Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master
Chapter 1371 - 542: Spiritual Nature Difference (2)
Hundreds of fine beams of light dissipated consecutively, leaving only a layer of yellow membrane on the yellow light cluster, akin to yellow paper.
A human hand tore the yellow paper, and then the bare body stood upright. The young man "Huang Yue" revealed himself in front of Cang Yazi.
Huang Yue opened his mouth and uttered human speech to Cang Yazi: "M-Master."
Cang Yazi’s eyes were already red, and he couldn’t help but laugh heartily. He jumped off the rock and quickly walked to Huang Yue, retrieving a beast skin garment to cover him.
"Transformation succeeded! Huang Yue, from now on, you can cultivate with a human body. Your cultivation will advance rapidly, freeing you from the constraints of the Spiritual Beast Clan and completely breaking through the limits."
Cang Yazi was proficient in one of the Cultivation Hundred Skills, the Beast Taming Skill.
The school he follows is the Transformation School.
This school’s characteristic is converting pet beasts into human form for cultivation. Then, in battle, they revert to their original form, thus combining strength and intellect.
Beast form and human form each have their merits. The former is tough and fierce, while the latter is wise and insightful.
When pet beasts transform into human form, they can cultivate countless cultivation techniques in the Cultivation World, with wisdom continuously generated and spiritual nature filled in, breaking past the limits of beasts. After all, humans are the spirit of all things. In this era, the human form is inherently favored and loved by heaven and earth.
Generally speaking, if a pet beast can cultivate a Nascent Soul in human form, its body can transform into a child-like appearance. This is transformation.
But this kind of transformation is often not complete.
On one hand, because of the cultivation technique. Most pet beasts practice demon cultivation techniques, which can be traced back to the era of the Blood Slaughter Dynasty. Demon cultivation techniques usually enhance the innate advantages of demon beasts, like claws, wings, and venomous stingers.
Even if they practice Human Clan techniques, they aren’t tailored for pet beasts. Therefore, even if the Dan Breaks into Infant, the infant isn’t completely human form and retains some beast-like traits.
On the other hand, the difficulty itself is high.
Transformation is akin to changing the form of life. Humans and beasts are two separate species from the start, now to completely transform from one end to the other, the higher the degree of transformation, the more terrifying the difficulty.
Huang Yue himself is merely at the Golden Core Level, not yet at the stage of Dan Breaks into Infant.
The spiritual nature of beasts is limited, with low comprehension. Even with superior techniques, it’s difficult for them to understand the essence of the techniques. Hence, their proactive cultivation is extremely slow.
To wait until Huang Yue reaches the stage of Dan Breaks into Infant, it would take at least a few hundred years.
Cang Yazi’s school of beast taming aims to allow pet beasts like Huang Yue to transform ahead of time. Before reaching Nascent Soul, they can attain a human body.
Once they have a human body, under the interaction of heaven and man, spiritual nature naturally enhances, and comprehension follows.
The human body can adapt to the vast majority of cultivation techniques. And these cultivation techniques are not ancient techniques but the outcome of countless sages’ exploration, experimentation, and improvement.
Of course, if the pet beast itself has practiced cultivation techniques, they may need to practice concurrently or transform and improve the techniques.
This is only a minor flaw.
Flaws do not obscure virtues.
Owning a human body, especially acquiring it ahead of time, brings immense benefits.
The Nascent Soul form of Dan Breaks into Infant will be far closer to human than beast form cultivation, becoming more thorough at later stages of transformation.
Cang Yazi’s Divine Sense enveloped Huang Yue, thoroughly understanding his physical condition.
"Seven parts of your meridians are ruptured, many of your organs are misplaced, and Divine Sense has dispersed by thirty percent."
"You need to recuperate for a while. During this time, it’s best to stay in bed, without fighting or cultivating."
Huang Yue nodded: "Understood, Master."
He had learned in advance, but using human speech with flesh for the first time still needs a period of familiarization.
Cang Yazi took Huang Yue into the Cave Mansion, settled him in, and then fell into deep thought.
Earth Dragon Huang Yue has overcome this monumental challenge of transformation, promising endless benefits. But Cang Yazi still has several Spiritual Beasts around him, yet to transform.
For example, Blue-eyed Water Ape, Frost Horned Celestial Deer, and Red-capped Black Feather Crane.
These Spiritual Beasts have accompanied Cang Yazi for many years, serving as his pet beasts and loyal companions.
From Cang Yazi’s perspective, he doesn’t want any pet beast to fail transformation and lose their life.
But for the pet beasts to have a brighter future, transforming ahead of time is unavoidable.
"If I can obtain the Nanming Fire Furnace and Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit, the various elixir pills refined would be undoubtedly exceptional!"
Cang Yazi majors in Beast Taming Skill and minors in Alchemy. He specializes in refining five types of elixir pills: Transformation Pill, Beast King Pill, Beast Essence Pill, Beast Spirit Pill, and Beast Food Pill.
The Transformation Pill can allow Spiritual Beasts to transform ahead of time.
Beast King Pill assists Spiritual Beasts in possessing kingly aura, becoming the king of their tribe.
Beast Essence Pill can enhance a Spiritual Beast’s cultivation level.
Beast Spirit Pill serves to elevate a Spiritual Beast’s wisdom.
Beast Food Pill is the most complex, crafted by tailoring different nutrients according to the species and growth state of the Spiritual Beast.
"A piece of artifact, if it can generate spiritual nature, will undoubtedly be more precious."
"If I can possess the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit, I shall exchange for the Spirit Awakening Secret Technique, which can at least help the Red-capped Black Feather Crane ascend."
"After all, Vermilion Bird and Crane both belong to the avian category."
Cang Yazi’s expertise in Beast Taming Skill is exceptional, and from his professional perspective, if he himself can wield the Nanming Fire Furnace, the transformation of Red-capped Black Feather Crane will surely be the easiest and safest.
Myriad Images Sect, Bixue Mountain Gate.
Blood Pill Cave Mansion.
A blood-red Pill Furnace stands at the center of the Cave Mansion, standing nearly as tall as a person, with three legs and two handles, its body a deep dark red—the color of blood coagulated—dark, heavy, with a nauseatingly sweet and pungent smell.
