Chapter 103 - 95 The New Update of Pangu Continent_2
```
Moreover, Old Wolf had indeed made significant progress in those three years.
[Perhaps it was because of the plentiful food, a Pangu Grey Wolf that underwent a moderate mutation became stronger, its breeding ability greatly enhanced, and its lifespan significantly extended.]
[As it turned out, being a lackey did have its perks. Had it not been one, it would have long since turned into dung.]
[Shape: 6.6]
[Qi: 14.2]
[Spirit: 1.9]
[Extraordinary Level: Level 0]
[Ability: None]
Lu Yuan shook his head slightly.
After eating so well and only achieving a moderate mutation, and that mutation happening in its gonads, what use is there in rearing you?
As for the wolf pack...
Once the young wolves grew up, they were no longer so adorable.
Moreover, once the wolf pack grew to a certain size, it would naturally split.
The former pups would head to other packs to start new families.
Nature is indeed marvelous in this way; genetic power prevented inbreeding and expanded their territories.
But with expanded territories came numerous partings through life and death, and Lu Yuan couldn’t always help them. He could only let them develop on their own and reduce the number of times he fed them...
As long as one doesn’t get emotionally invested, even if some of the pack suffer injuries or die, it doesn’t hurt as much.
This may just be the price of growing up...
It’s only the few original mother wolves that were still relatively close to him, occasionally coming over wagging their big tails, begging for food.
As the saying goes, "One should never forget the wife who’s been with you through thick and thin; the wife who stays by your side through poverty is unforgettable", one should always treat the mother wolves he met in hard times a little better.
Oh, right, there are also those three Pangu Grizzly Bears!
Bears are solitary creatures, and once they’re grown, they must live alone.
A female bear’s territory covers about 30 to 40 square kilometers, while that of a male bear can reach 20 to 100 square kilometers.
Except for mating, bears avoid each other, and if they do come across one another, a fight ensues.
Three years had passed, and the mother bear still lived under her corn tree, leading an oblivious and carefree life.
However, Xiong Da and Xionger, the two brothers, had vanished.
This separation occurred all of a sudden.
Just a few days prior, Lu Yuan had fought with the two brothers, praising them, "You’ve grown up, your strength can now be compared to an excavator."
The next day when he went to see them, he found that they were no longer living in their cave.
It wasn’t because they were hunted by other animals, but because the two bears had grown to a point where they needed to leave their mother and live alone in the jungle.
Just like that, they were suddenly gone.
From this perspective, animals are actually much stronger than humans; they can easily accept parting, while humans cannot.
"Sigh... Before coming to the Pangu Continent, I had always lived with my parents as well, a creature that hadn’t left the nest."
"The last words I said to them were: ’I’ll be working late tomorrow, you keep setting me up on dates, is that not annoying? Either you go on the dates yourself, and if you like any of the ladies, just bring her home, I’ll go get the marriage certificate tomorrow!’
"The tone wasn’t great, there was no right or wrong... but I still have to go home!"
At this thought, Lu Yuan suddenly had an indistinct feeling.
With the intense emotion, the opportunity for a breakthrough suddenly appeared!
The Extraordinary Fire in his mind blazed wildly, showing signs of instability, and could explode at any moment!
Lu Yuan’s eyes widened with surprise as he exclaimed, "I really am a Crash Artist; as soon as I get a bit emotional, inspiration strikes."
He jogged into a small room by the window, where, under the sunlight, stood the Tree of Life and that Red Spirit Crystal.
Three years had passed, and the Spirit Crystal’s color had faded somewhat, consuming about 50% of its energy.
The Tree of Life was indeed a gold-guzzler.
Lu Yuan sighed deeply, realizing his own fortune was completely inadequate!
"If this continues, in three years, the Spirit Crystal will be out of energy."
Cultivated by a wealth of resources, it had grown rapidly to over a meter tall, and on one of its branches, there hung a shiny gem-like fruit (yet to mature).
```
```
That was his other life!
"Come!"
