A Clear Heart, Seeing One’s Nature, Comprehending The Emptiness!

The path of the heart monkey meant ‘comprehending the emptiness’ (Wukong)!

Breaking through all illusions!

No fear in one’s heart. The vaster one’s heart was, the greater would their power be!

Feng Lin was using the hereditary memories to trace back the original path of Sun Wukong and clear the confusion in his heart. As a result, he had awakened the primordial instinct that existed in the genes. There was no more fog before his eyes.

The Beast King Gene was fully awakened, with the respective basic genes that made up of it strengthened to their max.

The dark stars in his body’s genetic map started to light up, connecting with each other and becoming a gigantic constellation that was extremely vast and incomparably bright.

At this time, it was like a certain condition had been met. From the golden constellation, streams of starlight radiated and fused with each other before breaking apart, becoming three parallel lines that extended endlessly toward the depths of the starry space.

Bathump, Bathump, Bathump…

A powerful heart pounded with strength and vigor.

In the depth of darkness, the sound of these heartbeats broke apart the silence.

After that, as more astral energy was infused, three large stars started to light up.

The genetic tree started to sprout three more branches, and the clear paths of evolution were laid out. They didn’t intersect with each other, but their sources were bound together.

Bloodthirst Gene x10 + Beast Heart Gene x7 = Bestial Gene

Strength Gene x9 + Savage Gene x8 = Violence Gene

Pressure Gene x8 + Prestige Gene x6 = Coercion Gene

Genetic potential +1.8, +1.8, +1.8…

His genetic potential surged up with unprecedented speed. It was no longer measured in percentage like the past but became genuine genetic points.

His heart and mind were ‘freed’, no more fog obscured his eyes. His potential explosively surged!

The genetic points were automatically added to the three newly awakened primeval genes.

Bestial Gene +1, +1, +1…

Violence Gene +1, +1, +1…

Coercion Gene +1, +1, +1…

The strengthening tallies of these genes surged rapidly along with his vitality stat. The ‘energy-evolution’ of his body increased in speed as well…

Vitality stat 530, 541, 553, 567… It soon broke through 600 and continued to rise upward.

Energy-evolution index: 9.6%, 9.7%, 9.8% and it soon reached 10%. His body transformed qualitatively from the inside to outside.

……

A breakthrough in his heart, spirit, and mind—he comprehended the dao in a single day!

From the mythological memories, Feng Lin comprehended the emptiness and his heart was clear. His life transformed intrinsically. The satisfaction of breaking through at such great speed caused one to feel incomparably delightful.

Feng Lin’s life information changed.

Genetic Potential: 9.1

=====

After comprehending the dao in a single day, his vitality stat shot up into the sky.

Three kinds of primeval genes and five kinds of basic genes were awakened in one-go as an overwhelming transformation took place in his body.

On the surface, there only seemed to be an increase of 158 points to his vitality stat. However, these simple-looking data contained an extraordinary life transformation behind them.

Feng Lin opened his eyes. His stature changed and the energy within his body radiated out in waves. He wasn’t able to suppress them any longer. The fluctuations caused the space to twist and manifest ripples visible to the naked eyes.

For a while, the location he was standing at became the center of this energy storm.

Feng Lin silently stared at his palms and then activated his inner vision. He could sense that the energy within his body was surging forth like spring water, flowing endlessly and inundating every cell, every droplet of blood, every organ…every inch of his body was flooded by that power.

A strange thought arose in his heart. His breathing seemed to have become one with heaven and earth. He felt that he could easily control the energy of heaven and earth.

Absorb!

Feng Lin instinctively took a deep breath.

Wu, wu, wu~

A swooshing sound rang out and the light along with the air condensed into a circular swirling rainbow.

It was extremely beautiful and incomparably wondrous.

Feng Lin was shocked. The transformation to his body was simply too great. Even he himself didn’t dare to believe it.

The path of elite cultivators was the path of ‘energy-evolution’ and to constantly sublimate the essence of his life.

As his ‘energy-evolution’ index broke past 10%, he felt that he had passed an extremely important demarcation line. The cells in his body existed in both reality and ethereal dimensions, and had the dual properties of energy and substance. This felt extremely mystical.

This Starry Space Golden Pyramid was filled with the spiritual qi of heavens and earth.

Earlier when he had taken a single breath, spiritual qi like the cleanest spring water had instantly flooded his body. His body had rapidly transformed the spiritual qi into genetic potential and stored it. If not, given his original amount of genetic potential, it was impossible to enhance all those basic genes he had just awakened to the max.

