My Master Knows It All

”Evolution enables species to adapt to the ever-changing environment, thereby enhancing their ability to survive and reproduce.”

Cao Zhen said, noticing that the Beasts before him did not seem to understand very well. He thought for a moment and continued, ”For example, your ancestors were actually evolving constantly too. The powers they passed on to their descendants were also evolving, to help you better adapt to the new era.

If one does not evolve, sooner or later, one will be eliminated.

Your powers actually suit the new era more. All things in the world are constantly evolving, constantly adapting.

Why do you always have to pursue the past instead of trying to adapt more to this era?

Like fish.

If there is enough seawater, they have no danger, but what if the seawater decreases? Then what?

They can only go to land, and if they don’t adapt, they will die.

The same principle applies to cultivators, not just your Beast Clan; all clans are the same.

For example, our Human Clan used to have the strongest Immortal Cultivation talent, the Ancient Immortal Body, but later, the Ancient Immortal Body was affected by the Heavenly Dao, nearly impossible to break through.

Thus, through generations, the Human Clan tried to avoid the Ancient Immortal Body. If all the Humans wanted to pursue their ancestors and become Ancient Immortal Bodies, how many cultivators could still be born in the Human Clan? Could there still be cultivators with a higher cultivation base?

So, your development direction is wrong. You cannot blindly pursue origins, pursue the power of your ancestors. Instead, you should evolve and constantly adapt to the new era...”

Cao Zhen combined his understanding, imparting what he believed to be evolution theories to the Beasts. He did not know how much the Beasts understood, but among so many Beasts, surely there were some who understood and agreed with him.

He had done everything he could, and now it depended on the Beast Clan’s comprehension and choices for how many could break through to achieve the Golden Immortal rank.

Now, he had visited all three clans and thought he could take a rest.

However, before he could leave the territory of the Beast Clan, two Soldier Bugs, though like dragonflies, yet the size of eagles, flew to him.

”What? You Insect Clan invite me to come and enlighten you?”

Upon hearing the message conveyed by the two Soldier Bugs, Cao Zhen felt troubled. He could enlighten the Demon Clan, the Prison Clan, and even the Beast Clan, but the Insect Clan, how could he guide them?

The Insect Clan is the most peculiar among all clans. His guidance would surely not work on Soldier Bugs; he could only direct his guidance to the Mother Insect.

But, he couldn’t lay eggs, so how could he guide them?

Despite his inner complaints, he could not refuse to go, as the Insect Clan was now an ally of the Human Clan, and he had found partners in the Demon, Beast, and Prison Clans, but not in the Insect Clan.

This time, having guided the Demon, Beast, and Prison Clans, if he left out the Insect Clan, it would clearly seem like they were excluding the Insect Clan, and the Insect Clan might indeed reconsider their alliance.

Cao Zhen had no choice but to follow the two Soldier Bugs into the area controlled by the Insect Clan.

Actually, the area controlled by the Beast Clan was already more chaotic and the environment worse than that controlled by the Demon Clan,

but compared to the area controlled by the Insect Clan, the Beast territory could almost be considered an Immortal Realm.

Barren.

Stepping into the Insect-controlled area, one sees a stretch of wasteland at a glance.

The Insect Clan is known for turning areas into ruins wherever they pass.

They not only devour plants; they eat nearly everything along their path.

Along the way, Cao Zhen could see rivers dried up, and the land cracked from lacking vegetation!

In this region, there wasn’t a single city in sight.

Even mountains were fewer here than in other areas. The few mountains that did exist were bare, almost devoid of any green.

Since entering the Insect territory, Cao Zhen’s face turned grim, for this was not the Great Thousand World of the Insect Clan but that of the Human Clan!

The Insect Clan was destroying the Human Clan’s world.

Without a city, Cao Zhen was finally led to a canyon.

This canyon was as barren as everywhere else, and in the middle of the desolate land stood a mysterious and eerie altar.

The entire altar was constructed of ancient black stone, with a mirror-smooth surface that reflected the surrounding scenery.

A thick mist enveloped the altar, like it came from the abyss of hell, integrating into every corner of it, shrouding it in a mysterious curtain.

Behind the altar stood a towering stone pillar, seemingly a passageway connected to the sky. The stone pillar was covered with ancient inscriptions and strange patterns.

Faintly, these patterns seemed to be moving, as if trying to detach from the stele.

At the base of the altar, a faint light shot out.

And on the altar lay a gigantic Mother Insect.

It was nearly ten zhang long, with a robust and strong body, like a creature nurtured deep underground. Unlike the other Mother Insects he had seen, this one was covered in a hard shell all over its body.

In the sunlight, one could see sharp barbs on the shell.

The Mother Insect’s segmented body was obvious, each part muscular and full of strength and vitality. Its eyes were as red as blood, filled with ferocity and cunning. Under the eerie light, the gaze of this Mother Insect was even more evil, chilling one’s heart.

Cao Zhen knew that Insect Clan’s Mother Insects dared not easily expose themselves; previously, whenever the clans held suspicion, the Mother Insects never appeared, sending only the Soldier Bugs.

But now, this Mother Insect made no attempt to hide, laying openly on the altar.

Perhaps this Mother Insect was responsible for the entire Human Great Thousand World, strong enough not to worry about other Mother Insects conspiring against her.

Seeing Cao Zhen fly down, it lifted itself and asked in a deep voice, ”Sect Leader Cao, we have quite a few half-step Golden Immortal Mother Insects. Do you have a way to let them quickly breakthrough or gain enlightenment, or find a path to the future?”

Cao Zhen truthfully said, ”I’m afraid I cannot help you, for the path you’re on is one I’ve never seen before.

However, I can offer you some advice.”
