297: The origin of strange creatures!

"Could it be that such people haven't appeared in your Tai Xuan Immortal Realm?"

At this moment, Li Changfeng also looked at you with surprise.

You calmly explained,

"I don't know what kind of traitors you're talking about. I ascended from the Lower Realm to the Tai Xuan Immortal Realm, and after entering the Tai Xuan Immortal Realm, I've always remained in the Great Dream Immortal Sect to Cultivate."

You told Li Changfeng that in the Great Dream Immortal Sect, all you did was Cultivate, and the purpose of Cultivating was to fight Eerie Creature and reclaim the entire Tai Xuan Immortal Realm.

"Is that so...?"

Li Changfeng frowned tightly after hearing this.

"It seems your Tai Xuan Immortal Realm doesn't want you to know the truth, fearing that you might defect if you did."

This was the only reason Li Changfeng could think of.

"The truth?"

"What truth?"

You asked Li Changfeng what the truth was.

You knew in your heart that this time you would be able to learn some truths about Eerie Creature.

Li Changfeng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to tell you the truth of the matter.

Li Changfeng told you that nearly half of the Eerie Creature were transformed from fallen Human Race members.

Li Changfeng told you that during the long-term struggle against Eerie Creature, a large portion of people in the Vast Immortal Domain chose to fall to the Eerie Clan.

"Transformed from fallen Human Race?"

You had truly never considered that Eerie Creature originated from fallen Human Race members.

"Then where did the remaining Eerie Creature come from?"

You asked Li Changfeng, besides those formed from fallen Human Race, where did the other Eerie Creature originate.

Li Changfeng paused.

"A large portion of the rest are fallen Myriad Races, and a small remaining portion are the Origin of Eerie Creature, but no one knows where they came from."

Li Changfeng continued from where he left off.

Li Changfeng told you that for some unknown reason, the Immortal Spirit Sea transformed overnight from a misty Immortal Spirit Sea to the current Black Sea.

Li Changfeng told you that since the appearance of the Black Sea, the number of Eerie Creature in the Vast Immortal Domain increased dramatically. Since then, a saying has circulated in the Vast Immortal Domain that the Black Sea can cause people to fall and become Eerie Creature.

After hearing Li Changfeng's words, you recalled the desolate appearance of the Black Sea in your mind.

Su Ming's expression turned a bit startled as he read this.

He truly hadn't considered that most Eerie Creature were formed from fallen Human Race members.

At this moment, Su Ming suddenly remembered the scene he had just witnessed in the simulation.

During the simulation, when he encountered an attack from an anomalous creature, the anomalous creature said something thought-provoking.

"Backward Cultivation Dao..."

Su Ming still remembered that sentence vividly.

At the time, Su Ming didn't understand the meaning of that sentence, but now, after hearing Li Changfeng's explanation, he finally understood.

In the eyes of the Eerie Creature, falling into weirdness was the strongest Cultivation Dao, while their current Immortal Cultivation was merely a backward Cultivation Dao.

Seeing this, Su Ming's gaze continued to look at the simulator.

"By the way, Immortal King Li, why did the anomalous creature say our Cultivation Dao was a backward Dao when I encountered it earlier?"

Li Changfeng clearly didn't expect you to ask that.

After a moment of silence, Li Changfeng opened his mouth to explain.

"In the eyes of Eerie Creature, their Weird Dao is the most correct Cultivation Dao. They abandon their past selves, falling from the Human Race to become weird."

"The Cultivation of Eerie Creature doesn't require Immortal Qi; they only need to continuously feed to Breakthrough, and there's no such thing as a Bottleneck. As long as they eat enough, they can Breakthrough, but..."

"But what?"

Hearing this, you couldn't help but want Li Changfeng to continue.

Li Changfeng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately told you the truth.

"However, at the end of this Dao, some unknown and terrifying change seems to occur."

Li Changfeng told you that the Eerie Creature you saw before could still maintain a human form, but once their Cultivation became high, they would be unable to maintain a human form and could only live like monsters.

Li Changfeng told you that there was no specific distinction for this so-called high Realm; it mainly depended on each person's talent.

Li Changfeng told you that highly talented individuals might only experience strange changes when they reach the Immortal Sovereign Realm, and some exceptionally gifted individuals could even maintain their human form until the Immortal Emperor Realm before undergoing strange changes.

Li Changfeng told you that while there were Prodigies, there were also people with mediocre talent. After these people fell and became Eerie Creature, they directly transformed into monsters, and some even lost their minds completely, becoming monsters that only knew how to eat.

"So Eerie Creature also have such distinctions."

After hearing Li Changfeng's words, many images flooded your mind.

You recalled the anomalous creature you encountered in the Qingxuan World; it was the only Immortal Lord Realm anomalous creature in the Qingxuan World, and he could maintain the appearance of an Evil Charismatic Man.

Immediately after, you thought of the scenes from the Tai Xuan Immortal Realm.

You remembered seeing the Thousand-Eyed Emperor in the Weird Sect; the Thousand-Eyed Emperor's strange body gave you goosebumps even in recollection.

At this moment, Zhang Jun suddenly spoke.

"Young friend, you must not embark on this path of falling. The end of this path inevitably leads to becoming a monster."

"At that time, you will no longer be you; you will be controlled by weird emotions. Even a peerless Prodigy cannot escape such an end."

Hearing Zhang Jun's persuasion, you nodded.

"Don't worry, I won't fall. I don't want to become that kind of neither-human-nor-ghost monster."

Afterward, you asked Li Changfeng how many people were in their Secret Realm and about the situation of other Human Race forces in the Vast Immortal Domain.

Li Changfeng shook his head.

"I only know the situation here; I know nothing about other external situations."

Li Changfeng told you that ever since most people in the Vast Immortal Domain began to fall, the Human Race forces completely lost the opportunity to resist. They could only hide individually to avoid being found by Eerie Creature.

Li Changfeng told you that they had also thought of leaving the Vast Immortal Domain, but the Realm Array was taken, leaving them with no way out. They could only hide and hope that one day the Immortal Emperor would return.

Hearing these words, you could feel Li Changfeng's despair.

Clearly, the Vast Immortal Domain was now like a cage, completely devoid of hope and future.

"Holy crap!"

Su Ming couldn't help but curse when he saw this.

He had finally managed to leave the Canglan Realm and come to the Vast Immortal Domain, but after seeing the content in the simulator, he discovered that the Vast Immortal Domain was actually a dead end...
