I can understand what the furry creatures are saying, and I've become the number one beast tame

What's wrong with Chapter 58? It's so hard to guess!
Could this woman have already reached the legendary level of cultivation?!
The Heart-Eating Worm Ancestor could never have imagined that Nan Ran had only recently entered the Golden Core stage and couldn't even mobilize a tiny bit of spiritual power.

After much thought, the only reasonable explanation it could come up with was that this woman's cultivation level was more than one level higher than its own!
The fact that she could remain unfazed by its spiritual roar suggests that, while it may not have used its full strength, the greater reason is likely that this woman was simply unafraid of its cultivation pressure.

Although the Heart-Eating Insect Clan is an invincible force on the Beast Continent.

However, they are subject to the constraints of the natural order and have a limited lifespan.

Unless one's cultivation has reached a certain level and one has glimpsed some of the secrets of heaven, one can continue to survive.

Most heart-eating worms will molt into larvae when they reach a certain age.

After metamorphosis, the female hearteater will quickly lay eggs.

The male heart-eating worms will die immediately.

Most female heartworms die when their eggs reach the embryonic stage and are about to hatch.

In order to prolong their lives and seek the path to immortality, female heart-eating worms usually find three to five mates and lay eggs multiple times at different times.

If one can break through the limitations of the Heavenly Dao while nurturing the Heart-Eating Worm eggs, one can continue to pursue the Great Dao of Immortality and become an ancestor of a clan.

Just like it, it has already reached the ultimate realm of immortality...

According to human cultivation levels, this is the seventh stage of the Void Transformation realm, which is already considered top-tier in the Beast Continent.

After all, the next level is the Tribulation Transcending stage.

That level of cultivation only exists in legends.

I have heard that the Great Emperor of the Human Race and the Demon Lord of the Demon Race have already gained insights into the half-step Tribulation Transcending Realm, but whether it is true or not is still unknown.

Even if it's true, a half-step Tribulation Realm cultivator is still not a true Tribulation Realm cultivator.

The Heart-Eating Worm Ancestor actually preferred that Nan Ran possessed some rare and precious treasures that could withstand the pressure of the Void Transformation Realm.

But it had already thoroughly examined Nan Ran from head to toe.

There were no traces of rare and precious herbs on Nan Ran's body...

She doesn't even have a single spatial artifact of any value.

The most expensive item on her body was probably the jade bracelet that looked to be of decent quality.

Judging from its color, it is a very good Lingbao Jadeite, mostly taken from deep within the Lingshi mine.

The forging process is also quite good.

However, such a thing was still far too insignificant in front of its ancestor, who possessed such cultivation.

As for that so-called multifloral honey essence... the Heart-Eating Worm Ancestor looked down on it even more.

After looking him over, it could only see one word in Nan Ran – poverty!

Nan Ran had no idea that he had already been scanned like an X-ray by the ancestor of the Heart-Eating Worm.

She was delighted and harvested another batch of insect paste.

I've already started imagining how happy that little smug Flame Lion will be to see so many snacks for it.

Who knows, even in my dreams at night, I might awkwardly mutter to myself, "[Human~ Meow loves you~ Meow loves you so much~]"
Just thinking about it makes me feel so satisfied!
After the Heart-Eating Insect Clan launched a combined attack, they still failed to harm Nan Ran in the slightest, which further convinced the Heart-Eating Insect Ancestor that this woman was definitely not simple!
It immediately became much more cautious.

"Human cultivator, what brings you to the territory of my Heart-Eating Insect Clan?"

Since we can't win, why not try to make peace?

If Nan Ran's request isn't excessive... the Heart-Eating Worm Ancestor has heard that some human cultivators enjoy contracting with demonic beasts to assist in their cultivation and fight together!
The Heart-Eating Worm is invincible on the Beast Continent, making it an excellent helper for combat and defense.

There are countless beast tamers who want to contract the Heart-Eating Worm.

