Wu Yuan gradually regained consciousness after an unknown amount of time.
He lay on his back, eyes staring blankly at the ceiling of the burrow, muttering, "I'm so stupid, truly stupid! I only knew that eating bird eggs could Awaken the Bloodline, and I only thought about the benefits after the Bloodline Awakening, never realizing how painful the process would be!"
"It felt like a million needles pricking my body, and countless knives scraping my bones. It hurt so much I just wanted to roll on the ground."
"Looking back, there's always been some unexpected twist whenever I got information."
"There's always something I don't know. I should be used to these things by now!"
Wu Yuan lay on the ground, wallowing in self-pity for a while, easing his emotions, before beginning to sense the changes in his body.
First, Wu Yuan's body size had doubled. He now stood half a meter tall, and when he lay down, he was as big as a cat!
His brown fur had become lighter, almost yellowish-white.
His body was stronger, and during movement, his muscles could be seen rippling. His claws were longer and sharper, glinting like tiny daggers.
"This is only a Physical Body change, not the greatest gain!"
Wu Yuan closed his eyes and circulated Demon Power. Suddenly, some milky white light spots appeared around him and were absorbed into his body.
He sensed that the ten wisps of Demon Power he originally had in his body had strengthened.
Although the increase was negligible, it was significant because these light spots were Spiritual Qi.
This meant that Wu Yuan had access to a new source of Demon Power, greatly broadening his Cultivation channels!
Then, he opened his eyes, brewed for a moment, and spit out a black thorn.
Dark Spirit Thorns!
The black thorn was completely dark, as if absorbing all the surrounding light, and it flew silently.
It pierced the cave wall, leaving a bottomless hole.
Wu Yuan sensed the remaining five wisps of Demon Power: "This Spell is powerful, but it consumes a lot!"
Although he could only cast it twice now, this couldn't hide his excitement—this was a Spell!
Wu Yuan cried out in excitement, straightened his body, and spread his arms as if embracing the sky.
"I am now a Spirit Monster, not an ordinary rat!"
Wu Yuan endured immense pain and finally succeeded in Awakening his Bloodline, obtaining a Bloodline Legacy, and becoming a Spirit Monster.
Mortal beasts who obtain an Opportunity and Cultivate Demon Power can strengthen their Physical Body and enhance their intelligence.
After strengthening to a certain extent, they have the chance to unearth the Bloodline within themselves and become Spirit Monsters.
Spirit Monsters can continue to unearth their Bloodline to transform into Yao.
Wu Yuan was both lucky and unlucky. Generally speaking, the stronger the Bloodline, the easier it is to Awaken the Bloodline. His immense pain indicated that his Bloodline was very faint.
"My previous suffering was because my own Rat Yao Bloodline was too shallow, with only two very weak Bloodlines, one of which was the Gathering Spirit Rat Bloodline."
"Fortunately, it successfully brought me the innate Spell, Gathering Spirit, and a Bloodline Legacy!"
"The other Bloodline was so faint it was almost nonexistent, only granting the Spell, Dark Spirit Thorns!"
"However, aside from beasts with extraordinary Bloodlines, it's almost unheard of for a mortal beast to Awaken two Spells at once!"
"The unfortunate part is that my Bloodline will definitely limit my development!"
Wu Yuan finally calmed his inner excitement and began to consider his future development.
"Moreover, my lifespan has greatly increased. I now have at least forty to fifty years of life!"
"My current Realm is still only the Qi Refinement Stage Early Stage. Once I Cultivate ninety-nine wisps of Demon Power, I can start to Breakthrough to the Qi Refinement Stage Middle Stage!"
"After breaking through a minor Realm, my lifespan can still increase slightly. Although it's still not comparable to an ordinary Human Race's lifespan, I am very satisfied!"
In ancient times, the Realm of Yao Beasts was divided by Dao practice into Spirit Monster, Minor Yao, and Great Yao, while today it corresponds to the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core stages of Immortal Cultivation.
However, in today's Cultivation world, the Heavenly Dao favors the Human Race. The human form is the Dao form, most suitable for Cultivation, and Yao Beasts are suppressed.
Therefore, the Yao Race powerhouses kept pace with the times, linking the division of Cultivation levels in their Bloodline Legacy to that of the Human Race,
allowing the Yao Race to also Cultivate Immortality and transform into human form, rather than being confined within their Bloodline, seeking to strengthen the Yao Race.
Therefore, Wu Yuan used the term Qi Refinement Stage, which is biased towards Human Race Immortal Cultivation, to describe his Cultivation.
"Moreover, the Fox Immortal Qi Refining Method is a Yao Race Immortal Cultivation Cultivation Technique!"
"It's much stronger than the rudimentary breathing method that came with my Bloodline!"
"Ordinary Cultivation Techniques can only absorb common Spiritual Qi, while Moonlight is a special Spiritual Qi that helps strengthen the Bloodline. Yao Race Cultivation Techniques that can absorb Moonlight are rare!"
Wu Yuan danced with joy and shouted loudly as if he had been hit by a pie falling from the sky: "Fox Immortal, Fox Immortal!"
After all, the Fox Immortal Qi Refining Method greatly alleviated Wu Yuan's problem of a thin Bloodline.
He also had the causality pearl. Wu Yuan was full of hope for his future Cultivation.
"I will definitely Cultivate to Foundation Establishment and transform into human form!"
After venting for a while, Wu Yuan finally calmed down, but there was no longer any confusion in his heart.
His entire spirit and demeanor had changed, becoming more positive!
Wu Yuan crawled out of the burrow where he had stayed for an unknown period, and looking at the bright sunlight, he felt joyful.
The sunlight in front of him was blocked by a shadow, and the shadow grew larger and larger.
Wu Yuan squinted at the approaching Owl, which flew straight at him with a ferocious aura, its claws gleaming with dark red light.
"It seems it wants to kill me so badly it doesn't even care about its own life. It really hates me!"
The Owl was fully squeezing its Physical Body to enhance its Demon Power; doing so meant it wouldn't live much longer.
"Look at those beautiful feathers, now they're all messed up. After losing his wife, he really doesn't know how to take care of himself!"
Wu Yuan was still criticizing the Owl.
The Owl looked at the increasingly close rat, its originally angry eyes gradually becoming excited, as if it saw the murderer dying under its claws.
It saw the rat straighten its body and its abdomen bulge, which made it a little confused, but it quickly dismissed it. Even if the rat had grown bigger, it was sure to die today!
The Owl saw the rat spit out a black light that flew rapidly towards it. Before it could react, everything went black!
Wu Yuan launched a Dark Spirit Thorns, striking the Owl, and watched it fall to the ground, his heart completely unmoved.
"Overestimating yourself!"
"Today's extra meal is bird meat. It's a good chance to see what effect a bird that has Cultivated Demon Power has!"
...
Wu Yuan returned to his long-abandoned home, but his mood was not pleasant.
He stared intently at a lump of something lying on his bed, his claws constantly opening and closing.
As if sensing a hint of killing intent, the small thing on the bed kicked its legs, woke up, and looked around with sleepy eyes.
It took a while for it to realize there was a muscular rat twice its size in front of it, and it immediately widened its eyes, trembling all over.
Wu Yuan looked at the chubby hamster in front of him, thinking of an extra meal tonight. He just happened to need a carpet, and the hamster's creamy yellow fur would be perfect!
As if sensing Wu Yuan's killing intent, the hamster tremblingly spat out a black seed from its mouth, holding it in its paws as if to offer it to Wu Yuan.
When Wu Yuan saw his familiar Moon Spirit Grass seed covered in saliva, his anger grew even stronger.
