Psionic Power Awakens, Technique Method Tao

A cultured person doesn't need to fight and kill—any problem that can be solved through 'trade' isn't a problem at all.

If he didn't do it this way, how long would it take to find the "Red Light Virus Progenitor" in just one month?

How long would it take to infiltrate the military base and steal the "Red Light Virus Progenitor"?

And how would he withstand the relentless pursuit of a frenzied America afterward?

Would he expose "Psychic" mind control and go head-to-head with the 'Instance · Raging Sea and Surging Waves'?

If it really came to that, forget about researching the virus, completing his shortcomings, or seizing wisdom—whether he could even survive would be the question.

The Blue Star Civilization would never allow a 'monster' capable of manipulating minds, personalities, and spirits to live under the same sky as them.

Raging Sea and Surging Waves + Winter's Wrath + Great Wall Watch + The Iron Tower Still Stands + Oliver Twist—soloing all five instances by himself was a chilling thought just to imagine.

A meal must be eaten bite by bite; matters must be handled step by step.

If eating three buns makes you full, you can't just skip the first and second and go straight to the third, can you?

Meng Yi admitted he was tempted by the technology of the Three-Body Universe, and also by Firefly's Interstellar Civilization gene modification.

The former was a long-term plan—Luo Ji's current 'rank' was still too low.

As for the latter, Meng Yi needed to first gain a certain degree of self-preservation ability to avoid Firefly suddenly turning violent.

Set a small goal first: obtain Cellular-Level Immortality comparable to "Black Light Virus · Alex."

Further up, the Otsutsuki Clan's individual information integration compression package "Karma," and Holy Keisha's 'Atomic-Level Immortality' were too distant. Beyond that, the C'tan Star Gods' 'Rule-Level Immortality' was even more out of reach.

'Blood Rebirth' rank was enough to handle the early stages—why ask for more?

Building his own 'Divine Ascension Ladder' step by step based on the "Longevity Gene Type 1," and exploring the limits of evolution—that was the real goal.

In the sterile laboratory, Meng Yi was ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to himself.

'Wolf Man' didn't even qualify; 'Wolf Fire' fell short compared to him; you'd have to use 'Wolf Destroyer' to describe him.

Because he would never expose his most vulnerable self to others, he had no one to help him.

He used his highest authority to lock down the lab.

Without using medical anesthesia, he lay directly on the test table, jabbed a syringe into the vein in his neck, and injected the red-and-green spiral virus.

Meng Yi's forehead veins bulged, his eyes seemed about to pop out of their sockets, and he grinned widely as he laughed.

"Hahahahaha! Is this all there is to it?"

"This is nothing compared to the backlash of the 'Psychic'!"

Psychic energy enveloped his entire body. The DNA helix of the Warhammer human race snapped and fractured, embedding the viral gene fragments of the "Longevity Gene Type 1."

The first cell's transformation was complete. What followed was the repetitive work of replication, assimilation, and spread.

Enduring the excruciating pain of rejection reactions with an iron will, Meng Yi multitasked, leveraging his fundamental "Psychic" power to attempt opening more branches through gene modification.

[Prompt: C+-Grade "Mind System · Psychic" resonates with "Longevity Gene Type 1 · Original Version." "Biochemical System · Psychic" has been opened.]

On the level of consciousness and thought within the sea of consciousness, a luminous tree sprouted a brand-new 'branch.' It was very weak, yet thriving and full of vitality, as if containing infinite possibilities.

The directions of the "Psychic" system's interference with the Material Realm are usually divided into: Biochemical System, Energy System, Telekinetic System, Mind System, and Divination System.

It wasn't that stepping onto one "Psychic" branch precluded merging with other paths. Top-tier Psychic users in the Warhammer world (S/Alpha+-Grade) could generally control four, or even all, of the Psychic classifications simultaneously.

Lacking the "Astartes Monk" modification technology of the Galactic Human Empire, he used his self-developed gene modification surgery as the catalyst to touch the "Biochemical System · Psychic" branch.

Opening a brand-new "Psychic" classification + gene modification consumed far more time than Wesker's clone or Alicia Marcus's virus fusion.

After enduring a full two days and two nights, the blood seeping from his pores formed a thick crust of scabs over Meng Yi's body.

Thankfully, he sensed something was wrong halfway through and, enduring the intense pain, hooked himself up to a nutrient solution; otherwise, the residual energy in his body wouldn't have been enough to complete the gene modification.

Crack—crack—

The blood scabs shattered as Meng Yi raised his hand and pulled free the hanging IV needle.

The life limit caused by years of malnutrition, radiation, and contamination had vanished without a trace after the Gene Modification, leaving only an imbalance between 'Spirit' and 'Body.'

The Tao Te Ching by Laozi, the founding patriarch of Daoism, once outlined the classification of 'Vessel, Technique, Method, and Dao.'

Vessel is easy to understand—the tools of self-protection.

Technique refers to skills that keep the Cultivation Path unobstructed; one may dabble in them, but they shouldn't consume too much energy.

Method is the established system, the way of cultivation.

At the very top, 'Dao' is the goal, the direction, the philosophy.

Meng Yi was clear-headed and knew exactly what he needed—he wouldn't abandon the root for the branch.

Climbing to the end of 'evolution' is the Dao; the main 'Psionic Power' system is the Method; everything else can only be classified at the level of Technique.

He glanced at the vast majority of abilities granted by the 'Longevity Gene Type 1 Original Version' and then paid them no further mind. This was merely a transition, far from the Final Harvest of the Selection Dungeon.

Only one third of the month had passed.

The Umbrella Corporation still had the 'Ouroboros Virus' left to unearth, and the yet-to-be-delivered 'Red Light Virus Progenitor: Elizabeth Greene' was the true 'Gift Package.'
