Legend of the Mythological Genes
chapter-460-30041322

Feng Lin gradually woke up. A bright light flashed through his eyes as he stood up. And with it, a pressure akin to the might of a suppressed volcano emitted from the depths of his body, containing immensely vast vitality.

Genetic potential +3268!

The initial phase of transforming energy into qi.

Feng Lin instantly sensed a change in his body.

Not only had his genetic potential shot up by over 3,000, but he could also sense a concentrated qi flowing in his body. It was circulating along pre-fixed paths and forming complete cycles. The circulation continued unendingly. Was this cultivation method meant for ancient cultivators?

Feng Lin couldn’t help but feel amazed. Without realizing it, he had already cultivated to the entry-level of the Grand-grade Heavenly Immortal Art.

He carefully sensed the changes in his body before finally understanding the crux.

The personal experiences of the stone monkey allowed Feng Lin to peel off the layers of mysteries within the Grand-grade Heavenly Immortal Art bit by bit. The secret of ancient cultivation also began to be revealed in front of him.

Upon sensing this, his body automatically moved. He instinctively entered a cultivation stance and began to absorb the spiritual qi of heavens and earth, rapidly transforming them into true origin energy.

When he looked at the time, Feng Lin discovered that his trip into the mythological illusion-scape this time around might seem extremely long, but only an hour had passed in reality.

Within such a short time, all his mental energy was exhausted, but his cultivation improved rapidly. Moreover, he actually managed to officially enter the path of ancient cultivators, mastering the entry-level. Right now, there seemed to be a river of energy circulating automatically within his body.

(Is this the true origin energy of ancient cultivators then?)

Feng Lin mused silently, feeling astonished.

He used his spirit force to sense and discover a completely different type of energy from the mythological genetic force. This true origin energy had no attributes and was formed purely from the mix of one’s life potential and spiritual energy. It had the ability to nourish all living things, capable of transforming something rotten into something magical.

Genetic force originated from the mythological genes in one’s body. It flowed into each cell and one could control it with a thought. It seemed to exist everywhere.

The method of generating true origin energy was completely different. This energy existed within the invisible meridians and was also a type of transcendent force, but it belonged to a different system compared to the mythological gene cultivation system. An invisible network of meridians would form in the human body, connecting and forming a perfect cycle. This was clearly a completely different system.

These two completely different types of energy could actually exist without conflict.

In that case, could he cultivate these two systems simultaneously?

In the mythological illusion-scape, Sun Wukong’s cultivation experience was in his heart. If he chose to cultivate the Grand-grade Heavenly Immortal Art, he should be able to smoothly reach Sun Wukong’s level when he exited the mythological illusion-scape, the realm of refining qi into spirit.

Should he choose to repeat Sun Wukong’s steps and walk again on the ancient cultivation path?

Feng Lin felt his heart being moved. This was equal to him suddenly gain a method that could enhance his strength.

For the path of mythological genes, each gene was like a flight of steps. One had to slowly strengthen it, and there was no shortcut.

For the ancient path of cultivation, everything depended on one’s comprehension. Once one managed to comprehend certain insights, their improvement would be extremely quick. There were stories about this in myths and legends everywhere.

Chang`e flying to the moon, Lu Dongbin achieving his Dao in three years…

Now, he had the cultivation experience of Sun Wukong in his heart. It was definitely doable if he wanted to walk on the ancient path of cultivation.

He actually felt giddy after experiencing the trip into the mythological illusion-scape. The consumption of his mental energy was too great. Thus, he instantly began to rest.

When he opened his eyes again, dawn had already arrived. His mental energy had also recovered.

Since Feng Lin had already made a decision, he wouldn’t hesitate. He instantly began to cultivate the Grand-grade Heavenly Immortal Art.

At the initial phase, he just managed to generate true origin energy. This energy was still extremely weak, and he had to constantly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen it.

True origin energy slowly extended outwards, opening up an invisible path in his body that was gradually connected from its beginning to the end, forming a perfect cycle.

