Infinite Evolution: My Idle Evolution System

Su Yu saw Necro's frown and put her hands up to his face. "You're making the wrong expression. You're supposed to be smiling like before! Here, lift the corners of your lips—like this, like thi…"

When her nose suddenly brushed against his, she finally realized how dangerously close they were. She immediately erupted in smoke before backing away very slowly while turning her head away from Necro.

Her face then contorted like crazy as she furiously blushed. 'What was I even thinking back there!? Like seriously??'

'It's all that shtupid dummy's fault…!'

She returned to glaring at Necro, looking like a fierce kitty.

Necro dangled his head in confusion.

The atmosphere turned complicated. However, after a while, the two went back to conversing, and eventually, night came.

"Y-You're not allowed to sleep in my room!" Su Yu declared with a deep blush before slamming her room's door shut. "You perverted baka!"

"Hurm?" Necro didn't understand. "Do humans not sleep together?"

But he was sure he heard that somewhere.

How odd…

Necro's thoughts remained on this topic all the way up until he entered a different room of the multi-storied mansion. The quandary only cleared from his frontal the moment he sat down in a lotus position on the large bed presented in the room's back-center area.

"Cultivation," Necro muttered. "I should try it out for myself, should I not?"

His Shadow Tree Soldiers and just about every power holder in this world were not like him. Their power came not from an innately evolving natural strength, but rather from something called "Cultivation."

It was the origin of individual power in the Immortal World of Cultivation. And though only a select few possessed the talent necessary to tread the path of cultivation, it was undoubtedly one's best way to carve their mark in the world.

"If I want to protect everything I've built up and will continue to build, I'll need a cultivation base," Necro said resolutely, his expression a bit different from its usual indifference.

However, there was a dilemma.

He had absolutely no idea what cultivation technique he should cultivate!

None of the ones he pocketed from the Hundred-Eyed and Green Flame Sects suited him the slightest bit. And to make matters worse, Necro feared that no readily available cultivation techniques would pair well with his innate affinity with Nature and Life.

Just then, an idea popped into his frantic train of thought.

"What if I… just create my own Cultivation Technique…?"

As a being of absurd origins, Necro's ability to digest and utilize new information was unparalleled. And seeing as how he read through all of the cultivation techniques he'd snatched up thus far, it wouldn't be entirely unreasonable to say that his grasp on basic cultivation was extraordinarily high.

He might just be able to do it…

"No, I have to do it." Necro clenched his fists, the daunting memories of Yi Yu and the news of her death still fresh on his mind. "This world is not one for the weak. I have to carve out a path—both for myself and those around me."

A repeat of the past could not be allowed to happen again.

And for that to be the case, a Cultivation Technique had to be created. One that would propel him to the very pinnacle of what this world had to offer.

"But first and foremost, I need to attempt sensing the Spiritual Energy in the atmosphere," said Necro as he closed his eyes, entering a meditative state.

The Body Refinement Realm may focus on the physical aspects of one's body, but that physical refinement was deeply involved with the mixing of atmospheric spiritual energy. This meant the ability to sense Qi was a fundamental necessity required to start cultivating—

"Hmm…?" Necro opened his eyes not even seconds after closing them. All around him were glowing particles of varying sizes and colors, each representing a different Element.

'This phenomenon…'

"I can… sense Atmospheric Spiritual Energy…?"

From what he knew of common cultivation sense, the vast majority of people with cultivation talent needed at least a couple of days to begin sensing Qi. The less talented required even longer periods of time, with some even taking months to officially step onto the Path of Cultivation.

You could ask billions and hear not a single one of them tell you of someone who was able to sense Spiritual Energy in less than an hour.

As for seconds…

That was simply too absurd to imagine.

"Something's not right here…"

Deciding to get to the bottom of this oddity, Necro called forth his System Interface.

BLING!

{[Idle Evolution System (1st Ascended)]}

[Host: Necro]

[Lifespan: 3 / 71,209]

[Cultivation: Skin Refinement Realm (Early)]

[Spirit Roots: Life Embryo (Rank: Eternal)] – [(As the Successor to the True Source of Universal Life and a Rank 6 Life Entity, you've successfully awakened with Spiritual Roots that go beyond your wildest imagination)]

[Special Qualifications: Yggdrasil Fusion Entity (Allows for most basic of Spiritual and Lifespan Absorption)]

"I've already broken through the Skin Refinement Realm…?" Necro was struggling to comprehend the current situation. "And Life Embryo Spiritual Roots? What sort of Spiritual Roots are those??"

Many a book had been read by him, yet none mentioned anything that sounded like Life Embryo Spiritual Roots.

"There's this 'successor of the true universal life source' as well—but what does that entail?"

Necro was seriously confused.

Suddenly!

OOOM!

"Huh??" Necro was astonished to find his cultivation skyrocketing. "This is…"

Skin Refinement Realm (Middle)!

Skin Refinement Realm (Late)!

Skin Refinement Realm (Pinnacle)!

Flesh Refinement Realm!

In the span of a minute, Necro advanced straight from the Early Skin Refinement Realm all the way to the Middle Stages of the Flesh Refinement Realm!

Atmospheric Spiritual Energy was being automatically absorbed by him!

Ridiculous!

What need was there for a cultivation technique when automatic passive absorption was possible!?

WAAA!

Flesh Refinement Realm (Late)!

Another breakthrough!

"At this rate, I'll reach the Qi Condensation Realm in a day, won't I??" Necro questioned in pure disbelief, his current standards of logic being thrown out the window.

This disbelief only worsened when, less than 3 hours later, a breakthrough from the Marrow Refinement Realm to the Qi Condensation Realm presented itself to him.

Necro forced down the breakthrough. He did this in spite of his excitement, for he knew that his Foundation would surely become unstable if he continued going as he was.
