Her words caused Feng Lin to stop in his tracks.

The method to attain a breakthrough and become an elite cultivator?

Feng Lin had stopped at the paragon-phase for a while. Although his vitality had surpa.s.sed the limit of 100, his genes had reached a bottleneck and hadn’t been able to take another step forward to reach a brand new world.

He had initially thought that it was just because he hadn’t encountered the right juncture for a breakthrough.

However, based on what this delicate-looking lady said, there seemed to be something beyond this.

Feng Lin cast his gaze toward the fierce-looking young lady and discovered that she was already an elite cultivator. This made her words even more persuasive.

After all, there was a living proof right here which boosted her credibility, and it didn’t seem to be a fraud.

He had to say that the delicate-looking lady was very clever and grasped hold of what was most important to Feng Lin.

She could tell that Feng Lin had wavered but didn’t fully believe her. Her voice transmitted out once again through mental waves, trying to lead him on. “Attaining a breakthrough to become an elite cultivator is the most crucial step on the mythological path. Interstellar cultivators only grasp transcendent powers and only need to go through gene evolution. The difficulty isn’t too great. And once a person becomes an elite cultivator, their entire body would be modified by genetic power and go through energy evolution, becoming actual transcendent lifeforms. This requires a life transformation and wasn’t as simple as a gene evolution! It contains an even deeper level of profoundness!”

Feng Lin didn’t pursue this problem anxiously nor did he fell into the rhythm of the other party’s words. Instead, he jumped out and asked in a low voice, “I don’t think we know each other. How do you know that I haven’t attained a breakthrough in my cultivation?”

“This is related to my ability!” the delicate-looking lady said calmly, merely brus.h.i.+ng on her ability briefly. She was wary and didn’t reveal her capabilities. Instead, she said, “I can tell that you’ve exceeded the vitality limit for interstellar cultivators, but you haven’t attained a breakthrough in your realm. Although I have no idea how you surpa.s.sed the vitality limit, there’s no doubt that you’ve reached a bottleneck!”

She leaned on her younger sister’s back, communicating with Feng Lin while they were running and avoiding the pursuit of the death criminals.

Feng Lin’s countenance remained calm and he asked again, “Then how do you know my name?”

The delicate-looking lady revealed a faint smile. “I don’t just know your name! I also know that you come from Earth High School from Earth’s Huaxia City and was born in a great clan—the Feng Clan. However, you didn’t awaken your clan’s hereditary genes but instead created a gene path for yourself…”

She brought up Feng Lin’s background very clearly. If ordinary people didn’t know about it, they would have thought that the relations.h.i.+p between her and Feng Lin was extremely close. Otherwise, how could she know about these in such great detail?

“You investigated me?” Feng Lin’s countenance immediately turned grim, and he emitted a dangerous aura once again.

He was certain that he didn’t know this lady before. Why did she understand him in such great detail? What was she plotting?…

The delicate-looking lady was very tactful and only looked at Feng Lin’s countenance before immediately understood that he had a misunderstanding.

“Don’t be mistaken! I have the information about all the exam candidates in my head. My gene path doesn’t have a super strong battle prowess; however, this is my ability. Before coming for the tests, I have made use of the star network to investigate the information of all the candidates!” She pointed to her head and said casually as if what she mentioned was an insignificant matter.

An interstellar hacker?

Candidates’ information was confidential and only top-notch interstellar hackers would be able to hack through all the firewalls within a short period of time and grasping all candidates’ information.

Never judge a book by its cover!

To think that this delicate-looking lady had such an amazing hacking ability. Moreover, her brain powers were also very strong for her to be able to remember all of the information.

Feng Lin’s trust in her grew a little.

Once mental-typed genes were awakened, the users would be able to develop their brain powers tremendously, allowing them to possess extraordinary memories and wisdom.

Feng Lin’s Spirit Gene was one that was more inclined toward grasping mental energy. Based on his earlier observations, this delicate-looking lady seemed to have taken another path that was more inclined toward hypnotism techniques.

The communications via thoughts occurred in just an instant.

At this moment, the death criminals came attacking toward them from all directions.

The leader of the gang put his hands together, bringing forth his genetic ability to create a huge tremor to the earth. The bottom crusts formed a huge wave that came surging over.

Wherever the earthquake pa.s.sed by, mountains would collapse and the earth would shatter, wanting to engulf these pair of sisters completely.

The fierce-looking young lady’s long and slender legs were strong, beautiful, and filled with an explosive prowess. She leaped high in the sky, jumping non-stop amidst the rocks that were raining down, dodging them with great agility.

However, the Earth’s crust in the surroundings had been completely flipped over, forming a cage that seemed to want to drown them completely.

Their lives were on the line, and they were about to be engulfed.

No matter how calm the delicate-looking lady had appeared previously, she could no longer remain calm anymore.

