Into the Immortal Cultivation - Chapter 1920
[Chapter 232: The Descendants of the Symbiote]
Devouring alien creatures is really a technical job, and it requires a high level of technology. .In
addition to the direct extraction of spiritual power or the transformation of matter by means of magic, all energy transfer and absorption are determined by changes in physical properties at the molecular level. Therefore, what a creature can and cannot eat is actually decided from the beginning.
Even if the properties of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen determine that the sugars, esophagus, and lipids in the entire universe have similar structures, the probability of encountering digestible species on other planets is very low. .
Because digestion and absorption are ultimately built on the enzyme system. Enzymes are highly selective substances. An enzyme can only digest one or several substances.
For living beings, “preparing an enzyme for common organic matter in the living environment” is much more efficient than “preparing many enzymes to ensure that any substance can be digested”.
Even if you do come across sugars that are structurally similar to your homeworld creatures, you still have to consider chirality, isotopes, and so on.
If one of them is wrong, then the substances you encounter cannot be absorbed by your physical body, and instead will cause confusion in the physiological system.
The so-called legend that “immortals don’t eat human fireworks” actually comes from this way in most cases.
After the immortal left the home planet, it was really not easy to find a bite to eat. Thanks to the immortals who can’t die without food, or else the cause of death of this immortal in the universe is mostly “starvation”.
The characteristic of “no need to eat” not only makes the immortals break away from social production, but also ensures that the immortals will not starve to death after leaving their home planet.
I have to say that the Great Sage of Heaven and Man really took all aspects into consideration when designing the Nascent Soul Law.
And like the dragon clan, who can eat alien organic matter casually, and can eat it with relish, most of them have practiced.
Whether it’s creating digestive enzymes or flipping chirality, they can do it.
In other words… without the level of the dragon race, it is really difficult to do this.
Wang Qi doesn’t think that a population that quickly disappears in a mass extinction of high spirits can compare to the dragon race.
In other words…
“Pfft, it’s not the aborigines of this planet!”
Wang Qi’s eyes lit up when he thought of this. He had a lot of bold plans in an instant.
Of course, just thinking about it. He, Wang Qi, is not a murderous madman, and this time he is not rushing to raid his family and exterminate his family.
But, being not aboriginal, it means some kind of moral shackles… ahem.
All in all, Poula is not aboriginal, which raises some new questions.
For example…
“Do immortals also have parasites on their bodies?”
Wang Qi knew that alien immortals also had “gu tricks” and other means to refine poisonous insects into magical instruments and clones. However, since it is a refining Gu, it means that there is no need to stick to the species on his home planet. A Gu worm held by an immortal may not necessarily come from his home planet.
What’s more, things like “gu insects” are really weak in the realm of immortals. There is no evidence that a biological agent is effective across the biosphere. The possibility of silicon-based biological agents being useful to carbon-based organisms is very small. In this case, “no reaction” is the norm, and “physical damage to blood vessels” may be the greatest result of the use of biological agents across the biosphere.
This approach is truly rare.
Therefore, Wang Qi’s primary suspect is “parasites”.
But that’s kind of… crap.
Because the celestial body is strong, the non-specific immunity is almost infinite. It’s hard to imagine any parasite-like antigens that could persist in a fairy. Even if the parasite is really not born to stimulate the immune function of the species to which the immortal belongs… With such a big goal, the immortal can use the immortal power to crush it in the body, right?
However, an analysis was already attached to the report in Wang Qi’s hands. The analysis raised another conjectured symbiont.
In China, many creatures will form a symbiotic relationship with microscopic creatures.
After birth, baby elephants eat the feces of their parents. This is often the cubs’ first meal. This phenomenon is very common not only in elephants, but also in other herbivores such as pandas, hippos, horses, and some lizards.
This is because, in order to digest food, many animals need the help of the commensal bacterial community in the gut. Newborn pups lack these bacteria in their guts and need to get them from the parent’s feces.
The same is true for humans, except that babies don’t need to eat feces to get these bacteria.
Scraping the intestines of the human race can scrape out a kilogram of symbiotic bacteria, a full ten trillion bacteria.
These bacteria also affect the health of the human body.
And speaking in a broad sense… In fact, mitochondria also belong to the creatures that live in symbiosis with us.
When practicing, it is indeed an interesting topic in which direction these symbiotic experiences are strengthened.
Be aware that the gut microbiota is different from mitochondria or parasites. According to the biological definition, “gut” can be properly considered “in vitro”. In the “topological isomorphism between the human race and the focal circle”, the “eye” on the human race refers to the “gut”.
