I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes - Chapter 157
Chapter 157: 141 Obtained Transcendent: Pseudo God! (Thanks to the graceful heart for the reward support)_1
At home.
Father Pei and Mother Pei sat together, carefully asking Pei Jinye after he finished drinking his water, “About last night’s incident…”
“I’m sorry to have worried you,” Pei Jinye held the cup in his hand and half-truthfully said, “Later on, thanks to Uncle Zhou, those who framed me have all been punished.”
He paused for a moment.
Pei Jinye looked at the elders and inquired, “The situation with the food street…”
Father Pei said in a low voice, “Xiao Sun called this morning; he’s been reinstated as captain. We will continue as agreed and stay at the food street… The Director Li from before has been arrested for embezzlement.”
Mother Pei, hesitating after Father Pei finished speaking, said, “Or else let’s just forget about it, I find all these matters rather chaotic, and who knows when we might be hit again.”
Just thinking about what happened yesterday gave Mother Pei palpitations.
Having lived ordinary lives for most of their existence, where had they ever seen such things?
Pei Jinye pondered for a while before saying, “How about this, Dad and Mom, you continue with the business on the food street, and I’ll take care of security.”
The three guys with glasses performed quite well last night, Pei Jinye didn’t mind giving them a hand, but their identities must definitely be protected well.
“By the way, Dad, isn’t there some vacant land in the food street area?”
“Yes, I was thinking about how to lease it out…” Father Pei nodded, “That place is a bit inside, so the merchants are reluctant to rent it.”
“Rent it to those from the slums,” Pei Jinye suggested.
Father Pei was startled, “I did think that, but they can’t afford the money.”
“We can lease it first and compensate later…” Pei Jinye smiled, not voicing his thoughts.
He planned to arrange for some of the people those guys with glasses wanted to protect to move to West Street.
In time, this place will naturally become a territory guarded by them.
The specific follow-up matters would be left to Father Pei to handle.
It was inconvenient for Pei Jinye to come forward.
Lying on the bed.
Pei Jinye brought out the attribute panel.
Last night’s incident with the Jiang family had provided him with two new Extraordinary Abilities.
Beast: Kui Ox.
Body·Blood Pattern.
Jiang Qingcang’s Extraordinary Ability corresponded to bringing his physical body to the state of the Kui Ox for a short period of time, but because he was old and had lived in comfort for years, the skills he had were already diminished.
So, when he confronted Pei Jinye last night, he wasn’t able to erupt with the surging Vitality of his youth—an example of the adage ‘fear the strength of the young.’
“Kui Ox…”
Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes.
One Blood Lotus from “Twelve Lotuses” could make his Vitality burst forth, reaching at least three times the usual state.
If he also used the Kui Ox form…
It was a pity he never got the chance to use it.
He was quite satisfied with this kind of Extraordinary Ability.
Another member of the Jiang family provided an Extraordinary Ability related to Blood energy.
As Pei Jinye’s deadly moves were almost all related to physical strength and Blood energy, after devouring the other’s Extraordinary Ability, his Blood energy was set to surge once again.
He anticipated the second Blood Lotus would soon be forming.
When it did, the power he could unleash would be even stronger!
By itself, he still had a triple strength enhancement!
Regarding the last encounter with Xu Tian from the night before.
That incident was not to be blamed on the Old Gods Association.
Pei Jinye was too cautious, and he didn’t escape along the retreat route planned by the Old Gods Association, instead running into Xu Tian and Wei Xianren by coincidence.
It was an unexpected surprise.
The attribute panel brightly displayed—
[(Fake) God·DayLight]
(Transcendent Ability: Light Slash)
(New skill: Body Technique (Beginner 50%), Close Combat Killing Technique (Beginner 50%), Firearms (Beginner 50%), Four Seasons Seal Autumn Chapter (Beginner 10%))
“Pseudo God?”
Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xu Tian’s Extraordinary Ability contained the word “God,” which inevitably surprised him.
This god doesn’t seem to be a spiritual god.
As for whether it’s one of those that cannot be spoken of,
Pei Jinye is just guessing.
He plans to verify this with more members of the Judgement Place in the future. It’s not a big deal.
