Chapter 453: The Precious Human Body
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Yan Liqiang left the Great Moon Tribe, he traveled with lightning speed to the valley where he cultivated previously. He packed the belongings he had left in the cave — the Dragon Spine Steel Spear, the Horned Python Bow, and some clothing.
After Yan Liqiang was done packing, he left the valley with his belongings and continued his journey eastward for a few hundred li until he reached his second stop on Mount Jade Dragon.
‘A wily hare has three burrows,’ and likewise, Yan Liqiang had also taken note of another few potential places for cultivation on the day he arrived on Mount Jade Dragon. The second stop was on the east side of the mountain. It was very close to Pingxi Prefecture and a few li of mountainous road away from the mountain’s exit.
When Yan Liqiang reached the second stop, he could no longer suppress his excitement. He found a hidden cave and sat cross-legged in it. It only took a brief moment for his consciousness to enter the Heavenly Shrine where he found himself standing before the ‘toy capsule machine’ in there.
This was the third time Yan Liqiang had entered the Heavenly Shrine since he started cultivating in seclusion. He had obtained the Fiery-Eyed Golden Falcon and the silver falcon from the toy capsule machine during his previous visits. This time, he planned to use the toy capsule machine for something that he had never done before.
Although this was not the first time that Yan Liqiang used the toy capsule machine, he still felt nervous at the thought of creating something from the machine. His entire body was shuddering from the excitement of breaking taboos. According to legend, only God and Nuwa [1] had the power to create humans. To think that he would be able to follow his heart’s desire to create a human from the toy capsule machine made Yan Liqiang lightheaded.
Yan Liqiang stood in front of the ‘toy capsule machine’, rubbing his hands to relieve himself from the tension as he sized up the object.
At this moment, the toy capsule machine had already accumulated a four-digit total amount of usable spirit points — 1278. The figure was mostly contributed by the Shatu people on Mount Jade Dragon three months ago. Yan Liqiang was considered a real killing machine on the battlefield.
The usable vitality points and usable intelligence points had created a new record by breaking through one hundred thousand points.
To Yan Liqiang, the ‘toy capsule machine’ in front of him was like a sports car waiting for him to take the driver’s seat and make the engine rumble.
He had already planned his explanation: after cultivating in the wild for half a year, he met a few like-minded friends and brought them to Pingxi Prefecture. It would sound legit without any flaws!
…
Without further hesitation, Yan Liqiang operated the ‘toy capsule machine’ to select the human option for the very first time, followed by selecting the male option before pressing the activate button!
However, the seal of life for a human had no response at all…
He selected activate again…
There was still no response!
Could it be that the ‘toy capsule machine’ had broken down? Yan Liqiang tried a few times to activate the seal of life for a human, but the toy capsule machine remained unresponsive. This drove him mad!
“There is nothing wrong with the Heavenly Stone. The problem lies in the energy that you infused into it. It is still insufficient to activate the seal of life for a human!”
A familiar voice came from behind. Yan Liqiang quickly turned around to find Fu Guang standing behind him and looking at him calmly.
“This cannot be. When I previously summoned the Fiery-Eyed Golden Falcon and Silver Falcon, only a small portion of the energy that was infused into the Heavenly Stone was consumed! In fact, it took up less than one percent in total! How is it not sufficient to activate the seal of life for a human?” Yan Liqiang was baffled and was in disbelief. Ever since he obtained the Psychic Serpent, the energy that he infused into the Heavenly Stone for the past six months had been massive. He always emptied out his dantian before he used Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing to strengthen his body on a daily basis. The energy that he emptied from his dantian was all infused into the Heavenly Stone. After his progression from a Supreme Martial Warrior to Martial Grandmaster, the vital Qi and energy stored inside his dantian increased. This in turn increased the energy that was being infused into the Heavenly Stone. With that much energy, how could it still be insufficient?
“Different seals of life require different amounts of energy to activate. The higher ranking the life form, the more energy is required!”
“I understand that, but…”
“Hehe, you think you understand but you actually don’t!” Fu Guang shook his head and a cryptic smile appeared on his face.
“What does that mean?”
“Let me put it this way: there are over billions of seals of life in the Heavenly Stone. Within the vast universe and space, human is one of the very few high-ranking seals in existence. In order to activate the seal of life for humans, the energy required is beyond your imagination!”
“Ah, that’s impossible!” Yan Liqiang was so shocked to the point that he felt like laughing. If those words were not from Fu Guang, Yan Liqiang would have been convinced that someone was mocking him. “So you are saying that among the billions of seals of life in the Heavenly Stone, the human seal of life is at the top?”
“Yes. You are a human being and you are surrounded by human beings. You have seen so many human beings that you might not realize how precious your body is. Let me tell you one thing: the value of a person’s body is beyond imagination. To many beings that are beyond your imagination, the human body is the real treasure of the universe. In the distant past, this Heavenly Stone once made a deal with a powerful being who desired a human body and he paid an unbelievable price for it!”
“What price did he pay?”
“A rich planetary system about the size of the solar system that you lived in previously!”
Yan Liqiang’s mind instantly went blank before he burst into laughter, “Fu Guang, this is the first time I realized that you are humorous. That was a really good story; it even made me feel filthy rich!”
“I am not joking with you. The human body is valuable because it is among one of the very few species in the whole universe that can evolve and attain the highest realm of life. It is formed by the laws of the universe, including heaven and earth. A person is a universe, the wonders and value of which you cannot understand now. Some humans live for the money, some for love, and there are even some who live for wine, lust, wealth and all sorts of short term desires and pursuits. All that is significant in your eyes is not even significant in the eyes of many powerful beings. In their eyes, reaching the highest realm of life is what every lifeform should constantly pursue. You humans are just not aware that you have what countless creatures in the universe are envious of. A human body is a priceless treasure in the universe and yet, you are not aware of it!”
“What is the highest realm of life? Becoming God?”
Fu Guang laughed, “Due to your current life form energy, this question is beyond your understanding and imagination. It is also difficult for me to convey the answer to you through words!”
“Then make it simple!” Yan Liqiang pointed at the glowing human seal of life that he wanted to activate on the toy capsule machine. “How much more energy do I need in order to activate this seal? Would doubling it be sufficient?”
“You want me to tell you the truth?”
“Of course!’
“When you increase the energy infused into the Heavenly Stone by 1,738,500,000 times, this seal of life for a human will be activated.”
“What…?!” Yan Liqiang shrieked in shock and was completely dumbfounded. “1,728,500,000 times to activate it?”
“Yes. I know all this is very challenging for you, but this is the least amount of energy required to activate the human seal of life in the Heavenly Stone. You are surprised because you don’t understand the true value of the human body.”
