The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 430 Eighty-One Transformations, The Golden Toad's Secret Report

"Three hundred and sixty million years..."

After much deduction, Luo Zu finally came to a conclusion.

This fraction is more than ten thousand times his current age.

Luo Zu could already imagine how difficult it was to master the eighty-one transformations.

As Luo Zu's mind began to work, he recalled an amusing incident from his past life.

There is a martial arts novel called "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill". To master its highest level, it takes more than 8,000 years.

Of course, it takes a very long time for those who are dull-witted, but for those who are naturally gifted, it is much easier to reach this level, like the Golden Wheel Monk.

The same principle applies to Luo Zu's Nine-Nine Profound Technique, but the 360 ​​million years is calculated based on his talent. If someone is dull-witted, even entering the field would be difficult.

However, this place is the primordial wilderness, and apart from those mindless ferocious beasts, most creatures are actually quite talented.

However, there are differences in natural talent; the high-achieving ones are like the heavens, while the low-achieving ones are like dust. Many such differences are enough to discourage many living beings.

After all, cultivation truly depends on aptitude; if one lacks aptitude, one may not be able to seize opportunities even when they come.

The aptitude of the prehistoric human race was quite good, but Luo Zu was very observant, and the Upper Caveman tribe also collected a lot of data and studied the changes in the aptitude of the human race's descendants.

Although the number of generations of humans has been negligible, their natural talent has actually been declining. If the talent of the third to eighteenth generations of humans was the highest, and there was not much difference, then after the 108th generation, there was a "significant" difference compared to these three generations. At least in Luo Zu's view, the difference was huge.

Although this difference may not cause a major qualitative change in this day and age, it will lead to many changes in the practice of certain Taoist methods, in the understanding of thought, and in the physical sensations.

Luo Zu was worried that such changes would cause humanity to fall into the "end of Dharma" on its own, rather than being caused by the environment.

Of course, this situation also occurs among other races.

Therefore, Luo Zu searched for multiple races and compared them one by one, spending three years of the primordial era and six hundred years of the myriad heavens of the heart sea, and then the conclusion was reached.

Living beings consume the spiritual energy of the world, causing the spiritual energy to decline, and the declined spiritual energy then causes their offspring to lose their natural talents.

This is something that Luo Zu could only accomplish in the myriad heavens of the Heart Sea; it would be difficult to do in the primordial world.

After all, the spiritual energy in the primordial world is extremely fluid. Without even needing Luo Zu to urge it, spiritual energy from other regions will flow into the areas where spiritual energy has already been consumed, replenishing the energy there. Thus, the degradation of spiritual energy naturally slows down.

Moreover, high above the heavens, in that ancient starry sky, the Zhou Tian Star Array continues to operate, transforming the chaos of the outer heavens into spiritual energy and starlight, which is then injected into the primordial world.

In fact, even without this Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, chaos would still be transformed into spiritual energy and poured into the primordial world, but the efficiency would be much lower.

Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor and the Three Sovereigns joined forces with Doumu Yuanjun, the Mother of All Stars, to create the Great Array of the Celestial Stars in the ancient starry sky.

If the primordial world has such convenient supply facilities, the myriad heavens of the heart sea will naturally have them as well, so Luo Zu can absorb the spiritual energy of the primordial world and directly replenish it.

However, during his experiment, there were several control groups that did not replenish their spiritual energy, allowing it to be consumed by the experimental races. This can also be considered a type of variable.

It was through this comparison that Luo Zu was able to arrive at this experimental result.

With this result, Luo Zu understood how to preserve the talents of his descendants.

So he also began to move the surrounding spiritual energy and adjust the Great Dao, making the surrounding environment more likely to attract and store spiritual energy, and transform spiritual energy, injecting new energy into the spiritual energy that had already been consumed.

Based on these differences in spiritual energy and elemental composition, Luo Zu specially wrote a book called "The Book of All Spiritual Energy".

Spiritual energy is divided into eighty-one grades.

The first grade is the primordial spiritual energy newly extracted and transformed from chaos; the second grade is the purple energy of the Tushita Heaven and the spiritual treasure primordial energy; the third grade is the essence of the sun and moon and the various energies of the stars; the fourth grade...

The lowest grade is the eighty-first grade, where the spiritual energy is only slightly more than that of ordinary air.

The reason why spiritual energy gradually deteriorates is that living beings absorb its energy through their breathing, and the remaining part is thus downgraded.

Secondly, it is a natural evolution, which degenerates due to various celestial phenomena. Just as the Zhou Tian Star Array absorbs chaos and transforms it into spiritual energy in the primordial world, many celestial phenomena in the world also have this function.

Or perhaps these unusual phenomena also manifested from spiritual energy.

