Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Chapter 23: Celestial Beast
Taoist Longshan took over the Ice Silkworm Power, read it quickly, and a look of admiration appeared in his eyes.

"This senior who created the Ice Silkworm Power is indeed a rare genius. It's a pity that he only has the first three levels. Otherwise, it would be slightly better than the several layers of power you practiced."

Hearing Taoist Longshan's evaluation, Ye Qinghe was shocked and realized that he had underestimated the Ice Silkworm Power.

I couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

But Taoist Longshan did not dwell on the ice silkworm power, but instead asked another question.

"You just said that the white ape swallowed a red fruit. Describe the characteristics of the red fruit in detail."

Taoist Longshan looked a little solemn.

Seeing him like this, Ye Qinghe did not dare to neglect and immediately described the appearance of the red fruit.

"The color is bright, the handle is dark yellow, and the whole body is round..."

Although it only took Ye Qinghe a few breaths to get the red fruit, with his memory, he was still able to remember it completely.

And the red fruit did look extraordinary.

She couldn't help but asked curiously:

"Master, do you know what this red fruit is?"

Taoist Longshan frowned slightly:

"It looks a bit like the legendary Vermilion Fruit, but the Vermilion Fruit can transform one's body and soul. If, as you said, this white ape ate more than one Vermilion Fruit, its strength must be strong. I'm afraid you may not be its opponent. It's unlikely that the red fruit is the legendary Vermilion Fruit."

"This red fruit can inspire wisdom, but the white ape's strength is only like that of an ordinary wild beast. It's really strange."

Then he shook his head.

"There are all kinds of wonders in the world. It doesn't matter what kind of wonder it is. Since this little monkey got it, it's fate. You two need to correct your mindset and not have any delusions."

Ning Qi and Ye Qinghe straightened their expressions and said respectfully:
"Thank you Master for your guidance, disciple."

The Zhenwu sect has always been like this. Its disciples are chivalrous and righteous, and do not engage in banditry, evil and murder.

Taoist Longshan nodded with satisfaction. He was very confident in the character of his disciple. He waved to the white ape.

The white ape first looked at Ning Qi nervously, and after seeing the encouragement in his eyes, he walked respectfully to Taoist Longshan, knelt down, kowtowed, and bowed repeatedly.

Taoist Longshan stroked his beard and smiled:

"It's really extraordinary spirituality."

He asked solemnly:
"White Ape, let me ask you, are you willing to join our Zhenwu sect? You must know that after joining the Zhenwu sect, you must not act recklessly or commit crimes at will!"

Taoist Longshan’s voice was deafening and extremely majestic.

The white ape was overjoyed.

It nodded repeatedly.

He was just short of saying "Disciple is willing".

Seeing that the white ape was recognized by the master, Ning Qi and Ye Qinghe smiled at each other.

Taoist Longshan looked over:

"Xiaojiu, since you brought the white ape back, let it live with you from now on so that you can take care of it."

He had a similar idea to Ye Qinghe. It was better to have such a spiritual white ape to accompany his little disciple than to practice alone every day.

"Disciple accepts the order."

"Since the little monkey has joined our Zhenwu sect, how about giving him a name?" Ye Qinghe suggested.

"Very good." Taoist Longshan nodded. "Since the white ape wants to follow Xiaojiu, then Xiaojiu will take it." Ning Qi did not refuse.

He thought for a moment, looked at the white ape and said:

"Since you are from the ape tribe, then you can take the character Yuan as your surname. You walk alone in the mountains and forests, you are unique, and you have many opportunities. You can be said to be born and raised by heaven and earth. How about calling yourself Yuan Tiansheng?"

The words fell.

Taoist Longshan and Ye Qinghe were still pondering the meaning of the name when the white ape's pupils widened in excitement. If the occasion had not been wrong, he would have already started rolling and jumping. But even so, his scratching look still betrayed his mood.

Obviously, the white ape was very satisfied with this name.

All three of them smiled.

Ning Qi suddenly said:
"I have a question for you, Master."

"This time, my disciple and Senior Sister went into the mountains and encountered many strange beasts. The strong ones could rival those in the Inner Yuan Realm, while the weak ones were not even as strong as those in the Bone Refining Realm. Why is there such a big difference in the strength of these strange beasts? Do they have any method of cultivation?"

Although the Sutra Repository also has records about strange beasts, they are not comprehensive.

Taoist Longshan glanced at the white ape, and then said:
"The origin of the strange beasts is unknown. There are only rumors. It is said that in the beginning, some beasts were favored by heaven and earth by chance. After that, they could directly use the power of heaven and earth to temper themselves, and even control the power of heaven and earth. They were called celestial beasts."

"But the cause and effect of the love between heaven and earth is too great, and it is not so easy to bear. Something seems to have happened in the middle, and it suffered a backlash, and the celestial beasts gradually disappeared."

"After this comes the era of strange beasts. It is said that all strange beasts have the blood of celestial beasts."

"Alien beasts are not as innately intelligent as us humans. Although they have a higher starting point, they are not like us humans who can practice step by step. Their path to becoming powerful is to tap into the blood of the celestial beasts in their bodies until their blood reaches its limit."

It was the first time that Ning Qi heard such a statement, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

The celestial beasts can actually use the power of heaven and earth to temper themselves directly. This starting point is much higher than that of humans. After all, humans can only resonate with the power of heaven and earth when they reach the celestial realm.

"The strength of the beast depends entirely on the strength of its bloodline?"

"That's right. For example, the Iron-armed Ape you met before can only be comparable to a Body Tempered Warrior at best, unless it has other ancient bloodlines in its body. In the Great Flame Hundred Rivers Lake, there is a Dragon King, whose bloodline is extremely top-notch. It has become a force to be reckoned with now, and even the strongest celestial beings dare not challenge it lightly."

The white ape was fascinated by what he heard, but also felt a little uncomfortable. He felt that there should be no powerful blood in his body. It was just that after eating a few red fruits, he understood more and more things.

Taoist Longshan glanced at the white ape and said:
"But logically speaking, there is no special difference between humans and other animals. The reason why humans have the way of cultivation is that generations of ancestors have tried to create it. If there are animals with great wisdom, perhaps they can also create a way of cultivation suitable for animals."

"It's just that the body structure of each animal is different, which makes it difficult."

The white ape's eyes suddenly lit up, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

Ning Qi understood it even more clearly.

It’s not that animals cannot practice cultivation, but that they don’t have the corresponding methods.

Beasts are just a general term. For example, if we want to create a method of cultivation suitable for the snakes among them, we need to have snakes with amazing intelligence to blaze a trail generation after generation, just like humans.

But just think about it and you will know how difficult it is. It is not easy for snakes to develop intelligence. It requires great wisdom and efforts from generation to generation. It may take hundreds of thousands or millions of years for the day to succeed.

Ning Qi shook his head slightly in his heart.

"However, apes are similar to humans. Even if their body structures are different, we can learn from human martial arts and make adjustments. It will be much easier."

“For me, they can also confirm each other.”

Thinking of this.

Ning Qi already had an idea. He bowed and said:
"Thank you, Master, for clarifying my doubts."

He feels that he still needs to grow. No matter how strong his understanding is, he still needs to continue to accumulate some knowledge.
