Legend of the Mythological Genes

Nine-headed bird but not the nine-wind, it was the Ubume instead!

What did this mean?

….

Feng Lin gave an answer that veto-ed Zhao Yue`e, but he didn’t completely deny her answer.

Zhao Yue`e revealed a pondering look as she sincerely spoke, “Feng Lin, what do you mean? I do feel that this bird skeleton is somewhat strange. Although it has nine heads, it doesn’t have the auspicious aura of the nine-winds. Rather, it exuded a faint gloomy and ghost-like aura.”

Although Feng Lin’s cultivation base and experiences were far inferior to hers, her attitude was extremely proper. Her tone held a hint of seeking guidance when she asked him.

This type of pure dao heart wasn’t something everyone could have. Every time Feng Lin saw this, he was filled with praises.

He didn’t put on any airs of superiority as well and honestly replied to her.

“Senior sister Zhao, this is considered a very remote branch of knowledge in Huaxia Mythology. It’s very normal that you don’t know this. The Huaxia Mythology system is vast and profound. There are many branches and flows, including different things with the same name. The term ‘nine-headed bird’ is just a simple term for it due to the special characteristics of this species. It wasn’t able to fully express the nature of the biological creature. For example the nine-headed hydras of the west and the eight-headed Yamata no Orochi of Japan. The nine-headed birds of Huaxia could be classified into two types. One is nine-winds, the other is Ubume!”

“What differences are there between the two?” Seeing that a brand new piece of knowledge that touched on eastern Huaxia Mythology was being shared, even Sutt and the others who weren’t walking on eastern mythological paths also felt interested.

Mythology knowledge touched on the root of cultivation, so knowledge was priceless. Cultivators would never miss out on a chance to gain more mythological knowledge.

Feng Lin didn’t really care about such common knowledge. Also, he intentionally shared genuine information to astonish the rest. By doing so, when they arrived at the secret realm later, he might have increased authority.

From the start to the end, he had always presented himself as a lone entity, not part of Zhao Yue`e’s group.

“Nine-winds and Ubume were both nine-headed biological creatures, but their base natures were extremely different. Nine-winds have the character ‘phoenix’ in their name; they are a kind of phoenix and are an extremely noble existence that shares equal fame with true dragons in the Ancient Era. Ubumes are different, they are ghostly females that transformed into nine-headed birds. Their nine-headed bird bodies are just the form of a monster, and they are considered corpses, an entity that is half-ghost and half-demon. They like to feast on humans and are considered one of the evilest types of existences.” Feng Lin summarized. “If you don’t believe me, you can try and sense the aura of the skeleton closely. You should be able to sense a vengeful aura that is exceedingly hard to disperse, lasting from ancient times till now.”

Sutt and the others had a look of half-belief and half-doubting on their faces. They immediately reacted after they heard that.

The bird skeleton exuded a rotting aura. But when one sensed this aura to the deepest part, they could feel an intense vengeful feeling. Despite the passage of millions of years, it didn’t dissipate much. Just by coming into contact with it slightly would cause chills to rise in one’s heart, and they would feel extremely uneasy like they had fallen into a hell of endless pain.

Wu~ Li~ Ahhh~

Shrill voices of women cried out, causing disturbance to one’s state of mind.

Sutt and the others repeatedly stepped back as they perspired.

“Ubume Ghost Bird. A.I. quickly record this!” Sutt commanded, getting the A.I. to record this valuable mythological knowledge.

After understanding that Feng Lin’s words were true, not only did the shock in the hearts of everyone vanish, but on the contrary, they felt marvel in their hearts.

Mythological knowledge was supreme.

Cultivation resources might be valuable, but as long as one paid a sufficient price, they would still be obtainable given the boundlessness of the universe.

But mythological civilizations had already been lost to time. This was an irreversible past. What’s gone is gone. If they couldn’t even find any traces of it, it would be hard to restore their knowledge even if they had forever.

Hence, every bit of mythological knowledge might seem insignificant, but they were incomparably precious.

Many little things added up into something great; grains of sand gathered together would eventually form a mountain.

In truth, the basis for current cultivation was constructed precisely just like that.

