    Chapter 353

    Su Hao had already formed a rough understanding of this world's cultivation system.

    It seemed that the entire cultivation path had become trapped at an almost impossible bottleneck.

    As for the exact cause, he couldn't determine it yet.

    It was probably another classic "chicken or egg" paradox.

    According to the records he had read, this obstacle had plagued the cultivation world for nearly a thousand years.

    Countless cultivators had devoted their entire lives to overcoming it.

    Generation after generation exhausted their wisdom attempting to solve it...

    Yet none succeeded.

    Su Hao softly murmured,

    "A stone from another mountain may be used to polish jade."

    Previously, he believed the greatest limitation was the era.

    Now he realized—

    It could also be the limitation of an entire world.

    In his opinion, if this world failed to produce fundamentally new ideas...

    Then no matter how many generations repeated the same cultivation methods...

    True progress would remain impossible.

    "Perhaps my arrival can change this..."

    "Even if I can't completely solve the problem, I may at least be able to introduce a new way of thinking."

    Suppressing these wandering thoughts, Su Hao focused on his current objectives.

    "Now that I roughly understand the underlying principles..."

    "My future learning plan is much clearer."

    Opening a blank page in his notebook, he wrote:

    1. Complete the Qi Induction Realm, advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm, personally experience the breakthrough, and understand its underlying mechanism.


    2. Learn the various Arts, mastering the fundamental methods of using Spiritual Power.


    3. Attempt to activate Rune Arrays using Spiritual Power and determine whether it is feasible. If successful, higher-grade Spiritual Power may elevate the power of Rune Arrays to an entirely new level.


    4. Learn this world's principles of alchemy and artifact refinement, mastering their core technologies.


    5. Use genetic engineering to cultivate plants capable of naturally producing the protein-like substance required for cultivation, thereby generating massive amounts of Spiritual Power—or perhaps directly producing Spiritual Power itself.



    ...

    Su Hao continued writing, recording future plans one after another.

    Plans could always be revised later.

    There was no need to decide everything immediately.

    After some time, Su Hao withdrew from the Marble Space.

    Only then did he remember something he had nearly forgotten.

    "Almost forgot about Yashan."

    "Time to send him the second batch of genetic modification serum."

    ...

    After preparing the serum, Su Hao once again transmitted it through the small teleportation Rune Array.

    Then he returned to his room and continued converting Spiritual Power.

    At first glance, countless specks of Spiritual Power seemed to fill every part of his body.

    However...

    Once he gathered them together...

    The total amount was pitifully small.

    So little that, without careful observation, it would be easy to overlook.

    Su Hao frowned.

    "What can such a tiny amount of Spiritual Power even accomplish?"

    "No wonder cultivators spend all day cultivating."

    "The conversion speed is simply too slow."

    "In that case, it's understandable why medicinal pills are so highly valued."

    After cultivating continuously for two days, Su Hao finally stopped.

    He muttered helplessly,

    "This is unbearably slow..."

    "Even someone as patient as I am finds this difficult to tolerate."

    He truly felt the speed was unbearably slow.

    At this rate...

    Accumulating enough Spiritual Power to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm would require meditating every day for at least three years.

    By then...

    He would already be sixteen years old.

    Standing up and stretching, Su Hao rapidly analyzed the problem.

    "To increase Spiritual Power production, there are only two variables."

    "Either strengthen the Spiritual Energy Wave..."

    "Or increase the amount of protein-like substance."

    "Inside the sect, Spiritual Energy is already abundant."

    "Therefore, my current bottleneck lies entirely in the insufficient amount of protein-like substance produced by my body."

    "Once today's supply is exhausted, I must wait until tomorrow for more to be synthesized."

    "Ordinary cultivators solve this by relying on medicinal pills."

    "Since I currently don't have any..."

    "I'll solve the problem at its source."

    With that thought, Su Hao entered the Marble Space and began redesigning his own genes.

    His objective was simple.

    Turn himself into a biological factory capable of continuously producing the protein-like substance required for cultivation.

    "It doesn't have to be excessive."

    "Producing fifty to a hundred times more than now should be sufficient."

    He quickly did the calculations.

    At the current rate, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm required roughly eleven hundred days.

    If production increased fiftyfold...

    It would take only about twenty-two days.

    Even accounting for studying, experimentation, and other interruptions...

    It wouldn't exceed two months.

    "Now that's an acceptable cultivation speed."

    "Spending years sitting in meditation is simply wasting time."

    "Wouldn't learning new things be far more meaningful?"

    Within a single day, Su Hao completed the new genetic design and produced the corresponding genetic modification serum.

    Without hesitation, he injected himself.

    "Whether this saves time depends entirely on the effectiveness of this modification."