Nascent Soul Fadeng Immortal can indeed be refined into a leak-free body, refining the body like an iron plate, but what about the part in the intestine that is strictly “outside the body” but is closely related to human life?
Both Tiansheng Peak and Spirit Beast Mountain have special research groups to study the influence of a certain individual’s cultivation on other creatures that have a symbiotic relationship with it.
For example… After the human race became immortal, whether the symbiotic flora in the intestinal tract has been strengthened synchronously, or has not changed. If it is strengthened, to what extent can this strengthening be achieved?
In fact, this is a rather serious subject. This involves two very cutting-edge concepts: first, where is the definition of “inside” and “outside”, and where is the boundary between “self” and “other”; second, how does the Yuanying Law transform ordinary things into greatness thing.
According to the limited information and the modern nature of demonized creatures, many demons can turn parasites into things like Gu worms. This kind of supernatural power is naturally generated in the process of cultivation. Many whales can turn the whale lice and barnacles on their bodies into Dao soldiers and magic weapons.
Some people speculate that the intestinal flora may be the same. It’s just that I didn’t realize that there was such a power in my body before.
It is said that Tianlingling has even developed a method for refining the intestinal flora into a Taoist soldier or a magic weapon. It is a pity that so far, no creature has chosen to practice this method. For general spells to enter the “Exchange Sequence”, at least three phases of empirical evidence are required to prove their effectiveness and harmlessness [meaning harmless to practitioners], and this method has been stuck in the first phase, and no volunteers can be recruited at all. .
And there is speculation that the ancestors of Pola may have a similar nature.
“Interesting…because it is a symbiotic relationship, the mana of the death immortal does not defend them. And they can bypass the natural defense mechanism of immortal power and digest the flesh of immortals because of this important relationship.”
“So it is…there is. Reason.”
“Because it is a symbiotic relationship, they will not be killed by the Great Extinction at the beginning. During the process of cultivation of the immortal, the ancestors of Pola have gradually adapted to the immortal power of immortals and become immortals. But it is also because of the immortal power, it is impossible for these guys with powerful spiritual power to obtain their own spiritual wisdom.”
“And when the immortal dies for some reason, the ego in the immortal power is erased. Afterwards…these ancestors of Pula finally had the opportunity to obtain the ‘self’.”
“Referring to the experience of the underground… Although the self in the immortal power has been completely erased, there may be remaining fragments of the soul. These Fragments have enabled Pola to gain enlightenment and civilization.”
Wang Qi thought for a moment. He couldn’t help but start thinking about a question.
Among the immortals, he is not weak. If Wang Qi knelt down, then the symbiotic bacterial community in his intestines would…
“Mom, whether it’s a big dung ooze monster or a mushroom man, it seems to be very ruinous.”
“So… if there is a physical body outside in the future. Xing knelt down…then it should be completely cremated.”
After driving these thoughts of destroying the three views out of his mind, Wang Qi stood up.
“This conjecture can solve a lot of problems.”
“In this way, the operation of sneaking into Pola can begin.”
After a few minutes, Wang Qiyuan’s brain in Green Star also realized this.
As a result, the white flame of life soared into the sky.
Affected by this violent negative entropy, Wuzhu’s immortal force rolled violently, as if some powerful ghost was about to rush out of this immortal force. In the sky, aura overflowed.
The magic circle arranged by Wang Qi in distress diverted the turbulent power one by one to ensure that his work of fabricating his avatar could be successfully completed. And his own power, like mercury, spreads all around, excluding the powerless immortal power, and at the same time constructing a body protection method, isolating the mysterious jealousy from the prying eyes that may appear at any time.
After a while, a pink flesh worm the size of a fist fell to the ground. Wang Qi’s soul was shocked, and a strand of his soul was divided into the master.
Young polas are very fragile. There is no hard shell on the body. Chelates are just ordinary muscle tentacles, and they don’t even look like eyes.
Because the adult body is not directly spelled out from cells, but cultured from the embryo, Wang Qi did not directly obtain the adult body.
However, for a person who has mastered the transformation method and can direct somatic cells to re-differentiate at will, “growing” is really a very simple thing.
As long as there is food.
“Well, that’s right. And this place just happens to have the food that Poo likes very much.”
Wang Qi showed a satisfied smile.
“Although in the mouth of the human race, this kind of fungus is very unpalatable, but I remember that those puffers regarded it as delicious, and even gave them to me.”
“That is to say, this is what I am . Nutrition for the rapid growth of the flesh.”
Wang Qi took the bacteria blocks directly from the soil and sent them into the clone’s mouth.
After a long time, a nauseated sigh came from above the wilderness: “Ouch…”
