Chapter 279: Change of Mind

"Crack!"

A slight cracking sound came from Chen Qi, and the [Fairy Eye] between his eyebrows slowly opened a gap.

And this is just the beginning, as the cracks continue to extend.

The elixir that Chen Qi believed to be indestructible in the past actually shattered into a pile of dust.

…

"Bah, bah, bah!"

"Is this how terrifying the concept of [Immortal] is?"

Chen Qi patted the dust on himself, feeling quite frightened.

And with the fragmentation of [Immortal Eye], the connection between Chen Qi and [Immortal] was also completely interrupted.

Within the meridians, there is no influx of higher-level information structures, so the fairy light cannot be produced naturally.

On the outside, the fairy light surrounding Chen Qi slowly extinguished, and Chen Qi's fairy body mode completely disappeared.

"Even the information structure within the elixir cannot withstand the distortion of the [immortal body]'s advanced information structure."

"The way of reincarnation dares to face the [Immortal] directly with just consciousness. It's really amazing."

"But this is just seeking death. Yunze's death was not unfair at all!"

"Fortunately, I have the elixir to help, otherwise I would definitely follow in the footsteps of Yun Ze."

…

Although the loss of the elixir made Chen Qi extremely painful, compared with this gain and his own life, Chen Qi still felt it was worth it.

After the meridians were fully developed, Chen Qi was still unable to find a way to break through his innate abilities.

After all, Brut was just taking drugs back then. How could he be as down-to-earth as Chen Qi?

After some research, Chen Qi believed that the reason why he was unable to break through the innateness.

Or is it because the quality of the meridians is so poor that it cannot sense the umbilical cord of life at all.

The only way to solve this problem is to improve the quality of Qi and then conduct a new round of tempering.

As long as the quality of the Qi is high enough, even grinding with water can make the meridians go further.

So Chen Qi began to integrate more spiritual energy into the true energy. According to his original estimate, it would be difficult for the meridians to progress further in less than half a year.

This is because Chen Qi has enough spiritual energy to improve the quality of his true energy to an extremely terrifying level.

But now, the enlightenment of the concept of [Immortal] has directly allowed Chen Qi to achieve the goal in one step and break through the innate realm.

Even more than that, Chen Qi felt that his current meridians actually had some characteristics of spiritual veins.

This is a bit incredible!

To know that the meridians are originally a reduced version of the spiritual veins, this is simply a qualitative leap.

If it weren't for the countless unavoidable hurdles ahead, Chen Qi would have thought he had a chance of becoming an immortal.

Bah, bah, bah, he is a loyal practitioner of the new method, so he will not be half-hearted.

…

"It's strange that when my meridians are connected to the umbilical cord of life, especially after I transform into a fairy body, something actually resonates with me."

"What on earth is that?"

"Even if I release the fairy mode now, the feeling still vaguely exists, but the specific range cannot be determined!"

After the immortal body was lifted, Chen Qi checked his body to confirm that there was no further trouble, while thinking about the sudden abnormality before.

After thinking again and again, Chen Qi finally remembered something.

"Could it be that the one that resonates with me is the [One-Chi Immortal Vein] mentioned by Gong Yuntian?"

"My meridian cultivation system can barely be regarded as a beggar's version of the art of alchemy."

"After breaking through the innateness, it seems not impossible that the meridians will be connected to the umbilical cord of life, and will be connected to the legendary immortal veins."

The more Chen Qi thought about it, the more reasonable it became. If it weren't for the fact that his current sense was extremely vague, Chen Qi would have planned to go treasure hunting.

That's the [One-Chi Immortal Vein]. If you can get it, you may really become an immortal instantly.

It's a pity that Chen Qi is just thinking about it. He can only vaguely feel one direction now. How can he find it when Shengxian Island is so big?

Unless Chen Qi is willing to take risks again and use the elixir to link the [Immortal Body].

But there are only two elixirs left in Chen Qi's hands, and they have been linked to the [Immortal Body] many times in a short period of time. This is because he is afraid of his own longevity.

