=======
Every point gained from the consecutive days of battling and tough cultivation turned into resources for his improvement.
Both the Monkey King Gene and the Daoheart Gene had been maxed out a long time ago, fulfilling the conditions for evolution.
However, for a genetic formula to evolve into a gene of a higher grade, it would still require a catalyst. This would need one to comprehend the intrinsic level of the genes.
Previously, Feng Lin had been stuck at this stage and couldn’t attain a breakthrough even after very long.
However, there was nothing to think about now.
Before its death, the mother of the spirit race had retaliated by turning into a disaster of the universe, altering the universe’s regulations, turning all living creatures into spirits.
Even the three Marshals were unable to deal with it.
His only chance of survival was to attain a breakthrough.
Situated in outer space, the surroundings were a scene of the end of the world.
Feng Lin was in this situation, but his mind was calm and he gradually entered a calm state without any ripples.
The starry sky was brilliant with countless stars flashing. This was the world of mythological genes, and the brightest golden stars had already gathered to form a brilliant river of stars. It was like a path in the starry sky that led to the shores on the other end.
Monkey King Gene x10 + Daoheart Gene x10 = Sun Wukong Gene.
The Sun Wukong Gene, true to its name, was the most crucial realm on the Sun Wukong Mythological Path. After reaching this step, it would be a whole new world, being able to obtain the essence of Sun Wukong’s abilities.
Amidst this danger, Feng Lin had no other choice but to attain a breakthrough.
If he didn’t, what awaited him would be death!
After calming down his mental realm, Feng Lin adjusted his breathing and brought his body and mind to the optimum state, starting to mobilize the powers of the genetic map.
Two massive golden stars shone brightly like inextinguishable ancient stars that hung up in the starry sky.
Each of the golden stars extended out to become several tributaries like tree branches, each having their own evolutionary paths and profoundness.
The Monkey King Domain, the indestructible Daoheart…
As usual, he used his mind to control the two totally different genetic powers and integrated them together.
Two stars flickered slightly and a stretch of starlight that was like spring water gushed out from the golden stars, slowly gathering together at one spot.
However, the strange thing was that things were different like how they had blended harmoniously previously. Right now, Feng Lin felt that the two waves of genetic powers had a rugged feeling, having a clear distinction from each other and was difficult to be integrated together.
As usual, no matter how he tried, he was still unable to break through his barrier.
However, this time around, Feng Lin didn’t give up.
If he did, what awaited him would be death!
Compared to his precious life, what was a mere hurdle?
The two genes had already been maxed out and the prerequisite conditions had been achieved. What was it that was stopping him to obtain further progress?
Feng Lin went into deep thought.
The profoundness of mythological genes must be searched through the mythological genes.
He carefully thought back on the path he had come thus far on!
What was Sun Wukong?
Sun had the meaning of macaque and Wukong referred to comprehending emptiness!
(Heart?)
(That’s right! It was one’s mind!)
Spirit Platform Fangcun Mountain, Slanted Moon Three Stars Cave!
These two ancient lines referred to one’s mind.
Sun Wukong was born a Heart Monkey, but previously, he could only be referred to as an unknown stone monkey. He was the Monkey King but he wasn’t Wukong!
It was only until it had entered the Fangcun Mountain and been given a name by the Patriarch Subhuti that it had achieved success in his cultivation!
(That’s right!)
(How could I forget about this?)
Feng Lin was suddenly struck with comprehension. He had traveled together with the stone monkey in the mythology illusion-scape and had observed the journey in which it had tempered its heart!
This was the Mythology Deduction Method—comprehending the essence of the genes.
However, there was another step to take. That was the Mythology Induction Method.
To induce the essence of the experience in the myths and legends, to merge into one with the mythological genes.
Feng Lin’s thoughts became increasingly clear.
What was the essence behind the Sun Wukong Mythological Path?
There was nothing else but one thing!
That was…
The heart!
Tempering himself in the secular world, the Heart Monkey’s mind was as stable as the mountains. After taking on Subhuti as his master, this was how the Heart Monkey attained his dao!
What dao did it attain?
