0, 1, 2, 3 … Genetic numbers were arranged in sequence. Tier-0 was basic gene, tier-1 was primeval gene, and tier-2 was transcendent gene.
Awakening tier-2 genes meant that one had stepped onto the path of transcendent genes.
What was transcendent?
Strength and lifespan that surpassed mortals!
Elite cultivators were transcendent lifeforms. Their cells were energized and had the characteristics of matter and energy.
The cells of mortals could only divide over 50 times in their lifetime, and their theoretical lifespan was about 100 years. However, transcendent cells broke through the limits of mortals and could divide over 150 times. The theoretical lifespan of transcendent humans could reach 300 years.
Dual cultivation of life and death was the true path of cultivation.
A true transcendent wasn't as simple as strength. Lifespan was the foundation.
One had the power to destroy planets, but their lifespan was like a mayfly. They were born in the morning and died in the evening. In the end, it was just an illusion.
Taking this step, Feng Lin only felt that the world was different from now on.
Every single one of his cells was emitting an extraordinary radiance that was dazzling to the eyes, bursting forth with vigorous and powerful vitality.
Feng Lin was walking on the Sun Wukong Mythological Path. Each tier had a corresponding gene. Tier-0 Monkey Gene, Tier-1 Stone Monkey Gene, Tier-2 Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene. In that case, what would the next tier 3 gene be?
He sank into contemplation.
The derivation of a mythological path required one to use myths and legends as clues, researching the growth of mythological characters and making deductions step by step.
Myths and legends guided one's cultivation path, but derivation required genetic potential. If he could figure out the next path, the more information he knew, the easier it would be for him to make deductions. The consumption of genetic potential would also be lesser.
Genetic potential was extremely precious. It was something he accumulated bit by bit through hard work every day. He mustn't waste it. Every bit he could save was every bit.
Feng Lin started to explore the next path of genetic evolution.
If there was no one to guide them, it would be very difficult for ordinary cultivators to know how they should proceed.
But to Feng Lin, this wasn't considered much.
The path of genetic cultivation was the mythological path.
In this vast Interstellar Era, who would be able to compare to Feng Lin in terms of understanding of the myths and legends of Ancient Earth's civilizations?
Feng Lin wasn't being arrogant. He just didn't want to pass on this responsibility and had absolute confidence.
Using myths and legends as a guide, and then using genetic equations to deduce the possibilities and realize them, the two complemented each other. This made Feng Lin believe that he was walking on a boundlessly bright path.
After the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene, what would be the next gene on the Sun Wukong Mythological Path?
Every legend was a path to godhood!
Upon thinking of this, a smile of understanding flashed in Feng Lin's eyes. The legend of Sun Wukong was recorded very clearly. Although the monkey's eyes shone with golden light the moment he was born and he bowed to the four directions, causing a phenomenon to appear, Sun Wukong's eyes were filled with golden light.
But when it was young, it was also incomparably young and was bullied by hundreds of beasts. It grew up step by step until it led the monkeys through the waterfall and entered the Water Curtain Cave. Only then did it subdue all the monkeys on the Flowerfruit Mountain. It proclaimed itself as the 'Monkey King' and became the hegemon of the Flowerfruit Mountain!
Before the Spiritual Stone Monkey acknowledged Patriarch Subhuti as his master and received the name Sun Wukong, he was just a nameless macaque.
In that case, the tier-3 gene after the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene was definitely not the Sun Wukong Gene but the Monkey King Gene!
Feng Lin's eyes flashed with a bright light.
This was very likely. Many details in the myth also proved this point.
Feng Lin no longer hesitated. He assumed that the level-3 gene for Sun Wukong's path was the Monkey King Gene and continued to use the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene as the parameters he already knew.
In his genetic map, the nebula energy in his dantian immediately moved.
As expected, there was a chance!
Feng Lin was overjoyed. The reduction in genetic potential meant that the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene was indeed the evolutionary gene of the Stone Monkey Gene.
Genetic energy -112%, -112%, -112% …
As the gene's level increased, the genetic equation's deduction consumed more and more genetic potential. Very soon, it was reduced by 1,120%.
Feng Lin felt a little overwhelmed. As 23 nebulas were destroyed, after his genetic potential was reduced by 2,353%, a clear gene combination pathway appeared before his eyes.
Just like before, the Sun Wukong Mythological Path was a paragon mythological path. It was unique, and there was only one genetic formula for each tier.
Feng Lin looked over in surprise, but his expression immediately turned strange.
Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene x10 + Beast King Gene x10 = Monkey King Gene???
…
This formula seemed familiar. Ten represented the perfection of the great dao!
When the genetic formula's parameters were strengthened to 10 points, it would contain some kind of law of the heavens and earth, producing a transformation that would transform something rotten into something magical.
Only the Stone Monkey Gene became the higher-grade Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene, and the Spirit Gene became the Beast King Gene.
The monkey was one of the walking beasts of the world.
It was a monkey king and also a beast king.
The Monkey King Gene needed the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene as the main parameter and the Beast King Gene as the supplementary parameter.
Feng Lin silently nodded. Right now, the Monkey King Gene's position in the genetic map had already been locked. It was still a dark star that hadn't awakened yet.
He couldn't help but feel anticipation. What abilities did the Monkey King Gene have?
His will probed over and very soon, a blurry message flowed out.
Monkey King Gene: Monkey King of the Flowerfruit Mountain. Temperament cultivation, Great Dao birth.
These two sentences seemed simple, but they were cryptic. Feng Lin felt strange, not understanding the true meaning behind them. This was especially so for the last sentence.
Temperament cultivation?
Great Dao birth?
…
How to cultivate one's temperament? What effects would there be? What Great Dao would be born? …
Everything was a question mark. He couldn't figure it out or guess it.
Feng Lin thought hard but to no avail. These were all question marks.
He couldn't think of anything for now. Only when he reached the corresponding realm would he be able to comprehend it. It was useless to think too much about it now.
The future path was already extremely clear. Even if the path ahead was shrouded in mist, he would just have to continue walking down. He wouldn't get lost because of this.
Feng Lin started to add points to the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene. He added a free basic genetic point but discovered that it didn't change at all. There was no change to the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene except for a 100% strengthening column.
Understanding flashed in his eyes as he added another free primeval genetic point. The strengthening column once again showed 1100%. There was still no change to the strengthening column.
Feng Lin wasn't too surprised. He had long guessed the truth.
Every time the gene's grade increased by a major level, the genetic potential required for the strengthening would increase by ten times.
Basic genes required 100% genetic potential, primeval genes required 1,000% genetic potential, and Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene was a transcendent gene. One could very well imagine how much genetic potential it required.
Right now, Feng Lin only had 1128% genetic potential. It was completely insufficient.
He could forget about strengthening the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene!
Feng Lin bitterly smiled as a sense of urgency rose in his heart.
Every time he broke through a major realm, the requirement for genetic potential would increase by more than ten times. Cultivation couldn't be delayed at all.
