Demonic beasts were once the masters of this world, but that was already a matter of ancient times.
Among all the great eras, the ancient era was the longest. Its beginning was already untraceable, and even the time was immeasurable. Perhaps only the most ancient Daoist sects still had scattered records, but Daoist sects had never made this information public.
But many people knew the end of the ancient era. The symbol of the end of the ancient era was that humans drove demonic beasts out of the world and became the masters of the modern world.
Then, they experienced the long Antiquity Age, the Middle Age, the Late Age, and the present.
Demonic beasts were almost nowhere to be seen in the modern world.
Jiang Wang had cultivated all the way to the present, from a nameless wandering little Daoist to the current Inner Mansion, Da Qi, and Tianjiao, but this was the first time he truly saw demonic beasts!
Compared to suddenly seeing demonic beasts, even Yin Guan's miraculous method of borrowing the "perspective" was not so surprising.
Could it be that demonic beasts still existed in the modern world?
Could it be that demonic beasts had never disappeared?
The prisoner carriage pushed the single-horned old demonic beasts into the great formation. Looking at the beasts crawling in the formation, the old demonic beasts' fear was very obvious. "What do you want to do, what do you want to do!?"
He didn't speak the language of any country Jiang Wang knew, but the meaning of each word was clear.
It was a Dao language!
It was the same voice as in the Great Illusionary Realm.
The Inner Mansion cultivator guarding the cave frowned. "Why does every demonic beast ask this kind of question? Isn't it clear what we want to do? "
The guard standing beside him smiled and replied, "Demonic beasts aren't stupid without intelligence, but sometimes it might be better to give up thinking. Fear makes him deceive himself. If he pretends not to know, some things might not have happened. "
This guard seemed to be quite knowledgeable.
Even the Inner Mansion cultivator looked at him with some surprise.
He smiled embarrassedly. "The Great General once said something like this when he came for an inspection."
The old demonic beast in the prisoner carriage didn't understand what they were saying, but the laughter of the humans made him even more afraid. He was trapped in the prisoner carriage, caught in a herd of beasts, and these people were talking about him.
"If you want to commit murder, you can go to our general, our king, and our warriors!"
He struggled and shouted, "What kind of ability is it to bully us old and weak women and children!"
The Palace Realm cultivator from Xu Country sneered, "How can there be old, weak, women, and children in the demon race?"
The "communication" between the two parties was destined to be fruitless because they could understand the language of the demon, but the demon did not understand what he was saying.
His fear grew stronger and stronger.
It could be seen that the aged muscles of this Demon Clan old man were stretched taut and stiff.
At this moment, the prisoner carriage had already pushed into the center of the formation.
The two cultivators pushing the cart retreated out of the array at almost the same speed as they fled, all the way until they reached the side of the Inner Mansion Stage cultivator.
"The timing is just right." The Inner Mansion Realm cultivator of the Xu Nation quickly formed hand seals and didn't waste a single second.
The array suddenly lit up!
Countless dark red lines crawled along the ground like a spider web, quickly connecting all the Ferocious Beasts together. All of the dark-red lines ended at the single-horned old man of the Demon Race.
"Ah!!"
The demon immediately let out a blood-curdling scream that shook the entire cave.
His body was shriveling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, Jiang Wang saw a Ferocious Beast suddenly stand up from its prone position. The pure ruthlessness and bloodthirstiness in its eyes had actually dissipated.
What was even more shocking was that something was faintly being nurtured inside this "Ferocious Beast" …
It was a Dao vein!
Jiang Wang quickly recognized that it was a Dao vein that was slowly forming!
In other words, this Ferocious Beast had already become a Demon Beast at this moment!
Everything had an answer.
At this moment, the second half of the questions he had at Alioth Peak were answered.
The process of wild beasts "evolving" into Ferocious Beasts required the wild beasts to kill each other and be catalyzed by the relevant array.
At that time at Alioth Peak, Jiang Wang had already witnessed this process.
