Kyoto Base City, Huaxia. 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 reacted this way. Lin Qingyu's cultivation had 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 before finally settling into numbness over those ten days.

No one had ever been able to keep cultivating Genetic Energy for a full ten days on their first attempt.

This bug-like existence known as Lin Qingyu had directly shattered most of Earth's common knowledge and records regarding warrior cultivation.

The expert team could not do anything else now. They could only do their best to devise a specialized model to study Lin Qingyu's cultivation.

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

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

"Don't worry. Both the instruments and the teacher's personal energy sensing clearly show that the kid's life signs are healthy. There isn't any problem at all," Lin Meng said.

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

"Don't worry. According to our calculations, the Cosmic Energy Xiao Yu is absorbing now is enough to sustain his consumption. Besides, didn't he take 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 a person the endurance and recovery abilities of a War God. This ability was supplied by the pure energy within the Nine-Leaf Spirit Grass, and that energy would be consumed when the body came under attack or pressure.

But Lin Qingyu had not suffered any attacks or pressure at all. Those energies alone were enough to sustain him for a long time.

Not to mention that he was continuously drawing in 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 benefit of having a high Life Gene Level. At the same stage, he was vastly stronger than ordinary people.

However, Lin Qingyu was not merely accumulating energy. He was now conducting an important experiment.

My body and will have been perfectly fused from the very beginning. Now, although I possess Mental Power and Genetic Energy, these two forces are far weaker than my will. For me right now, that is actually a good thing. The weaker Genetic Energy and Mental Power are, the easier they are for me to control and command!

Inside Lin Qingyu's body, Mental Power and Genetic Energy, guided by his immensely powerful will and using his already fused body and will as a medium, gradually began to coordinate and entered an incomparably harmonious state.

At first, the coordination between Origin Force and Mental Force was disrupted from time to time. Yet 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 became increasingly fluid. 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 guidance 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, circling Lin Qingyu's body.

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

In the Universe, the most common path to obtaining a Domain was to advance along the route of foundation—Conception—Domain—World.

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

When one trained a move to extreme proficiency, achieving harmony between mind, will, and body while using it, or even attaching one's intent to the move, that was Conception.

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

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

Once Genetic Force and Mental Power completely fused, transforming into World Power, one would enter the World level occupied by World Lords.

This was the mainstream cultivation path of the Universe. Most warriors and Mental Masters grasped 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 way.

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 harmony, giving birth to Domain Power without it even needing to cultivate deliberately.

Another way was possessing an extraordinarily powerful will.

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

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

Of course, the latter three methods could not be widely applied. High-level bloodlines were impossible to come by on demand. 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 at the Apprentice or Planetary level? Such geniuses were probably even rarer than those at Domain 9th layer.

Even Lin Qingyu had only reached his current realm of will after undergoing the transformation of his Life Imprint and enduring 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, since it was his own power.

"My Domain is actually Wood attribute? It seems my body has a greater affinity for Wood-attributed Cosmic Energy. After I break through to the Planetary level, I should be able to gain abilities related to the wood element. That suits me quite well."

Energy in the Universe was primarily divided into eight types: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, wind, and Light Law.

Because of differences in soul and body, different people had varying affinities for different kinds 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 though he were a monster.
