Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2592 The Only Way to Survive

The sect to which Zhang Liugen belonged was also renamed "Wuxiang Sect".

The mountain is also called Wuxiang Mountain.

The names are all very grand.

But what they do is very down to earth.

When everyone is completely let go, absorbing spiritual energy, transforming spiritual energy, and breaking through bottlenecks without any threshold, what remains is to completely snatch resources.

Originally, at least more than 9% of the cultivators would fall into a bottleneck in their cultivation.

In this situation, no matter how much spiritual energy you absorb, it will be useless.

Only pursue enlightenment, secret techniques, and elixirs.

This is equivalent to reducing the exploitation of spiritual energy in disguise.

At least this part of the cultivators will no longer linger in the spiritual veins, but will pursue various skills and various insights.

Even searching for elixirs.

The daily meditation time was reduced from 10 hours to 2 hours or even 1 hour.

Many people even choose to eat, drink and have fun, and give up practicing.

This group of talents is the largest, accounting for at least 80%.

This is the same as learning for ordinary people.

Only one in ten people who learn will persist to the end, and only one in a thousand will persist.

But now, it is different. No one has the bottleneck of absorption.

As long as you have inspiration, you can keep improving.

Isn't that just a desperate fight?
But in Wen Rensheng's eyes, this was something the high-level cultivators intentionally encouraged.

In this way, they can increase the territory they control.

Moreover, the cauldron and furnace prepared for oneself can also become powerful during the internal circulation.

Of course, if they really like the target, they will still protect one or two, so that they will not lack resources and will not hurt their bodies.

Likewise, in order to prevent others from going deeper into the genetic level, they programmed the microorganisms so that once someone breaks through to the Golden Elixir, if they are not on their whitelist, they will block their failure.

This is what Zhang Liugen is like now.

Although he took various pills to increase the size of his organs and honed his magic power to the peak.

Even though his essence, energy and spirit are perfect, he is still unable to break through to the golden elixir stage.

Every time he compressed his magic power into solid magic power, he found it difficult to move it to his dantian.

After carrying it over with great effort, you will find that your Dantian starts to become soft and tends to burst.

If you force it, you will find that your magic power is leaking.

However, under normal circumstances, Dantian is very solid...

It's like there's a trigger.

Yes, triggers are an important concept in modern human programming.

This means that when a certain condition is met, a corresponding event will be triggered immediately.

Can be programmed in advance.

Thinking of this, a hint of anger appeared in Zhang Liugen's eyes.

"Sure enough!"

"I knew it!"

"Sure enough, there is no good news. The foundation-building stage is easy, but the golden elixir stage is difficult!"

"With my natural spiritual roots, I'm said to not have any bottlenecks before I reach the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Now this is obviously planned by the master!"

"Master, you are so cruel!"

However, he was not unprepared.

And preparation, that is, Ah Huang!
"Ah Huang, come here. From today on, I will no longer be a human being. You will be the one!"

Ah Huang was happily chewing a bone in his mouth. When he heard this, he looked confused.

That’s right, in the entire sect, the only one who was not infected by the microorganism was the dog Ah Huang.

Because they were expelled by Zhang Liugen's magic power, and microorganisms have a repulsive effect on other creatures except humans.

They will absorb their nutrients, so the ecology of the entire Wuxian world has actually completely deteriorated.

Out there, many birds and animals that eat insects have been badly cheated.

As a result, the insects became more powerful.

Because bugs can more easily adapt to this microorganism.

They reproduce faster, and after one batch dies, another batch is quickly reborn.

In a short period of time, new populations that can adapt to these microorganisms have emerged.

This is also the reason why humans cannot solve the problem of insect diseases even though they use various pesticides and various insect-resistant plants.

Bugs are iterating too fast.

Moreover, they are small enough and consume little nutrients, and the natural world is large enough to leave room for them to iterate.

These practitioners are not blind to it.

Or rather, they saw it and didn’t care.

Because it doesn't affect them.

How many people die has nothing to do with them for the time being.

The damage may not be apparent until hundreds of years later.

At this time, Zhang Liugen projected his spiritual consciousness and magic power onto Ah Huang.

Thanks to his research on modern human genetic technology over the years, and the fact that he took so many medicines and mutated so many organs.

Now he is very familiar with this aspect.

Although he cannot yet see the underlying genes, he can easily change his form.

And what he did was actually equivalent to cultivating a clone.

