Golden Human Life Blueprint - Wuxian Seat!
However... before achieving the World Master level, an Inner World could not store external objects!
Take the Golden Horn Beast as an example. Any external object entering its Inner World had only two possible outcomes—either it would be broken down and become nourishment for the Inner World's growth, or it would burst the Inner World apart, killing the Golden Horn Beast.
That tree, that stone table, that axe... their existence clearly defied common sense.
While Jiang Zhe stood there in a daze, the others merely assumed he was disappointed at having failed to awaken Psychic Power.
Jiang Wen, who had remained silent the whole time, spoke up to comfort him. "It seems you just haven't awakened yet. There's no need to be upset, Little Zhe. Data has shown that the later a Psychic Master awakens, the better their talent tends to be."
His aunt Jiang Chengcheng also said, "After you fainted, your grandfather and eldest uncle set off for the Tai River shoreline to see if they could find an unlucky Taihe Carp Dragon. They'll kill it and use its Heart Blood to make Bloodwine for you. Once you become a Pre-Martial Warrior and can cultivate Gene Primordial Energy, the Bloodwine will help improve your physical fitness. Your Psychic Power will definitely awaken soon after."
"Bloodwine? Dragon Blood?" Jiang Zhe asked in surprise. His family could make such a treasure?
"No, they're different."
Jiang Wu shook his head and explained to Jiang Zhe in his deep, muffled voice, "The ingredients used to make the Dragon Blood sold by Limit Martial Hall aren't the Heart Blood of king-level Dragon Beasts. All the great families know that perfectly well. Other people can spread rumors all they want, but it would be humiliating for the Jiang Family to blindly repeat them."
Jiang Zhe nodded. He knew this secret.
He had even heard that the Heart Blood of king-level Dragon Beasts might be more effective than "Dragon Blood."
But king-level Dragon Beasts were difficult to kill, and there were not enough of them for humanity to slaughter for materials.
Jiang Wu continued, "Our family's Bloodwine was modified from an ancient formula. The main ingredient must at least be the Heart Blood of a Lord-Tier Dragon Beast. Its medicinal effect is far inferior to 'Dragon Blood,' and it only works on warriors below the War God Level, but there's plenty of it. It's a renewable Cultivation Resource."
"Hehe, I'll get to benefit from Little Zhe too. If Grandpa and the others really manage to hunt a Taihe Carp Dragon, I'll receive a portion of Bloodwine at the Elite Training Camp of Thunderbolt Martial Hall as well. Then I can advance to a high-level Battle General faster and compete for more Cultivation Resources."
Jiang Wu grinned foolishly and scratched his head.
After chatting for a while longer and telling Jiang Zhe to rest well, they left.
His aunt and Jiang Wen went to handle the Jiang Family's business affairs.
Jiang Wu and Jiang Sisi returned to the Inherited Martial Hall—the Alloy Tower where he had tested his strength earlier—to continue practicing martial arts.
The atmosphere among the various branches of the Jiang Family was harmonious. There was no filthy intrigue or scheming, and they truly deserved the title of an Ancient Martial Arts Family. Nearly every man and woman in the clan was obsessed with martial arts.
The family's training system was also unique. The worst member of every generation would manage the family business and earn Cultivation Resources for the others.
"My aunt's cultivation talent isn't poor, but she lost out because of her age. Father and Eldest Uncle refused to give way, claiming that girls should enjoy life and that the fighting and killing of a warrior's life didn't suit a Jiang Family princess..."
"I'm the youngest of the third generation, so I should have been in the most danger."
"But after learning that I might possess Psychic Master Talent, my eldest brother Jiang Wen didn't wait for the coming-of-age match between the third generation. He said that stock investment was his hobby and volunteered to be the person responsible for the family business among our generation."
Jiang Zhe shook his head, feeling that this was not good.
Since everyone had warrior talent, they should all obediently practice martial arts.
Once Earth connected with the universe, they could outsource such trivial matters as business management, or simply abandon them altogether.
After seeing them out of the small courtyard, Jiang Zhe sent someone to ask the steward for a high-definition camera, then carried it into the study of his side room.
"For the past sixteen years, I'd been planning how to thrive amid the great changes to come..."
"Today, my cheat has arrived. Combined with my Psychic Master Talent, I may be able to participate in the Talent War and enter the core ranks of the Virtual Universe Corporation. That would completely change the family's fate!"
With those thoughts in mind, Jiang Zhe locked the study door from the inside and drew all the curtains.
After setting up the camera in the middle of the room, Jiang Zhe walked before the lens and used his thoughts to connect with the "Original Core" suspended in his Crimson Palace, intending to enter it.
Then, the camera recorded a bizarre scene. A living person vanished into thin air right before its lens.
Jiang Zhe's consciousness swayed.
When his vision cleared, he had entered a strange place.
Within an area of nearly a hundred square meters stood an ancient tree, a stone table, an axe... it was the Grotto-Heaven World where his consciousness had descended earlier.
Or, in the terminology of this world, an "Inner World"!
"This feeling... I can see it!"
After entering the Inner World, Jiang Zhe followed an inexplicable connection and sensed a boundless, mysterious space filled with mist. At its center floated a dark golden sphere.
"As expected, it's the Original Core. With an Inner World, the soul and the Psychic Power attached to it are both stored within the Original Core."
"As long as my Original Core isn't shattered, there won't be any vital points on my body!"
"My head! My heart! Neither is important anymore!"
This was a major transformation in his life form, and Jiang Zhe was thrilled.
Rubbing his hands together, he walked to the stone table and picked up the axe on it. It did not feel particularly heavy, only around a dozen pounds.
"A tree-chopping game? Loot drops? Let me see your limits!"
