A Sensation Across the World

"Right now, my head is buzzing. Comparing the before and after, the Repair Gene data has indeed doubled."

"This Chaos Art can not only improve physical constitution; Spiritual Power can greatly increase strength and agility. And after breaking through to the Spirit Release Realm First Level, even lifespan can double?"

"I'm losing my mind. I'd been waiting for the limits and side effects of this cultivation method. I waited and waited, but neither the limit nor the side effects came. Instead, a world-shaking major benefit arrived?"

"Holy shit, look at the stock market. Across the entire Milky Way, all pharmaceutical and healthcare stocks are plunging like mad, crashing across the board. Healthcare stocks in particular are being slaughtered in seconds."

"On the other hand, stocks in other sectors have suddenly begun soaring."

"The news that imitating the cultivation of Chaos Art might double humanity's lifespan is an enormously negative development for pharmaceutical and healthcare stocks, but it is major good news for every other industry."

"Huh? Why have cosmetics industry stocks suddenly started plummeting too?"

"That's because you didn't notice that after breaking through to the Spirit Release Realm First Level, Yi Chen's skin saw enormous improvements in all its indicators as well. In other words, his skin has improved tremendously. I noticed it earlier, but I didn't have time to mention it."

"Today, the stock markets and investors across the entire Milky Way are probably all going to go mad!"

"Not just those investors—all humanity will go mad. If there are no side effects, it means imitating the cultivation of Chaos Art can double one's lifespan!"

"I kneel in worship! A peerless genius from an Exile Planet, stripped of his rights for life, might actually cause the lifespan of all humanity to skyrocket twofold!"

The Live Stream Room erupted like a boiling cauldron.

Countless viewers flooded into the Live Stream Room upon hearing the news.

One million, ten million, one hundred million, one billion...

All humanity had not encountered such a world-shaking, explosive piece of news in over a hundred years.

The last piece of news that had caused such a sensation was more than a century ago, when the governor of A2685 Planet, with the support and incitement of the Ghost Race, declared independence and turned it into a planet under an Imperial System.

But compared to the possibility of humanity doubling its lifespan, that news was utterly insignificant.

The entire Milky Way, all humanity, plunged into a frenzy.

At the Human Race's current level of technology, lifespan was an untouchable taboo among the laws of the universe.

For thousands of years, generation after generation of top biologists and researchers had poured out their heart and soul, yet they had never managed to achieve a breakthrough in lifespan.

No one had expected that a genius from an Exile Planet, whose ancestors had committed grave crimes and who had thus been stripped of all rights as well—

would actually blaze a new trail and achieve a major breakthrough in just a single month.

The Greatest Lie in History—Chaos Art Can Double Lifespan!

<Breaking Through to the Spirit Release Realm Will Surely Bring Terrifying Side Effects. A Doubled Lifespan Is Very Likely Bait Before the Arrival of Fatal Side Effects!>

<We Advise Everyone: Before the Limits and Side Effects of This Cultivation Method Have Been Confirmed, Do Not Imitate Yi Chen's Cultivation of Chaos Art!>

<Lifespan Is One of the Flaws the laws of the universe have bestowed upon the Human Race. Just as each of the Myriad Races has its own flaws, no one can break the laws of the universe.>

Very soon, all the major news outlets released all kinds of front-page headlines.

Every article targeted the Chaos Art created by Yi Chen, painting the doubled lifespan limit after breaking through to the Spirit Release Realm in a negative light.

Even so, they could not stop vast numbers of people from beginning to study and attempt to cultivate Chaos Art.

Across the Milky Way's stock markets, pharmaceutical, healthcare, and cosmetics stocks were still plunging irreversibly into an abyss.

Even when those pharmaceutical, healthcare, and cosmetics giants brought in thousands or tens of thousands of top scholars and experts from every field, they could not reverse the decline.

Doubling the upper limit of lifespan was simply too tempting.

Even if there truly were fatal side effects, huge numbers of people were still willing to risk trying it.

Originally, there had been very few people secretly studying and imitating Yi Chen's cultivation of Chaos Art.

Only talented individuals who cultivated quickly and suffered all kinds of hardships in life, like the newly risen basketball star Jiang He, dared to take the risk.

But now, that proportion had surged by at least a hundred thousand times.

And it was still rising.

Inside the Wooden House.

After spending more than twenty days breaking through to the Spirit Release Realm, Yi Chen, the ultimate shut-in, spent another three days finally improving Chaos Art into something suitable for cultivation in the Spirit Release Realm.

After cultivating the improved version of Chaos Art for another half day, he finally stabilized his realm.

"Just as I thought. I knew those expert scholars were talking bullshit, saying the Spirit Release Realm First Level was already the limit and Yi Chen could no longer improve. Yet after only a few days, hasn't he begun cultivating again?"

"Haven't you noticed a very serious problem? Yi Chen seems to have improved Chaos Art to the point where it is suitable for Spirit Release Realm cultivation."

"You can tell from the way Spiritual Power flows through the meridians. Compared to before, the improved Chaos Art follows the same general direction, but it has added an Acupoint, and its route through the meridians has also been slightly adjusted."

"Like the Flying Knife Art, we can obtain the circulation diagram through the Scanner."

"But the cultivation methods created by Yi Chen have not only circulation diagrams, but also cultivation mnemonics. The two complement each other; neither can be missing."

"For the improved Chaos Art, we can only obtain the circulation diagram, not the cultivation mnemonic."

"If Yi Chen does not release the cultivation mnemonic for the improved Chaos Art, then once we break through to the Spirit Release Realm, we will be unable to learn the improved Chaos Art, and our realms will be unable to advance any further."

"My god, that really is the case?"

"We don't know where the upper limit of the cultivation method Yi Chen created lies. But if we cannot learn the improved Chaos Art, doesn't that mean our own limit will only be the Spirit Release Realm First Level?"

The viewers in the Live Stream Room began to panic.

Being unable to learn the Flying Knife Art only left most people, aside from some dart enthusiasts, feeling itchy with frustration.

But being unable to learn the improved Chaos Art was unbearably painful.

Just thinking about it made their hearts itch uncontrollably, as though hundreds or thousands of ants were crawling over them.

"Huh, look at the news. All the major news websites have rolled out new front-page headlines."

"My god, this really is like a pillow arriving just when you're sleepy. We were just worrying that after breaking through to the Spirit Release Realm, if Yi Chen didn't record the mnemonic for the improved Chaos Art, none of us would be able to learn it."

"This Billion Medicines Group has announced that it will organize researchers and hire those geniuses at high salaries to jointly research and create a cultivation method even better than the improved Chaos Art."

"The Billion Medicines Group is the largest pharmaceutical group in the entire Milky Way, with formidable research capabilities. If it makes a move, we won't have to worry about having no cultivation method to learn."

"That's right. Yi Chen is merely the founder of this cultivation method, not the trailblazing leader and Pioneer at the forefront. He is only one person—how can he compare to massive funds, equipment and supplies, and the combined wisdom of countless researchers and geniuses?"

The announcement from the Billion Medicines Group immediately put the public at ease.

According to the Billion Medicines Group's announcement, if they developed a better cultivation method, they would release it for free at the first opportunity.

Thanks to that announcement, not only did the Billion Medicines Group's stock, which had been cut in half, begin to stabilize and rise, but the stock prices of other pharmaceutical groups began stabilizing as well.