However, the Heart-Eating Worm attacks its own kind in the same way.

For an ordinary beast tamer to attempt to contract a Heart-Eating Worm is tantamount to suicide.

Those beast tamers with high cultivation levels who might have a way to suppress the Heart-Eating Worms would mostly not take the risk of choosing them as their pets.

Heaven gave the Heart-Eating Worm a good suit of armor, but it also didn't forget to add many restrictions to it.

The biggest limitation is its limited lifespan. Adult Heart-Eating Worms, if they cannot break through the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao, have a maximum lifespan of only fifty years.

Fifty years is no different from a mayfly among monsters that live for tens of millions of years.

That is it, now considered to be among the top cultivation levels on this continent... yet its lifespan is at most eight hundred and eighty-eight years.

If one cannot break through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm at the age of eight hundred, then this life will be over.

Humans, other demon races, and monsters of the same cultivation level, even those who have just reached the half-step into the Void Transformation Realm, have at least several thousand years of lifespan and can slowly comprehend the secrets of immortality.

In other words, even if you successfully contract the Heart-Eating Worm by taking a great risk, and after cultivating it for only a few years, you might not even get to enjoy the cultivation feedback it brings... before the Heart-Eating Worm runs out of lifespan and dies.

Training, training, training in vain.

The Heart-Eating Insect Ancestor suspected that Nan Ran had come to contract with its insect clan as demonic pets.

Normally, a human cultivator with a sound mind wouldn't choose to contract and cultivate such a "futile" demonic pet.

The ancestor of the Heart-Eating Worm discovered that it couldn't fathom Nan Ran's true nature.

Surely Nan Ran isn't mentally unstable?
So there must be something else going on?

The ancestor of the Heart-Eating Worm, with its chubby worm face, suddenly became much more serious.

Its tiny, bean-sized worm eyes swept across the little fat worm.

If Nan Ran's trip was only for the purpose of forming a contract with a demon pet... then that would be easy to resolve.

The little fat worm inexplicably felt a chill on its back.

It kicked its legs a few times half-heartedly, having lost even the passion for a death struggle.

I'm tired, whatever.

Squeeze it if you want.

Nan Ran was happily counting the insect sauce when she realized that she had collected quite a lot, and the quality of the sauce was very good!

That's enough for at least two meals.

"...Oh, I'll come pick up the caviar myself (bushi)."

She blurted out what was on her mind without thinking.

Realizing his mistake after saying it, he chuckled twice to cover his embarrassment and corrected himself, "Fire Spirit Essence, yes, Fire Spirit Essence!!"

Nan Ran thought and thought, and finally remembered what the original name of this "caviar" was.

"Fire Spirit Essence?"

Just for this?
The Heart-Eating Worm Ancestor hesitated for a moment, seemingly having some doubts about the worm's existence.

Although the essence of fire spirit is very useful for improving the cultivation of fire-type cultivators, its usability is quite limited.

Especially... once it reaches a realm where Nan Ran's cultivation is even higher than its own, it shouldn't need those low-level fire spirit essences, right?

The Heart-Eating Worm's ancestor became increasingly suspicious of Worm Life. Could it be that it had been wrong before, and that Nan Ran had not actually reached the legendary level of cultivation, but rather—had no cultivation at all?!

How can it be!

It realized then that its idea was utterly absurd.

If Nan Ran didn't have cultivation, how could she have so easily neutralized the special toxins wrapped around the Fire Spirit Essence?
At this moment, the Heart-Eating Worm Ancestor even felt that Nan Ran was probably not only at the legendary level of cultivation, but also a very powerful pharmacist!

More likely, it's the kind of constitution that's immune to all poisons!

Moreover, Nan Ran did not exhibit any characteristics of someone who cultivated fire-based techniques.

If he is a pharmacist, he is more likely to be a wood-elemental cultivator.

What's wrong?
So hard to guess...

Evidence suggesting the author went crazy from raising cats.