He raised the Woodcutting Axe and hacked it into the thick trunk, which was over a meter in diameter. The powerful blow sank the axe blade two or three centimeters into the wood, leaving a gash nearly twenty centimeters wide.
Once he pulled out the blade, a Golden Light Mass popped out from the wound in the trunk.
Then Jiang Zhe felt the axe in his hand suddenly become enormously heavy. He could no longer lift it, and it slipped from his hand to the ground before flying back to the stone table by itself.
"So I only get one chance to chop the tree for now?"
Jiang Zhe stroked his chin in thought.
He did not dwell on it. Bending down, he picked up the basketball-sized Golden Light Mass that had fallen to the ground.
The instant his fingertips touched it, the golden light vanished, revealing a stack of Golden Leaf Pages within. Their style resembled the memorials emperors reviewed in television dramas from his Past Life.
When he unfolded them, the pages were covered in tiny writing and five especially conspicuous sketches of human bodies.
Inside the outlines of the human figures were varying numbers of points—three, ten, twenty-two... increasing from left to right.
"'Golden Human Life Blueprint - Wuxian Seat'?"
It was a special secret art. Jiang Zhe read aloud the name written above the five Diagrams.
Life Blueprint?
The keyword triggered a long-buried memory in Jiang Zhe's mind.
To break through to True God on the Divine Power Path, what one needed to study was... something called Life Structure Diagrams?
To raise one's Life Gene Level to one hundred thousand times!
Jiang Zhe stared at the leaf pages with burning eyes and hurriedly read their contents, hoping this was a secret art similar to the Nine Tribulations Secret Art.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes...
Gradually, Jiang Zhe's hands began to tremble as he held the leaf pages, and his breathing grew rapid.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Zhe carefully closed the pages, gingerly placed them on the stone table, and let out a long breath to calm his surging emotions.
Excited!
He was too excited!
The secret art recorded on the leaf pages truly could help its practitioner Enhance Life Gene Level. Cultivating the fifth diagram would raise one's Life Gene Level to 1,810 times!
Another Nine Tribulations Secret Art?
No, that alone would not have made Jiang Zhe this excited.
The most terrifying part was that it could pass the Life Gene Multiplier down through inheritance!
Using this Life Blueprint, Jiang Zhe could create an entirely new race—the royal family of the Human Race, similar to the Sky Wolf of the demon race, which was born with a sixfold Genetic Level.
After cultivating the first diagram, he would reach a threefold Genetic Level, and any children born to him would likewise possess a natural threefold Genetic Level.
Of course, even if he cultivated the second, third, or later diagrams, his children would still only have a threefold multiplier. Any higher, and the Primal Universe's laws would probably forcibly sterilize him.
Only after Jiang Zhe had firmly memorized the cultivation method for the first diagram did he leave the Inner World.
He did not dare take the stack of Golden Leaf Pages outside, fearing that the Primal Universe might destroy them. They were his initial capital for rising in this world.
Before leaving, Jiang Zhe tried picking up the axe again, but he still could not lift it.
"I wonder when I'll get another chance to chop the tree?"
Back in the study, Jiang Zhe reappeared in the room, opened the curtains, unlocked the door, and sat behind the desk to replay the footage.
After his figure suddenly vanished in the recording, Jiang Zhe zoomed in as far as possible without distorting the image.
At last, he could vaguely make out a point of light around one or two millimeters in size floating where his chest had been.
That was his Original Core!
When his body entered the Inner World, the Original Core was completely exposed to the air. At that moment, if an external force shattered it, he would die immediately!
"Unless I'm certain the surroundings are absolutely safe, I can't enter the Inner World and expose my Original Core to the outside world."
"Luo Feng's situation is much more ideal."
"Before becoming a World Master, he has three bodies, each capable of carrying an Original Core. Two clones can hide within the Inner World. If he wants to see what's inside, he can simply shift his consciousness to one of the clones."
Thinking of Luo Feng's opportunities dampened Jiang Zhe's joy considerably, and he could not help sighing.
"When will I have clones too?"
"In this world, it's really hard to get by without clones. My Life Preservation Ability is poor, and I don't receive any extra benefits when Comprehending Laws either..."
"A Shu! A Fu!"
"Can you hear my thoughts? Let me see your limits!"
After destroying the camera, Jiang Zhe read in the study for a while.
From the Tao Te Ching to the Nanhua Sutra, then the Chongxu Sutra, none of them could soothe his restless emotions. In the end, he tossed the Sage Scriptures he once cherished aside.
"Let's go practice at the Inherited Martial Hall!"
"First, I'll become a Pre-Martial Warrior and gain the ability to cultivate Gene Primordial Energy. Then I'll meet the requirements to cultivate the first diagram of the 'Life Blueprint.'"
In my setting, the "Life Blueprint" is different from the "Nine Tribulations Secret Art."
If readers don't want to examine it too closely, it's fine to treat it as the "Nine Tribulations Secret Art."
But if you do examine it closely, the "Nine Tribulations Secret Art" constructs an inner universe and drives the evolution of one's Life Level. Any living being can cultivate it after obtaining it, and as long as the gene multiplier is high enough, one can charge directly toward perfect genes.
The "Life Blueprint," on the other hand, changes one's genetic bloodline and directly creates a new race within the Primal Universe. That race is called the Golden Humans.
If a member of the Human Race with a bloodline like the Sky Wolf's, naturally possessing a sixfold multiplier, cultivated the "Life Blueprint," completing the first diagram would not turn them into a 3 × 6 = 18-fold Genetic Level. Instead, it would alter their bloodline race—like turning a white person into a black person—and their Life Level would fall to threefold before rising layer by layer—10, 22, 181, 1,810.
Before starting this book, I carefully reread the original work several times and made a huge number of notes on my iPad. I hope everyone enjoys it!
