Chapter 194: Surging Spirit Force

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The crystalline structure would lock the medicinal potency in, releasing them in waves. On the surface, there seemed to be no energy fluctuation. But the moment he swallowed it, Feng Lin felt fiery energy akin to lava coursing through his entire body. He felt like a volcano that was on the verge of eruption.

As expected of a genetic potion formed with a transcendent organ. This powerful medicinal potency was something Feng Lin had never experienced before.

The medicinal potency flooded his entire being waves after waves, challenging Feng Lin’s mental and physical resistance.

Feng Lin cast out all thoughts of distraction and guarded his state of mind, enduring the hellish pain. At the same time, he also activated ‘transforming energy into qi’ to aid him in digesting the medicinal potency.

The fiery medicinal potency was transformed into milder energy that seeped into his entire body. It felt like cool spring water raining down on his head. His entire body felt barren as he frenziedly absorbed that mild energy and nutrients to strengthen himself.

Feng Lin’s body began to swell up like a balloon. He now resembled a stuffed fatty.

The nutrients and energy provided by the potion were simply too abundant. All this medicinal potency being packed into a tiny crystal seemed somewhat of an exaggeration!

Burp!

Feng Lin involuntarily let out a belch, and a thick amount of steam was issued from his mouth. If this continued on, he would soon become a fire breathing dragon.

Fire, fire, fire…

His body flushed red as though he was being burned by flames. His sweat continued perspiring and the violent energy within him circulated frenziedly like ocean tides, filling his body with strength to the point where he felt like he was about to explode.

He activated ‘refining energy into qi’ with full force, rapidly digesting the overflowing energy.

Feng Lin’s body turned wizened but soon swelled up with strength once more. After that, the cycle repeated itself again and again.

During this process, he felt pain all over his body.

Feng Lin gritted his teeth tightly. His organs, his muscles, his bones—all of them were being broken down to atoms and reconstructed back, a cycle of destruction followed by rebirth. His form slowly grew more perfect.

Genetic potions were created in the first place to strengthen the bodies of humans. The original structure of the human body would break down and reform, and this intense transformation also meant extreme agony and pain.

After experiencing so many things, Feng Lin’s will was as tough as iron. He gritted his teeth and resolutely guarded the hint of clarity in his mind, refusing to fall into the deep darkness of unconsciousness.

Genetic potential +86%, +86%, +86%…

Also, this unswerving determination allowed his genetic potential to surge crazily, just like a rocket shooting through the air. Very soon, his genetic potential reached over 1,000%, and he gained a free primeval genetic point.

One couldn’t help but admit that as a transcendent creature, the Yamata no Orochi’s body was truly filled with vibrant energy. Just the transcendent holy water that concocted from a single treasure pearl from it allowed such rapid improvements to Feng Lin’s cultivation. Since this was the case, he could finally see the hope of breaking through to the elite cultivator realm before the second round of examination.

This bout of hard work and effort was worth it!

Feng Lin continued to cultivate, focusing on fully refining the medicinal potency.

As the medicinal potency was gradually digested, the violent waves grew calmer, but they still felt like floodwater gushing into all his meridians.

Genetic potential +80%, +80%, +80%

The gain in his genetic potential gradually slowed down; however, the speed was still considered extremely fast. Very soon, his genetic potential would reach 2,000%.

Also, his spirit force was strengthened immensely after he endured the hellish pain. By steeling himself and depending on his will to resist the pain, his spirit force kept increasing. When he had been in torment and agony earlier, his state of mind seemed to have been refined by the flames of pain. He had unconsciously depended on his spirit force to tide him through. Now, his spirit force grew more corporeal. If it was a formless gust of wind in the past, it could be described as a cloud of mist now, something more material compared to the past.

With a sweep of his spirit force, he could sense everything. The minuscule details in his ‘vision’ also grew more precise.

In the past, if his microscopic sight had been at 100x, it was now at 120x, 140x, 160x… and the preciseness continued to increase.

Things hadn’t ended yet!

As his genetic potential broke through the 2,000%, Feng Lin now had two free primeval genetic points. He didn’t hesitate and added them to his Spirit Gene, causing the strengthening tally to become 6 from 4.

BOOM!

His spirit force was instantly enhanced. Wild winds rose and thunderous tension of a storm could be felt in the air, emitting sounds of explosions.

But Feng Lin wasn’t too joyful. The strengthening tally of his Spirit Gene had reached 6, but his vitality stat was only at a pathetic 94.8.

Despite adding two free primeval genetic points to the Spirit Gene, his vitality stat only increased by 1.2.

Although his spirit force had increased, adding the points to strengthen his gene didn’t really increase his vitality by that much, each point only gave him a 0.6 increase. Wasn’t this too little?

Could it be that the stats limit of an interstellar cultivator was really limited at 100?

It was impossible to break through this limit?

Although he couldn’t confirm this, the current scene had undoubtedly shown him part of the truth. The nearer he was to the absolute limit, the lesser his vitality would increase by. Every point of increment was now extremely precious.

It seemed like he had to break through to the elite cultivator realm as quickly as possible. If he didn’t take the step and leap over the dragon gate, evolving into a transcendent lifeform, his vitality stats would always be stuck here.

Feng Lin calmed his emotions and continued to cultivate. Genetic potential +68%, +68%, +68%…

He immersed himself in the joy of his surging genetic potential. However, before he could be happy for too long, a warning notification sound rang out from the flying shuttle’s A.I..

“Warning! Warning! Warning! Captain, please take note that an unknown artificial object is discovered ahead…”

Feng Lin opened his eyes. An unknown artificial object?

One must know that he was already at a depth of over 20,000 meters in the Mariana Trench. There was actually artificial objects here? What sort of object would that be?

Curiosity appeared in Feng Lin’s heart. During the time when he was cultivating, the flying shuttle had been diving deeper all this while, and it had already reached a depth of 24,128 meters. He could be considered to have arrived at the internal area of this great oceanic trench.

“Hmm, this should be the nest of the Yamata no Orochi. Are there other unknown artificial objects here? Could more secrets be concealed around this place?”

Feng Lin suddenly felt extremely interested. He felt a sense of excitement at going deep into the sea to search for treasures. He controlled the flying shuttle and continued diving downward.

The light from the shuttle illuminated the surroundings. Reflected light flickering resplendently could be seen in the far distance.

The flying shuttle moved toward that direction, and after a rapid scan of the strange object’s appearance, a three-dimensional picture appeared.

This was actually a strange-looking pillar. It had a thick base, but the higher it got, the thinner the body became. It was roughly about 100 plus meters in circumference, and its length was immeasurable, deep enough that Feng Lin couldn’t see the bottom of it.

The flying shuttle continued to dive, and the iron pillar also continuously extended downward as though it was limitless in length.

Only when Feng Lin had arrived at the bottom of the Mariana Trench did he discover that this iron pillar was embedded deep within the seabed. Even now, he still didn’t know how long this pillar was.

Feng Lin felt extremely curious, how long was this iron pillar exactly?

There were actually traces of an artificial object from it? Who created this?

…..

As the flying shuttle continued scanning, a three-dimensional hologram of the entire thing appeared.

To his astonishment, Feng Lin discovered that the tip of this iron pillar was embedded into a gigantic island at the surface of the water as though it was supporting the island. This iron pillar seemed indestructible and felt like the work of God’s, a supernatural fine craft.

His heart stirred as he suddenly thought of something.

Could this be the legendary divine pillar in japanese mythology?
