Ye Feng continued: "When the relationship between the voodoo insect and the host is no longer symbiotic but parasitic, problems will arise."
"For ordinary Gu masters, symbiotic Gu insects will not affect the consciousness of their hosts. They are generally harmless and have many benefits. First of all, the speed of practice will be much faster than that of ordinary monks, even if their qualifications are mediocre. The Gu Master's cultivation speed is comparable to that of the genius among the ancient clan forces. After all, he has suffered so many sins and is always facing the risk of falling. It is natural that he will improve quickly in the future.
"But once it is a parasitic relationship, the situation is different. In the Qi Refining realm, the Gu insects will initially devour the spiritual roots and completely devour the spiritual roots at the ninth level of Qi refining.
"During the foundation building stage, the symbiotic Gu insects will start to build a nest with the spiritual roots as the core, and will continue to use the original spiritual root veins. However, the parasitic Gu insects will completely devour the subsequent spiritual roots and build a nest with themselves as the core. While building the nest, they give up their original spiritual root veins and establish a new Gu nest vein. The process is no different from the pain of peeling off skin and bones. Therefore, a parasitic Gu Master in the foundation building stage is stronger than a Gu Master of the same realm who has a general symbiotic relationship. More than several times. But at that time, the parasitic Gu will also start to release hormones, which will slowly begin to affect the host's mind, and then cause the host's personality to change. The host will begin to become either indifferent, violent, cruel or murderous. Or unruly. The most important impact is that the host will slowly think that he is no longer a human being, but a being higher than human beings, and regards other mortals as ants.
"Actually, to be honest, even normal immortal cultivators will become like this, but parasitic Gu Masters progress very quickly, and some even become like this in just one night.
"Actually, when the parasitic Gu Master is in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he will not be aware of the changes in his mind. There is always a process for this, but it is uncertain. After all, the Gu Master's emotional fluctuations will also seriously affect the Gu Insects. The release of hormones. So this is also why some of the Gu Masters suddenly change their personalities, just like the kind of "blackening" that we often talk about in anime novels. After all, if the darkening is doubled, it is still not enough to whiten and weaken three points. Unreasonable.
"As the Gu worms continue to grow, the appearance from the outside is the improvement of the foundation-building realm, from level 1 to level 9. At the same time, the host will awaken different abilities, such as changes in the body, and the soul will release illusions, illusions, and entities chemical energy, etc.
"You know that refining Gu is to put a group of poisonous insects in a Gu cup and let them fight and devour each other. So whether they are parasitic or engineered Gu insects, they are essentially Gu insects, so they will eventually fight each other and devour the weak. From then on, Becoming stronger while devouring it is like the whole world is a big "gu cup". And those ordinary monks are just food and nourishment to the Gu master."
Suddenly Yun Xi asked: "Master, why do I feel that there is no difference between these Gu masters and normal monks in the world of cultivating immortals?"
Ye Feng sighed and said: "There is no difference. After all, the Lock of Heaven blocks the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In modern times where spiritual energy is scarce, people will naturally do anything in order to survive. Humans are members of all living things, and Gu insects are like this. It is not so difficult to understand. On the contrary, because these external conditions of the Gu Master are no different from those of normal monks, and their cultivation speed is extremely fast, there was a time when the Gu Master's power was extremely huge, and that time point coincided with Hua The period of the demon god Chi You, one of the three ancestors of the Xia Dynasty, overlapped. Coincidentally, the Jiuli tribe where Chi You belonged happened to be good at the art of witchcraft, ghosts, and ghosts. I have told you about this before when I told you about the history of southern Xinjiang. Just imagine, how could a small southern border tribe suddenly rise up and compete with Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang? In the Battle of Zhuolu, Chi You defeated the Yan-Huang coalition forces in nine out of nine battles within three years. Their strength is staggering. What do you think of this and Gu? The discovery of the bug has nothing to do with its magical use, and no one will believe it. And according to my research, the rise of Chi You and the role of the Gu bug behind it are indispensable. After all, so many powerful warriors appeared in a short period of time, without the use of the Gu bug I can't think of any other way to help. But fortunately, Chi You was defeated by Emperor Yan and Huang Emperor in the end. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous in the land of Huaxia. You will understand this point if you continue to listen to it.
"So history is not just simple book knowledge. There are many truths hidden behind the world."
"As for Queen Mother Xi's "elixir" that can eat dead people, I speculate that its inspiration came from the "qi refining pill" in Gu Master.
"Back to the Gu Master, when the Gu insect becomes powerful enough, it will start to form a cocoon. The entire cocoon-making period will be called the "Elixir Formation Stage". During this period, the Gu insect will move towards the adult stage, which is What we call "metamorphosis" in biology. The symbiotic bugs at this stage will not interfere with the host, but the parasitic bugs will penetrate deep into the host's internal organs and brain, further controlling the host's body and mind. This stage of the Golden Elixir stage is very dangerous , to test the physical lightness of the host in the previous foundation building stage and the adaptability of the transformation. Of course, most hosts will still die due to rejection when the foundation is being promoted to the golden elixir.
"But not all Gu Masters can successfully break through across realms. When those Gu Masters with low talents cannot break through to the big realms, the only way is to kill and devour the Gu worms in other Gu Masters to improve their qualifications. This is simply to cultivate The method of Gu is very effective. This is exactly the same as in the normal world of immortality: "Everyone fights for the crossing, the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected." This is also why the Gu master is so crazy but it is difficult to be discovered, because this is normal The world of cultivating immortals is so crazy.
"In this case, some symbiotic Gu Masters will give up killing rationally and end their lives, but the parasitic Gu Masters will without exception choose to kill each other and devour other Gu Insects in order to seek a breakthrough opportunity.
"As for the Nascent Soul stage, it's easier to understand. As the saying goes, the golden elixir shatters and the Nascent Soul emerges. Isn't it similar to a butterfly emerging from a cocoon? When they reach the Nascent Soul stage, the Gu insect will completely become an adult. Of course. There are many dead bodies in the cocoons. At this time, most Gu insects are completely metamorphosed, and ordinary Gu masters will stop here. But only the Gu King can undergo multiple metamorphoses again, and then successfully break through the realm and advance to the next level. The Gu Master at that time will be called Gu Immortal when he reaches the Divine Realm, Void Refining, Fusion, Mahayana, Tribulation Transcendence, and even the final stage of True Immortal Realm, and that is the end of the Gu Master - becoming an immortal."
"And even if an ordinary Gu Master devours other Gu Masters, his or her own Gu Insect is not the Gu King, so if he forcibly transcends the tribulation and transforms into a god, there will only be one result, and that is death."
"And the above is the reason why I treat that girl Chi Yueling like that."
