If the Golden Eagle could learn the Innate Skill and be trained to have muscle memory,

allowing it to constantly engage in cultivation,

then Wang Ye would essentially have a powerful avatar.

Anything the main body finds inconvenient to do, he could command the Golden Eagle to accomplish.

Moreover, it would leave no traces and would not be held accountable by any organization.

After all, who would prosecute a beast for killing?

Furthermore, the Golden Eagle is listed as a protected species under the Endangered Species Act in the United States, classified as a federally protected migratory bird. Even if the Golden Eagle harms someone, they wouldn’t hunt it down for that reason.

However, for now, the offensive power of this Golden Eagle isn’t strong enough;

any random person with a gun could easily kill this Golden Eagle.

Therefore, Wang Ye needs to employ other methods to enhance the physique of this Golden Eagle.

And the Innate Skill,

is a very good method.

No matter what training methods exist, none are as efficient as cultivation.

Also, in Wang Ye’s observations, he discovered that because beasts roam in nature year-round, they instinctively absorb countless Spiritual Qi from the heavens and earth through their daily actions like breathing and hunting, making their bodies inherently contain a significant amount of Innate Qi.

For example, this Golden Eagle itself has a Primordial Qi Amount that is five or six times that of an average person, which is about five to six hundred units.

Moreover, the physical foundations of beasts, including this Golden Eagle, are much stronger than those of humans. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

If it were really possible for beasts to cultivate, then they would likely progress faster than humans.

Additionally, as Wang Ye knows, the Innate Skill also has the effect of enlightening the mind; after reaching a certain level of cultivation, it can make an unintelligent person wise, and bestow intelligence upon beasts not yet enlightened.

If this plan truly succeeds, then Wang Ye might be able to cultivate mythological creatures in reality.

Wang Ye drove for two hours and finally returned to the hotel by early evening.

Taking advantage of the light that hadn’t completely disappeared, he took Carlos for a few hours of off-road training.

When the sky fell completely dark, Wang Ye went alone to the nearby wilderness to start implementing his plan.

Since the Golden Eagle always stayed near his vicinity, Wang Ye merely waved his hand, and minutes later, the Golden Eagle landed on his arm.

After one or two days of growth, this Golden Eagle had become slightly larger. This was due to both Wang Ye channeling energy and its continuous hunting of prey. Though there were no wild zebras or antelopes, which are large herbivores, in the vicinity, there were enough small birds and medium-small beasts to sustain the Golden Eagle.

Wang Ye patted the Golden Eagle’s head, calming it, and promptly used his ability to control it.

In an instant, a part of his consciousness entered the Golden Eagle’s brain. At the same time, he felt everything the Golden Eagle experienced; if he wanted to lift a hand, approximately 1 millisecond later, the Golden Eagle’s talon would lift. If he wanted to fly, approximately 1 millisecond later, the Golden Eagle’s wings would start flapping. At this moment, the Golden Eagle was Wang Ye, and Wang Ye was the Golden Eagle. Their transfer of consciousness was as if connected by an optical cable, with almost no barriers to perception.

Wang Ye felt a hint of joy. Since the energy of consciousness is limited, remaining in a controlled state for an extended period could lead to mental fatigue, even damage to brain nerves. Therefore, the duration of control is roughly about an hour, requiring him to continuously let the Golden Eagle’s body practice the Innate Skill within this hour.

During this period, he should try his best to develop muscle memory in the Golden Eagle’s body.

While cultivation may appear complex, it is actually a very pure endeavor. It simply requires emptying the mind and body and routinely circulating Primordial Qi to achieve the effect of cultivation.

Humans find cultivation challenging because most are plagued with too many distractions, making it difficult to empty the mind and body. But wild animals are different; their thoughts are extraordinarily simple, allowing them to easily enter a state of cultivation.

Thus, familiarizing the Golden Eagle with cultivation was not a difficult matter for Wang Ye.

He controlled the Golden Eagle’s body to stand on the ground, maintaining a slightly bent posture. Then, he mobilized the Primordial Qi within the Golden Eagle, allowing it to circulate through the body’s various acupoints and meridians in a fixed manner.

Buzz—

The Golden Eagle’s feathers suddenly began to flutter slightly, and the surrounding air seemed to distort slightly; this was a phenomenon caused by the surrounding Primordial Qi being absorbed into its body.

When Wang Ye sensed the first trace of Primordial Qi enter the Golden Eagle’s body, he realized that the cultivation talent of wild animals was indeed impressive. Even given the Golden Eagle’s low baseline realm, its cultivation speed was slightly faster than his main body’s current speed.

However, he felt no jealousy in his heart, for no matter how extraordinary the Golden Eagle became, it would always be his subordinate. Besides, he saw no need to compete with a beast, as his system gave him a substantial advantage.

He maintained this efficiency, continuing to cultivate for half an hour. As more and more Primordial Qi was absorbed into the body, the path of practicing the Innate Skill became increasingly smooth. This was like practicing dance; when you first dance, every move might feel obscure, but after half a day of training, as the body develops muscle memory, performing the dance becomes seamless, even executing perfect moves without thinking.

Muscle memory is a fascinating thing, not true memory yet even more robust. Some people might knock their head and lose their memory, forget their own name and origin, but upon getting hold of their phone, they can instinctively unlock it.
