Chapter 90: Guidance

This was indeed a rare opportunity. Lin Feng naturally would not miss it. He was just organizing his words. Having organizing his thoughts, he asked the Invincible Fist Sage, “Dean, it seems impossible to attain your level just by awakening innate abilities after breaking the genetic lock and continuing to train the body.”

Lin Feng was already being very “tactful”, but he was indeed very puzzled. Even if he continued to train his body and unearthed the power deep within his genes, how could he reach the level of the Invincible Fist Sage?

He wielded almost world-destroying power in a simple gesture. This was too unbelievable, and exceeded Lin Feng’s current understanding.

For example, perhaps a person could lift things that weighed hundreds of kilograms through training, but it was absolutely impossible for them to lift a planet through training.

This was not a concept at all, nor could it be explained by a so-called “miracle.”

The Invincible Fist Sage smiled and said, “Not bad, not bad. You have the insight to realize this question. Then let me ask you, how did you feel after breaking the genetic lock?”

“Feel? It probably felt very powerful. My body felt like a treasure trove from which potential can be constantly unearthed. However, no matter how great the potential is, it can’t reach your level.”

Indeed, this was Lin Feng’s feeling. Although the power after breaking the genetic lock was very strong, it seemed to be completely different from the kind of power wielded by the Invincible Fist Sage. The two were incomparable.

“Very good. It’s impressive that you’ve thought of these. Actually, these are just general knowledge. You can ask any inhuman expert. Since you asked, I’ll say a few more words.

“The human body is indeed a treasure trove, but how do we unearth this treasure trove? We can rely on martial arts to train in the early stages Otherwise, some crude methods of training that strengthen the body are also fine and can also break the genetic lock. But what about after?

“When we broke the genetic lock, our lives were sublimated. It was actually a transition of life. There are multiple genetic locks in a person’s body that can be broken continuously. Every time it’s broken is a transition of life.

“It’s easy to break the genetic lock once, but it’s not easy to break it twice, thrice, or even four times. At this point, we need to absorb Astral Power. Do you see the sky? As everyone knows, there’s a layer of Canopy above us. This invisible Canopy appears to be restricting us, preventing us from stepping into the stars, but isn’t it protecting us as well? We do not know what lies beyond the stars, but at least with the protection of the Canopy, we can absorb Astral Power without worrying about what’s messed up within the Astral Power.

“By absorbing the power of the stars, we condense our own Astral Power, and from there, we can continue to break the genetic lock and complete the transition of life. Since ancient times, we have classified every time we break the genetic lock and complete the transition of life into several detailed cultivation realms.

“The first time we break the genetic lock and our lives undergoes a transition, we call it the Metamorphic Realm. It means that we are slowly metamorphosing and becoming distinguished from mortals.

“The second time that we break the genetic lock and our life undergoes the second transition, the essence of life would be already different from that of ordinary people. The various abilities could be considered akin to that of gods in ancient legends, so it is also known as the Divine Realm. Before the technological boom, there were many myths and legends. Many of those were actually legends left behind by some initial cultivators who broke the genetic lock twice. Deities really existed, but they were just cultivators who broke the genetic lock twice.

“As for the third time we break the genetic lock, before the technological boom, there were actually very, very few people who broke the genetic lock. The number of people in the entire world could be counted on one hand. Normally, after they appeared, they could become the hegemons of an era. Having undergone three life transitions, we call it the Meta-divine Realm!

“As for breaking the genetic lock for the fourth time, and the fourth life transition, this almost never happened in the ancient times before the technological boom. Even if some prophets had predicted it, no one had actually attained it. Only after the technological boom, when humans gained a deeper understanding of their own bodies, and with the support of technology and research on some powerful dire beasts, did we finally break the genetic lock for the fourth time. This would be the Sage Realm.”

Lin Feng listened very carefully, but he was already deeply shaken.

He was shocked, extremely so!

Although in modern society, technology was advanced, and there were all kinds of information on the Internet, Lin Feng had never heard of the cultivation realms above breaking the genetic lock that the Invincible Fist Sage had mentioned.

There wasn’t even any information online.

What did this mean? It meant that this information was definitely classified online.

It turned out that breaking the genetic lock was only the beginning of cultivation. If one wanted to reach the level of the Invincible Fist Sage, one had to undergo four life transitions and break the genetic lock four times.

How difficult was this?

“Dean, you’re in the Sage Realm. What is above the Sage Realm?’

Lin Feng was also very curious. People had only reached the Sage Realm after the technological boom. Then, what came after the Sage Realm?

The Invincible Fist Sage shook his head and said, “I don’t know what comes after the Sage Realm either. Perhaps there are more profound realms, or perhaps there aren’t. All of this requires someone to take a new path, to break the genetic lock five times and complete life transitions five times, before it can be confirmed. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. You should complete the metamorphosis of your body properly first.’

“Dean, how can I absorb the Astral Power?”

“These are just the most basic knowledge. Once you choose to join

Myriad Academy, you will naturally receive guidance on cultivation.

By the way, if you want to continue practicing Nonuple Body Tempering, you can join the Myriad Academy. Only the inhuman experts of Myriad Academy are qualified to purchase content above the third level of Nonuple Body Tempering.” “Haven’t I already joined the Myriad Academy?”

Lin Feng was a little startled. He was a current student of the Myriad Academy.

“Haha, of course Myriad Academy welcomes you. However, the other factions wouldn’t see it that way. You can just ask Long Duo about the exact situation when you have the time. After all, you broke the genetic lock under his jurisdiction. All right, let’s call it a day. Little fellow, I have high hopes for you. I hope that when we meet again, you can complete the second transition of life and reach the Divine Realm!”

With that, the Invincible Fist Sage stood up. As a prestigious Sage, it was already generous of him to answer these few questions from Lin Feng, and it was Lin Feng’s luck.

After all, even Meta-divine experts might not be able to receive the guidance of the Invincible Fist Sage.

“Lord Sage, the results of the experiment are out. There are new discoveries.”

A researcher rushed over from the laboratory and said excitedly.

“All right, let’s go in and take a look.”

At the same time, Chief Commander Long Duo, who was dealing with the aftermath of the battlefield outside the city, also rushed to the laboratory. It seemed that the laboratory researcher had also sent him a message.

The Invincible Fist Sage said indifferently, “Long Duo, let’s go in together.”

Long Duo nodded with a solemn expression. The research results of the research institute were of great importance. Even though the parasitic dire beasts outside the city had been eliminated, if they could not find the method of parasitism and the parasitic pathway, this war could not be considered a complete victory..
