From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Does the way someone changes their body shape after using their abilities suit your taste?" Duanmu Ying said with a sly smile.

"No, I'm indifferent to ordinary women."

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes at Duanmu Ying and pointed at Siwon, saying, "Her abilities do involve genes, and they are somewhat related to the topic we are currently researching."

You mean—

Duanmu Ying's expression gradually turned serious, and she began to observe Siwon's condition.

Their research focuses on the cellular activity state under the activation of the gene lock, studying the energy cycle—qi pattern—within a single cell, as well as the energy flow and transmission—qi pattern interaction—between multiple cells, in order to further determine the role of genes in order to better assist humans in controlling the combination of Qi cultivation and the gene lock, and even to create drugs that can activate the gene lock in the future.

"After seeing her truly use her abilities, I realized that this black-and-white silver-haired state is her true form, while the girlish appearance we saw before was a disguise, or rather, what she should have looked like when she was a human."

Looking at Siwon from a genetic perspective, Jiang Liu was certain that the other party could no longer be considered human, having become reproductively isolated from humans.

The other party completed its "evolution" by using an extremely special human transmutation technique. Relying on alchemical runes similar to those in "The Forbidden Fruit of God: Modified," it controlled the life cycle's energy pattern, and then directly skipped the system energy pattern, organ energy pattern, and tissue energy pattern, directly involving the cellular energy pattern level. This caused the energy circulation at the level of every cell in the body and the energy interaction between cells to spontaneously form a whole, and begin to change in a direction that adapts to that alchemical technique.

Advantages: Physical fitness and bodily functions are greatly improved, that is, bone density and muscle strength are nearly twice that of normal humans, as are the strength of the internal organs and the development of the mind and brain.

It should be noted that once other practitioners deplete their Qi, their bodily functions and physical condition will decline significantly!

# Chapter 749 Siwon's Abilities (Part 2)

And what about disadvantages?

Naturally, Siwon's situation is due to a kind of "evolution," or rather, adaptive evolution, that occurs by relying on that peculiar human body alchemy array to control the life cycle of the human body and thus directly affect the cellular energy.

Therefore, she is not making efficient use of her talents, and since she is no longer human, the methods suitable for humans may not be suitable for her, making her future cultivation uncertain.

Her current skill level is only equivalent to that of an ordinary superhuman who has cultivated for twenty or thirty years. She has not truly mastered the human body's energy field, nor can she tap into its potential from the macroscopic to the microscopic level.

The so-called tapping into one's potential essentially involves delving deeper into the system of life cycle energy distribution → system energy distribution → organ energy distribution → tissue energy distribution → cell energy distribution, and in this process, establishing a network system that regulates the overall energy cycle of the human body to help one control this macroscopic and open mega-system.

in conclusion.

In the path of spiritual cultivation, setting aside the additional aspect of "reaching the heavens," there are actually two main directions.

The first is to refine Qi, improve one's skill, and enhance one's life force.

This is the path taken by the vast majority of Qi cultivators in China, especially the Buddhist and Taoist schools, who basically follow this approach of overwhelming force when facing enemies.

Secondly, it is about constantly exploring the treasures within a person's body.

This refers to the path described above, from the Qi pattern of the life cycle to the Qi pattern of the cells, thereby improving the efficiency of utilizing the body's existing energy and the efficiency of spiritual practice.

It can be summarized in one sentence: using minimal force to achieve maximum effect.

It means using one unit of effort to achieve the effect of ten, one hundred, or even one thousand.

In this respect, Western alchemy is not actually more powerful than the Chinese Qi Refining lineage; it's just that the external effects are more obvious and exaggerated, especially in the case of magic that involves human body modification and enhancement, as well as human transmutation techniques, and other external manifestations that cause significant changes to the body.

The strength of Siwon—

Judging by cultivation level, it's only been twenty or thirty years;

In terms of the body's energy distribution, it has only just reached the level of the systemic energy distribution, without involving the organ level;

But with this body that surpasses that of the human species, its combat power is no weaker than that of an alien who has cultivated for forty or fifty years, and may even be stronger.

Without him.

Racial talent!

She has transcended the human species!

And without a doubt, the energy cycle of individual cells and the energy interaction between cells in Siwarn's whole body are very worthy of study, making him an excellent living specimen!

[What should we do? Maybe we should ambush her, capture her, and study her?]

Duanmu Ying was eager to try.

Where is your medical ethics?

The river flows silently.

[You're talking to me, a spoiled rich girl who defied her family's wishes and secretly ran away to study abroad, about medical ethics? Besides, she's not even human anymore!]

Duanmu Ying asked in a half-joking manner.

Jiang Liu: 【→_→】

Lu Jin: 【→_→】

Duanmu Ying: [Damn it! What does this have to do with you, Lu Jin? Besides, regardless of the past, my medical principle is simple: I will not treat anyone who commits arson, murder, robbery, petty theft, or other criminal acts! She's a thief, not even human, so what medical ethics are you talking about?]

[Is that so? I bet if you were bound, frightened, and tortured by a more ruthless ordinary person before you even had a chance to use my Qi to torment you, you would immediately abandon your principles.]

Jiang Liu smiled broadly.

Duanmu Ying retorted indignantly: "Don't underestimate me! Even without your Qi training, my willpower is still very strong! I dare to travel abroad alone!"

Strong willpower?

No wonder!

Jiang Liu still vividly remembers the first time he used Qi to temper Duanmu Ying's meridians; she wailed and cried uncontrollably, looking like a madwoman who had been thoroughly abused...

