In ancient times, there were many civilizations and races, and there were countless mythological characters. Huaxia Civilization, Babylon Civilization, Egypt Civilization …
However, as the only one among the four civilizations that had survived, the Huaxia Civilization was different from the other civilizations where the gods were innately divine.
The myths and legends of the Huaxia Civilization were the most unique.
In the Huaxia language, gods, immortals, and buddhas all had the word "human" in them. The mythological characters didn't appear out of thin air. They were all evolved from humans.
Gods, saints, immortals, buddhas, did they all have the guts?
Perhaps it was precisely this spirit of striving for self-improvement that allowed the Huaxia civilization to continue from the Ancient Era to the Interstellar Era.
And in the Huaxia Civilization, there was only one way for mortals to become divine. That was cultivation!
It was said that in ancient times, the air was filled with transcendent particles like spirit particles. They were as dense as air, and anyone with a bit of talent would be able to sense them.
Ancient cultivators called it the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. Through breathing, they could absorb the spiritual qi into their bodies and temper themselves, transcending mortality and entering divinity.
They also separated cultivation into four steps. From the lowest to the highest, they were 'transforming energy into qi', 'transforming energy into spirit', 'transforming spirit into void', and 'transforming void into dao'.
The methods and effects of each step were different.
Transforming energy into qi was the first step of cultivation. It could refine the blood essence of the human body as nutrients, allowing one to evolve continuously.
After Feng Lin transformed into a stone monkey, it was as though he was self-taught and naturally comprehended this method.
This lone island was a land of immortals. Every blade of grass and every tree was filled with spirit particles, filled with spiritual qi and shocking energy.
Earlier, Feng Lin had eaten too many spirit peaches in one go. There was too much energy in his stomach. If it wasn't for the fact that he had comprehended the 'transforming energy into qi' method, he would have exploded.
This seemed to be a type of memory that was hidden in his instincts. No one taught it to him, but once he encountered a suitable opportunity, he would naturally recall it.
Just one round of 'transforming energy into qi' cultivation caused Feng Lin to feel a world-shaking change in his body.
Feng Lin's body suddenly grew ten years older. From a newborn little monkey, he had grown into a mature monkey. His bones were strong and sturdy, and he was no longer as skinny as he was before.
He couldn't help but speculate.
Transforming energy into qi was a method to rapidly digest the nutrients in the body. If he used it on his body, wouldn't he be able to rapidly digest genetic potions and convert them into genetic potential?
If that was the case, the growth rate of his genetic potential would definitely be greatly increased.
Feng Lin felt a wave of excitement in his heart, but his expression soon dimmed.
Now was not the time to think so far ahead. The most important thing now was to figure out his situation and find a way out!
Nothing else mattered.
No matter how great the benefits he obtained here were, if he couldn't get out, it would be useless!
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Feng Lin strolled around the island, wanting to find a way to return to his original body.
This island was huge. If one wanted to walk along the coastline, it seemed like there was no end to it.
Feng Lin stared into the distance from the peak and saw the coastline. Only then did he know that he was on an isolated island with no signs of human habitation.
I've become a stone monkey?
Could this really be Mount Huaguo?
…
Harboring such doubts, Feng Lin continued to explore. The sun rose and set. In the blink of an eye, over ten days had passed.
Luckily, there were immortal herbs and fruit trees everywhere on this island. Feng Lin's body was also covered in thick golden fur, and he didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Every day, he would stroll around the island without any shame.
After eating the immortal fruits with dense spiritual qi, Feng Lin transformed energy into qi, and his body grew stronger rapidly. He became a giant ape that was 1.9 meters tall. Among monkeys, he could already be considered a giant existence.
But so what if he became the king of monkeys …
He was still a monkey!
This was truly a story filled with sorrow …
This island that seemed to be the Mount Huaguo was isolated in the sea, and it had already formed a complete food chain.
During these days, Feng Lin had seen many ferocious beasts. However, he wasn't someone to be trifled with. The sharp fangs of these wild beasts were completely useless before the sturdy body of the stone monkey.
Feng Lin was proficient in martial arts. When he executed his moves, they were filled with great force, causing them to scurry away like rats, wanting nothing more than to flee as far as possible. They no longer dared to provoke this' two-legged beast 'that could walk on two legs.
