"I can't obtain pure Yin and Yang Qi, but there's something that contains Yin and Yang Qi!"
Needless to say, this was the thunderbolt that Lin Yao had been relying on!
In a flash of inspiration, Lin Yao thought of many things. In order to make the best use of this effect, he even removed the brain domain limiter. He was prepared to think things through even if he could not develop his brain domain today.
"Thunder was very special in ancient times. It was not one of the five elements of heaven and earth. Legend has it that thunder was born from the intersection of Yin and Yang, the collision of positive and negative energies. According to this legend, thunder originally contained Yin and Yang … No, this is the product of the intersection of Yin and Yang."
"Moreover, in ancient times, thunder did not only represent the convergence of Yin and Yang in the world, but it also contained the meaning of creation. When spring thunder boomed, all living things would come to life. This represented a layer of creation. When demons encountered the Thunder Tribulation, this was also a layer of creation. When mortals experienced the Thunder Tribulation, their Primordial Spirits would turn into Yang. When Ghost Immortals underwent nine Thunder Tribulations to become True Immortals, this all meant that thunder contained the power of creation."
"The Heaven and Earth Furnace is an ancient Dao formula. Thunder was also known as Heaven's Punishment in ancient times. It is the embodiment of Heaven's Will. Could the Heaven and Earth Furnace be used to refine one's body with thunder?"
Since thunderbolt and the Heaven and Earth Furnace were too compatible, Lin Yao even had the idea that the Heaven and Earth Furnace used thunderbolt to temper its body.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head and rejected this idea. A world that could produce a Heaven and Earth Furnace and a Dharma Idol world must be vast and boundless. There must be more than one item that contained the power of yin and yang. The word 'heaven and earth' encompassed all things, so describing the Heaven and Earth Furnace as a lightning body refinement was a little narrow-minded.
However, there was one thing that Lin Yao was sure of. The spring thunder, which represented the convergence of yin and yang in heaven and earth and represented the revival of all living things, could be used as firewood to practice the Heaven and Earth Furnace!
At the thought of this, Lin Yao, whose eyes lit up, did not hesitate to experiment according to his idea.
"Heaven and Earth Furnace, let's build a furnace first!"
With a thought, he drew the electric current from the cable out of his body, creating a semicircular thunder furnace outside his body.
What made Lin Yao frown was that the advantage of the swiftness of the thunderbolt had become a hindrance at this time. The lightning that flashed and disappeared in a flash was too difficult to control. The thunder furnace that was formed was crooked and flickered from time to time, as if … No, the electric current had been cut off.
"That won't do."
Lin Yao frowned, and the Thunderbolt Mark on his forehead kept flashing. With the help of the Thunderbolt Mark, which contained the power of the law, the tamed electric current finally formed the shape of a furnace. At this point, Lin Yao … did not know what to do.
He really had no idea. If he had used other attributes, such as flames or water, after forming the furnace, he would have used those attributes to calcine or wash himself to achieve the effect of tempering his body. However, he had been constantly stimulated by the electric current, so he did not need to do that.
Although the thunder furnace appeared around him, it had no effect on Lin Yao. Obviously, it was useless to create a furnace.
"What should I do next? Or should I say that I'm cultivating the Heaven and Earth Furnace Mantra by receiving the electric current stimulation?"
Confusion arose in Lin Yao's heart. Right now, he had a slight understanding of the feelings of the higher-ups of the Heaven and Earth Dojo. He knew some of the descriptions of the techniques and was delighted that they were powerful. However, he did not know the specific steps and could only explore it slowly. This was messing with his mentality.
Just as he was frowning and thinking hard, a terrified voice rang out beside him.
"Furnace!"
Many people had seen Lin Yao's operation while he was building the thunder furnace. Those who did not know about the Heaven and Earth Furnace were speechless when they discovered that Lin Yao had not screamed when he was undergoing electric current development. Instead, he had created a lightning furnace. The surrounding thunder geniuses who were undergoing development were envious that Lin Yao was still in the mood to do this during development.
However, this was the University of Monster Science and Technology, and there were many knowledgeable people here. Some people thought of something when they saw Lin Yao's furnace. Among them, Lin Yao was particularly shocked by a familiar voice.
"Lin Yao, tell me, who allowed you to enter the Heaven and Earth Dojo?"
"This voice …" Lin Yao turned his head and was surprised to see that his senior sister from Ninghai City had actually come over. "Senior Sister Jiang Rong, why are you here?"
"This is my alma mater, and this research institute is where I work. Why can't I come over … This is not the time to talk about this. Tell me, who allowed you to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Furnace Mantra?"
Anger and anxiety appeared on Senior Sister Jiang Rong's face. His brain, which had been enlightened by the Bodhi Tree, allowed Lin Yao to understand why she was worried after some thought. His heart warmed, and he quickly said, "No one tempted me. I wanted to learn this myself."
