The Celestial Silkworm, in life, would transform into a dragon, and upon death, ascend in the sunlight, becoming the Golden Crow.
At this moment, Xu Xuan finally understood the true nature of the Silkworm Pearl, and why it was named so.
The Divine Sect didn't merely abandon the physical body; such an idea was evidently mistaken. Pure soul cultivation was severely unbalanced—a cultivator like himself who excelled in Thunder Law would utterly crush it, leaving no chance for retaliation.
After discarding the physical shell, the key was to use the Silkworm Pearl to cocoon oneself and transform the essence of one's life, becoming either a Bai Long or a Golden Crow.
Both were top-tier Divine Beasts.
But did Xu Xuan need to transform?
The answer was impossible; he could awaken a part of the Divine Beast's divine skills by absorbing its bloodline, but he was not to become a Divine Beast himself.