The myths were actually true!

Ancient legends said that cultivators back then could have completely lived without needing to consume food or water. They could have survived just by breathing, directly connecting to the energy of heavens and earth and using the spiritual qi to replace the nutrients that their bodies needed. This process was named ‘Inedia’.

This was a very advanced energy-replenishing method compared to eating food.

In the universe, in the records of civilizations of the various races, eating food to replenish energy was considered the worst method. It was already very efficient if the energy-conversion rate could hit 30%.

But for Inedia, the body could directly convert the devoured energy into the purest life energy. The conversation rate was at least 80% and above, and it could perfectly remove the impurities that food contained.

Energy Devourment was a survival method used by high-grade lifeforms. Eating food was simply to please their palate. They could do with or without it.

Feng Lin felt that this was very interesting. He could devour the spiritual qi in the air to replace a part of his biological needs.

This was just a minor step in the entire path of evolution, yet it allowed his life function to advance greatly.

As ‘energy-evolution’ continued to progress and reach 20%…30%…, he would one day be able to master Inedia completely, which would allow him to abstain from food forever.

From what Feng Lin knew, if his cultivation base broke through to the grand cultivator realm, his lifespan would increase once more, from 200 years to 300 years.

Being able to live a long life was the greatest benefit of cultivation.

This was also the main reason why countless people in the universe took cultivation so seriously.

Upon sensing the changes to his body, Feng Lin was very glad that he had chosen to set foot on this majestic pathway containing countless possibilities.

=====

=====

=====

A total of three high-grade primeval genes were awakened in one go. Feng Lin calmed his heart down and sensed the nature of the three genes.

After the Bloodthirst Gene had changed to the Bestial Gene, its power was greatly enhanced. He was now able to swallow the flesh and blood of any biological creatures to rapidly replenish the expenditure of his own nutrients, using battles to nurture battles. At the same time, it also had the ability of the Beast Heart Gene, which allowed one to enter the state of beastification in combat. It was an extremely effective auxiliary ability.

For the Violence Gene, it was purely a combat gene. It would concentrate one’s strength within one’s body, allowing one to manifest fluctuations akin to shockwaves that could affect the outside world.

The Coercion Gene was a unique and invisible oppression force. It would turn formless pressure into something corporeal, causing enemies to cower even before they started fighting.

Ho!

Feng Lin suddenly stood up, using his newly awakened abilities.

BOOM!

With a punch, it was like the tides had merged together. Fist shadows flashed everywhere, forming a transparent giant fist made from air particles. The impact caused rumblings to echo ceaselessly when it blasted against a metal wall.

Next, with a single stare, the space started to twist as an invisible pressure gushed out from him.

The air seemed to solidify, capable of causing people to feel stifled.

Feng Lin nodded and retracted his genetic powers.

These were merely the tip of the iceberg.

One couldn’t help but say that these abilities made him very pleased. As for their exact level of power, he would experience them only through real combat.

After that, Feng Lin didn’t rest. He sat cross-legged and continued to breathe in the valuable spiritual qi from heavens and earth.

The spiritual qi gathered over swiftly like clouds and mist, enveloping him. He was like an immortal within the clouds.

Ding Ding Ding.

He was immersed in his cultivation until the sound of ringing woke him up.

When he looked at the date, he had actually spent a total of three days in cultivation. After opening the door, the Greek sisters walked in together; their auras had also transformed.

Aris’s transformation was still considered average. After using the transcendent holy water, her vitality had broken through the 400 mark. Her aura was naturally strengthened but there wasn’t any qualitative evolution.

But as for her elder sister Yana, her transformation was almost unbelievable.

Her weak and fragile body had grown much healthier and stronger. A heroic aura that had not been present before now exuded from her. Her eyes flashed with golden light, and she now resembled an incarnation of a goddess that couldn’t be profaned by mortals.

She had clearly entered the elite cultivator realm. Moreover, her vitality stat had increased greatly, almost nearing 200.

As expected of someone on Athena Mythological Path. Every time she broke through a major realm, her improvements would be extremely great, far surpassing other common mythological paths.

“Congratulations on becoming an elite cultivator!” Feng Lin smiled.

“As expected, I can’t hide this from you.” Yana smiled lightly. As her cultivation base increased, her essence, spirit, and qi seemed to be completely refreshed. Her features grew even more beautiful. There was no longer an air of fragility to her; instead, it was replaced by an air of heroism. Her eyes shone with the light of wisdom.

