The Reversal of Heaven Begins with The Smiling, Proud Wanderer

The coachman's respectful voice came from outside.

Lin Mu was the first to stand up, lift the curtain and jump down from the carriage, then reached out his hand to Si Lili.

She hesitated for a moment, but still extended her hand and used it to get off the carriage.

What comes into view is a courtyard house with white walls and black tiles. Above the gate hangs a plaque with the two characters "Lin Mansion" written in vigorous strokes, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Although located in a bustling area, this place cleverly avoids the noise and appears tranquil and elegant.

This is the house that Lin Mu asked Wang Qinian to help him purchase the day before yesterday when he had some free time.

Although the other party received some kickbacks, they did a really good job.

Kyoto is unlike any other place; land is incredibly valuable. Such a residence not only requires enormous wealth but also a certain level of connections.

If Lin Mu hadn't found Wang Qinian and had handled it himself, it would probably have taken much longer to succeed.

Lin Mu is not short of money. The mountains of gold and weapons far beyond the reach of this era piled up in the system space are enough for him to easily stir up the world.

If he so desired, he could even quickly assemble a well-equipped army and sweep across the lands.

But after traversing and experiencing countless worlds, the emperor's throne had long lost its appeal to him.

Moreover, once those modern weapons appear on a large scale, they will inevitably attract the attention of the "Temple".

According to the plot he knew, although the temple was in decline, who could guarantee that it didn't have any trump cards up its sleeve?

Lin Mu naturally wouldn't do something so thankless and exhausting.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door, the courtyard scenery suddenly opens up.

A few stalks of green bamboo leaned against the pink wall, swaying in the wind and making a soft rustling sound.

The gravel path leads into a secluded spot, dotted with a few orchids in the corners. It is quiet and peaceful, truly a good place to rest and cultivate oneself.

Several servants were already waiting respectfully at the door, bowing and greeting, "Young Master."

Lin Mu nodded slightly and said to Si Lili, "These servants have all been selected by me, and their backgrounds are relatively clean. You can stay here for now and feel at ease. If you need anything or are missing anything, just tell them."

He is always thoughtful in his actions. Since he has decided to settle down temporarily, he will not do everything himself. He will enjoy himself when he can.

Si Lili's gaze swept over the obsequious servants, and she realized that Lin Mu's methods were far from ordinary.

She nodded gently: "Thank you for the arrangements, young master."

After settling Si Lili in, Lin Mu couldn't wait to head to the quiet practice room that had been specially set up on one side of the courtyard.

He had just obtained the S-level "Guiding Technique" from the system and was already eager to try it out.

The room was simply furnished with a table, a futon, and a censer of sandalwood incense, the delicate fragrance of which helped to calm the mind.

Lin Mu closed the heavy wooden door, and the room immediately fell into a silent isolation from the outside world.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, completely abandoning all distracting thoughts, and sank his mind into the depths of his consciousness. Following the method of the "Guiding Technique" that was already imprinted in his soul, he slowly assumed the profound "Five Hearts Facing the Sky" posture—both palms, the soles of his feet, and the crown of his head all facing the sky.

As soon as he took this pose, he immediately felt a wonderful resonance between the acupoints in his body and the outside world!

The world around him suddenly changed drastically in his perception.

It was no longer an empty void, but was instantly filled with a vast, boundless, and extremely pure strange energy.

They are formless and intangible, yet as vast as the starry sea, permeating every crevice of the universe.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that he could sense and draw upon when he cultivated the Sunflower Manual was nothing compared to the cosmic energy he was sensing now, like a trickle of water compared to a vast ocean. They were simply incomparable!

"So this is cosmic energy? Truly extraordinary!"

Lin Mu was secretly alarmed.

The terrifying nature of the S-level guiding technique was instantly revealed.

Without any deliberate guidance from him, his body seemed to spontaneously transform into a highly efficient and greedy energy vortex.

