Chapter 253: The First Origin Story

"Demon animals?" Xu Zeng’s face crumpled up as he pulled away and looked down at his older brother in disdain, "We are immortal beasts, don’t use such vulgar human language."

Xu Feng stared up, open mouthed at this bigger, younger brother.

Why? Because he also felt like he’d used vulgar language. If he had a bar of soap he might have washed his own mouth out with it...

Xu Feng found himself enveloped in a whirlwind of thoughts and revelations as he stood there, still trying to come to terms with the amazing truth of his existence.

The words "demon animals" and "immortal beasts" echoed in his mind, each term carrying with it a sense of otherworldly weight.

His gaze remained fixed on the work ahead of him, still he could envision Xu Zeng, whose demeanor was a mixture of emotions—disdain, fondness, and a hint of sadness after he called them demon animals...

"The passage between worlds is near impossible to cross without a strong cultivation level. But even as an egg, my brother survived."

Xu Feng had survived the crossing of worlds through the void. Not through an established passage or magical portal, but as an egg—an egg that was in the middle of hatching.

There were two precious eggs, coveted by many in their cultivation world, not just in the backwoods Dongzhou continent, but across the entire Zhoujin cultivation world.

Zhoujin was a lower leveled cultivation world.

Xu Zeng had limited information about the world outside, as their "dad" had been rather secretive about it, or perhaps he simply didn’t possess the knowledge to share. All he knew was that the two eggs held a significance that surpassed any other treasure in their world.

Many believed that consuming the contents of these two immortal beast eggs would bestow upon them power far beyond the Celestial level (8/12), which was the highest known level in their realm of cultivation.

Even the most powerful bloodlines of immortal beasts regarded these eggs as an unparalleled treasure. In a cultivation world where no Celestial (8) level immortal beast had ever been recorded, the allure of these eggs was irresistible, drawing the attention of countless beings vying for their possession.

Xu Feng’s mind swirled with questions and astonishment. The pieces of the puzzle were slowly falling into place, revealing a story that was both extraordinary and mysterious.

It was a world of boundless ambition, where individuals dedicated their entire lives to ascending the ranks of cultivation, with the ultimate goal of achieving the coveted and elusive Celestial (8) level.

The concept of power levels, from the Building (1st) level to the elusive Celestial (8th) level, was a defining aspect of their world. Star level (7th) was the highest pinnacle attainable by most, and those who reached this level had already committed a lifetime of relentless effort.

However, the passage of time was unforgiving, and they needed to break into the Celestial level (8th level) to extend their lives beyond the 2500 year threshold (3000 years for immortal beasts) that marked the limits of their existence.

The two precious eggs, the focus of so much desire and intrigue, were not confined to Dongzhou alone but held the lust of the entire Zhoujin cultivation world. Even in higher ranking realms, the appeal of these eggs would remain undiminished, drawing the attention of both human cultivators and immortal beasts alike.

Human cultivators saw in these eggs the potential to form a life and death bond with a powerful immortal beast that was too young to struggle, a bond that would elevate their own strength and potential.

It was a path to power that many would tread without hesitation, driven by their unquenchable thirst for dominance.

The mystery of how these eggs had found their way into the lower cultivation world of Zhoujin was a puzzle that eluded easy explanation. According to Xu Zeng’s "dad", the eggs had been discovered by the two most powerful immortal beasts of Zhoujin when a doorway to a secret realm had unexpectedly opened.

The fact that only the highest level immortal beasts could access this realm ensured that whatever they found within would be of exceptional value.

This secret realm, theoretically reserved for Celestial (8) level practitioners and above, had unexpectedly allowed the two immortal beasts, who were at the peak of the Star (7) level, to enter—there were many immortal artifacts sacrificed to allow the two beasts to break the restriction and enter.

Inside that secret realm lay a wealth of treasures, from immortal plants to intimidating beasts, weapons, potions, talismans, runes, and other resources capable of extending their lives and enhancing their potential.

Yet, the task of just surviving within the secret realm had left the two immortal beasts half dead, after 6 months in the other world.

The first immortal beast, a distant "descendant" of the phoenix clan—that was his claim to fame, but it is unlikely he even had a drop of phoenix blood—had succumbed to his injuries immediately upon exiting the secret realm, and passed out.

Meanwhile, the other peak Star level beast, a woman claiming to be a distant descendant of an ancient Qilin bloodline—this was also questionable—had seized the opportunity to steal the unconscious beast’s storage artifact.

The battle between the immortal beasts raged on. Although the woman was undoubtedly the strongest among them, her 6 month ordeal in the secret realm had left her severely weakened.

She could barely maintain her stance, let alone become the turning point for her people. Despite her determination, she knew she couldn’t win the fight.

In an act of desperation, she made a cruel decision. If she couldn’t lay claim to the treasure herself, she would ensure that everyone knew the true worth of the eggs the man had taken.

With her failing strength, she became the messenger of a conflict that would span centuries and nearly decimate the immortal beast population of their world.

However, in the middle of the chaos and bloodshed, there were those who questioned the morality of their actions. How could they eat the flesh of their kindred? Some of them were demon beasts who cultivated human forms...

Could they really eat immortal beasts of a higher bloodline than them with no consequences?
