Chapter 1427: Chapter 760: The Ancients Relied on Cultivation Techniques, the Moderns Rely on Technology
A family with an elder is like having a treasure.
Ling Yurong, despite her youthful appearance, has lived from the Ancient Era to present day. Though she slept through some of it, the experiences from the Ancient Era remain invaluable even now.
Liang Yuan gained a lot of crucial information from her.
For the next evolution stage of gene recombination, he now has a clear concept.
“After unifying Linjiang City and stabilizing the Floating Island territory, I will dedicate all my time to cultivation of gene recombination, quickly elevating it to 100% status.”
“I wonder if there are more efficient methods to enhance cultivation progress, besides the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device.”
Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered as he suddenly looked at Ling Yurong and asked, “Did you have any methods for rapidly enhancing gene recombination progress during the Ancient Era?”
Ling Yurong nodded slightly, “Yes, quite a lot actually.”
Liang Yuan’s eyes lit up instantly, and he began to inquire immediately, “What are the methods?”
“Mainly various cultivation techniques.”
Liang Yuan was stunned and a bit surprised, “Cultivation techniques?”
The term was truly unexpected for him.
From awakening superpowers until now, Liang Yuan and others have been absorbing superpower energy from the world in a step-by-step manner.
The only cultivation method was the Yangshan Gene Activation Technique, which he found as a special method inside that ruler, and its principles were still based on runes.
Now Ling Yurong suddenly mentioned cultivation techniques, making him feel like he had stumbled into a magical world.
He became interested and asked immediately, “What is a cultivation technique?”
Ling Yurong explained, “After awakening superpowers, Ancient Superpower Users generally experienced a significant increase in lifespan.”
“Over countless days and nights, people gradually explored ways to quickly enhance gene recombination and summarized some skills, finally extracting various cultivation techniques.”
“The reason there are various cultivation techniques is mainly because everyone’s genetic map differs, requiring different methods to enhance cultivation progress.”
“Cultivation techniques aren’t universal, for example, a Water Attribute Superpower User’s water attribute technique can only be cultivated by someone with the corresponding genetic map.”
“Others who attempt cultivation won’t succeed and might even experience madness.”
“Take me for example, I cultivate the Beiming Frozen Ruins Scripture, a technique geared specifically towards Ice Attribute Superpower Users, which causes the ice attribute gene within us to exhibit more active reactions after cultivation.”
“In future gene recombination, we just need to select genes from those highly active ones.”
“Of course, there are very powerful top-tier techniques that directly enhance Spiritual Power, making your perception more acute.”
“Some people use rune arrays to force specific types of genes within them to become active, thereby speeding up gene recombination progress and increasing the success rate.”
“There are also some extreme cultivation methods that directly utilize harsh environments to stimulate internal genes, or to achieve a state of absolute focus by concentrating one’s energy.”
“In our era, without the technological advances of this era, we could only utilize these methods for cultivation.”
Liang Yuan, after listening, felt these enhancement methods indeed present a direction; he hadn’t considered this path before.
However, each era has its distinct features.
Ling Yurong’s era relied on techniques for enhancing gene recombination, while people of this era are more adept at using technology means for similar enhancements.
In essence, they are the same.
Both seek specific genes within the human body, separating them from miscellaneous ones to increase gene recombination success rate.
The difference lies merely in the methods employed.
Ancients used techniques, while moderns leverage technology.
Of course, there are distinctions here too.
Techniques of ancient Superpower Users suit only their cultivators, even differing from person to person.
These techniques are closely related to the genetic map.
Different genetic maps cannot mix techniques.
In contrast, technological means have a much broader applicability.
For instance, the Yangshan Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device, not only Liang Yuan can cultivate with it, but the entire Yangshan can do so.
This is the advantage of technology.
“I wonder if there are similar genetic techniques in the system that Ling Yurong mentioned.”
Liang Yuan thought to himself, glancing at his system interface where the points once again reached a million.
However, after checking prior to reaching a million points, he found no gene recombination techniques among the lottery items within this interval.
“Let’s save up more points and see if I can find a genetic technique suitable for the Hundred-Change Demon Ape.”
“For now, I’ll rely on the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device.”
Ling Yurong suddenly asked, “Mr. Liang, do you need techniques?”
Liang Yuan looked at her and asked, “Of course, do you have any?”
“Before I fell asleep, it was the end era for superpower users, floods had receded, and celestial rivers in the sky had disappeared.”
“Superpower energy had gradually dried up along with the celestial river’s disappearance.”
“Back then, many cultivation methods from the Ancient Era were rediscovered.”
“Unfortunately, with no superpower energy, even having a technique wouldn’t allow one to awaken superpowers.”
“I paid attention at the time and collected quite a few techniques; if you need them, I’ll write them out for you later.”
Liang Yuan was delighted instantly, asking, “What types of techniques do you have?”
“I’ve gathered mainly Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth Five Elements techniques, with some for Strength Attribute and Speed Attribute as well. What does Mr. Liang need?”
Liang Yuan was about to mention needing a Hundred-Change Demon Ape genetic technique when a sense of caution arose within him.
Externally, he exhibits a gene form that is ever-changing, encompassing all Five Elements.
Many cannot guess the type of genetic species he possesses, nor do they know what genetic map he mainly cultivates.
Ling Yurong suddenly asked this, wouldn’t he be exposing the secret of the “Hundred-Change Demon Ape” Genetic Map?
In Liang Yuan’s mind, the existence of the system is his biggest secret.
The “Hundred-Change Demon Ape” Genetic Map is similarly his second biggest secret.
