A new world: technological cultivation, starting with a Transcendent God Gene Engine sign-in!
Azure Cloud Continent, Cangnan Region, Moon Gazing Mountain, Moon Gazing Sect.
Among the more than 1,230 cultivation sects of Xiaoxiao in the Cangnan Region, the Moon Gazing Sect is one of the lesser-known sects.
Sect Master Lan Haoyue has only just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage stage.
In some super sects, Foundation Establishment Stage level is merely considered an Entry disciple.
He wasn't even considered an inner disciple.
Moon Gazing Mountain is located in a relatively remote area, with average Spiritual Qi and scarce resources for cultivating immortality.
I don't know what the people who founded the Moon Gazing Sect were thinking, establishing a cultivation sect in such a desolate place.
Although the sect is small, it has all the essential elements.
Aside from the sect leader and the three elders, there are nine true disciples, one hundred inner disciples, one thousand outer disciples, and three thousand miscellaneous disciples.
Ling Yi was one of the disciples who cared about the sect, and his main responsibility was to feed the sect's food Spirit Beast.
After all, the sect leader is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage; only when he reaches the Golden Core Stage can he truly abstain from grains.
Therefore, everyone in the sect, from top to bottom, needs to eat.
Ling Yi was responsible for taking care of the food Spirit Beast he raised, which were called Big-Eared Pig.
The Big-Eared Pig doesn't look much different from ordinary domestic pigs in the mortal world, except that its ears are extremely large.
These Big-Eared Pig don't just have ears for decoration; they can actually use them to glide short distances.
Moreover, this thing is incredibly strong. With Ling Yi's current small frame, if he gets hit by the Big-Eared Pig, he'll probably be dead.
No, to be precise, the original owner of this body had already died three days ago, because of this Big-Eared Pig's insults.
The original owner of this body was just being reckless and had nothing better to do than enter the Spirit Trapping Formation to summon the Big-Eared Pig.
This angered the Big-Eared Pig, who then headbutted it, sending it flying.
His chest caved in from the impact, and he felt utterly defeated.
Just then, Ling Yi transmigrated, replacing the original body and inheriting its memories. His previously damaged body was also repaired by a mysterious force.
This Spirit Trapping Formation is considered a relatively low-level Formation among First Pin Formation.
It can only trap creatures with relatively low intelligence.
For example, this Big-Eared Pig.
Ling Yi's main job every day is feeding the pigs!
The pig feed was readily available, and every month, other servant disciples would deliver it to them.
"Damn, they've already transmigrated, and they don't even have any cheat codes or anything? This is a cultivation world, where strength is everything, and it's incredibly dangerous!"
"Not only does he lack a cheat system, he also lacks Spiritual Root. Isn't this a complete wasteful start?!"
Moreover, there is a major crisis right now.
The cause of the crisis was this litter of Big-Eared Pig Spirit Trapping Formation.
There were a total of 123, and every single one of them was as skinny as a grasshopper.
As for why he's so thin, it's because someone withheld his feed—oops, I mean the feed he was feeding the Big-Eared Pig.
The one who withheld the feed was the handyman apprentice who delivered the feed to him every month.
What was the withheld feed used for?
eat!
That's right, it's about eating. Who's eating? I don't know, but it certainly isn't that handyman disciple.
Nine times out of ten, it's some desperate inner disciple behind this menial disciple who's eating the food.
That's why, even though the original owner knew that the servant disciple was skimping on pig feed, he didn't dare say anything.
Seriously, people actually eat pig feed?
This pig feed is also made from spiritual materials, and it contains a considerable amount of Spiritual Power.
Although it cannot compare to the Spiritual Power of the Spirit Shattering Pill, it is even less comparable to pills like the Qi Gathering Pill and the Spirit Absorption Pill.
But it's better than nothing.
However, the amount that was withheld was far too much.
Who can stand being directly penalized with half?
At the normal feeding rate, these 123 Big-Eared Pig will be ready for market in another three months.
But now half of the feed has been cut, so let alone three months, it'll probably be like this for three years.
When the inner disciples come to collect the pigs, my fate will surely be grim.
The best outcome would be being expelled from the sect and left to fend for themselves.
It's highly likely he's doomed.
In the eyes of most cultivators, there is a difference between immortals and mortals; A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality are nothing more than ants on the ground.
In the eyes of cultivators, once they begin cultivating immortality, they cease to be human.
Even the outer disciples who have just Qi Refining still use "this humble one" and "this venerable one" all the time when they speak.
This is to show off their awesomeness.
Ling Yi squatted in front of the thatched hut, looking at the ants on the ground with a worried expression.
"Should we run now?"
But then Ling Yi shook his head. Although he was a menial disciple, he still bore the sect's mark.
This brand has no other purpose than tracking.
No matter where you go, as long as the mark is still there, finding you is as easy as using a GPS.
[Ding! Energy fully restored. Technology Sign-In System successfully activated!]
Ling Yi stood up abruptly. "Emma Frost, the system? The system!"
All gods and Kami, handsome men and beautiful women, did you hear that? Laozi system has arrived.
"Hmm, something seems off. Technology Sign-In System? Seriously, this is a cultivation world, and you've given Laozi Technology Sign-In System?"
[Ding! The system allows you to sign in once a year. Additional rewards will be given for signing in on significant milestones such as every ten, one hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand years.]
