After entering the Land of Origin, Lu Yuan's life returned to normal.
He would cultivate for twelve hours every day and then apply for the King's List challenge.
When there was an arena challenge, he would challenge it. When there was no arena challenge, he would go to the Demon Dragon Mountain Range to hunt king and emperor-level fierce beasts to obtain resources.
When it was time to rest, he would go out with Yeye to eat something delicious. He would either be dragged along by Si Tingxue and Rebecca to cultivate, or he would accompany Amy to play.
His days were simple and fulfilling.
After his cultivation increased, the time limit he could stay in the Land of Origin became eighty days. With his cultivation speed, he could absorb about 1.9 million Grade Seven Spiritual Crystals.
The amount of spirit crystals needed to refine the Machenical Emperor's transcendent-grade gene to perfection was about five million grade-7 spirit crystals. However, Lu Yuan needed to consume slightly less spirit crystals because of the previous refinement.
When he entered the Land of Origin for the second time, Lu Yuan had almost completed his tempering.
Almost at the same time, Lu Yuan also rushed to the first place on the King's List.
The quality of the King roll was definitely higher than the prodigy ranking.
The kings in the first few rankings were not weak. The two kings in the first few rankings even had monarch class transcendent genes engraved on them.
To be able to inscribe emperor class genes at King class was already quite powerful.
However, it was only so for Lu Yuan, who had all his genes at the emperor level.
Lu Yuan hid a little. He only used the Sun Spirit Body, Cosmic Wander, and his own spirit skills, body techniques, and geno armament. He defeated two king class gene masters and became the first on the King List.
After Lu Yuan became the first on the King's ranking, his reputation became more and more famous. Naturally, it alarmed many factions in White Cloud City. The factions that invited Lu Yuan to join them on the Prodigy Ranking became more and more enthusiastic.
However, Lu Yuan rejected all of them.
To Lu Yuan, these invitations did not matter. All he wanted was the reward for breaking through the rankings.
The reward did not disappoint Lu Yuan.
From the 40th to the 1st place, Lu Yuan obtained a total of 1,000 treasures, including the Tier 5 cultivation spirit fruit, the Heavenly King Fruit.
Adding on the 600 from before, there were now a total of 1,600.
As long as he evolved to the emperor level, he should have about 16 million grade-7 spiritual crystals. For Lu Yuan, he should be able to refine the remaining transcendent genes.
Coincidentally, after Lu Yuan finished refining the Mechanical Emperor's transcendent gene, the remaining spirit power gene fluid and spirit crystals were almost used up.
He only had about two million Level 7 Spiritual Crystals left in the Evolution Cube.
However, Lu Yuan wasn't worried. He was now ranked first on the King list. With the auction house's free intermediary fee, he could auction off all the transcendent genes, geno armaments, and other treasures he had obtained before.
Of course, they were all after Lu Yuan had evolved.
Other than the Heavenly King Fruit, he also wanted a total of 200 Level Five ore stones. Including the ones from before, there was a total of 320 Level Five ore stones.
Lu Yuan planned to use a part of it when he broke through from Rank-5 to Rank-6 and keep the rest. Whether it was to auction it or if there were not enough Rank-6 raw gemstones in the future, evolving to Rank-6 raw gemstones was a good choice.
Other than that, there were two rank five emperor class geno armaments. Including the ones he had before, he had five in total.
There were also two emperor-class transcendent genes. Including the previous one, there were a total of three.
These three emperor-level transcendent genes were fire-type transcendent genes, and they were called Fireflow Vortex.
One was an ice-type transcendent gene called Ice Dragon's Fury.
There was also a metal-type transcendent gene called Metal Castle.
To Lu Yuan, although these transcendent genes were not bad, they were not what he wanted the most.
What Lu Yuan wanted the most was naturally the transcendent gene in the aspect of time. Unfortunately, he had not obtained it until now.
The second was a transcendent gene that could complement his shortcomings.
His current transcendent genes included the defensive ability of the Sun Spirit Body, the recovery ability of the Life Chant, the mechanical control ability of the Mechanical Emperor, the spatial movement ability of the Star Roaming, the explosive and purifying ability of the Holy Glory, and the domain clone ability of the Shadow Kingdom.
Now that he had reached the battle king level, he still had four more stages: Battle monarch, Battle Emperor, Battle Sage, and Battle Sage. He could inscribe four transcendent genes.
What was required might be transcendent genes of different elements or different domains.
For example, an extremely powerful control ability, an extremely powerful explosive attack ability, or a secret curse ability were all good choices.
Of course, he had to leave a blank genetic chain for the time-type transcendent gene.
During this period of time, Lu Yuan would often search for extraordinary genes that he might be able to use in the Genius Camp's mall.
He also found a few that felt pretty good.
For example, the Weakness Curse and the Corrosion Curse, which were used to silently curse others, the powerful offensive combat technique, the Ice and Fire Spear, and the Wrath of Wind and Thunder that he had given him every night.
Lu Yuan had yet to make up his mind to record that transcendent gene.
However, for Lu Yuan, it was not too urgent now.
After all, he was still some distance away from breaking through.
He had yet to perfect both the Divine Glory and the Shadow Kingdom.
He had to refine it to perfection first.
Other than the previous rewards, there were also various powerful talismans, genetic potions, five king-level spiritual fruits that could increase one's physical strength, called the Blood Spirit Ginseng, and a king-level spiritual fruit that could increase one's soul strength, called the Jade Spirit Ginseng.
