Chapter 84 - 83: Upgrade

Chapter 84: Chapter 83: Upgrade

The brand-new Source Power system, in turn, remodels the body in all aspects.

Gao Xuan’s stable genetic chain begins its second mutation under such stimulation.

Generally speaking, a cultivator needs a genetic potion as guidance to barely control the direction of genetic mutation.

Mutating the genetic sequence directly like Gao Xuan is very likely to cause genetic collapse.

Because there are nearly countless possibilities in genetic sequence recombination. Even the strongest light computer cannot calculate every possibility.

There’s a crucial point here: the light computer cannot operate Source Power, nor can it truly understand the essence of Source Power. Thus, it cannot deduce how much change Source Power and the human genes can trigger.

In the cosmos, there is a general consensus that only those who master Spiritual Power and Source Power are truly intelligent life forms.

Therefore, ordinary cultivators need genetic potions and appropriate Source Guiding Techniques. Only then can they walk a correct path.

Gao Xuan doesn’t have this problem; he is too familiar with the Aurora Sword, too familiar with the Six-winged Celestial Cicada. He also clearly knows which direction he should choose for evolution.

Rebirth gives him the chance to make fine adjustments during this critical genetic sequence evolution.

Just this little bit of adjustment could increase his power limit by 300%. The difference is enormous.

After several more fine-tunings, if he can smoothly reach the Golden Realm, he will be dozens of times stronger than he was at rebirth.

Indeed, there are different tiers even within the Golden Realm.

Before rebirth, Gao Xuan was considered to be in the lower-middle range among Golden powerhouses. His only expertise was stealth assassinations, with terrifying explosive power. This allowed him to kill enemies much stronger than himself.

But his foundation was relatively weak, playing a minuscule role in real powerhouse battles.

Rebirth allows for the completion of a theoretically Perfect Golden Body. Becoming the strongest Golden powerhouse!

Under Gao Xuan’s guidance with Spiritual Power, the mutation at the genetic level starts recomposing according to his will.

The genetic group at the cellular level undergoes recombination, then recomposes and aligns again, forming a brand-new stable genetic sequence.

During this process, a large amount of Spiritual Power and energy is consumed.

Gao Xuan handles it effortlessly, completing the second mutation of his genetic sequence in just three hours. He successfully steps into the seventh-level Source Power tier.

With the successful mutation of his genetic sequence, significant changes occur within Gao Xuan’s body.

His bones and muscles become tougher with more explosive power. His internal organs further shrink, their structure becoming more stable but functionalities more complex.

His skin becomes more delicate, emitting the unique luster of life, not becoming plasticized or glassy.

The overall body shape actually becomes slightly slimmer, an imperceptible change to the naked eye. The body’s form, lines, and proportions are closer to perfection.

Even his face becomes more handsome.

It’s simply a slight adjustment to the facial lines, yet it improves the overall impression by at least ten points.

For example, if Gao Xuan’s original appearance score was ninety-nine, he now rates one hundred and nineteen.

This handsomeness reaches a nearly perfect state of life, not only physically but also in the spiritual magnetic field and genetic level, creating a true beauty.

This beauty surpasses human aesthetic norms, even transcending racial boundaries.

Any intelligent life can sense the beauty of Gao Xuan’s life.

Gao Xuan isn’t surprised by this change; the evolutionary path of the Six-winged Celestial Cicada is perfect life.

The Aurora Sword Technique is also the most beautiful swordsmanship in the cosmos. It matches extremely well with the Six-winged Celestial Cicada.

The combination of the two determines his genetic sequence’s evolutionary direction as infinitely approaching perfection.

In his previous life, he strayed off the path and continued astray. Reaching the Golden Realm, he completely took the wrong path.

As they say, "A slight difference leads to a thousand miles of error."

This phrase is perfect for describing genetic sequence evolution.

Reborn, Gao Xuan finally takes a nearly perfect path of evolution.

After completing the genetic sequence evolution, the star wheel at Gao Xuan’s brow transforms into a hexagonal shape, deep blue-green in color.

The change in color and shape of the star wheel signifies its elevation. When the star wheel turns pure blue-green, it indicates his ability to advance to the Silver Level.

At present, that step is still far away. Even with Silver Source Crystal Stone assistance, it takes three to five months.

Gao Xuan opens his data panel, thoroughly inspecting his new changes.

Name: Gao Xuan

Gender: Male

Age: 18 years.

Height: 188.88888 cm.

Weight: 100000.00000 g.

