Stirrings I

The main hall of the Guangxin Hall.

Beneath the three enormous alchemy furnaces, raging black flames burned continuously.

A guardian responsible for checking the stability of the flames leisurely flew over, intending to quickly finish and return to continue playing with the figurines with everyone. The instant the Heaven Seed fully unfolded, the pill fire suddenly flickered slightly.

The guardian frowned, his senses quickly spreading outwards to examine the details and see if anything unusual had affected the pill fire.

However, the Heaven Seed's activation lasted only a moment before quickly disappearing, rendering his subsequent perception useless. After scanning his surroundings for a while and finding no problems, he withdrew his senses.

"Jingli, why aren't you here yet? We're the only ones missing who's starting! Hurry up!" At this moment, the other guards kept urging him on with their messages.

"Here we are, here we are. You need to sign in, huh? Do you think I'm as free as you guys??" This guardian of the pills simply couldn't be bothered to check anymore. Anyway, no matter what the hidden dangers were, they would know what the problem was once something happened.

For those advocating for Fusion Faction, a one-off incident is generally not a big deal.

It's common practice to wait until something goes wrong before addressing the issue collectively.

The guardian of the pills vanished in a flash.

Only the area around the three alchemy furnaces remained, with the Heaven Seed Tongue silently spreading outwards in the void along with the Wind Energy.

After waiting for a long time and confirming that there was no sign of being discovered, Lin Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

"The first step is complete. From now on, it's all benefits... Like the Heaven Seed, the Nether Seed can also accelerate the advancement of all creatures within it. However, this advancement can only be achieved in this region. For any power, this is all good and no bad. So even if it's discovered, it will only be seen as some kind of positive anomaly."

This second step should theoretically be the smoothest.

"Once the Colloidal Dissociation is fully completed, the rate of advancement for the next Heaven Seed will slow down significantly. At that point, the Existence Force will be consumed in large quantities."

As his strength and realm increase, the Existence Force he consumes has already reached the millions, and it is very likely that it will reach tens of millions in the future. Therefore, Lin Hui's accumulation of so many Star Butterfly Fish Eye is a way of preparing for the future.

"During these ten years of advancement, we must continue to accumulate the Existence Force and perfect the advancement method."

Having accomplished a major task, Lin Hui completely settled down and went into hiding, awaiting the outcome.

The fusion of the Heaven Seed will cover all living beings within it, but if these living beings discover something is wrong and expel the Wind Energy and leave this void on their own, then the coverage of the Heaven Seed will have no effect.

Therefore, he still needs to remain in hiding.

Time continued to flow slowly.

Year after year.

At first, no one in the Guangxin Hall noticed anything amiss because they were all Fusion Faction with low potential and little opportunity to cultivate and become stronger, unlike the other geniuses.

But as the Heaven Seed gradually exerted its power, everyone inside the Guangxin Hall began to feel a strange sense of growth, a feeling they had before the Wind Disaster was fused with.

Some of the younger ones immediately increased their practice time, and to their surprise, they really did make progress.

Suddenly, a trend of secretly cultivating began to spread among the more than 10,000 people in the three alchemy furnaces inside the Guangxin Hall.

Five years have passed since then.

At the intersection of the three furnaces in the Guangxin Hall, in the default exchange area built by everyone together.

Lin Hui strolled leisurely with his hands behind his back, his eyes constantly scanning the goods in the small, makeshift shops around him.

After many years of construction, this area has been largely completed and has become a fairly safe trading zone.

The person in charge of security was a long-time steward in the palace who liked to sleep.

This person was enormous, much larger than the maximum size of an ordinary disciple.

At this moment, Lin Hui raised his head and looked up at the houses in the distance. He could see the nose hairs growing out of the steward's trembling nostrils. The nose hairs stretched across the sky in this area, like seaweed swaying in the sea. Anyone strolling around here could see them by looking up. In his spare time from cultivation, Lin Hui liked to wander around here and observe the unique features of other races and civilizations.

This time, after walking for only a few minutes, they suddenly sensed that a young shop assistant in a shop not far away suddenly trembled, and a huge material aura spread out rapidly.

This aura is still not very stable, but it's clearly much stronger than before. This can be considered a breakthrough.

Lin Hui nodded in agreement. The Heaven Seed had only been integrated for a few years, yet the number of breakthroughs he had witnessed had already increased significantly.

Wind Energy can only be integrated into improving actual combat, but breakthroughs still require cultivation. Therefore, the breakthroughs of these people, which were unheard of before, have now been concentrated in the last few years, which is clearly due to the influence of the Heaven Seed.

He had previously thought it wouldn't affect him much and hadn't taken it to heart. But this time...

Suddenly he stopped again and turned to look at the young man who had just broken through.

Because the opponent's aura was still surging, it had quickly surpassed the limit of materialization and was now rushing towards a higher Colloidal Dissociation. This guy was actually a hidden master who had already stepped on the edge of the limit of materialization. Now that he had discovered a hope of breaking through, he was unleashing his full power to sprint forward.

An overwhelming aura of materialism emanated from the area, attracting many onlookers.

For people of this size, the limit of materialization is the range covered by their own soul.

Therefore, the area affected by this person's breakthrough is not very large in everyone's current perspective.

