Chapter 63: Dao is Beauty, It’s about the Aesthetics

Roar~!

“Comprehension of the Dao?”

Wang Hu sounded puzzled.

Di Baijun secretly glanced at the jerk. She couldn’t help but quietly grumble inwardly.

Not only had that jerk already awakened two different special abilities, but both had even leveled up. Rules were probably already starting to take shape in them.

When the divine body he forged attained perfection, he would be able to step into the Fourth Realm, the Ground Limits Realm, anytime he wanted.

As she thought about it, she couldn’t help but become rather sulky.

She must metamorphose her bloodline again after breaking through the Divine Body Realm. The powerful Wind special ability absolutely mustn’t be pulled down to a lower position by that guy.

Secretly rather frustrated, she replied glumly.

Roar~!

“It’s impossible for any living being’s power capacity to keep increasing infinitely. Everyone has a common limit, and that is known as the limit before one attains the Dao.

“Reaching the level of perfection after one forges their divine body—this is a living being’s limit, as well as the limit before one attains the Dao.

“If one wishes to break through that limit, then they would need the power of the Dao. It’s only when one uses the Dao as their core and their cultivation realm that they would be able to become stronger and take control of that power.

“Among the many animal species in the universe, those who have inherited powerful bloodlines already obtained the seeds of Dao. Thus, they need only to grow up, and these seeds will naturally blossom and ripen into fruits, making them strong and powerful. As for those without bloodline legacies, they can only rely on themselves and try to comprehend the Dao.”

Wang Hu more or less understood now. In other words, perfection-level Divine Body Realm was the true limit of any living being among all the animal species in the universe.

This was the limit of an individual living being before they attained the Dao, and this limit alone was already something that the majority of living beings couldn’t achieve.

If one wished to become even stronger, then they would need to comprehend the Dao.

The Dao was a cultivation realm, as well as a vessel—a vessel to store power in.

It was only when one advanced their Dao and enlarged their vessel that they would be able to cultivate further and become stronger.

One must say that the second-generation rich[1] was really everywhere.

Bloodline inheritors were the biggest second-generation rich. They didn’t need to cultivate; they needed only to grow up normally, and the seeds of Dao within their bloodlines would naturally blossom and ripen, thereby allowing them to possess great strength.

On the other hand, those without bloodline legacies were paupers that had to start from scratch.

Out of 10,000 people, how many paupers could go from rags to riches and outdo the second-generation rich?

Even if they did outdo a few average second-generation rich, could they outdo the premium ones? Could they outdo the local richest man’s second-generation rich?

Perhaps it was possible, but existences like that were simply too far and few… so few that they were such distant and out-of-reach existences that they were only heard of in legends and rumors.

As expected, in this world, no matter where one was… in the majority of cases, if one didn’t have it when one was born; then one would never have it even in one’s entire life.

However, when Wang Hu mentally glanced at the number that had reached 7.75 and at Silly Girl next to him, he couldn’t help but chuckle sneakily inwardly. He could probably also be considered a second-generation rich now.

After a moment of private joy, he quickly drove away that misguided way of thinking.

He didn’t awaken any bloodline or inherit any bloodline legacy. He wasn’t a second-generation rich. He was a warrior starting from zero. Everything he had was because of his own hard work.

He tossed aside those useless thoughts and spoke contemplatively.

Roar~!

“Baijun, since the Great Dao body has the best affinity with the Dao, is it always best to use the Great Dao body when you comprehend any kind of Dao?”

Had this been one and a half years ago, Di Baijun would never have paid any attention to Wang Hu if he had asked her questions in succession so normally like what he was doing now.

Right now, even though she was secretly dissing him non-stop and rolling her eyes inwardly, she nevertheless replied haughtily after giving him a disdainful glance.

Roar~!

“Of course not. There are infinite kinds of Dao, as well as infinite living beings in the world. There will always be some living beings’ bodies that are more suitable for some kinds of Dao.

“It’s just like how we tigers have a better affinity with the Wind of Dao than if we were to use the Dao form.”

Wang Hu nodded to express that he had understood. After a moment’s thought, he somewhat curiously and also somewhat worriedly asked a question.

Roar~!

“Baijun, when one transforms into the Dao form and their appearance changes, will there be any issue with regard to their aesthetic preferences?”

He really was very curious about this. He was human in the past so his aesthetic leaned more toward humans. In that case, what about the other animal species?

Wouldn’t they find the Dao form very ugly after they transformed into it?

Di Baijun rolled her eyes at Wang Hu. The way she looked at him was somewhat as if she were looking at an idiot.

Roar~!

“What is the Dao? It is beauty itself. The Dao form is the one and only form that all animal species can jointly accept after they gain intelligence. Only a rare few with screws loose in their heads and the blind are unable to accept it. Did you find the human form unacceptable after you gained intelligence?”

Wang Hu gave her a simple and honest smile and kept quiet. He was overjoyed. This meant that his and Silly Girl’s aesthetic would be the same in the future.

