Chapter 1: Atypical Transmigrator

When Li Boyang opened his eyes once more, he had already escaped that endless darkness.

However, his eyes still could not see anything; he could only vaguely hear conversations coming from outside that he could not understand at all.

Yet, Li Boyang did not find this strange.

Because he knew he was still an unborn infant, an unformed embryo.

It was strange to say, but even though his brain had only just developed, Li Boyang already possessed the initial ability to think and learn.

Day after day, month after month, he listened to those conversations outside.

Li Boyang was using a learning ability that no normal infant could possibly possess to familiarize himself with and learn the language of this world.

[So, am I a genius in this life?]

With this thought flashing through his mind, Li Boyang began to carefully sense his current state.

Unexpectedly, yet logically.

What truly supported Li Boyang’s thinking was not this underdeveloped infant body.

At Li Boyang’s dantian, a sword pellet that existed between being and non-being, presenting a translucent state, was his true soul vessel.

[So I have become a sword spirit?]

As a new-generation transmigrator from the twenty-first century, Li Boyang possessed sufficient capacity for acceptance and understanding.

As for how Li Boyang became a sword spirit?

Through the constant backtracking of his fragmented memories.

In a trance, Li Boyang seemed to see the life of an "atypical transmigrator."

After transmigrating to a strange, foreign world, he had not obtained any fortuitous encounters or golden fingers.

Instead, due to the death of his physical body, his soul was abnormally exposed to a bizarre old man.

Then, that old man screamed and laughed in a language Li Boyang could not understand, quickly capturing him.

By the time Li Boyang reacted.

The old man had already thrown him into a massive pill furnace, attempting to refine his soul with a terrifying tri-colored flame.

Not tolerated by heaven, not tolerated by earth, nor falling into reincarnation...

As a soul from another world, no matter how the old man tortured him, Li Boyang always maintained an "indestructible" attribute.

Until the old man took out a small golden sword, and Li Boyang’s soul was eventually refined by that massive furnace and merged into the small golden sword.

His memories of before the transmigration also began to become fragmented at that time.

[Then the question arises, how did I escape from his hands?]

[And why did I become this fetus-like appearance now?]

Although there were ten thousand doubts in his mind, Li Boyang’s mood was surprisingly calm.

He knew his current state was not normal, yet he could not produce the slightest bit of anger or hatred.

While the old man’s various actions had not completely refined Li Boyang’s soul, they still had a profound and lasting impact on him.

Extreme calmness, or rather indifference, was just one of the side effects.

Without the interference of seven emotions and six desires, Li Boyang could more calmly examine everything happening to him from the perspective of a complete bystander.

[Emotions are merely biological hormones...]

[Once I regain a body, I will recover my emotions sooner or later.]

Thinking this, Li Boyang closed his eyes again, quietly sensing the development process of his body in this life.

Then Li Boyang noticed the "fissure" at the center of his brow, which was clearly not an organ of a normal biological development.

[Pineal gland?]

[No, that is a third eye, a Heavenly Eye!]

If Li Boyang still had emotions now, he would surely have been astonished beyond measure.

Li Boyang was not sure if that Heavenly Eye was a necessary organ for the creatures of this world.

But he could clearly realize that this yet-to-be-formed Heavenly Eye was different from normal biological organs.

Merely by attempting to open that Heavenly Eye, Li Boyang saw intangible things surrounding his embryo, similar to Qi and blood.

That was when the embryo was still in the prenatal stage.

A type of nutrient specifically produced by the maternal placenta to allow the child to grow healthy and strong.

Although he had never seen anything like it, this did not prevent Li Boyang from seeing its function and utilizing it.

Hu!

With his rhythmic fetal breathing, those nutrients were accelerating their integration into Li Boyang’s body, allowing his body in this life to grow in a more perfect state.

And different breathing rhythms seemed to affect the embryo’s absorption of those nutrients.

Therefore, through the observation of the unformed Heavenly Eye at his brow.

Li Boyang began to consciously control his fetal breathing rhythm to absorb and digest those nutrients to the maximum extent.

It was also during this process that Li Boyang noticed those nutrients were surprisingly effective for the sword pellet at his dantian as well.

Or more accurately, the sword pellet at the dantian and the Heavenly Eye at the brow were the organs with the highest utilization rate for those nutrients.

After absorbing those nutrients, the sword pellet became even more brilliant.

After absorbing those nutrients, the Heavenly Eye’s formation speed became faster and faster.

After some comparison and observation by Li Boyang.

He discovered that if he followed a normal infant’s absorption of those nutrients, the Heavenly Eye could never have formed within the ten months in the womb.

[From this perspective, the Heavenly Eye seems to be a 'discarded organ' abandoned during the process of biological evolution?]

After reaching this conclusion, Li Boyang really did not know how to evaluate it.

After all, the Heavenly Eye required too many nutrients; being abandoned during the embryonic stage was simply the most correct choice.

Because biological evolution never evolves in the direction of "perfection" or "the strongest."

"Applicability" is the unchanging principle of biological evolution.

[Being able to promote the secondary development of a 'discarded organ,' and also having a certain strengthening effect on the sword pellet and soul.]

[Could those nutrients be the 'Primordial Qi' from Taoist legends?]

With this thought flashing through his mind, Li Boyang quickly withdrew his slightly wandering thoughts.

[Now is not the time to think about these...]

[So far, there is still a more important problem waiting to be solved!]

[Can my mother in this life provide enough nutrients for my development?]

If he were in the twenty-first century, Li Boyang would not worry about this problem at all.

But the problem now is, if the world he is in is the world of that bizarre old man, then it has nothing to do with any technological era.

Referring to the ancient feudal, or even slave society periods of Earth.

It was very common for the mother to be unable to provide sufficient nutrients for the infant, or to give birth to a stillborn due to various accidents, or even for both mother and child to die.

[It seems the research and utilization of 'Primordial Qi' must be slowed down.]

[I must first ensure that I can be born safely, rather than becoming a stillborn due to being too greedy.]

Having rarely reincarnated as a human again, Li Boyang had a clear understanding of this.

Thus, he began to listen more carefully to the various sounds and conversations coming from the outside world.

Language... is often the first threshold to understanding the world.
