Chapter 118: Trap
The cat demon nodded and said, "It was simply a matter of luck for me. In my youth, I instinctively absorbed the spiritual power of heaven and earth, along with the essence of the sun and moon. After I began cultivating, I encountered a senior bamboo demon, who used a drop of Imperial Elixir to enlighten me, granting me innate wisdom and the ability to speak human language."
Hearing this, Qin Sang suddenly understood.
The realm of demonic beasts was divided into the Ordinary Demon Realm, Demonic Spirit Realm, Demon Core Realm, and Transformation Realm.
The origins and bloodlines of demonic beasts were incredibly complex.
Some demonic beasts with powerful bloodlines could reach the level of Golden Core Realm cultivators upon maturity, though their intelligence might not be particularly high. Meanwhile, legendary ancient divine beasts were born with strength comparable to human experts, and their wisdom equaled that of humans, yet they could not reach the Transformation Realm easily.
Demonic beasts like the white cat, being ordinary beasts, were akin to mortals. They first instinctively absorbed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, then cultivated step by step. The difficulty they faced was no less than that of human cultivators.
When demonic beasts in the Ordinary Demon Realm advanced to the Demonic Spirit Realm, they gradually awakened their intelligence, but they remained bound by their instincts. It was only after condensing a demonic core and entering the Demonic Core Realm that their intelligence increased significantly. Eventually, they would undergo the tribulation of transformation and become great demons of the Transformation Realm, indistinguishable from human cultivators.
Imperial Elixir was a miraculous substance birthed by heaven and earth when a demonic beast underwent the tribulation of transformation. Records described it as resembling countless olives, strung together by golden threads and hanging down to the mortal world. Plants and trees that absorbed its essence could become demons.
It was said that Imperial Elixir was indispensable for demonic beasts to transform and was immensely beneficial to human cultivators as well. It could also directly awaken the intelligence of ordinary beasts, making it a highly coveted treasure for countless demonic beasts.
