Chapter 2730 - Crazy Consume

2730 Crazy Consume When Han Sen entered the Good Fortune Pool, it felt like he had jumped into a hot spring. Heat rushed into him through his pores, pouring through his body.

Han Sen grinned widely at the sensation. That hot air was some kind of lifeforce. The Good Fortune Pool should also reinforce his genes, but that lifeforce alone would benefit him a great deal.
Under the cleansing power of that intense lifeforce, Han Sen felt his body filling with energy. It was like he could play Mahjong for three days in a row without getting tired.
But the pure lifeforce wouldn’t be enough to cause changes in Han Sen’s actual body. Han Sen cleared his head and started casting the Dongxuan Sutra, so he could absorb the gene powers of the pool in the hopes of achieving a breakthrough.
As soon as Han Sen began to cast the Dongxuan Sutra, he felt like there was an unstoppable channel of energy surging into his body. It made each cell of his body come alive and rapidly change.
A mere second later, Han Sen felt something thicken within his Dongxuan Sutra. The geno art was showing signs of the nine tiers condensing into one.

Too strong! It’s too strong! This Good Fortune Pool is unbelievable.
Han Sen was as shocked as he was happy. The Good Fortune Pool’s energy was so strong, and it was giving him more power than he had expected. By a substantial margin, too.

If I had known what an incredible resource this pool is, I would have found a way to come here sooner. I would just need to take a bath. Becoming half-deified that way would be easier than giving myself a scrub. If I had come here sooner, my four geno arts would have become half-deified a long time ago. I would have saved myself a lot of trouble,
Han Sen thought as he continued to run the Dongxuan Sutra as rapidly as possible.
Buzz!
A moment later, Han Sen felt like his body was exploding with power. It felt like countless universal cogwheels were spinning with the Dongxuan Sutra. The force of it pushed Han Sen’s Dongxuan Sutra’s cogwheel, easily spurring him on to become half-deified.
Han Sen was surprised, but he didn’t have time to explore the differences that had come by reaching half-deified with the Dongxuan Sutra. He immediately cast Jadeskin. He wanted to use the frightening power around him to boost Jadeskin, as well.
Everything was going swimmingly because the Good Fortune Pool was giving Han Sen so much power. When Jadeskin absorbed the power, Han Sen didn’t feel any resistance. The geno art went straight into the condensing sequence, and all its tiers combined into one.
Han Sen’s entire body transformed into icy jade. He suddenly looked like a statue. As Jadeskin kept changing, his body became more and more like crystal. It shone as clearly and radiantly as a diamond.
Katcha!
The jade veneer suddenly tore itself off, like flaky dust being swept away from Han Sen’s body. Layer after layer, it went, and as it peeled away, the flesh of Han Sen’s body was reborn. It was like he had gotten rid of his old bones and installed a fresh skeleton.

It’s leveling up already?
Han Sen could barely believe this. Elevating the Dongxuan Sutra and Jadeskin to half-deified had been the simplest thing in the world. And there was even more gene power surging into his body. It was like he had expected rainfall, but now an entire river of water was plunging down on him. It was too much. Han Sen could scarcely comprehend it.

Something is wrong… Something must be wrong…
Han Sen continued to absorb the energy, but he couldn’t understand what was going on.
According to the analysis of the Very High, the Good Fortune Pool had been created by different deified xenogeneic genes combining together. It was a mixture. Therefore, the composition of the water was quite complicated.
When ordinary creatures entered the Good Fortune Pool, they absorbed a lot of the Good Fortune Pool’s water, but they could only refine the gene power of the water that was compatible with their own genes. A lot of the harmful gene power had to be neutralized or expunged. Otherwise, it could seriously damage their bodies.
For instance, if a creature that practiced fire powers came to the Good Fortune Pool, it would have to expel all the water element powers that it absorbed. Otherwise, the conflicting element would damage the fire creature.
Because most of the gene power in the water wouldn’t suit most people, a person couldn’t spend too long inside the pool. When the harmful gene power reached a high enough level to harm the body, they would have to leave the Good Fortune Pool. Once they left the pool, they would have to carefully release all the harmful gene power.
If the person in the pool triggered a vision, then the vision would release other gene powers and attract helpful gene powers for the person to absorb. So, when a vision appeared, the person could absorb vast amounts of gene powers, far more than usual. The harmful gene powers would only be a small part of the mixture. Therefore, the benefits those people received would be far better than those who couldn’t trigger a vision, and they could spend much longer inside the Good Fortune Pool.
But now, Han Sen’s situation was a strange one. He had been absorbing the powers of the good fortune genes for a while. A vision had yet to appear, but the gene powers that he was absorbing seemed perfectly compatible with every fiber of his being. None of the gene powers seemed harmful to him, as the theories he had heard suggested they should be. It was like all the Good Fortune Water was the purest type of gene power. Every drop helped him and aided the progress of his geno arts. There wasn’t a speck of harm entering him.
Han Sen swallowed like a whale and sucked like a mosquito. He absorbed more and more energy. He was taking in so much that he was almost afraid.

I’m absorbing so much gene power. Why isn’t something stopping my progress? It is like I can keep on sucking down as much as I want to. This is so weird,
Han Sen thought, slightly disturbed.
It felt as if he had gone to a steakhouse buffet. Most people could eat three steaks before being full, while Han Sen had already eaten a dozen, and he was still going strong. His belly seemed to have endless room for him to keep on munching.
Even Han Sen was surprised by this unusual situation. He was almost afraid to keep on eating.

Is it because my body doesn’t have any special elements, so I can absorb any elemental gene power? Is that why this weird situation is happening?
Han Sen thought to himself.
Although this explanation seemed a bit unconvincing, the good stuff that was coming into his mouth wasn’t something he was going to refuse.

This is a lot of energy. If I keep on taking it in, will I become deified straight away?
Han Sen was both awed and pleased by that thought.
If that is true, that would be awesome.

Han Sen cast the Story of Genes like crazy. Over the years that he had practiced it, the geno art had always demanded more sources than he had to give. He didn’t know where or when he would find an opportunity like this again if he didn’t take advantage of it now.
Han Sen absorbed the power from the Good Fortune Pool like mad. Shale and Li Chun Qiu were watching the changes occur from outside the Good Fortune Pool.
The Good Fortune Pool’s lifeforce was as insane as it always was. The spring water was swirling like a vortex, but other than that, nothing weird was happening. They didn’t see Han Sen come up to the surface.

It has been half an hour. Why has Han Sen not come out yet?
Shale asked with confusion.
For a King that hadn’t triggered a vision, half an hour was usually the longest they could last. Even the best half-deified would end up harming their body after that.
But Han Sen had neither activated a vision nor emerged from the Good Fortune Pool. It wasn’t only Shale who was curious about this. Li Chun Qiu was, as well.
