Longevity starts with learning

Roar! Roar!

The demons roared continuously, and the disgusting smell of blood even dyed the cage red.

When Chu Mu stepped into it, what came into his eyes were one after another of strange and ferocious demons.

Chains hung down from the sky, tightly imprisoning each demon in the cage.

However, compared with the third- and fourth-level demons in the secret realm, the demons imprisoned and suppressed in this cage were much inferior.

Looking around, there were dozens of demons in this open-air cage. The highest cultivation was only in the late second level, and most of them were only first-level existences.

And...

Chu Mu stopped in front of a demon.

The demon was about three feet tall, with blood-red gullies all over its body, just like dry bark all over its body. Its eyes were scarlet, but there was no clarity at all, full of strong brutality and bloodlust.

Under the perception of the divine sense, this brutality and bloodthirstiness is even clearer, and there is no trace of spiritual intelligence at all.

And this is not a special case. The dozens of demons imprisoned in this cage are all so brutal and bloodthirsty without exception, and there is no trace of spiritual intelligence.

Looking at these imprisoned demons, Chu Mu's heart can't help but feel a little heavy.

You know, these demons were all living people not long ago, and they were still people who had not been corrupted by demons!

According to Gong Shanhong, after the demon catastrophe broke out, after the initial chaos, he began to gather disciples of his sect and recruit scattered cultivators who had not been corrupted by demons.

After several days of fierce fighting, some terrifying clues also appeared.

Some cultivators who were obviously captured by demons, after a day or two, not only were not devoured by demons, but turned into demons and appeared on the battlefield.

At the beginning, Gong Shanhong didn't care, thinking that these demons were hiding among people, but they had not been exposed before.

But what he didn't expect was that this strange phenomenon became more and more common in the past ten days. Any cultivator captured by demons would turn into demons after one or two days.

And these demons were completely different from the first batch of demons exposed.

The first batch of demons exposed, without exception, all had sound minds, complete memories and emotions, and were generally middle and high-level cultivators.

And these demons, like pure beasts, only had bloodthirsty and violent instincts, without any spiritual intelligence, and were generally low-level cultivators.

Obviously, there is a huge difference between these two kinds of demons.

The relationship between the two is not difficult to guess.

After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, there are not a few beings with the ability to erode and transform their species.

For example, zombies can use corpse poison to transform the eroded creatures into zombies of the same kind and be controlled by them.

For example, the existence of Yin ghosts can also use the mysteries of souls to corrode and transform living beings, turning them into resentful souls and being controlled by them.

There are also many monsters with similar magical powers, such as the famous tiger, which can use magical powers to transform living beings into ghosts and be controlled by them.

But this kind of transformation is also without exception, and it is difficult to retain the memories and cultivation of the transformed person before his death.

Even if a Jindan real person is transformed, at most a very small part of his power before his death is retained. If you want to completely retain his power before his death, it is not this kind of transformation, but involves the immortal skills of the immortal world.

For example, the corpse puppet he once refined involved a lot of mysteries and complexities, and the resources required were countless.

Although the refined corpse puppet retained its original power, or even better, it was ultimately just a dead object, with extremely limited potential. It was almost impossible to grow again!

According to what Gong Shanhong said, these transformed demons did not have these defects.

Although they have no intelligence, these demons can grow by devouring living beings.

For example, the late second-stage demon in front of him was in the middle of the second stage before his death. In just a few days, he devoured a large number of living beings and broke through to the late second stage.

Moreover, although this type of demon does not have intelligence and is purely animalistic, it is also under the control of the former type of demon...

"In other words, the former is the first generation of demons, which is derived from the 'other self', and the latter is the second generation of demons, which is infected and transformed by the first generation of demons and is controlled by the first generation of demons..."

"Moreover, the first generation of demons has intelligence, and the second generation of demons does not have intelligence. They are purely animalistic instincts, but they also have the potential for growth..."

"Does that mean that when the second generation of demons grow to a certain limit, they will also have intelligence, other self?"

Chu Mu was thoughtful, raised his hand and clenched it, and the heavy chains that imprisoned this demon instantly broke.

In an instant, a spider-web-like spiritual power net enveloped the still roaring demon.

The spiritual consciousness flowed, invading the demon's body bit by bit, flesh, bones, Dantian meridians, and even the sea of ​​consciousness...

Every detail was visible, and everything was sensed.

After a long time, Chu Mu slowly put down the demon that had lost its life.

