Legend of the Mythological Genes

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

The crystalline structure would lock the medicinal potency in, releasing them in waves. On the surface, there seemed to be no energy fluctuation. But the moment he swallowed it, Feng Lin felt fiery energy akin to lava coursing through his entire body. He felt like a volcano that was on the verge of eruption.

As expected of a genetic potion formed with a transcendent organ. This powerful medicinal potency was something Feng Lin had never experienced before.

The medicinal potency flooded his entire being waves after waves, challenging Feng Lin’s mental and physical resistance.

Feng Lin cast out all thoughts of distraction and guarded his state of mind, enduring the hellish pain. At the same time, he also activated ‘transforming energy into qi’ to aid him in digesting the medicinal potency.

The fiery medicinal potency was transformed into milder energy that seeped into his entire body. It felt like cool spring water raining down on his head. His entire body felt barren as he frenziedly absorbed that mild energy and nutrients to strengthen himself.

Feng Lin’s body began to swell up like a balloon. He now resembled a stuffed fatty.

The nutrients and energy provided by the potion were simply too abundant. All this medicinal potency being packed into a tiny crystal seemed somewhat of an exaggeration!

Burp!

Feng Lin involuntarily let out a belch, and a thick amount of steam was issued from his mouth. If this continued on, he would soon become a fire breathing dragon.

Fire, fire, fire…

His body flushed red as though he was being burned by flames. His sweat continued perspiring and the violent energy within him circulated frenziedly like ocean tides, filling his body with strength to the point where he felt like he was about to explode.

He activated ‘refining energy into qi’ with full force, rapidly digesting the overflowing energy.

Feng Lin’s body turned wizened but soon swelled up with strength once more. After that, the cycle repeated itself again and again.

During this process, he felt pain all over his body.

Feng Lin gritted his teeth tightly. His organs, his muscles, his bones—all of them were being broken down to atoms and reconstructed back, a cycle of destruction followed by rebirth. His form slowly grew more perfect.

Genetic potions were created in the first place to strengthen the bodies of humans. The original structure of the human body would break down and reform, and this intense transformation also meant extreme agony and pain.

After experiencing so many things, Feng Lin’s will was as tough as iron. He gritted his teeth and resolutely guarded the hint of clarity in his mind, refusing to fall into the deep darkness of unconsciousness.

Genetic potential +86%, +86%, +86%…

Also, this unswerving determination allowed his genetic potential to surge crazily, just like a rocket shooting through the air. Very soon, his genetic potential reached over 1,000%, and he gained a free primeval genetic point.

One couldn’t help but admit that as a transcendent creature, the Yamata no Orochi’s body was truly filled with vibrant energy. Just the transcendent holy water that concocted from a single treasure pearl from it allowed such rapid improvements to Feng Lin’s cultivation. Since this was the case, he could finally see the hope of breaking through to the elite cultivator realm before the second round of examination.

This bout of hard work and effort was worth it!

Feng Lin continued to cultivate, focusing on fully refining the medicinal potency.

As the medicinal potency was gradually digested, the violent waves grew calmer, but they still felt like floodwater gushing into all his meridians.

Genetic potential +80%, +80%, +80%

The gain in his genetic potential gradually slowed down; however, the speed was still considered extremely fast. Very soon, his genetic potential would reach 2,000%.

Also, his spirit force was strengthened immensely after he endured the hellish pain. By steeling himself and depending on his will to resist the pain, his spirit force kept increasing. When he had been in torment and agony earlier, his state of mind seemed to have been refined by the flames of pain. He had unconsciously depended on his spirit force to tide him through. Now, his spirit force grew more corporeal. If it was a formless gust of wind in the past, it could be described as a cloud of mist now, something more material compared to the past.

With a sweep of his spirit force, he could sense everything. The minuscule details in his ‘vision’ also grew more precise.

In the past, if his microscopic sight had been at 100x, it was now at 120x, 140x, 160x… and the preciseness continued to increase.

