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

Chapter 79 Backroom Dealings

"Why did you come to me instead of Jia Yi for this?" Hong asked curiously.

"Huashan is an official institution, and such a national treasure can sometimes be more troublesome," Bai Yang replied.

Hong seemed to have thought of something and nodded in understanding.

Bai Yang didn't know what he remembered, but he suddenly stopped dwelling on the issue and started talking about other things.

"That precious sword unearthed from the foot of Mount Hua, is it in your hands?"

Bai Yang nodded in agreement; this was actually quite easy for Hong to guess.

"Did you learn that incredible power generation technique from here?"

"That's right, the reason we came to borrow the holographic camera last time was for this very thing."

Hong sighed and said, "I roughly guessed what would happen after Jia Yi broke through his strength. The main reason I called you here today is to give you some advice."

Given his age and strength, he shouldn't look so old.

Many councilors who rose to prominence during the Great Nirvana Era either came into contact with systematic cultivation techniques too late, or suffered severe injuries in battle, potentially resulting in a much shorter lifespan than normal.

If you find any solutions within the sword, be sure to tell him! He's not one to trouble younger generations.

Bai Yang was taken aback, suddenly realizing that he had overlooked this point before!

Jia Yi and Yan Hai were the same age, but they both looked old and frail, as if they were about to die.

They looked older than some of the gods of war.

But in fact, Hong and Thor are not younger than them; they look to be in their twenties at most.

The Great Nirvana happened only forty years ago, and Jia Yi was no more than 100 years old.

Planetary-level beings have a lifespan of up to a thousand years, so he should actually be considered very young.

They must have overspent too much when they were young. How could they advance to the planetary level without paying a price under such difficult circumstances?

But Mr. Jia never brought it up once!

If Hong hadn't brought this up today, in Bai Yang's mind, Jia Yi, because he was originally like this, would never have thought of this.

It's even possible that a solution was found, but the opportunity was missed.

Thinking of this, Bai Yang bowed deeply to Hong to thank him for his guidance.

For him, this was far more important than any guidance on cultivation.

Hong sighed and said, "It's good that you understand. If there really is such a method in the sword, please tell me. I'm willing to pay for it, and the price will definitely satisfy you."

Bai Yang shook his head and said, "I haven't found anything yet. If I do, I'll definitely let you know. Thank you, Master."

The two had nothing more to say to each other, so Bai Yang went out to say goodbye.

In the end, Hong didn't actually say whether he agreed or not.

It seems that a war base is acceptable, but a hydrogen bomb with a yield of one billion kilotons is not.

Bai Yang had no choice but to take it one step at a time, and if all else failed, he would have to go to Elder Jia.

But he knew that this was a taboo subject in the government, and it would be best to resolve it through Hong.

Should I go ask Thor too?

This matter is no longer urgent. Bai Yang has already made a secret decision to enter the No. 9 ancient civilization site.

Once he obtains all the cultivation methods for the martial artists of Meteorite Star, he must find a solution.

If by then, we really can't find it.

He would then choose to take a forceful approach, forcibly administering the freak cells to Jia Yi to extend his lifespan.

In the original story, even after Luo Feng became the Lord of the Universe, he was unable to revive the five heroes.

Because they have to bear the passage of time themselves; they are not immortal Earthlings, they simply do not have that kind of lifespan.

In this lifetime, I am determined to stop the Golden Horned Beast from wreaking havoc on Earth.

If Old Jia hadn't died on the battlefield, but instead hadn't lived to be 1000 years old and had died in his sickbed, that would have been a joke!

After returning to Jiangnan Pavilion, he continued to practice boxing in the basement.

He watched a lot of videos yesterday and needs to practice and digest them.

After that, whenever I had time, I would go to the fourth level of the Trial Tower to further my understanding of the fundamental laws of water.

Whenever there was a break in the gravity chamber, he would immediately go there to cultivate his genetic energy, living a very regular life.

Their strength has also increased significantly, improving quite rapidly.

About 20 days later, his cultivation level advanced to the advanced War God level.

Instead of leaving, he continued his cultivation, preparing to forge his genetic energy to the peak of the advanced war god level.

The goal is to achieve invincibility below the planetary level without transforming.

"Damn it! When will this guy ever stop?! He's been hogging the gravity chamber all day and never comes out!?"

Inside a luxurious villa within the War God Camp, a voice was roaring with fury.

Eben Paz is nearly 2 meters tall, with dark skin and a muscular build.

His eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of anger.

He was surrounded by a group of people, all of whom were among the top twenty students in the War God Camp, and they were all smiling at him.

"Eben, what's the use of getting angry? Look at the rest of us, aren't we all in no hurry?" a slow, deliberate voice said.

"Of course you're not in a hurry! You still have time! But this is my last year, and I can't afford to waste it!"

"Eben Paz said breathlessly."

He was originally ranked third on the Black Dragon Ranking, and his number is 520916.

This is his last year here.

However, his strength remained stuck at the intermediate-level War God, with no sign of breaking through to the advanced-level War God.

The top five students in the War God Camp, even if they did not actually break through to the Advanced War God level.

However, one can usually get a breakthrough opportunity before graduation, and then it's just a matter of following the established path of cultivation.

Given their ranking, they would have already received invitations from all directions.

By this time, they already had a powerful backer and lacked nothing.

But Eben Paz is an exception!

His aptitude was below average among the top ten students, but he was born with exceptional talent.

His two uncles established the Flame Legion, a super mercenary organization.

They are two members of parliament! They have monopolized the only base city on the African continent!

His background actually surpasses that of 99% of martial artists on Earth.

So although others despised him in their hearts, they all respected him on the surface and even fawned over him.

His martial arts aptitude was actually not very good, and far inferior to that of his two uncles.

Despite having various resources, we have reached our limit at this stage.

He usually experiences a lot of mental stress, so he uses all his holidays to practice hard.

But just when he was in his last year, when he wanted to make every minute count as ten, Bai Yang arrived!

In theory, every student staying on campus during the holidays can freely apply to use the gravity chamber.

However, some staff members of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy learned of Bai Yang's importance through various channels.

As a result, various subconscious "adjustments" emerged, and the only ancient civilization gravity chamber could never be booked.

By the time it was almost the end of January, even the most oblivious students had noticed something was wrong.

This naturally infuriated Eben Paz.

For some people with a keen eye, the long-awaited opportunity has finally arrived.