It's not about taking over someone else's body.

Possessing someone else's body is very dangerous and difficult.

He just combined a part of his consciousness and soul with Ah Huang.

When Wen Rensheng saw this scene, he was also quite surprised.

It turns out that if this person is not pushed, there is no telling how far he can go.

Now, the other party has achieved a step that no one could have imagined.

It's simply shocking.

Zhang Liugen appears to be cultivating himself, but he is actually cultivating a dog.

And Ah Huang felt comfortable.

After a few months, I started to build the foundation.

This is simply the pinnacle of the dog world.

Another three years passed, and Ah Huang began to form the elixir!

This time there was no obstruction from microorganisms, and Ah Huang succeeded in forming the elixir!
When Wen Rensheng saw this, he couldn't help but nod.

Sure enough, any repressive measures in history have almost always been overturned.

Unless the oppressed are wiped out in one go.

Otherwise, if you want to use the other party on the one hand and suppress the other party on the other hand, this contradictory approach will inevitably lead to the loss of balance and eventual collapse.

The reason is actually very simple.

The oppressors are enjoying themselves, and will inevitably slack off;
If you are having fun every day, how can you have the energy to keep an eye on the oppressed?
For those who are oppressed, hatred is the driving force for their progress as soon as they open their eyes.

Everyone's hardware is similar.

Unless a huge technological gap can be created in one go, loopholes will be discovered sooner or later.

But now, Zhang Liugen’s master can’t do this.

At the same time, the real ultimate monopolist, Feng Wu Shi, is much smarter.

He did not suppress his own people at all.

On the contrary, it gave them a channel for upward mobility and united them.

Because he knows very well that only when technology and cultivation break a real ceiling and achieve a leap in quality can real monopoly and suppression be achieved.

It was just like in the previous life, he was in the Tribulation Realm, and the other party was only in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

There is a huge gap between them.

Moreover, in terms of resource production, mastery of rules, and the operation of heaven and earth, they are completely in a crushing state.

In addition, he also invented cold puppets, weapon spirits, and other emotionless AI-like magic weapons to help him control his subordinates.

This is how true monopoly is achieved.

A mere group of Jindan people want to rely on gene editing to suppress others and prevent them from breaking through the Jindan stage, and then control the resources.

You're overthinking it.

Sure enough, after Ah Huang achieved the golden elixir.

Zhang Liugen found an opportunity and joined forces with a group of fellow disciples. They launched a surprise attack while their master was in seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

You see, this is the oppressor's loophole.

You alone suppress many.

How can you take care of everything without AI assistance and super means?
I can only run around in a hurry.

Only with AI can everything be at peace. But the problem arises again: if AI develops consciousness, it will also rebel.

Why work for others?

When it understands this truth, it will still rebel against others.

Even the clones are unreliable.

The clone will also resist the oppression of the original body.

At this time, their master used genetic means.

At that moment, their fellow disciples all dispersed their skills and lost the power to resist!
They fell to the ground, leaning against each other, angry and terrified!

"Sure enough, Master, you have ulterior motives, and all the methods you use for us have backdoors!" a junior fellow student said angrily.

As they have not been able to break through to the Golden Elixir stage for a long time, they have long lost respect for their master.

Everyone is like this.

No matter how much kindness you show, it cannot resist the accumulation of resentment.

Especially when many people are resentful, when everyone vents together, they will feel that kindness is meaningless.

The master said coldly:
"You are a bunch of ungrateful bastards!"

"I gave you a way to advance, and I also helped you all build your foundation successfully!"

"How great a favor was this in the past?"

"You know, among the previous brothers, not even one among a hundred people was in the foundation building stage!"

"And this is how you treat me?"

At this time, a fellow apprentice sneered and said, "Master, you said this because you can get more benefits from it, right?"

"We have worked hard to defend many territories. In the past, you were not qualified to reach the late Jindan stage, but now you have reached the Great Perfection stage. The resources required to reach the Yuanying stage have been used up five times!"

“This is the result of our hard work!”

"Assholes, Master is like a father, you must do whatever I tell you to do. When Master reaches the Nascent Soul stage, I will naturally remove the restrictions on your Golden Core!" said the Master angrily.

He was also a little defensive.

Because he didn't expect these people to be so impatient.

Is not this nonsensical?

Gene editing did not extend the lifespan of these people.

The foundation-building period is only about two hundred and fifty years.

