Chapter 261: The Speed ​​of Cthulhu Cultivation

When the external threats disappeared, the cells wanted to multiply and build more organs for Lin Yao’s own ‘good’. Professor Li also found it very difficult to deal with this unique characteristic. Once a milder energy was injected, the chances of a malignant mutation would become 100%.

Fortunately, Lin Yao’s sunlight energy was different. In addition to replenishing the energy of the body and healing it, the power of light derived from the Celestial Tree was closely related to the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

The Kabbalah Tree of Life contained all the knowledge in the world, as well as the path from man to ‘the perfect man’. This was an evolution that enabled mortals to evolve and become like the One God.

This was Lin Yao’s evolution path, and his Light Adjustment ability was moving him toward the realm of perfection.

These activated cells also wanted Lin Yao to evolve. The malignant mutations had occurred because the 60 trillion cells were not united and were fighting against one another. Now, with the power of light that filled Lin Yao’s body, acting as a guide and a bridge to pave the way ahead for the cells, his body was striving toward perfection.

According to his own image, Jehovah (God) had formed man out of the dust on the ground and breathed life into his nostrils. Afterward, man had become a living soul that could speak and walk. God had named him Adam.

One could understand based on these words that the human body was identical to God. Therefore, Lin Yao’s body shape didn’t change much after the evolution.

The only thing that made him frown was the simultaneous devouring of the 60 trillion cells, which had consumed too much of his light energy.

‘After exhausting the light energy, this development will stop. When I have enough energy in the future, I’ll have to upgrade the Celestial Tree immediately!’

After making these two decisions in his mind, Lin Yao quietly waited for the development to end.

However, Lin Yao’s way of thinking was too simple. Perhaps the descendants of the Chinese were not identical to the descendants created by the One God (Yahwei), or the Celestial Tree was ultimately not the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and the path from a human to a perfect person was not yet complete. It could also be because there were too many useless genes in the human body.

In short, after three minutes of development, strange changes began to occur on Lin Yao’s body again.

This time, messy organs were not growing all over his body. However, black hair grew rapidly on his body, and scales grew on his skin.

Professor Li was taken back by this change. He had indeed conducted similar experiments before, but the only person who had persisted for more than three minutes was Lin Yao.

Even though the others had gone through benign mutations, the time they’d spent in the magnetic field could be counted in seconds.

As mentioned before, there were many thunder geniuses and numerous people with healing talents. However, very few people possessed both of these abilities. When it came to Cthulhu Cultivation, having a healing ability alone was not enough. The healing power also had to guide one into a path of complete evolution, and no one had achieved this to date. This was why Lin Yao was now the best test product of the technological version of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, as well as the one that had gone the farthest thus far.

However, his status was not something that a test product could compare with. Although Professor Li very much wanted to see the changes that would follow, he suppressed this feeling and immediately told Lin Yao about the situation, giving the latter a choice.

“A unique change that I don’t recognize either has occurred. What do you plan to do?”

There was no need for Professor Li to say this, as Lin Yao had also felt this change.

On the other hand, he was personally experiencing it and could feel it more clearly than Professor Li.

While black hair grew on the surface of his body, Lin Yao could even vaguely feel that the real evolution was coming.

‘The first three minutes are merely strengthening my body. The real evolution is going to happen afterward. If this continues, my life is going to change by leaps and bounds!’

The evolution of his body was tempting Lin Yao. Just as his body was yearning to evolve, Lin Yao shouted at Professor Li to stop the development.

This didn’t seem to be in line with his usual gambling style. In the past, Lin Yao had always seemed very radical.

His insistence on cultivating Heaven and Earth Manifestation and making a clean break from the Flowery Dojo were proof of his radical character.

However, this radicalism only existed on the surface. Being brave and not reckless was Lin Yao’s true style. He would only do things that he was certain of.

For example, he wanted to cultivate Heaven and Earth Manifestation because he believed in the Bodhi Tree’s comprehension ability. He had made a clean break from the Flowery Sect and challenged Lǚ Yang directly because he had Heaven-and-Human Oneness backing him up. He planned to challenge the 47th-in-rank King Kong, Yuan Hao, because he had already condensed the Golden Warlion successfully and had some confidence about winning.