What truly caught Jinye’s attention is the “Four Seasons Seal Autumn Chapter”.
If the Spring Chapter offers a comprehensive enhancement and nourishes the body,
then the Autumn Chapter obtained from Xu Tian focuses more on condensing killing intent. With profound practice, a mere glance could be lethal.
However, Jinye tried it, and the “Four Seasons Seal Autumn Chapter” could only be advanced to the beginner stage. It was somewhat difficult to make any further progress.
It seems to be even harder than practicing the Spring Chapter…
“The Spring Chapter is for nurturing, the Autumn Chapter is for offense. The two characters represent different systems, so it’s understandable that they are difficult to practice… but…”
Pei Jinye bowed his head and felt for a moment, “The progress in practicing the Autumn Chapter should be related to spiritual power…”
“So… I’m still too weak.”
Pei Jinye’s face showed his emotion.
He got out of bed.
Started to pack his luggage.
Determinedly went off to train.
As for Wei Xianren,
an Element·Freeze of a transcendental who had devoured, was somewhat disappointing.
Pei Jinye “swallowed” it without even a burp of satisfaction. He actually didn’t care much for such a pampered second-generation individual.
His first phase was to complete it thoroughly, obviously following a specialized route.
Otherwise, devouring some trash talents would just waste his precious evolution slot.
He extended his hand.
Flames in his left hand, frost in his right.
Pei Jinye shook his head.
“My evolution route is somewhat…”
His arms vibrated, veins popped, blood vessels swelled, and a ferocious aura immediately permeated the air.
“Somewhat ferocious.”
In the Kui Ox form, he felt a surge of power.
However, this transformation state consumed a significant amount of vitality.
Pei Jinye glanced at his attribute panel.
A consumption of 0.5 vitality value per minute.
With his current total vitality value of 18, he could maintain the transformation for a maximum of ten minutes; otherwise, the remaining vitality might not be enough for him to devour and retreat.
“Next, I must accelerate the progress of cultivating “Twelve Lotuses”!”
He took a light rail.
Around ten in the morning, Pei Jinye’s figure appeared inside Broken Cloud Mountain.
Since the great battle two nights ago, even fewer people have come here.
After closing the case, the people from the Night Patrol Department had already withdrawn yesterday.
So, Pei Jinye was happy to practice in peace.
Moreover…
Xu Tian is dead.
The annoying fly would finally no longer buzz around him.
“Bang!”
A palm struck down.
A deep palm print appeared on the half-person-tall rock.
Pei Jinye withdrew his hand.
With a thought,
The Blood Lotus condensed.
He took a step forward.
The ground sank about an inch.
Pei Jinye’s palm touched the rock, and in an instant, the rock crumbled as if it were made of paper.
He reached within.
The next moment, the Kui Bull was spurred into action.
Vitality flowed.
Blood energy condensed once more!
The Breaking Limit Technique “Quake” was activated.
The rock, half the height of a person, exploded on the spot.
White dust scattered in all directions.
Pei Jinye looked at his palm with satisfaction.
“Now, the strength of my Vitality burst is enough to shatter a ten-centimeter-thick steel plate,” he mused.
“If I had this strength when I went to kill Xu Tian… it would have been more than just an arm’s issue.”
He switched to a new piece of bluestone.
Pei Jinye’s hands moved like raindrops, continuously striking the stone with controlled force.
Controlling his strength was the step in his training that he needed the most at that moment.
He devoured too many Transcendents the night before.
With a higher amount of spiritual power, he could just manage to suppress the memories he had absorbed.
But the power was too mixed.
It had to be completely refined.
To return to the state where he could release and withdraw his strength at will, Pei Jinye needed to keep grinding.
With every punch thrown, a large amount of stone dust scattered.
Under controlled power, the large bluestone didn’t shatter like the previous rock, it merely shook…
Gradually, even the shaking stopped, maintaining an unmoved state.
Sweat began to seep from Pei Jinye’s body, and atop his head, a Blood Lotus faintly emerged, heat slowly rising in a steam.
As his Vitality circulated rapidly through his body, his strength focused on his palms. By repeatedly hammering, he honed his strength and at the same time, tempered his physical body.
