Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2588 The Rise of Cthulhu Mode
All of a sudden.

A wave of genetic cultivation has swept across the martial arts world.

High-level cultivators, that is, those above the Jindan stage, learn modern knowledge, capture microorganisms, edit genes, and then integrate various control capabilities, auxiliary cultivation capabilities, and even the ability to make money into them.

Anyway, this really opened Wen Rensheng's eyes.

The mystery, which had remained unchanged for a long time, began to rise again.

It is now 17 points.

It's an increase of 100 points, which is not easy.

Wen Rensheng was very satisfied with this.

Sure enough, talent is the primary driving force in creating mystery.

The high-level monks let the low-level disciples practice the modified skills and take the modified pills.

He is still a righteous person and should have some dignity.

The demonic monks are much simpler and more brutal.

Directly integrate the gene-edited microorganisms into various insects and let the disciples take them.

This is really shameless.

Anyway, I ate it before and I eat it now.

From this point of view, the righteous disciples suffered a great loss.

After all, the demons used to eat all kinds of messy and dangerous things, and now it’s their turn.

The two sides ended in a draw.

The problem is that the magic path has fast progress in the early stages, but the hidden dangers are too great;

The right way relies on the fact that there are no hidden dangers to gain a sense of superiority.

Now that sense of superiority is gone.

Not only that, the high-level monks also provided ordinary disciples with various elixirs and food supplements for the first time, which could help the parasites reproduce and spread better.

This was never seen before.

Only the true geniuses can enjoy it.

When Wen Rensheng saw this scene, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He was surprised that this method was not adopted on a large scale against high-level monks.

On the contrary, if they don't do so, they will be gradually eliminated.

In fact, cultivating immortals is also a business competition model, and it requires a high degree of science and specialization, and cannot contain emotions.

It is like the decline of a sect, which often begins when the sect leader selfishly chooses his own bloodline instead of the true teachings of a genius.

This is the same as running a company, where the owner passes the company on to his incompetent children instead of entrusting it to others or simply selling it.

There's a high chance that the company is doomed.

Even the richest man cannot withstand the troubles of his children.

The good thing about a good market is that losses are localized to a small area, and positions are quickly taken over by more savvy people.

The same is true for cultivating immortals.

When Feng Wu Shi activated the control of microbial gene editing, other high-level cultivators had to keep up if they didn't want to be eliminated.

Wen Rensheng thought about it carefully again, isn’t this the elementary version of Cthulhu’s cultivation?
According to his deduction, this mode of cultivating immortals, once it reaches the level of gene editing, many people will quickly enter the mode of "not being human".

After all, although humanoids seem good, they actually have many disadvantages.

For example, you can’t rub your own back…

And just as Wen Rensheng guessed, those demonic monks and those poison monks were the most excited.

Because they discovered for the first time that their own path could quickly surpass the correct path.

"I didn't expect that in a world full of weaklings, there would be such good things."

"Hybridization brings out the best, it's really a truth."

“Humph, if I had obtained this knowledge two thousand years earlier, I would have been the one to have achieved the Divine Transformation by now.” A cultivator of the demonic path who was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul and at the peak of perfection... said unwillingly.

In this fanatical atmosphere, high-level monks began to enter the modern cultivation mode of microorganisms + gene editing + martial arts transformation... at a terrifying speed.

Some people choose to be more active.

They captured their opponents and performed genetic editing on them, trying to find the relationship between genes, qualifications, and spiritual roots.

Generally speaking, practitioners absorb external energy, transform themselves, and then strengthen their absorption ability again to accumulate energy...

From this point of view, in fact, every living creature is a primary practitioner.

It’s just that cultivators can absorb and store higher levels of energy.

The power displayed is also stronger.

But there is no essential difference.

It is nothing more than the absorption and transformation, release and utilization of energy.

As a result, the competition among high-level monks shifted to another microscopic level.

Eliminate the parasites released by your opponent, and then develop and strengthen your own parasites.

And then control more manpower.

Starting from a mortal to a monk.

…………

When Feng Wu Shi saw this, he did not feel panicked.

He had actually thought of this a long time ago.

He himself was in the previous world, and this was a very useful means.

