536 Evolution II
As the more than three hundred fish eyes were absorbed, a large amount of related Aurora Seal Art flowed into Lin Hui's mind.
Because he had already mastered the previous Flash Extreme Seal, he could learn this seal technique directly from the start.
Beside him, where he sat cross-legged, tiny, colorful lights inexplicably shimmered. Each light seemed alive, constantly dancing and swirling around him, as if celebrating or dancing.
This is the state of activating the Aurora Seal Art.
Lin Hui's entire body gradually began to light up with countless colorful patterns, making him appear like a rainbow.
At this moment, he felt as if all the skills, secret techniques, and special effects he had mastered before had been thrown into a blender, completely crushed, mixed, and merged into one.
A strange sense of shared experience welled up within him.
In that instant, he seemed to see transparent threads running through all the techniques and secret arts.
"Note: You have attained Myriad Arts Integration."
"When practicing all methods with Myriad Arts Integration, the speed increases by 50%."
The enhancement of the Blood Seal appeared in time.
Lin Hui had just emerged from that strange state.
Upon exiting, I realized it was time for the Aurora Seal Art.
Ten seconds
"Amazing!" He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he looked at the special effects displayed on the Blood Seal.
At this moment, he could clearly estimate that after obtaining the Myriad Arts Integration effect, the difficulty of studying the Supreme Celestial Authority Formula and the Sentient Fangsheng Art would be greatly reduced. To determine whether this feeling was an illusion, Lin Hui immediately turned around and began to cultivate these two techniques.
Time flies, and a month later...
He awoke from his meditation once more.
"This feeling"
If previously these two cultivation techniques would take at least ten thousand years to complete, now, after trying them for a month, he can clearly sense that, based on his current cultivation speed, it might actually be accelerated by half, requiring only about five thousand years to complete.
"We're on the right track! Keep smashing!" Lin Hui got carried away.
The evolution of the Flash Extreme Seal exceeded his expectations, yielding far greater results than he had imagined.
Without hesitation, he glanced at the remaining nearly four thousand two hundred fish eyes, gritted his teeth, and continued to evolve.
The Aurora Seal Art now has two possible evolutionary branches.
This means that the possible directions for evolution are narrowing, and there is not much room for further evolution.
Lin Hui felt a little regretful, but he still quickly clicked on the branch.
Regardless, let's wait and see.
"1-- Ultimate Aurora Seal: The perfect form of the Aurora Seal Art, optimized and improved based on the original technique's effects, extending the casting time to twenty seconds per cast."
Nothing else has changed except that the time has been extended by twenty seconds.
"It seems there's really little room for evolution." Lin Hui shook his head inwardly. Then he looked at the second item.
"2. Supreme Omniscience Seal: The ultimate seal technique lost in an unknown region. Upon use, it grants a brief moment of incomplete Supreme Omniscience. Incomplete Supreme Omniscience state (can enhance one's comprehension and aptitude for cultivation techniques to the limit of what one can withstand for a brief moment.")
Note: The timer here is one-thousandth of a second.
A fraction of a second of supreme omniscience in a fragmented state?
Lin Hui recalled reading some materials before, and the definition of an instant actually varies. Some mythological civilizations define it as 0.3 seconds, while others define it as the shortest tangible duration, which changes with development.
I wonder what perspective this is based on.
Looking at these two options, he had little reason to hesitate. The first one simply extended the time, which wasn't very useful.
Secondly, it will likely be of great help to his spiritual practice.
Because he glanced at the consumption levels of both.
The former only requires ten million in reserves of energy and focus, while the latter requires one hundred million.
This was Lin Hui's first encounter with evolutionary options that consumed resources at this level.
Such a height, just looking at those exaggerated numbers, made him vaguely anticipate the specific effects after the evolution.
"But what happens to cognitive recovery after evolution?"
He really wanted to try evolving it and see what the quality of the 100 million-cost printing technique was, but...
Looking at the description of the Supreme Omniscience Seal's effects, Lin Hui hesitated for a long time. Ultimately, the increased permanent intelligence allowed him to weigh the pros and cons. "I'll take the risk. If the Flash Extreme Seal's effects disappear, evolving another similar one won't cost too much, but this Supreme Omniscience Seal... might be my only way to access unknown, top-tier levels right now..."
The highest level of any system can never be simple.
Immediately, Lin Hui made up his mind, concentrated his thoughts, and chose the second option Supreme Omniscience Seal.
Then, he took out a large number of fish eyes and began to frantically absorb the Existence Force.
The Existence Force the three thousand eight hundred fish eyes vanished rapidly. Lin Hui sighed as he put away the remaining fourteen hundred fish eyes, awaiting the new changes brought about by the seal technique after the evolution was successful.
One second.
Ten seconds.
One minute.
Ten minutes.
Laugh!
In the next instant, Lin Hui felt as if he had entered an ocean of boundless knowledge and information.
There is no false information, no illusions, no errors or omissions, only pure and accurate knowledge.
Everything in the universe, including all kinds of knowledge.
In an instant, he was like a wellspring of knowledge, absorbing a massive amount of information.
The raging flow of knowledge even condensed into a tangible, semi-transparent chain of white characters in the void around him.
Countless dense chains of characters flew out from the unknown void around him, appeared, solidified, and entered Lin Hui's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
A moment later, the chain of characters disappeared.
He was covered in sweat, but his body calmed down.
I reached up and rubbed my temples, feeling a sharp pain in my head.
But along with the pain came a wealth of insights and experiences he desperately needed regarding the cultivation of the Great Merit techniques.