The Heart Monkey had been a spiritual creature nurtured by the heavens and earth. It broke from the tough stone and was born with a viciousness that was hard to eradicate.
This was the source of the great power it was born with.
However, great talent tended to be a huge restriction as well.
The viciousness made it hard for the Heart Monkey’s character to settle down, and it was unable to cultivate naturally without the teachings of a teacher.
Only the tempering of a Daoheart could allow it to take on the path leading to it becoming a celestial.
(So that was it!)
Feng Lin opened his eyes, releasing a brilliant gleam.
Achieving comprehension at one go, comprehending endless clarity, recognizing oneself.
The Heart Monkey’s Daoheart went through great tempering.
(Today I find out that I am me!)
All perplexities had dissipated!
He felt that he had found the path to the awakening of the Sun Wukong Gene.
Feng Lin’s mind sank into the greatest depths of the Monkey King Gene, and a rampant ruthless aura was awakened, filled with ferocity—not allowing the heavens to cover his eyes; not letting the earth bury his heart. Once it permeated out, it was as if it was going to annihilate the entire world.
However, this time around, Feng Lin didn’t allow this ruthless aura to run amok.
Although it was powerful, it could also cause one to lose their true intentions.
Feng Lin circulated his Daoheart Gene and a pure, agile energy that had a uniform nature flowed out, sinking into that ruthless aura.
The ruthless aura seethed like surging waves, destroying everything.
The Daoheart was sturdy, being a cornerstone that didn’t budge. In the end, it changed from taking the passive stand to taking the active stand, subduing the ruthless aura.
Subduing the Heart Monkey, finding out that I am me!
Feng Lin’s heart was clear and at peace, without any traces of the ruthless aura. He felt as if he had broken away from all restraints and had gained access to the origin source, becoming free and without any restrictions. His heart was filled with freedom and exhilaration…
Monkey King Gene x10 + Daoheart Gene x10 = Sun Wukong Gene.
Feng Lin’s will became extremely powerful and the genetic map turned extremely clear before his eyes.
Two massive golden stars shone brightly like imperishable ancient stars that hung up in the starry sky, being extremely brilliant and eradicating the darkness.
Feng Lin used his will to control the two genetic powers to integrate them together. The two stars flickered slightly and a stretch of starlight gushed out like spring water from the golden stars. They gathered together at one spot, blending together harmoniously. There was me in you, you in me, with no distinctions between the two.
The great river and streams gathered and the two starry rivers turned into a huge surging river. It was like a river leading into the ocean, extending out toward the depths of the sea of stars, heading toward a huge dark star.
The dark star was hidden in the depths of the starry, having been silent for very long and waiting to be awakened.
The starlight entered it like a myriad of birds returning to the forest or like the currents that flowed into the Pacific Ocean, channeling endless energy into the dark star.
Dong dong dong!
It thumped like a powerful heart, causing the starry sky to tremble and releasing explosive sounds like that of thunder.
That dark silver star shimmered and gradually revealed its true form from its concealed state, turning into a sun that sent endless light and heat scattering down. It lit up the entire dark starry sky that was everlasting.
A strange message flowed out.
Gene: Sun Wukong Gene
Grade: Perfect-grade Houtian Gene
Strengthening Tally: 1
Ability: The grand-grade heavenly immortal art verifies his dao fruit, proficient in the seventy-two transformations.
Perfect-grade Houtian Gene!
The genes from before were all of the perfect-grade; thus, the product of their mergers and evolution would also produce perfect-grade genes.
An unknown power gushed through his entire body, being extremely pure yet vague and insubstantial like the clouds and fog, as if it encompassed endless changes.
Before he could sense this wave of power in detail, the newly awakened gene shone brightly like golden starlight drowning the entire starry sky.
Feng Lin couldn’t react in time and his will sank deep within it. A pair of eyes that seemed to see through everything and contained the great vicissitudes of the universe looked at himself, through the stone monkey, and to the depths of his heart.
In that instant, Feng Lin even had the feeling that this gaze traversed millions and millions of years, staring straight at him and a peal of soft laughter rang out next to his ears.
“Since you’re a macaque, this is a good fit! From today onwards, you’ll be called ‘Sun Wukong’!”