"Replace it, now!" Upon seeing that Lin Yao was unmoved, she became even more anxious. "Ah Yao, listen to me. Although these techniques seem very powerful, no one has succeeded in cultivating them. Too many geniuses have failed. My third uncle was a king-level genius back then, but he did not succeed. If you fail to cultivate an incomplete technique, you will be finished!"
Senior Sister Jiang Rong's worries were very reasonable, but Lin Yao could not replace this technique. He had taken a fancy to the Heaven and Earth Manifestation. This superpower was the top ability in any world, and it could help him gain a foothold in dangerous situations.
In fact, if it had not been for the loud noise in the sky, Lin Yao would not have been so radical. He might have practiced step by step.
However, this world was not peaceful. Gates of alternate worlds were everywhere, and mysterious lands appeared frequently. More importantly, the fifth spirit energy tide was in progress.
This last reason was the main reason why Lin Yao had made up his mind.
Sometimes, Lin Yao thought that if he did not become enlightened, at least he would not think too much. However, as his mind gradually became more agile, Lin Yao realized that he could no longer be an ostrich.
'It has been 50 years since the Spirit Energy Awakening, but the danger in the first 50 years was not as great as I imagined. It can even be said that the first 50 years were under the control of the major human countries. '
In the past, the Spirit Energy Awakening had not had a great impact on the world, and the changes had only just begun. This statement was somewhat unbelievable, but after thinking about it carefully, one would realize that what Lin Yao had said was true.
'Technological weapons have not become ineffective because of the Spirit Energy Awakening. By relying on technological weapons, the awakened geniuses and the beasts from the alternate world could not pose a major threat to the human government during the first three Spirit Energy Awakenings. All living beings are equal in the face of nuclear bombs, and the technological weapons that have been developed can overwhelm all the demons. The technological weapons are controlled by the government, and the powerful force ensures that there is no major turmoil in the social order (especially in the major countries). Only the freaks can pose a threat to humans.
"The emergence of kings during the fourth spirit energy tide has brought supernatural power and technological power to an equal level. However, nuclear bombs can still threaten kings. At the same time, during the 30 years of the spirit energy recovery, the major human governments have made various responses. They have created loyal martial artist troops and built space-based weapons stations in space. With the addition of the martial artist troops, nuclear bombs, and space-based weapons, some kings who have ulterior motives have not dared to make a move."
'However, it is now the fifth spirit energy tide, and powerhouses above the king level are about to appear. This also means that the extraordinary power has overwhelmed the power of science and technology. It also means that powerful individuals can fight against organizations. Once the disloyal kings advance to a higher level, even if there is only a small portion of them, the world will be divided. '
If one still could not understand, think about it this way. In the X-Men world, would a few more Firemen, Icemen, or even Wolverines have a big impact on the world?
Not really. The ones who could really affect the world were existences like Magneto and Professor X. This was the situation in the world where Lin Yao was located. The difference was that there were more Professor X in China, and there were more existences like Magneto in turbulent places.
During the fifth spirit energy tide, mutants who had awakened the power of the phoenix had appeared. They had the power to change the situation of the world on their own.
Powerful martial artists were not necessarily good. Although major countries had taken precautions in this regard, powerful powerhouses were naturally unwilling to abide by the same laws and regulations as ordinary people.
He was in a situation where chaos was about to rise, not to mention the threat of the alternate world. It was not the freaks, but the hundreds of races and all kinds of beasts in the alternate world.
In the past, with the help of Skynet, nuclear bombs, and space-based weapons, the beasts and the army of the alternate world had not been a problem. However, when powerhouses above the king level entered the Blue Planet, it would be a fatal crisis.
Knowing this, Elder Wei did not look happy when the fifth spirit energy tide arrived and the concentration of spirit energy increased.
Although he had said that the country would deal with it and that the senior officials of China would indeed think of various ways to stabilize the world, Lin Yao was not very optimistic. In fact, even if the government succeeded in the end, there would still be chaos before then.
Lin Yao, who did not want to entrust his fate to others, naturally wanted to find ways to improve himself. The Heaven and Earth Manifestation was Lin Yao's preparation. As long as he mastered it, he would not be afraid of anyone of the same level and would have the confidence to fight beyond his level.
Of course, the existence of the Bodhi Tree also gave Lin Yao the confidence to learn it, which was why he had chosen to learn it.
Since he was confident and needed it, Lin Yao naturally would not listen to Senior Sister Jiang Rong.
"I'm sorry."
"Why won't you listen to me? Too many people have failed to learn these techniques. They were all geniuses and were as confident as you before learning them. However, they have all failed. You are not special!"
"No, I am special."