With a thought, Lu Yuan’s Tree of Life swiftly virtualized into a point of light and entered his mind.
Taking a deep breath, he bit into the fruit of the Cannibal Flower, and a massive surge of life force instantly filled his body.
[Vitality State]
According to the research of the Meida Civilization, there was basically no risk when an Extraordinary Spark broke through from Level One to Level Two.
The advancement in level would only make the Extraordinary Spark more condensed and its power stronger.
But the breakthrough from Level Two to Level Three presented certain risks.
Because the energy of a Level Three Spark would be intensified once again!
A mere Sea of Consciousness could hardly contain an increasingly powerful Extraordinary Spark.
An excessively strong Power of Pure Heart might even "burn" away a part of a person’s consciousness, leaving them an idiot.
Therefore, like breaking through to Level Two, a forced breakthrough would be fatal!
This was also the main reason why Lu Yuan had to venture far to seek greater Extraordinary Power.
Exploring alone was too dangerous... just like in immortal cultivation, without proper techniques, how could one possibly cultivate from the Qi Refinement Realm to the Mahayana Realm?
So, how to accommodate a Level Three Extraordinary Spark?
The method provided by the Meida Civilization was both clever and peculiar: to put it simply, one must open up a new "Qiankun".
Qiankun refers to the origin of the three-dimensional attributes of "shape, qi, spirit".
These dog-headed people believe their bodies have three Qiankuns, known as the "Upper", "Middle", and "Lower" Qiankun.
The original location of the Extraordinary Spark is in the Sea of Consciousness, which is at the Upper Qiankun.
But the Upper Qiankun is far too mystical and delicate, involving the mysteries of the soul and consciousness; any damage to the Upper Qiankun could turn one into a vegetative state.
The Extraordinary Spark indeed has the ability to repair the body, yet the brain alone cannot be healed.
If the brain turns to mush, expect it to be healed? Dream on!
Therefore, it’s necessary to transfer the Spark to the "Middle Qiankun" or "Lower Qiankun", and then one can boldly make the breakthrough.
But the problem is, the "Middle Qiankun" and "Lower Qiankun" only exist in theory.
They are essentially just an acupoint, not even an organ...
Expanding the "Middle Qiankun" or "Lower Qiankun" is not easy; it requires precise location and the corresponding medical assistance!
Lu Yuan had no medical assistance; he only had a cat twisting and turning and a dog that thought about mating all day long.
Moreover, his body structure was ultimately different from that of the Meida Civilization.
A complete copy would still have a high rate of failure.
He could only rely on inspiration from the universe and his own intelligence to refer to these materials and explore on his own.
"Are you finally going to breakthrough? Rest assured, a comrade will never deceive you." Old Cat excitedly crawled over, its fluffy paw touching the area above Lu Yuan’s abdomen, "I have helped you simulate it billions of times, this place is your Lower Qiankun."
"You must trust a comrade’s computing power."
The "Lower Qiankun" location it calculated is an area above the bladder and below the stomach.
The "Middle Qiankun" is at the position of the heart.
Therefore, the Safe Zone of Lower Qiankun is slightly higher than that of the Middle Qiankun.
For some reason, this cat was extremely curious and unlike a normal human, eager to see what the breakthrough of an Extraordinary Spark was really like.
After all, in its time, it seemed like there was no such thing as an "Extraordinary Spark"... of course, it could also be because of its memory loss.
It couldn’t remember!
Lu Yuan actually knew that his data simulation capabilities were not as good as artificial intelligence, and the location pointed out by Old Cat, somewhat resembling the "Dantian" from the Great Xia Culture, was not without reason.
So he made up his mind.
"Then I’m starting."
The Extraordinary Fire in his mind, under his control, vibrated faintly.
This condensed Spark radiated a white-hot glow.
This was the sign of extreme condensation, also the limit of a Level Two life.
Wave after wave of light and heat aimed unceasingly toward the direction of the "Lower Qiankun", trying to expand this "new home" a bit larger.
