Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

The feeling that Celestial Star gave Lin Shen was almost no different from that of the Human Mother Planet; gravity and the composition of the atmosphere were very similar, making him feel extremely comfortable here.

What puzzled him was that simply by standing here, doing nothing at all, not only was his Base Mutation rate increasing, but the Life Base within him also seemed to be stirring, as if showing signs of rebirth.

"Truly a mystical planet," Lin Shen opened the door to the balcony, outside there was a platform built of wood, and beyond the platform was a pavilion standing over the water.

Standing in the pavilion, his mind felt clearer, as if even his memory had strengthened, and his gaze revealed many minute details that normally escaped his attention.

"If I had practiced here from a young age, my accomplishments would probably be much stronger than they are now, and my mind would probably be sharper," Lin Shen had never understood as he did now why the environment is so important for learning.

The waterfall here was not as violent as the one in the Ascension Pool; because the mountain was terraced, the waterfall dropped three times, winding and turning before finally falling into the pond below, thus its force was somewhat mitigated.

The stream also became more meandering and gentle, losing some of its violent impact yet gaining an air of ethereal grace in the process.

Lin Shen saw that the mountain wall beside the waterfall was actually inscribed with some characters.

"Heaven does not gift me, nor do I take; time does not favor me, nor do I wait; people do not grant me, nor do I reciprocate. Gods do not bless me, I take by myself..."

Lin Shen was taken aback as he read. The beginning seemed to be written by a hermit who was indifferent to fame and desire, aloof from the worldly affairs.

It seemed to indicate that if you ignore me, then I will ignore you; if you don't give to me, then I don't want it.

But the tone changed later on; somehow it turned into if you don't give to me, then I will take it myself; if you hide it, then I will snatch it. The sentiment was completely different.

This made Lin Shen highly suspect that the first few sentences and the latter ones were written by two different people, otherwise, how could they be so inconsistent with each other.

Yet looking at the handwriting, it seemed consistent, as if it should come from the same person.

"This is the 'Song of Heaven and Celestial Beings' personally inscribed by the deities and the Heavenly Emperor of our Celestial Race. Legend has it that it contains the immense terror of the 'Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill.' If one could comprehend even a fraction, it would greatly benefit one's path of cultivation," a voice rang out behind Lin Shen.

Lin Shen turned to look and saw a Celestial male whose stature and appearance were not inferior to Tian Xin, but whose temperament far surpassed hers.

"What is the 'Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill'?" Lin Shen saw that the other party seemed to harbor no ill intent, and so he asked with a smile.

"The Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill is a skill created by the gods and the Heavenly Emperor, possessing unfathomable power. It is said to allow communication with the cosmos and spirits, to gain enlightenment from the universe, protection from deities, to unite body with heaven, and to receive wisdom in the heart from the divine.

Every movement embodies the ultimate principles of the universe; every action is as if deities descend to the world, it's a skill that aggregates the great terror of the world," Tian Buluo looked up at the 'Song of Heaven and Celestial Beings' inscribed on the stone wall, speaking with longing.

"Such a divine skill, how is it that I have never heard of it before?" Lin Shen was quite interested.

"The Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill is not exactly lost amongst our Celestial Race, but those who can truly grasp its essence are few and far between. Furthermore, one needs to practice the 'Heavenly Heart Skill' to master the 'Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill.' Nowadays, there are not many in our race who know this skill," Tian Buluo sighed.

"I see," Lin Shen felt a surge of disappointment, having thought to witness the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill, only to find that it was a proprietary skill of the Heavenly Heart Skill, which quickly dampened his interest.

"I am Tian from the Celestial Master Institute. May I ask who you are?" Lin Shen asked, looking at Tian Buluo.

"Tian Buluo, Seventeenth Son of the Heavenly Emperor," Tian Buluo replied with a smile.

"So it's Mr. Shiqi; my apologies for the oversight," Lin Shen said politely, yet without any substantive gesture.

Tian Buluo frowned slightly, but since he had come to Lin Shen with a request, it was naturally inappropriate for him to make a scene. He smiled and continued, "This Silent Residence is the very place where the gods and the Heavenly Emperor first realized the Dao. The Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill was created right here.

Living here now is tremendously beneficial for your understanding of the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill."

"Prince is jesting; I'm cultivating the Heavenly Heart Skill, not the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill," Lin Shen said.

"That's not necessarily true," Tian Buluo said with a smile. "Without the Heavenly Heart Skill as a foundation, it's true that one cannot cultivate the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill. However, the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill itself teaches how to sense cosmic rules, achieve Unity of Heaven and Man, and the subtleties of sensing the Cosmic Law.

Even without cultivating this method, one can sense its subtleties. This has a tremendous benefit for achieving Immortality and establishing Immortal Laws in the future. Tian, residing here is a tremendous opportunity, make sure not to miss it."

"Perhaps it is my mediocre talent, but I haven't felt anything special," Lin Shen said.

"That's because you don't understand the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill. Once you have some understanding of it, naturally you will feel the difference here," Tian Buluo said.

"How could I, someone like me, have access to such a secret art of the Celestial Race?" Lin Shen shook his head; where would he learn the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill?

"Haha, what's difficult about that? If you want to learn, I'll teach you," Tian Buluo said generously.

"Is that appropriate?" Lin Shen frowned and looked at Tian Buluo, feeling somewhat puzzled as to why this suddenly appeared Prince Tian Buluo was so attentive towards him, even wanting to teach him the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill.

"What's inappropriate about it? The Heavenly Heart Skill has long been obsolete, and without it, the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill is just a method for sensing the laws of heaven and earth; it has no practical value and is no longer considered a secret art," Tian Buluo said.

"Let's forget about it; I'd hate to commit a taboo and cause trouble for you, Prince," Lin Shen said, shaking his head.

He wasn't particularly interested in these profound mysteries; he preferred more practical skills.

Lin Shen had always felt that realm only mattered when one had comparable strength.

If your realm is high but your body can't keep up, what's the difference between that and having keen eyes but clumsy hands?

"No matter. No one has dared to give me trouble over a mere Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill; you just rest easy," Tian Buluo did not give Lin Shen a chance to speak and started reciting the incantation of the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill on his own.

Lin Shen frowned inwardly, but he couldn't very well cover Tian's mouth to stop him from speaking, so he had to stand aside and listen.

As Tian Buluo recited the incantation, he explained it to Lin Shen. His only intention was to get Lin Shen to memorize the incantation of the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill as quickly as possible, so he could start practicing.

Then, he himself could feel the Immortal Law's Residual Rhythm left by the gods and the Heavenly Emperor within the Silent Residence, and attempt to understand the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill to push it to a higher realm.

"Give it a try; you should be able to gain some insight," Tian Buluo suggested after going through it once, indicating Lin Shen could give it a shot.

"Could you repeat that? The incantation is too long, and you spoke too fast; I didn't catch it," Lin Shen said helplessly.

"You didn't remember it... impossible..." Tian Buluo looked at Lin Shen in astonishment.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Celestial Star itself has the effect of strengthening the body and enhancing Spiritual Sense, so even an average Celestial on this star could almost achieve a photographic memory.

Although Lin Shen was not a Celestial, he was, after all, the Head of the Celestial Masters' Institution selected by the Heavenly Emperor. It seemed unreasonable for him to be so deficient.