Lin Yao looked at the Bodhi Tree in his body and thought of the three talents it had provided him, as well as the 2.8 billion yuan that was being used to build the school. He murmured to himself again.
'I am different from others. The bottleneck of cultivating the Heaven and Earth Furnace and the Heaven and Earth Manifestation is at the king level, not the gold level. By then, my Bodhi Tree will at least be able to advance to the king level. These are two advancements that will provide me with two talents in terms of comprehension. My original talent will also be enhanced. With these, I will definitely be able to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Manifestation. '
He had the Tree of Enlightenment but did not dare learn powerful supernatural powers. With such a mentality, he would not be able to become a powerhouse.
Upon seeing Lin Yao's unwavering expression, Senior Sister Jiang Rong looked exhausted.
Feeling helpless and unable to persuade him, she called Professor Li and told him about Lin Yao, hoping that the professor would persuade Lin Yao.
However, something unexpected happened. Professor Li, who was on the other side, looked at Lin Yao with a strange expression on his face. Instead of directly rejecting Lin Yao's learning, Professor Li asked something else. "Did you take the initiative to use Heaven-and-Human Oneness during the battle yesterday?"
"Yes."
"Someone called me just now. Did you have another epiphany at the Heaven and Earth Dojo?"
"Yes."
"Two consecutive epiphanies in two days … I understand. Don't worry and learn. We won't stop you."
"Professor."
Realizing that the professor was not stopping her but agreeing with her, Jiang Rong panicked. However, before she could finish speaking, Professor Li's solemn voice was heard. "Jiang Rong, Lin Yao is different."
"However, no matter how different he is, there will be accidents. Isn't it safer to learn other combat skills?"
"There's no time!"
As soon as he said this, Jiang Rong understood something without the professor saying anything. After all, she was also a genius in terms of intelligence. She could vaguely sense the upcoming turmoil.
She did not remain silent for too long. Professor Li's voice was heard on the other side. "Jiang Rong, I will call your principal later. Then, you will take Lin Yao to Room 13 in my name."
After speaking, Professor Li looked at the irregular thunder and lightning furnace next to Lin Yao and laughed. "Next time, you can discuss thunder with me if you have any research on electricity. I can still be of great help."
Lin Yao did not understand what was in Room 13 at first, but his eyes lit up when he heard Professor Li's words. "Have you also studied the Heaven and Earth Furnace?"
"Of course. I remember telling you that Huaxia used the entire country to research and develop Project Thunder God. Countless scientists, medical experts, and the martial arts of the major sects have all been studied by us. The Heaven and Earth Furnace is no exception. We've also developed something from it."
"Then why don't we popularize it?"
Professor Li did not answer. Instead, he smiled and said, "You will know in a while."
While talking to Professor Li, Jiang Rong followed Professor Li's instructions and took Lin Yao, who had stopped his physical development, to a special room that was heavily sealed.
After entering the room, Lin Yao saw a hollow spherical steel frame placed in the middle of the room.
Upon seeing the spherical steel frame, Lin Yao's Agile Mind told him what it was.
'This is a thunder and lightning furnace made with science and technology. Ah, I'm so stupid. My thinking has been restricted by ancient cultivation methods. I don't need to control thunder and lightning to form a furnace. I just need to make some conductive steel into a ball and input electricity. '
In fact, technology was more convenient than Lin Yao had thought. While he was patting his head in annoyance, Senior Sister Jiang Rong followed Professor Li's instructions and let Lin Yao enter the spherical steel frame. Then, a cable was connected to the spherical device. Lin Yao did not even need to generate electricity himself. All he needed to do was sit down and 'enjoy' it.
After the spherical device was placed and an energy shield was placed outside, Jiang Rong's figure disappeared from the room. Soon, her figure appeared in an observation room next to her, and Professor Li's voice was heard again.
"This is the furnace we made. You have to be careful next. We have studied the Heaven and Earth Furnace Technique and thought that thunder and lightning belong to the power of yin and yang and contain the aura of creation. However, it is useless to simply create a thunder and lightning ring to frame a person. Later, we guessed that electromagnetic waves could strengthen the human body and conducted experiments. After research, we found that the combination of electromagnetic waves of a special frequency with spirit energy can really stimulate the human body to mutate."
At this point, Professor Li's voice did not sound happy. Instead, it became solemn. "However, the mutation is not all benign. The electromagnetic waves of a special frequency have electromagnetic radiation. In order to strengthen the human body, the intensity of the electromagnetic waves will be very strong, and the radiation will be very serious. Have you heard about the Wasteland Science Fiction? There are many deformed humans due to radiation. If your mutation is not benign …"
Professor Li did not finish his sentence, but Lin Yao already understood what he meant. If it was not benign, Lin Yao would be affected by the radiation and his body would be deformed.
