Chapter 481: Training The Body With Primordial Particles
At the base in Haierfa, Chen Jin handed the orchids off to the robots for transplanting. He returned to his room to continue to deciphering the inheritance. After all, he came back through the portal so he arrived nearly instantaneously. Guo Yan and Mu Yunhua should still be on their way in their interstellar flight. With the SS-class warship that they were on, safety was a given, but they would still be slower than him. At this point, Chen Jin stopped concerning himself with the two women and started to read the Emperor’s Scripture.
The opening of the emperor was already different from other exercises. The way of “inheritances” was that the information and skills were directly branded into the mind. He only needed to do some simple learning to master the contents of the scripture.
The Emperor’s Scripture did not begin with methods of cultivation, instead, it introduced its origins. It was not only one person who founded this scripture. The scripture was finally made into a book after it had passed through five emperors. Secondly, this book was not about cultivation methods or exercises from the immortal world, it was about training methods that originated from a different world, a different plane. These methods and exercises were completely different from those of the immortal world. There was not one iota of information on immortal power. It emphasized the training of the body; by strengthening and training the body, one could nourish his cultivation. The body and one’s cultivation could be compared to a canteen. If one was to pour water into the canteen of one’s body until it was full, then the water would overflow and spill into the “canteen” of cultivation. However, this alone did not mean anything. There were many capable people and people with unusual abilities in the immortal world, there must be some who had thought of such methods. But the things used to cultivate or train the flesh were very strange, they were not spiritual energy or immortal energy. Instead, they were the force between planes and the primordial particles that had been dispelled from the primal chaos from damaged positions between planes. It was almost impossible if one was practicing such training methods in a stable world or plane, but for Chen Jin, it was a perfect fit. Seeing this point, Chen Jin’s eyes could not help but brighten. These kinds of methods and exercises seemed to be tailor-made for him. There were large amounts of primordial particles dispelled from the Heavenly Realm into the Milky Way where the earth was. He had to strongly suppress the urge to go to Earth immediately to train. He continued to read.
The guy who brought this scripture to the immortal world had trained his body for a long time in the immortal world. Because it was impossible to train according to the original methods in the book when one was in the immortal world, there was a long time when he was unable to train. This was also because he was reluctant to break up previous efforts and cultivate from scratch using methods and exercises of the immortal world. However, he had stunningly achieved the peerless feat of creating a method to manifest another body. With this method, he was able to use his little finger to nurture his doppelganger and inject part of his consciousness into the other him. After cultivating the doppelganger for a while, it would be equivalent to having another self. This other self had no cultivation. Naturally, the doppelganger could cultivate using the methods of the immortal world. The doppelganger created this method from the average doppelganger. At a crucial moment, it could be merged with the original body causing one’s strength to skyrocket. When the bodies were merged, the person would have his own body that had been trained according to the scripture and the cultivation of the doppelganger. Wouldn’t his combat power double? It was as simple as one plus one equals two. Of course, this practice method of creating a doppelganger was also written into the Emperor’s Scripture.
“Hmm, this is a good practice method. How one should train the flesh is rather complicated. It’s not as good as my method,” Chen Jin had the technological support from Haierfa. There was no need to go through the trouble of nurturing a doppelganger. He could just command Alice, “Alice, clone one of me. It should have no consciousness. How long would it take? Hmm, I want an adult’s body.”
After careful analysis, Alice said, “Master, it takes a year to clone in the usual way, and if it needs to grow to adulthood, it would take 19.2 years. But it will be much faster if we use the nutrient stores and spirit stones to nourish the body and transform it into a Sage’s body at the same time. It would take about a year or so.”
“Why is it faster to do both processes at the same time?” Chen Jin asked doubtfully.
“Heh heh, because if both processes take place at the same time, the genes would be changed. And the body of a Sage is achieved by changing the genes, which results in changes to the body’s constitution. By modifying the body of a Sage just a little, we’ll be able to directly modify the genes to that of a youth, thus avoiding the infancy and childhood stages. The body would grow directly into an adult, and the speed would naturally become faster,” Alice smiled facetiously at Chen Jin.
When Chen Jin heard this, he couldn’t help but touch his nose and said, “Ok, you are more of a professional at these things than me. Go ahead and do it. I also need to train myself on how to employ the technique of splitting one’s consciousness and strive to splinter away a thread of my consciousness as soon as possible. ”
The transfer of ones’ consciousness might be unfamiliar to others, but it couldn’t be any more familiar to Chen Jin. After all, it was not just once or twice that he had materialized the NPCs of games into the real world. So there was nothing to worry about. The key was the splitting of consciousness. He indeed knew nothing about this. No, it was better to do more research into the rare scripture before experimenting.
Consciousness was not an illusory thing, it was real. If you wanted to split your consciousness, it had to be strong enough in the first place. With Chen Jin’s cultivation at the Mahayana phase, his consciousness was of course powerful enough. His divine sense could even spread to cover a planet. But from the time that he started cultivation to the present, Chen Jin had always been divorced from the practical applications of his cultivation methods and power. He rarely used his cultivation. He had always been using technology to fight against his enemies. He did not understand many types of common cultivation knowledge. He could be described as an idiot with a high level of cultivation. Fortunately, he had a rare scripture, otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how to begin splitting his consciousness.
After a month or so, Chen Jin had split his consciousness, and he raised that separated thread of consciousness tenderly in his body. Although this thread of consciousness was much weaker than his main consciousness, it would sometimes interfere with himself. This drove him mad. What was this anyway? He was fine but now he had messed with himself to the point that he was just like a schizophrenic. Fortunately, there was a soul in the body of the clone so he did not need to split a portion of his soul for the clone. Otherwise, he couldn’t even predict what kind of muddle he would create.
“Alice, it’s almost been a month, how is the clone coming along?” Chen Jin asked Alice.
“Master, the clone is almost fully mature. It will be ‘out of the oven’ tomorrow.”
“Okay, okay…” Out of the oven? Chen Jin was exasperated. Motherfucker, this is my body that we’re talking about. Out of the oven, do you think I’m a dish of food?
No longer paying attention to Alice, Chen Jin massaged his forehead and walked into the transmission passageway. He returned to the palm-sized travel device in the immortal world and then went through the device again to arrive at the Chen family’s fortress on Earth.
He felt the celestial particles in the air, it was as if the concentration had gotten even lower. In a few years, even the Sages wouldn’t be able to maintain the current realm.
Chen Jin sat on the master seat and ordered the people around him. “Fetch Chen Junfeng,”
A moment later, a middle-aged man arrived in front of him and bowed his head. He was flabbergasted but still said obediently and cleverly, “Grandfather, congratulations on the great improvements in your amazing powers and breaking through into new realms. You’ve only regained your youthfulness as you age. I have nothing but the deepest admiration for you.”
Chen Jin palmed his forehead with a gloomy expression. What was this? When had this well-behaved grandson learned to be so glib? Regaining my youth? It would be great had he stopped at saying how my powers had improved, why add that part about getting young again. From the moment that he returned, he was either needled by Alice or his grandson. It seemed that he had to “educate” them well, otherwise, what was this even?
“Ok, Junfeng, stop with the compliments. Did anything happen when I wasn’t around?”
Seeing the strange look on Chen Jin’s face, Chen Junfeng immediately rectified his expression and said, “Grandpa, everything is still normal, but the concentration of the celestial particles have been getting steadily lower. As a result, many practitioners here can’t continue cultivating.”
“So it’s like that,” Chen Jin seemed to have predicted that he would say something like this. He continued, “I will pass onto you a method of practice that you can use to train your physical body. It doesn’t use celestial particles, but primordial particles.”
