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

Chapter 232 Moria's Comfort

Bai Yang's confidence was not blind; rather, it was based on solid reasoning.

Because June 21, 2071, is the date of another system lottery draw.

If he's willing to spend more Earth Points to forcefully choose the "Realistic Simulation" option.

If one instantly gains the insights gained from five years of cultivation, then one will definitely be able to defeat Bolan.

But he doesn't want to do it unless absolutely necessary.

Earth Points are related to cultivation in Chaos City, although he has enough points for now.

But it's always good to be prepared.

"We'll see when the time comes; let's save money wherever we can."

Bai Yang looked up at Luo Feng on the screen; he was still determined to stall for time in the Trial Tower.

This time, it could be said that I indirectly helped him a lot.

That wasn't much to see, and the other geniuses in the square gradually dispersed.

Bai Yang returned to his residence and resumed his cultivation.

With a new clone, one's comprehension is completely different.

In just a few months, I feel that my efficiency has increased significantly compared to the same amount of time I spent before.

Although he hasn't fully mastered the second-level peak of the [Heaven and Earth Crossing] technique, Duan Mingfeng is already very close.

But sometimes that final step is incredibly difficult.

Based on experience, those who reach the level of divine weapons can even cross the first level of the Heavenly Bridge.

"Now there are more than 600 speed illusions, compared to Berlan's space illusions."

In both quality and quantity, we are inferior to the other side.

My advantage is that I can switch between different movement techniques while maintaining speed and illusion, making me more agile than him.

It is now mid-June 2071, and his period of rapid growth has passed.

The development of various new capabilities has reached a stable period.

There won't be any major breakthroughs in the near future.

"It's not enough to defeat Berlan like that."

Are we really going to have to use a "realistic simulation"? That would be so frustrating!

"Master, you should go out for some fresh air."

You humans all say you need to balance work and rest.

Xing Shou sat on Bai Yang's shoulder, looking at him with some concern.

Bai Yang was slightly surprised and turned to see Xing Shou's worried expression.

Am I getting a little too fixated on this?

Is your mental state deteriorating?

Whether or not he can defeat Berlan has no bearing on his status at Virtual Universe Corporation.

But he was determined not to lose to him.

"You're right. I need to relax a bit."

Bai Yang calmed down and realized that his anxiety was inappropriate.

He extended his fingertip and gently tapped Star Guardian's head twice.

However, now that he suddenly has free time, where to relax is a problem.

It's a bit unusual for him to suddenly be expected to enjoy this kind of thing.

Suddenly, Bai Yang thought of something.

"Then let's go visit our second martial uncle."

She seems to be enjoying her life there.

Xing Shou nodded and agreed, but he was still a little worried.

Subconsciously, Bai Yang still wanted to seek advice from powerful immortal martial artists on how to improve his strength.

But it's still much better than being cooped up in the training room all the time.

Bai Yang instantly arrived at a beautiful district on the Qianwu Continent through a portal in the virtual universe.

Exquisite courtyards are arranged throughout the area.

Following the address he knew, he quickly found an elegant three-story building.

When Second Uncle Moria has nothing to do, he stays at home.

When Bai Yang arrived, she was lying lazily in the living room on the ground floor.

Lying on a large, cloud-white sofa gives one a feeling of complete relaxation, as if all energy is gone.

Despite being an immortal powerhouse, she had no servants; she was all alone.

"Hello, Uncle-Master."

"Bai Yang? What brings you here today?"

"Huh? You don't seem to be feeling well."

Bai Yang was slightly surprised. She could see that too?

"I feel a bit tired lately, so I want to relax a bit."

So I came here to rest for a bit.

Moria adjusted herself to a more comfortable position and praised:

"You should take a break."

Otherwise, in ranked matches that started sometime ago, you'll be at a huge disadvantage being so tired.

After she finished speaking, she yawned, seemingly because she was also sleep-deprived.

Bai Yang asked curiously:

What have you been busy with lately?

When this was mentioned, Moria seemed to perk up a bit.

"That book you gave me, 'The Seven Forms of Minghuan'!"

This is so difficult! I've studied it for a long time but still can't get it right. This was compiled by someone else, and there are many missing parts.

Bai Yang chuckled: "Don't worry too much about it."

I bought this thing just for fun; it's not a big deal if I don't master it.

Moria immediately retorted, unconvinced:

"Now that I've started training, I'm determined to make something of myself."

Those who give up halfway will never achieve immortality.

He is an immortal being, and also a martial artist.

Moria certainly has her pride.

She glanced at Bai Yang and asked:

"You're too tense. What's wrong?"

Not confident in ranked matches? You really want to be number one in the universe?

Bai Yang nodded slightly and said, "Now that we've come this far, it would be a lie to say we don't want to go."

Berlan, I really want to beat him.

Moria also became serious at this moment, and said earnestly:

"Your teacher and I have all watched your videos."

This Berlan...

I can only say there's no solution, in our time.

I've never encountered such a monstrous talent before.

Bai Yang laughed and said:

"That's why I want to beat him even more!"

Seeing that his mood seemed to have improved, Moria said happily:

"I won't upset you anymore. Wait for me a moment, I'll get you something nice to eat."

Bai Yang expressed his gratitude, and Moria immediately started cooking.

She instantly changed her clothes into a white cooking suit.

With her beautiful, long, black hair tied in a ponytail, she walked into the kitchen and started cooking.

She entered the room and opened the storage cabinet, which contained all sorts of strange and unusual ingredients.

Since entering the universe, Bai Yang has not had a chance to experience these things.

This is truly eye-opening; you can't possibly get full from eating virtual food like this.

However, its color, aroma, and taste are exactly the same as the real food.

It also requires spending a considerable amount of cosmic currency to obtain.

Bai Yang felt he hadn't been this relaxed in a long time, just eating and drinking.

Or you can chat about interesting things and time will fly by.

You don't need to think about anything else, you don't need to consider anything else.

Moria smiled and chatted, as if she had endless topics to discuss.

There's absolutely no pressure chatting with her, and there's never an awkward silence.

"Those aliens from Wuhe are so outrageous, they even wanted to cook with black holes!"

"A black hole? That's quite a feat!"

What are all those ingredients? And why do we have to cook it this way?

"A certain type of rock-like life form. If their world lord-level powerhouses are killed on the spot, there will be a particularly delicious liquid in their core that can be drunk like soup."

However, this kind of creature is too difficult to deal with; only the gravity of a black hole can handle it.

Many of the Wuhe aliens are skilled in "Black Hole Evolution," so it doesn't matter.

Their understanding of spatial laws is very high.

"What did you say?" Bai Yang was suddenly startled.
