Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 896: Be Down-to-earth

Demon Bone's pupils split from eight to sixteen parts, creating an eerie kaleidoscope of patterns shifting within the eyes.

The body of Demon Bone emanated a shimmering aura of Law, as the Power of Nirvana within him constantly converged towards his eyes.

At this moment, Tian Xin, who was observing from a distance, had lost focus in her eyes, resembling someone with her soul out of her body. She could view her own body from a godlike perspective in the sky.

This sensation was incredibly strange; Tian Xin felt as though she existed and yet did not, her sense of self was so diminished it was hardly conceivable. Conversely, her sensitivity to everything around her became exceptionally keen.

Suddenly, she felt as if chains appeared out of nowhere, binding her body and causing her immense discomfort.

The mere overflow of energy from Demon Bone exerting the Great Spirit Communication Technique to his limits had already put Tian Xin into a state of Divine Travel Vast Void.

Lin Shen's gaze became lost again; Demon Bone did not believe he could regain consciousness.

The fourth stage of the Great Spirit Communication Technique was already the limit for Demon Bone and could only be initiated in an overdrawn state.

Under normal circumstances, if one simply wanted to experience the spirit communication state, the first stage was more than enough.

The second stage could help people enhance their spiritual intelligence; this was what they called awakening the spiritual intelligence.

Even for those who were hopelessly ignorant and had extremely low spiritual intelligence, the third stage could awaken it in them.

However, even the third stage was ineffective on Lin Shen; it could neither awaken his spiritual intelligence nor initiate spirit communication.

Now at the fourth stage, all Demon Bone hoped for was to enable Lin Shen to communicate with spirits. As for awakening his spiritual intelligence, he dared not even contemplate it now.

Demon Bone had tutored countless disciples throughout his life; he had seen all levels of stupidity, all kinds of poor talents. But he had never seen anyone as lacking as Lin Shen—it was a first in his entire life.

That someone like this could even embark on the evolutionary path and reach Nirvana Level, in Demon Bone's eyes, must mean Lin Shen had been an exceptionally good person in a past life—no, for eight past lives—accumulating virtue for eight generations. Only then was he fortunate to meet his family in this life, who at all costs helped him cultivate and reach the point he was at today.

Previously, Demon Bone had wanted to teach Lin Shen a lesson, to show him the extent of his capabilities. But now he had completely abandoned such thoughts.

Such a fool should never have set out on the path of cultivation. For such a person to practice was a mere waste of resources; it would be better to give up early.

If someone like Lin Shen could become Immortal, Demon Bone would be willing to stand on his head and defecate.

When Demon Bone saw Lin Shen's eyes becoming clear again, he knew the fourth stage of the Great Spirit Communication Technique had also failed.

By now, Demon Bone was certain that Lin Shen was less useful than a rock in a latrine; he definitely had no chance of comprehending the Laws and advancing to Immortality in this lifetime.

Demon Bone stopped using the Great Spirit Communication Technique; there was no point in continuing any further.

"Demon Master, there's blood on your face, are you all right?" Lin Shen said, looking at Demon Bone whose eyes, ears, and nostrils were all bleeding, his expression oddly concerned.

"No worries, what else do you want to learn?" Demon Bone wiped the blood from his face and said.

The fourth stage of the Great Spirit Communication Technique was excessively draining for him, so it was normal to feel a bit overextended.

Lin Shen stared at Demon Bone in disbelief; he hadn't been taught anything yet. Where did "what else do you want to learn" come from?

Realizing his previous statement might have been inappropriate, Demon Bone continued, "The paths of Law are countless, comprehending them all is as difficult as ascending to heaven. You should take it one step at a time, start by comprehending one Law first."

With that, Demon Bone handed Lin Shen an item: "This is an Immortal Level Spirit Base, severely damaged though it is. However, it still contains a trace of spirituality and Law Power. If you keep it with you, you will naturally sense the Law within. Over time, you might comprehend this Law..."

"Demon Master, isn't it said this method has many downsides..." Lin Shen accepted the Spirit Base, looking at Demon Bone with a complex expression and asked.

"Every advantage has its disadvantage; you just start by slowly comprehending. It's better for a person not to aim too high and instead take things step by step... All right... That's all the teaching for today... Go and comprehend it on your own... Once you've grasped some clues... we can proceed to the next step of the teaching..." Demon Bone said as he got up to leave, thinking to himself, "Comprehend my ass, there's no need to teach him further. An innately obstructed holy body managing to cultivate is already a miracle, aspiring to be Immortal? Immortal my ass!"

After Demon Bone left, Lin Shen examined the damaged Spirit Base given to him; it was a crystal-clear hairpin adorned with a pink plum blossom pattern.

However, the hairpin seemed to have been split in two, with only half remaining. Even if there was spirituality left, it was probably not much.

Lin Shen looked towards Tian Xin, only to see him sitting there with open eyes, but the eyes were lifeless, the focus completely off, pupils dilated, with a scattered gaze.

Lin Shen was alarmed and hurried over to check on Tian Xin.

"He's fine, don't mind him, this is good for him," Yan Ruyu said from the side. She had seen through Demon Bone's tricks and knew that this was extremely beneficial for Tian Xin.

Lin Shen then settled down and sat beside, waiting for Tian Xin to recover.

Lin Shen held the half hairpin given by Demon Bone, not really with the intent to comprehend Law but to check if Demon Bone had tampered with it somehow, to ensure he wouldn't unknowingly follow his path.

After some examination and finding nothing amiss, it was just a severely damaged Immortal Spirit Base.

Indeed, inside the Spirit Base were some traces of faint spirituality and weak Law Power.

But Demon Bone had not mentioned what kind of Law Power it was. Lin Shen tried to sense it but couldn't identify the type of Law.

Lin Shen tried for a while, and although the hairpin allowed him to sense the presence of the Law, it was like a blind man feeling an elephant—only able to perceive a part, which wasn't much help in comprehending the essence of Law.

Moreover, the Law fluctuations within the hairpin were so weak; Lin Shen had not understood the powerful Law of the Ice Lotus previously, so this weaker Law was even less useful.

Just as he was about to put away the hairpin, something occurred to Lin Shen: "This hairpin is an Immortal Spirit Base. Even though the spirituality and Law Power inside are weak, it is a good vessel itself. Perhaps it can be used to study the Law Matrix."

With that thought, Lin Shen utilized the Three-Star System, causing the particles of the Contrarian and the Inheritance Fan to intertwine with his own, then he mobilized the Law Array within his body.

Controlling the Law Array, Lin Shen began to try channeling its particles into the hairpin.
