Chapter 821 - 150: Chen Youjia's Breakthrough, Two Case Studies

Chen Youjia was sitting in the courtyard. Around her body, a simple array had already been set up. The significance of this array was to stabilize the Spiritual Energy and propel the change in Mana.

For this step, Chen Youjia had been preparing for a long time.

Her mind sank, deeper and deeper, until it descended into the depths of her Soul, mobilizing all the Mana within her body. She seemed to be at the bottom of some "funnel," with endless Spiritual Energy descending from the void beyond the heavens, crossing the Qi Vein River and pouring into her body. The Mana which had long been suppressed made great strides forward once again. Soon, it reached a point where the girl's petite frame could no longer contain it.

When the blue-green Mana began to overflow outside of Chen Youjia's body, the transformation began.

Then, the Omen belonging to her appeared.

Chen Youjia's breakthrough was much simpler than Wang Qi's. What she was now activating was solely the cultivation method of the Heavenly Position Technique, hence her Omen was solely an Omen of the Heavenly Position Technique.

The black and white Yin and Yang energies gathered, separated, and then scattered into countless Yin Yang Yao above Chen Youjia's head. Within her acupoints, countless "Heavenly Position Axes" extended out, functioning as number axes. In that instant, Chen Youjia's figure blurred for a moment. That was the cultivation method of the Heavenly Position Technique arranging space, defining space, and transforming into the Xiangyu Heavenly Position Technique. Then, like ink spreading in water, the Yin Yang Yao gradually dissolved into space, quickly covering Chen Youjia's figure in black and white.

Xiangyu Heavenly Position was about to form.

"Jarvis! Begin!"

Wang Qi spoke, issuing the command. The calculator on his shoulder suddenly lit up. Under Jarvis's control, countless Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles circled around Chen Youjia. Their mouths released intense Spirit Light, infusing their Spirit Sense into Chen Youjia's body.

These Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles propelled Chen Youjia's second cultivation method.

The Heavenly Calculation Atlas and the Heavenly Position Technique operated in parallel within Chen Youjia's body without contradiction. Chen Youjia could feel the somewhat unfamiliar power within her body, under the impetus of an external force, turning into mighty rivers, flowing throughout her body. This process was as natural as the water cycle, requiring no distraction or control from her.

She changed hand mnemonics, forming seals with both hands, and then pressed downward. The cultivation method of the Heavenly Position Technique within her body abruptly changed from outward expansion to inward contraction. Countless operators naturally arose and perished, continuously optimizing themselves, finally converging towards her Dantian.

Then, the Thunderbolt appeared.

As if sensing the change in the Heavenly Position Technique, the Heavenly Calculation Atlas within her also began to change. The second Omen then manifested.

White essence light split into two streams, like two giant dragons intertwining, straightening upwards. Forming a classical double helix structure, it was the Life Chain that had evolved over billions of years.

This was the cultivation method Wang Qi chose for Chen Youjia, completely replicating Ai Qinglan's Golden Core.

Ai Qinglan's path was "genetic information compiling," and this cultivation method could also rely on pure mathematical interpretation.

This was the result of Wang Qi's deep contemplation.

Although it wasn't as powerful as the Omen which once spanned the sky during Ai Qinglan's year, it was definitely not weak.

The distance between the two bands of white light began to shorten. At the bottom of this double helix, at Chen Youjia's brow, a Virtual Pill slowly took shape. Then, as if twisted into a Bloodline Root [chromosome] and expressed into Life Source Material [protein], that already highly condensed double helix chain quickly folded in a peculiar manner into that Virtual Pill. Then, as if entirely without substance, the Virtual Pill sank into Chen Youjia's brow, progressing along her meridians, soon entering the real pill formed by the Heavenly Position Technique.

One real, one virtual, one as hardware, one as software. This was the true subtlety of the Virtual and Real Two-Phase Golden Core.

Succeeding to this step was still quite easy.

But Chen Youjia knew that the real test had only just begun.

According to Wang Qi, at the moment the Golden Core truly settled into the Dantian, the Mana system would undergo a major upheaval. Then, at that moment, she could attempt to insert her thinking organ—the Soul—into this process.

The Dataized Cultivation Method itself had the ability to "record." During this process, her Consciousness data would also permeate into the dataized Cultivation Method's system.

So far, only Wang Qi had ever achieved this, and that was only with the help of Mi. Whether she could achieve it, or to what extent she could, was anyone's guess.

Then, Chen Youjia felt the backlash of distracting thoughts…

"Ugh…"

The three people watching from outside also felt the wavering Qi Intent around Chen Youjia. Wang Qi clenched his fists, thinking to himself: "Come on… keep it up, Junior Sister."

Then, the black and white mist around Chen Youjia dissipated, and the girl reappeared.

"What is this…" The girl looked at the green light in her hands in confusion.

Chen Feng walked over, staring into Chen Youjia's eyes, and called out: "Youjia, look into my eyes."

After Chen Youjia looked over, a white light gradually lit up in Chen Feng's eyes. Formless and invisible Spiritual Power surged from his eyes, rolling towards Chen Youjia.

Unexpectedly, a sharp light suddenly flashed in Chen Youjia's eyes, and Chen Feng felt like his head was pushed by someone, swaying slightly.

Chen Youjia frowned: "Are you okay?"

The incident just now wasn't initiated by her; it was a passive defense of the Mana System. She didn't even know how powerful that last defense was.

