Cultivation

"Snap!"

Not long after, Luo Zhe returned to his home on the third floor, entered his room, closed the door, and locked it.

To compare the time flow difference between the two spaces, Luo Zhe grabbed two mobile phones, opened their timer functions, set them to 00:00, started them simultaneously, then placed one on the bed while keeping the other in his hand.

He then calmed his mind and focused his thoughts. After a brief moment of preparation, he utilized the mysterious suction force at his dantian to enter the mysterious space located within it.

With a soft 'whoosh,' Luo Zhe's body suddenly vanished from the room, only to reappear about ten minutes later.

Luo Zhe picked up the phone in his hand and glanced at the timer; the time displayed was one hour and forty minutes. He then walked over to the bed and checked the other phone, where the time had only advanced by ten minutes!

Luo Zhe could not help but reveal a look of pleasant surprise in his eyes.

The time flow between the two spaces was truly inconsistent!

Moreover, the time flow inside the mysterious space was actually ten times faster than in the real world!

Ten times the time flow, and with the mysterious space filled with vast amounts of cosmic energy that allowed one to cultivate without feeling fatigue—this was simply a cheat code for cultivation!

If Luo Zhe had initially only had a chance to touch the threshold of the War God Level and felt confident in successfully stepping into it, then now, having confirmed the heaven-defying effects of this mysterious space, he was fully certain that one day in the future, he would become a world-class powerhouse comparable to Hong and Thor!

"Ha... haha... hahaha..."

Lying on the bed, imagining the wonderful future scenario of punching Hong and kicking Thor, Luo Zhe could not help but laugh out loud.

It must be said, this was truly a happy problem to have!

In the stairwell, Aunt Xiao, who had just finished hanging the laundry, heard the laughter coming from Luo Zhe's room, and a look of suspicion couldn't help but cross her eyes.

What is up with this kid Luo Zhe today? Don't tell me he practiced until he broke his brain? I must have a good talk with him when we eat tonight!

Luo Zhe, inside the room, had no idea that Aunt Xiao had already made up her mind to call him over for dinner that night and give him a lecture in the process.

Suddenly remembering something, Luo Zhe stopped laughing and sat up from the bed.

"Although this mysterious space is located in a hidden spot within my dantian, I can't just call it something as low-tier as 'Dantian Space,' right? I might as well call it 'Dimensional Space'."

Dimension, also known as dimensionality or degree of freedom.

In the fields of physics and philosophy, it refers to the number of independent spacetime coordinates.

According to Albert Einstein's theoretical concepts, our universe is composed of time and space, and the spacetime we inhabit has four dimensions, including three spatial axes and one time axis.

In physics, time is the fourth dimension. Unlike the three spatial dimensions, the time dimension is an axis of imaginary values; it is singular, and it can only move in one direction.

The appearance of the Dimensional Space suggests that in dimensions invisible to our naked eyes and consciousness, there exist not only other invisible spatial dimensions but also other invisible temporal dimensions.

The reason he named it Dimensional Space was that, deep down, Luo Zhe vaguely felt that the utility of this space should not stop here!

If the Dimensional Space could undergo further growth and changes, Luo Zhe believed that at some point in the future, it would grow into another macroscopic universe!

Late at night.

Although the outside world was already filled with stars, there seemed to be no distinction between day and night within the Dimensional Space. It maintained its usual gray-white hue, and beyond the hazy membrane, a seemingly eternal light shone upon this space, constant and unchanging.

Sitting cross-legged at the very center of the Dimensional Space, Luo Zhe maintained the Five Hearts Towards Heaven posture. His eyes were tightly shut, and the rise and fall of his chest drove the changes in his internal breath.

Within the deep structure of the space, Luo Zhe's consciousness was capturing the cosmic energy drifting in the surroundings through his five hearts.

The endless stream of cosmic energy irrigated the countless thirsty cells throughout Luo Zhe's body. It was as if a parched riverbed had welcomed a new source of water; the thirsty cells within his body, like fish out of water, were gulping down the cosmic energy.

As the cosmic energy entered the cells, it was rapidly absorbed by the mitochondria, which simultaneously released a strange energy. This energy was quickly absorbed by every part of the cell, and the entire cell immediately began to undergo earth-shaking changes. The DNA genetic blueprint underwent subtle alterations, and the cells began to divide, splitting into two.

Time passed second by second...

Luo Zhe's body was constantly changing. Whether it was the surface skin, muscles, bones, or even every cell at a deep level, and even the genes themselves, all underwent slight changes. This change was the evolution of life, and also an optimization of life's genes!

The essence of cultivation is the evolution of the life form; every breakthrough to a major level is a qualitative leap for life's genes!

However, Luo Zhe, immersed in his cultivation, did not notice at all that within the cosmic energy he was absorbing, some special substances—imperceptible to the naked eye and shimmering with specks of gold—were being drawn to every part of his body along with the flow of energy. As he cultivated his Genetic Origin Energy, these substances were gradually refined into the depths of his body.

And with the entry of these special substances, astonishing changes began to occur within his cells.

It was much like the environment of 2300°C and 15 to 18 atmospheres of pressure, where a tiny natural diamond is used as a seed. Around the seed diamond is high-temperature liquid metal, and above the metal solution is graphite. In such an environment, the carbon atoms in the graphite move from the metal atoms toward the diamond, thereby forming a new diamond.

The genetic chains stored within the cell nuclei began to break apart section by section, and then, under the influence of the special substances, they began to optimize and recombine, forming new genetic chains.

From the moment the genetic chains shattered, Luo Zhe's body first resembled a patient who had been fasting for three days and three nights; the skin all over his body sagged limply, and he seemed to be nothing but a skeleton. Then, it was as if someone were continuously pumping air into him, turning him into an inflated hydrogen balloon that looked ready to explode from over-inflation.

As a result, once the new genetic chains were reformed, the cells throughout his body burst with new vitality once again. Accompanied by a series of groans from his bones, Luo Zhe's body was suddenly stretched by two centimeters, and his physique quickly returned to its peak state.

Yet, even with such astonishing changes occurring to his body, Luo Zhe remained as if nothing had happened, maintaining the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation posture, motionless.

Not only that, but the speed at which the cosmic energy within his body was refined into Genetic Origin Energy was also constantly accelerating!

If Luo Zhe's original cultivation speed was 1, then with the entry of these special substances and the reorganization of the genetic chains within his cells, it had gradually increased to 5. Moreover, as the special substances continued to accumulate within his body's cells, Luo Zhe's cultivation speed was still steadily rising.
