Level 4 Lifeform
In the Northern Heavenly Mountain, snow falls in all four seasons.
However, it is precisely because of this environment that this place has become a well-known tourist destination, attracting tourists from home and abroad every day.
Down the mountain, Su Yuan, carrying Black Gun Case on his back, looked up at the snow-covered Heavenly Mountain.
"Deep in the Heavenly Mountain, in a certain place, eight hours later, Yin will transform into Yang. I will use that environment to finally comprehend the <Extreme Yang 36 Forms>."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
The "Extreme Yang 36 Forms" here is the same "Nameless 36 Spears" given by the Grey Mirror, a spear technique used to comprehend the Extreme Yang Power.
After practicing for a period of time, Su Yuan felt that calling this spear technique "Nameless Spear Technique" was too simplistic, so he named it "Extreme Yang 36 Forms".
"Call!"
Su Yuan looked at the Grey Mirror from the depths of his consciousness.
[Da Cheng (99%)]
[If a cathodic-to-anode environment is utilized, the process can be completed in one hour.]
[If one cultivates independently without external assistance, one can achieve perfection in half a month.]
The Gray Mirror churned and shifted, offering a series of replies.
After half a year of practice, Su Yuan's <Extreme Yang 36 Forms> has come very close to perfection.
If everything goes smoothly, I can reach the state of perfection today and then begin to comprehend the Extreme Yang Power.
"A place where yin transforms into yang."
Su Yuan's gaze remained calm.
This special environment is extremely rare, similar to a solar eclipse, and only occurs once every many years.
The most recent cathodic-positive environment appeared eight hours later in a place deep in the Heavenly Mountain.
Cultivating in the yin-yang environment deep in the Heavenly Mountain was part of the plan that the Grey Mirror devised for Su Yuan to cultivate the <Extreme Yang 36 Forms>.
Not only can it save half a month of time, but more importantly, this environment can help Su Yuan comprehend the later <Extreme Yin 36 Forms> more easily.
The "Extreme Yang 36 Forms" and the "Extreme Yin 36 Forms" correspond to the Extreme Yang Power and the Extreme Yin Power, respectively. They are related to the two fundamental principles of Supreme Yang and Supreme Yin in the Sacred Art "Yin- Yin-Yang Dharma Robe".
In the past six months, Su Yuan has been nearing completion of the "Extreme Yang 36 Forms".
In terms of cultivation, he even reached the level of Level 4 Lifeform more than ten days ago.
In Su Yuan's original cultivation plan, it would only take a little over eight months to go from Level 3 Lifeform to Level 4 Lifeform.
After bathing in dragon blood, his cultivation speed increased, allowing him to complete the journey in just over seven months.
Becoming Level 4 Lifeform was something Su Yuan had anticipated.
Becoming Level 4 Lifeform also resulted in an exceptionally significant increase in Su Yuan's strength.
The six-dimensional attributes, including physical body, soul, and will, have increased three to five times compared to the Level 3 Lifeform stage.
Don't underestimate these three to five times; this is just the improvement in basic attributes. Su Yuan's overall strength is more than ten times stronger than when he was Level 3 Lifeform.
"It's a pity, I felt I was just a little short of being able to fly."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
The ability to fly is a skill possessed by Level 5 Lifeform.
The essence of this ability is that one's own life magnetic field is strong enough to counteract the gravity of a planet.
Thus, the two reach a balance, achieving the purpose of flight.
This method of flight is completely different from that of birds.
Birds fly by vibrating the air with their wings; they fly by using the air.
However, the flight of Level 5 Lifeform involves controlling its own life magnetic field.
The latter is true flight, applicable to any environment, even on planets without air, it can easily take off.
Su Yuan cultivated the Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method, resulting in a robust and powerful life essence. Therefore, as soon as he transformed into Level 4 Lifeform, his own life magnetic field subtly reached the level of counteracting the planet's gravity.
Given this level of life essence, even if one doesn't master the ability to fly upon reaching level 4, continuing to cultivate for another half a month or a month should be enough.
It uses its own life magnetic field to counteract the magnetic field of Blue Star.
"Flying"
Su Yuan's thoughts were in turmoil. He felt a greater sense of accomplishment and security than flying with the help of technology and through the evolution of his own life.
After becoming Level 4 Lifeform, Su Yuan's subsequent cultivation plan was much longer than when he was Level 3 Lifeform.
It takes seventy training sessions, one every six days, for a total of four hundred and twenty days, to reach the Level 5 Lifeform stage.
Four hundred and twenty days, almost a year and a half has passed. This is based on the fact that Su Yuan experienced the Dragon Blood Bath, which raised the upper limit of his cultivation speed. Otherwise, it would have taken even longer.
"A year and a half it is."
