

"Transform into a human form, or transform into a demon body, it's your choice..."

Chu Mu patted Wangcai's head and said something.

Wangcai raised his head and sobbed twice, responding to Chu Mu's instructions.

Chu Mu nodded slightly and looked around, only to see a flash of purple rays of light flashing between fiery reds, floating down from the pontoon in the blink of an eye.

Yan Qiuling bowed and said, "Gentlemen, what you ordered earlier has been revealed."

Chu Mu was slightly startled and his pupils shrank: "Is it...the soul of the dragon?"

Chu Mu asked: "How is the situation?"

"Previously, according to your instructions, a reward was placed in the sect in the name of the True Palace..."

As he spoke, Yan Qiuling bowed and bowed again, and a jade slip was suspended in the air and handed to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu took the jade slip, and a touch of spiritual consciousness penetrated into it, and it circulated a little. He frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You can arrange this matter. The required merits and spirit stones will be directly deducted from the Zhenzhuan Palace. If they are insufficient, or If you have any other special requirements, please let me know.”

"In addition, continue to offer rewards. If you have any other news, remember to report it in time..."

"I understand."

Yan Qiuling responded, and then said: "Zhenzhuan, during the period of your retreat, there are several real people in the sect who have invited you, and there are also many elders..."

"Push it first."

Chu Mu waved his hand and gave a few instructions before walking into the attic on the side of the pontoon.

The door is closed, the formation ban circulates, and you are isolated from the world again.

Chu Mu raised his hand and in a flash, dozens of jade boxes appeared in front of him.

With the roll of his sleeves, the seals of the dozens of jade boxes were all opened, each jade cover was suspended, and the many treasures displayed in the jade boxes also appeared in his field of vision.

Ten of the jade boxes were all spiritual materials needed for his An Gong Creation Pill, and the last jade box contained the soul of a heavily banned dragon.

Chu Mu closed his eyes slightly, and a touch of spiritual consciousness penetrated his dantian. The ancient pagoda suspended in the sea of ​​​​Dharma in his dantian was also clearly included in his perception.

Jiulong Prison, now, one dragon is gained, but eight dragons are missing...

After sensing for a long time, Chu Mu slowly withdrew his perception. With a slight movement of his fingertips, he held the jade slip presented by Yan Qiuling in his palm. A touch of consciousness flowed, and the information in it was once again included in his perception.

As early as when he first returned to the Changsheng Sect, he arranged for Yan Qiuling to place a reward on the dragon's soul in the Changsheng Sect's merit system in the name of his true successor.

Rewards are being offered for both clues and the dragon soul itself.

Such bounties are naturally not unusual. Within the Changsheng Sect, most of the countless various tasks originate from the disciples, elders, and even Yuanying Great Masters of the Changsheng Sect. able.

The rewards for every mission are basically all the disciples of the Immortality Sect.

The same is naturally true for his bounty on the dragon soul.

And this jade slip records what he has earned from this reward over the past few years.

Among them, there is news about the soul of the dragon, and there is also news about the appearance of the fire-attribute dragon, and there is even news about someone possessing the soul of the fire-attribute dragon...

After thinking for a moment, Chu Mu pondered for a moment. With a roll of his sleeves, all the objects in front of him, except for the spiritual materials needed to refine the An Gong Creation Pill, were buried in the storage space.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. After about a quarter of an hour, he slowly opened his eyes.

But at this moment, he... was determined.

…