Even if there was a tiger in the mountain, the monkey would still claim to be the king!
Not only these, Feng Lin also saw many sika deer, peacocks, green oxen, and other rare beasts. However, most of them were his' kind '.
In the peach forest, in the mountain stream, many nimble apes kept on jumping around, squeaking non-stop.
When they saw Feng Lin, who was one of their kind, appearing, all of them cast curious gazes over. There were even a few stronger monkeys who kept on waving their claws, making threatening and ferocious expressions, wanting to chase away this strange fellow of their kind.
"I'm not interested in your female monkeys!" Feng Lin was speechless when he saw the male monkeys blocking the naked female monkeys behind them with wariness on their faces.
He didn't want to have anything to do with these monkeys. He quickly turned and left.
The male monkeys behind him instantly let out loud squeaks of laughter, feeling proud that they had chased away this powerful 'kind' of monkey.
Who else?
Who dares to snatch female monkeys from this monkey?
…
The monkeys laughed sinisterly. Feng Lin's footsteps paused, and he increased his speed. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the vision of the monkeys.
The island was simply too big. After all these days, he hadn't even explored one-tenth of the island.
Unknowingly, the sky turned dark. The starry sky hung upside down, incomparably resplendent.
Feng Lin sat on a rock in a daze, propping up his chin with one hand as he silently stared at the starry sky above him. He silently sighed.
From afar, the sounds of monkeys crying and wolves howling could be heard.
It had been so long, but he still couldn't understand.
Wasn't the gene evolution just to break through to become an interstellar cultivator?
Why did he suddenly become a monkey?
Wasn't this too exaggerated?
…
Today was a rare night with a full moon. The moon was as big as a plate, emitting a myriad of silvery light.
Feng Lin was in a daze as he stared at the moon above his head. However, he didn't notice that the moonlight was getting bigger and bigger in his vision. It was as though it was getting closer and closer, drawing his mind in.
When the moonlight shone on his body, it was like a cool breeze caressing his face. It was extremely comfortable.
As he breathed, moonlight gathered from all directions, transforming into many silver threads that entered his body, cleansing it from the inside out. His pores opened up.
Oh —!!!
An impulse surged from the depths of his heart.
Feng Lin couldn't control this instinct. He involuntarily arched his back and howled.
A long and resounding howl rang out, echoing through the vast world.
The moonlight in the surroundings was instantly attracted over, seeping into Feng Lin's body through his pores and acupoints, transforming into ice-cold energy that flowed through his eight extraordinary meridians.
His mind grew clearer and clearer as his thoughts became more active. It was as though his innate wisdom had been awakened.
His soul floated away, leaving his body. Under the moonlight, it was clear and pure, shining like colored glass.
A strange memory surfaced in his mind.
Sun and moon essence!
Legend had it that in ancient times, birds and beasts could absorb the essence of the sun and moon to temper themselves, awakening their intelligence, breaking away from their original forms and transforming into demons.
The so-called sun and moon essence had long since been uncovered by science and technology.
Although he was absorbing moonlight now, moonlight wasn't the reflection of sunlight from other planets.
The essence of sunlight was the light of a star, a type of energy in the universe.
There were many types of energy in the universe. There were nuclear energy, zero-point energy, bio-energy … They were also divided into different grades.
The essence of the sun and moon was astral energy, a type of high-grade energy.
The so-called absorption of the sun and moon essence was merely a breathing technique that allowed one to absorb astral energy to increase their intelligence and temper their soul.
However, such a cultivation technique was extremely rare. It was only heard that it existed, but very few people knew of it.
At this moment, the astral breathing technique and meridian circulation diagram appeared in Feng Lin's mind.
After obtaining this cultivation technique that could absorb the essence of the sun and moon, not only was Feng Lin unhappy, but he also felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
Ever since he transformed into a stone monkey, too many strange things had happened to him, completely out of his control. It was as though there was an ancient specter hidden in his body that would occasionally appear to disturb him.
Feng Lin felt that he was becoming more and more like a monkey. His rationality started to yield to the innate instincts of a monkey, gradually assimilating.
