Legend of the Mythological Genes

“Directly ascending 1,000 levels?!”

Upon hearing this, even Feng Lin was shocked.

There was actually something like ascending a thousand levels straight?

But when he saw the serious look on that person’s face, it felt like this person wasn’t joking.

“That’s right.” The person in silver attire from the internal affairs department spoke seriously, not joking at all. He gave a deep bow and apologized, “Adept Feng Lin, it’s our mistake. Due to us severely underestimating your strength, we caused you to waste your precious time. This is our mistake. Hence, after further analysis, we decided to send you up by 1,000 levels in one shot!”

The words of this person were beautiful. But Feng Lin’s senses were extremely sharp, and he could sense unease and trepidation from the tone of this man. A smile then appeared on Feng Lin’s face.

(Wanting me to head up so quickly? Are they afraid of me destroying these pagoda lords?)

He saw through what was happening, but he didn’t state it explicitly as well.

Feng Lin didn’t want things to be too troublesome as well.

Fighting on these levels posed no challenge to him at all. It would just be a waste of his spirit force.

One must know that the reason why he came to the Heaven Reaching Tower was to seek out strong opponents to temper himself, so he could achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation more quickly.

His time was limited and he couldn’t afford to delay his advance any longer.

In any case, what was happening now was beneficial to him and it suited his intentions as well.

“Fine.”

Hu…

Upon seeing Feng Lin agree, that person let out a breath that he was holding. He was deeply afraid that Feng Lin wouldn’t agree.

Spirit force was simply too tyrannical and bizarre. If they allowed Feng Lin to continue breaking through each level, the Daoheart of those pagoda lords might be severely damaged.

Hence, the sending of this man to the higher levels was something that couldn’t be delayed.

It was better to allow Feng Lin to clash with those monsters on the higher levels rather than allowing him to abuse the cultivators on these levels.

Luckily, everything could be resolved perfectly.

Feng Lin’s lips curled up into a smile. Under his sharp spirit senses, the thoughts in this man’s heart were truly laughable.

Let’s hope that the pagoda lord on the 8,700th level wouldn’t disappoint him!

Since the internal affairs department of the Heaven Reaching Pagoda wanted him to leap directly by a thousand levels, it was clear that they wouldn’t be delivering free kills to him!

Most probably, from their estimation, the pagoda lord on this level might have a way to withstand mental/spirit attacks.

If that opponent couldn’t even withstand his spirit force, that would truly be too disappointing.

He directly walked toward the elevator, heading to the higher levels amidst the sounds of cheering of the crowd.

“Breaking through 1,000 levels in a single day. This legendary feat most likely wouldn’t happen again in the future!”

“Spirit Slayer Lin Feng, there’s another peak cultivator in the universe!”

“When one cultivates a mental/spirit type gene to the limits, one will actually be so powerful and can secretly kill people. The invisible blade is truly the most fatal!”

“Seems like it’s worthy of our time to do some research on this type of mythological genes!”

…

Although Feng Lin went to higher levels, his achievements here at the 7,000+ levels had already become a legendary story in the Heaven Reaching Pagoda. Countless people were recounting his tale.

As for all of this, Feng Lin naturally had no idea. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care about it.

The elevator speed was extremely quick, shooting upwards. Through the glass door, Feng Lin could even see the resplendent astral rivers of the universe. Riding the elevator would give the person a sensation like he was floating in space.

The elevator stopped at level 8,700. He had arrived at the targeted location.

After walking out, contrary to Feng Lin’s expectations, this level actually didn’t have the cheering noises of the earlier levels. It was more like an independent world with its own layout.

The forest here was extremely dense, swaying gently in the wind. There were mountains and sources of flowing water; this land seemed to brim with vitality.

In the distance, an old temple on an ancient peak could be seen. It exuded tranquility that no mortals would be willing to disturb.

“Next, the challenge that awaits Spirit Slayer Lin Feng would be the 8,700th pagoda! The pagoda lord here is Master Diamond. He is proficient in the skill Immovable Zen Heart and Invulnerable Vajra Martial Art. He has awakened the Angry Vajra Gene and is walking on a Buddhist-type mythological path. Can Spirit Slayer Lin Feng maintain his dominating position from before? Let us wait and see!”

Although this level was quiet, the broadcast of the Heaven Reaching Pagoda continued.

Feng Lin’s eyes gleamed with a silver light as he stared at his surroundings. Through the invisible masking layer, Feng Lin could see numerous figures. These were none other than the spectators and the host.

Could it be that for the higher levels of the pagoda, there would be special arrangements every time?

These environments could isolate the spectators and host from the fighters, so that it wouldn’t affect the combatants from unleashing their full power. In fact, there might even be some unique environments that could greatly increase the strength of the pagoda lords.

“Buddhas have two faces, one of kindness, one of ferocity, mixing in the truth and lies”

“Wanting to intimidate people with its aura, yet forgetting that it’s nothing but a statue made from mud.”

This ancient temple was on a peak surrounded by a dense forest.