    The following day...

    The concentration of the protein-like substance inside Su Hao's body had increased severalfold.

    Immediately entering cultivation, he began converting Spiritual Power once again.

    An hour later...

    He slowly opened his eyes.

    A satisfied smile appeared.

    "Yes..."

    "This is how cultivation should feel."

    "Excellent."

    In Su Hao's eyes...

    Who would willingly cultivate for decades or centuries?

    That wasn't cultivation.

    That was self-inflicted torture.

    Slow cultivation itself seemed fundamentally abnormal.

    In every universe...

    Everything constantly moved and evolved at tremendous speed.

    Slowness simply meant falling behind.

    It was merely disguised as stability.

    Soon, however, Su Hao shook his head again.

    "Although the current speed is already much faster..."

    "It still falls short of my expectations."

    "The protein-like substance is no longer the limiting factor."

    "Now..."

    "The bottleneck has become the intensity of the surrounding Spiritual Energy Wave."

    "There's no point rushing Spiritual Power conversion under such inefficient conditions."

    "First, I'll design a Rune Array capable of generating Spiritual Energy Waves."

    "Once I increase the Spiritual Energy density inside my room..."

    "My cultivation efficiency should improve significantly."

    Sharpening the axe before chopping wood.

    In Su Hao's opinion, cultivating Spiritual Power under the current conditions was simply inefficient.

    Improving efficiency came first.

    Only then was cultivation worthwhile.

    Entering the Marble Space, Su Hao waved his hand.

    Before him appeared his familiar Rune Array research platform.

    Nearly a thousand basic runes floated neatly in the air, arranged into nine major series and ten hierarchical levels.

    Years of Rune research had given Su Hao a profound understanding of these basic symbols.

    To him...

    They resembled another language describing the fundamental laws of the universe.

    Whenever he wished to express a particular concept...

    He only needed to assemble the appropriate runes.

    With another wave of his hand...

    A Four-Ring Rune Array materialized.

    Each ring contained numerous rune sockets, all identical, allowing basic runes to be freely inserted and rearranged.

    "First..."

    "I'll design a Rune Array capable of detecting force fields."

    "The detector I designed in the previous world proved ineffective here."

    "I'll need an entirely new design."

    After thinking briefly, Su Hao began issuing commands.

    “Little Light.

    Insert Rune 3-1 into Slot Z-4.

    Insert Rune 4-2 into Slot X-2.

    Insert Rune 8-1 into Slot P-22…”

    Following his instructions...

    The previously empty Four-Ring Rune Array gradually filled.

    "Begin simulation."

    Little Light immediately constructed a simulated operating environment.

    Moments later...

    Failure.

    The detection Rune Array shattered under chaotic forces.

    Frowning slightly, Su Hao replayed the entire simulation, carefully analyzed the failure, adjusted the design...

    And tried again.

    ...

    Two days later...

    He finally succeeded.

    "Fortunately, my previous experience designing force-field detection Rune Arrays saved considerable time."

    "Otherwise, this single project alone would've required at least two months of repeated experimentation."

    "Next..."

    "Activate the Rune Array..."

    "Detect the Spiritual Energy Wave..."

    "Collect data on the Spiritual Energy field."

    ...

    Several days later, it was once again time for Feng Ling's lesson.

    The three of them gathered at their usual mountaintop.

    As always...

    Feng Cheng had already prepared the stools.

    The only difference today...

    Was a small tea table placed between them.

    A complete tea set rested neatly upon it.

    Feng Ling looked at Feng Cheng with slight surprise.

    "Instead of cultivating properly, you've been spending your time on things like this?"

    Although she said so...

    Her actions told another story.

    She picked up a teacup, took a sip, then nodded approvingly.

    "The tea isn't bad."

    Feng Cheng smiled brightly.

    "A comfortable teaching environment is only proper, Master."

    "How could I allow Master to lecture for half the day without even a cup of warm tea?"

    Turning toward Su Hao, he respectfully gestured.

    "Senior Brother, please have a seat."

    "It must have been tiring jumping all the way up here."

    Seeing this...

    Feng Ling couldn't help reflecting inwardly.

    "Was I too strict with my own Master back then?"

    "This is how disciples are supposed to behave..."

    Then she glanced at Su Hao.

    "As for Feng Wei..."

    "He's too exceptional."

    "He doesn't count."

    After lightly clearing her throat, Feng Ling asked,

    "If either of you has encountered any difficulties in cultivation these past few days, ask freely."

    Su Hao immediately spoke.

    "Master..."

    "If I convert Spiritual Power too quickly..."

    "Will there be any side effects?"

    Feng Ling nearly spat out the mouthful of tea she had just taken.

    "Is that even a question a normal person would ask?"
