Bloodline Enhancement! (Monthly Passes! Investments! Favorites!)

As Jiang Zhe underwent his transformation while visualizing the Incomplete Three-Point Star Map, in a region roughly 27,000 light-years away from Earth—

A vast cluster of stars, the Wuxian Constellation, was awakening!

The feedback Jiang Zhe received from visualizing the star map did not come from it.

Rather, it had benefited from Jiang Zhe. Fortunate enough to sense the aura of the Supreme Wuxian Constellation, its spirituality had been awakened. It had turned from death to life, undergoing an unimaginable transformation.

"I heard in my Past Life that certain genetic diseases could torment people half to death. My Gene Encoding has been altered, yet I don't feel the slightest pain. It even feels comfortable, like soaking in a hot spring, with this... thrilling sensation of my blood surging."

Part of Jiang Zhe's consciousness maintained the visualization as he came up with an odd metaphor.

"Also, it feels like my body has split into a Particle Torrent and is being reassembled on a microscopic level."

After muttering a few words, Jiang Zhe closed his eyes again and devoted himself completely to visualizing the Incomplete Star Map.

About two hours later.

The complex Gene Encoding work was finally complete. Jiang Zhe had been thoroughly remade, and his temperament had changed dramatically.

Gene Encoding was similar to the binary code of computer programs, except it was quaternary.

The information it contained was equivalent to a million times that of a computer. Through different arrangements and combinations, it displayed different traits, including height, build, personality, intelligence...

When Gene Encoding changed, hereditary information changed. Naturally, the entire person changed accordingly.

Jiang Zhe's figure had been adjusted to a perfect golden ratio. He was handsome and spirited, his muscles full and defined as though carved with a blade. His entire body overflowed with the beauty of strength, and he seemed like a one-of-a-kind work of art fashioned by the heavens.

Of course, Jiang Zhe merely had the appearance for now.

He still needed to continue transforming.

Only after condensing three stars and completing the first stage of the Life Blueprint would he become a New Species whose exterior and essence matched.

A bright star condensed deep within Jiang Zhe's mind.

Naturally, it existed on the Fantasy Plane. It was an Imaginary Creation, "Schrödinger's Cat (Jiang Zhe's Star)."

Even if someone cracked open Jiang Zhe's skull right now, they would be unable to find any trace of that star on the material plane.

"The first step is complete!"

Feeling the results of his transformation, Jiang Zhe was somewhat excited, but he also recalled some troubling matters.

"Sigh, it won't be this easy next time."

"I'm already at a 1x Genetic Level, so I have sufficient foundations. Transforming into another life-form with a 1x Genetic Level is naturally much easier."

"The whole process is like tearing down an old house and using the old materials to build a new one."

"When I begin condensing the second star, I'll have to gather bricks, stones, and lumber myself to add another floor to the new house. The difficulty will rise tremendously."

"But thankfully, I'm still young. How much can I eat, no matter how much of an eater I am? If I waited until the World Master stage to cultivate the Life Blueprint, it would be hard to imagine how terrifying the consumption would be."

Jiang Zhe smiled. He recalled how Luo Feng had suffered headaches over a similar problem while cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Art.

After an Earthling's body failed in cultivation and turned to ash, it could be restored by consuming only a small amount of energy.

But when a Golden Horn Beast died from failed cultivation, the terrifying energy cost of reconstructing its body was enough to make Luo Feng see black.

Fortunately, he had discovered the Law of Conservation of Energy and used ashes to perfectly replace the energy that would have been consumed.

"Although I'm still at a 1x Genetic Level, it's completely different now. At the very least, according to the Cosmic Human Bloodline Hierarchy, I should have reached the first tier. I'll be able to reach the Domain Lord Level once I reach adulthood... Of course, adulthood in the universe doesn't mean eighteen years old."

"A Domain Lord Level being has a lifespan of one hundred eras, which is a million years. How could a Long-Lived Species possibly reach adulthood in only twenty years?"

"Speaking of which, exactly how many times the Genetic Level do the Manka People have? They reach the Domain Lord Level upon adulthood. Even the Tianlang Clan of the Demon Race, with a 6x Genetic Level, only reaches the Domain Lord Level as adults."

Jiang Zhe scratched his head, recalling this unreasonable little inconsistency from the original story.

"But one thing is certain: the Genetic Level of the Manka People is definitely lower than that of the Tianlang Clan."

