Chapter 341: Genetic Evolution Technology – Evil King
"Is the next Dao Artifact awakening ceremony in two years?"
Yun Ye gave up on staging the return of the Dragon King.
Last time, Qushuang and the others were caught in a trap, and it wasn’t just involving the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, Dream Lake, and Tomorrow Society.
Behind the scenes, the Holy Lineage and the Pure World Holy Land were also involved. Their absence suggested they had the ability to break through the layers and escape.
They probably already knew about the existence of the Tomorrow Society, and continuing to suddenly awaken Dao Artifacts carried too much risk.
There was no need for that!
The higher-ups of the Tomorrow Society were all Dao Artifact wielders, having operated this order for over twenty years with rich experience.
As someone who didn’t even understand the current situation, Yun Ye should not assume he could guide anything.
After careful consideration, Yun Ye returned to self-cultivation.
The Cultivator School had a library that contained almost all the information of the Tomorrow Society. Learning from it would require a significant amount of time; it was too early to mix in these matters.
In terms of upper limits, the knowledge from the Tomorrow Society was naturally far inferior to what Lan Wuyin taught.
However, these were two different paths. The knowledge from the Tomorrow Society could be integrated with that of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, and the two were not in conflict.
"So it’s possible to construct a model of Eternal Silence like this?"
"The difficulty of use has directly decreased by two-fifths…"
"That’s terrifying."
Yun Ye’s fingertips shimmered with the black aura of annihilation; he had completely mastered the double fusion of the Unique Spiritual Law of Eternal Silence, and even if it wasn’t in the law realms, he could still use it.
He had a feeling that he was not far from mastering the triple fusion!
Over the years, the Tomorrow Society had indeed grasped some of the underlying rules of the attributes, simplifying cultivation further, and fully mastering Eternal Silence was proof of that.
…
The Golden-haired Boy burned with anger as he was sealed off by the indifferent Executors and brought to the Central Research Institute.
A woman in a white lab coat propped her chin with her hand, having waited for a long time.
"It’s all yours, Seventh Seat. We’ll take our leave."
The Executors bowed and did not approach further, turning to leave as if there were some great terror lurking there.
"Well, I didn’t expect you to return so quickly. What a pity; by becoming my experimental subject, the opportunities you imagined are probably gone now."
Qi Lian waved her hand, not minding the rudeness of the Executors. She looked at Wu Cheng with interest, as if observing a rare animal.
"So this is what hypocrisy looks like! What nonsense is the path of tomorrow? You just treat us as cannon fodder. If we don’t align with your path, you’ll casually slaughter us and use us as experimental subjects! What’s the difference between you and the spiritual law family of Huangzhou, who exploit openly? You are just sneaky about it!"
Wu Cheng only managed a cold laugh.
"Though I really want to say something, it doesn’t matter. I haven’t awakened the Tomorrow Dao Artifact, so discussing this with me is pointless."
Qi Lian smiled.
Cultivators were inherently selfish beings.
Her assistance to the Tomorrow Society was simply because the New Dao was more vibrant than the path of domination; she had not felt strongly enough to awaken a Dao Artifact.
“Since you do not agree with the path of tomorrow, why serve the Tomorrow Society? In this place, you will always be stuck in the law realms, making no progress! Now that you’ve gained all the knowledge of the Tomorrow Society, even if you leave it, they can’t do anything to you! If you are willing to leave the Tomorrow Society, I can follow you and become your sharp blade!”
Wu Cheng’s expression changed rapidly; he had just been cursing angrily and was now seriously persuading and talking about loyalty.
He knew that Qi Lian had not awakened the Dao Artifact. To survive, he needed to gain Qi Lian’s support.
“It’s no problem. Law realm cultivators have four hundred years. I have only just completed half of that time. I have enough remaining time to witness the rise and fall of the Tomorrow Society.”
Qi Lian said casually; this was the ease of a great cultivator.
She had all the time to wait for the Tomorrow Society to naturally perish or become the overlord of Huangzhou.
For her, either option was about the same. Why trouble herself to build her own power?
Wu Cheng wanted to say more.
But Qi Lian waved her sleeve and sealed his voice.
Then, Qi Lian took out a notice: “Repeatedly inciting companions to betray the Tomorrow Society, causing serious injuries multiple times, and this time, under the guidance of unknown individuals, attacking specially observed individuals at the Cultivator School. All these heavy crimes combined mean you have completely exceeded what the Tomorrow Society can tolerate.”
“Ultimately, the Tomorrow Society is just a violent organization; they don’t punish you just because you are on the front line, to avoid turmoil, not because your backers think you shouldn’t be punished. For those in charge, as long as a law recorded in writing is violated, they have the right to take a series of punitive measures, including annihilation.”
What do you mean?
Wu Cheng looked horrified.
Qi Lian snapped her fingers, and the white threads spread out, piercing Wu Cheng’s body. He immediately bulged with veins, struggling in pain, trying to break free.
However, his enemy was not just an ordinary law realm cultivator guarding the Dao.
Qi Lian had mastered most of the knowledge of the Tomorrow Society, and it was completely different from the past. It was no exaggeration to say she was in a peerless law realm, crushing him in both realm and status, leaving him with no opportunity to resist.
Moments later, blood veins spread all over Wu Cheng’s body, and a red horn grew from his forehead.
When he opened his eyes again, they were dead and lifeless.
Genetic Evolution Technology – Evil King.