Feng Lin’s mythological path gradually entered a deeper and more profound state. His cultivation speed also slowed. He had to accumulate bit by bit before he could improve any further.

As for the ancient cultivation path, he was still at the beginning. Hence, his improvement in it was extremely rapid.

The true origin energy was like a river, absorbing the vitality in his cells, transforming them into spiritual qi, and fusing everything together. It grew stronger and stronger, as more streams split from the main river, flowing into the twelve main meridians, the eight extraordinary meridians and the Ren and Du meridians…

This was an unprecedented evolution process from scratch.

Combining that with the cultivation knowledge he had, Feng Lin instantly understood the true meaning of this. This was what it meant to borrow the false to cultivate the truth.

For mortal bodies and mortal birth creatures, it was tough for them to have the potential to enter the saint realm.

But through the ancient cultivation path, they could absorb the spiritual qi of heavens and earth to temper their bodies, reaching a point where their bodies and bones would undergo a mystical transformation that allowed them to construct energy structures within their flesh. These energy structures were known as meridians.

This was originally illusory, but if one cultivated in this manner repeatedly day after day, they would be able to turn illusory into reality, transforming the base of cultivators step-by-step and approaching the level of saints and deities.

This was the deepest mystery of the ancient cultivation path. One must defy the heavens and cultivate, borrowing the false to restore the truth. It was a path that was filled with boundless possibilities.

Meridians weren’t something humans were innately born with as they weren’t part of the organ tissues. They were just channels capable of transmitting the flow of life energy.

But now, under the strengthening of the true origin energy, the meridian map in the human body, which was extremely tough to be revealed, was now displayed, forming a perfect cycle system.

Feng Lin used his spirit force and could clearly sense this.

His meridians were extremely complex. There were the normal meridians, extraordinary meridians, and many hidden meridians and acupoints. Their number was like the stars in the sky.

If one wanted to convert life energy into true origin energy, the effort one had to expend would be immensely huge, and the process was extremely complicated. They had to carry out conversion at a rate of over 100:1 before they could generate true origin energy. And once there was the slightest bit mistake, they would suffer a backlash and injure their bodies For more serious cases, they might even lose themselves to their heart devils.

For those on the ancient path of cultivation, they had to be cautious. One could only proceed if there was no distraction in their hearts.

This was also why ancient cultivators would often seclude themselves in the wilderness. They didn’t want anything from the mortal world to disturb them.

After personally witnessing this, Feng Lin discovered the strong points of the Sun Wukong Gene’s cultivation path.

Sun Wukong Gene would develop his spirit and heart, capable of endless transformations, as well as able to accomplish anything.

Under the control of his spirit force, he could control the true origin energy, allowing him to use it as he desired.

The Cultivation Gene allowed his state of heart to be as still as water, without a single ripple.

Under the circulation of his true origin energy, the flow was extremely smooth, with no obstructions at all. His cultivation speed far surpassed ordinary people.

The true origin energy from Feng Lin’s body also grew increasingly concentrated, forming a vortex that sucked the spiritual qi from Feng Lin’s surroundings dry.

He was already at the adept level. As he comprehended more things, he decided to walk again on the ancient cultivation path. With Sun Wukong’s talent in his body, his path would surely be extremely smooth. He could transform everything he gained from the mythological illusion-scape into his own resources.

As he cultivated, he lost track of time.

The spiritual qi continued to flow in his body, forming a resonance with the heavens and earth. His depleted energy would be constantly replenished. Such replenishment was far more efficient than eating food to restore energy. This was also known as refining the essence of heavens and earth.

He was surrounded by a cool breeze that could be felt within his body as well. Feng Lin’s aura rapidly expanded at a rate visible to the naked eye. His true origin energy gradually expanded from streams of water into large rivers, before becoming a huge lake that exuded a majestic aura that could shatter all shackles into pieces.

He then reached the mid-phase of transforming energy into qi and soon after that, he entered the late-phase!
