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

Chapter 310 Standards at the Gene Level

"Master Dragon Walker is really lazy to set up a virtual dimension just like his own divine kingdom."

As Bai Yang flew toward the main gate of the palace, he looked at the surrounding scenery and thought to himself.

The surrounding area looked exactly like the divine kingdom he had seen before, so he simply copied it without bothering to maintain it.

The palace gate itself was enormous; you could fit the entire Earth inside without feeling crowded.

As soon as Bai Yang flew into the open gate, he felt a sense of teleportation.

My body has entered a completely new space, a huge hall, and the surrounding area is empty and deserted.

At the highest point was a golden throne, where the towering figure of the Dragon Lord sat.

Bai Yang landed on the ground, bowed, and said, "Teacher."

"Yes, you're here. What's wrong? Tell me about it."

The Lord of Dragons nodded to him.

"Teacher, I have questions about practicing the 'Dragon's Journey Record'."

Bai Yang hadn't expected him to be so direct, which rendered him useless in his prepared pleasantries.

"Since I started practicing the cultivation manual, my physical strength has been increasing dramatically."

It has now far exceeded the cosmic scale; the catalogue doesn't have the concept of layers, and I don't have a quantitative standard.

The Lord of Dragons smiled slightly and asked, "Does it matter whether there are multiple levels or not?"

"It's very important. Only by knowing the speed of my progress can I better plan my training..."

"Then we'll see which method is most efficient and prioritize cultivating that particular secret technique, right?"

This time, the Lord of Dragons didn't wait for him to finish speaking before asking directly.

"Yes." Bai Yang nodded. This was indeed his true thought, and he usually did the same thing.

The Lord of Dragons leaned forward, looked at him seriously, and slowly said:

"My disciple, you've had it too easy in the past. You probably mastered every secret technique by leaps and bounds, never knowing what a bottleneck was."

So you lack experience in this area.

The Lord of Dragons suddenly stood up, stepped down from the throne, and stood beside him.

The distance between the two instantly closed.

"This approach, to put it nicely, is about efficiency. To put it bluntly, it's a haphazard, inefficient approach."

You probably already have a vague feeling that this method is taking a roundabout approach, but you haven't really figured it out yet.

I ask you, what is your most crucial secret technique right now?

"The Dragon War Chronicles"

Bai Yang answered without hesitation.

Why?

"Because it can enhance my strength, my overall basic abilities have been improved."

Bai Yang knew that this secret technique, combined with the golden light of the character "Dragon," could help him rapidly improve his genetic level.

"You're a mechanical martial artist, do you know what life gene multiplication is?"

"I've read some materials that mention this, but I feel there are some issues."

"Oh, what did you figure out?" The Dragon Lord looked at him with amusement.

Where exactly is the genetic standard for ordinary life in the universe?

Even within our human race, the power base of different lineages is completely different, although this is quite normal.

However, the naked ape lineage and the dragon-human lineage are indeed very different.

Even within the same lineage, can the basic genes of the humans on my home planet and Manka Star really be considered the same?

They became domain lords upon reaching adulthood, a far cry from my fellow villagers.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After hearing this, the Lord of Dragons couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Well said! As expected of those from the AI faction, their thinking is indeed different from theirs."

The laughter was so loud that it made Bai Yang dizzy and disoriented, and he had no mind to ask who those "they" were.

Seeing the discomfort on his disciple's face, the Dragon Lord knew it was his fault and quickly shut up and stopped smiling.

"For the billions of races in the universe, it is extremely important where this line called the 'Standard' is drawn."

The old fogies on Dragon Tower Star just couldn't understand this principle.

Even if all the analytical conclusions prove that they are all human species.

"Just because they have a higher genetic level, they consider themselves a special race and refuse to acknowledge that they are human. It's a joke!"

Bai Yang instantly realized that this was the Yan God Clan from the Dragon-Human lineage.

He thinks he's something special and actually wants to go it alone.

"For example, why can't our werewolf lineage be counted as the wolf lineage of the demon race?"

This basic genetic division concerns the very foundation of the entire population's existence, and we must examine the essence of the genes.

This hierarchical division is actually the result of the strongest beings in the universe working backward from the limits of a certain power.

It might be a bit early to tell you this now.

Anyway, remember this: the strongest beings in the universe, when it comes to their innate genetic level, will not differ by more than ten thousand times.

Each method of cultivation breakthrough developed by the sages was actually about breaking through the limitations of the original genes and achieving evolution.

The reason why "Dragon War Chronicle" has no layers is because it is too ancient.

So ancient that back then, no one even bothered to classify the genetic levels of life across the entire universe.

Bai Yang quickly pressed on, "Then how should I cultivate?"

"Just practice like this, practice consistently."

This is the practice method that best reflects the original intent of this secret technique.

If you really want to know the level of your genetic evolution, then go to the [Battle Arena].

This is the standard for our human race. Other top races, envious of our virtual universe, have largely adopted this system as well.

"【Battle Arena】?" Bai Yang was somewhat confused.

"When you enter the virtual universe, you all use the same body, do you remember?"

And this is the standard for our human race!

Why do you, the members of the secret realm, need to set up a separate "Battle Arena" when you already have a "Killing Arena"?

Because it has to be fair!

It scans each person's actual physical condition.

Otherwise, we can't let those who have practiced body-refining techniques suffer too much, can we?

You can directly choose a few standard opponents of similar cultivation level and compare their strength to see how many times stronger you are.

I never knew it could be done like that!

Unable to resist the urge to return and test it immediately, he opened his world ring.

They brought out the two beast god statues that had already been scanned into the virtual universe, and said at the same time:

"Teacher, I obtained this on the Blood Luo Continent. The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master also gave me two drops of the Beast Ancestor's True Blood."

The Lord of Dragons' eyes widened suddenly, staring incredulously at what was before him, and he shouted:

"Xuechen!"

A flurry of light and shadow appeared around Bai Yang, and Venerable Xue Chen suddenly appeared beside him.

His eyes showed some surprise; he hadn't expected to be suddenly pulled here.

After nodding to Bai Yang in greeting, he immediately noticed the two statues.

He immediately stepped forward and gently stroked the statue, carefully examining it from all sides.

After a round of questioning and investigation, he reached a preliminary conclusion.

"It's a genuine Beast God statue! Not a fake!"

Young Master, how did you find it?

"I was lucky, and I'm actually pretty good at finding things."

Facing the four astonished gazes directed at him, Bai Yang said this.
