Free Web NovelChapter 944: Chapter 37: The True Situation of the Auspicious Beast Lineage
In a vast expanse of vague whiteness.
Mo Mei and the Grand Elder, two powerhouses, traveled across worlds and soon arrived outside the boundary of the Celestial Destiny World.
They gazed at the gigantic Chaos Giant Egg, not rushing to enter, but beginning to search for information in this region.
"This area is quite unremarkable..."
The Grand Elder checked the information, "In this world and even in the surrounding worlds, every single Ascender is recorded, all working as miners... belonging to the relatively low-level group."
"Should there be no ambush?" True Immortal Mo Mei brushed her hairpin and took a small mouse out of her pocket, gently placing it on her palm and stroking it.
"There shouldn’t be."
Pointing at the Celestial Destiny World in front of them, the Grand Elder analyzed:
"The system of this world mainly cultivates Metal Divine Power Stones, seemingly ordinary... Previously, the Ascenders banded together, the strongest of whom, an old man named Thousand-Eyed Immortal, is just at Human Immortal Perfection, still working as a miner."
"But not long ago, I heard Thousand-Eyed Immortal brought back three newcomers, named Jian Xin, Emperor Zangwu, and Night Emperor, still mining."
For people of their level, investigating these was easy.
Moreover, the mining area is designated for newly ascended beings.
Informants would collect their surface information and see if any households needed a son-in-law, etc...
True Immortal Mo Mei slightly frowned, "Such a mundane world can give rise to an Auspicious Beast? That Divine Lamp, Medicinal Stone Golden Core Technique, emerged from here?"
The Elder chuckled, "It’s not impossible; some worlds will naturally produce prodigious talents, creating astounding systems, but their prevalence is low, and they have to learn independently."
"This Auspicious Beast might have an extremely low reproduction capability; after ascending, the established system was taken away, leaving only a mundane homeland world."
"Meanwhile, the Immortal Venerate whom they followed perished, the Auspicious Beast family was nearly eradicated, and before death returned home to regenerate, pushing species development, which isn’t surprising."
Both were very cautious.
Even for True Immortal Mo Mei, she was still a renowned figure in this generation of the Immortal Realm.
Under the Immortal Venerate’s power, her kind of True Immortal power is the strongest.
But discretion is the better part of valor; they were cautious of enemies, not daring to enter a world easily.
Because no Immortal likes the feeling of being suppressed.
Human Immortals entering would be reduced to Self-Transformation Realm-level, with a chance of being besieged and killed by a group of natives.
Celestial Immortals entering would be suppressed to Human Immortal-level.
Unless some special super monsters or prodigies, generally Self-Transformation Realm Cultivators cannot surpass levels to fight Immortals.
Under normal circumstances, Celestial Immortals at this level can roam freely across worlds without worrying about safety.
But in reality?
When you enter a world, you’re not afraid of the mortals there, but you have to fear the Immortal ambushes!
This world is the old nest of some Immortal, various traps set, just waiting for you to step in and hunt you down.
Historically, many Celestial Immortals have fallen this way.
Trick you into coming to my house; I’m not suppressed by the world, but you are... It’s an old tactic for trapping and killing opponents.
The two even scouted the surroundings, and this region seemed like a mediocre world.
Finally, after some thought, True Immortal Mo Mei threw into the void.
The Mo Mei hairpin above her head quickly fell into the world, investigating the information and situation inside for her.
She sat cross-legged like this for three days.
Quickly, her eyes opened, "Let’s go, there doesn’t seem to be any major problem inside, no Immortals, but it seems there was a recent Immortal breakthrough leaving some traces."
Swish.
The two entered the world.
Soon.
They descended into the atmosphere, seeing the Nursery Divine Capital swirling in the sky, surrounded by Immortal Qi, emanating a golden and auspicious aura.
Landed on the ground, disguised as native passersby, watching the bustling citizens on the streets, occasionally passing some Daoists.
Street vendors hawked their wares.
Among the loose cultivators on the streets, someone sold Golden Cores and Metal Stones.
An elderly woman chatted, preparing to accompany her daughter-in-law to a Taoist temple outside the city to burn incense seeking for a child.
It seemed like a flourishing scene.
Furthermore, there was a habit everywhere to go to Taoist temples, praying for good weather and harvest.
The air was filled with incense smoke.
