The eyes have recovered, which put Ding Huan in a good mood. He simply grilled a fish and ate it before continuing to seclude himself to practice the Luo Shizheng.
As Ding Huan expected, it took almost exactly two days of cultivation for him to feel that the meridians within his body were about to burst open, and the pain caused by the internal fire burning once again surfaced.
Ding Huan was familiar with this feeling. When he first stepped into the realm of second-grade genetic cultivators, he had experienced this kind of pain.
It seems he's on the brink of becoming a third-grade genetic cultivator. The cultivation of the Luo Shizheng was manageable, but the advancement itself is incredibly terrifying.
Fine bloodstains began to appear on Ding Huan's body, and only he knew which kind of terrible torture he was enduring.
The Luo Shizheng cycle fires in a cycle, burning Ding Huan's five organs and six intestines. These fires also spread throughout his body continuously.
However, Ding Huan was clear that he absolutely could not stop now. Once he did, it would be difficult for him to break through to become a third-grade genetic cultivator.
The Qi within Ding Huan's body surged about, almost bursting his body every time, it was only when the cycle of the Luo Shizheng operated that these terrible Qi were taken away.
Even though the Qi taken away continues to burn and torment Ding Huan's body, for him, it's much better than being blown up.
This suffering continued for three days, and even Ding Huan's eyes began to ooze blood. Only then did Ding Huan feel that a new channel seemed to be opened up within his body.
The raging Qi finally found an outlet, spreading throughout his body instantaneously, a new life surged through his entire body.
Ding Huan let out a long sigh, having stepped into the ranks of third-grade genetic cultivators.
He continued to operate the Luo Shizheng while stabilizing his cultivation, and at the same time, he pondered how to modify this scripture.
Two more days had passed, and Ding Huan's cultivation had solidified at the third-grade genetic cultivator level.
He also ceased to ponder how to modify this cultivation method. Indeed, there were many things about cultivation theory in his mind, but due to his low level of cultivation, he could not understand them at all.
With his current ability, modifying a cultivation method at the level of the Luo Shizheng would be almost like suicide.
He can modify cultivation methods at relatively low levels now, and this method is unlikely to work for him.
Stepping out of the tent, Ding Huan began to practice the Wind Control Technique.
Since obtaining the Wind Control Technique, Ding Huan has always wanted to cultivate it to its full potential, but he has never had the time to practice this technique.
Now that he has entered the third-grade genetic cultivator level, and there is no possibility of immediate progress, he decides to focus on cultivating the Wind Control Technique in this secluded cave.
The Wind Control Technique is not a complex spell; it merely requires internal Qi and the techniques for channeling Qi.
To cultivate the Wind Control Technique to its full potential, it is a continuous process of trial and error until one becomes proficient.
Ding Huan is a person who can endure loneliness. Two hundred years of cosmic wandering have tempered his character.
Another half a month passed, during which Ding Huan practiced the Wind Control Technique during the day and continued with the Luo Shizheng at night.
After entering the realm of a third-grade genetic cultivator, Ding Huan felt that his progress had slowed down significantly. However, this was still faster than practicing outside.
That day, Ding Huan employed the Wind Control Technique, easily stepping onto a height of thirty meters, then slowly falling like a leaf.
Ding Huan was very pleased with his progress. If he exerted full effort, his Wind Control Technique could even cross a hundred meters of empty space.
With the distance he can cover now, it should not be inferior to those so-called innate abilities.
Now, facing Dantong, Ding Huan believes he can easily get away.
Ugh! What's there to fear? He's a third-grade genetic cultivator with the Wind Blade Technique and the Wind Control Technique. Why should he be afraid of Dong Antuo?
Looking up at the position of the monkey on the sixty-meter high stone wall, Ding Huan's figure flickered, and he was immediately lifted off the ground and flew to land beside that monkey. Then he used some force from the stone wall to land easily next to it.
Now Ding Huan is a third-grade genetic cultivator, with extremely strong vision.
Before he climbed up, he could see very clearly that it might be a stone shaped like a monkey.
Just that this stone is too similar to a monkey, and can be said to be carved according to the appearance of a monkey.
This is the key that raised his suspicions.
In general, a stonecutter's carving of a monkey wouldn't be placed inside this cave, let alone in the crevice of a sixty-meter-high stone wall.
"It really looks like a monkey..." Ding Huan stepped on a protruding rock, gazing at the stone monkey in front of him, muttering to himself.
It's not that it looks like a monkey, it's more like it's exactly the same.
The incredible workmanship of nature is truly beyond imagination.
Ding Huan reached out and touched the stone monkey. Since it was naturally formed, he had no intention of moving it.
However, after Ding Huan's hand touched the stone monkey, he felt that something was wrong.
Without hesitation, he slashed several Wind Blade Techniques around the stone monkey. Then, with a wave of his hand, he brought the stone monkey out and, with a stretch of his figure, easily landed on the ground.
