728: Chapter 0728: The Miracle of Mount Olympus 728: Chapter 0728: The Miracle of Mount Olympus In the past, when Long Fei opened a book, his head would ache after flipping through just a few pages.
Now, whenever he reads a book, his spiritual power stirs, and the pages flip rapidly without any wind, taking just a few seconds to imprint a book of over five hundred pages entirely in his mind.
This is the terrifying aspect of cultivation, the higher you go, the more potential your brain unlocks.
Long Fei’s cultivation level at the Core Formation Stage was equivalent to having developed thirty percent of his potential.
Bear in mind that the great physicist Einstein only developed twenty percent.
In a way, he’s a spellcaster who cultivates his spirit but not his physical body.
Physical elents are actually the Heavenly Earth Force talked about in Huaxia’s Daoism.
The difference is that modern science needs machines to extract these physical elents, whereas Huaxia’s Daoist thods can directly control them with spiritual power.
As Long Fei looked at the book, his mind was wildly thinking about other things.
He wondered to himself, if at so point he could harness atomic energy, then fighting would beco much more enjoyable.
Probably, the experts in the Mahayana Realm of legends could do just that!
With a wave of their hands, heaven and earth would turn to dust.
Ordinarily, spiritual power manipulates a broad spectrum of Heavenly Earth Force, but those in the Mahayana Realm should be able to decompose this force, refining the vague forces down to atomic levels.
With the sa volu of energy, they could unleash the atomic energy within with a flick of their hand.
Such power is terrifying to even think about.
“Here, it’s yours!”
Long Fei returned the book to Lin Yingying.
Lin Yingying frowned and asked, “You’re done reading?”
“Yeah!”
Long Fei nodded.
“Are you kidding ?”
Lin Yingying’s face displayed disbelief, as it had been less than a minute from when he took the book to returning it to her.
How could he possibly have finished reading a book of over five hundred pages so quickly!
She opened the book and tested Long Fei, “Who are the Twelve Main Gods of Greece?”
“Isn’t that a bit too easy?”
Long Fei chuckled and began confidently, “Zeus at the top, like our Jade Emperor.
His older sister Hera, like our Heavenly Empress Mother.
Right, Hera is also Zeus’s third sister.
The relationship between these siblings is a bit impure, huh!”
As Long Fei said this, he gave Lin Yingying a mischievous glance.
Lin Yingying scolded, “Just answer the question.
It’s none of your business whether their relation is pure or not!”
Long Fei laughed, counting on his fingers, then continued, “Zeus’s second brother, Poseidon, rules the sea, and his eldest sister Hestia manages the hearth, while his second sister Deter is in charge of agriculture.
These five from one family already occupy five spots.
The remaining seven include the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena; the War God, Ares; the Hunting Goddess, Artemis; the Divine Envoy, Hers; the God of Light, Apollo; the Fire God, Hephaestus; and the Goddess of Love and Beauty, Aphrodite.
Right, Zeus’s big brother Hades is also powerful.
Just unlucky to have beco the Nether King of hell and not part of the Twelve Main Gods.”
Lin Yingying stared at Long Fei in astonishnt, wondering what kind of brain he had.
Without any background in Western literature, the tongue-twister nas of the twelve gods rolled off his tongue without any effort.
She pressed on with her questions, “After reading this book, what struck you the most?”
Long Fei sighed and said, “The biggest impression is that Zeus’s private life was too indiscreet, not abiding by the rules like our Jade Emperor.”
He loved transforming into animals to flirt with girls; any girl he set his eyes on would not be spared, regardless of who she was.
He beca a cuckoo to flirt with his own sister Hera, a bull to flirt with the Phoenician princess Europa, and a swan to seduce the wife of the Spartan King Tyndareus.
The king was cuckolded, and later his wife gave birth to two golden eggs.
Out of one egg hatched the most beautiful woman in the human realm, Helen.
This beauty could mimic the voice of any woman.
As she grew up, she eloped with Prince Paris of Troy, sparking the infamous Trojan War.
All that aside—after all, who doesn’t have a love for beauty?
But when this big shot was ruthless, he didn’t even spare n!
Seeing that Ganydes, the son of the King of Troy, was young and handso, he repeated his old trick—he transford into an eagle and swooped him up, taking him to Mount Olympus where he replaced the Goddess of Youth.
Having nothing better to do, he poured wine for himself, making romantic advances, only to be discovered by his wife Hera.
This furious woman couldn’t take it any longer.
In her anger, she turned the beautiful young man into a water jug.
A heartbroken Zeus had no choice but to seal the handso man’s spirit in the sky, forming what we know today as the Aquarius constellation.
Lin Yingying was dumbfounded.
She had asked him a serious question, but he ended up caring more about these stories.
Seeing her dissatisfied expression, Long Fei raised an eyebrow and said, “What’s wrong, did I not answer your question correctly?”
Lin Yingying asked, “Didn’t you notice any other issues?”
“Other issues?”
Long Fei thought for a mont, snapped his fingers, and said excitedly, “I’ve realized that Zeus is also henpecked.”
Lin Yingying had just taken a sip of wine and almost spurted it out.
She choked, shook her head, and finally said directly, “Didn’t you realize that this myth is very systematic and echoes the mythology of our Eastern culture?”
“Those who write novels make things up, of course it’s systematic.”
Long Fei drank a sip of wine and mused, “Back in the day, I aspired to be a literary writer.
Too bad the editors didn’t recognize talent—I submitted my work to several websites, but none would offer a contract.
They only like brainless stories about underdogs wooing female CEOs, modest farrs practicing cultivation, people using X-ray vision to beco doctors, Sun Wukong fighting the Jade Emperor—no literary culture whatsoever.
It’s truly lantable.”
“Can you be any less narcissistic?”
Lin Yingying couldn’t help but giggle, her laughter drawing the attention of the n around her.
She quickly raised her hand in apology, took a deep breath, and said to Long Fei, “Believe it or not, but sothing divine just happened on Mount Olympus.
Like our Mount Tai, soone caught a wild ox there.
It’s as big as an elephant and is now on exhibit at the museum at the foot of the mountain!”
“How do you know this?”
Long Fei furrowed his brows curiously.
“Little Ya told !”
Lin Yingying took Long Fei’s hand, looked at him, and said, “This wedding really hurt that girl.
The Dragon Group’s new mission is to investigate divine phenona on Mount Olympus, and I was thinking if you could spend more ti with her, it would make feel less guilty.”
Long Fei stared at her blankly, sowhat in disbelief that Lin Yingying would do such a thing.
Had she lost her mind to push her own man towards another woman?
If this were in the past, maybe, but now he was officially her husband—how could such a good thing happen?
There’s a conspiracy!
Long Fei put on a serious face and said to her, “Yingying, now that we’re married, let the past be the past!
A good man like , how could I possibly go out and philander again!”
Lin Yingying pursed her lips and smiled, “Are you sure?”
“Of course!”
Long Fei patted his chest with a guilty expression on his face.
Lin Yingying gave him a wry look and laughed, “Stop pretending, I know what you’re thinking.
Last night you were sleep talking and calling out her na, and here you are pretending to be a good man?”
“Did I say it?”
Long Fei was surprised for a mont, then chuckled as he scratched his head, looking like he had been caught in an affair by his wife.
Last night he had been exhausted and, like any ordinary person, fell asleep.
It had been a long ti since he had a sleep like that.