It was not as if Lin Yao had never retreated strategically. While he had been in Ninghai City and had discovered that he could get energy points by eliminating freaks, he had stepped forward without any hesitation. However, after one night of patrolling, he’d temporarily withdrawn from the patrol team after realizing that his personal safety might be compromised. This was a display of his maturity.

That was also the case this time. Cthulhu Cultivation was too terrifying. Although the progress was rapid, he was afraid that this would backfire. In addition, Lin Yao had no confidence in what would happen next, so he naturally would not proceed with the second stage of development.

Of course, he wouldn’t give up on it either.

‘I’ll research this for a longer time or let my Celestial Tree advance by one level first. Anyway, this won’t take up too much time.’

After Lin Yao made this decision, Professor Li reduced the intensity of the magnetic field shrouding Lin Yao immediately. This magnetic field could not be shut down instantly and needed to be reduced step by step. Lin Yao took this opportunity to quickly use the thunderbolt’s power of destruction and eliminated the black hair, as well as other foreign objects on his body. At the same time, the power of light dealt with the starving feeling of the cells and also used the path from human to perfect person to keep Lin Yao’s appearance human.

Soon, the electromagnetic wave radiation was reduced to a certain extent. Without the guidance of the strong electromagnetic waves, Lin Yao’s body cells also calmed down due to the self-activation. Lin Yao heaved a sigh of relief.

Although it was over, the complete activation of his body cells was too terrifying. Lin Yao’s scalp still felt numb from it, and he dared not let his thoughts run astray.

When the magnetic field subsided completely, the activation of Lin Yao’s surrounding cells also stopped temporarily. The silent cells made Lin Yao feel as if he had regained control of his body. 60 trillion cells had become stronger at the same time. Even if it was only for a short time, Lin Yao, who had been ‘reinstated’, could also feel the remarkable strength in his body.

‘My physical strength has more than doubled!’

After coming to this conclusion, Lin Yao was really shocked.

His original physical strength had already reached Silver Body 45%, and the three minutes of strengthening had more than doubled it. This speed, if it was revealed to others, would freak out countless people.

‘The Cthulhu style is crazy, but it can make one gain strength easily… No, I shouldn’t overthink. This method is too dangerous and it’s not something for ordinary people to use. Even if the slightest accident occurs, I’ll either go crazy or get deformed.’

Shaking his head and abandoning the urge to immediately proceed with the second development, Lin Yao sank his mind into his Sea of Consciousness to look at his attribute interface. As he had expected, his current physical strength, as it was stated on the interface, was really around 90%.

This was a huge leap. Although it couldn’t be described as reaching the top with a single leap, Lin Yao had some difficulty controlling this newfound, herculean strength.

He lifted the brain domain limiter and used his powerful mind to control the body. It was only after half a minute that Lin Yao managed to regain control of his body.

‘This Cthulhu Immortal Cultivation method is really terrifying. I’ve only used it once and it has already increased my physical strength by 45%. With this speed, I’ll be able to achieve real success with Silver Body in about a month… Wait a minute. Can my strength really increase by 45% with each use of Cthulhu Cultivation?’

Lin Yao had a cautious expression on his face when he posed this question inwardly. He was not afraid that his first try would be the most effective one and subsequent ones would be less effective. This was normal when one cultivated to become immortal through the Middle Way. Even those who relied on potions were afraid of this. Nevertheless, when all his body cells adopted the Cthulhu style, Lin Yao could feel through Agile Mind that his next cultivation would not yield just 45% but twice as much. His progress would increase by 90% in one go!

‘My Silver Body could reach 180%, 360%, and then 720% in the future!’

In other words, with four more cultivation sessions, Lin Yao would be able to develop his physical body to twice as much as 720%, which was Silver Body 1,440%. This was on the premise that Lin Yao would still be alive at the time and Lin Yao would still be Lin Yao!