Things hadn’t ended yet!

As his genetic potential broke through the 2,000%, Feng Lin now had two free primeval genetic points. He didn’t hesitate and added them to his Spirit Gene, causing the strengthening tally to become 6 from 4.

BOOM!

His spirit force was instantly enhanced. Wild winds rose and thunderous tension of a storm could be felt in the air, emitting sounds of explosions.

But Feng Lin wasn’t too joyful. The strengthening tally of his Spirit Gene had reached 6, but his vitality stat was only at a pathetic 94.8.

Despite adding two free primeval genetic points to the Spirit Gene, his vitality stat only increased by 1.2.

Although his spirit force had increased, adding the points to strengthen his gene didn’t really increase his vitality by that much, each point only gave him a 0.6 increase. Wasn’t this too little?

Could it be that the stats limit of an interstellar cultivator was really limited at 100?

It was impossible to break through this limit?

Although he couldn’t confirm this, the current scene had undoubtedly shown him part of the truth. The nearer he was to the absolute limit, the lesser his vitality would increase by. Every point of increment was now extremely precious.

It seemed like he had to break through to the elite cultivator realm as quickly as possible. If he didn’t take the step and leap over the dragon gate, evolving into a transcendent lifeform, his vitality stats would always be stuck here.

Feng Lin calmed his emotions and continued to cultivate. Genetic potential +68%, +68%, +68%…

He immersed himself in the joy of his surging genetic potential. However, before he could be happy for too long, a warning notification sound rang out from the flying shuttle’s A.I..

“Warning! Warning! Warning! Captain, please take note that an unknown artificial object is discovered ahead…”

Feng Lin opened his eyes. An unknown artificial object?

One must know that he was already at a depth of over 20,000 meters in the Mariana Trench. There was actually artificial objects here? What sort of object would that be?

Curiosity appeared in Feng Lin’s heart. During the time when he was cultivating, the flying shuttle had been diving deeper all this while, and it had already reached a depth of 24,128 meters. He could be considered to have arrived at the internal area of this great oceanic trench.

“Hmm, this should be the nest of the Yamata no Orochi. Are there other unknown artificial objects here? Could more secrets be concealed around this place?”

Feng Lin suddenly felt extremely interested. He felt a sense of excitement at going deep into the sea to search for treasures. He controlled the flying shuttle and continued diving downward.

The light from the shuttle illuminated the surroundings. Reflected light flickering resplendently could be seen in the far distance.

The flying shuttle moved toward that direction, and after a rapid scan of the strange object’s appearance, a three-dimensional picture appeared.

This was actually a strange-looking pillar. It had a thick base, but the higher it got, the thinner the body became. It was roughly about 100 plus meters in circumference, and its length was immeasurable, deep enough that Feng Lin couldn’t see the bottom of it.

The flying shuttle continued to dive, and the iron pillar also continuously extended downward as though it was limitless in length.

Only when Feng Lin had arrived at the bottom of the Mariana Trench did he discover that this iron pillar was embedded deep within the seabed. Even now, he still didn’t know how long this pillar was.

Feng Lin felt extremely curious, how long was this iron pillar exactly?

There were actually traces of an artificial object from it? Who created this?

…..

As the flying shuttle continued scanning, a three-dimensional hologram of the entire thing appeared.

To his astonishment, Feng Lin discovered that the tip of this iron pillar was embedded into a gigantic island at the surface of the water as though it was supporting the island. This iron pillar seemed indestructible and felt like the work of God’s, a supernatural fine craft.

His heart stirred as he suddenly thought of something.

Could this be the legendary divine pillar in japanese mythology?

Or could it be his ulitimate weapon fron Sun Wukong, the ‘Ruyi Jingu Bang’.

Ever since the Ancient Earth Era, the island of Japan had been sliding toward the Mariana Trench every year. Also, Japan itself was a country with many earthquakes, and each earthquake would exacerbate the problem, accelerating this process further.