Leaving the Inner World.

Jiang Zhe sat on the sofa in the Five Hearts to Heaven posture and attempted to cultivate Gene Primordial Energy.

Once he began, he could not stop.

Because it felt too good!

When cultivating in the past, he had to put effort into drawing in Cosmic Energy. Those colorless energies filling heaven and earth were like aloof goddesses, utterly disdainful of his shabby body.

Now that his bloodline had improved, the ugly duckling had instantly become a white swan. Cosmic Energy swarmed toward him like an eager lapdog. The roles had truly reversed.

His first cultivation session after the bloodline evolution lasted from morning until nightfall. More than seven full hours passed before the cells in his body neared saturation.

And that was without using a Guiding Technique.

"A high bloodline really lets you do whatever you want!" Jiang Zhe could not help sighing.

But another doubt arose in his mind. "In my current state, would the Guiding Techniques on Earth still be effective?"

"I'll go pester Second Brother again tomorrow. I don't have anything left to learn right now, so it's about time he gave me a Guiding Technique. I should also choose a Core Classic and settle on my Primary Weapon."

That was right. The growth plan Jiang Zhe had set for himself was still to temporarily follow the Martial Warrior Path.

What?

I'm also a Psychic Master?

Wasn't that just for one awakening to raise your basic physical qualities, widen the gap against your peers, and then bully weaklings in the early stages?

Besides, it was a money-burning profession. You needed good Psychic Weapons and matching secret arts to perfectly unleash your full strength.

Could Psychic Masters even make it on Earth without joining the Yunmo Star Sect?

At this stage, Earth's Psychic Masters only controlled flying daggers to ambush people. What was there worth learning about that?

With a thought from Jiang Zhe, the six gel pens in the pen holder abruptly floated into the air. Their tips pointed downward as they shot toward the rosewood desk at extreme speed.

After a neat series of impacts, countless fragments scattered in every direction.

Yet none of them flew far before being firmly restrained in midair by an invisible force, including droplets of pitch-black ink.

Jiang Zhe used Psychic Power to guide them into the trash can.

"Sixfold Psychic Power Amplitude!"

"That means I can control six flying daggers at once and unleash all of their power."

"To have mastered my talent this well right from the Starting Point... There are special reasons related to me personally. I remained conscious while Earth nurtured and transformed me, so I have a clear understanding of the essence of matters involving the soul. Beyond that, the Divine Crystal definitely also deserves credit for transforming my soul... No, it should be something deeper—my true spirit, and the transformation of my true spirit."

"So there's no rush in cultivating as a Psychic Master. Illusionist or Controller—one of the two. I'll decide based on opportunity."

After planning the future path of his Psychic Master profession, Jiang Zhe turned his gaze back to the present.

"Enhance Life Gene Level, increase Strength Amplification, and cultivate to the Planetary Level. These are the three most important things right now."

"Hmm... The last one can be crossed out. Those who know, know."

"Then my main tasks are stirring up trouble to find fights and figuring out Force Amplification Techniques. I have to go to the Wilderness Zone..."

The moment Jiang Zhe thought about Force Amplification Techniques, his head began to ache.

"Earth's martial warriors have gone down the wrong path, and I don't have money to buy high-end secret arts in the universe. Most World Masters can't even achieve a hundredfold Strength Amplification."

"I still need to find a way to fleece that beginner gift pack, Barabata."

"Barabata... On second thought, I have my own advantage. There's no need to ruin Luo Feng's opportunity. At the very least, I don't want that Legacy Soul Imprint."

"Most importantly, I have secrets. It wouldn't be suitable for me to partner with Barabata."

"For now, I'll figure it out on my own. Even taking the wrong path is better than standing still. Once I encounter Power Emission Techniques from the universe, I can analyze their principles, refine my own secret art, correct its flaws, and deduce it to a higher level."

"With my comprehension, accomplishing that isn't wishful thinking."

"If even an ordinary genius like Molo could do it, there's no reason I can't."

"Interesting. The two of us can both be considered part of the Xingyi Style."

Damn it, I split up a long chapter and missed the deadline.

Meow, if I miss more than four days of updates during the New Book Period, I won't qualify for full attendance rewards. I'm one step closer to danger.

Brothers, send a couple of Monthly Passes and make a few investments to comfort me.
