It was a very strange feeling. It was like many small ice particles were being absorbed into his body. When they touched his flesh, they melted and were absorbed.
When the Jade Air was absorbed into his cells, Han Sen noticed his body was changing. His skin was glowing with a jade color.
Han Sen looked at Yun Fei and the others in the Jade Air. They were all glowing like jade. They were like statues made of jade.
"This Jade Air is very powerful. It can change the genes of the body.
This Jade Air must be another form of xenogeneic gene, "Han Sen thought to himself.
"Left Crazy once said that the stone could have a life, too. It's just that it's different from ours.
If the White Jade Jing is a different creature, then this Jade Air must be its xenogeneic gene.
I wonder what level the White Jade Jing is. "Han Sen kept absorbing the Jade Air as he tried to guess.
However, this was only a guess. It was completely based on Left Crazy's assumption. Whether it was true or not, at least no one could prove it yet.
Han Sen used The Story of Genes to absorb the Jade Air. He turned it into The Story of Genes' power.
The Story of Genes was very compatible with all sorts of elemental powers. After absorbing the Jade Air, it improved. But he still couldn't break through the bottleneck. It was as if he was missing something.
"Didn't Thousand Feather Crane say that the higher I go, the stronger the Jade Air becomes? Perhaps I can use it to break through the bottleneck," Han Sen thought to himself. He stood up and went to the fourth floor with the Jade Air around him.
The third floor's Jade Air was too weak for Han Sen. Although he was a Viscount, Han Sen had absorbed a lot of xenogeneic genes to improve his body. His body was much stronger than an ordinary Viscount's.
Han Sen had maxed out his Viscount genes, so his body was as strong as an Earl's.
The moment he stepped onto the fourth floor, Han Sen felt his body go cold. The Jade Air on the third floor was cool, but on the fourth floor, it was like ice. After it entered his body, Han Sen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
But that level of cold was not enough to shake Han Sen's body. He looked around the fourth floor, and he saw a few people in the Jade Air. Aside from the Sky, there were two other outsiders. But Thousand Feather Crane was nowhere to be seen. He didn't think he was on this floor.
Han Sen absorbed the Jade Air and tried to break through the bottleneck of The Story of Genes. He noticed it did not work, so he kept going to the fifth floor.
The moment he entered the fifth floor, Han Sen felt as if his body had been frozen. He stood at the entrance of the fifth floor, as if he had turned into a real jade statue.
The Jade Air was like a drop of water turning into ice. Even with the strength of Han Sen's body, he could not refine the Jade Air. The Jade Air was rampaging through his body.
Han Sen felt his body grow colder. That coldness was not due to the drop in temperature. It was due to the weakening of his lifeforce.
Han Sen could feel his body turning into jade. His lifeforce was getting weaker and weaker. He cast The Story of Genes, but he could not stop his body from turning into jade.
Because the Jade Air's gene power was far greater than Han Sen's own gene power, his genes were being eroded by the Jade Air.
Han Sen was shocked. He did not expect the difference in strength of the Jade Air to be so great. With his current power, it was difficult for him to practice on the fifth floor.
With his power, he could fight the Jade Air, but that would lose the purpose of practicing.
Han Sen's heart jumped. He cast Petrify, and his body turned into stone. After the Jade Air entered his petrified body, it could no longer erode Han Sen's genes. It nourished Han Sen's petrified body, and the Jade Air became gentler and easier to absorb.
After being petrified, the only geno art Han Sen could cast was The Story of Genes. He did not have to think about anything else. He cast The Story of Genes like crazy to absorb the Jade Air of the fifth floor.
The pure Jade Air was absorbed into his petrified body. It ran through his body according to The Story of Genes, and it made Han Sen's petrified body look like crystal jade.
With the help of the powerful Jade Air, Han Sen kept trying to break through the bottleneck. He wanted to become an Earl, but he kept failing. The Jade Air was so strong, but it was still unable to break through the final stage of The Story of Genes.
Two hours later, the Jade Air was gone. Han Sen deactivated Petrify, and he felt a little discouraged.
"The Jade Air is so strong, yet it still cannot break through The Story of Genes' bottleneck. What do I have to do to become an Earl?" Han Sen felt depressed.
The people on the fifth floor saw a stranger, and they looked at Han Sen. He was not one of the Sky, and that made them even more confused.
Because they did not know Han Sen, they did not expect Han Sen, a Viscount, to be able to reach the fifth floor while the Jade Air was erupting. So, they did not think he was Han Sen. They thought he was a new Earl.
Han Sen did not talk to them. He went straight to the sixth floor. He had Petrify, so no matter how strong the Jade Air was, it would not harm him.
"If the Jade Air of the fifth floor cannot help me break through, then I will go one step further."
Han Sen walked to the sixth floor. There were the most cultivators on the sixth floor compared to the first six floors.
But no one cared about Han Sen's arrival. It was not the time for the Jade Air to erupt, so it was pointless for him to go to the seventh floor.
Han Sen looked around the sixth floor, but he did not see Thousand Feather Crane. So, he went to the seventh floor.
Of course, Han Sen saw Thousand Feather Crane on the seventh floor. Aside from Han Sen, there were three other people on the seventh floor.
Two of them were of the Sky, and one of them was bald. His head had nine moles that looked like scars. He was of the Buddha.
But he was young. He must have been around the same age as Speechless. It was not easy to reach the seventh floor at such a young age. He must have been one of the top Earls. Ordinary Earls could only reach the fifth floor.
Of the two Sky, one was Thousand Feather Crane, and the other was a young woman that Han Sen did not recognize.
Han Sen looked at them, and they looked back at Han Sen.
"Brother Han Sen, why are you here instead of practicing?" Thousand Feather Crane asked, looking at Han Sen.
Before Han Sen could answer, the young Sky woman looked at him with shock. "You are Knife Queen's student, Han Sen?"
Han Sen saw her look of shock, and he knew what she wanted to say. He smiled and said, "Yes, I am Han Sen. Thousand Feather Crane carried me to Sky Palace."
