Chapter 26: Rising Sun, Rising Tide
Chapter 26: Rising Sun, Rising Tide
The instructions stated that the best way to administer the gene enhancement agent was to enter a medical cultivation chamber filled with oxygen-rich nutrient fluid, mimicking the fetal breathing process, and thus entering a unique fetal breathing state to better absorb the drug's power.
Unfortunately, Ji Jingqiu didn't have access to such facilities.
Moreover, he found this method unreliable.
The fourth realm of mental cultivation was fetal breathing, which was beyond the realm of tranquility. Even Yang Shi had yet to enter the realm of tranquility.
How could an imitation of external conditions allow entry into such a state?
The instructions also specifically mentioned that the enhancement transformation process would be extremely painful, suggesting biting down on a towel before injection.
However, Ji Jingqiu chose to ignore this warning.
If he couldn't endure it, he could retreat into the Meditation Pure Land.
If he could escape Nete Poison Syndrome, then surely he could withstand this transformation.
As Ji Jingqiu's thoughts slowly wandered, a burning sensation emerged from his innate bone structure, rising from his lungs and permeating through his limbs and bones, eventually reaching his skin. It was as if his entire body, inside and out, was being subjected to the scorching treatment of raging flames.
It felt like a heavy hammer was pounding him, an unrefined iron, from the inside out.
Only by enduring the fiery torment, through countless hammerings, could impurities be purged, and he be forged into a piece of fine iron.
This inhuman pain caused Ji Jingqiu's eyebrows to furrow slightly.
He inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity with this sensation.
That's right, it was very similar to that experiment with Old Man Mu.
It was also during that experiment that he found a path to self-salvation.
The world seemed like a melting pot, with people drowning in it, and heaven didn't save them; they had to save themselves.
At this moment, Ji Jingqiu seemed to have a new understanding of the Hellfire Buddhist Prison Visualization, and combined with his current state, he entered a profound and mysterious realm`—
His body was in a furnace, enduring the true fire's forging, while his mind plunged into the dark depths of the sea.
In the distance, an unknown call crossed mountains and rivers, passed through countless rivers and streams, and reached his ears.
Unconsciously, he followed this call and sank into the dark seawater.
The sound of flowing water echoed in his ears.
Ji Jingqiu felt as if he had returned to the womb that nurtured life, experiencing a brand new journey.
He had never felt such peace, as if he were lying in his mother's embrace, listening to her gentle and soft lullaby.
Endless drowsiness emerged, and he wanted to fall into a deep sleep.
Just as he was about to "close his eyes," a green heart lamp ignited and illuminated his glabella, reminding him not to walk into this peaceful night.
In an instant, a small tree sprouted and grew within the heart lamp, eventually taking root on Ji Jingqiu's head. It rustled its few leaves, creating a round halo that guarded Ji Jingqiu's mind.
In that moment, he regained clarity.
With a single thought released, he attained boundless ease.
After regaining clarity—
Even though Ji Jingqiu had never experienced this before, he instantly recognized that this was the depths of the Sea of Spirits.
He recalled for a moment and soon understood his situation.
He had just gained a new understanding of the Meditation Heart Decision.
This was originally a good thing, but it also caused him to unknowingly sink into the depths of the Sea of Spirits, almost getting lost there.
The root cause was the mismatch between mental cultivation and physical body cultivation.
For the first time, he deeply felt that his mental cultivation had truly "exceeded the standard."
Heaven didn't save them; they had to save themselves...
Ji Jingqiu silently recited this phrase, relying on the pure light shed by the Bodhi Tree, and escaped the danger of getting lost.
His consciousness returned to his original body, and the transformation of the gene enhancement agent was not yet complete.
Ji Jingqiu's heart stirred, and with the support of the Wisdom Light, he entered an inner vision state.
Like the sun and moon shining down, everything was laid bare.
Even clearer than when he previously relied on energy surges for sensing! In his perception, his body resembled a fragile porcelain statue, and from his internal organs to muscles and bones...
Every part was undergoing fundamental, subtle changes for the better.
He tentatively mobilized his Energy Surge, following the newly formed 'Mountain', actively reshaping the 'Energy Channels' according to his own will.
The previously difficult bends and challenging Acupoints were effortlessly smoothed out by the surging Energy Surge.
He followed the contours of the 'Mountain', almost entirely reshaping the channels according to his own will, carving out the ideal paths for his Energy Surge.
As he continued carving downward, his Blood Qi surged within, circulating repeatedly, and the streams of Energy Surge gradually thickened, becoming more refined and condensed.
The price was that his entire body trembled and heated up, and a tidal wave of pain spread throughout his body.
This transformative pain lasted for a long time, like opening a floodgate, until the accumulated Energy Reservoir gradually dried up, and the pain slowly subsided.
Finally, Ji Jingqiu fell into a state between sleep and wakefulness.
When Ji Jingqiu slowly woke up, an unprecedented sensation traveled from his fingertips, coursing through his entire body.
He slowly got up, sat cross-legged for a long time, but instead of feeling numbness in his legs, he had the illusion of being as light as a swallow and possessing innate divine strength.
It was as if the impurities of the mortal world had been shed, and his Blood Qi flowed freely with the Breathing Technique.
The original text is available on the sixth chapter of the book, available online!
Ji Jingqiu raised his hand, and his muscles seemed to exhibit a crystalline quality, having undergone a transformation. Moreover, there was a faint scent…
A subtle fragrance wafted from his body.
Usually, after a transformation, shouldn't the body expel impurities and emit a foul odor?
Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but take another sniff, and it indeed smelled pleasant.
He went to the bathroom, removed his clothes, and although his muscles weren't prominently defined, they were perfectly sculpted, and he could sense the vibrant vitality within.
After taking a shower and drying off, he noticed that the subtle fragrance on his body hadn't faded.
This left Ji Jingqiu a little bewildered.
It felt like the ancient records of highly cultivated Taoist priests and monks with translucent bodies, emitting a subtle fragrance, and whose bodies didn't decay even after death.
In ancient times, this was known as the 'Treasure Body'.
Could the effects of the Gene Enhancement Agent be this powerful? Ji Jingqiu fell into deep thought, planning to seek out the Yang Shi again tomorrow to find out more.
It was only then that Ji Jingqiu realized that it was already past five in the morning.
His transformation had lasted for over eight hours!
The power of the drug was immense, and even without testing, he could sense that this transformation far exceeded his expectations.
He was one step closer to 'self-rescue'.
Ji Jingqiu drew open the curtain that had been closed for a long time.
The sun in Taian City usually rose after six in the morning, and this coincided with his illness onset time.
So, he couldn't remember when he had last watched a sunrise.
Ji Jingqiu stood quietly by the window, gazing at the unfamiliar urban landscape outside, awaiting the dawn.
The city's skyline obscured the first rays of the sunrise.
As time passed, the golden glow in the distance gradually expanded.
A ray of morning light crossed over mountains and valleys, entering Ji Jingqiu's eyes.
His eyes, calm like the sun-drenched sky, were gentle and warm.
By the time the rising sun was fully above the horizon, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and Ji Jingqiu had withstood the first wave of illness onset.
He looked slightly fatigued.
He narrowed his eyes, opened his palm, and pointed it towards the vibrant rising sun at the horizon.
The skin on his palm glowed with the sun's golden radiance.
Then, he clenched his fist.
As if grasping that radiant sun.
Thanks to the Guild Master, Wood Ghost, for the support! I'll add more after the book goes on sale! This chapter was a bit late, so the update is delayed.
