How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

"The body is mysterious and unfathomable, within it is a gate called the Gate of Creation. Each person is unique, and when the gate opens, humans and Gu unite as one. The Gu can transform and be transformed; the Gu poison is self-contained."

What does this mean?

The human body has a gate called the "Gate of Creation," which is the most crucial aspect of Gu technique. If this gate isn't opened, Gu is Gu and human is human. Forcing the human and Gu to merge can only result in the power and drawbacks of the Gu rushing together with the human, turning them into what? A monstrous hybrid neither human nor Gu!

What exactly would it look like?

It can be referenced by the earlier Gushan elder, who played with Corpse Gu and turned himself into a monster neither human nor ghost.

This is called gaining the power of the Gu while also having to bear the cost of its backlash.

But if the Gate of Creation is opened, the body's mysterious system will activate, using the Gu as nourishment, absorbing the beneficial parts for the body, and eliminating the harmful parts.

Humans gain all the powers of the Gu, and can even refine them further.

The fatal drawbacks of the Gu itself won't enter the body system but will instead be expelled as waste.

Lin Xiaosu was deeply shocked by this theory.

It's discussing Gu, but why does it sound more like genetic modification?

The Gate of Creation is miraculous for Gu technique.

But what if it's used for genetic modification?

Wouldn't it be the perfect breaking method for the genetic bottleneck?

Achieving the benefits of genes while rejecting genetic defects, isn't the two-fold method countless genetic tycoons globally have been searching for just hidden within the Gate of Creation?

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Yixiang handed him a cup of tea.

Lin Xiaosu took the cup: "I'm thinking, the Gate of Creation, theoretically, follows some rule, but where is this rule?"

"Everyone has their own different creation, which might in itself mean that there is no rule," said Yixiang.

"There should still be a rule, it's just that it's hard for ordinary people to capture this rule. Should I try energy sensing on you again?"

Yixiang rolled her eyes: "You've used this excuse to play me four times, each time claiming to sense energy, and in the end, you sensed water instead."

"Isn't that just your favorite?"

Yixiang was biting back a curse: "You scoundrel, you didn't go downstairs last night, my mother has been off all day today."

"I didn't notice anything off with her, she's smiling like a flower today."

"Didn't you see the story behind that smile? Maybe..." She abruptly stopped talking.

Because what she wanted to say was a bit difficult to express.

She was a bit worried about her mother's upcoming reaction.

Her mother's reaction would probably have two outcomes: either putting a Gu on him or urging him to propose quickly.

Putting a Gu, Yixiang couldn't accept—her dictionary hopes her brother loves her not due to the threat of Gu, but from genuine affection from the heart.

Letting him propose, Yixiang from the bottom of her heart hoped for it, but she also knew this wasn't realistic. Ever since she was with him, there was an agreement that she wouldn't affect his prospects of finding a wife externally, she couldn't ask him to forsake an entire garden outside for her alone.

"Come, let's try again!" Lin Xiaosu lifted her up.

Yixiang softly murmured: "Brother, you really should take it easy, I feel like you're... you're getting stronger."

As soon as she said this, Lin Xiaosu suddenly froze.

Completely stalled with the subsequent actions.

Yixiang lifted her face, saw his expression, filled with a thoughtful gaze...

"Brother you..."

Lin Xiaosu raised a finger, pressing it on her lips.

Three seconds passed!

Lin Xiaosu suddenly laughed: "Yixiang, you gave me an inspiration."

"What?"

"You said I'm getting stronger!"

Yixiang blushed intensely, that was pillow talk, yet you're bringing it up here...

However, in Lin Xiaosu's mind, this was absolutely not pillow talk, it was a true inspiration.

His strength increasing referred to his physical body!

Why is his physical body getting stronger?

It's because the Heavenly Star Tears continuously modify him.

His Heavenly Star Tears divide into three levels; the first level, the Skin Heavenly Star, has been completely acquired by Saintess Qian Ling.

The second-level Flesh Star is shattered and merged into the flesh.

The third-level Bone Star is the true "Heavenly Star" on the cultivation path.

With the Flesh Star merging into the flesh, the body gets stronger, strength increases, unrelated to cultivation, purely due to improvement in genetic lineage.

Improving genetic lineage itself is genetic modification, isn't it?

Could it be that he who initially rejected genetic modification, firmly choosing martial arts cultivation, cryptically underwent genetic modification?

However, there are no gene modification burdens on him.

He has no rejection days, his body shows no symptoms of rejection.

This is the manifestation of opening the "Gate of Creation!"

Could it be he actually opened his own Gate of Creation without even realizing it?

He must try again!

This life might only have this one chance to experiment.

Since he has already nurtured eight Heavenly Star Tears... no, to be precise, eight rounds!

There is one last chance left.

Upon completing this step, his cultivation path reaches its end.

Lin Xiaosu's consciousness sank within his body, seeing the Blood Tower above, the swaying Heavenly Star Tear.

He sat cross-legged, True Qi circulated, the Skin Heavenly Star Tear fell, entering the Secret Realm Space.

Next, the Flesh Heavenly Star Tear also dripped, similarly entered the Secret Realm Space.

Followed by the Bone Heavenly Star Tear.

This Heavenly Star Tear also successfully fell, rising into the sky.

Above the Blood Tower, eight stars shine brightly.

