NOVPUBThe Spirit Chickens sensed something and hurriedly dodged while crying out.
However, with their limited Spiritual Wisdom, how could they withstand these Incense Fire Dao Cultivators, whose Souls are naturally powerful?
Accompanied by the sounds of sorrowful cries,
the eyes of these Spirit Chickens and Spirit Turtles also changed from turbid and blank to gradually becoming clear.
"Divine Venerable! Divine Venerable, do not kill me... Eh? Why is there a Fire Method in my mind... wait, isn’t this the Immortal Ascension inheritance?!"
"Immortal Ascension Water Method... Once perfected, can one break free from the Evil God’s control?"
"Harem System? Each time I impregnate a female Cultivator, it provides cultivation methods and resources?! Ha ha, with so many beautiful female Cultivators, I won’t be polite then!"
"Um... am I Xiaofan from the Blue Star? Did my transmigration turn me into a chicken? No way! I’m still a virgin; I must find a way to transform, at least grow that thing... Huh? This chicken even has a Talent Cultivation Method? Perfect! I’m truly the protagonist!"
"Focus System? Hmm, women only hinder cultivation; I must focus on cultivating..."
"..."
Wang Ba’s gaze quietly swept over these creatures, which could no longer be considered Spirit Beasts.
Their memories, concepts, and even their five senses had been completely altered by him, and he had also granted them more cultivation inheritances than they originally possessed.
All of this was to obtain Dao Intention.
Dao Intention arises from a Cultivator’s practice of cultivation methods, leading to a continuous deepening understanding of heaven and earth and oneself.
The cultivation of these Incense Fire Dao Cultivators almost entirely relies on feedback from the Evil God, so they neither possess Dao Secrets nor hardly any Dao Intention.
Wang Ba could only try various methods to guide these Incense Fire Dao Cultivators who occupied the bodies of Spirit Beasts to concentrate on cultivation, hoping to see if Dao Intention could be generated in this manner.
He also had to test whether Spirit Beasts that had already formed Dao Intention could pass it on to their offspring through their bloodline.
This was the plan Wang Ba had conceived.
It might not succeed.
Observation and adjustments would be necessary throughout the process.
But it was a direction nonetheless.
"If it really doesn’t work... I might have to think of a way to snatch more Incense Fire Dao Cultivators from the Evil God."
Wang Ba thought to himself.
If he wanted to consolidate a thousand Dao Domains, starting from accumulating Dao Intention would need an astonishing number; relying solely on those Incense Fire Dao Cultivators would likely not be enough. Conversely, if the Spirit Beasts could successfully inherit Dao Intention, that would be the most likely method to create a Taoist Field.
Atop an Azure Fire Paulownia Tree, Erya looked at the Spirit Chickens below, whose personalities had greatly changed and were talking to themselves; she couldn’t help but shudder and quickly retreated into the foliage of the tree.
Wang Ba noticing this, couldn’t help but shake his head slightly,
"Having the blood of the mighty Vermilion Bird yet being so timid, it seems I must also consider how to purify its bloodline."
Thinking of this, he also thought of another one of his Spirit Beasts that possessed divine beast blood—the Hybrid White Tiger.
Just as he pondered, the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone suddenly vibrated.
Wang Ba swept his Spiritual Sence over it and then revealed a smile,
"As expected of Martial Uncle Qi, he also thought of this."
He casually gathered up the remains of those Incense Fire Dao Cultivators; although he didn’t know what use they might have, he decided not to waste them.
He then exited the Pearl Dungeon.
Not long after, Qi Yan flew over.
Wang Ba didn’t delay, immediately taking out the Hybrid White Tiger and handing it over to Qi Yan.
"I appreciate your efforts, Martial Uncle."
Qi Yan waved his hand,
"You are now the Deputy Sect Master of the sect; how can you still address me in the old way."
Wang Ba smiled,
"When we are alone, I can’t simply call you by your name... Martial Uncle, do you have any leads?"
Qi Yan didn’t dwell on the formalities and quickly said,
"I plan to start from the descendants of the divine beasts. Since Class V divine beasts possess Dao Secrets and even Dao Domains, perhaps the Class IV divine beast descendants also possess them, but we need to confirm whether it comes from their bloodline or something else."
Wang Ba nodded, and the two exchanged a few more words about the cultivation of Spirit Beasts,then Qi Yan hurriedly left.
Wang Ba also returned to the Pearl Dungeon and continued to observe and cultivate those Spirit Chickens and Spirit Turtles.
It’s worth mentioning that the Enlightened Turtle that Wang Ba fished out from the North Sea, having undergone a lengthy basking under the Azure Fire Paulownia Tree, finally awoke from its hibernation.
After all, being a Class IV middle grade, the Enlightened Turtle possessed high Spiritual Wisdom, akin to humans; although it couldn’t speak the human language, it keenly sensed the dangers lurking around and honestly submerged itself into the Spirit Turtle Pond.
Wang Ba did not mind.
A Class IV middle grade Spirit Turtle was, after all, nothing much to worry about with the Wu Monkey King guarding; it couldn’t stir up any trouble.
Moreover, he had already locked up this Enlightened Turtle with a Class IV Spirit Beast Collar.
Time, then, passed quietly, bit by bit.
...
"The taste of this Chunqiuzui Wine is truly exceptional!"
Atop Wanfa Peak.
Zhao Feng, who normally had no particular fondness for gastronomic delights, holding the wine jug, couldn’t help but exclaim.
Opposite him, Wang Ba showed a look of regret,
"This is the secret of Spirit Wine Peak and is not passed down lightly. It’s a pity it has only just been brewed, and the flavors haven’t fully matured yet... If senior brother likes it, feel free to take a few jugs."
Bu Chan brewed quite a lot this time, and apart from a small portion, all were buried at the peak of Wanfa Peak, to be taken out and drunk at unspecified future times.
Of course, Wang Ba harbored a little hope that this spirit wine could be stored until it reached ten thousand years.
The effects of ten thousand-year-aged Chunqiuzui Wine were unknown to anyone.
