46 A New Enemy? A Legendary Qi Practitioner!
Hearing this cold voice, Wang Mang was really shocked. He hurriedly turned his huge snake head to look.
Then, Wang Mang saw the shore of the reservoir in the distance.
A long-haired old man in linen clothes was walking over.
This old man seemed to be dressed plainly and walked over expressionlessly.
It was as if this old man did not take Wang Mang seriously at all.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
He was also someone who was attracted to Wang Mang through the video.
However, he knew that he wanted to find a super python like Wang Mang.
It might even be a python that had already gained sentience. There was definitely more to it than meets the eye.
Therefore, after hiding for two days, he finally found Wang Mang tonight.
As for why he was looking for Wang Mang?
It was very simple! He had come for Wang Mang!
He knew that once a spiritual creature gained sentience, its body would gradually condense into a round Qi bead.
This was a very rare treasure for cultivators like him who cultivated in seclusion!
This was because since the early Qin era, or even earlier, the laws of heaven and earth no longer provided enough spiritual qi.
Therefore, those cultivators who relied on comprehending the laws of heaven and earth to refine qi into Divine Transformation were pitifully few.
Back in the Qin Dynasty, these cultivators had a name: Early-Qin Qi Practitioners!
It could be said that during the Qin Dynasty, they were already very rare, almost impossible to find.
Therefore, these cultivators were almost extinct during the Qin Dynasty, let alone now.
There were cultivators on Earth today, but they were definitely rarer than protected animals.
Why? Because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was gone. How could they cultivate anything?
Why were cultivators called Qi Practitioners in the Qin Dynasty?
It was because during the Qin Dynasty, the strongest of these cultivators could only reach the Qi Refining Realm!
However, the Qi Refining Realm was the first threshold for cultivators. There was still a long way to go before they could achieve immortality.
However, it just so happened that by the Qin Dynasty, the earth’s thin spiritual energy no longer allowed anyone to proceed further than that.
Therefore, the decline of Daoism was inevitable.
During the Qin Dynasty, there might have been ancient cultivators with powers above Qi Refinement.
However, after the Qin Dynasty, each generation became weaker and weaker.
Currently, in the 21st century, there were still some cultivators on Earth.
However, these cultivators were all at the Qi Refining Realm!
Surpassing the Qi Refining Realm was impossible!
On the contrary, it became even worse later on!
The strength of these cultivators was inferior to demons and ghosts.
This was because the demons and ghosts were also very dependent on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, they were in a better situation than these cultivators.
The heaven and earth were filled with impurities. As a result, the Dao dissipated and the demons rose to power!
Coupled with the overall conditions, and current cultivators were indeed in a worse situation than demons.
For example, a tortoise would be able to gain sentience after a hundred years!
But what about after five hundred years?
Or eight hundred years?
In the eyes of modern people, he would be a demon! A monster!
In fact, that was the case!
Therefore, when animals cultivated, they were in a much better situation as cultivators!
The reason was even though a person possessed boundless potential, their lifespan was limited.
However, animals were much better off than humans.
Especially for some long-lived animals, it was easier for them to cultivate into demons than cultivators!
Therefore, these cultivators, including the old man, had their eyes fixed on these sentient monsters!
Nevertheless, as far as Li Tianxing could tell, the super python in front of him was not a demon. At most, it was sentient.
It had probably entered the Qi Refining stage too, but it was not that strong.
This was also the reason why Li Tianxing dared to pick a fight for Wang Mang!
If he ate this spiritual python, its flesh and blood would be beneficial to his cultivation.
This was because all sentient animals had vigorous vitality and the spiritual energy contained in their flesh was not low.
In short, spiritual animals were rare treasures like ginsengs that were hundreds of years old.
The spiritual energy contained in these things could be said to be something that could only be chanced upon by luck for cultivators in a miserable situation like them.
“With this python’s flesh and Qi Pearl, my strength will definitely reach the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm!”
While Li Tianxing was secretly excited, his eagle-like eyes stared greedily at Wang Mang.
Clearly, in his eyes, Wang Mang was already a rare treasure that could increase his strength!
At the same time, Wang Mang noticed that this old man before him probably did not come with good intentions!
More importantly, Wang Mang felt a great sense of threat from this old man.
This made Wang Mang feel somewhat incredulous.
Could this ordinary old man even threaten him?
Just as Wang Mang felt puzzled, the system’s voice sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Discovered cultivator. The host can obtain 50,000 evolution points after devouring the target!]
After hearing the system’s voice, Wang Mang was stunned, and his heart was in turmoil.
F*ck! There were even cultivators now?
‘Did I hear that correctly?’
Was Earth really that dangerous?
Thinking of this, Wang Mang became a little cautious.
At the same time, Wang Mang inadvertently arched his four to five-meter-tall snake head.
His snake eyes stared coldly at the ordinary-looking old man in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Li Tianxing smiled disdainfully and said, “Hah! You’re just an evil creature that has just gained sentience!
“Back then, even the Yingkou Falling Dragon, a serpent that was about to transform into a flood dragon, died at the hands of us cultivators!
“Do you think an evil creature like you can still stir up any trouble?
“You evil creatures should just obediently become my food!”
After hearing the old man’s words, Wang Mang was stunned again.
At the same time, many doubts surfaced in Wang Mang’s heart.
Didn’t they say that the Yingkou Fallen Dragon was just a rumor?
But from the old man’s tone, it seemed like that it had actually happened!
Could it be true that the 1934 incident in Liaoning was real?
At this moment, Li Tianxing’s expression was very calm. Clearly, he was not worried that Wang Mang would escape.
He placed his hands behind his back and looked nostalgic.
“Back then, I was only in my twenties and was already a genius at level three of the Qi Cultivation Realm.
“Under the lead of my master and a group of seniors, we eliminated that giant serpent together!
“That python was much larger than you! It was even about to transform into a flood dragon. Unfortunately, my seniors would never have let that evil creature transform into a flood dragon!”
At this point, Li Tianxing gradually came back to his senses and shook his head. “Forget it, forget it. Why do I have to say so much to you?
“Just stay still and be my food! Only by eating you can I advance further!”
At this point, Wang Mang saw a sinister smile appear on the old man’s face.
Obviously, he had already taken Wang Mang for his own food!
The old man did not take Wang Mang seriously at all.
In Li Tianxing’s eyes, Wang Mang was already a fish on his chopping board.
Moreover, there was no room for resistance. He could only be slaughtered!