At that time, the scientists had already speculated that a few thousand years later, the entire Japan sink into the Mariana Trench, never appearing on the ocean’s surface again. However, ten thousand years had passed and not only did Japan not vanish, but the Japanese seemed to flourish and become even more prosperous.

The prediction of the scientists wasn’t actually wrong. Such a situation didn’t occur because of the change in era. Thus, new technology was developed which prevented that from happening.

After humanity left the solar system and began to awaken the power of mythological genes, they didn’t forsake the solar system immediately. As spirit particles were made known to everyone, some of the ancient mythological ruins in the solar system were gradually excavated.

All of these were traces left behind by the cultivation civilizations in ancient times and were remnants of their respective mythology. Their presence often attracted countless humans to fight over them.

This was especially so for the region near the East China Sea. A gigantic mythological ruin had been dug out from the sea. At that moment, all the asian countries had acted like sharks that had seen the blood, rushing into it and fighting among themselves. Some of them had obtained countless wondrous treasures, and each possessed unfathomable power.

But since then, 3,000 years had already passed. There was no longer any information with regards to treasures from the mythological ruins of the East China Sea.

However, there were still stories about a treasure that had been circulated even until now.

That was none other than the fact that Japan had obtained an extremely wondrous treasure back then. They had then transformed this treasure into a gigantic pillar and engineered a way to embed it inside the seabed of the Mariana Trench, supporting the entire Japan. This caused the sinking process to stop; it was a miracle indeed.

And that treasure, because it took on the form of a giant pillar, became known as the japanese divine pillar and was viewed by the Japanese as something with the traces of divine objects. This should be proof that their god, Amaterasu-omikami, had shown them a favor.

Could it be that this giant pillar under the sea was the japanese divine pillar?

Although this was also the first time Feng Lin saw this, he was incomparably sure of his judgment.

After all, not everything could extend over 20,000 meters deep into the sea.

He controlled the flying shuttle and continued to scan the pillar. He discovered that this pillar was perfectly round in circumference and kept extending downward like a heavenly pillar. It was supporting the weight of entire Japan, making it so that Japan wasn’t able to sink any further. Given the bulk of the pillar and its toughness, even if there were no other special effects, it could already be considered a divine object.

The A.I. of the flying shuttle started scanning the quality of materials that the pillar was made from. Soon after, the results were shown. According to the scanning results, this pillar was actually formed from 100% iron. There were no other impurities.

Only iron?

How could such a common element form this divine object?

This simply didn’t conform with the logic of science.

But the reality was before his eyes. The technology of the Flowerfruit Mountain flying shuttle was incomparably developed, far surpassing the standards of the solar system. It was much more reliable compared to Feng Lin’s own probing. If the scan of the flying shuttle had a mistake, Feng Lin wouldn’t be able to discover anything either.

At this moment, in the scan, a wondrous scene appeared. The image of the iron pillar’s interior appeared before Feng Lin.

To his astonishment, Feng Lin saw that the iron atoms of this pillar were precisely meshed together with incredible density. Each atom was a node, presenting an extremely complex web-like crystal structure. The density of the pillar was far superior compared to any other objects he knew, such a superior toughness.

Also, despite further scans from the A.I., the probe was no longer able to sense anything.

This was because the density between the iron atoms was simply too packed. It was like this entire iron pillar was a gigantic iron atom. There were no gaps between the atoms at all, even light radiation wasn’t able to seep into it. By using science and technology, Feng Lin could only see the surface of this mysterious pillar.

There must be deeper secrets about this iron pillar. That should be why it could screen the probes of science and technology despite them being extremely developed.

The flying shuttle circled the gigantic iron pillar once, scanning all the information it could perceive from it. Feng Lin’s heart stirred, and he discovered that the shape of this japanese divine pillar was really like a gigantic iron cudgel.

Could this be the Ruyi Golden Cudgel?

For some reason, this thought appeared in Feng Lin’s mind. But after that, a burst of self-mocking laughter rang out. How could it be so coincidental?