“To become a law realm cultivator, one needs a qualitative change in strength. After years of research, the Tomorrow Society has learned more or less about its essence. The Spiritual Roots in our bodies are, in fact, the powers inherited from ancient sages who fused advanced precious medicines.”
“Whether it’s the soul, physical body, or Spiritual Roots, they all possess a source of power, which has a certain chance of evolving into a higher form.”
“Peaceful evolution means following the cultivation methods of the law realm and integrating precious medicines to advance.”
“To grow stronger, one needs to suppress oneself with treasures and fuse with stronger powers.”
“Interesting…”
Qi Lian continuously recorded her findings. The Genetic Evolution Technology – Evil King was born from this principle, artificially forcing evolution of potential.
The Evil King was not about ability but specifically referred to the evolution of the physical body.
In Qi Lian’s experimental cases, very few succeeded in evolving their physical body, far fewer than with Spiritual Roots, but slightly more than with the soul.
“This was successful because the body of great sun increased the potential, allowing the evolution to succeed.”
“Top-tier Spiritual Herbs can replace precious medicines, but it’s very difficult; if they are even weaker, they will definitely fail.”
“There aren’t that many top-tier Spiritual Herbs; improvements must continue…”
“Qi Lian, do you still plan to study the Evil King? This thing is of no use to the Tomorrow Society!”
A coldly beautiful woman with silver hair leaned against the wall, arms crossed, speaking suddenly.
“Yuexin, the Evil King can inspire my advancement to the Mystic Realm. If I advance, the Tomorrow Society will immediately rise to power.”
“Aren’t you excited?”
Qi Lian looked up.
“Excited? Do you think I will be like them, pretending to go along with you? If you advance to the Mystic Realm, what we should worry about is whether we will be destroyed in an instant, or whether we will establish your rule.”
Yuexin’s face showed no expression, and her silver eyes lacked any sparkle, as if she were not a living person, but a delicate doll.
“That’s too exaggerated. I made a promise with Dao; I will not break it. I also hope to see new light.”
Qi Lian said with a faint smile.
She spoke the truth. She had grown tired of a world that remained unchanged, and she had once been overwhelmed by despair.
The path of tomorrow was indeed a ray of light in the darkness, guiding her to a new direction.
However, that was all it was. If it were twenty years ago, she might have been moved to sacrifice herself for it, but now she absolutely would not.
It was somewhat amusing, but it was precisely because she had witnessed the path of tomorrow that she had undergone such a change.
Knowing that the world held so many mysteries and hopes, she regained endless possibilities, like a decayed tree that had come back to life. At this moment, she would not allow herself to waste her life carelessly.
Staying here, as she said, was merely to witness the rise and fall of the Tomorrow Society. She had enough time to fulfill her promise.
“Heh, a promise with the teacher?”
“Once the research is done, Wu Cheng will return to his original form; he can only die on the battlefield!”
Yuexin glanced at Wu Cheng, transformed by the Evil King, and turned to leave.
The oath supported by the Dao Artifact may have been effective back then, but today, twenty years later, it had long since vanished without a trace.
The Tomorrow Society could not force Qi Lian to re-swear an oath; whether she wanted to fulfill it was merely a matter of her own will.
It was this ticking time bomb buried within the Tomorrow Society that made the members ignore those small issues and develop wildly. If too much time passed, and Qi Lian left the Tomorrow Society to search for breakthroughs in the Mystic Realm, the Tomorrow Society would not be far from its downfall.
It was absolutely impossible to survive within the influence of the two major Spirit Sects without Qi Lian.
The Dao Artifact could not sufficiently restrain the members of the Tomorrow Society.
But Qi Lian’s Spirit Law could!
Within the entire Tomorrow Society, no one could decipher Qi Lian’s Spirit Law. Once a thought of betrayal arose, that person would die.
This situation, except for those in charge, was completely unknown to the others; it was the highest secret of the Tomorrow Society.
Otherwise, if it was merely secrecy around the Dao Artifact, if the Dao Artifact wielder from the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect intervened, it could completely negate the rules, leading to a leak.
The two sects operated through the power of the System Master, tearing apart space directly to annihilate, but the Tomorrow Society did not possess such power and could only rely on the Dao Artifact itself.
However, the essence of the competition over Dao Artifacts made it so that the Dao Artifacts of the two Dao Systems would balance each other out.
Now, the rules of the Dao Artifact in the Tomorrow Society had inexplicably strengthened significantly, to the point that most System Masters from the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect could not stop it. However, several years ago, only those with extreme willpower could be sent out on missions; otherwise, everyone would need Qi Lian to deploy her Spirit Law to prevent any slip-ups.
“Dao Artifact…”
Qi Lian shook her head; did that mean only by awakening the Dao Artifact could one truly be considered an insider?
There were still many unanswered mysteries regarding the awakening of the Dao Artifact. A deep understanding and recognition of the path of tomorrow were merely one of the reasons it could be awakened.
She began to research again.
Forcibly evolving the physical body would create monsters of various shapes, hence the name Evil King. But this was not permanent; it could be optimized and transformed back into human form.
The Evil King form would become similar to True Form Divine Ability; once activated, it would gain the powers of the law realms.
“Ah.”
A child wandered into the experimental area, casually glancing at the researchers’ processes before pushing open the door to the deepest lab.
“Mommy, I’m back.”
Qi Lian looked up, and the little boy with U-shaped eyes came into view. “Your unstable fluctuations have increased again; is it because of Wu Cheng’s issue? … Lie down for an inspection; today’s study will be postponed until tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