Lu Jin almost misunderstood that he had lost his bestial nature and forced Duanmu Ying to reproduce in the basement!

hum-

After regaining his original form, Siwon, without saying a word, used his telekinesis to pull the jade slab, making it float in front of him. Then he grabbed the Death Bracelet, and a ball of white flame appeared in his palm. The moment it came into contact with his palm, the bracelet gradually "melted".

"An ability related to fire?" Lu Jin frowned, not sensing the temperature of the flame.

"Not fire."

Jax walked over to Lu Jin and leaned familiarly on his shoulder. "It's a special kind of energy constructed from magic. As for its specific effects—"

"Ango, you speak."

After the mission to find the guide ended, Ango was no longer the team leader. When facing Jax, a hint of tension, even panic, would reappear. But under Jagata's encouraging gaze, he still said, "Um, the ability passed down in the McDougal family is actually sound waves."

The range of sounds that humans can hear is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. This is the generally accepted range in my hometown. I don't know about other places, but below 20 Hz and above 20000 Hz, humans cannot hear them, but they can still have an impact on the human body.

It is said that frequencies below 20 Hz are usually associated with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and can cause dizziness and anxiety; while frequencies above 20000 Hz can cause headaches, and may even lead to brain damage and death.

The white parts that condense on their hands and feet are the main parts where they use their abilities. They can naturally condense into a white energy particle stream similar to a flame, which can transmit vibrations that are inaudible to humans, or even fix sounds that are beyond the range of human hearing. Then, they release the sound upon contact with an object and transform it into vibrations to affect the object itself, thereby avoiding unnecessary damage.

This is also the key to her ability to sneak into all secret rooms undetected, steal, and become a master thief.

"No wonder."

Lu Jin suddenly realized.

This ability is indeed very suitable for stealing.

In addition, he once again realized the gap between East and West, and the gap in cultivation—not that Western cultivation concepts are more advanced than Eastern ones, but that Western alchemists also use scientific knowledge to analyze the essential principles of cultivation.

In this respect, the cultivation of Qi in China is far inferior. Most people with supernatural abilities, even if they learn about Western scientific knowledge, just laugh it off and treat it as something novel, but they don't really care about it and will not use it to compare the principles of their own supernatural abilities.

Therefore, the Qi practitioners in China are indeed lagging behind those in the West, but the lag is not in the methods themselves, but in the attitude of the practitioners.

As Siwon converted the sound back into vibration through the white flame particle stream, the Death Bracelet "melted" faster and faster until it finally turned into a pool of golden liquid. Under the sunlight, it emitted peculiar arcs of electricity that intertwined with each other but did not overflow, returning to its original form as liquid gold, making it look extremely unique.

This also made Jiang Liu realize that Atlantis' alchemy technology involved not only the arrangement between atoms, but also the structural level of a single gold atom!

At first, he thought it would rely on the energy circulation path between the atoms of the Death Bracelet material to cooperate with the jade slab to open the channel.

But looking at the Death Bracelet before him, now a pool of "golden liquid," he realized that the structure of its "gold atoms" differed from the atomic nuclei and electron configurations of ordinary gold...

# Chapter 750 Don't you have the blood of a descendant of Atlantis?

The molten gold poured onto the jade slab spontaneously gathered on the Atlantean script within, merging with it.

thereafter.

No longer needing Siwon's control, the stone slab floated on its own, the text on it emitting a seven-colored halo. Then, the stone slab transformed into a transparent lake-like shape, and the text on it and the gold element gathered within it to form a strange beast that resembled both a fish and a dragon, but ultimately it transformed into something resembling a carp.

Upon closer inspection, however, the carp was moving at an extremely slow pace, and its scales and fins were undergoing slow changes.

The entire stone slab seemed to be embedded in mid-air, attracting the surrounding airflow to converge, and then a connection was formed in the space. A gate about fifty meters high and twenty meters wide, as if composed of clouds and water ripples, appeared in front of everyone.

Transparent like glass, billowing like clouds.

"Is this the gateway to Atlantis?" the robin exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes."

Siobhan asked the group, "Does anyone want to go in first?"

No one answered; even the robin fell silent.

Wei Jiangliu took out the Fish-Dragon Talisman from his pocket and asked, "Just by looking at this gate with its rolling clouds and rippling water, I know that Atlantis' ancient alchemy technology is beyond my previous imagination."

To be able to utilize the Qi structure to this extent, and even to set up such a portal... even if Atlantis is empty, the corresponding mechanisms must still be functioning.

In the past dynasties of our land, officials and common people all had identification documents, such as talismans, proclamations, or guides. If they did not have these, they were considered refugees, and their deaths were inconsequential.

Atlantis was an ancient civilization with highly advanced alchemy techniques, which can be glimpsed from this example. Even if a key opened the gate, without corresponding identification, it would likely trigger the mechanism directly.

The fish-dragon talisman I have might be a kind of identity credential, but one credential can only allow one person to pass through.

Upon hearing this, Robin frowned. Although he didn't know what "qi formation" was, he knew it was impossible to enter it directly now, so he asked Siwon, "Do you have any similar credentials?"

"hehe."

Siwon, hands on his chest, scoffed, "I am a descendant of Atlantis, and my own bloodline is the best proof."

Genetic testing!

Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying had both learned about the medical data that Jiang Liu brought back from another parallel universe, and this idea immediately came to their minds.

"That's troublesome."

Robin frowned, but still told one of the five bodyguards behind her, the masked woman, to try it out—the identity document Jiang Liu mentioned needed to be tested to determine if it was real or fake.

Why not let ordinary armed personnel conduct the experiments?

In Robin's opinion, since this involves ancient alchemy, it is the best choice for alchemists to try it.