"No problem." Chen Feng waved his hand. He and Chen Youjia are at the same Realm, especially skilled in the Soul Domain. If he couldn't withstand even Chen Youjia's subconscious passive defense, he wouldn't be able to keep up at all.

—Of course, Wang Qi hoped he couldn't withstand it. If that were the case, his cultivation method would have no need for validation or promotion. The mere notion that "anyone can harden their Soul Domain against Yangshen Pavilion at the same level after cultivation" is a gimmick.

Chen Youjia opened up her mind again. Soon, Chen Feng channeled his Spiritual Sense into Chen Youjia's eyes, probing the state of her mind. Then, he let out a sigh of relief: "It's completely fine."

Wang Qi squinted: "I feel like your sigh has some deeper meaning."

"After all, it's a cultivation method you developed. Normal people know to be a little cautious, right?" Chen Feng casually retorted: "I wouldn't be surprised if Youjia went crazy on the spot."

"In your eyes, am I that suspicious?"

This time, not just Chen Feng and Su Junyu, even Chen Youjia and the onlooker Mi nodded. Especially Mi, whose cute little head was nodding so vigorously it was almost a blur.

Wang Qi was dumbfounded: "It's one thing for others to say this, but Senior Sister, you... you can't be like this! That mishap last time was clearly your doing—no, that proposal was clearly suggested by you!"

Su Junyu asked Chen Feng: "Speaking of which, how is the situation?"

"Divine Separation Sense Transformation, the Primordial Spirit path is stable." Chen Feng said: "This cultivation method indeed has some merit."

Chen Youjia inquired: "Divine Separation Sense Transformation? Not Unity of Magic and Self?"

Chen Feng shrugged: "Regrettably, no. When my Spiritual Sense entered your body, it was significantly disturbed, making it difficult to pinpoint the Soul. If it were Unity of Magic and Self, my Spiritual Sense would be shredded and assimilated by the inherent thoughts in the Mana upon entering your body, making it impossible to determine your current mental state." At this point, Chen Feng took a deep look at Wang Qi: "This is why I've been unable to confirm whether this guy is crazy."

"Your skills are lacking, quite lacking." Wang Qi appeared emotionally distressed: "I mean, can't you judge a person's spirit just by their behavior?"

"Oh, then you must be crazy." Chen Feng answered without thinking.

Wang Qi recalled another question and asked Chen Youjia: "Speaking of which, have you grasped Senior Sister Ai's Divine Skills? Life Flame and Vein Spirit Root."

Chen Youjia extended a hand, palm glowing with a touch of white light. Even Wang Qi felt it; this was merely the Lower Divine Power of the Life Flame. Chen Youjia continued: "I can use Vein Spirit Root, but due to insufficient understanding of Bloodline Root, I can't recreate various odd magic."

Su Junyu glanced at Chen Youjia, extended a hand, and said: "Junior Sister, please engage."

"Please engage" means the private exchange between two cultivators using techniques. This method engages Mana in combat rather than Daoist skills. Besides exchanging cultivation insights, cultivators rarely use this quirky method for sparring nowadays.

Chen Youjia nodded, placing a slender hand on Su Junyu's fist. Then, both exerted force, channeling Mana to clash. There was no sound or Spirit Light, completing the sparring silently.

Su Junyu raised his fist before him, then gave a thumbs up: "Not bad, not bad."

Previously, he and Chen Youjia had stirred similar Mana with a gentle clash. As a result, he felt a powerful Qi Intent. This Qi Intent was as condensed as substance, instantly dispersing his Spiritual Sense and Mana, akin to the Martial Arts Fist Intent skillfully executed by a seasoned Martial Cultivator.

Divine Separation Sense Transformation implies that Mana can be used like Martial Arts Fist Intent or Sword Intent. This method of overwhelming the enemy's spirit through sheer force is not uncommon.

"Seems your cultivation method has great potential! Then, I'll give it a try when I have the chance."

Seeing Su Junyu willing to try it, Wang Qi was overjoyed. However, he also made a disclaimer first: "Senior Brother, since you've already formed a Golden Core, forming a Virtual Pill may not achieve the evolutionary effect of the Life System, meaning you may not experience the 'Mana System Stirring' process. Divine Separation Sense Transformation happens at this stage, using Virtual Pill to bear data for consciousness—meaning you may not reach the stage of Divine Separation Sense Transformation."

Su Junyu pointed at Chen Youjia: "Actually, I think reaching Junior Sister Chen's level wouldn't be bad."

Chen Youjia, as per Wang Qi's planned agenda, was testing her control over Spirit Transmission Mechanism, calculator, and other Immortal Dao Technology Products. Initially, she was somewhat unfamiliar with this ability. But soon, she adeptly commanded the Mechanical Beast pre-arranged by Wang Qi.

"Speaking of which, whose Golden Core design are you planning to use? Senior Sister Ai's?"

"That's quite flexible. But..." Su Junyu rubbed his hands, looking very much the cunning merchant: "Junior Brother Chen, can you get me some Divine Skills? The ones from Yangshen Pavilion, with the effect of penetrating people's hearts? Money is not an issue."

"It's possible." Chen Feng, not intending to exploit Su Junyu, showed some difficulty, saying: "But our Yangshen Pavilion's essence lies in Illusion Technique, and for this, mere Mathematics might be hard to replicate..."

"I only want the heart-penetrating ones!"

About half a month passed, and Su Junyu also formed a Virtual Pill.

With these two examples, Wang Qi submitted his report to Feng Luoyi.
