Legend of the Mythological Genes

Chapter 251: Thousand Transformations

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

His Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene was strengthened to 4 from 2, and his vitality stat explosively increased by 150.

Every extra enhancement in a transcendent gene would result in a great transformation to the body.

Feng Lin’s entire body started trembling, his figure and face started to blur. It was just like ripples in flowing water, transforming without end.

The Heart Monkey Force was capable of transformations!

As the strengthening tally increased, the transformation ability would naturally be stronger.

Feng Lin’s talent in the art of transformation grew a notch stronger. He could transform with just a thought and become anything his heart desired. There was no need for him to intentionally use this ability actively.

In his case, changing forms could be done in the blink of an eye.

Also, that was not the end.

Feng Lin felt that he was moving toward a higher realm of wonder. His consciousness broke passed the limits of this dimension and crossed the macro and micro boundaries. He could feel the essence of a multitude of living things. This was a kind of sensation where one could sense all things, akin to looking down on everything from God’s perspective.

The Heart Monkey Force was truly marvelous. This perspective he felt wasn’t in a fixed state. Rather, it was like clouds and mist, allowing him to sense the essence of everything from all angles.

Feng Lin felt that as long as he willed it, he could transform into anything.

Could this be material transformation?

Feng Lin involuntarily guessed. The Art of Transformations could be divided into three stages. Form Transformation, Matter Transformation, and Divine Transformation.

Form Transformation was simply changing the shapes and forms of the objects or user. It wouldn’t be able to affect the inner nature. Mountain was mountain, water was water.

As for Matter Transformation, it transformed the inner nature of the objects or users. Mountain wasn’t mountain, water wasn’t water.

Water could become fire, copper could become jade, mud could become stone...

According to scientific principles, it meant changing matter at the molecular and atomic levels.

Feng Lin’s heart stirred. He instinctively activated his Heart Monkey Force, and the water vapor rising in the air condensed into a sphere of water on his hand. After that, the sphere of water started to transform, slowly becoming a ball of fire.

At the next moment, he felt a piercing pain at the center of his brows. He felt that his Heart Monkey Force was gushing out like tides, and this transformation would instantly drain his Heart Monkey Force dry.

Under great shock, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing. In the center of the water sphere, a cluster of fire could actually be seen. But soon after that, the fire was dissipated.

Feng Lin felt that transforming water into fire wasn’t impossible. It was just that the expenditure of his Heart Monkey Force was too great. If he forcibly continued, even just transforming a tiny sphere of water would be sufficient to drain him dry.

What was the reason for this then?

Matter Transformation affected the substance at an atomic and molecular level. This level of change far surpassed Form Transformation. It was normal that more Heart Monkey Force would be expended.

But wasn’t such great expenditure a little too exaggerated? It wasn’t practical at all.

This didn’t conform to logic.

Most probably, Feng Lin hadn’t found the true reason yet.

Feng Lin started to probe, experimenting with the simplest body transformation.

If one were to ask him what was the thing he understood the most, the answer was undoubtedly...

Feng Lin’s body trembled. And at the next moment, golden fur grew all over his body. In his original location, a golden-furred monkey appeared. He stood there, stunned, and blinked his eyes in confusion. This was...?

Feng Lin was shocked.

This time around, his transformation wasn’t like before. Prior to this, he would only assume an external form to cover things up; only the shape was similar. But now...

He truly became a real monkey!

Other than possessing his normal levels of intelligence, he discovered that his body structure and organs were truly the same as a monkey. He had used his inner vision to survey the interior of his body, and... he had truly become a monkey.

Now, if he was to remove his clothes and mixed in with a group of monkeys, no one would be able to differentiate him from monkeys even if they used the most advanced scientific technology to scan him.

Since he had already become a monkey at the molecular level, how could a scan be able to tell otherwise?

For a moment, Feng Lin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

No matter how he thought about it, he never imagined that he would become a monkey!

Could it be that he was destined to be... a monkey?

No, not only so!

Feng Lin’s thoughts changed. His figure transformed again and he became a large tiger that gave out a resounding roar.

It was just that this tiger seemed extremely weird. This form had a tiger head and a human body, and there were stripes on his body resembling tattoos.

Half human half tiger, resembling a demon, this transformation was incomplete!

