Chapter 7 The Evil in the Mountains
Above Mount Wei, deep in the dense forest.
"Watch morning dew as a drink and eat as a hot sun, and after a hundred years of immortality and decay, you should be in a 'demon'."
Standing in front of a hundred-year-old locust tree, Xuan Jue, who had looked down at Weishan with a young girl before, murmured softly.
"It's a pity that the fortune of heaven and earth is not so easy to bear. If there is no other opportunity, you will not be able to truly transform into a demon even if you live for another hundred years."
Just like the Xuan Jue murmur that understood, the century-old tree in front of him suddenly swayed automatically without wind.
Rush rust...
I saw that the thick branches of the century-old locust tree were slightly curved as if they were bowing their hands, and the whole tree seemed extremely respectful and awe-inspiring.
Obviously, just like Xuan Jue said, this century-old locust tree has long become a spirit, but the opportunity is lacking, and it will never truly turn into a demon.
"Haha, you have learned a lot of sour and rotten energy of human scholars!"
With a smile, he reached out and patted the trunk of the century-old locust tree. Xuan Jue's cold face rarely showed such a wanton smile.
"Don't worry, although I hate humans, I have to admit that they are indeed good 'teachers'."
"Now you have gained enlightenment and all you have is a 'nine orifice body', and you can officially have an 'innate form' like me."
When he said this, Xuan Jue's voice couldn't help but pause, but his tone still maintained his previous smile.
"If you want to have a true 'innate form', there are only two paths to go."
"The first one is to be human-eating, which can be obtained by constantly hunting humans, and then it can be seen through their body structure, and then it will take a hundred years to slowly transform."
"But considering that you are a locust tree and you do not have the ability to actively prey on humans, and there are not so many humans in the deep mountains and forests for you to prey on."
"So you have to go another path, that is, to cultivate the nine orifices of Qi and veins, and turn into ghosts and monsters."
Although they also have the nine orifices of Qi, ghosts and monsters are more than a little bit worse than humans who are born with intelligence.
Rush rust...
The century-old locust tree obviously knows this, so the swaying sound reveals a faint sense of pleading.
If it is not a desperate situation, who would be willing to give up the perfect "innate form" and turn into those ghosts and monsters whose bodies must have some defects?
If you take a step back ten thousand steps, even if you really take a hundred years to transform into success, isn’t that equivalent to being a hundred years behind other demons’ practice?
The world of monsters is not as peaceful as that of the human world. God knows what accident will happen in this century?
"Don't be so impatient. Since I have come to you, I will naturally be useful to you."
"It's just a 'nine orifices Qi and meridian'. If you can complete my commission, let alone human beings, it's not difficult to form other 'innate forms'."
The human form is only the most common and easiest to obtain "innate form", but it is not the only creature in the world that has "innate form".
On the contrary, all living beings with nine orifices have the possibility of turning against acquired and becoming innate and embarking on the path of transcendence.
In comparison, it is just a higher chance of success in human form, especially for a plant like a hundred-year-old locust tree that has no acupoints.
However, the chance of human beings being successful in their practice and being born with acquired and innate is high, but they are still more than inferior to some gifted races.
"Have you heard of 'dragons'?"
They are also creatures with the nine orifices and Qi veins, and the legendary dragons are much more advanced than human acupoints.
But just like the harsh conditions of transforming humans, the conditions of transforming dragons are even more harsh. Often, only those snakes with similar shapes and fish have a slight possibility.
After all, compared to the humans that can be seen everywhere, there is no standard for the rare dragons to be used for reference and imitation.
Rush rust...
I suddenly heard the subtext in Xuan Jue's words, and the sound of the swaying locust tree in the century seemed even more excited.
If turning into a human form is the pursuit of most monsters, then turning into a dragon form is an unattainable dream.
Once you successfully transform into a dragon, even if you do nothing for a hundred years and give up your practice completely, you are qualified to become a river god who enjoys the incense of a place, and then have a life span of five hundred years.
Not to mention, the locust tree is a monster with a long life span, and it is not a problem to live for another thousand years after enjoying incense.
"The nine sons of the dragon have different, and there is such an opportunity in front of you now."
"On the other side of this mountain, there is a mortal named 'Pei Wende', who was born with the fate of 'Earth Dragon'."
"If you can successfully absorb his essence and destiny, you will be able to become a dragon in the future and become one of the best monsters in the world."
While speaking, Xuan Jue's palm pressed on the tree's body had already emitted the pure yang power as hot as the scorching sun, and it continued to pour into the trunk of the century-old locust tree.
——Pure Yang Secret Technique·Initiation!
Under Xuan Jue's forced initiation, the thick locust tree withered and changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the entire tree also made a whine like a living creature.
But the century-old tree did not resist the indoctrination of the pure yang power, because it knew that Xuan Jue was helping him transform.
As the branches and leaves quickly withered, the main body of the trunk begins to give birth to a new life form that is different from trees, just like the placenta that nurtures life.
It is a giant life with a primate body with complete limbs and short tails.
I saw that his dark hair was standing upside down like a steel needle, without the agility of flesh and blood, and replaced by the feeling of being as strong as trees and as strong as rocks.
The most important thing is that with the birth of this ghost and monster, the corresponding knowledge and practice methods also emerged in its mind.
It is about the instincts and magical powers of this body, as well as how to use the power of pure yang and the evil energy of the earth veins to assimilate the essence and fate of the "earth dragon".
"The "Shan Hai Jing·Hai Nei Jing" says: There is a giant in the south, with long faces and long arms, black bodies and hairs, and backwards."
"When you see someone, you smile, and you will cover your face, so you will run away."
He whispered softly, while Xuan Jue turned into a hundred-year-old locust tree and turned into a ghost and monster, he released the palm pressing on the other party.
"The spirit of trees, ghosts in the mountains..."
"From today, you'll be called a mandrill."
"As long as you can kill Pei Wende before Gengshen night on July 15th, I will hand over the complete 'Dragon Transformation Method' to you at that time."