An unimaginably vast amount of cosmic energy began to surge wildly into his limbs and bones through the "Five Hearts" like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

This energy is not only extremely pure, but also possesses a natural domineering quality.

They flowed rapidly through his body along the specific and mysterious routes of the "Guiding Techniques," like a torrent bursting its banks, violently washing over his meridians, bones, internal organs, and even penetrating into every tiny cell.

Ordinary guiding techniques may only allow one to absorb cosmic energy for a few minutes.

The S-level guiding technique not only allows for absorption for up to an hour, but its efficiency is also vastly different, greatly improving energy conversion efficiency and optimizing energy distribution within the body.

Of course, an excessively large and powerful energy is also a double-edged sword for cultivators.

If one's physical body is not strong enough to withstand such a violent influx of energy, one will ultimately die from the explosion of their body.

Fortunately, Lin Mu's physique had already been honed to an extremely strong level, with his physical strength alone exceeding forty tons.

If this physique were placed in the world of Swallowed Star, it would be considered a high-level warrior. In addition, he possesses the cultivation level of a Grandmaster and many profound techniques. Even if he were to face a low-level War God, he would have the strength to fight, and might even win.

With a solid foundation, cultivation becomes twice as effective with half the effort.

Initially, cosmic energy gently seeped into Lin Mu's body like a trickle.

However, as the guiding technique was fully activated, the speed and scale of the energy influx suddenly increased, like a surging river flowing endlessly into the body.

"Uh--"

A shiver and tingling sensation originating from the deepest part of his bone marrow caused Lin Mu to involuntarily let out a suppressed groan.

The cosmic energy that floods into the body is quickly captured and absorbed by the mitochondria in the cells, and then transformed and released into a strange life energy.

This energy is rapidly absorbed by all parts of the cell, causing the entire cell to undergo a radical transformation!

The DNA blueprint is undergoing subtle and optimized adjustments under the influence of energy, and the cell begins to divide rapidly, splitting into two.

Time slipped away silently.

Lin Mu's bone density continued to increase, his cell volume shrank during optimization, his muscle fibers were rewoven to be more resilient, and his internal organs were enveloped in a layer of warm, radiant energy.

His body weight is constantly increasing, and the essence of his life is leaping to a higher level!

According to the setting of Swallowing the Stars, the human body has never consciously absorbed cosmic energy since birth and has always been in a state of "hunger".

Therefore, this first active absorption is often the most efficient and the most rapid improvement in strength!

Lin Mu could clearly feel that he was undergoing a complete transformation from the inside out!

·· ···Requesting flowers· ·······

The energy of the universe is inexhaustible. The amount he is absorbing at this moment is but a drop in the ocean compared to the vast universe, but for an individual, it is a complete transformation.

Through the transformation of mitochondria in his cells, the surging cosmic energy was transformed into a more refined and powerful genetic energy, which settled in his dantian and throughout his body.

At a certain moment during this period of deep cultivation, when the energy accumulated to a critical point—

"boom!"

Lin Mu felt a sudden jolt deep within his mind, as if his entire soul was trembling.

The next moment, his consciousness entered a mysterious and unpredictable place.

This place is boundless, surrounded by endless gray mist that slowly swirls around.

In the center of the mist, a dark golden sphere slowly rotates like a star, emitting wisps of mist with each rotation, causing the mysterious mist in this space to increase continuously.

"A sea of ​​spiritual consciousness! A dark golden sphere... This is the mark of a spiritualist!"

A surge of joy welled up in Lin Mu's heart: "I never expected that I actually possessed the talent of a mentalist!"

With a slight thought, he tried to mobilize that newly born power.

..... ... ....

"Om-!"

An invisible yet powerful spiritual energy suddenly spread out from him.

The air in the quiet room seemed to freeze.

Lin Mu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze bright and filled with barely suppressed joy.

He carefully observed the changes in his body.

His physical body was more than twice as strong as before, and the surging power was almost bursting out of his body.

