Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“So that’s how it is. Now that I know all this, I think he’s quite pitiful. I’ve heard he’s the same as Peng Hai. They both were poor kids who came from the slums. You see. A destitute kid who was able to soar to great heights with a single step, like a fish becoming a dragon, who was looked by the Nine Elite Universities with favor, who looked to be destined to walk the road of cultivators and burst into the upper-class circle… Yet at the most critical point, he was beaten by an accident to his original state! If I were him, I would prefer to keep sleeping and never wake up. If I wake up and discover that I’ve fallen this far, I’ll absolutely commit suicide!”

“Who says that won’t happen. His Actualization Quotient fell to 7%. It’s impossible for him to cultivate… Even I have an Actualization Quotient of 21%!”

The two nurses laughed together.

Li Yao lay motionless on the bed. He listened silently, his eyes filled with doubt and ridicule.

“My Actualization Quotient fell to 7%!? What jokers! I feel that right now I’m great to the point of simply exploding!”

He looked around. There was actually a small balcony connected to this room.

Li Yao pulled off the tubes connected to his body and pushed open the glass cover. He quietly got off the bed and quietly tiptoed to the balcony, closing the door behind him.

Floating Spear City was like a sleeping beast that lay calmly within the darkness.

Occasionally, anti-gravity shuttles would streak through the night sky. Their thrusters created streaks of rainbows and were swallowed by the darkness in the blink of an eye.

The spirit root was the origin for every cultivator. It was closely bound with one’s five senses and thinking ability. Everyone would approximately fill out their own Actualization Quotient and figure out what level they were at.

“My five senses are much sharper than before. My mind has become clearer. I can even easily remember matters from the past. Even if I don’t feel a sprouting sensation on my forehead, my neural field has changed to be much more vast!”

“If my original neural field could be said to be the size of a small pond, my present mind is like a vast giant ocean that stretches as far as the eye can see. My spirit root is stronger than the past by over two-fold! My Actualization Quotient must have increased by at least 17~18 percent. How could it have fallen instead of rising? To the point of 7%?”

Li Yao laughed involuntarily.

A sudden drop in one’s Actualization Quotient would bring about an extremely intense reaction for sure! For example, their heads would hurt to the point of splitting, their thinking would become blurred, their memory faculties would decline, their five senses would drop, and they might even become a retard!

When compared to his crisp and clear mind of the present, in a state of boundless energy, it was completely different!

Li Yao’s first thought was that the hospital’s sensor machine made a bad measurement. But the probability of this happening is small.

Thinking about it, the greatest possibility was that he had used up too much of his mental energy when he was consuming Ou Yezi’s memories. This lead to his Actualization Quotient to drop temporarily.

But it was also because he swallowed Ou Yezi’s memories that he was able to break open his neural field. From today on, cultivation would absolutely be a flat ground where he could gallop straight across, covering a thousand miles in a single day.

Li Yao’s mouth hooked into a smile as he thought back to Ou Yezi’s memories.

His two legs split. A fist pounded forth randomly, and he actually heard three “Bang Bang Bang” explosions. Three air-tearing ripples had appeared on the tip of the fist in front of him.

“I actually succeeded in learning this Heart-Piercer Hammer move!”

“I don’t know how many days I lay in bed for. My body consumed enormous resources; I’m as thin as a skeleton! My body lacks strength!”

“I was able to strike out with three air-tearing ripples with a single punch even under this state. If I properly recover for several days and eat several hundred cans of the Giant Creatures of Starry Skies meat, my body will recover back to its peak state. It’s possible that I might even strike out with ten air-tearing ripples!”

As he looked at the morning star to the horizon, Li Yao’s heart was moving with great undulations. He simply wanted to howl loudly without a single care, to vent his heart’s feelings of pleasure as much as he wanted.
