However, Ge Dongxu soon shook his head and smiled wistfully.
Nowadays, the spiritual energy on Earth is so thin that even humans can hardly cultivate it successfully, let alone birds, beasts, insects, and snakes.
Ge Dongxu himself was a man of great fortune. Not only had he met a great sage, Ren Yao, in his youth, but after Ren Yao passed away, by chance, Ge came into a significant inheritance. Moreover, he was naturally gifted and knew how to integrate modern science in search of the true path of cultivation, thus he could be considered a modern sage. He was also not lacking in wealth, which contributed to his achievements today.
What about birds, beasts, insects, and snakes? Regardless of their intelligence, just surviving under the rapid development and environmental destruction caused by human society today is already commendable, much less evolving into demons. The probability of that happening is far less than Ge Dongxu achieving his current success.