Lin Xiaosu felt a small ache in his heart, originally at this moment, this should have been the grand day for nine stars breaking into the Observing Heaven realm.

But now, only eight stars!

Eight stars, yet unable to reach perfection.

His ability to observe heaven is far beyond reach.

This heavenly ladder breaks here.

Alright then, the cultivation road breaks, there's nothing to regret. I'll give my all to accomplish this great thing, observe the entire process of how this Flesh Star influences the physical body, decipher the mysterious Gate of Creation.

This Flesh Star was extracted from the Secret Realm Space.

With a gentle tremor, it transformed into a crystalline energy, following the usual route, entering his bloodstream, his Primordial Spirit as Eyes, capturing abnormalities in every cell of his body comprehensively.

In just a moment, he sensed it!

Beneath the Dan Tian Blood Tower, a place automatically opened, devouring the energy of the Flesh Star and then transmitting it.

This place, where blood and energy mingle, exchanges energies, mysterious and inscrutable.

His Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit delved deeply into this place, Lin Xiaosu's entire body shook violently, before him, it seemed as if a whole new world had opened...

Here seems like the root of a giant tree.

The tree uses this as its root, the organs everywhere on its body are the tree's branches and leaves, nutrients enter here, nourishing the whole body, collectively achieving the tree's lush growth.

This is the Gate of Creation!

He actually had opened it long ago.

This person who claimed "doesn't accept genetic modification," this "Human World Clarity," unknowingly embarked on the path of Genetic Transformation.

However, his genetic modification had an ancient term: Body Cultivation.

Body Cultivation refers to strengthening the human bloodline, enhancing the human physique.

Others' genetic modifications involve injecting all kinds of odd genes into the human body, whereas his modification entails injecting the Flesh Star Tear into the "human tree's" root, undergoing transformation by the "Gate of Creation," to achieve the goal of removing impurities and extracting essence.

This is the connection between ancient and modern.

This is the analogous door between the cultivation path and genetic transformation.

Lin Xiaosu opened his eyes and looked at Yixiang in his embrace.

Yixiang was stimulated by his passionate and somewhat surprised gaze. Based on experience, next, he would use a series of shameful methods on her, making her unable to withstand it, and then well...

The methods really began.

And the starting phase was at the most embarrassing spot.

Yixiang began to breathe softly.

But her ears suddenly heard brother's voice: "Yixiang, move your Blood Butterfly, I will help you find the Gate of Creation."

Blood Butterfly!

Yixiang's Lifebound Gu.

This Lifebound Gu's functionality is extremely powerful, even when it previously battled against Gushan's lifebound force, it was fully demonstrated.

However, that's the ultimate weapon for defeating enemies, is it still needed when in harmony with brother now? Yet, Yixiang was shocked by his next words – I'll help you find the Gate of Creation.

"How should I move it?"

"Activate your Lifebound Gu to create a flow of energy, leave the rest to me!" Lin Xiaosu said.

Yixiang activated the Lifebound Gu.

Between her eyebrows, suddenly appeared the shadow of a butterfly.

This butterfly was elusive, seeming hidden, yet visible.

A mystical flow of energy permeated.

Lin Xiaosu pointed a finger at her Dantian, his Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit entered her body, capturing the energy pattern formed by the Lifebound Gu.

Everyone's Gate of Creation is different.

Dependent on the differences in the human body and the differences in the Gu technique.

To find that mysterious and profound place through the convergence of Gu technique energies is inherently impossible, but Lin Xiaosu wanted to create a miracle.

He aimed to use his unparalleled insight, infinitesimal judgment, and his familiarity with various human organs to find this crucial point.

Time gradually passed, Lin Xiaosu remained fully focused.

Suddenly, the Blood Butterfly between her eyebrows gently flapped its wings.

With this flap, Lin Xiaosu suddenly sensed a place, as if ripples radiated outward.

This place, in her right chest.

His Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit reached this location, sensed the center of the ripples, his heart rate quickened.

Found it!

The energy converges here, this is her "Gate of Creation"!

She couldn't achieve Unity of Human and Worm because this Gate of Creation wasn't opened.

Lin Xiaosu's Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit merged with the ultra-strong spiritual power, simultaneously adding True Qi, probing toward the ripples' center little by little, finally, piercing through!

Upon penetration!

Yixiang softly moaned, very much resembling her first time, a bit of pain, yet more was comfort...

The Blood Butterfly between her eyebrows suddenly passed through her meridians, reaching this location, plunged into this gate...

At this moment, she completely changed.

Her entire body radiated a hazy glow, a misty light, within the bamboo house, it's as if countless butterflies flitted back and forth, celebrating the Blood Butterfly finding its home.

"Brother, I... I feel very strange, an extremely strange sensation," Yixiang's voice seemed to come from a dream.

"What kind of sensation?"

"I... I'm ascending to heaven!" Yixiang exclaimed!

With this exclamation, she lifted off the ground, light as a butterfly.

Lin Xiaosu was stunned.

Staring blankly at her defying physical logic, suspended within the bamboo house.

Open the Gate of Creation, Unity of Human and Worm!

Her Gu is the Blood Butterfly.

The first unlocked ability turned out to be levitation in the void!

She had always been an ordinary person!

Her physical body never had combat power.

But now she can float in the void!
