Chapter 529: Chapter 323 Butterfly
"Welcome back, Fang Su Sixth Zeng. Your genes have been reconfigured, your body has healed, and your current memory convergence progress is twenty-seven percent."
Chen Xuantian expressionlessly climbed out of the virtual cabin, swam out of the pool, and looked towards the remaining team members.
Besides him, out of the thirty people from Cangtian Team 6 who initially linked, eighteen survived.
Actually, this survival rate is not low, considering even Chen Xuantian himself died once and only revived by hacking a wardrobe save file.
Moreover, this time luck was indeed better, as the deceased didn’t encounter anything filthy leading to a mutation and rampage; they simply died in battle in a dream.
Yes, the Taiji Realm is at war, with rebel armies crossing south, internal conflicts in the Three Constellations, and demon invasions everywhere. Massive battles, countless deaths, rivers of blood, hundreds of thousands dead in Genzhou and Sizhou, so it makes sense that only half died here.
Thus, by scanning with his Divine Sense, checking each person for signs of mutation or replacement by Heavenly Demons or Non-Immortals, Chen Xuantian couldn’t be bothered to manage more and directly headed to the canteen for some food.
This time, after a nap, although Chen Xuantian still outwardly appeared as an average muscle-bound man who loved to play basketball, the inner workings had changed.
Now he is a member of the Divine Sect with at least thirty years of independent research experience in Primordial Spirit Methods, sharing Mystic Sect memory knowledge, battle experience, and Taoist Secret Records with Tie Dan.
To be honest, even if Chen Xuantian really fell out with them and became a Vice Sect Hierarch in this world, there’s not much anyone could do about it.
However, Chen Xuantian didn’t have such grand ambitions; essentially, he found researching the Great Dao more interesting than striving for power. If he had any worldly desires now, it might be a desire for Dual Cultivation.
Of course, this isn’t a problem with Chen Xuantian, or it might precisely show that Chen Xuantian has no problem.
Well, this actually has little to do with Tie Dan. Upon waking up, Chen Xuantian did the calculations and realized it was simply his own emotional tribulation.
As the saying goes: In the beginning of the year, spring vigor rises, all things grow, and hundreds of flowers bloom.
In short, nothing in this world can last forever. Every being and thing will have its spring to pass its hereditary code and genetic seed down to the next generation. No matter how much the Heavenly Dao suppresses or blocks, it cannot violate this objective law and natural truth.
And although Chen Xuantian spent decades in dreams, refining his Primordial Spirit to become more refined and powerful, and can genuinely wander the void and stir up trouble as the Blood God’s Son,
in the real world, his body is still just a mortal’s physique, only with stronger combat power.
Yes, Chen Xuantian remains human, although he can replicate Tie Dan’s body template to enhance it, breaking through the bottleneck at the Golden Core stage, but reaching Nascent Soul, he’s already at the brink. The evolution of his physical body has stalled, unable to surpass the strength Tie Dan achieved after the blizzard tempering.
After all, in this world, there is no True Qi, no Heavenly Thunder, and none of those Divinity Transformation Treasures to walk the Mystic Sect’s path, enduring tribulations one after another, using endless Heavenly Materials, Treasures, and Miracle Spiritual Elixirs to refine, enhance, and continue Divinity Transformation breakthroughs.
Ultimately, this power wasn’t something Chen Xuantian cultivated himself, akin to water without a source, a tree without roots, with no potential for further evolution.
Of course, following the Divine Sect’s path might work; although the reasons aren’t understood, if their methods can be practiced, perhaps it might really surpass the limitations imposed by the Heavenly Dao here.
But that would require Chen Xuantian to genuinely retrain in the Blood God’s son’s great method, first flaying, then blood draining, and finally evolving, refining his body into a blood-drenched monstrous form. The Cangtian Base would probably sound alarms long ago, a swarm of iron spiders rushing in for him, and ion bombs being hurled all over.
It’s still Duan Tie and Jia Ru who saw it clearly long ago, having their Primordial Spirit emerge, reincarnating, using the Blood Puppet Secret Refining to escape and enjoy freedom.
And Chen Xuantian can only be trapped in the base, Essence Qi surging, blood boiling, enduring the torment under the emotional tribulation of awakening...
After just getting a basin of food and holding the tray without sitting down, Xin Su came running over,
"Fang Su Sixth Zeng, there’s an urgent mission!"
Well, a missed meal won’t starve him, and it’s a chance to kill a few people and relieve stress.
Thus, Cangtian Team 6 set off in full force, urgently boarding the aircraft, beginning to change and prepare, while Xin Su quickly briefed them on the mission.
"The situation is quite serious this time; special forces from a neighboring country crossed the border and raided our military outpost, injuring our border patrol troops, with many severely wounded.
Due to the drastic drop in temperature in the combat zone, ice storms are occurring, and the extreme climatic conditions mean that rear troops and medical teams cannot provide support for now, with many severely injured trapped.
Your mission is to head to the frontline outpost and rescue the people,... Fang Su Sixth Zeng, what are you doing?"
The team members of Cangtian Team 6 also turned their heads to look, only to see Chen Xuantian pull out a foldable elbow knife, cut his own wrist to collect blood in a helmet, then use his finger to paint talismans on his body and armor with the blood.
"Don’t worry about it, I’m training, proceed with what you’re saying."
Xin Su continued as he kept an eye on Chen Xuantian,
"From the satellite view, it’s observed that the enemy has mobilized at least three special mountain battalions, currently hiding in the mountains, possibly planning to continue ambushing our rescue forces.
Clearly, the enemy intends to provoke disputes and create conflict, and if things escalate, it could lead to international tensions.
Therefore, the organization wishes for you to act, taking advantage of the enemy’s intelligence systems being focused on our border troops, make a quick entry and exit, swiftly rescue the besieged wounded and retreat."