(How does this Feng Lin cultivate? He is just a tiny elite cultivator, but not only is his ability to refine medicine strong, he even knows so much mythological knowledge.)

(Given his knowledge and accumulations in cultivation, he would break through to the adept or even the elite adept level sooner or later. At the very least, the adept realm would be of no problem to him. It is just that he is currently just at the elite cultivator realm.)

This was simply not scientific nor genetic at all!

They couldn’t understand this. They only felt that Feng Lin was shrouded in mystery, not allowing anyone to see through him.

How would they know that Feng Lin traversed time and was reborn here. He had just cultivated for an extremely short period, roughly about half a year.

Time was just too short. No matter how much his accumulations were, it was very hard for him to level up so quickly.

And while everyone was still in awe and shock, the flying shuttle continued to harvest the ancient skeletons and fossils.

Very soon, the A.I. reported, “Captain, another snake-type fossil has been found!”

The door opened and a giant snake skeleton of about 1,000 meters long was displayed before them after it was disinfected by high temperature and radiation.

There were numerous joints on the snake bones, each of them as large as a bull. Below its abdomen, there were actually two sets of eagle-like talons. It looked extremely strange.

“What lifeform is this?” Before they could lose themselves in shock over the earlier incident, another strange object was found. Sutt and the others were completely confused; they couldn’t help but glance toward Zhao Yue`e and Feng Lin.

Evidently, they understood that in terms of mythology knowledge, no one present here was able to hold a candle to the two of them!

Zhao Yue`e pondered for sometime before she stated with some hesitation, “Could this be a flood dragon?”

“No, this is a Kui.” Feng Lin’s eyes gleamed as he surveyed the fossil. He spoke with a calm tone. Clearly, he was convinced.

“What is a Kui?” This was another new piece of mythology knowledge. Everyone couldn’t help but ask hurriedly.

“Kui takes five hundred years to become a flood dragon. A flood dragon takes a thousand years to become a horned dragon and another thousand years to become a winged dragon. Kuis don’t have horns, They have the tail of a venomous snake and have not fully evolved into a type of dragon. They can be considered the embryonic forms of dragons and are also known as little dragons!”

This involved the true nature of dragons; this knowledge was incomparably valuable.

Feng Lin didn’t reveal much, just simply summarizing everything. He didn’t mention the more critical information about cultivating to become a divine dragon.

But even so, this knowledge was enough to stun everyone. They exchanged mutual glances and revealed hints of greed in their gazes.

Under such great temptation, some people here already had some ill intents regarding Feng Lin.

Zhao Yue`e sensed their intents. She silently moved nearer and stood before Feng Lin, shielding him from the gazes of others.

Only then did these people tamp down their evil thoughts.

One must know that each student of a cosmos university was a peak genius of humanity. They were selected through many trials and were treasures among treasures. It would be a great loss to humanity even if one of them died.

This was why the Great Wall University had called a military tribunal regarding the incident of the Great Qin Flying Shuttle back then.

This Feng Lin was already a student of the Great Wall University and his information was already recorded in the school’s files. Once something happened to the students, the university would surely investigate. It would be hard to mask things.

Feng Lin also faintly sensed the change in atmosphere. He grew more vigilant in his heart.

Although he only revealed some of the most shallow knowledge, it seemed that it still made him too conspicuous.

The human heart was treacherous; he had to be on his guard.

Cultivation knowledge was critical to cultivation. It seemed that his actions earlier were still too impetuous.

After realizing this, Feng Lin started to avoid giving out more information.

When new fossils were discovered, he merely spoke ambiguously, no longer as detailed as before. But even so, his casual words caused the people present to benefit from it.

The flying shuttle continued harvesting while flying. All of a sudden, it trembled and came to a stop.

Zhao Yue`e glanced outwards as a smile appeared on her face. “Look, we have arrived. This is the location we were talking about, the place where the Dustfall Immortal Pill was found. Feng Lin, if it wasn’t for your help, we wouldn’t be able to reach here so quickly!”

“The mythological secret realm?” Feng Lin grew excited. He walked to the window and glanced outwards. A moment later, he was completely stunned.

In his vision, a gigantic beast bone as large as an entire planet was floating in space, seemingly unchanged for all eternity. It was like a gigantic continent floating in outer space.