If Luo Zu hadn't now attained the Golden Immortal realm and gained access to a vast amount of information about the world, he probably wouldn't have been able to summarize these matters in such a penetrating and insightful way, clearly defining the division of spiritual energy.

After this book was completed, it was immediately uploaded to the Cloud Bookstore of the Upper Caveman Tribe.

Because of Luo Zu's reputation, this book, "The Book of All Dharmas and Spiritual Energy," was immediately borrowed by many clansmen.

However, if one's cultivation is insufficient and one's knowledge is not deep, reading this book will not be of much use.

It is actually quite beneficial for cultivators who have reached the primordial spirit level.

While Luo Zu was writing this book, Toad Koko, whom he had sent to the world of artifacts, suddenly asked him a question.

Upon sensing this, Luo Zu yanked his soul out of the artifact realm and pressed it before his eyes.

"What brings you to me?" Luo Zu asked slowly.

Toad Knock immediately started crying and sobbing, "Master, my ancestors have come looking for me."

"Your ancestor?" Luo Zu asked in surprise, and then proceeded to deduce and calculate, extracting various fragments of information from him.

Soon, he sensed something unusual about it.

The moment he grasped that wisp of energy, it immediately underwent a dramatic change.

With a thud.

A lump of mud suddenly splattered out from the information.

This lump of mud did not harm anyone; once it was created, it continued to transform on its own, eventually turning into a three-legged golden toad the size of a water bucket in no time.

When Luo Zu saw Him like this, he knew that He was the Golden Immortal Ancestor who was the Toad Knocking.

This guy is really something. He was able to make such a change just from a wisp of Toad Knock's aura, and he was even able to connect with Toad Knock right under his nose. His skills are obviously not shallow.

Even a glance from Luo Zu couldn't reveal his cultivation level.

He seemed to be a Golden Immortal, but there was also a trace of Taiyi's aura.

"It's really not easy to find fellow Daoists." The ancestor of the treasure-hunting golden toad opened his mouth wide, croaked twice, and uttered these words.

"Fellow Daoist, you may call me Ancestor Luo," Ancestor Luo said leisurely.

He knew that this person was looking for him for some reason.

It might even be that the Golden Crow Prince sent Him.

This ancestor of the toad was indeed worthy of being called his ancestor. Seeing that Luo Zu was polite, he was not polite in return.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Luo Zu." The three-legged golden toad bowed in a floating manner.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, you may call me Three-Legged, or you may call me Dead Toad, either is fine," the Three-Legged Golden Toad then said.

Luo Zu smiled slightly. This person was indeed good at handling things. He resolved the awkward situation with just a few words and also eliminated some of Luo Zu's hostility towards Him.

"I wonder what brings you here, my friend?" Seeing His attitude, Luo Zu took the initiative to explain the matter, so as not to make the conversation awkward.

"In response to Fellow Daoist Luo Zu, I have come here for two reasons: first, to make peace, and second, to plead for mercy." The three-legged golden toad no longer concealed its intentions and immediately explained its purpose.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zu thought, "Wow, this is really something."

"Oh? Is it for that vengeful Gu demon god? Or the Sixth Prince?" Luo Zu teased.

Upon hearing Luo Zu's boastful words, the three-legged golden toad nearly jumped up, but fortunately, it possessed spiritual cultivation, so it was not startled.

"Fellow Daoist Luo Zu is incredibly resourceful, but he only guessed one correctly." Even this person made the three-legged golden toad tremble.

"The Golden Crow Prince?" Luo Zu asked with a smile.

It's impossible that this could be the Sixth Prince of the Golden Crow, given his high status; how could he possibly compromise and ask someone to help him resolve this conflict?

Therefore, it can only be that vengeful Gu demon god.

"Fellow Daoist Luo Zu, you are the Vengeful Gu Demon God." The three-legged golden toad gave the expected answer.

"This matter is best left unsaid. Fellow Daoist Golden Toad, let Him wait for me to strike Him with my sword every year," Luo Zu said indifferently.

The three-legged toad knew this would be the outcome. Its face was only related to the fact that its descendants had been captured by Luo Zu; there was no deeper connection whatsoever.

However, He also knew that Luo Zu's actions were too insulting, and that the vengeful Gu demon god would probably find it difficult to accept, and that a fierce battle with him would be inevitable in the future.

But the three-legged toad grumbled a few words and then erased all the unrealistic fantasies in this project.

"From both a moral and logical standpoint, it is the grave mistake of the Gu, and now that it has borne the bitter fruit, it should bear the consequences," the three-legged golden toad said earnestly.

Luo Zu nodded thoughtfully.

"Since you refuse, and you have no other business with me, then return to the Heavenly Court," Luo Zu advised in return.

The three-legged golden toad had finally managed to seize this opportunity to meet Luo Zu, the current "top influencer" of the prehistoric world, so how could it just leave like this?

