Chapter 89: Chapter 89
Zixin then began to contract with the insects but this time, he’d changed his branding from that of a blue flame to that of a black larvae tattoo. These brand appeared in any random part of the insect’s body and some brands were extremely tiny, having to magnify your view just to see them.
Since these insects didn’t put up any resistance, contracting with them was an easy job for Zixin but he simply had too many insects. By the time he finished contracting with them, it was already late and Zixin fell asleep.
While asleep, his heart began to pump and with each pump, it began to glow and when it glowed, the totems on Zixin’s bones also began to glow. Information was then sent into his brain and then everything returned to normal.
Zixin woke up the next morning feeling fresh...and hungry. He was about to get out of bed when suddenly, his mind started to process foreign information and once it was done, Zixin was pleasantly surprised.
’Overlord Divine Gu Scripture and the Vassal Complementary Scripture.’
He’d received two cultivation scriptures out of nowhere and the Overlord Divine Gu Scripture sounded quite powerful. According to the information, the Overlord Divine Gu Scripture is a unique scripture that only Zixin can cultivate. Be it Mana or Qi or other types of energy, this scripture can absorb and refine them at a speed a hundred times faster than ordinary Gu Masters. If a Gu Master has talented Gu then the absorption and refinement of energy is increased by many folds, depending on the Gu’s talent.
With this scripture, he can also speed up the Mysterious Energy Cycles by filling up his Heart Gu Gourd with the refined energy. For every cycle of cultivation, ten percent of that energy will go to the heart to fill it up. Once Zixin has filled up his heart, he’ll undergo the 2nd Mysterious Energy Cycle. It’s also stated that he has a 100% Compatibility with Rank 1 to Rank 3 Gu. 80% for Rank 4, 60% for Rank 5, 40% for Rank 6, 20% for Rank 7 and 0% for Rank 8 Gu.
As for what was meant by Compatibility, Zixin had absolutely no clue but he was still happy to receive a cultivation technique that sounded powerful. The Vassal Complementary Scripture on the other hand seemed like a downgraded version of the Overlord scripture.
When one reaches the 1st Mysterious Energy Cycle of this scripture, their Compatibility will increase by 5%, same for the other Mysterious Energy Cycles. As for other advantages, they weren’t mentioned. Although confused, Zixin decided to try to cultivate this scripture.
He sat cross legged and tried to feel the Mana around him but nothing happened. He couldn’t even sense a wisp of it. No matter how many times he tried, he just couldn’t feel any Mana.
’Am I actually a Trash cultivator?’ he asked himself but what he’d forgotten was that he actually wasn’t human anymore and not just that, his physique, bloodline and every part of his body was designed to reject these types of energies. Only phyisal cultivation would work for him.

Zixin then summoned all his insects and began to cultivate according to the scripture and the most shocking thing happened. All his Gu began to glow as they absorbed the Mana in their surroundings. Even Baby Poldi could absorb and refine Mana into her body but unlike the other Gu, Mana actually strengthened her body and made it heavier.
For two hours straight, Zixin and his Gu remained motionless and after two hours, one cultivation session was complete.
’So this Overlord Divine Gu Scripture also weakens the bottlenecks of my Gu. A few more sessions should allow all my Gu to breakthrough to Rank 1 Gu. But I can feel that they should have broken through already using this scripture, what could the problem be?’ Zixin thought to himself.
He decided to activate his Compound eyes and saw the 100% above all his insect heads and dismissed it. His Gu hadn’t stopped cultivating and were actually glowing in different colours in his eyes. He also saw an extremely vague and illusory rainbow colour that his insects were absorbing and refining.
’Mana! I can see the colour of Mana!’ Zixin was mind blown. Back in the forest when he was training his eyes, this rainbow colour was only seen by chance a few times and he’d wondered what it was, now he knew that it was actually Mana.
He didn’t move a single inch from his position after making this discovery and continued to watch his insects cultivate. Six hours later, all his Gu except for Baby Poldi broke through to Rank 1 and grew slightly larger. The Blue Dragonfly that he found in the forest was now about seventy centimetres long from head to tail and its body was stronger.
’Was the advancement slow because Mana is least concentrated here or what? I gotta check this out.’ Zixin rushed to his window and opened it, the Mana in the city was very thin. The Mage Tower was actually absorbing most of the Mana, leaving very little for everyone else.
’So it really was because of Mana concentration.’
When he looked in the direction of the Green Forest Outskirts, the Mana was still thin further away, the concentration slightly increased and furthest away, the rainbow colour was more visible to him, just that there was also a bright red colour that dwarfed the rainbow colour.
’What does the red colour mean? Danger? Blood?’
There were also other colours like gold, green, blue, yellow, purple, orange and a lot more. Zixin noted down in his mind that he had to investigate what each colour he saw indicated. Only then could his eyes be put to full use. Surprisingly, the region where the Guild Market was located also had a purple colour.
’Let me go and check it out quickly.’ thought Zixin as he unsummoned his Gu and rushed out of the apartment and bumped into someone.
"I’m sorry!" he apologised as he rushed off.
