At this stage of cultivation, purity of origin and foundation are often emphasized. The White Tiger clan's core lies in the laws of slaughter and the innate Gengjin origin. Infusing it with anything like the Li Fire origin or Ren Water origin would not only be unhelpful but also disorient them, even leading to origin conflicts and severing their future cultivation path.
While the power of creation is beneficial, especially for healing injuries, if used to repair a cultivator's origin and foundation, it would inevitably imbue the origin with the aura of creation.
Many divine beast races now pursue a path of bloodline reversion, striving to cultivate closer to their ancestors. The purer their origin and foundation, the closer they are to their progenitor. Unnecessarily acquiring other auras is undoubtedly troublesome.
The path of a pure origin is also arduous and painful.
The White Tiger ancestor, who already had two pure-blooded offspring and intended to develop them into mixed-blooded descendants, having to spend countless eons to purify their bloodlines again, was undoubtedly delighted to hear these words from the Daoist of Creation. He then gratefully began searching his inventory.
He took out several mid-grade innate spiritual treasures from his hoard and presented them to the Daoist of Creation, expressing his gratitude.
"No rush. Tell me first, how did your two offspring suffer such severe injuries? I sense a very primal and pure aura of devouring from them. Didn't the Devouring Divine Demon already perish? My inherited memories are quite clear that the Devouring Divine Demon was eradicated by the Yin-Yang Divine Demon long ago. Utterly annihilated, impossible to revive. I also haven't heard of a new Devouring Daoist being born. Wait, could it be that you encountered one?"
The Daoist of Creation casually accepted the items, placed them aside, and continued to inquire with curiosity about what interested him. It was the first time he had encountered a discrepancy between reality and his inherited memories, hence his curiosity.
The White Tiger ancestor, being a later existence, was unfamiliar with ancient matters. Upon hearing the Daoist of Creation, he briefly described his previous encounter and inquired about the Devouring Divine Demon.
"That shouldn't be. Based on your description, the giant beast you encountered was clearly an innate ferocious beast. However, according to my inherited memories, innate ferocious beasts are incompatible with laws. How could a mere innate ferocious beast, lacking any intelligence, possess the law of devouring? Did it consume the remains of the Devouring Divine Demon? That shouldn't be either. The physical body of the Devouring Divine Demon was completely annihilated by the Yin-Yang Divine Demon, and its true spirit was taken by the Yin-Yang Divine Demon to refine into an innate spiritual treasure. It's too strange, utterly strange."
Because so many aspects of this matter did not align with his inherited memories, the Daoist of Creation, who firmly believed his memories were accurate, was greatly troubled.
"No, do you know where that giant beast is now? I want to go and see. I need to clarify whether my inherited memory is mistaken or if something else is going on. I'm agonizing over this. I simply cannot calm down."
"Then my two offspring..." The White Tiger ancestor was obviously more concerned about his two children. After all, for now, Taotie shouldn't be dead, nor would it have gone too far. But if these two children were not watched by the Daoist of Creation, there was no telling what might happen.
"Oh, it's fine. Later, I'll condense more Three Lights Divine Water and have them soak in it. They'll recover on their own soon enough. If you're still worried, I'll leave the Creation Green Lotus here to protect them. That should be sufficient. Tell me, where is that ferocious beast? Is it still in your ancestral land..."
The Daoist of Creation was confident in his own strength and did not fear the White Tiger ancestor harboring any greedy intentions. Furthermore, he was eager to meet that strange ferocious beast. Thus, he immediately took out his companion treasure, the Creation Green Lotus, and placed it beneath the two small white tigers. At the same time, he manipulated seals again, condensing several times the amount of Three Lights Divine Water to completely envelop the two small white tigers.
Meanwhile, based on the White Tiger ancestor's prior description, he speculated about the giant beast's location.
"Uh... Thank you. When I arrived, that giant beast was indeed rampaging in our ancestral land, but I don't know if it has left now. If you rush over immediately, you can at least catch its scent."
With such assistance provided, the White Tiger ancestor felt obliged to comply. He could only thank him again and speak the truth.
"Understood. I'll be back soon!"
With his focus entirely on the strange giant beast, the Daoist of Creation did not waste any words. He acknowledged, then vanished into a beam of light, shattering space and heading directly for the Western Extremity.
The Eternal World is vast. Traveling at light speed for hundreds of millions of years might not reach the destination. Without the ability to traverse space freely, life would be unbearable.
Soon, the Daoist of Creation arrived at the Western Extremity and saw the White Tiger ancestral land, which was utterly devastated. He could also clearly sense the dense aura of ferocious beasts lingering in the area. The next step was naturally to track them based on this aura.
And to the east of the Western Extremity, over six thousand light-years away, he caught up to the Taotie, which was still eating.
It was actually quite easy to track. One could even track it without the aura of a ferocious beast, because this Taotie devoured everything it encountered. Wherever it went, not a blade of grass, not a spiritual脉, nor spiritual earth remained; only barren, abyssal traces were left behind. Following these traces would lead one forward.
Reaching the end of this path would naturally lead to the Taotie.
Upon meeting, the Daoist of Creation did not attack the Taotie. Instead, he stood frozen in place. This was because he sensed an aura of creation origin within the Taotie, the same origin as his own. Although it was not much, it was undeniably present.
In addition, there were the distinct auras of the law of devouring, innate ferocious beast aura, innate malevolent energy, and even the auras of other divine demon true bodies. These combined auras truly left the Daoist of Creation utterly bewildered.
"How can this be? It actually has an aura of creation origin within it, the same origin as mine. Wait, I can't think straight. I am certain that this matter was not caused by the Divine Demon of Creation, nor by me. So, it must be that someone stole a portion of its origin when the Divine Demon of Creation perished. Are the other divine demon auras also like this? As far as I recall, all the named innate divine demons have perished, or at least been severely wounded. Who is so covertly stealing the remains of divine demons!"
"No, there must be a conspiracy behind this. I need to contact some old friends. I have a feeling the person behind this has grand ambitions. Most importantly, these four ferocious beasts possess an aura of creation origin. If I don't inform others beforehand, they might suspect me.
After muttering to himself for a while, and discreetly recording the Taotie's aura and image, the Daoist of Creation quickly departed and contacted his friends. He intended to inform them of the situation so they could be wary, and also to privately discuss what exactly was happening and if they had any suspects.
Most importantly, he wanted to make it clear to them from the outset that he was not involved in this matter. It was not something he had done. That way, if the situation escalated, and they suspected him, it would be difficult to explain. It was better to clarify things from the beginning and avoid such a predicament.
