Legend of the Mythological Genes

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

In his subconsciousness, Feng Lin blended with the surroundings, giving zero care even if heaven and earth flipped themselves. He completely lost track of time in this universe.

Among the insignificant things, he saw the vast expanse of the world and the countless shining stars in the sky.

His spirit was completely unfettered, breaking free from the restriction of his mortal coil, bathing in the astral light, standing amidst the starry space.

This was what Feng Lin was currently feeling. With no bindings on his spirit, he floated around the universe carefreely.

The boundless starry sky cascaded down countless rays of light. The stars flickered unceasingly.

Feng Lin’s body was like a black hole; the astral energy rushed into his body like a hundred streams rushing into the ocean.

The astral light in the surroundings was completely absorbed as the area dimmed. There seemed to be some interstellar monster taking a bite out of a beautiful scroll of painting on the boundless starry skies. The picture was no longer perfect as an empty hole could now be seen in it.

But such a strange occurrence in the middle of the night was hard for anyone to notice it.

As a person who was experiencing this for the first time, Feng Lin also didn’t notice this.

He was immersed in this miraculous state of Heavens and Man as one. It seemed that he had become a single entity with the heavens and the universe. His spirit boundlessly expanded. Every single star in the sky seemed to be an extremely far yet majestic life. The beating of his heart seemed to have reached the same frequency as the pulsation of the stars.

The star light became an extension of his consciousness, continuously spreading outward, enveloping the myriad of things in the universe.

Genetic potential +8%, +8%, +8%…..

The astral energy entered his body and was like spring water nourishing him, causing him to feel extremely refreshed.

The astral breathing method was also a type of cultivation. And as for genetic potential, as long as one cultivated, it would definitely increase regardless of the methods used. It was just a matter of how much the genetic potential would be increased by. But it was definite that it would increase.

Astral energy of the space came from the light of many constellations which had spanned countless light years. It would constantly soften, be diluted, be divided, be refined until it was extremely pure. It was no longer as intense as the original rays from a fixed star like the sun.

The light from fixed stars could nourish the myriad of living things. It was the source of energy for all kinds of life.

As astral energy entered the body and circulated unceasingly in one’s meridians, there would be no impurities and it would swiftly transform into genetic potential that could be stored in one’s body.

Being immersed in this miraculous state of Heavens and Man as One, Feng Lin let his spirit fly freely, allowing it to expand unchecked.

The three dark stars in the genetic map inside his body suddenly started to flicker.

With a probe of his will, Feng Lin realized that it was those three genes that made up the Spirit Gene.

This feeling of freedom in his soul seemed extremely clear that it was able to stimulate these genes. The hidden genes instinctively absorbed his genetic potential and gradually started to awaken, but the effect was different for each of them.

The Spirituality Gene in the middle was the slowest. It only increased by a rate of 1% every time. After a long time, only 5% of the awakening process was completed.

As for the Psychokinesis Gene, it increased by a rate of 3% every time and was already at 15%.

And lastly, for the Mental Gene, this was the foundation and the most important attribute for the Spirit Gene. Its rate was the quickest, at 8% every time and it soon reached 40%.

Feng Lin felt joy when he saw this. Using the effort of cultivating a single night, although it didn’t seem likely for the other two genes to awaken, there was still some hope for him to awaken the Mental Gene.

He focused and did his best to absorb more astral energy into his body, wanting to finish awakening the Mental Gene before dawn arrived.

To Feng Lin, for a new gene, the most difficult thing was to take the first step and awaken it.

Only by awakening the gene would he be able to use his free genetic points and strengthen it instantly, enhancing it to a very high number.

His genetic potential continued to increase, +8%, +8%, +8%…..

Also, even with the constant increase in genetic potential, he didn’t forget the fact that awakening these new genes would cause his genetic potential to decrease as well. But no matter what, his genetic potential still reached a total of 528%.

At the same time, the progress bar for awakening the Mental Gene gradually filled up and eventually reached 100%.

His Mental Gene’s strengthening tally changed from 0 to 1; it had finally awakened.

