Legend of the Mythological Genes

Interstellar Heaven’s Chosen Ranking!

The giant board in the air was shining like stars in the night sky. Each of the names on there was glowing brilliantly.

There were a total of three levels to the Interstellar Heaven’s Chosen Ranking. The Sun level, Moon level, and Star level. The levels corresponded to the elite adept realm, adept realm, and grand cultivator realm respectively.

Feng Lin clicked the information sent to him and discovered that the Interstellar Heaven’s Chosen Ranking combined the ranking of all geniuses in the top ten cosmos universities. These geniuses were all below thirty years old, and the ranking didn’t care about one’s background or origin. It only cared about cultivation and strength.

Feng Lin was silently startled.

There were so many geniuses in the universe. To think that there were people who had reached the elite adept level before the age of thirty. This was simply unimaginable.

Right now, Feng Lin was only an elite cultivator. He didn’t even qualify to enter the star level.

“Senior sister Zhao is so awesome! She ascended to the top of the moon level so quickly!”

“Females have an innate disadvantage when it comes to combat prowess, however, senior sister Zhao was actually able to dominate all the men and ascend to the top of the moon level. Truly impressive!”

“Senior sister Zhao is only a step away from the elite adept level. Given her strength, she most probably would reach top 100 in the Sun Ranking the moment she broke through!”

….

The A.I. in the building announced the latest results.

Many students halted their steps and gaze up at the giant board while singing praises.

Feng Lin glanced over and he could see a name floating at the number one spot in the Moon-level Ranking. “Zhao Yue`e, born in Huaxia City. She is from the Martial Academy of the Great Wall University and is proficient in Water-Fire Taichi Martial Arts. Her combat prowess far surpasses her peers…”

The name of a female could be seen there, dominating the names of many of those from the same generation below. It was extremely eye-catching.

To cultivators, if cultivation speed was compared, females wouldn’t be inferior to males. In fact, females might far surpass males as some unique paths required special physiques to cultivate.

But because of the innate differences in physical aspects, when the cultivation bases of males and females were equal, females would be slightly inferior in terms of combat prowess.

This Zhao Yue`e was actually able to dominate countless males. It could be said that she was a woman among women and wasn’t a simple character.

Compared to him, right now, he didn’t even have the qualifications to join the rankings.

The joy he felt upon successfully joining the Great Wall University vanished completely.

No matter how strong one person is, there will always be someone stronger!

Upon ascending to a different peak of the rankings, it didn’t mean that one could relax. The competition there was even more intense.

Cultivation was like trying to swim against the currents; one could never be careless.

….

Feng Lin cast a deep glance at the Heaven’s Chosen Ranking. Right now, all of this was still too far away for him. It wouldn’t benefit him if he thought too much about it.

If he wanted to purchase cultivation resources, he had to earn contribution points.

Contribution points couldn’t be exchanged for by star coins. The students needed to accomplish missions or head to the battlefield and achieve some merits before they could gain the points.

Feng Lin managed to find the mission about hunting the space goblins.

The missions could also be classified into the sun, moon, and star grades. Each grade could be further classified into high-tier, middle-tier, or low-tier.

Space goblins were considered an alien race akin to cockroaches. Their combat strength wasn’t strong, but if no one cared about them, which allowed them to breed freely, their population would surge explosively in just a few short years

Hence, hunting space goblins was a perpetual mission. It was considered a low-tier star-grade mission, and its primary purpose was just to train students, to allow them to get the feel of doing missions. The contribution points awarded wasn’t high either.

Feng Lin handed over the heads of the space goblins he had hunted coincidentally in the past and only received 500 contribution points.

This bit of contribution points only allowed him to purchase the ingredients for one furnace of the marrow-cleansing pills. It was simply not sufficient to spend.

It seemed like he had to think of some ideas to gain contribution points.

Feng Lin pondered silently. By choosing to join the Mythology Academy, he undoubtedly received the greatest freedom but he had chosen to give up some of the more tangible benefits.

