Then there’s nothing more to say.

“Just practice… I think even if I can’t reach the highest level of this technique in my lifetime, there are still seven layers. As long as I make some progress, I’ll have the foundation of a powerful figure. No matter what, it’s much better than my current snail’s pace of cultivation. People need to learn to be content.”

Ethan Brooks made up his mind, his heart settling down, and began to focus on the first layer of the Spirit Transformation Sutra.

“…Heaven divides yin and yang, earth has heaven and earth, purple energy soars to the sky, all things flourish…”

As Ethan Brooks pondered, nodding to himself, he couldn’t help but sigh.

“There really is no such thing as a shortcut to the top in this world. How could there be a method that lets you transform living beings as soon as you start… The first layer is just gathering spiritual energy. But thinking about it, that makes sense. You need to be strong yourself to forge iron. If you want to transform living beings, you naturally need a strong cultivation base. Without a solid foundation, how could you transform others? Foundation is always the hard truth. Everything before is just the process…”

“But this process of gathering spiritual energy is interesting. In the process of mastering the first layer, you’re constantly enlightening living beings. In this ongoing process, you maximize the gathering of spiritual intelligence from living creatures… In other words, does this mean you can make animals a bit smarter? A little bit smarter? Strengthen them step by step? Eventually, quantity turns into quality?”

Ethan Brooks suddenly had a wild idea: “If that’s the case… wouldn’t opening a pet shop be the perfect approach? Not only could I make money, but it’s also popular with women… It’d be really convenient for picking up girls…”

“Hiss… That’s a good idea, a really good idea… Hiding in the city, not attracting attention, living peacefully, improving day by day… The only worry is jealousy and rivalry… nothing else really…”

“The Spirit Transformation Sutra… Spirit Transformation… It turns out you have to reach the fifth layer, the Enlightenment Realm, before you can truly transform living beings and derive cultivation techniques; damn, at that point, it requires at least an Immortal Lord level cultivation? What’s an Immortal Lord? Just the name sounds lofty and out of reach… Damn it… are you messing with me?”

“The seventh layer of Spirit Transformation, hmm, the seventh layer allows you to transform a sentient being into a high-level cultivator… That’s intense. Isn’t this just like the rebirth and transformation into human form in those web novels from my previous life, or even directly transforming into an immortal? Damn… that’s pretty awesome, but why does it feel so unreliable…”

“I transmigrated into a fantasy world, not an immortal cultivation world, damn it… These realms don’t even exist in this world, damn it, looks like you really want to play me to death…”

But, as the only golden finger, how could I not practice it?

Still, as the saying goes, even if you know your life is a tragedy, you have to finish it on your knees, even with tears in your eyes!

What’s more, that phrase gave Ethan Brooks the greatest confidence.

When you reach the day of soaring to the heavens…

The day of soaring to the heavens!

The day of soaring to the heavens!

The responsibility on his shoulders is heavy.

He closed his eyes and began to circulate his spiritual energy according to the cultivation path of the first layer of the Spirit Transformation Sutra.

The spiritual energy moved as slowly as an old ox climbing a hill.

It was difficult, stumbling along, and it took a whole cup of tea’s time to barely complete one cycle. Ethan Brooks was so anxious he broke out in a sweat.

But starting from the second cycle…

Ethan Brooks was suddenly shocked!

[I want to grab the first comment for this chapter!]

Thanks to the great 九九九九九久月 for the silver—did you change your name?

Thanks to 无悔, 幽灵, and 花语, the three alliance leaders, and all the brothers and sisters for your support; I got up very early today, at six o’clock.

I’ll write more, even if I can’t post more, at least I can save up more.

Chapter 6: Mastering the Divine Technique

[As usual, asking for recommendation votes]

Ethan Brooks had never seen such an awesome cultivation technique!

The shock at this moment was simply beyond words.

As soon as the second cycle of the technique began, with a sudden crisp sound, it seemed as if a breeze swept through the world, and countless strands of spiritual energy drifting between heaven and earth surged in like rivers flowing into the sea!

In the blink of an eye, Ethan Brooks was enveloped by spiritual energy so dense it was almost tangible, which forced its way into Ethan Brooks’s meridians through every pore.

In an instant, Ethan Brooks felt his whole body swell up, and could clearly sense that his meridians couldn’t take it.

It was like a stomach that had been underfed for years suddenly being stuffed with a table full of rich food, force-fed like a duck.

The duck can’t eat anymore, but food keeps being stuffed in, and after it’s full, someone even uses a stick to push it in harder, and then keeps stuffing more.

This is a kind of happiness.

But this happiness was so overwhelming that Ethan Brooks could barely stand it, so he could only endure the pain with joy.

“I can take it!”

His narrow meridians were quickly filled with surging spiritual energy, swelling, expanding, and then bit by bit, more was forced in…

Following the path of the technique, the energy flowed and circulated…

Ethan Brooks felt as if his body was being torn apart.

He clenched his teeth, enduring the intense pain, his cheeks puffed out.

His eyes were almost bulging out.

But how could he not know that this was the most critical step!

This was an epoch-making, era-defining moment.
