Huaxia, Kyoto Base City, Kyoto General Military Region.

A large group of people, including Lin Meng, who had arrived after completing his mission, watched Lin Qingyu cultivate with numb expressions.

It was no wonder they felt that way. Lin Qingyu's cultivation had already continued for a full ten days.

Whether it was Zheng Xinyi and Lin Meng, the surrounding team of experts, or even Jia Yi himself, their emotions had gone through repeated surges of shock over those ten days before finally becoming numb.

No one had ever been able to continue cultivating Gene Energy for ten whole days on their very first attempt.

Lin Qingyu, a bug-like existence, had directly shattered most of Earth's common knowledge and records concerning warrior cultivation.

The expert team could no longer do anything else. They could only do their best to design a specialized model to study Lin Qingyu's cultivation.

Of course, those experts were also excited. This was an unprecedented record of Origin Force cultivation, and such a unique observation naturally possessed immense value.

"It's already been ten days. Xiao Yu won't be all right, will he?" Zheng Xinyi looked at Lin Qingyu, who sat peacefully with his eyes closed, still feeling a trace of unease and worry.

"Don't worry. Whether it's the instruments' readings or the teacher's personal energy detection, everything clearly shows that the kid is perfectly healthy." Lin Meng said.

"But Xiao Yu hasn't eaten anything for ten days." Zheng Xinyi said.

"Don't worry. According to the calculations, the Cosmic Energy Xiao Yu is absorbing now is enough to sustain him. Besides, didn't he drink a dose of medicine before cultivating? That medicine alone is enough to keep someone from eating or drinking for half a month." Lin Meng said.

The medicine made from Nine-Leaf Spirit Grass could temporarily grant someone War God-level endurance and recovery abilities. Those abilities were supplied by the pure energy within the Nine-Leaf Spirit Grass, and that energy would be consumed when the body was attacked or placed under pressure.

But Lin Qingyu had not suffered any attacks or pressure at all, so that energy alone was enough to sustain him for a long time.

Not to mention that he was continuously absorbing Cosmic Energy to support his life.

By Earth's standards, he had already become an Invincible War God several days ago. Now, he could easily kill a Planetary level 1st stage expert, yet Lin Qingyu's actual cultivation had not even broken through to the Planetary level.

That was the advantage of having a high Life Gene Level. At the same stage, he was far stronger than ordinary people.

However, Lin Qingyu was not merely accumulating energy. He was currently making an important attempt.

My body and will had been perfectly fused from the very beginning. Now, although I have Mental Power and Gene Energy, those two powers are far weaker than my will. For me now, that's a good thing. The weaker Gene Energy and Mental Power are, the easier they are to control and command!

Inside Lin Qingyu's body, Mental Power and Gene Energy gradually began to coordinate under the control of his incomparably powerful will. Using his already fused body and will as a medium, they entered an extremely harmonious state.

At first, the coordination between Origin Force and Mental Force would occasionally be disrupted. But under the suppression of Lin Qingyu's incomparably powerful will, the two forces never separated.

Almost there, almost there, I've found the feeling! Lin Qingyu's control over the two forces grew smoother and smoother. That's right, just like this!

At last, after a long period of coordination, Mental Power and Genetic Force seemed to break through some limit. Under the mobilization of his will, they began to resonate!

A force capable of affecting the surrounding space was born from the resonance between Mental Power and Genetic Force, surrounding Lin Qingyu's body.

That was the power known as a Domain! Even among Universe Level experts, not everyone could comprehend a Domain.

In the universe, the most common way to obtain a Domain was to follow the path of foundation—ConceptionDomain—world.

Foundation referred to ordinary moves: blade techniques, sword techniques, Spear Technique... These simple moves all belonged to the foundation.

When one trained their moves to extreme proficiency, achieving harmony between mind, will, and body while using them, even attaching one's intent to those moves, that was Conception.

Descriptions such as Man-Blade Unity, Man-Sword Unity, and Body-Weapon Unity all referred to the level of Conception.

Beyond that, when body, will, Genetic Force, and Mental Power were all coordinated as one, and Mental Power and Genetic Force resonated under the unified command of the will, giving birth to a force capable of affecting the surrounding space, that was a Domain!

When Genetic Force and Mental Power completely fused, transforming into World Power, one entered the world stage where World Lords stood—the World Lord level.

This was the mainstream cultivation path of the universe. Most warriors and Mental Masters mastered Domains through this method.

However, while this path was mainstream, it was not the only way to master a Domain.

A high-level bloodline was one such method.

For example, once a Golden Horn Beast grew to the Universe Level, the innate Secret Patterns on its body could automatically bring its body, will, Genetic Force, and Mental Power into a harmonious state, producing Domain Power without even requiring active cultivation.

Another method was an exceedingly powerful will.

If one possessed the will of a World Lord level expert while still at the Planetary level or even the Apprentice level, comprehending a Domain would basically come naturally. The reason Hong and Thor could comprehend Domains at the Planetary level was also inseparable from their powerful wills. The existence bestowed with an opportunity by the Void True Demon God in the Original work had been similar.

There were also some miraculous items that could help cultivators comprehend Domains.

Of course, the latter three methods could not be widely applied. High-level bloodlines were things one could only hope to encounter by chance. Those miraculous items were also incomparably expensive; even some poorer Undying beings might be reluctant to buy them. As for possessing the will of a World Lord level expert at the Apprentice level or Planetary level? Such geniuses were probably even rarer than those who had reached Domain 9th layer.

Even Lin Qingyu had only brought his will to its current realm after the transformation of his Life Imprint and fifteen years of excruciating pain from the fusion of body and will.

Let me see what attribute my Domain Power has. Lin Qingyu quickly gained a preliminary understanding of his new Domain. After all, it was his own power.

My Domain is actually of the Wood attribute? It seems my body is more compatible with wood-type Cosmic Energy. After breaking through to the Planetary level, I should be able to gain abilities of the wood type. That suits me quite well.

The energies of the universe were mainly divided into eight types: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, wind, and light.

Because of differences in soul and body, different people had varying degrees of affinity for different types of energy. After breaking through to the Planetary level, they could also obtain different special abilities.

After reviewing the gains from this cultivation session, Lin Qingyu opened his eyes.

Then he discovered that everyone, including his parents, was looking at him as if he were a monster.
