Chapter 161: Seeking Luck and Avoiding Calamity

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
After the reunion night, things were beautiful and joyful.
During the morning of the second day, Feng Lin woke up on his bed. The sunlight passed through the window and shone upon his face, causing him to feel a slight warmth.
Outside, the blue sky and white clouds along with the warm sunlight would lift one’s emotions.
Yesterday was the new year’s eve, a rare chance for Feng Lin to take a break.
But now, he could no longer be lazy. The path of cultivation required one to constantly forge forward; it brooked no delays.
After Feng Lin washed up, he instantly entered the assiduous state of cultivation as the genetic potential of his body continued to increase.
Genetic potential +40%, +40%, +40%…
Very soon, it reached 218%.
Feng Lin’s vitality stats surged up. It had a beneficial effect of hastening his cultivation speed as well. Very soon, he received two free basic genetic points.
He didn’t even think about it and instantly added the points to the Psychokinesis Gene.
The strengthening tally of the Psychokinesis Gene jumped from 4 to 6.
Po~
A commotion shook the air as a formless ripple gushed forth, transforming into substantial energy.
The pillow in his room, cups, chairs—all these objects silently started to float up, being controlled by the formless psyforce.
Feng Lin silently basked in this sensation. He could feel his psyforce becoming stronger again. A rough estimate would be that he was able to lift objects roughly a hundred plus kilograms in weight.
Under his psyforce control, all objects could be easily manipulated. This was extremely wondrous.
However, Feng Lin was frowning. He didn’t feel satisfied in his heart.
Although psyforce could be used in many crafty ways, it wasn’t that powerful and couldn’t really deal substantial damage. To him who was already an interstellar cultivator, it wasn’t that useful at all.
After all, this Psychokinesis Gene was only a basic-tier gene. One might be able to employ its abilities in cunning ways, but its grade was still too low.
If Feng Lin used this to deal with people weaker than him, he would naturally be successful.
But toward experts on the same level as him, it naturally wouldn’t be that useful.
Earlier when fighting Feng Shaoyou, Feng Lin didn’t even think about using this gene because it would be useless.
Only after evolving this into the Spirit Gene would it be useful against powerhouses of the same tier.
After settling the conflict of his clan, Feng Lin felt extremely relaxed as though the invisible giant mountain pressing down on him had been shifted away. He felt freer now and had the time to properly consider his future path.
Right now, his Stone Money Gene had already been maxed out at 10 points. He was only one step away from evolving that to the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene.
As long as he took that step, he would be able to become an elite cultivator and start on the path of transcendence.
Now, everything was ready. He was only lacking the Spirit Gene.
Stone Monkey Gene x10 + Spirit Gene x10 = Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene.
Mental Gene x9 + Psychokinesis Gene x6 + Spirituality Gene x8 = Spirit Gene.
The evolution path of the Spiritual Stone Money Gene appeared in Feng Lin’s mind.
The Spirit Gene could be divided into three basic genes. They were the Mental Gene, Psychokinesis Gene, and Spirituality Gene.
========
Gene: Mental Gene
Grade: High-grade basic gene
Strengthening Tally: 9
Ability: Double one’s mental strength, allowing one to hypnotize the hearts of others
========
Gene: Psychokinesis Gene
Grade: High-grade basic gene
Strengthening Tally: 6
Ability: Formless psyforce, shifting objects through space
========
Gene: Spirituality Gene
Grade: High-grade basic gene
Strengthening Tally: 3
Ability: Strengthening subconsciousness, sensing the unknown, seeking luck, and avoiding calamity
=======
For the Mental Gene and Psychokinesis Gene, their abilities were easy to understand.
Only for the Spirituality Gene was Feng Lin bewildered.
Ever since he had awakened the Spirituality Gene, Feng Lin didn’t feel that it had any specific use at all. It seemed to be of no benefit to him, totally not essential.
Strengthening subconsciousness, sensing the unknown, seeking luck, and avoiding calamity?
Feng Lin glanced at the information about this gene as he silently pondered while having a few guesses in his heart.
