Chapter 296 Huh? The White Tiger View Is Really Saintess.
The highest level for humans is called Celestial Being, while the highest level for monsters is called Celestial Beast. Therefore, the equivalent for the highest level of the Demon Race is...
"Heavenly Demon is not the highest realm of the Demon Race. The true highest realm is Great Freedom Heavenly Demon."
Upon hearing Zhang Chi's thoughts, Gu Youyou spoke up to correct him.
It is normal for Zhang Chi, as a human, to be unaware of these matters concerning the Demon Race. In the various Sutra Pavilions of Western State, there are only simple descriptions of the Demon Race, and the specific realms of the Demon Race are not well understood.
Human cultivation has four stages: Qi Condensation Foundation Building is the first stage, Divine Soul Divine Ability is the second stage, Dao Integration Transcending Tribulation is the third stage, and Celestial Being is the fourth stage. There are a total of seven realms within these four stages.
On the other hand, the Demon Race has five stages of cultivation and eight realms. The first stage is cultivating the Demon Body, which corresponds to the human Qi Condensation Foundation Building. The second stage is cultivating the Demon Soul, which corresponds to the human Divine Soul Divine Ability.
The divergence occurs in the third stage. At this point, humans directly begin to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, while the Demon Race needs to refine their Demon Heart.
When the Demon Heart is perfected, it is equivalent to humans entering the Dao Integration Realm.
After humans achieve Dao Integration, they will undergo various calamities and trials, which deepen their understanding of the Heavenly Dao. Without experiencing these three tribulations, it is difficult for humans to become Celestial Beings.
However, the Demon Race does not have a Transcending Tribulation Stage. After comprehending the Demon Heart, they will begin to comprehend both the Heavenly Dao and the Demon Dao, also known as the Demon Dao Realm.
The next step is the integration of body and heart, and heart and Dao, which is the entry into the fourth stage, Heavenly Demon Realm.
This characteristic is similar to the human Dao Integration Realm, but the level is equivalent to the human Celestial Being Realm.
Moreover, in terms of overall strength, before the fourth stage, the human race is at a disadvantage when facing the Demon Race.
However, at the fourth stage, Heavenly Demon is basically no match for Celestial Beings. It can be said that they are completely outclassed.
However, the Demon Race has a fifth stage, while the human race does not.
The "Great Freedom" in Great Freedom Heavenly Demon represents transcendence. At this stage, Great Freedom Heavenly Demon completely surpasses Celestial Beings, as they are no longer on the same level.
After explaining all this to Zhang Chi, Gu Youyou also became excited and felt a surge of enthusiasm.
Her goal has never been to become a Heavenly Demon, but to become a Great Freedom Heavenly Demon.
"When I become a Great Freedom Heavenly Demon, I can counterattack the mortal world and restore the glory of the ancient Demon Race.
What do you think? If you join our Demon Race, there are limits to what humans can achieve, but the Demon Race has none!"
In her excitement, Gu Youyou attempted to recruit Zhang Chi again.
Zhang Chi decisively refused, saying, "You have a beautiful dream, but I think your Demon Race is doomed.
Look at why our human race fights among ourselves? It's because we are already invincible, and if we don't fight among ourselves, there will be no one left to fight.
If there is a real external threat, humans will immediately unite.
But look at your Demon Race. You are about to become a Demon Race Saintess and a Heavenly Demon, yet you can still be secretly plotted against.
Your entire clan has been exiled and is still fighting among yourselves, and no one came to save you. They don't value talent at all. I don't think such a group has a promising future and will probably decline even further in the future.
It's better for you to follow me. With your strength and my wisdom, we will be stronger than you leading a bunch of useless waste in the Demon Race. Those wastes might even hold you back, but I won't. I will always help you fill in the gaps."
There was a moment when Gu Youyou was truly tempted, but she was also a little afraid of being deceived by Zhang Chi.
"Let's talk about this later. If you want me to follow you, your cultivation level must be higher than mine, right?"
Gu Youyou set an impossible condition.
She had a premonition that if she could return to her body, she might be able to turn her misfortune into a blessing. With the insights she gained from Zhang Chi, she might directly become a Heavenly Demon upon returning.
This would make her a top-tier existence even within the Demon Race, as there are currently no Great Freedom Heavenly Demons in the Demon Race.
Even in the mortal world, she would be a dominant presence.
With her strength, Zhang Chi would have to at least be a Celestial Being to be considered stronger than her.
Not to mention whether Zhang Chi could cultivate to this level in his lifetime, just the time he would need to spend is not a small number, not to mention that after reaching the Divine Soul realm, each realm would test his comprehension rather than just relying on hard cultivation.
In short, her agreement was also a kind of polite refusal.
However, Zhang Chi immediately agreed.
"Just wait, one day I will surpass you."
Gu Youyou: "..."
She felt that Zhang Chi didn't say anything good, but she couldn't understand, so she could only pretend that nothing happened, but she silently made a note in her heart.
When she returned to her own body, she would settle these accounts with Zhang Chi.
This was also her way of learning from Zhang Chi, silently keeping track of things in her mind.
Of course, Gu Youyou didn't know that she was the only survivor in Zhang Chi's little notebook, otherwise, she would have to make another note for Zhang Chi.
The two of them did not speak again and began to focus on their own cultivation.
Zhang Chi and Gu Youyou were both practicing the Heart Scroll, and now they had an additional melody.