Normally, when Blood Seal successfully evolves a cultivation technique, it is infused with cultivation experience memories, but these memories are completely different from the memories obtained at this time.
The memories, insights, and experiences here are all shortcuts and techniques that significantly optimize and shorten the difficulty of cultivation. They utilize various civilizations, entirely new systems, and entirely new perspectives and ways of thinking to cultivate, understand, and comprehend.
Lin Hui simply accepted and understood these memories, and then felt his cultivation of the Great Merit techniques rapidly improving.
Following these profound insights and experiences, he sat motionless, entering a spontaneous period of enlightenment.
Several days later.
Lin Hui's figure suddenly dispersed in the courtyard, turning into countless blue light spots, which then quickly reassembled in the next moment.
A surge of divine soul energy, far more powerful than before, spread rapidly.
The Supreme Celestial Authority Formula, a cultivation method that should take a thousand years to master, was easily mastered by Lin Hui at this moment.
His spirit and Wind Energy underwent initial fusion and activation.
This is a further fusion than the previous Dao Integration. It signifies that his control over Wind Energy is more precise, and it also means that the growth of Wind Energy will strengthen his divine soul.
In the initial stage of the Supreme Celestial Authority Formula, the ratio of this feedback is ten to one.
That is, Wind Energy increases by ten, and the divine soul increases by one.
However, as the skill is strengthened, the ratio of five to one at the minor level will eventually become one to one.
The moment Lin Hui mastered the introductory technique, his soul instantly expanded and strengthened by at least dozens of times.
This means that the expansion of Wind Energy has become much, much stronger than before.
The pure divine soul power naturally generated by countless Wind Energy bodies merged into his divine soul, continuously strengthening and expanding it.
The other Great Merit techniques also saw significant improvement, but Lin Hui had been focusing his attention on the first one, so it saw the greatest improvement.
It instantly saved him a thousand years of hard work.
Once his mind had calmed down, Lin Hui slowly opened his eyes.
"I've truly come to appreciate the benefits of this hand seal technique... Indeed, the evolution has been worthwhile."
This hand seal can only be used once a year, and although it's only for a moment, the ocean it connects to can drastically shorten his cultivation time. He doesn't know what that ocean is, so let's just call it the Ocean of Wisdom. It contains countless correct knowledge and precise information. But how is this correctness and precision determined? Who filters it?
Like the Mind Sea, it should be a naturally formed environment where information and memories are indistinguishable between true and false, and their quantity is inexhaustible.
Unable to come up with an answer, he simply gave up trying.
At this moment, as Lin Hui entered the Supreme Celestial Authority Formula and felt the Wind Energy constantly expanding, he could also clearly sense the continuous growth of his divine soul.
All of this increased wildly as his soul continuously transformed into Wind Energy.
"Next, it's time to accelerate the conversion rate of Wind Energy. If the conversion rate remains the same as before, it will be too slow."
The Wind Energy generated by Yin-Time Self-Origin Art is indeed quite good, but its speed is slow, so...
He took another look at the evolutionary branches of Yin-Time Self-Origin Art.
Unfortunately, it's still 0.
This means that the technique has reached a state of perfection and cannot be further evolved or improved.
Since evolution is impossible, let's take the path of amplification.
Lin Hui focused his attention back on the Immortal Fire.
Essentially, he is the Immortal Fire, and the Immortal Fire is him. The special effect of this Immortal Perpetual Motion Mechanism motion mechanism, combined with the Yin-Time Self-Origin Art, greatly helped him and is also one of the core structures for him to obtain Wind Energy.
But now, looking at the remaining Star Butterfly Fish Eye in his hand, he decided to do something with it.
The origin of the Immortal Perpetual Motion Mechanism lies in the Ever-Burning Contemplation that evolved in the beginning.
To strengthen this now, we must strengthen the Ever-Burning Contemplation.
"The evolution of the Ever-Burning Contemplation initially brought about the karmic consequences of Karmic Fire and the Burning Shadow. Now..."
Lin Hui estimated that if the Wind Energy conversion rate continued at the current pace and the energy spread slowly, it might take about eight hundred years for the wind to barely cover most of the Thunder King Sect.
That's already very fast.
The Thunder King Sect is quite large, with numerous secret realms in many places. In an environment where light-years are often measured, the previous rate of expansion was indeed not fast enough.
Just as he was about to continue evolving, a soft female voice suddenly rang in his ear.
"Lin Hui, come to my place."
Um???
Lin Hui instantly recognized the voice as that of his newly apprenticed teacher, Junchen Primordial Lord. However... the crucial point was that he had never revealed his real name, always using the Lin Chengdao!
But now the other party actually...
His heart sank; he knew these old guys had too many hidden tricks and secret techniques, making them difficult to deal with.
You have to be constantly on edge, worried about making a mistake.
As expected.
However, it could also be related to the Supreme Serene Mystery Art... The fact that I haven't been practicing it here might have aroused suspicion over there.
Lin Hui, his mind a jumble of thoughts, stood up and replied.
"Yes, disciple will be there immediately."
"Your spiritual fluctuations are unusual, don't worry. It's just a matter of you meeting and sparring with your fellow disciples. As for your real name, you'll find out later. At my level, many things are difficult to hide," Junchen Primordial Lord said with a smile.
"This sparring session will determine the selection of the elite core members of the Myriad Stars Tower to go to the outside world. There will be participants from all levels, and it's essential for you, as core members, to go and train. Therefore, you'd better not hold back, because the sect leader has offered you great benefits for this."
"Yes!" Lin Hui replied sternly again.