They were now trapped from all directions and only Feng Lin’s flying ability could aid them to break out of this situation.

“Gene evolution isn’t that simple! Attaining a breakthrough to become an elite cultivator requires a unique profoundness. You’ve been trapped at the interstellar cultivator realm and we’re the only ones who can help you…” said she anxiously.

Hearing that, Feng Lin no longer hesitated. He raised both of his hands, “Rise!”

Invisible spirit force seethed out, condensing water vapor to form a white cloud that seemed to be material. It floated before the two sisters.

“Don’t resist! Jump onto it!” he bellowed in a deep voice.

“Younger sister, go up!” the delicate-looking young lady said in a soft voice. The fierce-looking young lady gritted her teeth and suddenly leaped onto the cloud.

The cloud was like a flying carpet, bringing along the two of them and rising up rapidly.

“Go!” With a single thought from Feng Lin, it continued to fly outward.

“Where are you heading to!” The leader amongst the death criminals shouted furiously when he saw the prey that was almost in their hands flying away. “Attack them with full power! Strike all of them down!”

Earthquake waves!

He slapped his two hands fiercely toward the ground.

A series of intense tremors extended out and the earth trembled. Seething rocks were thrown into the sky and came smas.h.i.+ng toward them.

Fire bird, flying arrows, wind blades… All the other small fries also utilized their respective means.

Overthrowing rivers and seas!

Feng Lin rubbed his palms together, and the cudgel grew big at a rapid rate, becoming longer and longer, forming a ten-meter-long metal pillar that he held in his hands. His hands started moving at an increasingly faster speed.

Wu wu wu!

The air started to become viscous under the cudgel’s stirring motion just like seawater, forming a huge vortex.

Plunging rocks, flames, ice blades—all sorts of attacks landed into it. Under the cudgel’s sweeping motion, all of them were crushed and completely dissipated. None of the attacks landed on the two sisters.

Feng Lin grabbed the cudgel with both hands, acting like a divine character who was stirring up the seas and bringing forth a series of typhoons and strong gales, making it hard for one to stand firmly.

When the fierce-looking young lady watched this, her eyes lit up. “What weapon is this? It’s amazing! When will I be able to get my hands on such a powerful weapon?”

However, when the delicate-looking young lady saw the cudgel’s appearance and the words “a.s.sume one ideal form based on one’s intentions.” She went deep into thought and her eyes gleamed a little.

They weren’t the only ones thinking about this. Even Feng Lin himself could sense that this Measureless Divine Metal Cudgel had helped him tremendously.

He awakened the Stone Monkey Gene and had mighty strength and astonis.h.i.+ng speed. However, he only excelled in close combat.

After all, the human body had limitations and the power was constrained along with the body, unable to be fully unleashed and having too few variations.

On the other hand, this Measureless Divine Metal Cudgel could transform freely, feeling like his own arm. It could extend freely, unleas.h.i.+ng his powers perfectly, increasing his battle prowess by many times, and improving his means tremendously.

He swung the cudgel at full-power, creating a huge vortex in the air and scattering all of the attacks. At the same time, his spirit force dragged the two sisters rapidly into the sky, very quickly reaching a height of 10,000 meters. This already far surpa.s.sed the height that the death criminals’ attacks could reach.

Their prey had escaped!

Those people kept on shouting furiously, feeling fl.u.s.tered and exasperated.

“Why aren’t we leaving?” The cloud floated in the sky but not moving. The fierce-looking lady asked anxiously.

Feng Lin turned, wore a faint smile. “The two of you seemed to have forgotten something. I just saved the two of you. Aren’t you supposed to tell me the crux to attaining a breakthrough?”

“What? You want to know the secret of a breakthrough to the elite cultivation realm like this? How can things be so simple?” The wild-looking young lady glared and said furiously, wanting to make a move if the talks fell through.

Feng Lin wore an unnatural smile. “You better think things through before you make a move. We’re 10,000 meters high up in the sky. If I were to withdraw my spirit force, the two of you will…”

He smiled and didn’t continue on. It was clear what he was referring to.

“You dare to threaten me?” The fierce-looking young lady was enraged.

The delicate-looking young lady held her back and stared at Feng Lin, speaking in a cold voice. “What do you want?”

Her heart sank.

They had just gotten away from those death criminals, and now they had landed in Feng Lin’s hands. Flying ability was far too rare, and the area 10,000 meters up in the sky was his field. Their abilities were useless.

The two sisters’ destinies were in his hands. This was clearly something he had already thought about.

If they were tossed down from a 10,000 meter height, they would be seriously injured even if they didn’t die.

They must first stabilize this situation.

Feng Lin shook his head. “I don’t wish to do anything. I kept my promise and saved your life. It’s time for the two of you to fulfill your end of the promise now!”

