The essence flowed down his esophagus and into his body.
At once, a cool, refreshing sensation spread throughout him!
Chu He even felt his soul tremble faintly.
With the physical constitution of an Advanced War God, it was already rare for Chu He to lose control of his body like this.
It was like an ordinary person taking a sip of ice-cold cola on a midsummer afternoon and shivering all over.
Refreshing!
In that instant!
Chu He felt the chill in his stomach rapidly spread throughout his body.
Under that chill, the Genetic Origin Energy in his body began to boil, surging toward his Dantian in waves.
Even though Chu He felt that his Dantian was already completely full, as if it might burst, the Genetic Origin Energy in the cells throughout his body continued to gather, forming streams and rivers.
The streams were small, but they flowed steadily toward his Dantian.
At last, the Origin Energy gathering in his boundless Dantian could no longer be compressed.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the Genetic Origin Energy exploded.
Yet just as the Genetic Origin Energy erupted at its peak, a force of attraction like a black hole suddenly arose at the very core of his Dantian.
Streams formed from vast amounts of Genetic Origin Energy spiraled in from every direction, converging at the very center and compressing furiously.
"Hum!"
His Dantian shuddered violently once more!
Chu He's consciousness seemed to appear in his Dantian.
In that boundless Dantian, only a single orb of light remained at its very core!
It was as if, in an endless universe, only this one planet remained.
At the heart of his Dantian, the sole orb of light.
A dazzling, radiant orb, beautiful beyond compare!
His consciousness drew closer, and Chu He sensed clearly that the orb was formed from countless tightly packed hexagonal crystals!
An extraordinary, intangible ripple spread out from the planet.
"So this is the Planetary Level?"
Feeling the ripples constantly released by the planet in his Dantian, and sensing his body continually transform under their influence, Chu He suddenly smiled.
A bright, radiant smile appeared on his face, and his eyes, brilliant as the stars, shone all the more brightly.
July 18, 2058. Nearly nineteen years after arriving in this world, he had finally broken through to the Planetary Level!
At this moment, Luo Feng was still in seclusion inside the Ruins of Ancient Civilization No. 9.
At this moment, he was still an Invincible War God.
At this moment, Chu He had exceeded his own expectations.
"I... surpassed Luo Feng!" Chu He smiled brightly, as if he had finally set down a heavy burden.
For Chu He, this moment felt like a new beginning.
Starting today, he felt he could have a little more confidence in himself.
Well... he could approach City Lord Luo with even greater confidence and cling to his coattails!
Just kidding.
Chu He simply felt that, with such a powerful inheritance, it would be a dismal failure if he couldn't even match Luo Feng's achievements!
The image of Old Chu curled up on the sofa, weeping over how useless he was, remained vivid in Chu He's mind...
The hand Adams had stretched out before his death was still covered in bloody gashes...
Chu He took a deep breath. His voice was barely audible, but as firm as iron. "In this life, I will eradicate the monsters and sweep them from the land! I will make the Earth Humans stride across the stars and reign supreme throughout the universe!"
"Hum!"
At this moment, the improvement in Chu He's life essence prompted the Spiritual Force in his Sea of Consciousness to advance on its own.
"Whoosh!"
The Spiritual Force, which had long since liquefied, gathered together of its own accord in his Sea of Consciousness.
It contracted and condensed.
Before long, an orb of light, shaped much like the one in his Dantian, took form in his Sea of Consciousness.
The moment the orb took shape, the White Jade Wine Pot suddenly shone with a brilliant light.
Three emerald-green seeds shot out of its mouth.
Intangible ripples spread from the three emerald-green seeds, instantly filling his entire Sea of Consciousness.
In a single moment, Chu He clearly understood the nature of the three emerald-green seeds.
They were three Seeds of Divine Ability!
The Spirit Guiding Technique! The Spirit Nourishing Technique! The Spirit Sealing Technique!
The moment the three Seeds of Divine Ability appeared, Chu He understood. It wasn't that he needed to develop the techniques himself—the Wine God Inheritance he had received before had simply been incomplete!
He only needed to think back briefly to understand why he had received the complete Wine God Inheritance only now.
His strength had been too weak before!
His body was weak! His soul was even weaker!
Even though the White Jade Wine Pot had inadvertently strengthened him back then, he still couldn't withstand the ripples from the three Seeds of Divine Ability.
If those three seeds had emerged from the White Jade Wine Pot at the time, Chu He would probably have died from the destruction of his Sea of Consciousness!
Now, when Chu He sensed the three Seeds of Divine Ability, the mysterious ripples conveyed all the information they contained, without holding anything back.
"Hum!"
Chu He's mind grew groggy. He fought to stay awake, but soon sank into a deep sleep.
At ten that night, the second-floor Martial Arts Hall in Villa 207, Jinxiu Residential District, was brightly lit.
Chu He slept soundly on the brown oak floor.
The night passed in a daze.
At dawn, the light from the residential district's streetlamps fell through the floor-to-ceiling windows and onto the ceiling of the Martial Arts Hall, but nothing remained of it.
"Uh... mm..." A few murmurs broke the silence.
On the oak floor, Chu He opened his eyes in confusion.
His gaze shifted from a blank, unfocused stare to one filled with awareness.
"So... these are the real Three Spirit Techniques!"
Chu He stood up and stretched a little, his tone tinged with grievance. "Just how weak was I before?"
"Is this the difference between the Apprentice Stage and the Star Traveler Stage?"
A leap in life level!
An improvement in the very essence of life!
This time, Chu He seemed to understand what true evolution really was.
The Apprentice Stage, from Beginner Warrior to Advanced War God, was merely a series of improvements to the body he already had.
It was nothing more than a process of accumulating energy.
As long as he absorbed Cosmic Energy and converted it into Genetic Origin Energy, he could steadily grow stronger. And with certain aids, whether Dragon Blood, Jade Marrow, or Heavenly Star Jade Dew, he could shorten the process considerably.
Evolution, however, meant improving the very essence of life.
Over the course of one night, Chu He had completely understood and absorbed the information released by the three Seeds of Divine Ability.
Spirit Guiding Technique: Lead and guide; draw out and invoke.
Spirit Nourishing Technique: Gather and contain; nurture and store.
Spirit Sealing Technique: Seal and suppress; invest with authority and command.
Moreover, the Three Spirit Techniques were essentially composed of countless runes.
If he inscribed some of the runes he had comprehended onto an object, that object would gain the functions of those runes.
The White Jade Wine Pot, for example, had all the runes of the three Seeds of Divine Ability inscribed on it, and the Wine God had added many other runes as well.
Of course, the Wine God hadn't passed down those other runes.
Only the core teachings were worthy of being passed on.
The three Seeds of Divine Ability and the White Jade Wine Pot were the core of the Wine God's system.
At that moment, the three Seeds of Divine Ability and the White Jade Wine Pot were like four treasure vaults, standing open and unguarded in Chu He's Sea of Consciousness.
"Let's try comprehending the runes on these Seeds of Divine Ability first!" Chu He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and immersed his mind completely in his Sea of Consciousness.
In the east, the sky had grown pale, and the red sun rose.