Su Yuan collected his thoughts. Compared to his current lifespan of over five thousand years, what was a year and a half?
Indeed, upon entering the Level 4 Lifeform stage, Su Yuan's lifespan surged to 5,800 years, nearly doubling the 3,000-year lifespan of Level 3 Lifeform.
"Speaking of which, I seem to have a special connection with the Heavenly Mountain."
Su Yuan thought to himself that the Tianshan Snow Lotus he had planned to obtain before becoming Level 1 Lifeform came from this place.
That 500-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus helped Su Yuan complete the optimal evolution from Level 0 Lifeform to Level 1 Lifeform.
"Walk."
Su Yuan immediately followed the mountain path and strode away.
On the mountainside, two figures, completely wrapped up, were panting heavily.
"No, no, we'll run out of oxygen if we go any higher."
One of the figures couldn't help but say, looking at her best friend, "Xiao Qing, let's go down now."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing hesitated slightly. "But we were so close to breaking our previous climbing record."
"The weather was pretty good last time I climbed, but this time I felt something was off."
The figure who spoke first frowned and said that the temperature outside was much lower than last time.
Xiao Qing thought for a moment, about to speak, when she suddenly glanced down and exclaimed in surprise, "Wenwen, look there!"
Wenwen looked down.
A man carrying Black Gun Case was seen striding towards them.
"Why is he dressed so lightly?" Wenwen immediately noticed the problem. Compared to the two of them who were wrapped up tightly, the other person was dressed far too lightly.
"And the speed too..." Wenwen's eyes widened.
From the moment they saw Su Yuan, only about twenty seconds had passed, and he was already almost behind them.
Xiao Qing was also terrified and stood rooted to the spot, too scared to move.
It wasn't until Su Yuan walked past them that the two realized he had no interest in them whatsoever.
Wenwen hesitated for a moment, watching Su Yuan's retreating figure, and finally couldn't help but call out, "The weather's not right today; it might be dangerous to go any further."
"Is it dangerous?"
Su Yuan paused for a moment.
With his current strength, there are very few places on Blue Star that can pose even the slightest threat to him, and Heavenly Mountain is definitely not among them.
Su Yuan glanced at the two people behind him.
The Gray Mirror deep within their consciousness churned and rippled, revealing the entire trajectory of these two individuals from birth to death.
[Zhao Wenwen, 19 years old, a junior at Imperial Capital University, died in a localized avalanche thirty minutes later.]
Qin Qing, 19 years old, a junior at Imperial Capital University, died in a localized avalanche thirty minutes later.
Su Yuan glanced at them and immediately learned a great deal about the two.
Next, Qin Qing begged Zhao Wenwen to continue climbing and break the previous climbing record, but they encountered a local avalanche and both of them died.
Su Yuan ignored the two and continued towards his destination.
Zhao Wenwen and Qin Qing only breathed a sigh of relief after Su Yuan's figure disappeared.
"What a weirdo."
Qin Qing shook her head.
"Xiao Qing, let's go downstairs."
Zhao Wenwen thought for a moment and then said seriously.
For some reason, Su Yuan's casual glance at her from his high vantage point sent a chill down Zhao Wenwen's spine.
At that moment, all she wanted was to get back down the mountain immediately.
"Go down," Qin Qing said, nodding in agreement when she saw Zhao Wenwen's serious expression.
At the same time.
Su Yuan also learned through the Grey Mirror that Zhao Wenwen and Qin Qing's inevitable death had been changed.
"At least you know when to advance and retreat."
Su Yuan thought to himself that his last glance back actually had a slight deterrent effect.
If Zhao Wenwen hadn't taken it to heart and had still agreed to climb with Qin Qing, the inevitable result would have been that they both died in the avalanche.
"The fate of all beings can be changed at will."
Su Yuan remained calm. His indirect alteration of their fates was entirely accidental; he wouldn't have even glanced back if Zhao Wenwen hadn't reminded him.
The Heavenly Mountain stretch endlessly.
Two hours later.
Su Yuan finally arrived at his destination.
This refers to a special environment where a cathode will transform into a yang.
This is a snow-covered valley with extremely low temperatures, approaching minus sixty degrees Celsius.
The snowflakes fell, but were evaporated as soon as they approached within a few feet of Su Yuan.
"Come out, what are you hiding for?"
Su Yuan smiled slightly and spoke.
A sharp screech rang out, and Snow Ferret several meters in size appeared out of thin air at the top of the valley.
The Snow Ferret eyed Su Yuan warily, emitting threatening hisses.
Su Yuan watched the Snow Ferret with great interest.
Within the Great Xia territory, there are two Level 3 Exotic Beasts, one in the Kunlun Mountain and the other in the Heavenly Mountain.
That's the Snow Ferret in the distance.
