477 Land of Treasure (1/2)
”The environment has brought up many different groups of people. To the ancient martial art practitioners, leading a life of ease and comfort may not be a good thing. Only when one has experienced hardship and obstacles would he be able to become a true ancient martial art practitioner.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Mo Wen had lived across two lifetimes and experienced things that some people never would have experienced. Hence, he understood some principles very thoroughly. Back in those years, he had tackled the mysterious foggy mountains on his own and managed to survive. Thus, the Mo Wen of today managed to appear.
It was no wonder that Chen Zi's battle skills and techniques were so strong, and was comparable to a battle master. Living in such an environment had exposed her to long-term trainings and battles. Naturally, she was far ahead of the average ancient martial art practitioners.
Hence, one should not judge Chen Zi purely by her Cultivation of the Qi Nucleation realm. In a battle of life and death, she could very possibly threaten and ancient martial art practitioner in the main space with the Embryonic Breathing realm, if he was not experienced in battles.
”That's right. Us ancient martial art practitioners of the Inner world are the true ancient martial art practitioners of Hua Xia Country. It's so laughable that those international superpowered people think of the ancient martial art practitioners in the main space as the real martial art practitioners of Hua Xia Country. They are always trying so hard to challenge them. They simply have too narrow a view of the world.”
Chen Zi nodded her head. Other than a few secretive ancient martial art sects in the main space, most of the ancient martial art sects had lost the true essence of Hua Xia's martial arts. To put things harshly, they were just useless things that looked good – they appeared nice but were of no use.
There were so many young talents in Huatian Palace and their natural talents could not stop flowing out. Although the training from Huatian Palace had played a part, the very basis of such a phenomenon was because 95 percent and above of the youths had hailed from the Inner world. They were not ancient martial art practitioners from the main space, which also explained their natural talents.
In the main space, even an ancient martial art practitioner of 20 over years old with the Qi Nucleation realm was a rare find. There would be praises everywhere for such a person. However, in the context of the Inner world, it was simply not even worth a mention. In some of the more powerful Inner worlds, it was not surprising even for a young ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm to exist.
”What do you guys call such a type of mythical beast?”
Mo Wen looked at the Phantom Wolf Cat that was lying in his palm and licking him gently, as he asked with curiosity.
”A monstrous beast. It is a type of mutated beast that is different from the usual animals. They possess very strong powers. You have also experienced it just now that the Phantom Wolf Cat alone is enough to kill off an ancient martial art practitioner with the Qi Nucleation realm. Amongst the monstrous beasts, there are some that are exceptionally strong. Some are even able to kill an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm.”
”A hundred years ago, an ancient martial art practitioner with the peak of the Golden Elixir realm had appeared in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. However, during an expedition into the woods, he had died in the hands of an unknown monstrous beast. Hence, I have said that the Inner world is a dangerous place. Even if you have a Cultivation at the very peak of all ancient martial art practitioners, you are still in a lot of danger.”
Chen Zi glanced into the dense mountainous forest. Internally, she knew that if they wanted to come out of it alive, it would not be so simple. It would have been alright if it had been those usual natural forests. However, if it were those deserted forests where people have labelled as brutal, it was not guaranteed whether they would even come out alive.
Hence, at this point, she could only pray in her heart that they were only entering a normal forest and not an old deserted brutal land.
She did not tell Mo Wen anything about it as she did not want to affect him and cause unnecessary anxiety.
It was the first time that she had encountered such a situation of being transported into the wilderness. At the moment, her heart could not remain calm.
”Why have you become scared?”
Mo Wen's lips curled upwards. Although Chen Zi had masked it very well, it could not have escaped his eyes.
”It's not that, I am just a little worried about Intentionless Sect. Let's go. And let's hope we will be able to walk out of the forest by the time the sun rises.”
Chen Zi featured a bright smile and she suppressed all the uneasiness within her. Then, she led the way into the forest.
Mo Wen followed behind Chen Zi deep in thought. Monstrous beast? Everything was actually so coincidental. In that lifetime, they had also named these type of beasts as monstrous beasts. However, Mo Wen did not have a very thorough understanding of the meaning behind its name.
In comparison to humans, that monstrous beast did not lose out to humans. Their powers were not any worse than that of ancient martial art practitioners.
However, in comparison to ancient martial art practitioners, the monstrous beast was somehow the type to be naturally talented. They are beasts after all and would not be too intelligent. Perhaps their intelligence might be higher than the usual wild animals. But, it was too big a gap between them and humans.
They could not train themselves unlike the ancient martial art practitioners. Instead, because of the power in their blood, they had been able to amass their power over time. Often, they did not need to train, They simply had to be influenced by their surroundings in order to naturally enter the process of training.
Generally speaking, the longer a monstrous beast lived, the stronger the power. Of course, whether or not a monstrous beast could become powerful was limited by their bloodline and type. For some of the types, even living for a long time would not improve their powers significantly. Meanwhile, for some of the more powerful types, even though they had just been born, their powers would already be exceptional.
Other than the monstrous beast, there was another species called the monsters.
If one compared the monsters to humans, monsters could be likened to the Immortal Cultivators in humans.
From a certain perspective, monsters had already separated themselves from the category pf beasts. They possessed their own flexible thinking, thoughts and intelligence that were not any worse off than humans. Some of the monsters were even smarter than humans.
Monsters were spirits in the heavens and earth. They possessed various human thoughts and desires, and also had very plentiful emotions. At the same time, they also knew how to learn and train.
A monster's cultivation was just like that of an Immortal Cultivator's. If one was able to Cultivate the Virtue and Justice realm, one would exist as a monster god.
If some of the monstrous beasts got lucky and managed to evolve once more, it was very possible for them to become a monster.
Hence, one was called a monstrous beast and the other just a monster. The difference between them was encompassed in their names.
In his past life, in order to differentiate between the two, he had named the beasts without their own thoughts as monstrous beasts, so as to set them apart from the monsters.
