Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 10 Genetic Energy

Bai Yang walked to Zhang Haobai's side and instantly struck him with a chop, knocking him unconscious.

He reached out to help him up and shoved the monster cell into his mouth.

This cell, after his special modification, will not cause any change in his strength or appearance; it will only enslave him.

After he took it, he was completely controlled by Bai Yang and woke up.

Bai Yang clicked his tongue in amazement; the feeling of completely controlling someone was truly strange.

He controlled Zhang Haobai's body and made a few simple movements, thus gaining complete control over the man's physical condition.

Although the monster cells are not yet capable of creating clones, the life and death of the opponent truly rests in his hands.

Bai Yang directly erased some of Zhang Haobai's memories, which fueled his hatred for Luo Feng, before withdrawing his own consciousness.

He ordered Zhang Haobai to go back to sleep, which would ensure the plot continued as it was going, and that was enough.

From beginning to end, no one will know about his involvement; he won't even know that he was manipulated.

Bai Yang returned to the group and drove the three elderly people home with Yang Wu, naturally receiving another wave of thanks.

After finishing these tasks, Bai Yang returned the car to Huashan's secret base and took the train back to school.

This newly acquired "Gene Energy Cultivation Method" was something he had been eyeing for a long time.

How can there be any reason not to practice intensively?

The so-called Gene Energy Cultivation Method is also known as the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Cultivation Method.

Generally, most people can only begin gene energy cultivation after meeting the physical requirements of a martial artist.

Following the content of the article he had read during the day, Bai Yang struck a pose resembling five hearts gazing at the sky.

The crown of the head, the palms of both feet, and the palms of both hands should all point upwards after sitting cross-legged.

Then I began to try to feel the endless energy in the universe.

Given Luo Feng's aptitude, he successfully cultivated the technique after only three hours of sensing.

He then absorbed energy for two full hours, gaining 2000KG of punching power overnight, and was regarded as a genius among geniuses.

So what will happen to Bai Yang?

In his view, this so-called sensing process.

This is similar to things like "entering samadhi" and "observing the breath" in ancient cultivation methods.

In this respect, China and India are uniquely endowed, and some concepts are naturally understood through exposure.

The world's Hong and Thor were able to be so overwhelmingly powerful from the very beginning.

Besides the advantage in mindset, cultural influence also plays a significant role.

Based on what he had read in various novels in his previous life, Bai Yang knew that the key points were "maintaining the posture" and "not thinking about anything".

His control over his body is near perfect, and his postures and movements are flawless.

Achieving this state of "falling asleep while sitting but not actually sleeping" is not always smooth sailing.

A jumble of random thoughts keeps popping into my head, and I feel inexplicably irritable.

I just wanted to stand up and stretch my arms and legs to relax.

Fortunately, he had strong willpower and physical control, and he managed to suppress the impulse.

After obtaining the system, Bai Yang's memory became incredibly strong, and he could recall everything he had seen in his previous life clearly.

The calmer the outward posture, the more intense the conflicting memories swirling in the mind.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and a line from a novel he had read before came to mind.

"When thoughts are settled, emotions are forgotten; when the body is weak, qi circulates; when the heart is dead, the spirit lives; when yang is abundant, yin diminishes."

This statement is simple and straightforward, and it explains the key points of meditation practice with unparalleled clarity.

Even if most people don't understand it at first, they can gain some insight after reading it several times.

Bai Yang immediately forgot about himself and the world, completely forgetting about deliberately "sensing" the situation, and repeatedly recited the sentence in his mind.

A moment later, he had only this one thought in his mind and didn't want to think about anything else.

Soon, he felt a trace of energy flowing into his body from each of his five "hearts" at an extremely slow speed.

But at this point, he no longer cared about any of that, having truly reached the state of "the dragon holding the pearl in its mouth, ignoring the swimming fish."

The state of deep meditation itself is the "sea pearl," while cosmic energy is merely the "swimming fish."

He adopts an attitude of "ignoring it, neither forgetting nor helping" towards the cosmic energy he absorbs.

They certainly wouldn't calculate how long it took them to complete the sensing.

Every cell in Bai Yang's body began to frantically devour this cosmic energy on its own.

His body had already become monstrous, so even if he ate a lot of ordinary food every day, it wouldn't be able to keep up.

In fact, his body was still in a special state of "hunger".

But with the endless replenishment of cosmic energy, he finally found the feeling of having a full meal.

His body is constantly changing—his skin, muscles, bones, and even every cell deep inside.

The genes, which had already been optimized during the process of becoming a monster, were stimulated by cosmic energy and underwent another evolution.

Then, "genetic energy" will be generated, causing a dramatic change in a person's strength!

This is true evolution at the level of life itself!

Bai Yang's body is the original form of Monster King Orochi, and he is essentially a life form belonging to the Hengxing level.

It can be said that before reaching the Hengxing level, at least at the genetic level, he had no bottleneck to speak of.

Simply follow the steps; this is the best opportunity when you first come into contact with cosmic energy.

His strength began to increase at a rocket-like speed!

Bai Yang remained conscious throughout; he could hear a "ding" sound in his mind.

This is the system reminding him that he has undergone some kind of change.

He was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and chose to ignore it.

The changes in his physical body intensified, and his weight began to increase miraculously.

Finally, the extremely abundant cosmic energy even advanced into his brain, beginning to strengthen his brain.

This force is truly inexhaustible, showing no signs of waning.

Bai Yang was engulfed and devoured again in this surging wave of cosmic energy, frantically strengthening every aspect of himself.

-

I could feel the scorching sunlight streaming into the dormitory room from outside the window.

Even with his eyes closed, Bai Yang could feel the brightness and finally opened them.

It was already morning.

His gains from last night's cultivation session were truly astonishing.

If his body hadn't finally given him that feeling of fullness, he really wouldn't have wanted to end it here.

He picked up his phone and checked the time; it was already past eight o'clock!

Bai Yang wondered how long he had absorbed energy yesterday.

Nine hours? Ten hours?

Anyway, it will definitely take seven or eight hours.

He didn't know how much his physical strength had increased.

However, the improvement in strength and realm is real and tangible.

He checked the system and indeed found the clue:

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your strength has reached [Apprentice Level 2], Earth Points +1!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your strength has reached [Apprentice Level 3], Earth Points +1!"

Bai Yang was dumbfounded. Had he really become a high-level warrior?

Just one night? The next step is becoming a junior general?

I haven't practiced "guiding techniques" yet!