An hour later,
Pei Jinye gradually slowed down and then stopped his training, exhaling a long breath of satisfaction.
Only constantly getting stronger could give one peace of mind.
Standing in place for just two seconds, the sweat on his body evaporated by itself, visibly forming a faint mist.
He then took out the Silver-White Small Sword.
After a minor test of its capability yesterday, he had to admit, the sword was quite sharp.
“Blood nurturing?” Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes.
Utilizing all the abilities he could, he checked the Silver-White Small Sword inside and out.
The Faceless Elder had no reason to harm him, given the other’s methods, if they truly wanted him killed, it wouldn’t have been dragged out until now.
Pei Jinye was very clear about his own value.
The other side simply wanted to tie him to the ship of the Old Gods Association.
As for the oracle… he was skeptical.
After all, such a rotten argument was hard to gain his recognition.
Although he had seen Transcendent beings, to truly speak of gods… up to this point, he had found nothing that suggested their existence, as if gods only lived in the mouths of those high and mighty, remaining unattainable to commoners.
Through blood nurturing, the Silver-White Small Sword gradually turned a glowing red.
When it could no longer absorb more, Pei Jinye withdrew his finger.
His Vitality Value dropped by 2 points.
His face darkened.
“What a wasteful thing…”
He put the sword away.
He glanced at the time.
Pei Jinye walked along a path to the stream.
Finding a large tree to lean against, he sat down and took out Spirit Meat Dry he had bought from the store to replenish his Vitality, with each bite costing hundreds of dollars.
As he rested and absorbed energy,
Pei Jinye’s secret phone gradually received a few messages.
Silver Art: [Demon King, I found it!]
Silver Art: [Quick, praise me!]
Silver Art: [Oh oh oh, I looked up the wrong person, it’s Xie Zuxin, not Jie Zuxin.]
Pei Jinye’s gaze was deep as he looked at his phone messages.
Just as he was about to put it away,
the phone vibrated again.
Silver Art sent another message: [Are you there?]
“Whoosh!”‘
The message was sent.
Pei Jinye: [Read.]
Silver Art:
Silver Art: [Why can a big man with a 37-degree mouth utter such two chilly words?]
Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow.
This was definitely not something Silver Art would say.
He was just about to hack into the network,
when he received another message.
[It was Hong Luo using my phone to chat with you just now, I’ll give you the results tonight.]
[Okay]… withdrawn… [Alright.]
The chat ended.
Pei Jinye put away the phone.
Looking up at the sky,
he calmly bit into the piece of meat dry in his hand.
“Buzz buzz.”
The phone vibrated.
“What’s the matter now?”
Pei Jinye took out the phone.
It wasn’t a message on his secret phone.
He switched to another commonly used phone from his bag.
Tang Huoyang: [Old Pei, do you have time for a meal today? I’m leaving.]
Pei Jinye made a call straight away.
On the other end, Tang Huoyang laughed heartily: “I thought you’d be too busy cultivating to see my message.”
“Just finished training and was resting,” Pei Jinye explained, puzzled: “You’re leaving? To where?”
“Leaving Da Peng City, my dad still has business in the Southern Continent, and this time it looks like we’ll try to make it there,” Tang Huoyang sighed: “No choice really, the Jiang family is gone, and home feels like the environment in Da Peng City is too rough, so they want to go to the Southern Continent, where the Judgement Place has control and everything’s more orderly.”
Pei Jinye’s gaze sharpened: “What about your Uncle Zhou?”
“Uncle Zhou hasn’t shown any signs of awakening yet, so the family is planning to take him along.”
“When are you leaving?”
“The four o’clock ride this afternoon.”
“Alright, I’ll see you off.”
Pei Jinye let out a sigh.
He didn’t have many friends in Da Peng.
First, it was Li Xiaoyin, and then after, the senior sister left for Dragon City to study.
Now, Tang Huoyang was the only one left, and he was leaving as well.
“This journey of life, the farther you go, the more solitude you seem to find,” he mused.
Pei Jinye shook his head,
gathered his pack,
and stood up to return.
A faint sound suddenly arose from the woods beside him.
Pei Jinye’s step paused.
