As the saying goes, humans and monsters have different paths, separated by yin and yang.
The word "different paths" simply means different paths.
And this "road" can be extended to the highest level as the mysterious way, which refers to the ultimate pursuit of practice; it can also be specific to the basic meaning: the road under your feet, or a certain approach.
Hu Jianjia, Huang Xianlang, Mang Shanhe, Cinderella, and Bai Diandian, the five representatives of the Changbai Demon Clan, felt that something was wrong as soon as they entered Changbai Village with their spiritual servants.
Although the scene they saw outside the village was still in front of them, with the little paper figures holding lanterns standing in two rows, it seemed that they could not see the edge.
But after they entered the village entrance, they clearly felt as if they had entered another space.
The surrounding scene did not change much, but it was like being separated from them by an invisible and intangible veil.
Among the five immortals, only Baidiandian has not yet transformed, but his short legs are not slow at all.
Although she was tricked by Hu Jianjia, she instinctively approached her at this time, "Sister Hu! I..."
Bai Diandian thought that she represented the Bai family today, swallowed her saliva, and swallowed the word "fear" along with it.
Hu Jianjia had the inheritance of the three-eyed spirit fox from her mother's clan. At this moment, she had actually guessed where they were entering, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she picked up Bai Dandian and looked at Mang Shanhe among her companions.
"Fellow Daoist Python, what do you think?"
Mang Shanhe is a 500-year-old python spirit. Although they are both 500 years old, Chang Zhuang cannot compare with him. He is a direct descendant of the Mang family of the Liuxian among the five immortals: fox, yellow, white, willow, gray, and long white.
Liu Xian is actually divided into two families, Chang and Mang. The heads of these two families also went to the Bai family. However, Liu Baiyi has a noble status and a profound moral practice. The two heads of the family are obedient to her.
Both the Chang Mang family knew that Liu Baiyi valued and felt guilty about the Chang Baijin family, so the representatives they sent were naturally very cautious.
The reason why Mangshanhe was chosen was, firstly, because the Chang Mang family had always signed up for a group; secondly, because Mangshanhe was not only of high cultivation and status, but also very eloquent, but not cunning in character.
In fact, it is not just the Chang Mang family that attaches great importance to this business, but the other four families are no exception.
Not to mention Hu Jianjia and Bai Diandian.
Huang Xianlang is the head of the next generation of the Huang family; Cinderella of the Hui family is the direct great-granddaughter of the ancestor of the Hui family, Old Fairy Hui, and the most outstanding descendant of the Hui family within 500 years of age.
Mang Shanhe is a tall man with a simple and honest face. If they don't know that he is a python spirit, some people will believe him if he is said to be a black bear spirit.
"You are not a fellow Taoist. I am a little older than you. We didn't know each other before, but in the future we will have to deal with each other frequently. I am the ninth oldest in the family. If the Hu family doesn't dislike it, just call me the same as the three of them. Just Brother Ninth will do."
Mang Shanhe had long wanted to make friends with Hu Jianjia, but he never had the chance.
It's not that he has any bad intentions, but the blood of monsters is too rare nowadays.
The so-called demon beasts are beasts that are born with spiritual marks, can absorb spiritual power for training, and even awaken the bloodline of the great demon to bring their own inheritance.
The comparison between them and ordinary beasts, just like the extraordinary people and ordinary people who have officially entered the path of cultivating immortals, has undergone a qualitative change, and there is a gap between them.
Even the cheapest first-level monster, such as the Spirit Fire Rabbit, can kill a thousand or more ordinary rabbits.
A Spirit Fire Rabbit can live at least one hundred and fifty years: but an ordinary rabbit can live for fifteen years, which is considered a longevity rabbit.
After talking about lethality and longevity, let’s talk about the most important item. Even if spiritual intelligence is not activated, monsters are born with the method of cultivation.
As long as a spirit fire rabbit doesn't die midway and practices hard, it can extend its life. As long as it lives, it has the opportunity to open up its spiritual wisdom and become a demon.
But if it is an ordinary rabbit, unless there is a master who is willing to spend a lot of mana to unlock its spiritual intelligence, or he has a great opportunity to catch up with the Emperor's Liquid [Note 1], or he has eaten some spiritual fruit.