He was walking on the mythology path of Sun Wukong, but would he really be so fortunate as to coincidentally encounter the Ruyi Golden Cudgel?

If this was the case, wouldn’t his luck be way too good?

In the various mythology cultures, there were quite a few gods who used cudgels as their divine weapons. In India Mythology, the monkey god Hanuman was one of them. There was no need to mention about chinese deities. Several of them used cudgels as their weapons too. Naturally, this also didn’t exclude gods and deities from the other races.

In any case, things wouldn’t be clear unless he could confirm it with his own eyes.

Feng Lin stopped the flying shuttle at the seabed. He wore a diving suit that had the words, model 186, as he swam out.

This was a diving suit manufactured by the pinnacle science and technology of the Interstellar Era. It was able to resist water pressure up to 50,000 meters in depth.

The flying shuttle’s light was shut off. Feng Lin waded with his arms and swam toward the iron pillar.

When he was far away, he didn’t feel that this iron pillar would be so majestic. But the closer he got to it, he felt like he was standing before a heavenly pillar that could prop the heavens up. He felt as tiny and inconsequential as an ant.

Feng Lin increased his swimming speed. After he neared the pillar, his hands gently moved around on the surface. There were intricate lines carved on it, forming natural patterns.

Also, these patterns kept extending, forming into different pictures.

He moved nearer, observing it closely. All of a sudden, his heart pounded with shock.

He discovered that for one of the pictures, these intricate patterns actually formed into a word from the ancient chinese oracle script. Through the analysis of his A.I., it was an ancient word that represented ‘quantity’.

Endless fantasies appeared in Feng Lin’s mind. He continued feeling the lines. Gradually, he found eight ancient words, and upon joining them together, a rough sentence with the meaning below was formed.

“This object has no fixed form; it depends on the thoughts in one’s heart!”

So it wasn’t the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, the weapon of Sun Wukong?

Feng Lin inevitably felt a sense of disappointment. Despite knowing that the possibility of that was very small, the feeling of one’s hopes being dashed would naturally cause one to feel disappointment.

But he soon adjusted his emotions.

How could there be such a good thing in the world?

And if there was such a powerful treasure, how could a single person like him hold on to it?

Once that legendary divine weapon, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, appeared, it would surely shake the heavens and earth. That weapon contained boundless might, and only those major Interstellar Supreme Empires would have treasures on that level. Besides they would only have very few of such treasures. From this fact, one could see the rarity of such divine treasures, and it was far beyond one’s imagination.

Even if Feng Lin obtained it, once news about this was leaked, he would also not be able to hold on to it.

If this japanese divine pillar was truly the heaven-shaking treasure in the legends, how could a small country like japan on Earth, be able to maintain their possession of it?

Feng Lin no longer fantasized wildly and seriously began to examine this iron pillar closely.

Feng Lin sent his spirit force in, yet his spirit force soon rammed into some sort of barrier. The formless spirit force also had no way to seep into the iron pillar. There seemed to be a huge wall that would block all probes.

This feeling felt extremely familiar.

He suddenly felt excited once more. Even if this iron pillar wasn’t a supreme treasure from the old mythologies, it should still be a treasure with immense capabilities that was left behind by an ancient civilization. The feeling he got from this iron pillar was very similar to the furnace he had refined in the past.

Just when he was preparing to experiment more, wanting to see if he could use spirit force to attempt a refinement, a bright light suddenly flashed in the waters above him.

There were actually other humans who came so deep down into the Mariana Trench.

Who could these people be?

Feng Lin hurriedly dodged to the side; his flying shuttle had long since entered stealth mode, not leaking any trace of his presence.

A submarine as large as a whale slowly sank downward, shining with a blinding light which illuminated the surroundings.

Swiftly after, over ten people swam out from within. On their diving suit, the logo of a red sun could be seen.

Feng Lin narrowed his eyes. Wasn’t this the flag of Japan? These people were all Japanese!
