Chapter 706 - 399: Corpse Lotus_2
He leapt from his cave dwelling and transformed into a streak of light flying across the sky.
Apart from a few exceptional species born with unique bloodlines, most Fourth Grade spirit beasts choose to transform their bodies into human forms.
Because the human form is the most recognized by the rules of Heaven and Earth, it is the most conducive to cultivation and makes it easier to connect with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Just like that, the wolf-headed human-shaped Fourth Grade spirit beast broke through the limitations of life and race to achieve the Fourth Grade.
In terms of talent and opportunity, he was truly a favored child of Heaven and Earth.
It is known that it is extremely difficult for spirit beasts to reach the Fourth Grade. Were it not for their lifespans far exceeding those of humans, giving them more time to cultivate, there wouldn’t be so many Fourth Grade spirit beasts today.
The wolf-headed human-shaped Fourth Grade spirit beast thought of the Corpse Lotus. It was a special corpse he had come across by chance—a corpse with an extremely terrifying aura that even he could not directly face back then.
Intending to make use of that corpse, he thought of employing a Corpse Lotus. Luckily, he had acquired the seedpod of a corpse lotus, though only a second grade, the uniqueness of a Corpse Lotus lies in its ability to absorb corpses of any grade, which would then determine its own grade.
It had been more than a thousand years since then, and after devouring the Corpse Lotus, his strength could increase yet again.
Probably only the lengthy lifespans of spirit beasts allowed them to engage in the cultivation of spiritual medicine like this, for even a Nascent Soul Ancestor among human cultivators would only have a lifespan of a thousand years at most, making it quite unlikely to witness the maturation of a Corpse Lotus.
When Li Yuanba sensed the auras of the Golden Core cultivators disappearing one after another, he continued to move forward from his hiding spot.
He moved with extreme caution, and the Yin Cold power of his environment had a bolstering effect on his Corpse Refining state, greatly enhancing the effectiveness of his concealment as he moved.
