Chapter 328 - 327: The Path of Beasts and the Path of Humans
Despite the Lingxi world being much smaller than the nine-states world, it still houses over ten billion human inhabitants. If ten percent of them die due to detachment from their contracts, it will result in over a billion deaths.
“Is there any way to increase the success rate?”
“Yes, however, I’m not clear on the specifics.” Elder Tang Xing did have a more optimized method.
“Unlock the spirit wisdom of the beasts. The difficulty in breaking the spirit contract in this world lies in the foul chaos of the beasts and their unclear spirit wisdom.”
“The Human Emperor should also be aware of the six realms of reincarnation.”
“Of course, I know. The six realms of reincarnation are Heaven, Human, Animal, Asura, Hell, and Hungry Ghost.”
Jiang Li is unfamiliar with the way of the contract but well-versed in souls.
“The six realms of reincarnation reflect your Yin Virtue. Heaven is the destination of souls with great Yin Virtue, typically born in the Immortal Realm as offspring of immortals.”
“The Human Realm is where the souls with average Yin virtue reincarnate as humans.”
“The Animal Realm is for souls who have made mistakes in their previous lives and have scarce Yin Virtue. As a punishment, they don’t reincarnate as humans in the next life but as unintelligent animals.”
“Asura, Hell, Hungry Ghost, these three realms only exist in the Underworld and are unseen in the mortal world.”
Seeing the Human Emperor’s familiarity, Elder Tang Xing forfeited the idea of parading his own knowledge, thus explaining his viewpoint simply and honestly.
“Monster beasts represent the Animal Realm, they have scarce wisdom and rely on instinct most of the time. Compared to humans, they are far inferior.”
“Monster beasts going through the Divinity Transformation Stage and gaining wisdom is essentially the process of moving from the Animal Realm to the Human Realm.”
“In other words, after the monster beasts acquire spirit wisdom, they belong to the Human Realm. The parties of the spirit contract change from Animal Realm and Human Realm to both being in the Human Realm.”
Jiang Li agrees with Elder Tang Xing’s view that gaining spirit wisdom is a watershed; those who develop spirit wisdom fall under the jurisdiction of the Human Emperor, whereas those without it are considered beasts and aren’t the responsibility of the Human Emperor.
“In this way, the success rate of breaking the spirit contract can be increased to ninety-nine percent, perhaps even up to a hundred percent.”
“Even if the spirit contract is not dissolved, humans will truly understand the intentions of the monster beasts once the beasts have spirit wisdom. The circumstance where the contract interprets the beast language forcibly, leading to a mental collapse, will cease to exist.”
Generally, monster beasts have unclear spirit wisdom before the Divinity Transformation Stage, having strength but no wisdom. It’s only after reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage that various mind routes open up, often resulting in an enlightening experience.
However, the monster beasts of the nine-states world are different. The first generation Baize Emperor was an intelligent monster beast. He was distressed seeing the disparity between his own wisdom and the foolishness of other monster beasts.
He diligently developed a method to unlock the wisdom of monster beasts, integrating the method into the bloodline of his descendants. This allowed the monster beasts of the nine-states world to have wisdom from their birth, forming the Baize dynasty based on this.
It’s said that the Underworld listed the first-generation Baize Emperor as the top fugitive, promising extreme torment for him in the afterlife upon his death.
The first-generation Baize Emperor toyed with the Butterfly and Human Realms set by the Underworld skillfully.
But according to Immortal Venerable Chang Cun, the first Baize Emperor became a Heavenly Immortal and was in his prime, living well before the disappearance of the immortal staircase.
The Venerable speculated that the Underworld was helpless for now, as the Underworld could only govern the dead, not the living.
This is a limitation of practicing the Way of Reincarnation.
“Baize Emperor, are you busy?” Jiang Li contacted the Baize Emperor using the Remote Communication Talisman.
The Baize Emperor, White Snow Spirit, was contemplating an issue with a troubled expression.
Wearing a short dress, every move of hers was full of temptation.
Monster beasts have different requirements for clothing compared to humans, needing only to cover essential parts. White Snow Spirit was no different.
“Sect Master Bai, I’m Baize, not an omniscient god. Even if you ask me how to defeat Jiang Li, I cannot provide an answer.”
White Snow Spirit was exasperated. Could Bai Hongtu ask a serious question for once?
Even Bai Hongtu found his question difficult, so he changed it to a simpler one.
“How can we get Jiang Li to fall in love with the Saintess, Pure Heart?”
“…Let’s go back to discussing how to defeat Jiang Li.” White Snow Spirit knew when she was beat.
At this moment, the Remote Communication Talisman in White Snow Spirit’s bosom lit up.
“Baize Emperor, are you busy?”
“Not particularly.” White Snow Spirit was keen to keep her distance from Bai Hongtu. In her opinion, no matter what trouble Jiang Li might have, it wouldn’t be as bothersome as Bai Hongtu.
“I’ve found a new world and encountered some issues. Could you come over?”
“Alright.”
Baize Emperor arrived at the Lingxi World through the temporary channel established by the Brahma Tower.
“This world has so many monster beasts.” White Snow Spirit was excited. As the Emperor of the Monster Beasts, the more beasts, the better.
“Baize Emperor.” Elder Tang Xing saluted White Snow Spirit. Although they were on the same level, Tang Xing was only an elder, whereas White Snow Spirit was an emperor, making their statuses different.
Jiang Li detailed the matters of the Lingxi World and Elder Tang Xing added his comments.
White Snow Spirit had a strange expression. In Lingxi world, the status of monster beasts was extremely high, a truly good place.
“So, you want to awaken the wisdom of the monster beasts.” White Snow Spirit understood. This task wasn’t too difficult for her.
White Snow Spirit listed a long string of medicinal materials and measurements. Jiang Li was taken aback.
“This is the formula for the first-generation enlightenment medicine used by our ancestors.”
“Our ancestors found it bothersome and integrated these formulas into the descendants’ bloodline. In other words, my blood is equivalent to all of these formulas.”
“The Baize Emperors of each generation have used their own blood to awaken the monster beasts.”
“Just a drop of diluted blood can give a clueless monster beast the ability to distinguish right from wrong.”
White Snow Spirit was proud. This was why the Baize dynasty was the Baize dynasty. If the monster beasts wanted to keep their descendants’ wisdom, they could only allow Baize to be the emperor, thus ensuring the integrity of Baize.
White Snow Spirit, before becoming a pure-blooded Baize, wasn’t recognized as the rightful leader by the Eight Great Demon Kings, but the Kings didn’t dare to scale up their efforts because White Snow Spirit’s position was difficult to shake.
Unless the Eight Great Demon Kings could find other methods to awaken wisdom.
“There is a patient here. We could test it on him first.” Jiang Li wanted to first experiment on Professor Feng.
At this time, Professor Feng had just come out of the emergency room and was still mentally clear.
The assimilation disease gradually worsens, and if Professor Feng’s state switches back and forth several more times, he’ll become completely foolish.
White Snow Spirit flicked a drop of blood into the mouth of the parrot.
The three gazed expectantly at the parrot, but nothing happened. The parrot was still the same, repeating a few simple words like a foolish bird.
White Snow Spirit couldn’t keep up appearances, she had been praising her own blood to the skies only for the first experiment to flop.
She studied the parrot carefully, scanning it with her Divine Sense repeatedly. Her expression became more and more serious.
“This parrot has been altered by someone, it has congenital deficiencies, making it difficult to produce spirit wisdom.”
