NOVPUBBut for Su Changkong, improving his strength was what mattered most. Even if it cost a fortune, as long as it could lead to a breakthrough in his Cultivation Technique, it was all worth it!
"Looking at their growth… Perhaps I really could cultivate a True Beast!"
Su Changkong quietly observed the chosen Alien Beasts growing robustly, which filled him with great satisfaction and anticipation.
With his own True Blood, Saint Level Dragon Transforming Pill Medicine, and the fact that each of the fifty Alien Beasts was meticulously selected by Su Changkong from the Crescent Sea for their potential, he was determined to turn the impossible into possible!
Everything seemed to be developing in a positive direction.
Su Changkong lived a very regular life, crafting Dragon Transforming Pills, watching the growth of each Alien Beast, regularly feeding them with his True Blood to strengthen their veins’ power, and hunting Alien Beasts to consume and replenish his own depleted True Blood.
This period was exceedingly busy for Su Changkong; he wished he could split himself in two to cope, barely managing to squeeze in time for his own cultivation.
Time flew by, and within the blink of an eye, more than a year, almost two, had passed.
In the Crescent Sea, Su Changkong was closely observing an Alien Beast in the deep sea with furrowed brows.
It was an immensely large sea snake, almost two hundred meters in length, covered with shield-like, thick scales. When its mouth opened, it could swallow rivers; two horns grew on its head, and claws were emerging below it, looking both majestic and fierce.
"Why is this happening? I have given each of these fifty Alien Beasts a large amount of my True Blood, and each has consumed four or five Dragon Transforming Pills; but now, they’ve all hit a bottleneck at the same time, unable to grow further or metamorphose into a True Beast…"
Su Changkong’s mouth twitched.
Under Su Changkong’s cultivation, these Alien Beasts had grown rapidly, advancing at an incredible pace. In just one or two years, each had reached the ultimate level that an Alien Beast could achieve. In places like the Great Flame Empire, each one could easily sweep aside all Innate warriors, with only Martial Saints capable of handling them!
But that was all they could be—regardless of their strength, they were still just Alien Beasts and could not be compared with genuine True Beasts.
This made it difficult for Su Changkong to accept the outcome. Despite carefully selecting fifty potential Alien Beasts and investing so much of his own True Blood and nearly ten thousand taels of Primordial Liquid, not a single one had managed to metamorphose into a True Beast!
"Fifty potent Alien Beasts, into each of which I’ve invested such immense resources—surely, among them, there must be at least one that could metamorphose into a True Beast, right? What exactly is the key element here?"
Su Changkong’s brows knitted tightly as he pondered deeply. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
"To achieve Martial Saint status, a Human Warrior needs more than just Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and Five Qi towards the Yuan. A crucial factor… is the strengthening of the soul to reach the Soul Realm! Only then can one be qualified to become a Martial Saint; otherwise, even if one possesses a Divine Seed, one does not have the right to refine it. Could it be that the reason these Alien Beasts are unable to evolve into True Beasts is due to something related to the soul?"
A thought struck Su Changkong, and he suddenly realized a key issue.
Human beings are inherently weak and can only gradually become more powerful through acquired cultivation.
But Alien Beasts and True Beasts are inherently powerful!
Nature, however, has its own way of maintaining balance. The strongest aspect of Alien Beasts and True Beasts is their physical bodies; when it comes to natural talent in the soul aspect, they are quite ordinary!
Particularly for Alien Beasts—regardless of how much they metamorphose or grow, if their souls remain ordinary, they cannot achieve the synergy between soul and body needed to transform into a True Beast!
Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why Alien Beasts find it difficult to metamorphose into True Beasts and could also explain why, despite Su Changkong’s significant investment of resources, not a single one of these fifty Alien Beasts has managed to transform into a True Beast!