It's simply a faint blue halo covering the body's surface.

"There's actually a hidden genius here! That's quite rare," someone murmured in amazement.

"Speaking of which, I've also recently felt my cultivation level loosening, as if there are signs of a breakthrough. I wonder what the reason is."

"I feel the same way. It seems there's been a change in the void, but it's a change for the better. I asked my friends from other halls, and none of them noticed this change." While the people around him were exchanging thoughts, the young man had already reached a crucial point in his breakthrough.

Once successful, the first Colloidal Dissociation Disaster Energy will be generated, which can then be used as the core to advance to Colloidal Dissociation within ten years.

But at that moment, the young man's soul trembled, and for some unknown reason, it suddenly twisted.

This caused the internal energy, which was being compressed and accumulated to create the Colloidal Dissociation Disaster Energy, to instantly become unstable, explode, and collapse.

Boom!!

A Leiming explosion followed.

The young man coughed up blood, slumped down in despair, and his attack failed.

Lin Hui shook his head slightly, sensing the sighs of the people around him, and then left the place as well.

However, it seemed that the person had inspired him, and not long after he left, he encountered someone else who was breaking through in his cultivation.

This time, it's just a breakthrough into the realm of materialization.

Many people cultivate themselves using a complete set of techniques, only by mastering them to the extreme can they break through to a new energy level.

This is the normal phenomenon. Only Lin Hui directly made the Blood Seal, based on energy levels, create an exaggerated technique that allows for a major realm advancement.

In fact, the key is to gradually improve one's abilities step by step, eventually leading to a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation.

After three failed attempts to break through, Lin Hui lost interest in exploring further and returned to his courtyard.

"The changes are too obvious. If someone traces them back to me, it will be a hidden danger. I should make some preparations first."

He pondered for a moment, then began to organize the disguise and concealment techniques he had mastered. He had previously evolved a technique of this kind, called the Hundred Yue Transformation Art. It was quite effective; at least even the core protector couldn't see through his disguise.

However, the fusion of the Heaven Seed is likely to attract the attention of even more important figures.

Now is the perfect time.

"At the level of spacetime distortion, one can trace back to the source from any clue. To avoid such a level, the previous disguise is completely insufficient; we need to go a step further."

Lin Hui activated the Hundred Yue Transformation Art and began to mobilize the Blood Seal. This time, the Existence Force was absolutely sufficient, and he planned to evolve to the limit in one go to ensure the absolute advantage of the Heaven Seed.

At the same time, the increase in the transformation of the Immortal Fire by Yin-Time Self-Origin Art is already starting to fall short of the speed at which the transformation requires Wind Energy.

After all, his body size has increased so many times.

Even the enhancements gained by the Immortal Fire after it devoured the Burning Shadow are now becoming somewhat unstable.

This instability mainly stems from the nature of the Immortal Fire; it is actually Light Disaster rather than Wind Disaster.

After it intensifies, it begins to instinctively turn toward light and heat.

Lin Hui focused his mind, gazing intently at the Hundred Yue Transformation Art information displayed on the Blood Seal.

"Hundred Yue Transformation Art: An evolved form of concealment technique created by Lin Hui, the master of Clear Jade Mountain. Used against external objects, it perfectly disguises itself to counter spiritual and aura sensing, blending seamlessly into the surrounding environment. It can evolve into five branches."

"My physical strength and energy level are far superior to before, yet I still can't increase many evolutionary branches?" Lin Hui frowned slightly, knowing very well what this meant.

This situation only arises when there are very few evolutionary paths left to choose from.

Composing himself, he clicked on the evolution branch.

"1. The Thousand Autumns Shadowless Technique: A top-tier hidden technique created by the Withering-Prospering Dao Lord. It can transform the people and things one has locked onto into spacetime, leaving no trace, no shadow, and no way to be found, thus becoming completely external. It is not subject to interference from anything, nor can it interfere with anything. This technique once created the so-called Observer Clan." "2. The Primordial Unhindered Art: A hidden technique created by the First Heart Source Demon Emperor. It perfectly creates a virtual personality, giving it independent cultivation, memories, experiences, and thoughts, but with an inherent flaw: it cannot survive for more than a thousand years. After a thousand years, it naturally withers and is reshaped, requiring the technique to be circulated again. Later, due to the virtual personality causing great trouble, this technique was removed from the inheritance catalog."

Lin Hui shook his head slightly; neither of these two directions was ideal. One offered strong concealment, but he couldn't interfere with the external environment.

Another one carries the risk of causing other problems.

He then looked down.

"3. The Great Dream Thousand Prosperities Art: Life is like a dream, and every living being has its own dream focus. This technique can subtly interfere with and distort the attention of others, causing them to feel a diminished sense of presence, such as being ignored by them."

Lin Hui narrowed his eyes; this could be a temporary alternative.

4. Inhuman Art: Materialize oneself, enhance one's own object attributes, and make external senses automatically perceive oneself as a specific thing. This technique is somewhat similar to the third item above, but the difference is that this one is a real transformation, while the previous one only made people think they had changed. Lin Hui also eliminated it. Looking at the last item, generally, the evolution of Blood Seal requires more and more effort as you progress, but the effect is also better, and this time seems to be no exception.
