People are in high martial arts, the system lives in fantasy

At the same time, a massive amount of energy surged into Su Bei's body.

The sheer amount of power startled Su Bei; if it all rushed into his body, he would likely be burst open!
However, he was clearly overthinking it; the energy was merely using a passage.

Ultimately, however, all of it was absorbed by the celestial sphere, like a bottomless pit, where no matter how much light energy there was, it could all be absorbed.

The shape and size of the celestial sphere changed along with it, like a balloon expanding and contracting with each breath, slowly deforming and expanding, like a planet in motion, bursting forth with extraordinary power with every slight movement.

As energy flowed in, the runes on the surface of the celestial sphere gradually lit up. The intricate patterns flowed like liquid gold, and each expansion and contraction caused a subtle reorganization of the rune structure, as if a force was manipulating it, like a pair of giant hands kneading it.

Suddenly, a hairline crack appeared on the surface of the sphere, from which strands of condensed light seeped out, carrying pure light energy to the extreme. This anomaly caused the celestial sphere to tremble violently and its expansion speed to accelerate abruptly, as if it were about to break through some kind of critical point.

But after a moment, the power vanished suddenly, and everything returned to calm.

Su Bei looked at the celestial sphere in the inner universe again, and at this moment the celestial sphere had undergone tremendous changes.

First, there's the size. Originally, the celestial sphere in the inner universe was only the size of an infant's fist, but now it looks as big as a millstone. As the celestial sphere rotates, golden true essence is rapidly transformed and poured into the true essence river of the inner universe.

The conversion rate is several times faster than before!
The runes that swirled and floated around the celestial sphere sometimes transformed into ribbons, and sometimes into distinct points of light, exuding an incomparably rich sense of light.

Like a small planet around the sun, it exudes an incomparably profound truth, like the ancient rules governing the universe.

If the celestial sphere before was more like a small rock with solar energy, the celestial sphere now seems to have finally acquired some of the true colors of the "sun" after millions of years of accumulation!
Not only that, Su Bei can also comprehend the "planet" that surrounds the celestial sphere at any time!
What was originally a one-time use inheritance has now become a permanent power, completely integrated with the celestial sphere!
"In that case, there's no need to consider advancing the realm of light in the future."

Su Bei was overjoyed: "However, the Celestial Sphere hasn't completed its upgrade yet; it's still in the Celestial Sphere stage, which seems to be lacking."

"There are already so many wonders at the celestial sphere stage alone. If we advance to the next level, who knows what it will be like?"

And that's not all.

He and the celestial sphere were originally one, sharing both prosperity and adversity. As the celestial sphere changed, the energy within it began to flow in reverse, transforming into a warm and nourishing power after being tempered by runes, which then nourished his limbs and bones.

The energy that fed back slowly entered Su Bei's genes, fundamentally strengthening him. What was originally just a portion of his genes transforming into a blazing white paladin was now undergoing a large-scale transformation.

Bone structure, muscles, blood vessels...

The DNA double helix structure is also repaired and reconstructed in this process, making Su Bei's body more perfect and permanently rewriting the genetic lock!
If Su Bei were already married at this time and the two had children, they would probably be born with a bright affinity. If they could inherit Su Bei's genes after becoming martial artists, they would definitely be martial arts geniuses!
If Su Bei's body were equipped with monitoring devices at this moment, everyone would discover that Su Bei's metabolic capacity is more than a thousand times that of an ordinary person. His entire body is like a high-speed machine, undergoing an evolutionary process that would take an ordinary person decades in a short period of time.

The original celestial sphere was in its nascent stage. Not to mention that it was not feeding back to Su Bei, most of the energy it generated was used as its own nourishment, and Su Bei still needed to replenish it, which was incredibly resource-intensive.

—If it weren't for those two imperial sun auras as a foundation, Su Bei's progress would probably have been greatly reduced.

During this process, Su Bei himself didn't know how much time had passed.

However, he knew that the true essence energy that was frantically expanding the land in the inner universe had finally encountered a giant gate that was like an insurmountable barrier. It was rooted in the earth, yet it seemed to be connected to heaven and earth, like a huge dam that blocked everything from passing through.

At this point, we have reached the perfect state of the third stage!