Holding a jade slip in his palm, Chu Mu's spiritual consciousness flowed, recording the information he had seen bit by bit.

The so-called demon is naturally not a fabricated falsehood.

The demon is a demon beast, and the demon is a real demon.

The two should have been completely different species, but under the evolution of the sky, they evolved into a brand new species.

To explain it more simply, the demons in front of us, or in other words, these me-and-hers in human skin, are demonized beasts!

This point was clearly proved by the ancestor of the Wang family.

And the demons in front of us undoubtedly confirmed this conclusion again.

Demons are beasts that have been corroded by the true demon energy.

The only uncertainty is the blood of the demons.

The blood of these demons...

Chu Mu looked at the other demons here, and after a little look, he seemed to have some understanding.

Judging from the changes in the demons in the secret world, there are not a few types of demons.

The demons in front of us also confirmed this conclusion again.

However, just like they are a combination of demons and monsters, their blood seems to be a combination as well.

Strictly speaking, it was like a variety of monsters and true demon blood mixed together to form a kind of...

"An unprecedented new race?"

Chu Mu frowned slightly, and with a touch of spiritual light, he stopped in front of each monster and peeked. One by one, different information also confirmed his guess bit by bit.

Finally, when the last monster finished peeping, Chu Mu looked at the jade slip in his hand again.

His conclusion did not seem to be wrong.

The so-called monsters are a mutated race mixed with many monsters, true demon blood, and even humans. A brand-new race that has never appeared in the history of the immortal world at least.

The core of this monster race is obviously the sacred beast of the sky. After all, if there is no unknown mystery of the evolution of the sky, this kind of monster blood of the hybrid body cannot be so perfect at birth, even perfect!

You know, most of the monster blood in the immortal world have gone through countless years of survival of the fittest before gradually taking shape.

Each kind of abnormal bloodline is a product of the combination of time, place and people. Until now, it is difficult for the world of immortal cultivation to artificially create abnormal bloodlines.

Not to mention the large-scale evolution of this kind of hybrid demon bloodline...

In the world of immortal cultivation, this is simply impossible to accomplish, completely beyond the limit of the immortal system of the world of immortal cultivation, and even completely beyond cognition and understanding!

"Monsters can be transformed into demons, and humans can also be transformed into demons, which means that demons should also be able to be transformed into demons..."

"Does that mean that as long as the core of the demon bloodline is determined, that is, the unknown power of heaven, demons can be identified?"

The last guess was branded on the jade slip, and the haze in Chu Mu's heart seemed to be a little thicker.

The existence of demons has become clearer.

But the clearer it is, the more you can perceive the horror.

There is no doubt that after countless years, the catastrophe that has come again is completely different from the ancient sand-tailed scorpion catastrophe.

In ancient times, it was the mother of the sand-tailed scorpion that evolved from the sky. Although it also evolved into a new race, the catastrophe of the sand-tailed scorpion was due to a head-on confrontation.

And this time, the demon race evolved from the sky, standing on the human race, and the demon evolved into demons, hiding in the human and demon races. What they did was to occupy the magpie's nest, a confrontation between the light and the dark, and a terrifying enemy that was difficult to distinguish!

More insidious, and more difficult to resist!

"The demon race should have more subdivided bloodlines..."

"Different demon races should have different powers..."

"I just don't know if those who have turned into demons can turn back into human form or demon form..."

"If they can, it means that the demon race is not just a demon race. They can also switch between the demon's true body and the original race. Coupled with his perfect spiritual memory, the threat will be even more terrifying..."

"The enemy is in the light and in the dark..."

Chu Mu sighed softly, hoping that he really found a way to identify demons, otherwise...

"Where are the three demon golden pills?"

After a moment, Chu Mu turned his head and looked at Gong Shanhong who was serving on the side and asked.

"Your Majesty, the three demons should be in Chongxiao City, Xifeng Fort area."

"Since the demons appeared, they have been keeping an eye on the disciples and other Taoist friends."

"As long as the disciples show up to suppress the demons, they will come out to stop them. Other low-level demons will plunder everywhere, killing the disciples of our sect and the independent cultivators in the Yanyun Mountains."

"The disciples have observed closely, and the captured cultivators are also detained in the city occupied by the demons..."

"The demons are powerful, and the disciples' cultivation is weak, and it is difficult to match them. In addition, the demon catastrophe is sudden, and people are panicked. The disciples can only defend the city, gather the disciples of our sect, and wait for the support of the sect..."
