I Have an All-Knowing Mirror

Chapter 30: Level 1 Lifeform

Breaking through and transforming into a Level 1 lifeform in the basement of the Zhou Family Old Residence was a plan Su Yuan had formulated long ago.

The leap from a Level 0 lifeform to a Level 1 lifeform represents a fundamental transition in life essence, which would inevitably cause some commotion.

Moreover, the Level 1 lifeform Su Yuan was breaking through to involved comprehensive evolution across all six dimensions, resulting in even greater disturbances than ordinary Level 1 lifeform breakthroughs.

Under these circumstances, attempting a breakthrough at the Jinshan Villa District would only invite unnecessary trouble.

After all, the Jinshan Villa District didn't belong to Su Yuan alone—there were other residents and patrolling security guards.

Therefore, breaking through at the Zhou Family Old Residence was currently the best choice based on Su Yuan's situation.

As for whether Tang Zhien would discover it... even if he did, it wouldn't pose any problem.

With Zhou Weiwei's life and death firmly in Su Yuan's grasp, Tang Zhien couldn't possibly betray him.

Furthermore, allowing Tang Zhien to discover and deduce certain truths—such as Su Yuan becoming a Level 1 lifeform—would only deepen his awe and loyalty to a greater extent.

This was also part of the plan formulated through the gray mirror.None of Su Yuan's actions were meaningless; each carried multiple purposes and considerations.

......

In the basement, Su Yuan sat cross-legged and slowly opened the jade box before him.

Inside the jade box lay a lingzhi that appeared as if nourished by fresh blood.

"Blood Lingzhi..."

As Su Yuan gazed at the Blood Lingzhi, he could faintly sense the immense vital energy contained within.

This great medicine, which had grown for centuries at the bottom of Ten-Thousand-Ravine Snake Valley, contained enough vital energy to overwhelm an ordinary Level 1 lifeform.

After contemplating the Blood Lingzhi for a moment, Su Yuan brought out two other jade boxes.

These contained the Hundred-Year Earth Milk and Tianshan Snow Lotus respectively.

"Let's begin."

Su Yuan checked the time and chose to begin his breakthrough at exactly 10:55 PM.

Life transformation and breakthroughs heavily depend on one's personal condition, and since conditions fluctuate unpredictably, precise timing is difficult to grasp.

However, through the gray mirror, Su Yuan knew that his peak condition during this period would occur at 10:55 PM tonight.

Breakthrough resources.

Breakthrough condition.

Breakthrough timing.

All were firmly within Su Yuan's control.

With a rustling sound, Su Yuan flipped his right hand, producing several dozen silver needles that he swiftly inserted into various parts of his body.

The Silver Needle Cultivation Method, provided by the gray mirror, was the most suitable cultivation method for Su Yuan before reaching Level 1 lifeform status.

It could fully stimulate his body's potential and maximize the absorption of external energy and vital essence.

With the silver needles in place, Su Yuan picked up the jade box containing the Hundred-Year Earth Milk and swallowed the drop of earth milk in one gulp.

Since Hundred-Year Earth Milk promotes evolution and transformation in the 'wisdom' dimension, Su Yuan immediately felt his intelligence level and situational control abilities beginning to improve upon consumption.

Compared to the other five dimensions, the wisdom dimension isn't particularly conspicuous, and many cultivation methods practiced by powerful beings in the cosmic depths don't emphasize wisdom.

But in reality, the higher a lifeform's level, the greater the impact of the wisdom dimension. Many ancient entities in the cosmic depths lay plans spanning millions or even tens of millions of years, subtly manipulating major trends—all relying on flawless wisdom.

Without wisdom, no matter how powerful one becomes, they remain merely an individual lifeform. To establish influence and coordinate everything requires sufficiently high wisdom.

Buzz~ When the wisdom dimension had transformed to a certain degree, Su Yuan raised his hand, picked up the Blood Lingzhi, and similarly swallowed it.

Since Blood Lingzhi promotes evolution and transformation in both the will and comprehension dimensions, Su Yuan immediately felt his mind becoming unprecedentedly clear as he began absorbing it.

Everything he had experienced in the past, all the problems he hadn't understood, now rapidly integrated and connected—especially his confusions about hacking techniques, which all resolved themselves.

The comprehension dimension relates to learning ability and understanding capacity, and it's one of the definitions for conventional geniuses in the cosmos.

