Chapter 482: I Am Chen Jin
“The primordial particles can even be used for cultivation? Although it can only be used to train the body, this is a wonderful thing when we an in an era of weakening celestial particles. It is just like rain arriving during a drought. Thank you very much, grandfather,” Chen Junfeng knelt on the ground and respectfully kneeled to Chen Jin.
Chen Jin saw this scene and could not help but claw his head. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The grandson of his was good in all aspects, except for the fact that he was heavily influenced by rubbish concepts of feudalism. When Chen Jin was with his grandfather, he was frequently impolite and impudent. He had nearly plucked out all the hair in his grandfather’s beard. Recalling how he had plucked the beard of his grandfather when he was a child, Chen Jin unconsciously touched his chin. Forget it, he couldn’t blame Junfeng for this when he didn’t have a beard in the first place; there was nothing for him to pull. And even if Chen Jin asked Junfeng to pull his beard, he would not dare to do it anyway.
“Jun Feng, not only can this method be used to train one’s body, but it can also nourish one’s cultivation when the body has been trained to a certain extent. Although one’s cultivation will always be weaker than one’s body, it will slowly increase.” As Chen Jin spoke, he pointed a finger at Chen Junfeng’s forehead. The ability to transfer information via the soul was nothing to Chen Jin since he was at the Mahayana phase; it was merely the transfer of a practice method.
Chen Junfeng, who received the method, sat cross-legged on the ground. He scanned through the exercises briefly and felt so excited that he could not wait to practice.
Chen Jin took in his grandson’s expression and calmly said, “Don’t be too excited. Make a copy of this method, select some of our core family members to receive a copy of this practice method. But remember that you can’t leak the exercises. Otherwise, you will be severely punished according to family law. Do you hear me?” Chen Jin’s tone was very flat and dull, but his att.i.tude was unquestionable. Chen Junfeng was so scared that he repeatedly promised not to disclose this secret.
Looking at Chen Junfeng’s behavior, Chen Jin was satisfied. He nodded slightly. This grandson had always been reliable so nothing should go wrong with this.
“I’ll probably be training here for a long time. You can ask me directly if you have any questions about cultivation. I’ve put you to the task of managing the family recently, it must have been hard on you. Also, you have to continue the research and development of the plan, Body of a Sage. There are still many areas of the human body that can be developed. Strive to create a body that has even better, more perfect apt.i.tudes.” Besides the little five-element const.i.tution that he had, Chen Jin also thought about the existence of many other varieties of const.i.tutions that were even more powerful. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt an itch in his heart. If he gained a more powerful const.i.tution, then wouldn’t he cultivate at a much more rapid pace? Once he got to a higher level, perhaps the remaining Sages of the Protoss would no longer be a threat.
Because the body of his doppelganger was still not mature (author’s note – the time needed for the doppelganger to mature was written incorrectly yesterday. It was written as a month, but please take it as a year. It’s not an important detail, no harm done). Hence Chen Jin handed over the family affairs to the AIs to manage for the coming days. After all, since their development to the present day, whether it was the company or the family, everything was running very smoothly. Usually, there were no big issues. If there were some minor problems, it could be handed over to the AIs who could solve such minor problems very well.
Chen Junfeng could be said to be temporarily liberated from his tasks. Chen Jin took Chen Junfeng with him to board a s.p.a.cecraft. They arrived at the pa.s.sageway leading to the Heavenly Realm and saw that the primordial particles had transformed the entire Heavenly Realm into part of the primal chaos, even the pa.s.sageway had become congested. Chen Jin saw this and alighted from the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. He floated in the area just above the primordial particles. Chen Junfeng saw this and was so scared that he nearly lost his soul. He was about to remind his grandfather to wear a s.p.a.cesuit before going out when Chen Jin had already stepped out of the s.p.a.cecraft. Chen Junfeng closed his eyes and dare not look any more. After a while, he heard Chen Jin’s voice, “Junfeng, why haven’t you alighted? Are you not done with putting on the s.p.a.cesuit?”
“Grandpa, you are not dead,” Chen Junfeng opened his eyes and saw Chen Jin sitting cross-legged as he floated above the primordial particles, looking at him with a gloomy expression.
