Chapter 62 The Stone Monkey Killed
Ding Huan was in a good mood after his eyes recovered. He simply grilled a fish and ate it, then continued to practice the Luoshijing in seclusion.

Just as Ding Huan expected, after only two days of practice, Ding Huan felt that the meridians in his body seemed to be splitting, and the pain of being burned by internal fire came again.

Ding Huan was familiar with this feeling. It was such pain when he first stepped into the second-level genetic cultivator.

It looks like he is going to become a third-level genetic cultivator. It’s okay for him to practice the Luoshi Sutra, but it’s so terrifying when he is promoted.

Tiny bloodstains appeared on Ding Huan's body. Only Ding Huan himself knew what kind of horrible torture he was enduring.

With each cycle of the Luoshijing, flames would be rolled up to burn his internal organs, and then these flames would continue to extend to all parts of the body.

However, Ding Huan knew that he absolutely could not stop now. Once he stopped, it would be difficult for him to become a third-level genetic cultivator.

The vital energy was running rampant in Ding Huan's body, and every time it was about to burst Ding Huan's body, the circulation of the Luoshi Meridian was able to take away the terrifying vital energy.

Although the energy taken away continued to burn and torture Ding Huan's body, for Ding Huan, it was much better than bursting.

This torment lasted until the third day. When even blood began to seep from Ding Huan's eyes, Ding Huan felt as if a new channel had been opened up in his body.

The violent energy finally found an outlet and instantly spread throughout the body, and a new life filled the entire body.

Ding Huan let out a long sigh and stepped into the ranks of the third-level genetic cultivators.

While he continued to practice the Luoshi Sutra to stabilize his cultivation, he was also pondering how to modify this technique.

Another two days passed, and Ding Huan's cultivation was stabilized at the level of a third-level genetic cultivator.

He also stopped thinking about how to modify this technique. There were indeed many things about the theory of the technique in his mind, but his cultivation level was too low and he simply could not understand them.

With his current abilities, modifying a martial art of the Luoshijing level is almost the same as seeking death.

The level of the skills he can modify now is not very high, so this kind of skills will not be effective for him.

Walking out of the tent, Ding Huan began to practice the art of controlling the wind.

Ever since he acquired the Wind Controlling Technique, Ding Huan wanted to practice this spell to perfection, but he just never had the time to hone it.

Now that he has entered the third level of genetic cultivator, there is no possibility of further progress in the short term, so he might as well concentrate on studying the art of controlling the wind deep in this cave.

The art of controlling the wind is not a complicated spell. All it requires is internal energy and the method of moving the Qi.

If you want to master the art of controlling the wind, you have to keep trying until you become proficient in it.

Ding Huan is a man who can endure loneliness. Two hundred years of wandering in the universe has tempered his character.

Another half a month passed. Ding Huan practiced the wind-controlling technique during the day and continued to practice the Luoshi Sutra at night.

After entering the third-level gene cultivator realm, Ding Huan felt that his progress had slowed down significantly. Even so, it was faster than practicing outside.

That day, Ding Huan used the wind control technique to easily step into the air thirty meters high, and then slowly fell like a leaf.

Ding Huan was very satisfied with his progress. If he exerted his full strength, he could even use the wind-controlling technique to cross the air over a distance of a hundred meters.

With his current distance in the air, he shouldn't be any worse than those so-called innate ones, right?
Now facing Antono, Ding Huan thinks he can get away easily.

Bah! What the hell, he's already a level 3 gene cultivator, and he has wind blade and wind control skills, why should he be afraid of Antonao?

Looking up at the monkey on the 60-meter-high stone wall, Ding Huan's body shook and flew up on the spot. Then he borrowed some strength from the stone wall and landed easily next to the monkey.

Ding Huan is now a third-level genetic cultivator with extremely strong eyesight.

Before he came up, he saw it clearly and thought it might be a stone that looked like a monkey.

It’s just that this stone looks too much like a monkey, you could even say it was carved in the image of a monkey.

This was the key point that aroused his suspicion.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for the monkey carved by the stonemason to be placed inside this cave, and in the cracks of the stone wall that is more than 60 meters high.

"It really looks like it..." Ding Huan stepped on a protruding stone, looked at the stone monkey in front of him, and muttered to himself.

It cannot be said that it is similar to a monkey, it can only be said that it is exactly the same.

The wonders of nature are truly unimaginable.

Ding Huan reached out and touched the stone monkey. Since it was created by nature, he had no intention of touching it.

But when Ding Huan touched the stone monkey, he felt something was wrong.

Without hesitation, he slashed a few wind blades around the stone monkey, then pulled the stone monkey out with his hand, stretched out his body, and landed on the ground easily.