Upon seeing this scene, Feng Lin nodded silently.

(This must be the real appearance of someone walking on Athena Mythological Path.)

Before this, Yana had taken a wrong corner, but after his guidance, she had found her way back.

One couldn’t help but say that Yana’s breakthrough would truly benefit their alliance, allowing their probability of succeeding to increase.

After the three of them exchanged some greetings, they started once again to look into the information of other exam candidates, hoping to find suitable people to join their team.

The info on countless exam candidates was refreshed. There were all sorts of people. There were ninjas from Japan, monks from India, knights from the west, etc…

The origins of these exam candidates were all different, but from their dressings, they could more or less tell their origins.

While searching for suitable candidates, Yana also instantly sent out the recruitment email she drafted.

But without exception, all the emails she had sent seemed to sink into the sea. There were no proper replies.

Indeed, there were occasional replies, but most of them were mocking ones.

Aris’s expression grew increasingly unsightly, and Yana’s eyes also glinted with anger.

Feng Lin frowned, understanding that most probably these methods were useless.

Everything was about profits.

If you wanted people to join your team, how would they agree if they couldn’t see any benefits?

Because the three of them were from the solar system, they were despised by everyone else in the universe even before they could say anything. Everyone felt that they were destined to fail the exam.

Although they felt helpless, this was the reality.

The universe was simply too vast. Feng Lin was very clear that although the three of them could be considered peak geniuses in the solar system, in the perspective of the entire universe, they were nothing but nameless individuals.

Only by paying a price would they be able to successfully recruit those geniuses from the other parts of the universe.

But what valuable items did they have that could move the hearts of others?

Feng Lin contemplated deeply but other than his mythology knowledge, he had no other valuable things.

From the start until now, he was very clear on what his greatest advantage was.

In this era where fragmented myths were everywhere, knowledge was priceless. Knowledge was the one thing no one could reject.

Staring at the Greek sisters sending out the useless recruitment emails, Feng Lin suddenly spoke, “Yana, add a condition when you send out the emails. They have to be of chinese descent.”

He intentionally emphasized the words ‘chinese’.

“Mhm?” Yana felt puzzled, “Why did you add this condition?”

“Just do as I requested. Trust me.” Feng Lin smiled but didn’t explain further. This concerned his own secrets. No matter how close their relationship was, he wouldn’t divulge anything.

“If our luck is good, we will be able to find two comrades for our team today.” There was a hint of confidence in his tone.

Those who could enter the elite cultivator realm would all have their own secrets.

Since Feng Lin didn’t elaborate, Yana naturally didn’t probe further. After interacting for so long, she was clear that Feng Lin wasn’t someone who spoke randomly. She decided to listen to him.

After adding the new condition, the search results after the screening were vastly different. Without exception, the ones left behind were people of yellow skin and black hair.

Feng Lin’s eyes flashed as he rapidly read through the information. His gaze was already locked onto two of the listed candidates.

—————–

Name: Yi

Age: 18

Background: Huaxia Star Republic, Great Shaman Planet

Cultivation: Elite cultivator realm

Vitality stat: 627

—————–

Name: Su Li

Age: 16

Background: Huaxia Star Republic, Green Hill Planet

Cultivation: Elite cultivator realm

Vitality: 521

—————–

Great Shaman Planet? Green Hill Planet?

The names of these planets couldn’t help but make Feng Lin join up the dots. After that, his heart stirred as he spoke, “Yana, bring out the battle records of these two, please.”

Sensing that he had made some discoveries, Yana instantly acted.

A moment later, two pages of information were projected out.

On the holographic screen on the left, a half-naked body could be seen. A cold-looking young man with bronze-colored skin had a bone bow in his hands and was shooting arrows.

The arrows were quick and silent. They penetrated through space, leaving behind silvery arcs that were exceptionally beautiful.

Those who had gotten hit by the arrows all died from their bodies disintegrating from within. The force behind each arrow was terrifying to the extreme.

On the holographic screen on the right, a skinny young man with a fox mask could be seen. Behind him, black-colored auras in the form of three demonic tails could be seen. Black flames gushed forth from him, exuding an inauspicious aura.

These flames caused Feng Lin’s eyes to blaze. This was demonfire!

A faint smile appeared on his face.

“Shamans and demons? Interesting!”