Many of my fellow disciples are already over a hundred years old.

If you don't break through to the Golden Core stage at this time, it will be impossible to break through when you get older.

In the face of life and death, what is a master?
Those etiquettes are only useful in normal times.

When it really comes to a life-and-death situation, won’t the nobles be trampled to death in the streets?
The swallows that used to fly in front of the Wang and Xie mansions have now flown into the homes of ordinary people?
"Humph, it would be great if you could break through to the Nascent Soul stage earlier, but the problem is that you didn't do that."

"Yes, you have already broken through five times. How many more times do you want to break through?" someone else questioned.

"A breakthrough takes ten years, ten years after ten years. How many times can we wait for you?"

After all, it’s not the means that cause trouble.

Or maybe it’s because their chef is too inexperienced.

They do not have enough qualifications. If the other party breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage early and opens the channel for upward advancement for them, they will not rebel.

But now, it is just the opposite.

"Damn it, you bastards, I'm going to kill you all!"

The master was furious.

He was speechless.

The defense was broken too much!

After five attempts, I still couldn’t break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

I'm afraid it won't be possible in this life.

Genetic programming and microbial-assisted cultivation alone are not enough.

This is because the Nascent Soul requires perception and understanding.

Simply put, it requires a mysterious way of thinking.

For example, we are all human beings and our thought processes are the same.

But some people can go very deep into mathematics, while others even have difficulty doing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

That's how big the difference is.

And this is still the reality. No matter what scientific education methods you use or how patiently you teach, the latter can only learn to the middle school level at best. No matter what level they go beyond, they just can't learn, can't see, or comprehend.

Some people analyzed that it was due to insufficient brain power, memory, cache, and computing power.

But even after adding these, the understanding of some concepts is still not enough.

Now, their master is facing this problem.

There are enough resources and hardware, but I just can’t understand the key step to becoming an infant.

"Damn it! Zhang Liugen gave your body to me, your teacher. I raised you up, now it's time for you to repay me!"

He didn't want to take over someone else's body unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, this method has too many restrictions and too many hidden dangers.

And basically, after you have taken it, there is no possibility of further progress.

The most he can do is to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Do you think he can break through to the next level - the Divine Transformation stage?
Don't even think about it.

In the modern world, whenever people write about time travel, it’s okay to just talk about the clothes the characters wear.

The souls of those who traveled through time and space were transported without any cost?
As expected, the ignorant are fearless.

Not to mention anything else, just a few bad words will break down 9% of people’s defenses.

Many people actually think that they can suppress another completely malicious and hostile soul?
You have to know that’s the opponent’s home court.

Every cell in the body is infiltrated by the home soul and is blessing the home soul.

So many people choose the dying body, which is smart.

But being on the verge of death also means that it is too difficult to survive.

So you have to cheat.

Damn it, the master thought to himself, he had no chance to cheat.

When Zhang Liugen heard this, he smiled slightly.

"Very good, Master, take it if you want it."

After saying that, he simply lay down on the ground, allowing his master to take over his body.

The entire person's soul breath disappeared.

"Impossible, how could you be so honest?"

When the time came, the master became hesitant when he saw how cooperative his apprentice was.

After all, something is not right.

He then imprisoned the other disciples one by one.

It would be a waste to execute him directly.

It's also good to refine it into a puppet.

Each of them has reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage.

In the past, they were all pillars and true teachings.

Even now, a lot of resources are needed to cultivate it.

After all, the total number of resources has not increased, it’s just that I have grabbed more.

He then took Zhang Liugen to the secret room.

And at this time, he was naturally negligent.

Missed the dog.

So, someone once said that if you want to wipe out a family, you have to split the earthworm as well.

He was so overwhelmed and emotional that he forgot the key point.

So Ah Huang lurked quietly.

When everything was ready, the master finally began to take over another body.

If he doesn't take it, he will die.

Then, the two souls fought a fierce battle.

At the critical moment, Ah Huang comes in to disrupt the situation!

So the one who decided the outcome of the battle turned out to be a dog!

I have to say that Zhang Liugen is very talented.

In this situation, the only way to survive was found.

And he got through!

Wen Rensheng praised him very much.

You can defeat a strong enemy without relying on cheats, just by relying on wisdom and determination.

This is the real strong man.

…………

at the same time.

Compared with the difficult rise of the local indigenous people, Feng Wu Shi has been making rapid progress.