Otherwise, even if you live longer and are smarter than other beasts, it will not be considered as opening up your spiritual intelligence.
And even if the spiritual intelligence is opened by chance and has human-like wisdom, and knows how to absorb spiritual power, but without the method of cultivation and cannot be converted into mana, it is still a mortal beast and cannot be regarded as a monster.
A typical example is the five beasts of Sifang Mountain.
If he had not met Yun Shu, he would have been just an ordinary beast for the rest of his life, at most slightly more powerful than the other beasts.
It's just that since the earth entered the Age of Ending Law, the spiritual energy has become increasingly thinner. The capable demon clan has long since migrated out of the earth with their race. It can be said that the demon clan fled collectively this time.
Of those who stayed, only a small part could not leave their homeland, and most of the rest were unable to leave or were abandoned.
In the demon clan, there is a strict hierarchy and bloodline origin is important, because the potential of the demon clan comes from blood.
Those who transform from mortals to demons, unless they activate some special bloodline or reach the great demon realm, which is the Tengyun Golden Core realm, can only be considered low-level demon cultivators.
Therefore, most of those who were left behind were such monsters.
Without spiritual energy, you cannot practice, and some have taken evil ways, such as devouring blood and food, causing harm to the world by harvesting yang and replenishing yin, or - devouring gods.
Fortunately, those monsters and monsters that wanted to eat the gods were just remnants of the Great Migration. Their power was only relative.
If it were really a celestial demon (corresponding to the Huiyang Nascent Soul Realm) or a demon king (Qianyuan Fenshen Realm), let alone Deke Zike, the Changbai Mountain God of Tiger Luo Pingyang would have been destroyed long ago, and where would he get the gold? The family scapegoat is here to slay the demons!
In addition to these evil demons who have gone astray, there are also those who have found other ways. For example, the lineage of the Immortal family in the demon clan has flourished through this.
Of course, this does not mean that all monsters have left. There are always some that cannot leave the earth due to various reasons.
But on the one hand, most of the low-level monsters have no intelligence. Due to the huge changes in spiritual energy, many monsters have chosen to adapt to the environment in order to survive, and they have almost degraded to the level of ordinary beasts.
On the one hand, in the eyes of cultivators, monsters represent precious materials and monster meat that is comparable to spirit-boosting pills.
For this reason, it is not safe even to hide in the earth's crust. Those who can survive to open up their spiritual wisdom and practice becoming monsters are rare, and those who can successfully transform are rare.
It can be said that Hu Jianjia's father's chance of meeting her mother is about the same as the chance of a Cowherd marrying the Seventh Fairy.
After all, the Psychedelic Spirit Fox is a third-level monster. Although the strength of the fox clan mainly depends on its tail, the nobler the bloodline, the better the talent, and the faster the cultivation speed.
And this psychedelic spirit fox actually gave birth to an heir with a demon clan who was born from a mortal fox. This kind of good thing is unthinkable, okay?
The reason why this incident was originally exposed was because of the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation when Hu Jianjia was born. At that time, the entire demon tribe in Changbai Mountain was in a state of excitement, and the identity of Hu Jianjia's mother was also exposed.
Otherwise, no one would know that the third boy of the Hu family is so good at seducing girls. Although he is a vixen himself, the psychedelic spirit fox is a master of enchantment.
It can be said that Hu Jianjia's father instantly became the idol of ordinary fox demons in China.
And it was only a third-level psychedelic spirit fox that caused the death of Hu Jianjia and his daughter, let alone a seventh-level three-eyed fox (Chapter 251)?
Therefore, even when Hu Jianjia returned to Changbai Mountain, he always went deep into the mountains and came out easily.
Everyone is curious. In addition, Hu Jianjia didn't seem to have an unkind temper, so Mang Shanhe spoke shamelessly.
And Hu Jianjia was indeed good at getting along, and she also wanted to make friends with these talents who were the pillars of the Changbai Mountain Demon Clan, so she didn't hesitate and called "Brother Ninth."
Except for Mang Shanhe's big eyes, his smile was split into two slits.
Huang Xianlang and Cinderella were also making noises. Considering their age, they could just call Hu Jianjia "sister".
Hu Jianjia also responded with a smile.
If the conditions didn't allow it, the smallest, most delicate and weakest Baidiandian would want to persuade everyone to do it.
