Chapter 55: The Advantages of the Demon Race
"What are Laojun's instructions?" Although it was only a moment, Yang Zhen had already changed his mind and was thinking about how to deal with Laojun.
"You sit down first!" The Supreme Laojun pointed to the cushion in front of him and said to Yang Zhen.
After Yang Zhen sat down, the Grand Lord began to say, "Have you ever heard of the battle of lichs in ancient times?"
"Listen to the master!" Yang Zhen could not guess what Taishang Laojun meant, so he could only temporarily follow Taishang Laojun and respond to all changes with the unchanging conditions.
Nodded, the Grand Lord of the Supreme Lord of course knew who Yang Zhen’s master was, so he stopped talking, but asked Yang Zhen directly: "Do you know why after the first battle, both Lich clans were injured and almost reached the level of extermination. But today, the Witch clan has disappeared, and the Demon clan is still active in the prehistoric world. Even after the Lich battle and the Battle of the Gods, the Demon clan still has no extinction. Do you know the reason for this?"
After looking at the Taishang Laojun, Yang Zhen did not expect Taishang Laojun to ask this question, and immediately replied: "It should be because of reproduction. Among all things in the world, mountains, rocks, plants, birds and beasts, as long as they activate their spiritual intelligence and start practicing, they will be considered as members of the demon clan. From this perspective, although the human race is the protagonist of the heaven and earth, the number of the demon clan is not smaller than that of the human race. It is just that the process of the demon clan's enlightenment is very difficult, so the demon clan gradually loses the status of the protagonist of the heaven and earth.
In comparison, the Witch Clan is much worse. The Witch Clan has difficulty giving birth and is still so warlike, but he doesn’t know that one of them will die less. After a few big battles, of course, there will be only the end of extinction."
Yang Zhen spitted the stars and gave Taishang Laojun a biology lesson - on the role of reproduction.
The reason given by Yang Zhen was never thought of by Taishang Laojun. After all, he lived in different ages and received different educations. According to Taishang Laojun's idea, the demon clan should be stronger, possessing more luck, and having the saint Nuwa, which can ensure that the demon clan is not extinct.
But if you think about it carefully, what Yang Zhen said is not without reason. Not only are the total species of demons, but the reproduction speed is hundreds of times that of the witch clan. It is reasonable to come this way.
However, when the Taishang Laojun thought, if the kitten was just letting him fool him, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to call him here today? So Taishang Laojun narrowed his eyes and said lightly: “You little cat is quite knowledgeable, but your master is afraid that you have not told you some things.”
"I hope to hear it carefully!" Yang Zhen said.
"The path of cultivation for the demon clan is extremely difficult, but the way of heaven is fair. The more you pay, the more you get. Since the way of heaven sets such a high threshold for the demon clan, you will make compensation in other places." Taishang Laojun preached.
"Can we say that while Tiandao closes the door for us, it will also leave us a window?" Yang Zhen asked.
"You can also say that!" said the Supreme Laojun.
Alas! Yang Zhen sighed silently and said frustrated: "But I found that the way of heaven not only closed the door, but even left the window for me."
With a smile, the Taishang Laojun said: "No, since the body of the demon clan is different from that of humans, when the demon clan passes through the tribulation and turns into a human form, a unique skill will be transformed from the body. People in the demon clan call it "natal magical power". Since your kitten is a demon clan, you can cultivate natal magical power, which is also the advantage of the demon clan."
"Natural magical powers?" Yang Zhen was a little excited. Could it be that Taishang Laojun wanted to teach his own natal magical powers to practice? This was a surprise.
After all, Yang Zhen has been in the prehistoric world for more than 300 years, and naturally he has heard of the "natal magical powers" of the demon clan. However, although the natal magical powers are powerful, they are extremely difficult to practice. If there is no method of cultivation and only rely on one's own exploration, I am afraid that it will not be able to comprehend thoroughly in his entire life.
"To practice the supernatural powers of the natal world, you must first pass the tribulation and turn into a human form. Although you are already in a human form, it is just a method that your master gives you. If you want to practice the supernatural powers of the natal world, you must first pass the heavenly tribulation and cultivate into a human body." said the Grand Lord.
"What?" Yang Zhen was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that his current form was just a method that Patriarch Subhuti gave to him.
After knowing this, Yang Zhen hurriedly asked, "But my cultivation level has reached the third level of Taiyi Zhenxian. Logically speaking, I should have passed the tribulation for a long time, but why now, I still have no sense of passing the tribulation?" This is also the strangest thing about Yang Zhen.
"That's because of your original body." Taishang Laojun explained: "When I first saw you, I felt that your original body was quite extraordinary. Although it was not a prehistoric ancient beast, it also had an extraordinary momentum. Among the demon clan, the purer the bloodline, the higher the cultivation required to overcome the tribulation. In my opinion, you have to wait until the realm of the Golden Immortal to overcome the tribulation."
"I see!"
...
When Yang Zhen left the Heavenly Court, the Earth Immortal Realm was the moment when the sun was rising.
In the early morning, a ray of dawn came from the east, and a red sun slowly rose to the horizon.
Looking at the rising sun quietly, Yang Zhen's handsome face was a little confused and surprised. What will be the one that greets him in this new day?
Looking back on the conversation between him and Taishang Laojun in Tushita Palace, it can be said that he has benefited a lot. Taishang Laojun not only taught Yang Zhen the methods of cultivating his natal magical powers, but also guided Yang Zhen in his practice, which was extremely caring for Yang Zhen.
But Yang Zhen couldn't figure out what the purpose of Taishang Laojun was?
Judging from the original work of "Journey to the West", the Supreme Laojun not only let Sun Wukong eat the Nine-Turn Golden Pill he refined, but also helped Sun Wukong to develop the "Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes" magical power, which can be said to have given Sun Wukong great benefits. Even after Yang Zhen traveled through time, this still did not change.
Just now, the Taishang Laojun taught Yang Zhen the method of practicing the "natal magical power" and guided Yang Zhen to practice, which was extremely good for Yang Zhen.
In this way, we have to doubt the purpose of the Supreme Lord, whether he deliberately helped the disciples of Subhuti, or had another purpose, or was this simply a coincidence?
This is exactly what Yang Zhen couldn't figure out. Taishang Laojun was a clone of a saint, and he had personally come forward to plot against others, so he naturally had to care.
Although the Supreme Saint advocates the rule of inaction, this is the most terrifying point. It makes people unable to guess the real purpose of Taishang Laojun. They can only act inadvertently according to the script designed by Taishang Laojun, and those who fall in love often do not know it.
Yang Zhen did not think that a small "Journey to the West" incident was worth the effort of the Supreme Saint.
