Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 455 The Six Ferocious Beasts: Comprehending the Beast God's Illustrated Record
"All of you here are the most powerful and highest-level soul beasts on this continent, and the traces of your lives are even longer than mine."

"Perhaps you feel uneasy at heart, wondering why someone who hasn't lived as long as you should be the one to teach you cultivation?"

"Humans are humans, and soul beasts are soul beasts; how can their cultivation methods be the same?"

"However, no matter how it changes, it does not deviate from the original principle."

"Soul beasts focus on physical cultivation and devouring, while soul masters focus on refining order and rules."

"Therefore, even if a soul beast cultivates for tens of thousands of years, it may not be able to comprehend a single skill. However, a soul master can acquire several soul skills from a soul beast in just a few decades. Even a ten-year or hundred-year-old soul beast can bring a soul master a skill."

"why is that?"

Lake of Life, on Peach Blossom Island.

Su Ran lightly wielded his brush, and drops of ink floated onto the jade plate, forming characters that were reflected on the lake.

On the side, Tang Wutong was elegantly grinding ink for Su Ran, fully demonstrating the decorum expected of a priestly family.

However, beneath this dignified facade lies the first tide of the sea, like the gentle waves before a tsunami, constantly washing over the fine sand and slowly submerging and swallowing the coastline.

If the High Priest could see this scene, he would surely pray with tears in his eyes before his ancestors:
"Ancestors of the Haotian Sect, your sacrifices were worthwhile. Do you see? Your great-granddaughter has finally overcome numerous barriers and stood beside Immortal Master Su, ready to serve him personally."

……

Su Ran's question about the differences in cultivation between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts was like a small stone thrown into a calm lake. It seemed to make only a splash, but in reality, it would change the future of these ferocious beasts and was related to the very foundation of Soul Beast cultivation.

This also angered the several ferocious beasts present.

Xiong Jun was the first to lose his temper, acting like a simple-minded and impulsive student in class, and said indignantly:

"Teacher, this is where God is unfair to us soul beasts. It's really damn bad."

"We have clearly put in more effort and faced greater difficulties in survival, but after tens of thousands of years of growth, we still cannot defeat a Soul Master who has only cultivated for a few decades, and we are destined to become nourishment for humanity."

"Weak beasts are hunted by humans to become food, while powerful soul beasts are regarded as nourishment by soul masters. The only path to strengthening is also blocked. Even among soul beasts, they kill and devour each other to fight for a sliver of survival... We soul beasts are truly miserable."

Even Brigitte's face showed a hint of sadness when she said this.

As the gentlest and kindest top-tier healing-type soul beast in the most dangerous place, she has a clearer understanding of the plight of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Moreover, she pays more attention to details and is more compassionate than Xiong Jun and Di Tian. She has seen how difficult it is for soul beasts to survive.

Upon hearing Bi Ji mention this, Di Tian lowered his head in self-reproach.

He launched several beast tides, hoping to drive the Soul Masters out of the Star Dou Great Forest and strengthen the Soul Beasts, but this also led to the deaths of many Soul Beasts.

Dear Brigitte blamed him for this many times, and for thousands of years she refused to speak to him, and there is still some distance between them now.

"But there's nothing we can do about it. That's just how things are. The strong prey on the weak. That's the law of nature."

"Don't forget that the purpose of our study with Master Su is not to discuss who is more miserable, nor to shake the laws of nature, but to find a way out for ourselves and all soul beasts, just like for soul masters."

"At least, we are no longer trapped beasts, but creatures roaming the world, possessing freedom and self-expression!"

Di Tian spoke, his tone filled with longing for the world.

They had indeed been trapped under this dense forest for far too long. If they weren't forced to, who wouldn't want to roam the vast world?
"If our teacher can explain the gap between soul beasts and soul masters, and teach us how to bridge that gap, I, Di Tian, ​​will never forget your kindness!"

The Black Dragon Emperor bowed slightly towards Peach Blossom Island.

The enormous dragon head slammed into the ground, causing the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters to tremble.

Su Ran stopped keeping them in suspense and, under the expectant gazes of Gu Yue and the group of soul beasts, spoke calmly:
"The difference between soul beasts and soul masters lies in only two aspects. First, innate intelligence. Soul beasts' intelligence grows too slowly; as the saying goes, a smart person can easily defeat a fool. Second, it's about plundering soul power and gathering souls into a ring!"

"This first point of intelligence is innate. Unless one has a great opportunity, it can only be slowly improved with the growth of one's cultivation level. Only when one has nearly 100,000 years of cultivation or more can one possess intelligence comparable to that of an adult."