This time, Ding Huan closed his eyes and stroked the stone monkey's head to feel it carefully.

In just a few breaths, Ding Huan was sure that this was definitely not a monkey made from natural rock, nor was it an artificially carved monkey.

This is a monkey with flesh and blood, frozen in time.

Ding Huan has his own opinion on why he said solidified instead of dead. After so many years of adventure, his sixth sense is still very strong.

No one knew how long this monkey had been dead, but Ding Huan had a feeling that the monkey was very full of vitality when it died.

He was suddenly beaten to death when he was in the prime of his life. It can't even be said that he was beaten to death, it was more like he was frozen.

Looking at the monkey again, Ding Huan felt that it was more like a human with a monkey face.

Its back two limbs appear to be longer, while its front two limbs are relatively short, which is similar to that of humans.

For real monkeys, the limbs are of similar length.

Ding Huan's gaze fell on the monkey's head, where there seemed to be a mark of a blow.

Ding Huan observed the mark carefully, felt it with his finger, and then looked at it in disbelief.

There is actually the mark of magic on it, which means that this person was killed by Taoist magic.

The reason why he knew there were traces of Taoism in it should be related to the knowledge imparted in the scroll.

The indentations that his hand touched had interlaced lines, but they were not chaotic. Only a Taoist attack would cause this.

Otherwise, with his current strength, he wouldn't be able to see such traces.

If he were stronger, he might be able to figure out what Taoist magic the other party was using.

Ding Huan was very excited. Being killed by Taoist magic further proved his conjecture. The ancient immortals did exist, but they disappeared or moved away from here due to the changes on the earth.

This monkey had been beaten to death for who knows how many years, but it could actually turn into dry stone. He could even feel that this monkey was made of flesh and blood.

What does this mean? It means that he has a chance to save the monkey.

Of course, the salvation he talked about might be a little different from the real salvation, but that didn’t matter, as long as it worked for him.

With his understanding of genetic theory and his application of genetic knowledge, as long as the monkey's genes still exist, he will have the opportunity to find these genes and merge them with the genes of another monkey.

Ding Huan just wanted to know the true origin of the monkey and some information about the era in which the monkey lived.

So he doesn't need to completely restore the monkey's life, he just needs to extract the monkey's memory genes.

To extract the memory gene of a monkey, one needs to search from a huge gene library. It is difficult for others to accomplish it alone.

Ding Huan has his own method, which is the gene lysis method.

When he extracted the poison-resistant gene of the golden-faced rough-tailed monkey, he used the gene lysis method, and it was done in just two days.

If we want to obtain the memory gene of this monkey through the gene lysis method, it should only take a day or two.

The only difference from before is that Ding Huan does not plan to integrate this memory gene himself.

This is different from the fusion ability gene, but simply wants to know what happened in the first place.

So Ding Huan planned to find a gene fusion vector for the monkey.

In other words, if he could really transplant the monkey's memory genes completely to a new carrier, it would not be wrong to say that the monkey was reborn.

The so-called rebirth, in simple and crude terms, is the restoration of memory. In more complicated terms, it is troublesome and involves issues of the soul.

Ding Huan put the monkey aside and decided to leave the cave and take the monkey to the laboratory of Yujiang University.

With his current strength, there is no need to hide. If he returns to the Yujiang University laboratory openly, who can do anything to him?
Ding Huan doesn't go out now because he feels that the vitality of heaven and earth is much better when practicing deep in this cave than outside.

Thinking of the vitality of heaven and earth, Ding Huan suddenly remembered what Steve said when he was in the Puhai Gene Alliance's lair.

The reason why he wiped out all the members of the Gene Alliance was because the strong men of the Gene Alliance were not at home.

These strong men went to Kunlun Mountain and said that they had discovered the remains of ancient Taoists there...

There was nothing he could do before because of his poor strength, but now he is a third-level genetic monk.

Ding Huan's mind became active. The ancient Taoist ruins definitely existed. He had already inferred the existence of immortals and gods from many details.

In addition, he had also heard that the Ten Great Academies of Blue Star had found the Heaven and Earth Essence Stone in the Kunlun Mountains a long time ago. This is a good thing that contains the essence of heaven and earth. Practicing with this essence stone can speed up progress.

I don’t know if those guys from the Gene Alliance have found the Taoist ruins. If they have, he might as well go to the Gene Alliance and rob them.

If the Gene Alliance couldn't find it, he would go look for it himself.

He had originally planned to uproot the Gene Alliance. Since he also wanted to steal things from the Gene Alliance, his current cultivation level was not enough. He had to at least become a fourth-level genetic cultivator before he could get out.

I have to continue my retreat here.
