Chapter 756: Chapter 749: Compatibility

「Half a month later.」

「Ziying Safety Zone, inside a safe house.」

Zhou Yuanjue sat cross-legged in the center of the room as a terrifying energy reaction emanated from his body. However, the houses in the Ziying Safety Zone seemed to employ some kind of absorption system with an extremely high Energy Level. All the fluctuations were completely absorbed by the walls, with none of them escaping.

At this moment, Zhou Yuanjue’s body had taken on the color of Blood Jade, having entered a complete Blood Jade Red Lotus state. However, this was different from before. Now, upon his translucent, Blood Jade-like body, twelve golden veins could be seen circling within him, intersecting with one another to form some kind of profound structure.

If anyone well-versed in ancient Donghua medicine had been in the room, they would have immediately recognized that the areas where these twelve golden veins lay perfectly matched the positions of the human body’s Twelve Main Meridians, without the slightest deviation.

A faint golden luster flowed within the twelve veins, giving them an incredibly miraculous appearance.

As he circulated his power, the Blood Jade Red Lotus materialized around him. Within the lotus itself, twelve golden veins could also be seen coiling and flowing.

WHOOSH!!

Energy roared like a tsunami, completely saturating the room with the color of Blood Jade.

Just then, Zhou Yuanjue slowly opened his eyes.

The terrifying Blood Jade Energy around him receded, and the strange appearance of his body slowly faded as he returned to normal.

He let out a breath and slowly rose from the floor.

’It seems I’ve finally succeeded. As expected of one of the strongest structures within the First layer Transformation Boundary. To successfully integrate this structure, I had to abandon the Qiluo Structure. Otherwise, in my current state, it would have been impossible for me to fully contain this structure’s power.’

’Still, it was well worth the cost.’

Zhou Yuanjue muttered to himself, lightly clenching his fists.

The structure he had chosen to integrate this time was known as the Lotus Vein Structure.

This was one of the strongest structures he could redeem with his current Third-level Authority. He also considered it to have the most development potential and to be the most suitable structure for him, a powerful one documented in the confidential database.

Redeeming the detailed data for this structure alone required one hundred thousand Value Points. Even for someone like Zoros, this was a massive sum. If he hadn’t received a partial advance on his earnings from the Duomoge Organization, he would have been unable to afford such an expensive structure with his remaining Value Points.

He was extremely satisfied with this structure’s effects. In fact, the increase in his Transformation Level from integrating this structure was so drastic that it exceeded the tolerance limits of the First-layer Transformation Boundary, forcing him to uninstall the Qiluo Structure to "make space" for this new one.

The Lotus Vein Structure essentially builds Energy Pipeline Circuits within the body, similar to an internal circulatory system. Through these Energy Pipeline Circuits, one can store, compress, circulate, and accelerate the body’s Energy, thus greatly improving various attributes such as energy reserves, degree of Energy Manipulation, and Physical Strength.

This ability couldn’t help but remind Zhou Yuanjue of the unique Bloodline ability of the Donghua Spirit Guardians’ Qi Clan—the Qi Vein.

The difference was that this ability was on a whole other level compared to the Qi Vein ability.

In the past, Zhou Yuanjue had been extremely interested in the Qi Vein ability. In fact, his strongest ability from one period of his life, the Southern Dipper Immortal Seat, was even based on the principles of the Qi Vein. He had once even had the idea of exploring ways to create a Qi Vein network inside his own body, but he was ultimately unable to implement it.

Now, the Lotus Vein Structure had given him that opportunity.

In truth, the Energy Pipeline Circuits created by the original Lotus Vein Structure did not follow a specific route. One only needed to construct a corresponding number of Energy Circuits based on one’s own capabilities. However, inspired by the Qi Vein ability and meridian theory, Zhou Yuanjue ultimately molded the Lotus Vein into its current form.

Twelve Energy Pipeline Circuits. The Twelve Main Meridians.

The results of this method were far better than he had imagined. He could even sense that, on some profound level, certain secrets of the human body had been activated. Although he hadn’t broken through the First-layer Transformation Boundary, he felt as though his abilities had undergone a sublimation.

’How incredible. It seems that before this, my understanding of my own body’s mysteries and the fundamental structure of life was still far too shallow.’

Zhou Yuanjue muttered to himself. The powerful effects produced by the Lotus Vein Structure’s simulation of the Twelve Main Meridians had given him immense stimulation and inspiration.

It seemed his previous understanding of life structures had been flawed, and his grasp of the true nature of his Simulation Ability was still incomplete.

’When it comes to the life structures one simulates and integrates, it isn’t a case of "the stronger and more bizarre the ability, the better." What truly allows them to reach their full potential is the compatibility between the body and the structure.’

In his pursuit of power, he had nearly lost his way.

’The essence of the Simulation Ability is to constantly learn from the strengths of others and combine them with one’s own situation, thereby achieving continuous breakthroughs and evolution for the body.’

’The foundation of everything is my body, not all sorts of miraculous abilities.’

’Only by finding the right method, using the corresponding structures to achieve compatibility with my body, and advancing this physical form to a higher level can my abilities become their strongest.’

’It seems I have to adjust my path forward. Just because I can integrate a structure doesn’t mean it’s suitable for me...’

’Instead of letting various abilities turn my body into a bizarre monster, I should be using my own body to truly master these simulated structures.’

’I will use various structures to forge a brand new human body.’

Zhou Yuanjue thought to himself, feeling as if he had found his path.

Muscles, bones, nerves, organs, blood vessels, meridians...

’By continuously integrating the corresponding structures, I will make these parts of my body transform. I will enable my body to truly master these structures, forging a perfect physique, and I will make the human life form shine with a dazzling light throughout the universe.’

This was the path he was meant to walk.

’Any other structures that I can’t find a way to make compatible with my body will eventually have to be replaced. I need more Value Points and a higher Authority level to give myself more options...’

’Now that this body’s Transformation Level has reached the First-layer Transformation Boundary, I can finally try the Forging Technique that was unusable for me before.’

Zhou Yuanjue’s expression grew solemn. His spirit, body, and energy achieved a resonant frequency. The very essence of his life opened up as he attempted to resonate with it.

THUMP!!

A violent tremor ran through him, and Zhou Yuanjue couldn’t help but stagger back several steps. Although it wasn’t as disastrous as his last attempt, his expression turned ugly, as if he had suffered considerable internal damage.

It wasn’t a success, but it wasn’t a failure either.

From this attempt, he had begun to understand the knack and the true nature of the Forging Technique.