This time, Ding Huan closed his eyes and ran his fingers over the head of the stone monkey, feeling it carefully.
Within just a few breaths, Ding Huan had determined that this was definitely not a natural rock that had turned into a monkey, nor was it any kind of artificial carving.
This is an actual monkey with blood and flesh, stiffened solidly in place.
Ding Huan has his own explanation for why he says "stiffened solidly" instead of "dead".
After wandering for so many years, his sixth sense is still very strong.
The monkey has been dead for an unknown period, but Ding Huan has a feeling that when the monkey died, it was full of vitality.
At the most vigorous stage of life, it was suddenly killed. One could not even say it was killed, more like it was immobilized.
Taking a second look at the monkey, Ding Huan felt that it resembled a human face more than that of a monkey.
Its hind limbs appear to be longer, while its front limbs are relatively shorter, which resembles humans.
True monkeys, limbs are generally not significantly longer or shorter than each other.
Ding Huan's gaze fell on the monkey's head, where there seemed to be a trace of a blow.
Ding Huan observed this mark carefully, touching it with his finger and then looking at the mark in disbelief.
There is actually a trace of a spiritual seal in it, which means that it was killed by a person using Daoism.
He must have known about the trace of Daoism because of the knowledge taught in that scroll.
The recessed marks on his hand have reversed patterns interlaced, not disorganized. Only Daoist attacks would result in such a situation.
Otherwise, with his current strength, he wouldn't be able to see this trace.
If he were stronger, he might even be able to deduce what kind of Daoist techniques the other person had used.
Ding Huan was overjoyed. Being killed by Daoist techniques confirmed his guess. Ancient divine beings exist, but later disappeared or were far away from here due to Earth's changes.
This monkey has been dead for countless years, yet it can still turn into dry stone. Even more amazingly, Ding Huan can feel that the monkey is made of flesh and blood.
What does this mean? It means that there is a chance to revive this monkey.
Of course, what he means by saving may differ from true saving, but it doesn't matter as long as it is useful to him.
With his understanding of genetic theory and his application of genetic knowledge, as long as the monkey's genes still exist, he has the chance to find these genes and fuse them with those of another monkey.
Ding Huan simply wants to know the true origin of the monkey and some information about the era it came from.
Therefore, he doesn't need to completely restore the monkey's life; he only needs to extract the memory genes of this monkey.
Extracting the memory genes of a monkey requires searching through an extensive gene library, which is too difficult for one person to accomplish.
Ding Huan has his own method, which is the genetic dissolution technique.
When he extracted the antitoxin gene of the Golden-face Big-tailed Apes, he used the genetic dissolution technique, which finished in just two days.
To obtain the memory genes of this monkey, through the genetic dissolution technique, it should not take more than a day or two.
The only difference from before is that Ding Huan does not plan to fuse the memory genes himself.
This is different from fusing ability genes, as Ding Huan simply wants to know what happened back then.
Therefore, Ding Huan plans to find a carrier for genetic fusion of this monkey.
In other words, if he can truly transplant the monkey's memory genes intact into a new carrier, then it wouldn't be wrong to say that he has brought the monkey back to life.
The so-called "rebirth" is simply the restoration of memories. If it's more complex, it can be troublesome and even involve soul issues.
Ding Huan placed the monkey aside and decided to take it to Yujiang University's laboratory when he left this stone cave.
With his current strength, there's no need for him to hide anymore. Returning openly to the laboratory of Yujiang University, who could harm him?
At this moment, it is not Ding Huan who decides to leave. He feels that the celestial and earthly qi in this deep cave is much better than that outside.
Thinking of the celestial and earthly qi, Ding Huan suddenly remembered what Steve had said to him when he was at the old lair of the Pu Hai Gene Alliance.
The reason the Gene Alliance was cleaned out by him was because the strong ones of the Gene Alliance were not at home.
These strong ones went to Kunlun Mountain, saying that ancient Daoist relics were discovered there...
In the past, due to his lack of strength, he couldn't do anything. But now that he has reached the third-level genetic cultivator realm, it's different.
Ding Huan's thoughts became lively. The ancient Daoist relics definitely exist, and he has always suspected the existence of divine beings based on many details.
Adding to this, he has also heard that the Blue Star Academy found a celestial and earthly qi stone in the Kunlun Mountain Range many years ago, which is a good thing to refine with. Using such qi stones for cultivation can accelerate progress.
He wonders if the guys in the Gene Alliance have found any Daoist relics. If they have, then he might as well go and seize them from the Gene Alliance.
If the Gene Alliance has not found any, then he will look for them himself.
He had originally planned to completely eliminate the Gene Alliance. Since he is now planning to steal from them, his current cultivation level is not enough. At least, he needs to reach the fourth-level genetic cultivator realm to go out.
He needs to continue his meditation here.