The levels of the Heaven Reaching Pagoda were a mixture of the illusory and reality. Each level was a brand new world.

Feng Lin’s ears moved as he suddenly heard a zen verse.

A booming bell could be heard from within the ancient temple. At this moment, a sturdy-looking great monk walked over. His skin was a bronze golden, like he was a true vajra that had descended into the mortal world. He was at least above three meters in height and had a kasaya on. An aura as heavy as a mountain gushed forth from him.

The staff of this monk slammed onto the ground, causing the earth to tremble. He spoke in a muffled tone.

“Fan Bin, the top martial monk of Vajra Temple is here. Benefactor, I greet you.”

A golden monk? A true vajra descended into the world!

Feng Lin pressed his palms together and bowed in greeting. After that, he immediately started to survey his opponent.

A Buddhist cultivator?

In that case, the mythological gene of this man must be that of a buddha-type.

The Buddhist path emphasized the cultivation of one’s heart and mind. They believed that everything would eventually enter the void and that their hearts should be free of all distractions.

The training of their hearts and minds far surpassed other types of cultivators.

It seemed like the Heaven Reaching Pagoda was well prepared when they sent him to this level.

“Benefactor, feel free to attack,” said the monk in a low muffled voice. But somehow, it boomed like thunder, resounding out loud in Feng Lin’s ears.

The zen voice technique of the Buddhist Sect emitted formless waves that could be used to attack the human’s body.

If an ordinary cultivator were to hear this, their qi and blood would churn wildly and they would cough out blood.

Even before the fight started, the monk’s opponents would be weakened by 30%.

But to Feng Lin, this little trick of causing his blood and qi to churn was nothing at all. He swiftly caused the flow of qi and blood in his body to stabilize.

When the monk spoke, the battle had in fact already started.

Since the monk had given him such a greeting, it would be impolite not to return it with another move of equal force.

Feng Lin’s eyes narrowed and a formless spirit wave gushed out. He tracked the mental frequency of the monk and sought to control it.

The monk’s expression changed and instantly performed hand seals in an attempt to block it.

Immovable Zen Heart!

He was in a half-squatting position. His right leg was like a giant pillar standing on the ground, supporting him while his left leg was crossing and resting on his bowed right leg. This stance resembled a lotus seat from some perspective.

Po~

His body emitted a huge amount of golden light, and his will was as imposing as the sun and as strong as jade and stones. It was hard to forcefully make him waver.

Feng Lin’s spirit force was expelled. He felt like the monk was a golden, seamless man. His spirit force had no way to enter the mind of his target.

Monkey King Domain!

Feng Lin’s heart stirred and he changed his move. His spirit force turned corporeal as a vast force gushed out, boring down the monk from all directions.

Invulnerable Vajra Martial Arts!

The monk also changed his stance. He pressed his palms together and stood in the horse stance, becoming as solid as a giant mountain.

Creak, creak…

The pressure bore down on him, yet he forcibly endured through it all.

Wind, fire, lightning, thunder…

Feng Lin’s Heart Monkey Force contained the aspect of countless transformations. He instantly converted the energies.

Wild wind, blazing fire, angry thunder, and rapid lightning—all of them blasted into the body of the monk in rapid succession, yet they were forcefully dissipated upon contact with the golden light.

“Interesting.” Feng Lin finally grew interested when he saw that the monk could withstand his opening salvo.

Vajra Four Punches!

After blocking the first wave of attacks, the monk wasn’t someone who would simply sit there and do nothing. His body sprang into action with the ferocity of a tiger departing the mountains. Vast amounts of golden light radiated from him as he rushed forth.

His punches were like the wind, and overwhelming force cracked the air, emitted from the punches.

Within the golden light, four statues manifested. It was the four great golden vajras of the Buddhist Path.

The monk’s fists were filled with terrifying power. He unleashed four punches in an instant, seemingly at the same time.

Black Tortoise Transformation!

Upon seeing the situation, Feng Lin instantly changed his stance and unleashed the Black Tortoise Transformations of his self-created Five Spirits Ominous Fist Art.

His hands were like two gates, resembling two sluices blocking before his chest, capable of contending against any attacks.

The fists and palms met!

Thunderous booms rang out. Ripples visible to the naked eye manifested, wrecking the surroundings.

Feng Lin’s figure retreated three steps, while the monk had to retreat five steps to regain his balance.

In a brute force contest, the monk actually lost out by a bit.

The monk widened his eyes in surprise. His expression was one of incredulous disbelief.

But at this moment, Feng Lin didn’t care about all these.

The monk was able to block his spirit force attack and could barely be considered a true opponent for Feng Lin after he had fought so many rounds in the Heaven Reaching Pagoda.

Feng Lin was also keen to find out what was the true standard of human cultivators in the universe.

Would the techniques he used against alien races and in the Great Wall University be prevalent against the other human cultivators in the universe?

…

Azure Dragon Transformation of the Five Spirits Ominous Fist Art!

Feng Lin gave a long shout. He rose into the air, resembling an azure dragon rising into the sky as he directly rushed the monk.