…

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with him and that he was even in excellent condition, Chen Qi finally looked at Yunze's relics.

After some testing, it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the thing, and Chen Qi took it carefully in his hands.

The moment he took it, Chen Qi confirmed the material of the fragment.

This seems to be the fossil of some kind of ancient creature, and it is also the fossil of some kind of tooth.

It's just that it's broken a bit too much, so you can't see the outline of the teeth.

"This guy must be pretty big!"

Chen Qi relied on his knowledge of biology to determine that the life form was at least a hundred meters tall when it was alive.

As for what kind of fossil the creature is, Chen Qi couldn't tell.

…

"Interesting, it turns out to be some kind of extraordinary material!"

"Is it used to store information?"

Chen Qi spiritually penetrated the jade fragments and immediately discovered that a massive amount of information was stored inside.

After reading through it, Chen Qi finally confirmed that what was recorded in the fragments was all the testing processes of the Eight Gates of Dunjia.

What a depressing surprise!

After all, the eight armor-defying techniques developed by Hell Dao seemed to be a bit of a trap, and Chen Qi had no intention of learning them.

Fortunately, as long as it is knowledge, it is never useless.

At least Chen Qi can deepen his understanding of the origin of life through the experimental data recorded in it.

This is the greatest value of these materials.

…

Except for various experimental data, there is no other information in the fragments, not even the distribution map of the experimental bases on Shengxian Island, which makes Chen Qi very depressed.

It's a pity that Yunze died too easily, otherwise Chen Qi must ask him how he found so many laboratories.

Unwillingly, Chen Qi searched the surrounding battlefield again, but he didn't find even a fiber of clothing.

It was because the lethality of the battle between the two was so terrifying that even the stones were evaporated into molecules.

If this fossil fragment was not a little special, it would have been completely decomposed by the fairy light.

"The reason why Yunze slaughtered the orcs before should be to use blood sacrifice to lock the [Fairy Body]."

"What a pity, what a pity!"

"The attainments of consciousness in the Samsara Path seem to be more suitable for me than the Hell Path."

"But that fairy light is too special, and I can't use my consciousness ability to deal with Yunze at all."

"Otherwise, it would be great if I could get his complete memory."

The more Chen Qi thought about it, the more regretful he felt, and the more unwilling he felt.

Then a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he suddenly thought of a guess he had made before.

Yunze, an ordinary member of the Samsara Path, should not know about such an important thing as [Immortal Body].

But he can now connect with [Immortal Body], which can only mean that he has entered the most important laboratory of the Samsara Path.

After all, it is his own laboratory, so it should not be destroyed directly after "plundering", right?

Since Yunze can come out alive, Chen Qi thinks he can do it too.

In the first ring area, the private laboratory belonging to the Samsara Path among the seven forbidden areas seems to be worth exploring?

But out of caution, Chen Qi thinks he should not be too anxious, and must wait for his strength to improve again.

After all, it is a forbidden area in the first ring area, and it is never too careful.

Chen Qi's current primary target is still the Hell Path Laboratory in the second ring area.

Although the clues here in Yunze are broken, it does not mean that Chen Qi has no other means.

...

"Spell·Same Origin Tracking!"

The jade fragment floated in Chen Qi's palm, and as the spell was activated, it actually rotated like a compass.

"Is there really a sense of induction?"

"That means there are other fragments on the island!"

The essence of the jade fragment is a fossil of ancient organisms. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this can only be regarded as a special extraordinary material.

But in the hands of Chen Qi, who is proficient in the field of life and information, some special life information can still be extracted.

With the help of the homologous induction between these life information, as long as the distance does not exceed 500 kilometers, Chen Qi can use spells to lock its existence.

Chen Qi was also eager to try it this time, but he didn't expect that there would be a surprise.

...

"This kind of ancient fossil fragment is extremely strong, even the fairy light cannot decompose it, so it was chosen by the Hell Road to store important experimental information."

