5 Strengthening and Increasing Points (1/2)

Stone Monkey Gene!

To think that it was the Stone Monkey Gene!

To Feng Lin, this wasn't a pleasant surprise, but a great shock.

The genetic equation depleted a large amount of genetic potential only to derive with this one formula. This meant that the Stone Monkey Gene was the only evolutionary gene from the Monkey Gene and Stonebirth Gene.

Stone Monkey Gene: The stone monkey has no parents and is brought up by the heavens and earth. It has a body of stone and bones that were as tough as steel. It also has extraordinary strength...

With the new Stone Monkey Gene lit up, information about it also started to appear.

Feng Lin got to know about this Stone Monkey Gene's abilities.

After the Stone Monkey Gene had been awakened, not only would the cultivator possess an ape's agility and strength, but he or she would also have an indestructible body that was tough as steel, reaching a level where one would be impervious to weapons.

The Stone Monkey Gene caused a lot of thoughts to run through his mind.

In the myths and legends of ancient Huaxia on Earth in the past, that monkey was very well-known. All people of Huaxia knew of its name.

Flowerfruit Mountain's Great Sage Equal to Heavens, Sun Wukong!

It was a stone monkey that was nurtured by heavens and earth.

However, its actual identity was Spiritual Stone Monkey. Although there was the additional 'spiritual' word, a stone monkey was still a stone monkey!

With Feng Lin's understanding of myths and legends, it was very likely that the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene might be the future direction of the Stone Monkey Gene's evolution.

He could use this as a foundation to slowly probe the direction he should be working toward.

From the Stone Monkey Gene to the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene, then to the Monkey King Gene and so forth...

Every single legend was a path to Godhood!

Myths and legends contained the path to Godhood for each and every mythical or legendary character. Deciphering them and then allowing them to evolve was the essence of the genetic cultivation arts.

Could it be that the path I have to take is that of the Great Sage Equal to Heavens, Sun Wukong's?

Then…wouldn't I become a monkey?

...

Feng Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What proper person would think of becoming a monkey?

However, for the sake of cultivation, he was going to go all-out!

To gain strength, Feng Lin wasn't going to be tied down by morals.

That monkey was an unrivaled existence in Huaxia's myths and legends. If he could really take this path, it would definitely be a path with unlimited possibilities and brilliant future prospects.

As long as he knew the direction he was progressing toward, in addition to the existence of the genetic equation, everything was filled with possibilities.

Feng Lin was firmly believed in this and when he calmed down, he noticed that something wasn't quite right.

To think that the Stone Monkey Gene's synthetic formula required both the Monkey Gene and the Stonebirth Gene to be raised into ten points.

This was impossible!

At this moment, there was only this thought in Feng Lin's mind.

Although genes were powerful, there was a limit as to how much they could be strengthened.

Genes of the same tier were further classified into different grades, namely low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, variation-grade, and perfect grade.

The worse the grade of the genes, the harder it would be to strengthen them.

As for the Monkey Gene which was the most inferior low-grade gene, no one had heard of it being strengthened to anything that was higher than three points.

No one had been able to do the same for the Stonebirth Gene, another low-grade gene, either.

Based on common sense, it was only possible to strengthen a gene to ten points or higher if they were superior variation-grade genes.

However, this genetic formula required one to strengthen both the Monkey Gene and Stonebirth Gene, which were both ordinary genes, to ten points. This was something that was impossible to achieve.

If this genetic formula was real, it could be because of this requirement that no one had been able to discover this path.

Feng Lin solemnly thought about it.

Over countless years, despite there being so many geniuses, no one had been able to attain this.

Feng Lin knew his own limitations. He was merely an apprentice and wasn't even considered an official cultivator. Therefore, it was even harder for him to meet this requirement.
