Chapter 122 Leap in the Genetic Level of Life
Beneath the sacred tree of life, Lin Yun sat cross-legged, his consciousness immersed in the ocean of life's rules.
For several days in a row, he cultivated the two major branches of Life Affinity and Life Enhancement. Every day, from dawn till dusk, he analyzed the genetic map of the Sacred Tree of Life, then integrated the superior gene sequences into his own body. His life essence was constantly improving—from 10 times to 15 times, from 15 times to 20 times, from 20 times to 25 times…
"The improvement of the essence of life is getting slower and slower." Lin Yun opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.
On the first day, he increased his speed from 10 to 20 times, doubling it completely. On the second day, he only increased it to 25 times. On the third day, 28 times. On the fourth day, 30 times. After that, no matter how hard he tried, his life essence stagnated at around 30 times, and he could no longer increase it rapidly.
"According to the content of the inheritance, the life enhancement limit at the Saint Realm level should be 100 times." Lin Yun realized in his heart, "I am only at 30 times now, not even a third of the Saint Realm limit. The road ahead is still very long."
On the Yulan Continent, the descendants of the four ultimate warrior families possess a basic strength at the Saint Realm level that is about 10 times that of an ordinary Saint Realm warrior. He, however, has reached 30 times, three times their strength. Without using any laws or magic, his physical attributes are already three times that of an ordinary peak Saint Realm ultimate warrior.
But this is far from the limit. The limit at the Saintly level is 100 times, and he still needs to continue to work hard.
However, Lin Yun also discovered a problem—when his life essence increased 30 times, the effects of the dragon transformation state almost disappeared.
"I see." Lin Yun said thoughtfully.
The dragon transformation of a Dragonblood Warrior is essentially a temporary elevation of their life essence to a higher level through bloodline power. An ordinary Dragonblood Warrior's base level is 1x, and after dragon transformation, it can reach about 10x. But now, his base level is already 30x, and the limit of the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline is around 30x. Bloodline power cannot further elevate a life essence that is already 30x.
"Dragonization is meaningless to me now." Lin Yun shook his head, but he was not disappointed. Although he could no longer increase his power, his defense would still be enhanced after dragonization.
Dragon transformation is merely a means, not an end. His goal is to continuously enhance the essence of life, rather than relying on the power of bloodline. Strengthening life is the fundamental objective.
"continue."
Lin Yun didn't stop. He continued to analyze the genetic map of the Tree of Life and continue to optimize his body. Although his speed had slowed down, every step he took was solid and steady.
Meanwhile, in another dimension, in the world of Swallowed Star, his other body was also undergoing earth-shattering changes.
In the cultivation room of the Bright Moon Community in the Swallowed Star World.
Lin Yun sat cross-legged, suspended in mid-air, the fluctuations of the six elemental laws flowing slowly around him. He had been in seclusion here for several days when suddenly, a large amount of information flooded into his mind.
The information didn't come from the outside world, but from the depths of his soul—from another version of himself in the Panlong world, who was cultivating the rules of life. The souls of the two worlds shared the same origin, and the insights gained in the Panlong world were synchronously transmitted to the Swallowed Star world.
"This is... the rule of life?" Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat.
He could sense that those messages contained the mysteries of the essence of life—life affinity, life enhancement, endless cycle of life, the source of life, the gift of life, and the origin of life. Fragments of the six branches surged into his consciousness like a tide.
Lin Yun was very clear that in the Swallowed Star world, the rules of life were the fundamental rules of the primordial universe, the starting point of all life dimensions in the primordial universe. The entire primordial universe originated from life and ended in destruction.
The rules of life are above the ten fundamental laws (time, space, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light), and are a more profound existence, even above the laws of chaos. In the original work, they are the supreme rules that only powerhouses at the level of god-kings can comprehend!
"I see," Lin Yun realized.
