In the next three months, Lu Ren continuously adjusted the cell within him used as an experimental subject. In his vision, this thing is absolutely not just absorbing the energy of the sun and moon essence, but should effectively utilize all energies of nature.
Only such efficiency can further rise, rather than currently having a conversion rate of merely six percent, which is just better than nothing.
Perhaps having tasted too much high-level stuff, he somewhat looked down on this low-level self-operation.
Lu Ren sighed; ever since he had the Red Dragon Inner Core, he became picky, even disdainful of such extremely inefficient absorption methods, which are already considered ideal by others.
However, Lu Ren was not discouraged. Strictly speaking, the current endeavor was just refining his own system hierarchy. After all, the Red Dragon Inner Core is ultimately a foreign object, and there would come a day when it would be depleted, even though until now, his usage is only derived from the mist that spontaneously dissipates from the core. Preparing as early as possible is always wise.
Struggling diligently for three months, Lu Ren finally evolved the energy filtering organ.
Since epidermal cells absorb the sun and moon essence, an additional membrane layer can directly emerge in the dermal tissue to specifically filter and transform absorbed alien energies, enhancing the efficiency of using Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism and similar energies.
This way, not only does he not need to alter the energy circulation network in the body with Ten Earth True Qi as the foundation, but it also lays a foundation for absorbing various unusual energies in the heavens and earth later.
Having repeatedly demonstrated it for ten days, ensuring no problems, he then saw that cell in the center of his chest, occasionally flickering with faint silver under the moonlight, slowly spreading towards the corners of his body.
In a manner of assimilation, it began gradually infecting surrounding cells, transforming them to be like itself. Dıscover more novels at NoveI[F]ire.net
Lu Ren undertook this process at a cliffside, facing the rising and setting of the sun and moon, spending almost a year to completely transform his body.
Under the Ninth Skillful Wisdom Land Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect, although his body no longer exposed all the Samādhi likened to Vajra like before, with the Bodhisattva Fruit Position Divine Wheel blessing behind his brain, he was no different from the Bodhisattvas described in legends.
Although his formidable body showed pronounced muscles, it didn’t appear cumbersome in the slightest, but carried a mountain-like heaviness within its grace.
This was a powerful momentum capable of overwhelming ten gatherings.
Gently opening his eyes, Lu Ren exhaled deeply, the breath he released stirring up a strong wind that rushed far off before halting.
He somewhat understood why, in mythical tales, the immortals often secluded themselves for years or decades.
Some cultivation practices simply cannot be stopped; halting would waste prior efforts, returning to square one, which is too costly, forcing cultivators to march on resolutely.
Lu Ren looked down at his body, which at this moment was surrounded by a misty halo.
This was due to the divine anomaly generated from absorbing the sun and moon essence.
With slight regulation, controlling the absorption speed, or even shutting it off, such phenomenon could be ceased.
After trying somewhat, ensuring no issues, Lu Ren fully opened, allowing absorption at full capacity.
The energy between heaven and earth was abundant, even reaching deep into the starlit sky, into the Void Land; there were numerous cosmic ray energies available for absorption.
Now was merely taking the first step through the mechanism of flora.
Conclusively, it could be said: the road is long and arduous, requiring continuous exploration and advancing.
Lu Ren glanced at the system’s Dimension Anchoring, it seemed in about three or four months, he could return.
As for continuing to pursue the paths of Shakyamuni and Old man, venturing deep into the cosmos, advancing with the shaky Teleportation Array in Beidou Realm.
Lu Ren had no intention whatsoever, as his path differed completely from those of Shakyamuni and Old man, who pursued the ultimate extraordinary through seeking mythical tides of extraordinary power. Lu Ren only needs to proceed methodically, accumulating skill points to sprint forward.
The upcoming task is merely to nourish and perfect his physique and expertise, enabling the next realm upgrade, thereby achieving the Perfection Realm of the Ten Lands True Scripture, reaching the Tenth Dharma Cloud Land, attaining Bodhisattva Perfection, and glimpsing the Buddha’s insight.
Now, due to the elevation in cultivation realm, to advance further, there is the path in the Inner Realm leading to the legendary Land of Origin.
Lu Ren has tried before, but under the Beidou Emperor Star, it seemed the direction of the path in the Inner Realm differed from when he was on Earth, and there were presences within making his scalp tingle even with his current strength.
If the path was mistaken, it could result in significant trouble, might even call forth something remarkable.
Lu Ren decided exploration of the Inner Realm should only proceed after returning to Earth.
It seemed the position in the cosmos also influenced the results of exploring the Land of Origin in the Inner Realm.
He vaguely understood why, over nearly ten thousand years, apart from the few who achieved the Human Immortal Path Fruit during the golden age of cultivation when Shakyamuni and Old man visited, now those who reached the peak of Seeking Truth Realm stopped advancing.
It’s not that cultivators don’t want to proceed, but immense terror lies ahead.
Those who progressed have already perished.
The path forward has been forcibly blocked by some terrifying existence, to advance further, one must leave Beidou Emperor Star, journey to other areas.
So, the rundown Teleportation Array guarded by the central royal clan of Beidou Realm represents further hope.
Unsurprisingly, after reaching Seeking Truth Realm, under the elevation of Heart Eye Perspective, the world seen was shrouded with a layer of possibility.
In a sense, this represented an inner world, observed through a deeper layer of perspective.
However, due to the blankness of information acquired from this perspective layer, Lu Ren dared not pay too much attention, slowly taking time for verification.
Lu Ren no longer lingered; lifting himself into the air, he sped at full force, instantly breaking the sound barrier, under the Phoenix True Wings formed from the fusion of Ten Earth True Qi and Hundred Forms, along with his understanding of space, allowing him to accelerate continuously.
In final acceleration, he astonishingly reached a speed of fifteen times the speed of sound.
Such formidable flying speed, even in modern society, under current Earth technology, achieving such hypersonic flight might be envisioned only by certain models of missiles ascending toward near-Earth orbit and falling, though flying devices might exist, they are exceedingly rare.