=====

Gene: Mental Gene

Grade: High-grade basic gene

Strengthening Tally: 1

Ability: Double one’s mental strength, allowing one to hypnotize the hearts of others

=====

Immediately, Feng Lin instantly felt different. He stood straight up, and his eyes became immeasurably deep and serene. There appeared to be a spiral in it that could draw away the souls of others if they looked in his eyes.

Swoosh~

A formless fluctuation radiated from the center of Feng Lin’s brows, slowly enveloping his surroundings formlessly.

His mental energy gushed forth from him, melding together with the world. He could clearly sense everything in his surroundings perfectly.

This type of feeling was extremely mystical, far surpassing human’s vision.

Because human’s perspective was a three-dimensional lens; at most, they could only see the three vertical faces of an object.

But mental energy was not the same. It could get rid of the restriction of sight. It was formless, resembling the clouds and mist, permeating space completely and could survey an object from every angle and directions. There would be no perspective left unchecked as one would be able to take in every detail. It was like something similar to God’s perspective.

But such senses couldn’t last a long time. Very swiftly, Feng Lin felt mental fatigue and had no strength to continue. He closed his eyes and retracted his mental energy back in.

After all, his Mental Gene was only at 1 point. There was a limit to its abilities. Feng Lin immediately started to strengthen it. As the strengthening tally of the Mental Gene increased, one’s mental energy would grow stronger and vaster. There were many benefits.

With the intention of his will, his genetic potential instantly dropped by 100%.

A cluster of nebula exploded into pure energy and entered the Mental Gene, causing the strengthening tally of it to turn from 1 to 2. His vitality grew once again by 0.8, reaching 10.9.

Feng Lin didn’t stop. He continued to add his genetic points to it.

Right now, he had 528% worth of genetic potential. In total, he could add a total of three points to the Mental Gene, leaving behind 228% in reserve.

Feng Lin continued adding points. The Mental Gene flickered. There was no stagnation as its strengthening tally instantly climbed up by 2 points. He was still far from reaching this gene’s limit.

This showed the characteristics of a high-grade basic gene. Usually, low-grade genes could only be strengthened twice, and those who could strengthen it thrice would be a genius among geniuses.

As for the Mental Gene, on theory, one would be able to strengthen it 6 times.

Feng Lin didn’t hesitate and continued to add, causing the strengthening tally of the Mental Gene to reach 4. His vitality stats also reached 13.7.

After becoming an interstellar cultivator, an increase in vitality stats would be much more compared to before.

Once one became an interstellar cultivator, they would be completely different from the past.

And this was merely the strengthening process of a basic gene. If he had strengthened his variation-grade primeval Stone Monkey Gene, how much would his vitality stat have increased by?

Feng Lin didn’t have any experience and couldn’t make an accurate judgment.

His lips curled up into a smile as he silently admonished himself for making a big fuss over nothing. It seemed like in the future, he had to quickly adjust to the increase in his vitality stat.

Feng Lin once again sent out his mental energy, and he instantly felt something different.

After the Mental Gene was strengthened to 4, his perception of the world felt different. First, his perspective boundary had expanded. Earlier, when he had sent out his mental energy, it could only cover an area about 10 meters around him. But now, the scope had reached up to 40 meters.

Also, the precision increased many folds, even something about a centimeter large wouldn’t be able to escape his notice.

The gigantic mountain range, the rolling stones and rocks, the clouds of dust blown about by the wind, the sand particles in the air—everything couldn’t escape his notice.

If one was talking about the past and about his normal vision, now it would be like having a magnifying glass and telescope placed before his eyes, capable of peering through a distance of 1,000 miles, as well as the finer details of everything.

Feng Lin immersed himself in the sensation of using God’s Perspective. But all of a sudden, he felt like something was wrong. With a scan of his mental energy, he discovered that in the distance, there was a dark patch on a mountain where the starlight couldn’t illuminate.

On the cliff wall, a black-colored silhouette was slowly slithering towards him, resembling a snake, making no sounds and emitting no aura at all. It was incomparably bizarre.