Next, he tried out other transformations: a human body and a snake tail, a human that had eagle’s wings, a scaled merman...

All sorts of bizarre forms appeared one after another, mixing in characteristics of humans and animals. They were simply abominations.

Only then did Feng Lin gradually experience the true meaning of Matter Transformation.

Although Matter Transformation could allow him to transform into anything at the molecular level, he couldn’t use it so easily.

Firstly, he had to have a sufficient understanding of the thing he wanted to transform into before he could succeed. Secondly, the greater the degree of transformation, the greater the expenditure of his Heart Monkey Force.

Feng Lin was walking on Sun Wukong Mythology Path; thus, he was extremely clear about the biological structure of a monkey and could instantly transform into one.

But with regards to tigers, birds, and fish...he only had a rough understanding of their biological structure. This was why his attempt to transform into them earlier resulted in so many bizarre forms.

But even so, the difference between Matter Change and Form Change was clear.

Form Transformation didn’t transform one’s inner body structure, but Matter Change would completely transform it into what the user wished to transform into.

From the exterior, there seemed to be no differences between the two, but from the interior, things were completely different.

Also, Matter Transformation required much more warping of reality, resulting in much greater expenditure in Heart Monkey Force. If one was to put it more simply, Matter Transformation contained two aspects. One was macroscopic; another was microscopic.

For the macroscopic aspect, the greater the quality and volume of the ‘target’, the more the Heart Monkey Force’s expenditure would be.

Feng Lin could sense that he also had the ability to transform into a larger or smaller size. After he attempted it, he discovered that he could transform into a ten meters giant at the max. It wasn’t possible for him to grow any larger.

For the microscopic aspect, this was a transformation on the molecular and atomic levels.

A sphere of water didn’t seem to be too much in volume, but if he wanted to transform it into fire, he had to do so from the most basic atoms, to change the microscopic aspects of water to fire was simply too tough, resulting in too great an expenditure of his Heart Monkey Force.

Earlier, when he had attempted that, he could have already felt himself being drained dry at the start of the transformation.

Although Matter Transformation was wondrous, it could be considered a double-edged sword. He must use this carefully.

Feng Lin had just awakened the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene recently; his ability to transform was still undoubtedly weak.

In fact, he suspected that even if he strengthened this gene to a maximum of ten points, he would still be unable to transform as he wanted to if he didn’t understand the principles.

Awakening a gene was awakening a talent. The strengthening of a gene only meant enhancing the talent. It wasn’t equal to true strength.

Strength, other than having a connection with one’s innate talent, hard work was also extremely important. He had to continue practicing and cultivating before he could unleash the full potential of his talent and grow with no restrictions.

For example, for the most simple Strength Gene, if you really unleashed its maximum potential, wouldn’t you be able to turn into Pan Gu, open up the skies, and split open the earth?

This bore traces to Sun Wukong Mythological Path.

Sun Wukong was a spiritual stone monkey birthed by the heavens, and his innate talent was incomparably strong. He was capable of transformations, knew astrology and geography, and was even able to shift the stars.

But when he was a mere stone monkey, nobody guided him and he had to mix with the other monkeys in the forest. At most, he was only their leader. It was only until after he took Subhuti as his master did he manage to cultivate his powerful skills and slowly became the Great Sage Equal to the Heavens that wreaked havoc in the heavenly court and underworld.

There was never anyone in the world who was born extremely powerful. You would only receive something if you gave up something. The Great Sage Equal to Heavens only became so powerful because he gave it his all in his cultivation.

Feng Lin started to test his own abilities. Sweat poured down his body like water as he continued attempting the Art of Transformations. He would transform into a ferocious tiger, a golden ape, and even a human female.

Layers of mist cloaked his face. There were thousands of transformations, and it was unfathomable.

Chi!

Feng Lin’s hands turned into tiger claws, and he tested their power. With a ferocious slash, sharp claw marks appeared on the cliff, they were about three inches deep.

If such a degree of power landed on a human’s body, that human would surely be torn apart.

Feng Lin stared in shock at his claws. He sank into contemplation.

For ancient martial arts of Huaxia, the ancient cultivators created them from mimicking the moves of animals or weapons.

Now that he was capable of thousands of transformations, if he transformed into the shape of a beast and gained the essence of their attacks while unleashing ancient martial arts, wouldn’t his prowess be enhanced to another level?