Higher comprehension means faster learning ability and stronger understanding capacity—for the same material, lifeforms with high comprehension learn far more quickly than those with low comprehension.

As for the will dimension? Su Yuan didn't feel particularly obvious changes, only noticing that his mental thoughts had become more resolute, and that he wouldn't give up even when facing the greatest hardships and desperate situations.

For lifeforms, the will dimension isn't particularly noticeable in the early stages, but becomes increasingly important in later phases.

Twenty minutes later, when the comprehension and will dimensions had evolved to the appropriate level, Su Yuan turned his attention to the final remaining Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Picking up the Tianshan Snow Lotus, Su Yuan swallowed it as well.

A cooling sensation began spreading throughout his limbs and bones.

In the next moment, massive amounts of vital energy exploded within him.

Tianshan Snow Lotus promotes transformation and evolution in the three dimensions of body, soul, and potential.

In a daze, Su Yuan felt his deepest foundations slowly improving and increasing.

Additionally, his physical body was strengthening, and his soul essence was elevating.

Among the six dimensions of life, body and soul are the most easily accessible, and improvements in these two dimensions also produce the most obvious effects.

Boom.

Su Yuan's heartbeat began growing heavy, continuously spreading in all directions, while waves of intangible Mental Force also began radiating outward.

......

After completely consuming the Earth Milk, Blood Lingzhi, and Snow Lotus, Su Yuan's transformation and evolution reached their critical moment.

The six dimensions—body, soul, will, wisdom, comprehension, and potential—advanced together in parallel, steadily and firmly driving his life evolution and transformation.

Time passed.

Before he knew it, a whole night had gone by.

Tang Zhien, who had been standing guard outside all night, inevitably felt somewhat weary.

In his youth, he had also been a Hidden Force expert, but now he was old and physically weak. Not having reached Transforming Force level, he aged faster than ordinary people after a certain age.

Just then.

Zhou Weiwei approached carrying breakfast.

"Uncle Tang, you haven't slept all night. Have something to eat now."

Zhou Weiwei said with concern.

Before Su Yuan entered the basement last night, he had instructed that all security personnel be withdrawn.

So Tang Zhien had not only withdrawn the security personnel but had also sent away the domestic helpers.

The entire old residence now contained only Tang Zhien, Zhou Weiwei, and the resting Zhou Yu.

"I'm fine."

Tang Zhien looked at Zhou Weiwei with affection and asked, "How have you been feeling recently? Any discomfort with your heart?"

"Uncle Tang, I'm practically no different from ordinary people now. Yesterday I even went for a run for over ten minutes, as you saw." Zhou Weiwei said with a hint of pride.

In the past, she couldn't even stand for a while without feeling exhausted and experiencing heart discomfort, let alone run.

"That's good, that's good."

Tang Zhien felt greatly comforted and became even more determined in his resolve to serve Su Yuan.

Suddenly.

At that moment.

The basement door slowly opened.

A figure emerged from within, unhurried and composed.

"Sir!"

Zhou Weiwei was startled and quickly stood up to show respect.

"Sir has come out?"

Tang Zhien also reacted, putting down his breakfast and quickly looking toward Su Yuan.

"I'll take a stroll around the estate and return shortly."

Su Yuan, with profound depth in his eyes, glanced at Tang Zhien and Zhou Weiwei before disappearing from sight.

"Alright..."

Tang Zhien's pupils slightly contracted. Though their interaction had been brief, he had faintly sensed a peculiar, elevated feeling.

It felt like a giant looking down upon ants from a lofty height.

Tang Zhien had experienced this strange, elevated sensation long ago. Back then, the first-generation helmsman of Zhou Pharmaceutical was still alive, and the company was at a critical development stage.

One day, the first-generation helmsman took him to a place—likely a hidden base somewhere in Xia Country—where Tang Zhien had sensed a similar strange, elevated feeling from an elderly man.

Afterward, the first-generation helmsman of Zhou Pharmaceutical told him that the elderly man was a legendary Embracing Elixir Grandmaster.

"Uncle Tang, what's wrong?"

Noticing Tang Zhien's prolonged silence, Zhou Weiwei cautiously asked from beside him.

"Weiwei..."

Tang Zhien collected himself, his tone inexplicably shaken, "We've just seen a celestial being."