“You dare doubt us?! In the name of the G.o.d of war Ares and the G.o.ddess of wisdom Athena, we’ll definitely keep our word!” the fierce-looking young lady said furiously.

Hearing that, Feng Lin’s eyes gleamed. Weren’t these the names of Greek’s twelve Olympian G.o.ds?

In the name of the G.o.d of war Ares and the G.o.ddess of wisdom Athena?

Could it be that their beliefs were in Greek myths and legends, or that these were their mythological paths?

This was highly likely!

Feng Lin thought back of their performance earlier and felt that this was very possible.

The fierce-looking young lady’s battle prowess wasn’t weak. She was very valiant in battle and in no way weaker than men. Could it be that she was on the G.o.d of war Ares’s mythological path?

However, this was a male G.o.d!

Feng Lin’s expression was very strange. Although he knew that the inheritance of mythological genes was their transcendent characteristics and was irrelevant to one’s gender, he still found it to be strange.

Could it be that this delicate-looking lady took on Athena’s mythological path?

She had extraordinary wisdom and her characteristics were a good match with Athena.

However, Athena wasn’t just the G.o.ddess of wisdom. She was also the G.o.ddess of war at the same time, being a rare powerful deity even in Greek myths and legends.

If this woman were to take on this path, why would her battle prowess be so weak?

Was it because the level of her mythological genes was too low or that there were some other problems elsewhere?

Feng Lin entered deep in thought.

Seeing that her younger sister was speaking without any restraints, revealing their backgrounds, the delicate-looking young lady’s countenance changed drastically. She no longer kept her cool. “Sister…”

An interstellar cultivator’s mythological path was their greatest secret. If others were to find out about it, they would no longer be able to hide anything, and others would be very clear about their abilities. If others were to intentionally target them, the situation wouldn’t be too optimistic.

The fierce-looking young lady covered her mouth and knew that she had said too much.

The delicate-looking young lady sighed. She was helpless toward this younger sister of hers.

Thankfully, she hadn’t said much and this person shouldn’t have realized much.

Greek myths and legends had already become very rare and neglected in the Interstellar Era. Most people only knew of the twelve Olympian G.o.ds’ names but didn’t understand much about their stories.

What they didn’t expect was that the two names revealed had already caused Feng Lin to come up with all sorts of connections and guessed their backgrounds clearly. Otherwise, they would definitely feel extremely regretful.

Feng Lin didn’t reveal any abnormality on his face, but he became very interested in the two of them.

“Since this is a trade and you guys know so much about me, you should also be telling me your names, right? Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair at all!” He could tell that the fierce-looking young lady was a little inclined toward being all brawn and no brains. The one he had to pay more attention to was the delicate-looking lady instead. Therefore, he asked this.

The delicate-looking lady gave it some thought, not understanding Feng Lin’s intentions.

However, Feng Lin clearly didn’t trust them. If they were unwilling to even give him their names, it would only make him doubt them even more.

“We’re called Yana and Aris. We came from the Heavenly King Planet!” she said slowly.

“Two greek sisters?” Feng Lin’s mind cleared up. The names of this pair of sisters were very similar to the G.o.d of war Ares and the G.o.ddess of wisdom Athena. It was definitely not a coincidence, and he became increasingly certain about his judgment.

The delicate-looking Yana frowned. She was extremely intelligent and knew that with the death criminals watching them on the ground, it wasn’t a good idea for them to continue to drag things on.

“Feng Lin, I know that you don’t trust us. Similarly, we don’t trust you either! Why don’t we do this? I’ll share with you half of the means of attaining a breakthrough and after you’ve brought us to a safe zone, we’ll tell you the other half. How about it?” She said this with great sincerity, coming to a compromise.

This wasn’t bad either!

Feng Lin secretly thought.

Saving this pair of greek sisters was just something he had done in pa.s.sing. He wouldn’t be losing out if he were to obtain half of the means of attaining a breakthrough in his realm. If this could really give him some inspiration, he wouldn’t need to fret over the remaining half.

Moreover, if this pair of sisters knew what was good for them, they wouldn’t go back on their words and offend such a great enemy.

“Alright! We’ll do as you say!” Feng Lin finally nodded.

The exchange was completed and Yana didn’t drag things on any further.

“The reason you can’t attain a breakthrough in your realm and are stuck at a bottleneck is related to your mythological genes! There are three steps to cultivating mythological genes: awakening, strengthening, and evolution respectively! Out of these, the most particular one would be evolution. Most people would be trapped at this stage and unable to cross it.”

Feng Lin listened patiently, wearing a serious expression, seemingly to be listening attentively.

If what Yana had said was the truth, then this would be something he had overlooked previously.

“If you wish to evolve your mythological genes, the prerequisite would be for you to understand the intrinsic qualities of the mythological genes, integrating and becoming one with it entirely. It’s basically split into two steps, which are the Mythology Deduction Method and the Mythology Conclusion Method!”