'This is also the reason why this research has not been popularized. '
While Lin Yao was thinking about this, a layer of the wall in front of him peeled off, and a screen appeared in front of him. Then, a large number of uncomfortable photos appeared before Lin Yao's eyes.
In the photos, there were humanoid monsters with bodies like toads, lumps, and pus all over their bodies. There were also monsters with bent arms and swollen thighs like big trees. There were even strange things with a large number of eyes and tentacles growing on their bodies … There were all kinds of deformities, and it was daunting.
However, after thinking about it, Lin Yao did not give up.
'Deformities are not scary. I have advanced Light Healing. Even if the body is really deformed, I can still treat it. I can't do it now. When the Celestial Tree advances again, its healing ability will also improve. Besides, I also have Light Adjustment, which can guide the changes in my body in a good direction. '
The deformities of the wasteland era were incurable, but this was the extraordinary era. Lin Yao was willing to give it a try.
Upon seeing the determination in Lin Yao's eyes, Professor Li did not say anything else. He instructed Jiang Rong to tie Lin Yao to the center of the spherical device.
While she was busy, Lin Yao also looked at Professor Li's projection in the observation room. "Professor, have you calculated the probability of success and failure during your research?"
"The most important thing in scientific research is to find the path to success through a large amount of data comparison. Do you think we can remember that?"
"Uh … What are the probabilities of benign and malignant mutations after being impacted by high-intensity electromagnetic waves?"
After sighing, Professor Li said sadly, "The probability of malignant mutations for people without thunder talent is 99.9%."
Lin Yao, who was tied to the chair, suddenly trembled when he heard the 99.9% probability of malignant mutations. Soon, he thought of something and asked nervously, "What about people with thunder talent?"
"For people with thunder talent, the probability of malignant mutations is 95%, and the probability of benign mutations is 5%."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yao was completely speechless. The probability of one in 20 was really scary.
"Now, are you still going to continue?"
"Professor, it is impossible to succeed with a 95% probability of malignant mutations!"
Jiang Rong exclaimed. She did not want Lin Yao to continue with such an exaggerated failure rate. Unfortunately, Professor Li ignored her. He just stared at Lin Yao, waiting for him to make a decision.
Without much hesitation, Lin Yao nodded. "Let's get started."
Professor Li smiled at his decisiveness. "Very well, you have to maintain this courage. Don't be afraid. We will be careful at the beginning. This way, the malignant mutations in your body will not be serious, and we have a way to cure them."
Jiang Rong heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and Lin Yao also smiled.
"So you were just scaring me."
"No, this is a test. Malignant mutations occur at the genetic level. The price of curing such mutations is very expensive, and not everyone can enjoy it."
After chatting with Lin Yao for a while, Professor Li's expression became serious. After making sure that Lin Yao was ready, he remotely controlled the equipment in the room and began the scientific version of the Heaven and Earth Furnace experiment.
Buzz, buzz, buzz …
As the power switch was turned on, an electric current flowed into the spherical magnetic field that wrapped Lin Yao, causing the magnetic field to light up. Then, the electromagnetic wave emitting equipment bound to it made a buzzing sound.
When that sound was heard, Lin Yao also felt a special wave sweep through him.
Then, something happened that made Lin Yao's scalp tingle. He felt as if all the cells in his body had come alive.
This was not a mere description. He really felt that the cells all over his body had a mind of their own. They were like fledglings that were crying piteously for food, wanting to strengthen themselves with energy.
The crazy hunger did not only appear in his stomach but also spread throughout his body. Fortunately, there was heaven and earth energy around him, which prevented Lin Yao's cells from devouring each other. Instead, they absorbed energy.
However, the heaven and earth energy around his body was limited, and it was quickly swallowed by Lin Yao's 60 trillion active cells. However, autophagy did not happen all over his body. There was also a large amount of light energy stored in Lin Yao's cells, and these cells were devouring this gentle energy.
— — —
At the same time, Lin Yao was not carrying out a simple experiment. This was a technique that had some results.
When the surrounding heaven and earth energy was exhausted, an electric current flowed into his body from the electrode patches on his body. This electric current was much stronger than the electric current that had strengthened Lin Yao's body in the past. However, before it could destroy Lin Yao's body, the cells that were crying piteously for food devoured it frantically.
In a very short time, the huge electric current was devoured.
There was a steady stream of electric current flowing into his body, and his body was also becoming stronger at a crazy speed because the 60 trillion cells were devouring it at the same time.
However, he did not feel the slightest bit happy at the moment. He only trembled in fear.
'Damn it, isn't this the Taoist Heaven and Earth Furnace? It stimulates the activation of the cells in the body and makes them have the desire to devour energy. This is Cthulhu's strengthening style! '