"Since there are other fragments on the island, they must be located in the laboratory of the Hell Road."

"As long as I follow the induction, I will definitely be able to find the laboratory of the Hell Road."

Impatiently, Chen Qi used the fragments in his hand to locate and started his treasure hunt.

An hour later, Chen Qi relied on the induction between the fragments and indeed found a laboratory in the Hell Road.

Unfortunately, this place has been abandoned for a long time and has even become a playground for animals on the island.

After searching for a while, Chen Qi did not find anything good.

However, he found another jade fragment from a secret compartment.

By reading the information inside, Chen Qi also figured out what the laboratory here was researching.

"Interesting, Hell Road is also researching artificial creation of extraordinary organs."

"It's just that their research route is completely different from other extreme organizations."

"Hell Road's research does not seem to rely on elixirs, but is a self-contained system."

"They actually tried to change the subconscious to make the human body spontaneously evolve extraordinary organs."

"Relying solely on the subconscious to stimulate, a living organism certainly cannot complete this evolution."

"But if it is integrated into the origin of life, it will be different."

"Subconscious + extraordinary gene fragments + origin of life, this evolution route is really quite thoughtful."

"Unfortunately, this kind of evolution has too much uncertainty, it is difficult to be accurate, and the success rate is completely inferior to artificial creation with elixirs."

"But once the evolution is successful, the degree of fit with the human body is quite high, as if humans should have extraordinary organs."

"This should be just a pre-technology for some experiment, which makes me more interested!"

Indistinctly, Chen Qi already had a guess.

Excited, he started the next stop of treasure hunting.

...

Three days passed quickly, and Chen Qi found another 4 Hell Road laboratories in the second ring area.

At this time, Chen Qi had 6 fossil fragments of ancient creatures in his hand.

Except for one laboratory that was relatively hidden and well preserved.

The other three were either destroyed in battle or became the lair of orcs.

Fortunately, the jade fragments were not affected and the recovery was smooth.

As Chen Qi expected, several other laboratories in the hell were also studying how to use subconsciousness to give birth to extraordinary organs.

The only difference was that a certain laboratory was studying how to use extraordinary organs to devour normal human organs and replace them.

And it was from this point that Chen Qi saw the difference between Hell Dao and several other organizations.

Other organizations studied extraordinary organs, but they just regarded them as extraordinary pendants to enhance combat effectiveness.

But Hell Dao was different. Their ambitions were even greater. They even wanted to use extraordinary organs to devour all normal human organs.

If they really succeeded, a brand new human would be born.

This is not impossible at all, at least it is feasible in theory.

After all, Hell Dao's extraordinary organs are also evolved from the origin of life, which is equivalent to re-giving birth to a body with the human body.

Hell Dao is really a talent!

…

"Hell Dao is really studying mythical organs, or magical powers."

"It seems that Hell Dao has really hit a wall in studying the 72 changes of the Earthly Evils, and has stopped moving forward. He has actually started to find another way!"

The essence of the 72 changes of the Earthly Evils is to simulate the transformation of some powerful mythical organs of life with the human body.

But the inheritance obtained by Hell Dao is not complete, and it is even fragmented.

According to Chen Qi's judgment, Hell Dao only obtained some keys to open the changes.

But how to maintain the transformation after it starts, whether the living body can bear it, how to stop the transformation, all these things involved, the hell should be incomplete.

The power and weirdness of the 72 transformations of the earthly evil spirits are so strong that even the hell can't find the answer even if it piles up human lives.

So they can only settle for the second best and study the synthesis of mythical organs with extraordinary organs.

And Chen Qi's guess was also verified in the last intact laboratory.

…

"Is this the legendary "Hell Transformation"?"

"The hard work pays off, and I finally found it!"

In a laboratory deep in the earth, Chen Qi stood quietly in front of a huge mural.

In the picture, it was a world surrounded by black mist.

72 shadowy figures were looming in the picture.

Incredibly strange, when Chen Qi's eyes swept over a certain figure, he actually had a sense of it.

