Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

The second book Lin Shen took down was not about a skill but a book about the Ice Lotus.

"Ice Lotus: The base of Ice Nightmare Star, an Immortal Creature of Immortal King level..." Lin Shen read the introduction and was greatly shocked.

"So that thing is actually of the Immortal King level. No wonder it's so powerful." Lin Shen continued to flip through the book.

Next, there was an image of the Ice Lotus, with each part of the plant labeled: lotus leaves, lotus flower, lotus root, etc.

Each part also had a detailed description. Upon reading the section about the flower's pistil, Lin Shen suddenly put down the book and ran outside to retch, but despite his lengthy effort, he vomited nothing.

He remembered after reading the description in the book that he had studied this before but had forgotten due to his poor memory.

The pistil is the organ used by flowers for reproduction.

Lin Shen, who just a moment earlier thought the nectar was sweet, now felt nauseous.

Fortunately, this was just a psychological reaction. In fact, according to the book, the nectar secreted by the Ice Lotus could even enhance the Base Mutation Rate of an Immortal, making it a precious treasure.

Lin Shen glanced at his watch and noticed that his Base Mutation Rate had indeed increased to five percent. The effect of the nectar was quite apparent.

Taking the book in hand, he continued reading. Surprisingly, the Ice Lotus didn't practice the Ice Law; rather, that should only be considered a small part of the Ice Lotus Law.

The Immortal Law of the Ice Lotus is Stasis, and there are many Branch Laws under it, including Absolute Zero.

"Damn it, it was the Ice Lotus that knocked me down," Lin Shen muttered gloomily, realizing it was all orchestrated by the Ice Lotus.

After a detailed introduction of the Ice Lotus, the discussion turned to how to utilize the Ice Lotus to comprehend its Law Power.

If one could truly understand the Stasis Law, then merely by killing the Ice Lotus, one could become an Immortal King of the Stasis Series.

The author of the book left a note saying she had originally intended to use the Ice Lotus to become immortal but over time, grew attached and couldn't bear to kill it, so she eventually did not use this method to become an Immortal.

If anyone wishes to use the Ice Lotus to become immortal and attain the true Immortal Laws, then hopefully they would allow the Ice Lotus to bear seeds before killing it.

"These things bloom every billion years, bear fruit every billion years, and the fruit takes another billion years to mature; it's just blooming now, and the seeds won't mature for another two billion years. Who can wait that long?" Lin Shen finally understood why Tian Jiuyou had brought him here.

Tian Jiuyou must have wanted Lin Shen to see the Ice Lotus and this book to let him know that Tian Jiuyou could help him become a true Immortal.

Although Lin Shen now knew of this path, his own strength was insufficient to kill the Ice Lotus, and without Tian Jiuyou's help, he couldn't proceed on this path.

Even if Tian Jiuyou were to send him away, it would be harder than finding a needle in a haystack for him to locate Ice Nightmare Star in the vast cosmos.

"Tian Jiuyou, Tian Jiuyou, you're really dangling a big carrot in front of me," Lin Shen knew very well that Tian Jiuyou was enticing him.

The Ice Lotus was raised by Tian Jiuyou and his wife and also carried his memories of his late wife; how could he easily allow it to be used for someone else's ascension to Immortality?

"How can I get out of here?" Lin Shen felt that he must hurry to leave this place.

However, with the Ice Lotus guarding the area, it was too difficult for him to break out.

He had previously experienced the Ice Lotus's freezing abilities. Although Evolution Theory allowed him not to fear the cold, it couldn't prevent his body from being encased in ice.

"It seems that I can only first comprehend the Ice Lotus's Law Power to see if I can find a flaw and figure out a way to escape." Lin Shen reviewed the information on the Ice Lotus once again, preparing to use the method of Tear Stain to comprehend the Ice Lotus's Law.

Lin Shen's disappearance had already alarmed the upper echelons of the Celestial Race. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire

Tian Xun personally came to Sky Pinnacle Star, trying to find traces of Lin Shen's disappearance, but he found nothing.

"Your Majesty, I have thoroughly checked, and there are no clues." An 6 was also anxious. He had sent people to search several times over, but they found nothing. Lin Shen seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"There's no need to search further," said Emperor Tianshu indifferently.

"Does Your Majesty already know who it is?" An 6 exclaimed, overjoyed.

"Who else could it be but Tian Jiuyou? There is no second person in the world who could make someone disappear without trace under the watchful eyes of me and An Yi," sighed Emperor Tianshu. "It was careless of us, not to imagine that Tian Jiuyou would take such a risk for someone like Lin Shen. If we had foreseen this move and taken precautions, he wouldn't have been able to escape. Who would have thought he would take such a risk for such a trivial matter? That man, as ever, acts capriciously."

"Shall we go to the Jiuyou Group to demand his return?" asked An 6.

"With no evidence, on what grounds would we demand his return?" Emperor Tianshu thought and said, "If Tian Jiuyou wanted to kill Lin Shen, he wouldn't have bothered to abduct him. Lin Shen's safety should not be an issue for now, but we still need to figure out a way to make Tian Jiuyou release him."

"Tian Jiuyou has gone to such lengths to capture Lin Shen. Why would he release him on his own?" An 6 was puzzled.

"Under normal circumstances, it's of course impossible, so we must create some abnormal circumstances," Emperor Tianshu said with a smile.

"So Your Majesty had a plan all along," An 6 said, his eyes shining with admiration.

Emperor Tianshu shook his head and said, "I wouldn't say I had it all figured out, but we can give it a try. Tian Jiuyou's character is eccentric; most people can't fathom his thoughts, but I know that he is obedient to his wife and doesn't even dare to raise his voice. He is the very definition of henpecked."

"Didn't Tian Jiuyou's wife pass away?" asked An 6, confused.

"His wife has passed away, but her family is still around." Emperor Tianshu squinted and said, "Love for the house extends to the crows perched on its roof. Tian Jiuyou is extremely accommodating to his wife's family, even to the point of fulfilling any request they make."

"Does Your Majesty mean to ask for help from the Chi Family of Tianyan Lake?" An 6 was somewhat surprised.

The Chi Family of Tianyan Lake, although not ranked among the Four Mansions of the Chi Family, and its master not possessing a numbered rank within the Chi Family, was still highly respected within the Celestial Race. The name Chi Wuxin was held in considerable regard.

Chi Wuxin had guarded the Tianyan Lake Star System for a thousand years, ensuring peace for the borderlands for a millennium. Although he had never competed for a rank within the Chi Family, everyone knew he had the qualifications to vie for the name of Chi Yi.

And that Chi Wuxin was Tian Jiuyou's brother-in-law.

Emperor Tianshu neither confirmed nor denied it, only smiling and mentioning, "I heard that a prodigious young woman has recently emerged in the Chi Family of Tianyan Lake."