According to the information, the Spirituality Gene didn’t pose any direct threat. It was an extremely mysterious supporting ability, allowing one to strengthen their subconsciousness, sense the unknown, and predict danger.
Since now Feng Lin had enough time to experiment, he activated the Spirituality Gene. Instantly, he felt the cool energy coursing through his body, connecting the interior and exterior.
There seemed to be a clear stream of springwater pouring down onto his head.
Feng Lin’s subconsciousness seemed to be undergoing a baptism, clearing his distracted thoughts, raising his consciousness into a mysterious dimension that allowed him to sense this world from another dimension.
Countless scenes flashed through his vision like shooting stars arcing through the air. All of these were scenes he had experienced before. They were merely a fleeting glance in passing. However, it was strange that right now, omens began to appear in his mind as the scenes flashed past.
Furnace Alchemy Art!
Omen: Very auspicious!
If he could restore alchemy of ancient times, he would be able to establish a unique faction of his own in the interstellar space. In the future, it had great potential for developing. He might even become an extremely famous Alchemy Master in the future.
Accepting Feng Shaoyou’s recruitment offer.
Omen: Terrible!
The struggle for authority in the ancestral clan is extremely fierce. All outsiders would be devoured until not even their bones are left.
…
Returning to the Feng Clan.
Omen: Useless.
The restrictions are too much, impeding one’s growth. Only when a bird is free from its cage would it be able to fly freely in the vast skies.
…
All sorts of events and choices he made in his life gave rise to different premonitions.
Feng Lin’s spirituality expanded. A mysterious perceptive subconscious allowed him to sense things that had yet to happen, as well as his life in the future which was influenced by his choices and encounters.
Was this what it meant to seek luck and avoid calamity?
Feng Lin contemplated about this. This was a mysterious power that allowed him to use his immense mental energy to predict the future and sense the omen of his choices.
“As to how many star regions there are in the interstellar space, there would be an equivalent number of Feng Clan’s branches. All interstellar clans would use this method to ensure that there would be an injection of fresh blood back into the ancestral clans in the future. The clan you are in is just one of the Feng Ancestral Clan’s branches in the solar system…” At this moment, a voice rang out in his mind. This was the information Feng Shaoyou had divulged in hopes of recruiting him.
Earth’s branch clans!
Omen: Undeterminable!
All major interstellar clans would have branch clans. The information was too sparse, and he wasn’t able to predict anything.
But right now, through the Spirituality Gene, Feng Lin suddenly sensed an extreme strangeness about Earth.
According to Feng Shaoyou, since the Feng Ancestral Clan had a branch in the solar system, why wouldn’t the other major interstellar clans also insert a branch clan of theirs here?
The more Feng Lin thought about it, the more he felt it was strange. For some reason, the Giant Pharmaceutical Company came into his mind.
The Giant Pharmaceutical Company could be considered a major player in the genetic potion industry of the solar system. Why would they base their headquarters on Mars and not on Earth?
Mars was only one-seventh of Earth’s size.
If they had the power to do so, why didn’t they carry on their ‘god creation plan’ and the human experimentations on Earth instead?
One must know that Earth was the origin point of humanity, the place where humanity had risen. It could be considered a treasure-trove of humanity.
From the looks of things now, it wasn’t that the Giant Pharmaceutical Company didn’t want to do so, but… They couldn’t do so!
Feng Lin’s heart stirred. The Spirituality Gene warned him that several currents in Earth would have a great influence on his future. This mysterious power of the Spirituality Gene was extremely wondrous, but even so, it wasn’t able to predict whether things would be a blessing or calamity for him.
Since he wasn’t able to determine it from the Spirituality Gene, Feng Lin decided to investigate it himself!
Feng Lin pulled out from that mysterious state of elevated subconscious. He used the star internet network to search for news about Earth’s branch clans.
Ji Clan, Xuanyuan Clan, Zeus Clan, Pendragon Clan…
He involuntarily drew in a deep breath.
The waters of Earth were extremely deep indeed!