In the world of Panlong, the rules of life are also among the supreme rules, surpassing even the laws of elements. In the world of Swallowed Star, the rules of life are equally supreme—the origin of the primordial universe and the source of all life.
The rules of destruction correspond to the origin of life and represent the end of the primordial universe. Just like the Beasts of the Realm and the primordial universe, they are inherently opposing forces!
At the very moment Lin Yun comprehended the rules of life, the origin of the primordial universe seemed to undergo some subtle changes.
The change was subtle; it wasn't a vibration or a roar, but a gentler, warmer feeling. It was like a woman becoming pregnant, a new life being conceived in the primordial origin of the universe.
And Lin Yun was that life.
In the perception of the primordial universe, Lin Yun was no longer just an ordinary star-level cultivator, but a "child of the universe" in the making. His life level was approaching the origin of the primordial universe. Although he was still very weak, he was already incomparably noble in terms of life level.
"This is..." Lin Yun could feel a massive power surging out from the origin of the primordial universe and pouring into his body.
That power wasn't genetic energy, nor was it mental power; it was something more fundamental—the power of the very origin of life. It silently flowed into every cell of his body, nourishing his soul and elevating the essence of his being.
At this moment, Lin Yun's life essence began to undergo a transformation.
His genetic makeup was changing rapidly; the life-growth genes that were originally one-times that of an ordinary person were beginning to increase at a visible rate.
2 times, 3 times, 5 times, 10 times...
"This is the effect of life enhancement!" Lin Yun was shocked.
In the Panlong world, it took him several days to increase his life essence from 10 times to 30 times. But in the Swallowed Star world, the primordial universe source directly helped him complete this process, and at a faster speed with more significant results.
20 times, 25 times, 30 times, 35 times...
The improvement at the genetic level is still ongoing.
Lin Yun could feel every cell in his body undergoing a transformation. His muscle fibers were becoming denser, his bones were becoming harder, and his blood was flowing with stronger vitality. Although his body was only about 1.8 meters tall, the aura he exuded was several times more terrifying than that of the Golden Horned Beast—it wasn't a change in strength, but a leap in the essence of his life.
40 times, 45 times, 50 times...
Ultimately, the improvement at the genetic level stopped at 50 times.
50 times the level of life genes.
Lin Yun opened his eyes, a look of disbelief flashing within them. 50 times—this meant that his basic strength was 50 times that of an ordinary human cultivator. Without using any laws or secret techniques, he could kill an ordinary Constant Star cultivator of the same level with a single punch.
"This...this is too terrifying," Lin Yun murmured.
But he quickly calmed down. While the advancement in his life's genetic level significantly enhanced his basic strength, his understanding of the laws was fundamental. Without the support of the laws, mere physical strength was still insufficient in the face of true powerhouses.
"However, it seems that improving one's life gene level also helps with comprehending the laws," Lin Yun thought to himself.
He could feel that his perception of the fundamental laws had become clearer. The previously somewhat vague fluctuations of the laws were now clearly discernible. His previously somewhat sluggish thinking had become agile and flexible. The elevation of his life's genetic level had strengthened the connection between his soul and the primordial origin of the universe, making the comprehension of the laws much easier.
"If I continue to elevate my life gene level, my comprehension of the laws will also continue to accelerate." A sense of anticipation welled up in Lin Yun's heart.
Just as the human's genetic level stabilized at 50 times, his golden-horned behemoth avatar was also undergoing changes.
Within the primordial core world, the Golden Horned Beast's avatar curled up in the center of its inner world, its scales emitting a faint golden light. A vast surge of primal life force flowed into its body, beginning to elevate its genetic level.
The Golden Horned Beast's life essence was originally 10 times that of an ordinary human. Under the power of the primordial universe's origin, its genetic level began to rise.
12 times, 15 times, 18 times, 20 times...
Because the Golden Horned Beast's foundation was far stronger than that of the human, its rate of improvement was actually slower. The life gene map was constantly being adjusted and optimized, and each adjustment required time.