The Grey Mirror revealed the location of that special environment where yin could turn into yang, which was the lair of the Snow Ferret in the distance.
"As expected of a beast, its senses are quite sharp."
Su Yuan smiled as he looked at the Snow Ferret that dared not approach.
At this moment, he concealed most of his aura, displaying only the life fluctuations of a level 1 or Level 2 Lifeform.
In this situation, the Snow Ferret still wouldn't dare to take the initiative; it could only wait for the other party to notice something.
It's not accurate to say that he sensed anything; Su Yuan's method of concealing his aura came from the Grey Mirror, and no life form on Blue Star has yet been able to see through it.
The reason this level 3 Snow Ferret dared not approach was probably because it instinctively sensed danger.
This has nothing to do with strength or skill; it relies entirely on instinct and intuition.
Compared to human cultivators, the evolving beasts have a distinct advantage in terms of instinct and spiritual perception.
"Since you're not going to make a move, then I'll enter your lair."
Su Yuan smiled slightly and strode into the valley.
Squeak! Upon seeing this, the Snow Ferret was so frightened that it immediately retreated.
In its perception, the man before it didn't seem to have a strong aura, but it still felt very dangerous.
Not strong.
It's very dangerous.
These two diametrically opposed perceptions made the Snow Ferret extremely uncomfortable.
And they dared not make any rash moves.
"Squeak."
The Snow Ferret squeaked as it watched Su Yuan enter its lair.
He then stealthily approached the observer Su Yuan.
Inside the valley, Su Yuan sat in the center, quietly waiting for the Yin to transform into Yang environment to appear.
As for the Snow Ferret that was hiding outside the valley and secretly observing him, Su Yuan had naturally noticed it long ago.
The reason he didn't attack the Snow Ferret was because Su Yuan knew through the Grey Mirror that the Snow Ferret would only stop at observing.
In other words, the Snow Ferret cannot attack Su Yuan, even if Su Yuan takes over its nest.
Under these circumstances, Su Yuan naturally didn't bother with this Level 3 Exotic Beast.
In fact, compared to other ferocious beasts within the Great Xia territory, this Level 3 Exotic Beast on Heavenly Mountain is definitely harmless.
Because Snow Ferret have almost never harmed humans.
On the contrary, they have rescued people who were lost in the snow-capped mountains on several occasions.
Moreover, this Level 3 Exotic Beast was extremely low-key and shy, so low-key that even the Xia Kingdom did not know that a Level 3 Exotic Beast was hidden in the Northern Heavenly Mountain.
Otherwise, the Heavenly Mountain wouldn't have been opened to the public as a tourist attraction for domestic and international visitors to climb.
It's important to understand that even the Southern Frontier Hundred Thousand Mountains, which only have some level 1 exotic beasts, are listed as a restricted area. How much more so the Heavenly Mountain, which have Level 3 Exotic Beast like the Snow Ferret?
If Su Yuan hadn't taken over its den this time, making it extremely reluctant to leave, the Snow Ferret would probably have run away long ago.
Su Yuan sat cross-legged in the middle of the valley, and while waiting, the details of the Extreme Yang 36 Forms kept flashing through his mind.
Time passed.
Su Yuan sat there from evening until late at night.
Without sunlight, the Tianshan Heavenly Mountain grew increasingly cold in the dead of night, especially in the valley where Su Yuan was located, where the temperature suddenly dropped below minus one hundred degrees Celsius.
Splash!
Just then, a cold wind blew in, filling the entire valley.
The continuous chill gathered, combined with the valley's own year-round cold, and the constant transmission of cold between the icicles.
The valley was instantly frozen solid.
Su Yuan's blood and qi surged within him to maintain his body temperature, while his gaze remained fixed on an ice sculpture in front of him.
According to the answer given by the Grey Mirror, the so-called transformation of Yin into Yang began with this ice sculpture.
Buzzing sound~ A cold wind blew, and a chill enveloped everything. In the next second, the ice sculpture that Su Yuan was staring at silently burst into flames.
A flame ignites amidst the extreme cold.
Although the flames were small and the temperature was not high, they were particularly incredible within this frozen valley.
Su Yuan sat cross-legged, his gaze fixed on the flames burning on the cold ice sculpture, and countless thoughts surfaced in the depths of his mind.
I practiced and repeated each move of the Extreme Yang 36 Forms spear technique in my mind.
This spear technique is inherently extremely masculine, but Su Yuan has not yet fully comprehended it, so he only sees its masculine power in this spear technique.
In fact, the perfected level of the "Extreme Yang 36 Forms" contains not only extreme Yang, but also extreme Yin.
Even though this wisp of extreme yin is only a trace, it truly exists.
"I see."
Su Yuan closed his eyes.