That was enough.

This had answered a huge question that he’d kept buried in his heart during the last few years. Although there were still a lot of things he didn’t understand, he didn’t press any further.

He had already gotten the answers to what he wanted to know the most. One could indeed transform into the Great Dao body—the most simplified Dao form in Silly Girl’s words—upon reaching the Divine Body Realm, and they looked identical to humans on the outside. Neither would there be any differences in their aesthetic preferences.

Haha, that’ll be the true beautiful start of our happy lives together.

Messy, random thoughts formed in his mind. How beautiful must Silly Girl be after she transformed into the Dao form?

The light of anticipation twinkled in his eyes. However, he shook his head shortly after that—he mustn’t think about it. It was still too early. He would know when the time came.

Roar~!

“I’ll go and have the tracking device custom-made first, Baijun.”

After a momentary pause, he walked toward the cell phone.

His hard work over the last one and a half years had indeed shown some effect. Take what had happened just now for example. After using an excuse to set things in motion, he had asked a few questions in succession, and Silly Girl had answered them all.

As for the disdain and reluctance that she’d exhibited during the process, that was all just her outwardly stuck-up personality at work. He didn’t need to pay any attention to it at all.

He didn’t need to say any thank-yous and things like that after he asked her all these questions now either; he could leave right away.

After a relaxed Wang Hu ordered a custom-made tracking device on the cell phone, he started to cultivate.

Meanwhile—

In the dinosaur world, Su Ling was currently warily, very miserably, and sadly searching for prey.

After getting away from that scary demon lord, she could finally think normally now.

Yet no matter how hard she did, all she could see was a doomed path ahead of her.

That vicious tigress was prejudiced against her and was quick to want to kill her.

The scary demon lord even made her work undercover and told her to obey the vicious tigress’s instructions on the surface but secretly obey his instead.

She even had to report everything that the vicious tigress did. Once discovered, she would definitely die a very tragic death. Yet if she disobeyed the order, there would be no ‘once discovered’. Instead, she would die a very tragic death right away.

On top of that, he even made her do so many chores.

As she thought about it, intense aggrieved feelings and regret drowned out everything else, and she burst into tears as she walked.

“Sob!

“Sob! I’m so pitiful. I’m being exploited so badly when I’ve only just gained intelligence. I’m in an even more miserable state than the servants in the human television dramas.

“Why am I so unlucky? Why must I choose that timing to go out? And end up being enslaved by two demons. Sob! Sob!”

Her sobbing became louder and louder, and she cried while she tried hard to look for prey.

If she couldn’t bring any kills back because she took too long, who knew what that vicious tigress would do to her?

Even if the demon lord could guarantee her life, what if that vicious tigress wanted to beat her and made several streaks of blood on her beautiful fur?

The moment she thought of that, grief overwhelmed her, and she started to cry even harder and also started to try even harder to look for prey.

Should I run?

The thought had only just popped up when it disappeared cleanly within an instant.

Should she be discovered and caught, she would be doomed for sure.

Even her beautiful fur might be turned into a cushion.

Sob!

Sobbing sounds followed as she traveled long and far.

After waiting for more than two hours, Wang Hu finally saw Su Ling walk out of the dinosaur world with a dinosaur carcass more than double her size in tow.

Di Baijun, who also saw it, subconsciously snorted.

When Su Ling dragged it closer, the two little fellows immediately became delighted.

Roar~!

“It’s mealtime! Big Treasure is hungry!”

…

Roar~!

“You are to hunt in the morning in the future. Understand?” said Di Baijun coldly.

“Yes,” Su Ling—who had already calmed down—immediately lowered her head and replied obediently.

Roar~!

“Mm, you did pretty well. Keep it up,” Wang Hu—who had also walked over—said dispassionately.

At once, Di Baijun raised an eyebrow. Was there anything that she did pretty well here?

A little unhappy, she cast an icy glance at the fox again.

The glance made Su Ling lower her head even further.

Wang Hu, who saw everything, secretly nodded.?Not bad, he thought.

The intensity of Silly Girl’s jealousy and pettiness didn’t let him down. Even a casual word of praise could trigger a response from her.

Perhaps this might be troubling to others, but what he needed right now was exactly that jealousy and pettiness.

He gave the dinosaur carcass a detailed inspection. After all, even though Su Ling probably didn’t have any poison or things like that on her, one could never be too careful. He should still be a little more cautious.

After inspecting it, Wang Hu got Silly Girl and the cubs to wait while he took a few big bites first. Then, he circulated his Blood Qi. It was only after he waited a few minutes and completely confirmed that he was fine that he allowed Silly Girl and the cubs to eat.

During the process, Di Baijun at the side gave her tacit approval and coldly kept her eyes on Su Ling the whole time, making Su Ling wish she could bury herself in the ground.

The tigress’s gaze simply terrified her too much. It was even stronger than a natural enemy’s gaze.
