Liberation of Essence
The long-dormant Qi underground surged, and obscure Runes emerged from the invisible space, as if rising from the water. Golden light swirled around them, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly flowed into Su Luo's body through her seven orifices and meridians, beginning to cleanse her mortal body and bones.
However, Su Luo had already completely transformed her body and soul, so the entire process was only symbolically gone through once, and she quickly moved on to the next step.
A profound power emerged from the golden Runes, entered Su Luo's body, and began to transform her.
Su Luo stared intently.
"There are still indications of Unsealing, but only in part."
About ten minutes later, something appeared inside Su Luo's body.
Hibernation deep within the dantian, shaped like a translucent jade pistil, its entire body a clear, frosty white, as if formed from condensed moonlight, its texture flowing with a faint silver glow, its patterns like flowing clouds and entwined silk, delicate and seamless.
Rooted in the flesh and blood, its fine and lustrous veins extend outwards along the tendons and bones, embedding themselves seamlessly into the muscles and flesh.
Within the sea of consciousness, a phantom Spiritual Root of the same form and origin emerged, its color leaning more towards the cold jade light, its shape identical to the original dantian, like two images of the same origin in a mirror.
With an additional organ in her body, affecting both her physical body and soul, Su Luo felt that if she didn't have extremely high control over her consciousness, she would also be affected by this organ.
"This is... Spiritual Root for cultivating immortality, right? My stomach is almost full."
Spiritual Roots have a physical form, and the lower abdomen has an extra organ. The muscles adapt automatically, so female cultivators with Spiritual Roots mostly have octopus bellies, while male cultivators with Spiritual Roots have more defined abdominal muscles.
Spiritual Root roots naturally help gather surrounding Qi and adjust cultivation paths, which macroscopically manifests as faster cultivation; the higher the quality of the Spiritual Root, the faster the cultivation. This is useless for an old monster from another world like Su Luo who has to rebuild his cultivation, but it is extremely useful for ordinary cultivators.
Su Luo was very interested in the manufacturing technology behind it.
At the same time, Su Luo's vision blurred, and she vaguely saw something.
In a space where mist condenses and the Daoist spirit is naturally present, a pure white jade platform sits, its entire body simple and clean, its edges and corners regular, exuding a sense of profound weight.
Further up, there Secret Realm a serene and mysterious realm shrouded in purple mist. The mist swirls and rises, the purple aura is soft and gentle, and the interior is vast and clear, boundless and boundless, with hazy light and shadow, forming a secluded and ethereal domain.
There was also a perfectly round, flawless purple-gold bead, translucent inside and out, with a Convergence flowing luster, perfectly round and without a single flaw, floating Jingjing, possessing a harmonious and complete Daoist posture.
Foundation Establishment, Violet Palace, Golden Core.
Seeing these things means that Su Luo has been incorporated into the cultivation system of this world, making cultivation much easier.
With the system's recognition and support, Qi will automatically converge towards him, bottlenecks will thin out, and the comprehension of realms will become easier.
Perhaps this is the real step in rebuilding, rather than the brute-force stacking of values that Su Luo did before.
"This is the Body Refining of this world; it still has many merits."
Su Luo affirmed the feasibility of the route.
"It's somewhat similar to the Golden Core for survival, but its potential isn't as high, and its strength isn't as great."
Finally, Su Luo vaguely sensed that the membrane separating appearance from Essence was slightly broken, and something was pouring out.
The liberation of Essence!
A faint black flame appeared in the spiritual world, a silver-white book floated in the air, and an hourglass the size of a palm landed in Su Luo's hand.
"Is this the release of Essence?" Su Luo waited silently for another two minutes.
"Damn it! Where's my Mana?!"
After some trial and error, Su Luo discovered that she could also use the Purple Skill [Storage Conversion].
Four items, that's acceptable.
"Not four items."
A sound came from the air. Su Luo frowned, swept her Divine Power, and forced out a tiny figure from mid-air.
It was Yun Xiaoxiao, her Nanorobots scattered throughout the air.
"Jiang Jiang! I'm fucking here!"
"Oh my god, it's you? Are you here to waste my World Influence?" Su Luo sighed.
Damn, how come Yun Xiaoxiao is considered one of his Essences?
If followers are considered the Essence of Large Dungeons, it would be better to let Zuo Guxian appear, as he could peek into the microcosm.
"What are you saying?! What are you saying?!" Yun Xiaoxiao was displeased, and the Nanorobots formed an angry emoji in the air.
"Literal meaning."
Su Luo quickly began to familiarize herself with the Essence of unlocking.
The Heartfire settled firmly in the spiritual world, and even began to scorch the newly installed Spiritual Root.
The antivirus software started disinfecting. Su Luo quickly told it to stop to avoid damaging her Spiritual Root and hindering her path to immortality.
"So it wasn't fully unlocked after all. It only unlocked something like a seed, and the items are only limited to the power of Perfect quality."
Su Luo tested it and found that the computing power and amplification effect of [Genli Zhi Mo] had been greatly reduced, and it was limited to the Perfect quality. The three regular effects and four additional effects were still there, but the values had been cut to the level of a Perfect item.
"That's true. If the Essence of unlocking is the full-fledged form, then by the time the Qi Awakening Ritual starts this morning, Golden Core Dao Lords would have died by this afternoon."
The other item is the [Spacetime Hourglass], which Su Luo considers to be a "Pseudo-Epic" quality item. It was obtained before entering Large Dungeon and hasn't been used yet.
After familiarizing herself with [Storage Conversion] again, Su Luo felt she could discard her physical body and directly convert it into energy once more.
Unfortunately, there is no Source Essence; the main energy source at present is Qi.
"Go build a fusion reactor, and then construct the framework for a temporary vehicle. I'll send you the blueprints and engineering data later."
Su Luo picked up the [Genli Zhi Mo], attached a bunch of spiritual avatars and cultivation industry-related calculation data to it, then grabbed Yun Xiaoxiao and used the third effect [Knowledge Infusion] to temporarily infuse her with some basic knowledge of cultivation.
This kind of Knowledge Infusion is very different from simply stuffing knowledge into the brain. After all, it is indoctrination of knowledge that Su Luo has already learned and applied in the form of "insight". It is knowledge that Su Luo has internalized. Its Essence is Su Luo's subjective understanding plus the cold knowledge itself. Too much indoctrination is not good.
Su Luo suspected that if knowledge were poured into a living being for a long period of time, it would change the creature's thinking, making it more inclined to follow Su Luo and become Su Luo's follower or Vassal.
It sounds a bit the Unspeakable...
"Did you remember?" Su Luo put away her Genli Zhi Mo and looked at Yun Xiaoxiao.
There are many advantages to Yun Xiaoxiao's emergence. Taking the Technology Side route no longer requires Su Luo to manually develop things step by step, as she inherently possesses some of the processing capabilities of the late Information Age.
Originally, Su Luo didn't plan to pursue Industrialization this time, as the timeframe was too short.
To truly change the world, we need technological engineering, mass production of engineering, Industrialization of mass production, industrialization of industry, and industrial ecology...
"Damn it, I just got out and you're already making me work?!"
Yun Xiaoxiao was shocked. She had just been released and immediately filled with knowledge, and then she was dragged to work without stopping.
Damn, she looked just like this when she first arrived in the Land of Darkness. The Scholar really hasn't changed at all!
