Basket Star Type and Undying Cells

Li Nai'an's figure appeared and disappeared deep within the Ten-Thousand-Blade Mountain Range.

This area is shrouded in snow and wind year-round, with temperatures dropping as low as minus eighty degrees Celsius.

At this temperature, Yellow Realm Awakener without any warm clothing would die instantly within two or three minutes.

Those who have awakened in the Profound Realm need to wear thick, warm clothing if they want to stay longer.

Only those above the Earth Realm can freely traverse the snow and wind here, ignoring the local conditions.

Fine ice crystals danced in the wind, swirling towards the rapidly moving Li Nai'an, yet they couldn't even scratch her exposed skin.

The vast expanse of white snow completely concealed her figure, making her movements even more mysterious.

Li Nai'an was lucky today; she found a snow bear that was out foraging for food in just a short while.

She stopped in the distance, and the thorns in her hand grew rapidly, then plunged into the ground.

The next moment, thorns burst forth from the ground directly beneath the snow bear!

"Pfft!"

The snow bear's massive body was pierced through in an instant.

The thorns piercing the prey begin to absorb its blood.

A snow bear that was over three meters tall quickly shrank.

Thorns sprouted from the bushes, and crimson double-petaled lotuses bloomed in profusion.

A moment later, Li Nai'an's Psychic Energy recovered slightly.

She continued walking deeper into the mountains.

Meanwhile, the researchers from the Demon Race 'Ten-Thousand-Blade Mountain Range Laboratory have returned to the research base with specially made body bags.

The researchers responsible for studying Miao Xingyu rushed to the research lab in the core area as soon as they arrived.

As for the Eagle Hound, he was merely an assistant to the Undying Legion members in bringing back the experimental subjects.

Naturally, they were not qualified to go to the core area.

"Drop!"

The metal door separating the outer and core areas recognized the irises of the large project team members and opened accordingly.

The group quickly entered, and then the door slammed shut.

Next, there are two more protective doors like this.

Two minutes later, they returned to their group's Laboratory.

That's right. As members of a large project team, they are able to be assigned to independent Laboratories based on the research topics they form within their research groups.

This alone is enough to illustrate the disparity in treatment between them and ordinary researchers.

The researchers wasted no time.

Upon entering the Laboratory, the body bag was placed on the central dissection table.

The long zipper on the bag was unzipped.

The "corpse" that came into view was completely intact, as if it had never suffered any harm.

The moment the bag was removed, Miao Xingyu's skin began to tremble slowly.

A few seconds later, he woke up.

Lying on the familiar, cold table, Miao Xingyu's previously hazy consciousness suddenly cleared.

An instinctive fear descended upon his brain, causing his body to twitch slightly and uncontrollably.

His entire body was covered in bristling hair; he wanted to scream in terror, but he remained frozen, unable to move an inch.

The researchers immediately noticed his condition.

"Give him a sedative injection first."

"Good."

His tone was calm, as if the creature in front of him was just an ordinary white mouse used in experiments.

At this moment, Miao Xingyu realized that no matter how far she had run, she still hadn't escaped the confines of the Laboratory.

The researchers didn't care what he was thinking.

They handle far too many test subjects every day to bother with these trivial matters.

"First, conduct a routine physical examination, then extract Undying Cells, Psychic Energy, and Soul Energy, and compare them with the old sample."

Research into Miao Xingyu is in full swing.

Not far from the Laboratory in the Ten-Thousand-Blade Mountain Range, a castle also stands amidst the swirling snow.

That was the residence of the Demon Race Clan's Heaven-Controlling Realm.

"Knock knock knock."

A knock came at the door of the lounge next to the private library inside the castle.

The Demon Race Heaven-Controlling Realm held a thick book, flipping through it casually, and said, "Enter."

The door was then slowly pushed open.

The visitor was a Demon Race.

She bowed respectfully and reported, "Sir, the experimental subject [Nine Lives Cat] has been retrieved."

"We are currently evaluating its various data points, and we will provide you with the evaluation results shortly."

"Hmm," the Demon Race 'Heaven-Controlling Realm without looking up, "Go down."

He sighed after the maid left.

"Sigh, I was hoping that releasing him would help him grow faster under the pressure of the wild environment."

I just didn't expect that Miao Xingyu would be so unlucky.

He died three times on his way to the Kaiyang Continent alone.

Moreover, almost every time, the injuries were so severe that they nearly burned away all of his cultivation.

"At this rate, it's unclear how long we'll have to wait to develop a method based on the [Nine Lives Cat] to guarantee the immortality of the soul."

The Demon Race 'Heaven-Controlling Realm complained, but his expression remained remarkably calm.

That calm was exactly the same as the calm of the researchers in the Laboratory.

Beneath that calm lies a relentless pursuit of the question of "immortality," a frenzied attempt to defy birth, aging, sickness, and death.

The Demon Race 'Heaven-Controlling Realm read for a while longer until a "beep beep beep" notification sound suddenly rang out from somewhere in the rest room.

He closed the heavy book with one hand, revealing the book cover that had been hidden in the shadows.

Data Record of the Undying Cells Transplantation Experiment with Basket Star Type *

Those were the experimental data records of transplanting Undying Cells into other organisms.

The Demon Race Heaven-Controlling Realm took the book, got up, and walked to a corner of the lounge.

Raise your hand and gently press a hidden pattern on the wall.

Psychic Energy was injected, a door cracked open in the wall of the lounge, revealing a spacious Laboratory behind it.

There are many more of these enclosed Laboratories inside the castle.

Their entrances are scattered, but they are actually all concentrated in the central area of the castle.

Therefore, the Laboratories are interconnected.

As he entered the Laboratory, the door that had been hidden in the wall slammed shut, as if isolating the entire world from the outside.

He walked straight to the lab bench with practiced ease.

There, an encrypted communicator quietly awaited his arrival.

On the communicator's screen, rows of densely packed data flashed, which represented Miao Xingyu's current physical condition.

The Demon Race 'Heaven-Controlling Realm expert's gaze was fixed on these data, his expression revealing no emotional fluctuation.

After a while, he quickly tapped the communicator and issued a short command.

"Have them bring the test subjects here."

After issuing the command, he ignored the communicator.

He turned and walked to the other side of the lab bench, where various experimental materials and instruments were arranged.

He began to prepare for the next experiment in a methodical manner.

Just as the Demon Race's Heaven-Controlling Realm was focused on preparing experimental materials, something surprising happened.

Suddenly, some strange, tree-like tentacles emerged from behind him. These tentacles seemed to be alive, swaying slightly in the air.

The Demon Race's Heaven-Controlling Realm seemed accustomed to these tentacles.

No, rather, he controlled the appearance of these tentacles.

With a gentle snap, one of the larger tentacles broke off.

The severed tentacle was unusually docile at this moment, looking just like an ordinary tree branch.

But in reality, it is composed of cells from the body of the Demon Race Heaven-Controlling Realm, and it is also the prototype of the Undying Cells he studied.

Beside me is a thick book of experimental records.

This record details the process and results of his various experiments using himself as the subject.

Every page is densely filled with data and analysis, a testament to his countless attempts and failures.
