'I see...'
Someone at Muscle Tempering Stage 5 with 50% technique mastery would be weaker than someone at Stage 3 with 100% mastery.
This is because the Stage 3 practitioner had perfectly optimized their muscular development while the Stage 5 had sloppy, incomplete enhancement.
'This is brilliant systematic design,' Shen Tianxu thought with genuine appreciation.
'Whoever created this cultivation framework understood biology at a deep level, even if they described it in mystical terms.'
But as he studied the Boundless Martial Body Art with his vast knowledge and Supreme Comprehension, he saw inefficiencies everywhere.
The technique was excellent. Masterwork quality. Yue Lianxing clearly possessed something rare.
But it had limitations born from the creator's knowledge constraints.
'The muscle fiber activation sequence is suboptimal. The acupoint locations are close to nerve clusters but not precisely aligned.'
'The energy circulation pattern misses opportunities for synergistic metabolic effects. The recovery protocols are good but could be 40% more efficient.'
An idea crystallized. Dangerous. Ambitious. Possibly insane...for others.
'What if I don't just use the Boundless Martial Body Art?'
'What if I create my own technique from scratch?'
'Using humanity's trillions of years of biological research combined with this world's cultivation principles?'
He'd already perfected the combat techniques, taking five basic forms and synthesizing seven superior versions.
But that was just application of existing knowledge.
This would be creating an entire cultivation methodology.
A complete system for transforming the human body from its baseline state through twelve progressive realms of enhancement until it became a perfect vessel for spiritual cultivation.
'Is it even possible?'
'Of course.'
[Supreme Comprehension System: Analysis Initiated]
[Target: Boundless Martial Body Art]
[Structure: 7 Realms, 70 Total Stages]
[Efficiency Rating: 73%]
[Detected Optimization Potential: Extreme]
[Recommendation: Construct superior technique using available data archives]
[Warning: Resulting complexity will exceed normal mortal comprehension]
[Estimated Result: Self-evolving technique that improves with user's understanding]
[Proceed with creation? Y/N]
Shen Tianxu's lips curved into his first genuine smile since regaining emotions.
This was one out of pure intellectual excitement.
'Yes. Let's create something perfect.'
He spent the next two hours in pure analytical flow.
His Supreme Comprehension pulled data from every relevant field his archives contained.
Cellular biology. Molecular chemistry. Biomechanics. Genetic engineering. Neuroscience.
Endocrinology. Immunology. Energy metabolism. Quantum biology.
Every medical advancement humanity had achieved across eons.
He studied the Boundless Martial Body Art's structure. Understood its principles completely. Identified exactly why each stage worked and where improvements could be made.
Then he began building something new from absolute first principles.
'If Boundless Martial Body Art has seven realms preparing for spiritual cultivation, mine will have twelve.'
'Matching the twelve systems integrated into my core. Each realm perfecting a different biological system. Each stage within that realm completing a specific optimization.'
'And it should be complete. Not requiring spiritual energy at all until the final transition. Purely physical enhancement that any mortal could theoretically practice—if they had the knowledge and comprehension to understand it.'
The technique took shape in his mind like an intricate blueprint:
{Primordial Genesis Body Cultivation}
Realm 1: Foundation Genesis (12 Stages): Complete muscular system optimization. All major muscle groups enhanced. Fiber type conversion. Contractile protein restructuring. Neural recruitment patterns perfected.
Realm 2: Skeletal Supremacy (12 Stages): Bone mineral density maximized. Trabecular architecture optimized. Periosteum enhancement. Cartilage regeneration. Joint stability perfected.
Realm 3: Visceral Transcendence (12 Stages): All organ systems optimized. Heart efficiency. Lung capacity. Liver processing. Kidney filtration. Digestive optimization. Enhanced smooth muscle tissue throughout.
Realm 4: Circulatory Perfection (12 Stages): Cardiovascular system enhanced. Blood vessel elasticity. Capillary density. Lymphatic optimization. Blood composition improvement.
Realm 5: Neural Supremacy (12 Stages): Nervous system enhancement. Neuron density. Synapse efficiency. Neurotransmitter optimization. Brain plasticity. Spinal pathway enhancement.
Realm 6: Cellular Dominion (12 Stages): Individual cell optimization. Mitochondrial enhancement. Membrane integrity. Cellular repair mechanisms. Autophagy optimization.
Realm 7: Genetic Awakening (12 Stages): Epigenetic modifications. Gene expression optimization. Telomere preservation. DNA repair enhancement. Bloodline activation.
Realm 8: Endocrine Mastery (12 Stages): Hormonal system optimization. Gland function enhancement. Hormone receptor sensitivity. Metabolic regulation perfection.
Realm 9: Immune Apotheosis (12 Stages): Immune system perfection. White blood cell enhancement. Antibody production. Inflammatory response control. Autoimmune prevention.
Realm 10: Sensory Transcendence (12 Stages): All sensory systems enhanced beyond limits. Vision. Hearing. Smell. Taste. Touch. Proprioception. Balance.
Realm 11: Marrow Sanctification (12 Stages): Bone marrow optimization. Hematopoiesis perfection. Stem cell enhancement. Blood production control. Foundation for spiritual energy production.
Realm 12: Spiritual Convergence (12 Stages): Final preparation. Body becomes perfect vessel. All systems integrated. Energy pathways established. Ready for spiritual cultivation. Transition to Qi Refinement Realm.
One hundred forty-four total stages. Twelve complete biological systems perfected. Each building on the previous. Each necessary for the next.
'The complexity is extreme,' he acknowledged.
'This requires understanding of advanced molecular biology, precise energy control, perfect timing, and flawless execution.'
'The cultivation method involves 144 primary acupoints and 432 secondary points. The energy circulation patterns are three-dimensional helixes with multiple simultaneous flows.'
'No normal person could follow this. Even talented cultivators would fail at Stage 1.'
'They'd need Supreme Comprehension just to understand the instructions. They'd need my complete data archives to grasp why each step matters. They'd need AI-level processing to manage the complexity.'
Perfect.
That meant it was his alone. At least until he chose to simplify it for others when he wants to build his own force.
But there was something else he needed to address first.
Something he'd been postponing until he had some time alone.
The curse.
He focused inward, examining his own bloodline with Supreme Comprehension active.
[Analyzing Elf Bloodline Curse...]
[Curse Structure: Identified]
[Classification: Bloodline Seal - Supreme Grade]
[Effect: Prevents spiritual energy absorption, blocks cultivation above Marrow Cleansing]
[Mechanism: Genetic lock at cellular level, affects stem cells in bone marrow]
[Complete Analysis: Processing...]
Information flooded his consciousness. The curse wasn't a simple external binding. It was woven into the Elf race's genetic code itself.
A modification at the DNA level that prevented certain genes from expressing.
Specifically, the genes that would allow cells to absorb and process spiritual energy.
Whoever created this curse understood genetics at a profound level.
They'd essentially edited the Elf bloodline, removing the capability for spiritual cultivation while leaving everything else intact.
'Elegant and vicious,' Shen Tianxu thought. 'They didn't destroy the Elves' power. They sealed it. Big difference.'