Strands of the Power of Cause and Effect stretched from the line above their heads to the Divine Capital in the sky.
"Line?"
True Immortal Mo Mei showed surprise, "Is there actually a world-operating Divine Artifact that controls the destiny of its people here?"
Honestly, though she had prepared for this, it still surprised her.
Because her expectation was for an alchemy-focused Golden Core Dharma Method world, guessing it was primarily an alchemy world.
Unexpectedly, it was filled with Taoist temples everywhere, with alchemy being just one aspect.
They were filled with Stone-to-Gold statues, transporting destiny.
"This world is too terrifying," True Immortal Mo Mei closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them suddenly.
The Grand Elder was puzzled, asking, "Isn’t this just a regular type that collects destiny, with similar Auspicious Beast species in the Immortal Realm?"
"No, you don’t understand."
True Immortal Mo Mei said, "Do you think their cultivation speed is?"
The Grand Elder revealed admiration, "Extremely fast, worthy of calling themselves Heaven’s Chosen; their era is continuously erupting, blessing newborns, enhancing Enlightenment..."
"This is the super-rapid civilization unprecedented to my knowledge, I can’t even imagine what heights they’ll reach in the future."
After hearing the Grand Elder’s evaluation, Mo Mei smiled, "If I tell you, under normal circumstances for an Auspicious Beast system, cultivation of flesh, soul, and destiny is the slowest and hardest, what then?"
"How could it be?" The Grand Elder was puzzled, "Auspicious Beasts, isn’t cultivation supposed to be the fastest?"
In the sky, he has seen countless of the Auspicious Beast lineage!
Each of those Auspicious Beasts glowed with Auspicious Qi, their cultivation speed massively accelerated, destiny blessings, truly like the protagonist of heaven and earth, creating various miracles.
Mo Mei shook her head, speaking, "The cultivation speed of the Auspicious Beast lineage, slow before becoming Immortal, fast after becoming Immortal."
"Take the Immortal-level Disaster Beast for example, their mana is incredible, their Divine Thought easily covers vast regions, naturally able to harvest destinies of billions of lives."
"As for their mortal period?"
"Still a juvenile, needing to harvest destinies, able to cover a small area of only kilometers each time, requiring frantic migration, harvesting everywhere, spending life running, and the efficiency being shockingly slow."
The Grand Elder also realized.
Running all the way, absorbing all the way, is way too inefficient.
Moreover.
This type of Disaster Beast, in most worlds, is still considered a Plague God.
Wherever they travel the water dries.
Wherever they go the forest withers.
When in a city, disease follows.
How could the inexperienced natives accept such a demonic harbinger of life and allow them to grow?
They had no idea of the valuable nature of this type of species, only assuming it was a curse.
So.
Most of them were culled before even ascending.
This is among the reasons this type of Auspicious Beast is so rare.
Although they bring disasters, in the eyes of Immortals, they’re still considered a type of Auspicious Beast, unless taught by an Immortal...
These Disaster Beasts typically only know how to exploit resources unsustainably.
Therefore, for a Disaster Beast to grow and ascend, they have to survive, bear the brunt pressure of native pursuits.
Moreover, destiny absorption range is certainly a significant problem.
Ning Zheng’s absorption range was not large before.
At that time, they had to spend half a day going to Xirong Academy, half a day running to Sword Casting Manor... running all the way, absorbing all the way.
It was only when Ning Zheng manufactured this Golden Mud, opened sub-branch storage containers, and established logistics that this awkward situation was alleviated.
Yet the efficiency of the Disaster Beast was actually very fast.
What about the true Auspicious Beast?
Unable to absorb other people’s destiny, they had to honestly cultivate their own destiny.
Not consuming others, but enduring hardship.
The growth speed of an Auspicious Beast is ten times slower than that of a Disaster Beast.
Moreover, they are truly auspicious and bad at direct combat, too easy to bully.
They can be seized as slaves, as auspicious, with their tendons pulled and bones extracted... for study, hence they’re even rarer.
Even in today’s Immortal Realm, Auspicious Beasts face this treatment.
In essence, they’re still captured by Immortal Venerates as "slaves" to suppress their own power, helping them with buffs, divination, blessings...
Thus, seeing such a pure destiny world, powerful to such an extent, high in quantity, blooming everywhere, thriving endlessly, felt like witnessing a myth.
