Lin Mu stood before the cylindrical chamber, his gaze unwavering as he
initiated the first true experint. Everything had been prepared with
ticulous care, every variable accounted for to the best of his ability. Now, all that remained was to observe.
He raised his hand slightly, and with a controlled motion, began the first step. The Nature Energy flowed.
It moved from the auxiliary container through the hollow vine conduits and entered the main chamber in a steady, gentle stream. The mont it filled the space, the effect was imdiate.
The lump of refined bloodline essence trembled, as if sothing within it had been awakened,
Its surface rippled, the soft, spongy structure shifting in irregular patterns as though sothing within it had co alive. It writhed, twisted, and pulsed faintly, responding to the influx of energy in a way that was both fascinating and unsettling.
Lin Mu's eyes sharpened.
He did not rely solely on observation.
The monitoring arrays activated, streams of information feeding directly into
his mind. He tracked the absorption rate, the internal changes, and the
interaction between the energy and the essence.
The result ca quickly.
"Two percent..." Lin Mu murmured.
The lump absorbed only a small fraction of the Nature Energy before stabilizing.
After that, it refused to take in any more.
No matter how he adjusted the flow, the result remained the sa.
"That is its saturation limit," Lin Mu concluded.
He noted it carefully.
Nature Energy alone could not push it further.
It was stabilizing, but not transformative.
Lin Mu did not hesitate and he moved to the next step.
The Beast Qi.
He shifted his focus to the second container and began releasing the energy into the main chamber. Unlike the Nature Energy, this was done with extre caution.
A single wisp entered.
Then another.
And another.
Each thread of Beast Qi was thin, controlled, and deliberate. Lin Mu did not allow even the slightest fluctuation as he observed how the system reacted. There was no reaction.
The Beast Qi drifted downward, remaining separate from the surrounding Nature Energy, pooling at the bottom like a foreign substance.
Lin Mu frowned slightly.
He continued.
Ten wisps.
Fifty.
A hundred.
The two energies remained distinct, unwilling to rge.
Lin Mu extended his immortal sense, attempting to guide the process. The arrays responded as well, adjusting the internal flow, agitating the energies to encourage interaction.
But the result remained unchanged.
"They are rejecting each other," Lin Mu thought.
He increased the amount.
Two hundred wisps.
Three hundred.
The outco did not change.
The Beast Qi remained stubborn, pooling at the bottom, completely separate
from the Nature Energy that surrounded the lump.
Lin Mu did not stop.
He adjusted the flow again, increasing the density, carefully maintaining
balance to avoid destabilization.
Four hundred wisps.
Five hundred.
Then...
At exactly five hundred and seventy one wisps...
Sothing changed.
The Beast Qi shifted.
It did not rge fully, but it began to interact.
Thin strands of it rose slightly, brushing against the surrounding Nature Energy,
creating faint ripples where the two t.
Lin Mu's eyes narrowed.
"That is the threshold," he said.
He had found the ratio.
But the problem remained.
The lump did not react.
It remained suspended, unchanged, as if completely indifferent to the
interaction occurring around it.
Lin Mu focused.
He guided the Beast Qi, attempting to bring it into contact with the lump.
The result was imdiate.
It bounced off.
Like water striking a solid surface.
Lin Mu's brows furrowed.
He tried again.
And again.
Each attempt yielded the sa result.
Rejection.
The Beast Qi would not enter.
Days passed.
Lin Mu continued experinting, adjusting the ratio, the flow, the thod of introduction. He increased the amount gradually, testing different approaches, refining his control with each attempt.
There were failures.
Many.
So attempts caused the lump to destabilize, its structure breaking down into
unusable fragnts. Others resulted in violent reactions, where the internal energy collapsed and exploded outward.
Each ti, the chamber held firm.
The arrays absorbed the impact, containing the damage entirely.
Lin Mu did not falter.
He recorded each failure.
Analyzed each result.
Adjusted his approach.
Fifteen lumps were used.
Fifteen complete failures. Then...
On the sixteenth attempt... Sothing changed.
The Beast Qi touched the lump.
This ti, it did not bounce away.
It sank in.
Just slightly.
Lin Mu's eyes sharpened instantly.
He maintained absolute control, slowing the flow to the bare minimum as he
observed the interaction. The Beast Qi was being absorbed.
Not completely or smoothly, but it was entering.
"That is it..." Lin Mu murmured.
He continued carefully, feeding the energy in controlled amounts, ensuring that
the balance between Nature Energy and Beast Qi remained stable.
The process was slow.
Painfully slow.
But it was working.
The lump began to change.
Subtly at first.
Its internal structure shifted, the energy within it responding to the new
influence. Lin Mu monitored every detail, his immortal sense capturing even
the smallest fluctuations.
Ti passed.
Days bled into weeks, which bled into months.
Lin Mu did not stop.
He maintained the process, refining his thod with each iteration, improving
his control, reducing waste, increasing efficiency.
Nearly a quarter of his stored Beast Qi was consud.
But he did not hesitate.
Finally...
The change ca.
The lump trembled.
Then twisted.
Its structure softened, reshaping itself as if it were clay being kneaded by
unseen hands. The color shifted as well, becoming lighter, less dense, as the internal composition transford.
Lin Mu watched without blinking.
Hours passed.
The process continued.
Only when the lump ceased absorbing energy did Lin Mu stop.
He exhaled slowly.
"It is complete."
Carefully, he extracted the lump from the chamber.
Now ca the true test.
He raised his hands.
Dark Demonic Qi gathered once more as he activated the Bloodline Unraveling
Demonic Art.
The tendrils extended.
Touched the lump.
And in an instant...
It burst apart.
The fragnts stabilized quickly, forming into distinct shapes.
Crystals.
Lin Mu's gaze locked onto them.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