Miao Yin had already made it clear that only by being proficient in the art can one approach the Dao.
One must first master the basic techniques before discussing the Dao.
In addition to various methods of playing musical instruments, the art also includes the combination of True Qi and sound in battle tactics.
All of these can be considered as part of the art.
Zhang Chi thought it would be cool to learn music and show off in the future. When fighting with others, he could provide his own voiceover, which would definitely be awesome.
With this motivation, Zhang Chi also studied very seriously.
The night passed quickly, and the next day at dawn, Zhang Chi had already packed up and followed Long Yan and Miao Yin to join the rest of the team.
The team consisted of a total of ten people, including two accompanying elders and eight contestants.
In the fifty-year-old age group, one was Zhang Chi, and the other was also someone familiar, Senior Sister Yan Hongyi from the Profound Heart Sect.
She was also only twenty years old and at the Foundation Building Stage.
Originally, she was still at the Qi Condensation stage, but after the calamity at the Profound Heart Sect, she broke through to the Foundation Building stage, so her name was included in the list this time.
In the one hundred-year-old age group, both were at the early stage of the Divine Soul realm. One was Chen Zhu from the Pill Cauldron Sect, and the other was Zhou Fu from the Dragon Transformation Palace.
In the one hundred and fifty-year-old age group, there was another person named Wang Huan from the Celestial Melody Pavilion. His cultivation was slightly lower than Long Yan's, and he was slightly older.
In the two hundred-year-old age group, there were two people. One was at the Divine Ability Realm named Liu Xin, from the Dragon Transformation Palace. He had just recently broken through to the Divine Ability Realm. The other was named Qing Que, from the Celestial Melody Pavilion.
What surprised Zhang Chi was that Elder Jin Bian was the other accompanying elder this time.
As one of the leaders of the Purple Dragon Guard, he actually followed the team.
Obviously, he was here to protect Long Yan.
Among this team, the Dragon Transformation Palace had the strongest power, followed by the Celestial Melody Pavilion. The Profound Heart Sect and the Pill Cauldron Sect only had one spot each, so it was quite difficult for Zhang Chi to get a spot.
Because of Long Yan's special identity, she was eventually appointed as the team leader for communication, and the main affairs were handled by the team leader.
No one present had any objections.
They were no longer hot-blooded youths, and no one felt it was unfair.
Long Yan was the Palace Master of the Dragon Transformation Palace and the daughter of Long Yi. Who else could be the team leader besides her?
The others were just glad to have the opportunity to travel with Long Yan and make friends.
Even Zhang Chi, who stood by Long Yan's side, received many compliments. Long Yan didn't have any airs, so the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
The ten people boarded the flying boat and flew straight towards Mount Jinding. Looking down from high above, as they watched the giant dragon circling on the ground getting farther and farther away, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.
They didn't know when they would return after this trip, or if they would be able to return.
Even if they could return, would they be able to meet again in the future?
Even Cai Yu, perched on Zhang Chi's shoulder, felt a little sad. It had just gotten acquainted with the little sisters in the mountains and now it had to move again.
Getting acquainted, then moving again...
Zhang Chi was truly a nomad.
But Cai Yu was still quite clear-minded. It didn't abandon Zhang Chi for the sake of its sisters. Life was more exciting by Zhang Chi's side.
Moreover, by Zhang Chi's side, it could see a lot of fun every day.
When there was no fun, it could go and tease Bai Su.
Bai Su was a very diligent Spirit Beast. It practiced every day except for eating. In Cai Yu's eyes, this snake was too boring.
What fun was there in just practicing all the time?
Zhang Chi, on the other hand, liked Bai Su's personality, so whenever Bai Su had any needs, he would fulfill them.
This was truly the treatment of a pet.
Hong Li, on the other hand, was also in the Spirit Beast bag, but the love she received was completely different.
Among the group, perhaps only Zhang Chi didn't feel any sadness.
Because he didn't have much attachment to this place, it was just a change of location, nothing major.
Of course, he would still show his melancholy and then comfort Long Yan.
As Long Yan watched the Dragon Head Peak gradually disappear from her sight, her heart became empty once again.
This wasn't the first time she had traveled far, but it was the first time she was so worried about the situation at the Dragon Transformation Palace.
"Don't worry, Father-in-law is powerful, nothing will happen," Zhang Chi said.
"You... you're not married yet, you can't change your words so quickly," Long Yan said shyly, both blaming him for publicly revealing their relationship and feeling happy that he acknowledged their relationship.
She was being coquettish.
Zhang Chi could see her coquettish nature at a glance and continued nonchalantly, "In my heart, you are already my Dao companion, so it's okay to call you that in advance. When we arrive at Jinding, let's find a nice place and have a simple wedding, how about that?"
"Okay..." Long Yan replied softly.
Discussing such matters in front of so many people made her feel shy, after all, she had thin skin.
Miao Yin clenched her back teeth, suppressing her anger and jealousy.
Her back teeth were also suffering.
"Don't think about these things for now. The most important thing for us is to find a place to settle down in Mount Jinding. I don't know if the people from the White Tiger Sect will give us face," Zhang Chi said.
Speaking of this, Long Yan said indifferently, "It's okay, I am friends with the Saintess of the White Tiger Sect. I'll ask her for help when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi was stunned.
Ah, so the White Tiger Sect really has a Saintess? (End of this chapter)