Originally, the 72 figures in the picture were all extremely blurry.

But at the moment of the sense, what Chen Qi saw in his eyes changed completely.

At this time, there were no 72 figures in the picture, but only 72 different postures of a giant ape.

[Mind Monkey Transformation]

This is the real name of this mural.

…

Chen Qi was very happy to see the secret hidden in the mural.

Because it meant that he had obtained a method of 72 transformations.

Unfortunately, this excitement only lasted for half a second, because Chen Qi found that this [Mind Monkey Transformation] was incomplete, missing 4/5.

This was not calculated by Chen Qi himself, but marked on the mural by Hell Road.

Considering that the inheritance obtained by Hell Road was fragmented, this seems reasonable.

No matter how stupid Hell Road is, it would not be stupid enough to leave the method of transformation that he has restored in the laboratory.

And this laboratory, or most of the Hell Road laboratories on Shengxian Island, were set up to improve [Mind Monkey Transformation].

As of the chaos on Shengxian Island, Hell Road had only restored 1/3 of [Mind Monkey Transformation], and it had cost them hundreds of years.

After knowing this, Chen Qi instantly lost interest in [Mind Monkey Transformation]. As expected, he still had to rely on the academy.

…

Fortunately, Chen Qi did not have no other gains.

In this laboratory, the restoration process of [Mind Monkey Transformation] was completely preserved.

If the consciousness algorithm and calculation process involved were written on paper, it would be enough to fill 100 football fields.

This is only a small part of the data in the entire laboratory.

The laboratory has studied the most, or how to use extraordinary organs to synthesize the mythical organ of the mind monkey.

Unfortunately, it is still a semi-finished product, and only a rather strange thing was produced.

This is a strange extraordinary organ named [Heart Communication] by the hell.

It looks like two ears growing on a heart.

Well, it is true.

…

The [Heart Communication] of the hell is not like the mind monkey, which can hear the voice of the life.

This thing has only one function, that is, it can hear the heartbeat of other lives.

If that's all, then the two ears are really in vain.

It is quite strange that the [Telepathy] of Hell Road can actually hear the physical defects of living beings from the heartbeat.

But what is the use of this?

Living beings are not perfect in themselves, and it is normal to have defects.

At first, Chen Qi really didn't understand why Hell Road spent so much time to research such a strange thing. What is the meaning?

But if you think about the restoration of the 72 transformations of the Earthly Evils, this crooked [Telepathy] seems to be really useful.

At least if the 72 transformations of the Earthly Evils have caused problems in the body, it can be discovered at the first time.

This thing is the extraordinary version of the stethoscope.

...

These are all the gains of Chen Qi's treasure hunt this time!

Although he failed to obtain a complete method of the 72 transformations of the Earthly Evils, from the perspective of knowledge, this harvest is also quite rich.

Considering that he couldn't go home recently, Chen Qi started the retreat mode in this laboratory.

With so much information, Chen Qi doubted whether he could learn it all.

Of course, he could definitely learn it.

In terms of consciousness, Chen Qi is at least an entry-level expert.

Time went by day by day, and Chen Qi made a new discovery in his study.

The six fossil fragments of ancient creatures turned out to be the teeth of the ape, no wonder they looked like humans.

After a lot of piecing together, Chen Qi managed to piece together the outline of a tooth.

Unfortunately, apart from storing information, Chen Qi really couldn't think of any use for this thing.

...

After 10 days, the four seniors in the Haiyuan camp finally started their promotion.

Chen Qi, who was dizzy from studying, could finally take a break.

"This is garbage hell, the data is encrypted, I'm exhausted!"

Chen Qi, who was resentful, destroyed the laboratory completely and embarked on the journey back to the camp.

As for the valuable things inside, they had long been stuffed into the space ring by Chen Qi.

There was no trouble along the way. Chen Qi stepped on the rising sun, covered with the glow of the sunset, and appeared at the entrance of the camp in high spirits.

Then he was unlucky to be blocked by someone!