22 times, 25 times, 28 times, 30 times...
Ultimately, the Golden Horned Beast's genetic level also stopped at 50 times.
Just like the human being itself.
"A golden-horned behemoth with 50 times the life gene level..." Lin Yun estimated in his mind.
The Golden Horned Beast's life essence was originally 10 times that of an ordinary human, but now it has increased to 50 times. This means its base strength is 50 times that of an ordinary human cultivator. If we also consider the double amplitude of the "Original World"...
"Even Luo Feng's first-tier universe-level Golden Horned Beast might not withstand a single claw from me." Lin Yun's lips curled up slightly. Although his Golden Horned Beast was still at the ninth tier of the Hengxing level, its life gene level was five times that of Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast. Coupled with the difference in their understanding of the laws, the gap between their Golden Horned Beast clones was widening!
The improvement at the genetic level brings more than just an enhancement of basic strength.
Lin Yun could feel that his understanding of the fundamental laws had become clearer. The Golden Horned Beast avatar, originally at the sixth level of the Metal Domain, experienced a significant acceleration in its comprehension of the Metal Domain after its genetic level was enhanced. In a short period, it rose from the sixth level to the eighth.
"I'm not far from comprehending the fundamental laws of metal," Lin Yun thought to himself.
Meanwhile, the speed at which the human being comprehended the laws also increased several times over. The fluctuations of the six fundamental laws became clearer to him than ever before. Those previously obscure and difficult-to-understand mysteries of the laws were now unfolding before him like pages of an open book.
"Cultivating the rules of life not only elevates the level of one's genetic makeup but also accelerates the speed of comprehending the laws," Lin Yun realized. "These are mutually reinforcing. The higher the essence of life, the stronger the resonance with the origin of the primordial universe, and the easier it is to comprehend the laws."
This is a positive cycle.
All of this stems from the inheritance of the rules of life that he obtained in the Panlong world.
In the cultivation room, Lin Yun opened his eyes and slowly descended from the sky.
He exuded a strange aura—not the fluctuation of laws, not the flow of genetic energy, but a more essential and profound aura. It was the aura of life, the aura of the primordial origin of the universe.
"50 times the level of life genes..." Lin Yun clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his body.
His physique remained unchanged, still around 1.8 meters tall, but the aura he exuded was entirely different. Before, he was like a drawn sword, its sharpness readily apparent. Now, he was like a dormant volcano, restrained and profound. Only those who knew him well could sense the terrifying power contained within him.
He walked to the window and opened it. Moonlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating his face. The distant starry sky was dazzling, with countless stars twinkling in the darkness.
"Next, I need to consolidate my realm and continue to improve," Lin Yun thought to himself.
The advancement of one's life genetic level is not achieved overnight. Although the primordial universe helped him complete his first leap, subsequent advancements require him to cultivate life affinity and life enhancement, continuously analyze the life essence of all things, and constantly optimize his own genetic blueprint. The limit of the Saintly Realm level is 100 times, and he is still far from that.
"The road ahead is long," Lin Yun said softly.
He turned and walked back to the meditation room, sat down cross-legged again, and closed his eyes.
His consciousness sank into a state of intimate connection with life, and he "saw" his own genetic map—an extremely complex network woven from countless fine lines. Each line represented a gene sequence. Each gene sequence determined his life characteristics.
"It still needs further optimization," Lin Yun thought to himself.
Following the method of cultivating life affinity in the Panlong world, he began to analyze his own genetic map, looking for those gene sequences that were not good enough, and then replacing them with the excellent gene sequences analyzed from the Tree of Life.
This is a meticulous process that requires patience and experience.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
Moonlight bathed his shoulders, and the meditation room was completely silent. His consciousness roamed the ocean of life.
Meanwhile, in another world, the Panlong World, he continued to cultivate life affinity and life enhancement under the Tree of Life.