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I still need to plead for him once more, don't I?" The three-legged golden toad opened its mouth comically, seemingly trying to please him.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zu glanced at the person behind him who was constantly kowtowing and bowing. Considering their merits and hard work over the years, he let the three-legged golden toad continue speaking.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know that the Heavenly Court has thoroughly investigated your life and is fully aware of the human race's situation? Fellow Daoist, you are now in grave danger." The three-legged golden toad began to spread alarmist rumors.

In fact, Luo Zu was already aware of this situation when he was fighting against the Vengeful Gu Demon God.

But so what? Things have already come to this. Can he really erase his own and the records of the human race in the Heavenly Court?

Seeing that he was not flustered and did not show any unusual expression, the three-legged toad sighed inwardly in a corner of its heart.

"What crisis?" Luo Zu asked slowly.

He wasn't in a hurry at all; the only one in a hurry was the person in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist, are you aware of the Heavenly Court's methods?" The three-legged golden toad stealthily approached again, using some strange secret technique to inform Luo Zu of this question.

"What means are you going to use against me?" Luo Zu asked in return.

The three-legged toad continued to use this secret method of transmitting sound to explain the matter to him.

"The demon race is currently plotting against the human race. They will harm the human race when the time is right, so you need to prepare early, fellow Daoist," the three-legged golden toad said simply.

"Hmm?" Korozu was indeed very confused.

This matter is likely known to everyone in Heaven.

"How to harm him?" Luo Zu asked immediately.

The three-legged toad replied, "Kill people and seize their souls (physical essence) to refine their blood and forge weapons."

"Has it already started?" Luo Zu immediately asked.

"It hasn't started yet, but the simulations are almost complete; we're just waiting for the right opportunity," the three-legged toad said.

"When? After the Three Pure Ones finish their sermon? Or after the Two Western Saints finish their celebration?" Luo Zu pressed.

But the three-legged toad said nothing more.

This made Luo Zu very eager to capture Him and interrogate His soul and spirit.

Unfortunately, what He sent was only an avatar. So even Luo Zu couldn't do anything about it.

Furthermore, the exact strength of this three-legged golden toad is still uncertain; if it were a Taiyi...

Even Luo Zu would be stumped.

The information provided by Toad Knock was no longer accurate, or rather, he had never truly understood his ancestor.

However, before the three-legged toad could offer any further explanation, Luo Zu understood the reason.

"Indeed, thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Three-Legged." Luo Zu looked at the toad mouth of the three-legged golden toad, which, though silent, revealed a great deal, and understood its riddle.

The demon race is currently facing considerable trouble. Leaving aside the witch race for the time being, the constraints imposed by the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West have prevented the demon race's Heavenly Court from acting openly in many matters. They have to test the opinions of these five sages first.

If we say that these five sages are too powerful to interfere in worldly affairs, then the existence of overseas immortal sects alone is enough to give the demon race and the Heavenly Court a hard time.

Of course, the overseas immortal sects are not only targeting Him, but also challenging the Wu Clan's dominant position on the land.

Although the overseas immortal sects could not possibly be a match for either of the two races, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother recruited various rogue cultivators, most of whom were powerful individuals who had suffered persecution from the Lich and Demon races in recent years. They could put up a fight against the Lich and Demon races. In addition, they had gained a reputation in the East Sea, which would surely attract more powerful rogue cultivators to join the immortal sects.

Thinking of this, Luo Zu remembered two old friends—Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.

When they first met, they were all like nobodies, but now Luo Zu is a Golden Immortal. I wonder what has become of them.

Thinking of this, Luo Zu also stopped there. He then considered that he had no relation to the three-legged golden toad. Even if there was a connection with the toad, he shouldn't have helped so much. He deliberately took this opportunity of being invited to mediate to reveal these things.

He didn't mince words and went straight to the point, asking, "Why did Fellow Daoist Three-Legged remind me of such a treasonous matter?"

But the three-legged toad only said one sentence: "I came from Leize."

Luo Zu immediately had "a thousand thoughts," which is a method of thinking, not a flood of random thoughts.

Things and creatures related to Razer...

Thunder Beast? Dragon Clan? Dragon Horse?

Is it the previous Great War of Thunder? The billion-year war between the Thunder Beasts and the Dragon Clan? A localized conflict between the Lich and the Lich Clan in Thunder?

Various thoughts flashed through his mind like shooting stars, and Luo Zu couldn't figure out the reason for them for a moment.

However, the three-legged toad didn't give him any more time to think and immediately returned to the Heavenly Court.

Luo Zu certainly wouldn't stop him, nor could he.

Suddenly, the gleaming three-legged toad transformed into a lump of foul-smelling mud, scattered all over the ground.

And so He left.
