Yan Jinjin explained to Li Zheng the wonders of the Formless Body and also ntioned a few other extraordinary physiques that were slightly less magical.
For instance, Zhan Zhouzhou’s Celestial Sword Dao Body, which is renowned alongside the Overlord Blade Body. Both of these enhance one’s understanding of a particular Dao, and as long as cultivation proceeds without mishap, these individuals are unmatched among their peers.
"My lord, through extensive research over these days, I discovered so things that even Professor Renae hadn’t noticed," Yan Jinjin whispered. "Currently, all the known and recorded Genetic Abilities are nearly all related to physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Based on these characteristics, I have roughly classified Genetic Abilities into several categories."
Yan Jinjin sorted out his wording, trying to free his mind from the concepts of Immortal Cultivation: "The first type is called the ’Elental System’. This ability encompasses a wide range, including the manipulation of fire, water, ice, and even lightning, light, and shadow."
"The second is called the ’Materialization System’. The abilities in this category often require the use of known materials to be effective, such as controlling rocks to strike or tal to kill, similar to the Artifact Cultivators from my hotown. Their combat ability is directly proportional to the strength of the objects they control, the stronger the object, the stronger the battle power."
"The third is the ’Specialization System’. These abilities are quite special, with a variety much broader than the Elental System. Though they offer little direct combat enhancent, they possess all sorts of wondrous effects that can even affect... fate."
"The fourth is the ’Enhancent System’. Abilities in this category rarely manifest externally, primarily strengthening oneself. This could an becoming stronger, or more robust, and so on."
"The abilities you currently possess mostly belong to the first category, the ’Elental System’, related to fire, ice, electricity, and such. There are also two abilities that should count as ’Specialization System’ and ’Enhancent System’, though I haven’t specifically researched their effects so it’s unclear what these abilities are."
Yan Jinjin spoke eloquently, showing no trace of being an ignorant cultivator just a short ti ago. For those who didn’t know him, they might think this was a researcher with at least thirty years’ experience in a laboratory.
"I know about the Elental System, Ice and Fire Attachnt, Explosion, and Shaping. The Specialization System should be Extre Isolation, but what is the ability of the Enhancent System?" Li Zheng tilted his head, wondering when he had acquired an ability purely for strengthening his body.
His Spiritual Power delved inward, carefully counting, and indeed there was an additional pattern, resembling a strange human figure with exaggerated horns.
"Hmm, looks familiar." Li Zheng thought carefully and rembered.
Wasn’t this the long-unused Frenzied Power Demon Incarnation?
Due to its inconvenience in movent after transformation, he’d grown too lazy to use it.
After all, with his enhanced physique, the difference it made wasn’t significant.
In certain environnts, it even reduced his combat effectiveness.
Even in his "entering the Dao" state, this ability was of no value.
Thinking about it, it seed this Abyss Demon Race-derived ability had no future potential, so Li Zheng simply erased it, freeing up a Level base for installing other abilities.
"According to the terminal, the ability linked with the Middle Dantian is the ’Source’, now that the Source is established, has this new system beco fully ford?" Li Zheng asked Yan Jinjin, "Compared to your Immortal Cultivation Technique, is anything still missing?"
"To answer my lord," Yan Jinjin replied, "It’s only half-ford. The path to advancent in the way of Immortal Cultivation involves qualitative change, but this Genetic path seems to focus solely on refining Genetic Abilities. Perhaps the more complete the Genetic Base within, the more unified and pure the types of abilities, eventually mastering a path of Heavenly Dao."
"Heavenly Dao?" Li Zheng wasn’t quite sure about this concept: "For example?"
"For instance, gathering all branches of fire’s characteristics, rging the essence of fire in the universe within oneself," Yan Jinjin said, "by then, with a wave of your hand, you could annihilate worlds!"
Annihilate worlds with a wave of a hand?
Li Zheng thought sothing seed exaggerated about Yan Jinjin’s words.
Even with such power, his Genetic Force would not sustain it. With his current strength at Level sixty-four, he’d be lucky to use his Explosive Ability to blow up a small mountain.
Even this was Li Zheng being optimistic.
Seeing Li Zheng’s disbelief, Yan Jinjin asked, "My lord, how many complete Genetic Bases do you think you can accommodate within your body?"
Li Zheng estimated silently, "A hundred thousand?"
The genetic patterns distributed between cells weren’t much larger than the cells themselves.
"No," Yan Jinjin said, "at least a million!"
A million?
Li Zheng was stunned: "If my body could accommodate that many, why didn’t I fill it engravings after entering the Dao... wait!"
A thought flashed in his mind: "Though there’s space in the body, the limit for accommodating complete bases is determined by body strength. The stronger the body, the more it can accommodate?"
"Precisely!" Yan Jinjin nodded, saying, "As long as my lord finds a way to continuously increase body strength, one day you can fill your entire body with complete bases, leading to a potential qualitative change!"
"But one thing is certain, by that step, your strength would be world-ending, and the Genetic path would be more of an embellishnt."
This was akin to the Body Refining from Yan Jinjin’s world, which combined Body Refining and Qi Refining.
Body Refining involved infinitely enhancing body strength, facing Qi Cultivators’ Magical Treasures head-on, and attaining sanctity of the flesh to prove the Dao with power.
A Body Cultivator relied solely on the body in battle, unlike Qi Cultivators, who could use various Divine Techniques and Techniques or control Magical Treasures.
So initially, Body Cultivators were weak.
But the higher the realm, the stronger the Body Cultivators beca.
When everyone was in the Primordial Spirit Realm, a Body Cultivator could take down several Qi Cultivators, remaining unscathed afterward.
Yes, Body Cultivators also have a Primordial Spirit.
For in Yan Jinjin’s world, both Body Cultivators and Qi Cultivators ultimately refined the spirit, just using different thods.
The Genetic path Yan Jinjin and his peers developed combined features of Body Cultivators and Qi Cultivators, lacking a ans for spirit refinent, requiring synchronization with Li Zheng’s thod of condensing Spiritual Power Nodes for cultivation.
Li Zheng pondered for a mont, then said, "Help filter out all the patterns related to Ice and Fire, I want to try out the thod you said."
"Yes!"
Yan Jinjin bowed and turned, passing through the Spiritual Barrier to transcribe the related patterns from the central repository holding all the patterns.
Actually, there was a simpler thod, by using external asures to directly infuse patterns into Li Zheng’s body, avoiding the hassle of self-engraving.
However, with Li Zheng’s Formless Body providing "entering the Dao" assistance, engraving himself led directly to the optimal state, while external engraving required another "entering the Dao" for optimization.