The true energy (genetic energy) within the dantian surged and gushed forth, immensely powerful, easily breaking through the previous bottleneck barrier.

He has broken through the Grandmaster realm and officially entered the more profound Celestial Realm!

The newly awakened spiritual power has given Lin Mu even greater strength!

With a slight thought, he took out the Demon Blade Thousand Blades from the system space. As if drawn by an invisible force, it was suddenly unsheathed with a soft "clang"!

Hundreds of fragments shimmered with a cold, eerie blue light, hovering steadily in mid-air in front of him. Under his command, they moved, rotated, and combined with incredible speed and precision, without the slightest hesitation.

"With my current physical strength, I can roughly reach about 100 tons, which means I've stepped into the threshold of a beginner-level War God."

"It's almost at the level of an intermediate-level War God."

“Mental strength is usually stronger than physical strength. Luo Feng is two levels higher, while I am only one level higher, with only intermediate-level War God-level mental strength.”

Lin Mu secretly assessed that although he felt he had a talent for Luo Feng in this area, it was definitely outstanding.

He tried to envelop himself with his mental power, and the next moment, his body floated lightly off the futon and hovered steadily in mid-air in the quiet room.

After a slight stretch, all the joints in my body immediately crackled and popped like popping beans.

An unprecedented sense of power, as if a single punch could shatter mountains and a single thought could stir up the wind and clouds, filled my heart.

"happy!"

Lin Mu couldn't help but let out a low shout, his voice filled with exhilaration and confidence.

If we were to be cautious when facing the grandmasters of this realm, as the outcome was still uncertain.

Now that he has completed his initial evolution, possesses the physique of a war god, has entered the realm of celestial beings, and has awakened his spiritual power, he is absolutely confident that he can crush so-called grandmasters with ease!

A whole new level of power, a whole new realm—the gate to an even stronger path has been completely opened before Lin Mu!

Chapter 72: Opening a Bookstore

"Squeak-"

With a soft sound, Lin Mu pushed open the heavy wooden door of the quiet room.

The sunlight outside was just right, bright and clear, filling the courtyard with lush greenery and melodious birdsong, exuding a vibrant energy.

Si Lili had been waiting quietly on the stone bench in the courtyard since early morning. When she saw him come out, she quickly got up and went to greet him.

She wore a light purple dress today, which made her skin look like jade, but her eyes and brows showed a hint of concern that she couldn't hide.

She keenly sensed that Lin Mu's aura seemed even more profound and restrained than before his seclusion, unfathomable and unfathomable.

He simply stood there casually, yet he possessed an aura of profound composure, commanding respect and awe.

But when Lin Mu turned his gaze to her, his deep eyes were gentler than yesterday, even carrying a calming power that gave her a sense of peace.

"Young master, have you finished your cultivation? Did everything go smoothly?"

Si Lili asked softly, her beautiful eyes filled with sincere concern and a hint of barely suppressed curiosity.

Lin Mu smiled slightly, his smile revealing a calm and confident control over his power: "It went very smoothly. I have successfully broken through to '850'."

He paused slightly, his tone turning somewhat helpless, and explained, "It's just that the increase in power this time is quite large, and it will take some time to adapt."

Too much power isn't necessarily a good thing.

If not properly controlled, it could lead to tragedy.

A casual swing can generate tens of tons of force; how could an ordinary person withstand that?

……

A day later, Lin Mu was able to perfectly control the newly added power.

He took the time to teach Si Lili a modified version of the "Guiding Techniques".

This technique is especially suitable for her current physical development, helping her to enter the ranks of gene energy warriors and officially embark on the path of devouring cultivation.

Originally, Si Lili's cultivation level was around the seventh rank, which, if converted to the Devouring World, would be roughly between a beginner and intermediate warrior.

After receiving Lin Mu's "Guiding Techniques", she broke through to the level of a high-ranking warrior in just one day, and her strength was enough to rival that of an ordinary ninth-rank master.

Such astonishing progress left even Si Lili bewildered.