Hmm... ten thousand years? Are you sure I can even live to that age?
Also, how do you calculate this year?
Does the year start from now, or is it counted as the end of the year?
If it's at the end of the year, then you'll save six months.
If we start counting from now into the whole year, then it's May 27th, 13885 in the Cangnan calendar!
[Ding, current check-in count: 1. Check in now?]
Although this Technology Sign-In System doesn't fit into the world of cultivation, it's still a system, better than nothing.
"Check-in!"
[Ding, congratulations host for successfully checking in! You have obtained a Transcendent God World Gene Engine, currently being transferred...]
" Transcendent God Seminary? Holy crap! Gene Engine? Emma Frost, the truth is... Gah!"
Before Ling Yi could even get excited, a massive amount of data flooded into Ling Yi mind. The terrifying data stream Ling Yi to faint.
At this moment, Ling Yi's body is undergoing earth-shattering Changes.
All the genes were rearranged and recombined in a short period of time.
However, this rearrangement and recombination is not to strengthen Ling Yi's body, but to restructure the core of the Gene Engine.
Ling Yi finally woke up the next day at dawn.
He sat on the ground, shook his head, and tried to get up, but halfway up, he froze in place.
"I never expected it to be the Gene Engine from the Transcendent God Seminary anime. I never imagined that the so-called Gene Engine would be like this."
Ling Yi watched Transcendent God Seminary, but it was the remastered version.
But even though I watched it, I only saw the pretty girls and the special effects.
However, the power system in Transcendent God Seminary is completely confusing.
I don't understand any of that stuff— Void Engine, Power of the Galaxy, Gene Engine, all sorts of algorithms.
Anyway, just know that it's awesome, and that's all.
What is Gene Engine?
Genes determine everything about the human body.
It includes various aspects such as height, appearance, personality, lifespan, strength, etc.
Gene Engine is a computational program and operating system that alters, absorbs, and Fusion genes from other organisms and non-organic sources.
Biological and non-biological genes?
In this Transcendent God concept of genes, genes do not only refer to biological genes, but also include non-biological genes.
Non-biological genes include both Matter Genes and Energy Genes.
Matter has its macroscopic genes, and energy has its microscopic genes.
The essence of matter is energy.
Therefore, the "genes" in Transcendent God Seminary actually refer to Energy Genes.
The Gene Engine consists of two parts.
One part is the hardware engine, which is the operating system.
The complexity of this system is beyond imagination; it is an integrated and modified system composed of the brain, genes, and energy transport structure, namely the digestive system and various circulatory systems.
From last night until now, Ling Yi's body has been undergoing this transformation.
In other words, Ling Yi's current body is actually a machine, and the Gene Engine itself is a machine, or rather, a supercomputer.
The second part is the software engine, which is the computing system.
This computational system is the core of the Gene Engine.
Without this computing system, even if Ling Yi captures other genes, he will be unable to analyze and effectively Fusion them.
The speed of the computing system determines the number, type, and level of genes that Ling Yi can Fusion in his current state.
With a thought, a row of data appeared before Ling Yi's eyes.
This is not the system interface for the Sign-In System; the Sign-In System doesn't even have a system interface.
This is the basic data panel of the Gene Engine, which is also Ling Yi's current data panel.
[ Gene Engine ]
[Processing speed: 1 unit (1 unit equals 10 bits)]
[Currently Controllable Fusion Gene Level: Macrobiological Genes]
[Current number of Fusion genes: 0!]
[Current Fusion gene: None]
[ Gene Bank: None]
[Number of backups: 0]
[Energy Reserve: 5 Crystals/5 Crystals (1 Crystal = 2000 kcal)]
Although he has Fusion the Gene Engine, Ling Yi is currently just an ordinary person.
The processing speed and energy reserves determine the level of genes that Ling Yi can Fusion.
If Ling Yi were to operate the Gene Engine at full power, it would consume one crystal of energy per second.
Ling Yi can only consume a maximum of 2 crystals of energy; any more and his body will collapse.
So, Ling Yi can only operate the Gene Engine at full power for a maximum of 2 seconds?
Don't underestimate those two seconds; for the Gene Engine, those two seconds are enough to accomplish a great deal.
The so-called macroscopic biological genes refer to the biological genes of carbon-based organisms.
Just then, a group of ants crawled across the ground.
Ling Yi picked up an ant, activated his Gene Engine with a thought, and a row of data flashed before his eyes.
[Scanning and detection in progress...]
[Detection complete. Current detection consumed 0.5 crystals of energy.]
[Ability to Fusion genes detected]
[ Energy Muscle (Deductive): Special muscle tissue capable of storing and releasing energy; after Fusion, its maximum coverage should not exceed 10%!]
[ Fiber Muscle (deduction): An extremely tough and special muscle tissue with exceptional resilience and extensibility; after Fusion, its coverage should not exceed 10%!]
[ Defense Muscle (deductive): Special muscle tissue with Gao Qiang and rigidity; after Fusion, the maximum coverage rate will not exceed 30%!]
[ Jumping Muscle (deduction): Special muscle tissue with extremely high elasticity and extensibility; after Fusion, the maximum coverage will not exceed 50%!]
These Energy Muscle, Fiber Muscle, Defense Muscle, and Jumping Muscle are not the ant's original genes, but rather adaptive genes Simulation through Gene Engine calculations.