Constitution: 21 (Celestial Dragon Eye +5)

Spirit: 29

Power: 18 (Celestial Dragon Eye +1)

Agility: 24 (Six-winged Celestial Cicada +5 Aurora Sword +2)

Source Power Level: Level 7 (Bronze)

Total Source Power: 10,000 units

Aurora Swordsmanship: Golden Fifth Level (restricted by body Source Power, Silver Level 1)

Flying Swallow Dual Blade Technique: Golden Fifth Level (condition-restricted, combat power equals Silver Level 1)

Five Elements Twelve Techniques: Golden Fifth Level. (Bronze Fifth Level)

Six-winged Celestial Cicada: Golden Level Marvel (Bronze)

Godslaying Sword: Golden Level Marvel (Black Iron)

Celestial Dragon Eye: Golden Level Marvel (Black Iron)

Invisible Cicada Wing Sword: Silver Level. (Bronze Fifth Level)

With this genetic sequence evolution, his constitution increased by one point, agility increased by two points, power increased by two points. Source power doubled.

This enhancement is comprehensive, marking a major leap in strength.

Just looking at the data, he is now much stronger than An Shirong.

Not to mention the unparalleled secret technique and exceptional marvels he holds, incomparable to An Shirong.

Of course, An Shirong is at the bottom among tenth-level experts.

Luojia is also a tenth-level expert, able to kill An Shirong single-handedly.

Though Gao Xuan’s current data is strong, it only compares well to ordinary tenth-level experts. There is still a considerable gap compared to Luojia.

Not to mention Luojia’s possession of exceptional marvels and his faith in the Evil God, with endless bizarre divine techniques. To kill Luojia, relying on current power alone is far from enough.

Gao Xuan reviewed his current data, sighed silently, still too weak.

Fortunately, he still has Alien Beast Blood Crystal and Purple Dragon Pearl.

Alien Beast Blood Crystal is meant for the Godslaying Sword. Purple Dragon Pearl is for the Celestial Dragon Eye.

The Godslaying Sword wants to upgrade, it must absorb more essence blood and spiritual essence.

Actually, essence blood is secondary; the key is spiritual essence. In Godslaying Sword, "god" refers to spiritual spirit.

The more spiritual spirits slain, the greater the power of the Godslaying Sword.

Alien Beast Blood Crystal is a crystallization of Alien Beast’s spirit and flesh, well-suited for the Godslaying Sword. Now the Godslaying Sword only has Black Iron Level power; absorbing these Alien Beast Blood Crystals should raise it to Bronze Level.

The Celestial Dragon Eye wants to upgrade, and it needs to collect items related to dragons to extract power from them.

Items related to dragons essentially refer to special Source Power items corresponding to the Celestial Dragon Eye.

The special Source Power of Purple Dragon Pearl greatly benefits the Celestial Dragon Eye.

Ten Purple Dragon Pearls should upgrade the Celestial Dragon Eye to Bronze Level. Unfortunately, once it reaches Bronze Level, Purple Dragon Pearl becomes useless to the Celestial Dragon Eye.

Gao Xuan also obtained the Shadow Servant marvel from An Shirong, but this item is somewhat troublesome to use, requiring daily incense burning.

He gave the Shadow Servant to Yun Qingshang. Her quiet nature allows her time to incense burning.

As his main battle tank, Yun Qingshang also needs a life-saving marvel.

Gao Xuan activates the Godslaying Sword, arranging ten Alien Beast Blood Crystals.

Having just completed his upgrade, his body, spirit, and source power are not in peak state, yet his current state is exceptionally good.

Gao Xuan feels this time he should succeed in upgrading the Godslaying Sword.

If the initial attempt were unsuccessful, once the Godslaying Sword gets accustomed to the power of Alien Beast Blood Crystals, the difficulty of upgrading would increase several-fold.

Even with Wei Yue as a major sponsor, wouldn’t withstand that level of consumption.

Gao Xuan smoothed the Godslaying Sword with his hand; its blade emitted intense blood light as the ten Alien Beast Blood Crystals quickly melted into clusters of red flame light.

The fierce spiritual fluctuations of reluctance and anger from Alien Beasts at their dying moments were simultaneously released.

Gao Xuan, unmoving, held the trembling Godslaying Sword as countless dormant demons within the blade roared violently under spiritual stimulation.

The sudden outburst of demonic murmurs surged like a tsunami, like a landslide, relentlessly pummeling Gao Xuan’s spirit.

Blood light washed over Gao Xuan’s face and body, resembling a demon.