Because in the last world, people had little knowledge, and even after developing civilization for hundreds of thousands of years, they were still struggling in the mud.

When you meet a genius like him with such strong inspiration, he will monopolize all resources.

But it is normal that it doesn’t work in this world.

He had thought of this before.

Because this world is connected to another modern world where ideas are open.

But he was not worried.

Because technology is something that will always spread.

But as long as he makes sure his skills become stronger, that will be enough.

When it comes to competition and internal competition, he will not lose to anyone.

Because he not only has the open experience, but also the hidden experience, and he has the most important experience as a monopolist.

But others don't.

He knows how to pace himself.

Many strong people rebelled to fight for the world, but they failed to grasp the rhythm and lost the good situation.

For example, Li Zicheng in the modern world.

Feng Wu Shi also saw it.

No one can say that Li Zicheng was doomed to fail and the Qing Dynasty was doomed to win.

In fact, if Li Zicheng had experience and was able to grasp the same rhythm, he could have concentrated his forces and developed in the south, leaving the north, which was in disarray, disease-ridden, and had no ability to supply food and grass, to the Qing Dynasty.

The Manchus hurriedly moved south of the Yangtze River and did not engage in any confrontation between the North and the South because the North could not afford the huge population.

Feng Wu Shi then continued to develop his own genetic microbial technology.

He wants to combine microorganisms and genes to develop them to a higher level and stronger level, and no one can do without them.

In other words, anyone who leaves them will be eliminated.

And the high-level monks began to compete more fiercely with each other.

Whose microorganisms are more powerful and who can occupy more territory in the world?

Who can occupy more monks' bodies?

They also know that this kind of competition will not last long and that a winner will be decided sooner or later.

In fact, once someone occupies one-third of the territory, others can no longer resist.

It's like playing a strategy game.

When the player occupies one-third of the city, the game is basically over.

The computer has no chance of turning around.

However, the high-level monks are not computers, and they will not give up easily.

They are still thinking about whether they can gain the advantage in the shortest time possible.

At this time, geographical advantages appear again.

After all, that kind of microorganism is still weak.

So we can’t cross the sea.

In other words, it must be done with the help of a medium.

As for the high-ranking monks, they conducted strict external inspections.

Ensure that foreign gene-edited microorganisms are not allowed to enter their territory.

They are able to do this, but the consequence is exhaustion.

In 12 hours a day, 4 hours must be spent patrolling back and forth, and everyone is in great pain. So, everyone could have been cultivating immortals happily.

As a result, once this gene editing technology came out, everyone had to keep up.

Everyone continued to work hard to develop their own unique technology.

This kind of gene editing and transformation technology can only be done by high-level cultivators, at least those who have reached the Golden Core Perfection, and can be easily mastered.

Because they are low-level monks, they don’t even have spiritual awareness and cannot see microorganisms, so they must rely on modern human instruments.

Not to mention gene editing.

Gene editing is a difficult task even in the modern world.

Of course, some of the work has already been done.

But the problem is that most of the time it is not very controllable and cannot fully meet your own needs.

And it requires a lot of experiments to achieve the desired mutation direction.

Interference from various unexpected factors will cause many problems in their gene editing.

Thus a new situation emerged.

In the microscopic world, territories of all sizes have been divided up by high-level monks.

Everyone defends their own place while trying their best to invade other people's territory.

For the first time, the entire cultivation world fell completely under the control of high-level cultivators.

In the past, although high-level cultivators were able to control themselves, their energy and time were limited after all, so they had to break through on their own and go into seclusion at any time.

Because this kind of control is less reliable than feudal rule in troubled times.

In addition, the cultivation world is extremely large, and even high-level cultivators with great magical powers find it difficult to patrol and monitor.

It can only be managed by sects, families, or dynasties.

But now it's different.

Relying on the expansion of microorganisms and the low-level monks' complete lack of understanding of these microorganisms, they quickly gained real control of their own territory.

Because microorganisms spread very quickly.

In addition, they carry genetic fragments of high-level monks, which can be used for future control.

They will gradually integrate these gene fragments into the body of the parasite.

In the end they act as an antenna switch.