The fourth gate that blocks the human body from moving forward—the Gate of the Spirit!
The Gate of Spiritual Aperture is also known as the "Gate of the Bridge of Dharma," which means opening the connection between the human body and nature.

Fourth-tier martial artists have begun to transcend the exploration of themselves, turning more towards the common connection between nature and humanity. In the end, martial arts cultivation is more about exploring the universe and humanity, while gene martial arts regard the human body as the "universe itself", and ultimately explores the realm of "Tao and Law".

As a turning point in martial arts, the importance of the Fourth Gate is self-evident.

The reason why the Sacred Gene Method is called Sacred is that, among its many advantages, the ability to open up multiple spiritual apertures is key. Each additional spiritual aperture opened is like opening another channel connecting heaven and earth, which is of immeasurable benefit to subsequent cultivation!
High-grade gene techniques can open up 9 spiritual apertures, while sacred-grade martial arts can open up as many as 36, and some can even open up to 50!

However, once they reached this point, Su Bei could no longer proceed.

He only had the first three levels of the "Great Sun Emperor's Body Technique," and his cultivation could no longer advance.

At this point, switching to other holy-grade gene techniques would certainly not weaken his strength, but since there were better options, Su Bei was naturally unwilling to give them up.

"In that case, let's stop here for now."

However, a full month had already passed in the outside world.

clack clack...

A slight cracking sound rang out.

Many martial artists who were cultivating in this blessed land opened their eyes to look. The cocoon of light where Su Bei was originally located was breaking apart little by little along the patterns. At first, it was slow, but as the movement progressed, it quickly shattered into light spots, and then quietly dissipated.

Su Bei's figure was then exposed to the air.

As he opened his eyes, a tangible golden light seemed to flow around him, and his body naturally radiated a warm glow like the sun. When he stood, he had a gravitational field like the core of a star, giving people a sense of holiness born in the light, and a sense of great power surged, like the power of the sun.

Su Bei stood up, his body surface faintly showing flowing, liquid gold-like patterns of light, which were of the same origin as the runes around the celestial sphere. With every move he made, his muscles worked as efficiently as a precision machine.

Crackling!

With just a slight movement, the bones emitted a clear, jade-like sound as they collided. The paladin genes, which originally required deliberate activation, had now perfectly fused with the flesh and blood.

With each breath, the rhythm of his breathing mirrored the frequency of the celestial sphere's expansion and contraction, causing the surrounding energy to form a small vortex that surged completely into his body, as if the "planetary rune system" of the inner universe was being projected onto reality through him.

If someone observes closely, they will find that the tips of Su Bei's hair occasionally burst out with tiny particles of light, forming a miniature star-shaped halo in the dark. This is an external manifestation of an excessively high energy conversion rate.

"This time, it's a combination of numerical monsters and mechanical monsters."

Su Bei's heart stirred, and his demeanor instantly became simple and unpretentious, making the surrounding people think that their eyes were playing tricks on them.

“The fifth floor…” Su Bei stared into the void, as if he could see the old tower guardian sitting in the center of the hall, looking at him.

next moment.

With a single step, a gentle breeze blew, and he transformed into a streak of light, entering the fifth level.

The speed is much faster than before.

The tower guard, Oberyn, stared at Su Bei for a long time, his eyes revealing a complex expression that was difficult for ordinary people to understand:
"You passed."

"That old fellow, the Dragon of Light, really picked an extraordinary successor."

"See you on the ninth floor."

Just at this moment.

Boom! !

The entire Trial Tower, no, the entire Hidden Dragon Land, trembled violently!
Tear!

The space itself seemed to have been forcibly torn apart!
A pair of cold, emotionless golden eyes were revealed, instantly fixing their gaze on Su Bei.

"found it."

"Seed of the Sun".

That was a familiar voice from northern Jiangsu, but it was none other than the long-lost Seraphim!

He stretched out an arm and reached out to grab Su Bei.

Half of its forearm was more magnificent than the entire Trial Tower, with liquid, luminous energy flowing across its skin, and every hair like a pillar of light piercing the heavens and the earth.

The space trembled and cracked, and Su Bei felt as if his life and death were out of his control.