The Ferocious Beasts that were catalyzed had to wreak havoc everywhere and even kill humans, further developing their Ferocious Nature.
Only after reaching a certain level would a Ferocious Beast have the qualifications to evolve to the next step.
Just as Miaoyu had guessed, "Ferociousness is a necessary element for a Demon Beast. Killing is a certain process that must be experienced."
The next step was for the Ferocious Beast to "evolve" into a Demon Beast. What this process required was the catalyzed array before them, and more importantly, a living Demon Beast!
With Demon Beasts, there would also be Meridian Unlocking Pills.
The second generation of Demon Beasts that were domesticated would not be able to possess Dao veins. This might be a "self-preservation method" that existed in the origins of the races. Since Demon Beasts that were reared in captivity were meaningless, naturally, no one would keep Demon Beasts in captivity.
However, relying solely on wild Demon Beasts was naturally unable to satisfy the cultivation needs of the human race. No matter how many Demon Beasts there were, they would be wiped out sooner or later!
Therefore, the method that Jiang Wang and Yin Guan saw was developed.
Through the multiple transformations from wild beasts to Ferocious Beasts and then to Demon Beasts, it directly catalyzed Demon Beasts. As long as wild beasts existed, there would be no end to Demon Beasts!
Putting aside good and evil, right and wrong, this method itself was definitely an earth-shattering creation. It could even be said that it laid the foundation for the prosperity of the cultivation world.
Because it popularized the Meridian Unlocking Pill!
Jiang Wang then thought that if ordinary Meridian Unlocking Pills could be obtained this way, then those priceless Earth Essence Great Pills and Heaven Essence Great Pills that could only be found by chance … could they be made by extracting the Dao veins of Demon Beasts, or even powerful Demon Beasts?
But where would they go to capture Demon Beasts in the Modern Realm, where would they go to capture them?
The Forest Ocean Origin World, the Void Continent …
Jiang Wang suddenly thought of these two worlds.
Perhaps there existed a world where Demon Beasts lived. And human cultivators would occasionally descend there to capture Demon Beasts.
Then what about the powers and countries that didn't have the ability to capture Demon Beasts, or were dissatisfied with the number of Demon Beasts they captured?
Jiang Wang then thought of the cultivator who had secretly kidnapped Bei Nu at the banks of Clear River.
He couldn't help but be shocked.
Water Beasts and Demon Beasts … were too similar!
They were both extremely similar to humans, and they also retained some of the characteristics of their respective races.
Jiang Wang felt that he was vaguely approaching the truth of history. He was only a final bit away from the fog that needed to be blown away by the wind of knowledge.
At this moment, the one-horned Demon Beasts in the great formation stopped screaming. He was lying on his stomach in the prison carriage, dying.
In the entire great formation, nearly one-third of the ferocious beasts stood up and transformed into Demon Beasts. Even more ferocious beasts closed their eyes forever and died silently.
"Good harvest." The Inner Mansion Realm cultivator of Xu Country nodded in satisfaction. His gaze swept past the Demon Beasts and landed on the prison carriage. "Take him down for treatment and recuperation. After he recovers, he should be able to hold on for another round."
"What a pity." He lamented to the guards beside him, "They gave us such old and weak Demon Beasts. They won't be able to hold on for more than a few rounds."
One of the guards replied, "Qi and those blood-sucking beasts won't let us take advantage of them. Even if they gave us strong Demon Beasts, they would definitely ask us to offer them more Meridian Unlocking Pills. "
Just like this, the cultivators of Xu Country cursed and swore at Qi. It seemed that they had accumulated resentment for a long time. In the gloomy underground cave, they cursed at him.
Yin Guan deliberately glanced at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang's face was expressionless.
But in his heart, he finally solved a question that had been puzzling him for a long time. Why were there no ferocious beasts in Qi? Why were the ordinary people in Qi able to go out into the wild freely? Why were the ordinary people in Qi able to have "excursions"?
That was because all the dangers were transferred to these small countries.
Qi's Meridian Unlocking Pills came from the tributes of these small countries!
