Legend of the Mythological Genes

Chapter 178: Riding on A Flying Cloud

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

High up in the air, a colored cloud was rapidly speeding into the distance, arcing through the sky, It felt like the stories in the legend where one somersault could allow Sun Wukong to travel 108,000 miles in the blink of an eye.

Cloudsoar!

Feng Lin stood on the cloud, looking at the scenery beneath him and feeling the vastness of the world. Now, he felt extremely carefree like he could travel anywhere he wanted.

This was an extremely marvelous experience, soaring on clouds and flying through the air.

Humans walked on the ground, fish swam in the sea, birds flew in the sky... There were all sorts of unique abilities as well as their restrictions. Fish could never exist on land, humans couldn’t fly in the sky using their natural means, and birds couldn’t breathe in the water.

There was an order regulating everything. These were the laws of nature.

Now, Feng Lin was using his spirit force to execute this ability, allowing him to fly. Somehow, he had already broken the limitations of natural laws, and his base nature had evolved to some degree of transcendence.

With just one more step, he would break through the greater limit of human’s lifespan of 100 years and become a true transcendent lifeform.

Feng Lin basked in the joy of flying through the air, and his gaze peered into the horizon. There were clouds, tall mountains, and flowing water...his vision took in all there was in the world while he marveled at the majesticness of nature.

From ancient times until now, being able to fly through the air freely was the greatest dream of humanity. The sky was so vast, and so was the universe. The imaginations of humans were boundless. Since then, after losing the transcendent abilities of the ancients, humans didn’t stop seeking another way. They focused on science and technology and eventually created airplanes, flying shuttles, and other creations that could allow them to fly through the sky.

But flying through the sky with one’s own abilities? This was the toughest obstacle ordinary humans faced.

But now, Feng Lin managed to do it. His spirit force allowed him to use the Cloudsoar ability.

Was this the base nature of riding on flying clouds?

After Feng Lin’s spirit force gushed out, he instinctively unleashed this Cloudsoar ability. Now that he thought back to it, he gradually understood the basic nature of how to use his spirit force to control objects to fly.

Spirit force was an extremely pure and formless energy that could affect and control a multitude of things.

After awakening the Spirit Gene, Feng Lin instantly added a point to it, causing the strengthening tally to shoot up to 2. His spirit force was naturally strengthened and right now, he could control objects up to a ton in weight and things as tiny as a cloud particle. He could even cause his spirit force to take corporeal form as he levitated in the air.

Now, he could feel that he was riding on a cloud. It felt like stepping on the softest cotton and there was even an elasticity to it. There was basically no way he would fall.

Was this the legendary Cloudsoar abilities those deities and gods used?

Maybe their methods would be more brilliant, but the base nature of this ability should be the same.

A look of contemplation appeared on Feng Lin’s face.

Once, during the Ancient Era, there was a saying that humans could never lift themselves up by their hands. (not inverted handstand, it refers to lifting themselves up as they wrapped their hands around their waist)

But in this era of mythological genes, this saying was no longer accurate.

Materialistic energy could complement and interact with each other, but there was a limit.

Spirit force was completely different. It had no restrictions and could manifest formlessly and attain material effect despite it being an immaterial force. For example, spirit force could manifest formless hands from spirit energy and lift people into the air.

The floating cloud he was riding on felt like a flying carpet. He rapidly flew in the direction of Huaxia City, leaving behind a trail of white mist resembling jet-propelled aircraft.

Feng Lin had a look of joy on his face as he familiarized himself with this new ability.

As the Spirit Gene continuously strengthened, the scope of his spirit force would naturally be broader. Now, he could only control a floating cloud, but in the future, he might even be able to control those microscopic particles in the air, allowing him to fly even more freely. At that time, he would no longer need to depend on Cloudsoar.

But this step was still very far for him, and he could temporarily forget about this first.

Feng Lin rapidly sped ahead, but all of a sudden, he felt mental fatigue as the layer of clouds beneath him started to dissipate.

Not good, my spirit force is running out!

Feng Lin was silently shocked. It seemed like this Cloudsoar ability couldn’t be used casually as the consumption rate of spirit force was too high. Just flying a while already caused him to be unable to endure.

He quickly controlled the cloud to descend, slowly approaching the ground as he sighed in his heart.

Right now, his strength was still too weak. Although he could use Cloudsoar, he wasn’t able to sustain it for very long.

It seemed like if he really wanted to achieve his objective of being able to fly freely, that objective was still extremely far away.

After acknowledging this truth, Feng Lin didn’t feel too dispirited.

One wouldn’t become a fatty just after eating one mouthful of food.

After all, he had already seen his future path. Next, he only needed to walk step by step stably down this path to reach his desired destination.

Feng Lin peered at his stats.

=====

Name: Feng Lin

Vitality: 92.8

Primeval Genes: Stone Monkey Gene x10; Spirit Gene x2

Basic Genes: Monkey Gene x10; Stonebirth Gene x10; Adrenaline Gene x1; Mental Gene x9; Psychokinesis Gene x6; Spirituality Gene x8

Genetic Potential: 268%

=====

After awakening and strengthening his Spirit Gene, Feng Lin discovered that his vitality stats didn’t increase too much. After breaking through the 90 point mark, the growth in his vitality stat had clearly slowed down.

After all, the development of Spirit Gene was known for strengthening the mind, it wouldn’t really increase stats of other aspects.

Also, given that a vitality stat of 100 was the absolute limit for interstellar cultivators, even nearing that limit was extremely difficult, let alone to break through it.

Even if Feng Lin continued to strengthen his Spirit Gene, his vitality stats probably wouldn’t increase much unless Feng Lin managed to break through his bottleneck in one fell swoop and ascend into an elite cultivator.

Cultivation was a very long path, and each step was filled with difficulty.

Feng Lin discovered that this was increasingly true.

After he landed on the ground, he started to experiment with the abilities of his newly awakened gene.

His spirit force formlessly transformed into a gentle breeze of wind that brushed past the mountains and rivers, probing everything in the area.

The range of his mental probe was greatly enhanced. He could perceive everything in a radius of about two kilometers around him. Every single blade of grass could be clearly felt by him, even the ants on the ground or the mosquitoes in the air...

Nothing could hide from his probe.

The Spirit Gene was a fusion of three basic genes. Thus, each aspect of the basic gene was greatly strengthened. It was only that for now, although he still wasn’t sure what changes did the abilities of the Spirituality Gene go through.

Spirit force was simply too wondrous; it had boundless potential. As Feng Lin grew increasingly proficient in controlling it, when he used this in the future, his opponents would find it tough to anticipate his plans and deal with him.

Also, Feng Lin was most satisfied with the fact that he now possessed a stronger long-range attack. This complemented and made up for the weakness of the Stone Monkey Gene which only granted him proficiency in close-combat. In the future, he would have no more weaknesses.

For this point, it was extremely important to Feng Lin who wanted to participate in the interstellar college examinations.

The geniuses in the entire universe would be gathered together. From this, one could imagine how intense the competition would be. For those with weaknesses, they would surely be the loser.

After establishing the Mythological Genes Association and awakening his Spirit Gene, Spring Festival was almost over.

Tomorrow was the day when school started again. Therefore, Feng Lin sat on the flying vehicle and flew rapidly in the direction of Huaxia City.

A hint of carefreeness could be seen in his eyes. It was like he could see scenes of the future. He would surely rush forward with great momentum; life would be incomparably fascinating!

Tomorrow is a new day, it would also be a new beginning!
