Han Sen started running. It didn't matter if the man was telling the truth or not, he couldn't risk his life there. If he ended up being taken to a galaxy far away, he'd regret it.
When he reached the door, Han Sen turned around and asked the man, "What is your name?"
"Left Crazy," the man answered.
Han Sen wanted to ask more, but he suddenly felt the whole mountain shake violently. Without hesitation, he said goodbye and ran down the mountain as fast as he could.
Boom!
With the rabbit shoes' speed, Han Sen heard a thunderous noise as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain. When Han Sen turned around to look at the mountain, there was nothing there. It was like the mountain had never existed in the first place.
"How did that mountain move?
How did it move so quickly?
I thought they were slow. "
Han Sen broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had run fast enough. If he hadn't, he didn't know where he'd be taken.
Han Sen took out the book Left Crazy had given him. It was just a diary, and there was no name written on it. He opened it and saw that it was all handwritten.
"Petrify. The name sounds ordinary. It can't be a geno art that makes one's skin as hard as stone, can it?" Han Sen thought to himself. He flipped through the Petrify manual and read through it.
Han Sen's face looked surprised. The geno art was called Petrify. Although the name was old, the content was something that opened Han Sen's eyes.
It was a complete geno art. Ordinary people, Barons, Viscounts, and even Kings could practice it. There were levels for each geno art.
Practicing Petrify wasn't to make one's body harder. It was to make one's body more like a stone creature.
Of course, crystallizers were like humans. They couldn't completely turn into stone. The higher the level of Petrify, the closer one would be to a stone creature.
But they weren't exactly the same. They were just similar in some ways. Petrify's main purpose was to make a human or crystallizer's body petrify. It made them like a stone, almost immortal.
Of course, under the influence of external forces, Petrify couldn't really make a person immortal. It was just that time and age didn't leave a mark on a petrified body.
For humans and crystallizers, ten thousand years was a time of destruction. But for the stone creatures, it was like a second. It did not affect them much.
Han Sen looked at it. If he could practice Petrify to King class, he'd be very close to a stone creature. Ten thousand years wouldn't affect his body. He wouldn't age while petrified.
But Petrify had a fatal flaw. When he used Petrify, his body would be petrified. He'd be like a stone, unable to move. Only his consciousness would remain. The higher the level of practice, the closer his body would be to a stone.
"It looks awesome, but it doesn't seem to do much. It just turns you into stone. Stone isn't very hard, and you can't move. Why did that guy create a geno art like this?" Han Sen thought to himself.
After a while, Han Sen thought of the possible use of Petrify. "I don't know if I can practice skills after petrifying. If I can practice skills after petrifying, then time won't affect me much. I can practice for a hundred million years without eating or drinking. That would be awesome."
Han Sen thought Petrify had a lot of potential. He wanted to try it out. Perhaps it would be useful in the future.
Petrify was just a geno art that changed one's strength and genes. It wasn't a geno art that could make one's body evolve. So, he needed to use powers like The Story of Genes as a foundation.
Han Sen thought about it. If it was a crystallizer geno art, Han Sen might as well use The Story of Genes to practice Petrify.
Han Sen found a safe cave and tried to practice Petrify. It was easier than Han Sen thought it would be. He cast Petrify, and Han Sen's body started to feel like stone. Han Sen knew he had completed the first tier of Petrify.
"This is easier than I thought." Han Sen tried the second tier, which was the Baron class Petrify.
It was easy to complete the Baron class Petrify. Han Sen kept practicing, and he noticed that Petrify wasn't difficult for him at all. In two days, Petrify had reached King class.
Left Crazy didn't write anything about what came after King class, because he hadn't reached that level yet. He guessed that after King class, he'd be able to petrify.
But without a skill to follow, Han Sen didn't dare practice it. If he turned into stone and couldn't return to his human form, he'd be done for.
"How can this be?
According to Zuo Fengshu, you have to reach a certain level to be able to practice Petrify. Why haven't I been able to practice it? Is it because of The Story of Genes? "Han Sen guessed, but he wasn't sure if that was the case.
Han Sen tried it again, and he noticed that after using Petrify, he couldn't practice other geno arts. That was because petrifying one's body would change a lot. Geno arts that targeted the human body would be useless. Han Sen tried it again, and he noticed that only The Story of Genes could be used while petrified.
"This geno art is so weird. Although I've practiced it to such a high level, I haven't had many opportunities to use it." Han Sen wasn't interested in Petrify anymore, so he started practicing the Dongxuan Sutra again.
After spending a month in the mountains, Han Sen was either fighting or practicing the Dongxuan Sutra. His Dongxuan Sutra was starting to break through, but it hadn't changed yet.
There were only ten days left before the red mist spring would erupt. Han Sen didn't want to stay in the mountains, so he went to the spring. His Spell geno armament still needed the spring to become a Viscount, so he couldn't miss it.
Han Sen went to the Red Mist Valley again, and he noticed that many xenogeneics were there. They all wanted to see the spring that was about to erupt.
But they all stayed outside the valley. They didn't enter the red mist, and they were all waiting for the spring to erupt.
Han Sen walked around, and he noticed that most of the xenogeneics there were only Barons and Viscounts. There weren't any that were higher than that.
Yisha told Han Sen that the red mist spring was only useful for Viscount xenogeneics. Any higher level xenogeneics wouldn't benefit from it, so it wasn't very attractive to high-class xenogeneics.