However, since he had already decided, he wouldn’t regret this.

Feng Lin activated his id microchip and connected it to the university’s network. He swept through the missions segment, and a variety of missions appeared in his vision.

“Hunt the astral beast, Alloy Ceratopsian Beast. Reward: 10,000 contribution points.”

“Explore the outer Milky Way Galaxy and discover a new life planet. Reward: 1,000,000 points.”

“Hunt spirit lifeforms, each spirit lifeform can be exchanged for 100 points. Hunt a giant astral beast. Reward: 10,000 points.”

…

There were all sorts of mission.

Feng Lin frowned. The majority of these missions had too high of a difficulty. They weren’t something a tiny elite cultivator like him could attempt. Maybe grand cultivators could barely make the cut. But even so, grand cultivators had to work in a team for there to have some hope of success.

The hunting of spirit lifeforms looked simple, but spirit lifeforms were innate universe creatures that could exist in space. One had to fight them in outer space; thus, the risks were too high. If the flying shuttle was damaged, the students that went on this expedition would be exposed to the vacuum environment and die miserable deaths.

Feng Lin had experienced this before.

If one didn’t have enough strength, they couldn’t even do any mission.

The situation now was more difficult than he had imagined.

The Great Wall University was one of the top ten universities in the cosmos. Therefore, grand cultivators were considered bottom feeders. As for him, a mere elite cultivator, his strength was definitely insufficient.

The truth was as such; this was something that couldn’t be mitigated for a short period of time.

Feng Lin could only calm himself down and continued browsing through for suitable missions.

Sadly, although there were many missions, he couldn’t find one that was suitable for him.

It was either hunting astral beasts and alien races or exploring the universe. All of these carried inherent danger and required a group of experienced people…

The minority of the missions were concocting genetic potions. Sadly, the contribution points given were simply too little, not worth the effort.

Feng Lin temporarily put these potions concocting missions to one side. If he still wasn’t able to find a suitable mission at the end of the day, it wouldn’t be too late to accept them.

“Look, quickly look!”

“Senior sister Zhao Yue`e issued a new mission!”

“Restoring an ancient medicinal recipe. Reward: 50,000 points!”

“This mission has no risk, yet there’s so much reward. Moreover, we would be able to form a closer relationship with senior sister Zhao. We cannot miss this chance!”

…

Under the mission interface, a screen of chat popped up, attracting Feng Lin’s attention.

“Restoring an ancient medicinal recipe. Reward: 50,000 points. Mission issuer: Zhao Yue`e!”

A mysterious picture appeared below the mission, showing a substance that looked like a pile of mud. This pile of mud seemed to have experienced the tribulation of time and had already corroded; its original form was now obscure. However, it radiated an intense spiritual qi and medicinal potency.

Feng Lin took a single glance and his eyes instantly narrowed.

Alchemy pill!

He had seen this scene before.

This was clearly a substance from ancient times that had crumbled after such a long time.

(How did this Zhao Yue`e obtain this ancient alchemy pill? Hmm, restoring an ancient medicinal recipe? Could it be that she has found a new mythological ruin?)

….

Feng Lin’s heart stirred, feeling that this was very possible.

He could accept this mission!

Not only would he be able to obtain large amounts of contribution points, but he would also gain an ancient pill recipe and the information about a mythological ruin!

This Zhao Yue`er was one of the rare powerhouses in the Great Wall University; things that could attract her attention definitely wouldn’t be ordinary.

Wasn’t this simply the mission he was looking for?

He could kill many birds with one stone!

If one talked about cultivation, right now, his cultivation base could only be considered meager.

But if one talked about alchemy, he who had obtained the alchemy inheritance was confident that he wouldn’t be inferior to anyone.

This mission, he had to apply for it no matter what!

Feng Lin’s finger tapped as he decisively accepted the mission.

In the taskbar, a message appeared.

“Please gather at the special medicine refinement lab. We will administer a test to see if you are qualified to accept this mission or not.”