As long as the high-level monks turn on the punishment switch, the low-level monks will have no way to escape.

Of course, there are also some shrewd lower-level cultivators who can, with the help of some luck or natural treasures, break through this limitation in advance and see the truth.

But what if you see the truth?

Faced with so many golden elixirs that benefited, these low-level cultivators had no choice at all.

Just like a person who has lost his survival skills, when faced with the demands of others, he can only retreat again and again.

In short, the exploitation and blockade of low-level cultivators are becoming more and more brutal in this world of martial immortals.

In the past, upper-level cultivators would usually only pass on resources and top-secret techniques to a few direct descendants.

Even if the qualifications of these direct descendants are not very high.

But their character can be controlled and they will not rebel easily.

Now, with the 24-hour control and insight of microorganisms, they are freed from their stressful jobs.

Can appear as the supreme controller at any time.

If anyone resists their rule, they will be paralyzed immediately.

Therefore, the selection of inheritance is very broad.

Some real genius can also be imparted.

Of course, high-level monks do not believe in this character.

Because character will change as one's strength changes.

Few people have very strong strength.

You can still maintain your original mindset.

Even if they can maintain it, they are very few people.

That is why they can't wait to embrace the new model of cultivating immortals that combines microorganisms, gene editing, and bloodline techniques.

…………

At this moment, in Wen Rensheng's eyes, the whole world was becoming stronger and stronger.

The entire cultivation world is becoming increasingly distorted.

All of this was caused by Feng Wu Shi, coupled with the knowledge pollution of the modern world.

And all of this is making the whole world more and more terrifying.

At this time, Wen Rensheng's gaze fell on a little monk.

This little monk.

His name is Zhang Liugen.

Zhang Liugen was once a monk full of aspirations.

Because he is very qualified.

When he was in the village, occasionally an immortal would pass by.

He conducted a root bone test for the entire village, which was a sudden inspiration of the immortal.

The results showed that he possessed a natural spiritual root, which was incredible.

At that time, the whole village was filled with the sound of firecrackers and drums.

The immortal was also very happy, and he directly asked the magistrate of the nearby dynasty county who managed them for a lifelong benefit for the entire village.

Generations of tax exemption, military service exemption, and all miscellaneous donations... are preferential treatment.

It sounds simple.

But the villagers were very grateful.

Some outsiders, out of jealousy, deliberately said, "Why is the immortal so stingy?"

"You should give tens of thousands of taels of silver and tens of thousands of acres of land."

The village chief scolded them: "The immortal is doing this for our own good."

"This preferential treatment can ensure that our village can survive safely for generations to come."

For the villagers, as long as the court had no taxes, no levies, and no labor service, they could live on.

Unless there is a natural disaster or a major disease.

What should we do if someone says we have too many children?
The people themselves can control their population.

What really oppressed their people and made their survival impossible was the ubiquitous labor and the increasing tax burden.

It's just that the population is too large and they will solve it themselves.

Although the method is cruel, it can ensure survival.

What really cannot be solved are the taxes imposed by the imperial court outside.

The immortal helped them solve this problem.

But he gave them neither silver nor land.

Even if others covet it or want to snatch it, there is nothing to snatch.

After all, this tax-free status is for people who live in the village for a long time.

Unless you move to this village.

You have to live here for generations to enjoy this benefit.

But those who want to move here don't have the ability to use force.

Those who have armed power cannot steal anything from this village.

It can be said that from this point alone, this embodies the wisdom of the immortals...

It does seem like a very kind person.

However, no one knew that this was just a tactic of playing hard to get.

Zhang Liugen was naturally very grateful.

Then after joining the sect, I worked hard to practice.

However, after he became familiar with the practice of the technique, he gradually felt something strange.

Because in this practice, they are asked to take various medicines every day.

The problem is that these many drugs seem to have no effect on the exercises.

Originally, Zhang Liugen was a new practitioner, so he shouldn't have any doubts.

But his natural spiritual roots, or his superior natural qualities, sent him a warning in his heart.

It's a mysterious feeling.

He always felt a little scared when eating this thing.

But when I saw that everyone else was eating and eating happily, I suppressed the warning in my heart.