Because once the genetic map of a superpower user is deciphered by someone, it’s highly likely to be targeted by enemies.
Although the “Hundred-Change Demon Ape” focuses on transformation, its main feature is countless variations, highly adaptable and not easily targeted.
However, Liang Yuan still doesn’t want to casually reveal his genetic map.
He thought for a while and said, “Write down all the cultivation techniques you know, we have so many superpower users in Yangshan, quite a few should need them.”
Ling Yurong’s eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment, she just nodded.
She might not have intended to harm Liang Yuan, just purely curious about what Liang Yuan’s genetic map is.
She has lived for so long, seen various genetic maps, yet has never seen a superpower user like Liang Yuan who possesses so many genetic forms.
Unfortunately, Liang Yuan is too vigilant, she has already been implanted with the soul imprisonment rune, yet Liang Yuan still harbors caution against her.
With the soul imprisonment rune, she can’t possibly harbor any intention of harming Liang Yuan.
The sound of gunfire behind gradually subsided, not long after, Zhang Yujiang came over to Liang Yuan with blood on his body.
“Mr. Liang, everything is handled.”
Liang Yuan nodded and asked, “Did you encounter resistance?”
“Yes, a few old stubborn ones refused to let go of their little power, I had no choice but to kill them.”
“These old folks had some means to control their subordinates, those people fought back before dying, but all in vain.”
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, given Zhang Yujiang’s strength, there’s naturally no threat to him, but to the people on this ark, he’s a true expert.
“Well done, quickly handle all the restless ones cleanly.”
“When we reach Cloud Mist Island, I’ll have you make contact with the people from Yangshan.”
“Understood.”
The ark sailed at full speed, and within ten minutes, it arrived at Cloud Mist Island.
On Cloud Mist Island, the original troops here had been sent to Miyuan Rainforest and Yellow Earth Divine Origin.
While the residents of Yellow Earth Divine Origin and Miyuan Rainforest were sent here.
Ding Yan, Shi Haizhu, and others were arranging related matters.
As the ark arrived, Ding Yan, Shi Haizhu, and Feng Jiangong immediately came out to greet.
Ding Yan flew over, and seeing Liang Yuan, immediately asked, “How’s it? Did you capture Zhang Yujiang?”
Liang Yuan smiled and pointed to the military-clad Zhang Yujiang not far on the deck, saying, “That’s him.”
Upon hearing, Ding Yan looked at Zhang Yujiang, saw him standing respectfully to the side, humble and obedient, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “He’s… surrendered?”
Liang Yuan laughed, “Yes, the heart core has been handed over, this Cloud Mist Island will be our Yangshan Shelter’s fifth floating island!”
Ding Yan also suddenly laughed, “From now on, the whole Linjiang will only be our Yangshan Shelter.”
Liang Yuan also laughed, “Uniting Linjiang City is just the first step; next, we must focus on our own development, not on rapidly expanding territory.”
“I wanted to mention that guarding the territory of Linjiang is the top priority, we have too few people, the current territory is already enough for our people’s development.”
“The immediate priority is actually to consider occupying more floating islands and quickly gaining air dominance.”
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, Ding Yan’s thoughts aligned with his.
He also had this plan, “No rush, Mengya Company and Carey Technology Company suffered heavy losses this time, they can’t attack us again anytime soon.”
“First, handle the population arrangement, then I need to take a group to Flying Manta Island to focus on developing the air force plan.”
“Moreover, the researchers taken by Zhang Yujiang have been captured back, I need our research department to immediately connect with these people to quickly digest the military’s technological achievements.”
After every victorious battle, there’s a period of post-war harvest, and it also requires time to digest the spoils.
Liang Yuan didn’t involve himself in the subsequent matters, directly handing them all to Shi Haizhu and the others to deal with.
At this point, Feng Jiangong came over, “Mr. Liang, I’d like to go talk with Zhang Yujiang.”
Liang Yuan glanced at Zhang Yujiang and said, “Go ahead, he’s surrendered and pledged allegiance.”
Feng Jiangong nodded slightly, “Alright, I won’t do anything.”
He walked to Zhang Yujiang, who also looked up at him.
Their eyes met, Zhang Yujiang’s expression was a bit awkward, he sighed, “Say what you want.”
Feng Jiangong shook his head slightly, “Everyone has their own aspirations, when I chose to give up Cloud Mist Island and join Yangshan, you didn’t say anything, what right do I have to comment on you.”
Zhang Yujiang felt uncomfortable hearing this, he said, “But I abandoned the others, took all the equipment and supplies.”
Feng Jiangong nodded, “This you do deserve criticism, I clearly told you to take care of those old fellows when I left.”
Zhang Yujiang sighed, “These people are just like you, stubborn, if I tell them to give up Cloud Mist Island, they’ll likely spread the word immediately.”
“The ark is only so big, can’t fit everyone.”
“I had to make choices.”
Feng Jiangong leaned against the railing, sighed, “Remember when the great flood broke out and the army was in chaos? You were the first to come to me.”
“At that time you said, we mustn’t be chaotic, if we are, the whole Linjiang will be chaotic.”
“You said we should immediately suppress the rebellion and help everyone through the crisis, we’re the people’s soldiers.”
Zhang Yujiang remained silent, feeling ashamed, after a long while, he sighed, “I failed everyone, failed our beliefs.”
Feng Jiangong shook his head, patted Zhang Yujiang’s shoulder, and smiled, “It’s not too late, follow Mr. Liang.”
“He’s someone trustworthy, things we couldn’t accomplish, he can.”
“At least so far, he’s done better than us, hasn’t he?”