"And the second point is that soul beasts can do the same things as soul masters, or even better."

"Humans are physically weak and have physical bottlenecks. They cannot break through their limits through their own cultivation. Therefore, they will stop every nine levels of soul power improvement and need to use the soul power cultivation of hundreds or thousands of years in the body of a soul beast to help them break through. They also need to guide and condense this soul power in circles. However, when this soul power is condensed to a certain degree and a certain purity, it will be integrated with the power of one's own martial soul to form a ring of order - that is, the so-called soul ring."

"The more concentrated and pure the soul power, the deeper and brighter the color will be, resulting in a progression of white, yellow, purple, black, and red."

"Since Soul Masters can gather their souls into rings and obtain Soul Skills from Soul Beasts, why can't Soul Beasts do the same thing?"

"Perhaps you yourselves don't realize that when a soul beast's cultivation level reaches a certain point, such as 100,000 years, 200,000 years, or even higher, even without deliberately condensing and concentrating it, just a little guidance is needed to condense this soul power into a certain characteristic or a certain point within its body, which is enough to form a ring of order, thus giving birth to the self-created domains and self-created soul skills that you now possess."

"This is why it is difficult for low-level soul beasts to possess soul skills, while high-level soul beasts always acquire soul skills without realizing it."

"Soul beasts, what a group that enjoys the resources of heaven and earth but does not make full use of them."

"However, this is also the law of nature. God gave soul beasts the best physical vessels, but not the intelligent mind that knew how to use them."

"If you can make full use of your cultivation, learn to fight and cultivate like a Soul Master, it will be easy to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation."

On Peach Blossom Island, Su Ran sighed deeply.

These words were definitely not meant to appease these ferocious beasts, but rather were his heartfelt sentiments.

Imagine how powerful the divine beast clan led by the Dragon God was back then. The remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings under his command after their fall could be transformed into a treasure land like the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The immortal flowers and herbs that were born there after absorbing the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were enough to allow a Soul Master to transform into a god. This shows how enormous the energy contained within a Soul Beast is.

The deities, who are on par with the mythical beasts, need to rely on the primordial divine essence left behind by the creator god to maintain the operation of their divine positions. They store their divine power within their divine positions to ensure that the divine positions in the divine realm remain unchanged and immortal.

In terms of ideal cultivation potential, soul beasts are indeed stronger than humans.

Therefore, the Divine Realm Committee ultimately chose to curb the path of soul beasts to godhood, completely extinguishing the possibility of divine beasts rising from the ashes.

Imagine if humans were born to be superior to soul beasts, and were naturally stronger than soul beasts, then why bother with all that?
In Su Ran's eyes, there was no right or wrong here, only eight words:

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Su Ran's words sent a shiver down the spines of Di Tian, ​​Xiong Jun, Chi Wang, Zi Ji, Bi Ji, and even Gu Yue.

Gu Yue couldn't help but ask:
"Husband..."

"Please call me teacher."

"Okay, teacher." "Teacher, do you mean that even hundred-year-old or thousand-year-old soul beasts can actually awaken soul skills?"

Su Ran calmly took a sip of peach blossom tea to moisten her throat. Anyone who has been a teacher knows that lecturing is very taxing on the voice.

After one or two classes, I didn't want to talk at all when I got home.

A valuable teaching aid and a must-have for every home – choose Fairy Throat Peach Blossom Tea.

“That’s right. As long as you can consciously refine the soul power within your body, even a ten-year-old soul beast can possess soul skills. This is your own power.”

"I have several key points of the Beast God Technique here. They will not only allow you to better control your own power and awaken the soul skills that should belong to you, but also allow you to make full use of your soul power to refine your beast bodies and bones, so that you can break through the cultivation bottleneck that occurs once every 100,000 years without any hindrance, and directly break through the million-year bottleneck."

"What you want, you can take."

"This is also your first lesson in Peach Blossom Spring: returning to the source and getting to know yourself."

Su Ran said calmly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he threw out a book of beasts from his palm.

This encyclopedia of beasts floated in mid-air above the Lake of Life, emanating a unique fluctuation and a sacred aura. Even Di Tian and Gu Yue were drawn to it by the fluctuations. Each page of the encyclopedia displayed a moving image of a soul beast of a particular race.

The ability bestowed upon them by Teacher Su Ran was too tempting for them.

It should be understood that what a 100,000-year-old soul beast fears most is not the hunting by soul masters, but the heavenly tribulation triggered by the 100,000-year bottleneck, and the divine tribulation of a million years is an inevitable death sentence.

This was fully verified when the Deep Sea Demon Whale King ascended to become a dragon ten thousand years ago, only to be cut down by the Sea God with a single halberd.

