Chapter 291: Dead Soul Spirit Jade, True Nature of Samsara

Regarding what Wu Tong had said, Chu Zheng felt no surprise, as he easily understood.

Within the Great Universe, the basic condition to be called a living creature was to possess Spiritual Wisdom. All those with Spiritual Wisdom inevitably harbor seven emotions and six desires.

Some herbs and Spiritual Medicines are born with immense power, inaccessible to ordinary living creatures, but until they undergo Spiritual Awakening, no matter how strong their energy, they are still merely plants and cannot be called demons.

Once endowed with seven emotions and six desires, there naturally exists a differentiation between kinship and estrangement towards other living creatures.

Wu Tong was the best example. As powerful as he was, he still had vulnerabilities. For that Netherworld Phoenix, he had trapped himself completely in that realm. For millions of years, even when corrupted by evil energy and his essence was damaged, he had never moved a single step.
