Not to mention other species, there were hundreds of species of monkeys on Earth. Why were the other monkeys unable to evolve into 'humans', but only one group of monkeys managed to do so? Moreover, one of the monkey races did not have any obvious achievements in the evolution process of millions of years ago. There was no civilization. It was not until tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years ago that they suddenly 'advanced by leaps and bounds' and evolved into 'humans'. Could this be explained by the so-called 'explosion of luck'?
The reason why humans were humans was that there was a significant difference between humans and other creatures:
Spirituality!
This sounded inconceivable, but it was the truth. The reason why humans were 'humans' was that they had spirituality. This spirituality was also very easy to explain. Spirituality was not just wisdom, but a view of the world and the universe. The simplest difference was that humans would think about the meaning of life. Humans would revere death, pursue longevity, and look ahead. However, other species obviously did not have such abilities.
Apart from humans, other species would only think about survival and reproduction.
In other words, humans had 'spirituality' that other species did not have, and spirituality was very important. There was no doubt about this. This was indeed the essence that distinguished humans from other species.
Although some scholars once thought that the difference between humans and animals was that humans could use tools, they gradually discovered that other animals could also use tools. For example, chimpanzees and some monkeys knew how to use stones, but they had not evolved into 'humans'. There were also some birds that knew how to use tools and even used bread crumbs to 'fish'. Crows also knew how to use bait to catch insects, but these birds were also limited to their own species, so they would always be below humans in the food chain.
Spirituality! Spirituality! Spirituality!
This was the essence that distinguished humans from other species. But similarly, if a person did not have spirituality, he would not be a real 'human'. Similarly, if there were other species that also possessed "spirituality", then they would no longer be animals. This was why some animals could also cultivate into a human form and become immortals.
Appearance was just an appearance. Spirituality was the key. This was the truth.
In this way, it could naturally explain why there were some spiritual animals in the legends of the Ancient Kunlun Mountains. They were called 'spiritual beasts'. Not only did they have intelligence, but they could also transform into humans and even had powerful spells.
Now, Qin Lang entered this world called Ancient Kunlun as a baby. This world was, of course, a world on the sixth level of the universe. However, this world gave Qin Lang a slightly familiar feeling, especially when it corresponded to the world of Ancient Kunlun.
This was Purple Bamboo Village, but it was just a very ordinary village in the Ancient Kunlun World. However, the special thing about Purple Bamboo Village was that the village was backed by a mountain, and the mountain was filled with purple bamboo forests. Furthermore, the spiritual energy here was very dense!
This was an ordinary village, but the Spirit Qi concentration here was at least comparable to the immortal mountains and blessed lands in the Lower Plane Universe. Furthermore, the average lifespan of the ordinary people here was actually over 400 years old. Everyone was simply an "old man". However, even so, the people in the village always sighed that life was too short. They all thought that the lifespan of humans was too short, even shorter than the lifespan of many animals.
From Qin Lang's point of view, it was normal for the average lifespan of the people in Purple Bamboo Village to reach more than 400 years. This was because the spiritual energy here could allow people to live a long life. Furthermore, this was because these people did not cultivate. If these people cultivated, then not only would they be more than 400 years old, they would definitely be able to live for more than 4,000 years.
However, if the people of Purple Bamboo Village wanted to cultivate, it would not be that easy. Although the spiritual energy here was abundant, the problem was that the composition of the people here was more complicated than that of the people in the lower plane universe. The structure of the people here was more complicated and grander than that of the cultivators in the lower plane universe. Thus, if the people here wanted to cultivate, they would naturally consume hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times more spiritual energy than the cultivators in the lower plane universe. Moreover, as their cultivation realm increased, their consumption of spiritual energy would also increase exponentially. Therefore, cultivation was still not easy for the people here, and it was even more difficult for them to achieve success in cultivation.
During the five years in Purple Bamboo Village, Qin Lang did not cultivate at all. He did not even absorb any spiritual energy. This was because Qin Lang did not want to attract any attention. He knew that when he first entered this universe, he had attracted the attention of the powerful will in this universe. As a result, Qin Lang had no choice but to cripple his own cultivation to successfully enter this universe. After that, when he entered the Ancient Kunlun World again, he was "noticed" by the powerful will of this world. Therefore, Qin Lang could only keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid any mistakes. For this reason, it did not matter even if he was an idiot for five years. It was fine even if he did not cultivate for five years. Moreover, in the past five years, Qin Lang had not completely gained nothing. Because he did not cultivate or absorb spiritual energy, his body had become more accustomed to this world, and his life unit seemed to have become more agile.
However, for Qin Lang, it was time for him to move. After five years of silence, there were no powerful wills paying attention to him. At this time, Qin Lang could start acting according to his plan.
If one wanted to truly understand a world and a universe, the best way was naturally to integrate into this world and this universe. However, if one only adapted to the power of the laws of this universe and this world, this was not true understanding. True understanding was to become a member of this world and this universe. One had to look at this world and this universe from the perspective of the living beings in this world.
Furthermore, Qin Lang knew that there was a sentient and extremely ferocious green python in the Purple Bamboo Forest. Today was the day it would transcend its tribulation. If Qin Lang did not remind the people of this village, it was very likely that the entire village would suffer a calamity.