However, the Beast God Technique contained in this Beast God Catalogue allows them to ignore the age limit and even have the opportunity to break through a million years of cultivation.

For Di Tian and Xiong Jun, its allure was no less than that of placing a pair of long, beautiful legs clad in black stockings in front of Wa Xuedi, whom they had been drooling over for ten years—a delicacy beyond compare.

Xiong Jun let out a deep roar. Although his body looked clumsy, his explosive power was terrifying. He left a large crater under his feet and charged towards the Beast God Catalogue in mid-air like a lead ball.

But something unexpected happened. Xiong Jun, like an asteroid colliding with a planet, ultimately seemed to have rushed into cotton, and his figure vanished from the Beast God Catalogue in a flash.

Just as the enormous ferocious beast was terrified, thinking that this reckless and clumsy bear had been physically destroyed and vanished into thin air.

The body of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King was reflected on the surface of the Lake of Life.

In the scene, Xiong Jun enters a vast mining area and wanders aimlessly, seemingly puzzled as to why he ended up here while taking pictures.

Until he reached the edge of a deep abyss of layered rocks.

Suddenly, the earth trembled.

Large areas of ore in the abyss were shaken off.

A terrifying giant bear, hundreds of meters tall, suddenly rose, carrying fragments of black iron rock, and slammed it against the abyss's rock wall. With a deafening roar, the black iron ore on the rock wall shattered like glass.

The giant bear opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar—it wasn't just a simple sound, but a physical attack that transformed into sound waves:

The sound waves, like giant, dark golden waves, crashed against the abyss ore, causing the rock walls to collapse on a large scale, and countless layers of rock and iron ore instantly turned into dust.

Divine Bear Overlord Body.

It rampages through mountains thousands of meters high, blasting out dozens or even hundreds of holes, and can easily topple a mountain peak.

Dark Gold Divine Claw!

Sky tearing claw!
The enormous divine bear leaped into the air, its claws radiating a devastating power.

It tore the sky into pieces, turning the sky into fragments.

Then, the enormous bear god turned around, its dark golden pupils meeting the bear king's gaze from afar, as if to say:

"Child, how much of the true meaning of the Beast God have you grasped?"

Such power made the usually arrogant Xiong Jun, who was watching the catalog, tremble with fear!

He felt the suppression of his bloodline!

How could I possibly have time to comprehend it?
If he wasn't mistaken, this giant bear was the form in which their Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan had broken through the million-year limit and become a divine beast.

—The Sky-Tearing Bear God!
Such power was so great that even Di Tian and Zi Ji, who were viewing it from outside the Beast God Record, could feel a dark cloud pressing down on them.

"Is this the power of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan after they became divine beasts?"

"Could this Beast God Atlas contain a method that allows our various races to become gods? And a way for us to experience the power of the divine beasts of each race?"

It was Murasaki who reacted first.

Those captivating eyes that once held Master Su on Peach Blossom Island now held disbelief and reverence.

Without the slightest hesitation, she gently flapped her wings and entered the Beast God Catalogue to search for the divine miracles of her Hell Dragon Clan.

That was the Yellow Springs of Hell, where a giant dragon, its body entirely purplish-black, opened its eyes and greedily absorbed the death energy of the undead in Hell.

Its hellish claws rested on the Yellow Springs Riverbed, beneath which lay countless white bones. Its dragon roars were filled with allure, and it spewed forth hellish black flames. Not to mention heavenly tribulations, it could burn the boundless glaciers, mountains and rivers, the sky, and even souls to ashes, leaving only deathly silence.

The Deification of the Hell Dragon King—The World-Destroying Dragon!
The appearance of the two ferocious beasts' divine statues and cultivation techniques made Di Tian, ​​Chi Wang, Wan Yao Wang, and Bi Ji, who were watching from the shore, unable to contain themselves any longer.

They bowed slightly to Su Ran and greeted her, then rushed into the Beast God Record to embark on their respective clans' paths to godhood.

Even the three-eyed golden lion kept patting its left paw and right paw by the lakeside, its eyes reflecting the scene in the lake—these bodyguards and their owners had such a majestic side, making it unable to resist wanting to go in and see its own divine side.

Just as it was about to rush into the lake to comprehend the Beast God Technique, it was unexpectedly surrounded by clusters of peach blossoms, which took it to Peach Blossom Island.

A pair of long, warm hands stroked its fur, making it feel very comfortable.

Accompanied by the young man's soft voice:
“Little Golden Lion, you are an imperial auspicious beast. I have a set of cultivation methods for auspicious beasts to teach you. You don’t need to suffer through this book to comprehend the techniques.”