In his heart, Chen Jin felt depressed when he heard that. What did he mean by “not dead”? He thought I was only born a little earlier than you. How could I die so soon?” Cough, cough. “I forgot to tell you, my cultivation has reached the Sage phase. I can freely walk in s.p.a.ce now.”
Chen Junfeng finally let go of his worries. He put on the s.p.a.cesuit and slowly came to Chen Jin’s side. Due to the advancement of science and technology, as human beings entered the era of interstellar colonization, the design of s.p.a.cesuits had improved. Besides the fact that the s.p.a.cesuit covered all of one’s skin, it was almost like a set of tight-fitting clothes in all other aspects. It did not look c.u.mbersome.
Chen Jin saw that Chen Junfeng had arrived at his side and dropped his concern. He quietly started working on the practice method. Traces of primordial particles broke away from the ocean of the chaos and entered his body. The primordial particles were quite powerful. They could decompose everything that they touched into the primal chaos so the particles could not be absorbed in large quant.i.ties. If too much was absorbed, Chen Jin’s body would be crushed and decomposed into particles in an instant. But a small amount was fine. Just like how water could extinguish a fire, but using a cup of water to put out flames from a burning cart of firewood was utterly useless.
With the entry of primordial particles into his body, the cultivation inside Chen Jin’s body was slowly corrupted by the particles. The boundaries of his cultivation seemed to have shrunk a little, but his physical body had become a little stronger. A relative balance was maintained between each plus and minus. His strength neither regressed nor progressed. It seemed that the two types of forces could not co-exist in the body. If he cultivated using this type of practice method, the immortal energy and cultivation would slowly disappear. Although he would not see the benefits for a while, as time went on, the cultivation of the physical body would increase. Chen Jin did not want to get his knickers into a twist over these things, and instead slowly cultivated his body.
There was no concept of time when it came to cultivation and training. A year had pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Chen Jin was sitting cross-legged when a ripple suddenly went through his body without any warning signs. The first layer of the body was a great accomplishment. By this time, Chen Jin’s body could not be pierced by ordinary bullets. However, his original cultivation had become faintly unstable. He estimated that his cultivation level would fall to the level of the “pinnacle of merging” by the time he trained his body to attain the second layer of achievement. Although his cultivation had been somewhat reduced, a special power had appeared in his body which was different from magic power and immortal energy. This should be the power of the primal chaos that had been nourished by the body as mentioned in the book. The performance of the new type of training was very weak, it was similar to the lowest level of cultivation–the phase of practicing Qi or spiritual energy. There was a long way to go if he wanted to replace the old immortal cultivation with this new type of cultivation.
Chen Jin opened his eyes and looked at Chen Junfeng, “Continue to train here, I’m going back, I’ll return in a short while. I’ll be leaving the s.p.a.cecraft for you.”
When Chen Jin finished speaking, he flew back towards earth. With his cultivation at the Mahayana level, he flew extremely fast and quickly returned to earth. He went back to the family fortress and without alerting anyone, Chen Jin arrived at the Base of Operations in Haierfa through the portal. The base of the Great Planet of the French planet (Chen Jin had left one end of the portal in Haierfa and the fortress, the other end of the portal was in his palm-sized transmission device).
“Alice, is my body ready?” Chen Jin smiled at Alice.
“Yes, Master, I will take you to it.”
Soon, Chen Jin arrived at the nursery room. Alice, who had manifested herself was trailing behind him.
Chen Jin saw the nursery in front of him, and in the nursery laid a quiet, naked body that looked the same as Chen Jin. Both of its eyes were closed and it looked very serene. Chen Jin’s face was flushed in embarra.s.sment when he saw this scene. Although he had not used this body yet, he felt rather embarra.s.sed that it had been seen by Alice every day. Chen Jin shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He put his palm on the forehead of the doppelganger and started running through his practice method at the same time. It didn’t take long before a thread of consciousness pa.s.sed through the palm of his hand into the body.
In a split second, the doppelganger opened its eyes, which brightened. It looked into Chen Jin’s eyes and said, “h.e.l.lo, I am Chen Jin.”
