Super Gene Hunting Ground

Mo Yan sneered:

”Sister, you may think so, but our North Sect brothers and sisters don’t think the same. It is the era of genetic evolution, ancient martial arts are being revitalized. This is our era. With the merging of North and South Gardens of Shenming Mountain Sect, in the Jianghu, we will surely achieve great things. Together, you and I navigating through the Jianghu...”

Mo Yan’s mind conjured a beautiful picture, gallantly wandering the Jianghu with Lan Xin, gaining fame and admiration from all around.

The world of ancient martial cultivation has always existed. Even in the modern society before the apocalypse, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Shenming Mountain, Kongtong, Hua Mountain and hundreds of other large and small ancient martial cultivation sects had never ceased their cultivation and maintained contact with each other.

In modern society, the ancient martial world existed as its own entity.

”Stop, enough!”

Lan Xin timely interrupted Mo Yan’s daydreams, or else she would feel nauseous, so she calmly said:

”Senior Brother Mo Yan, that is your dream, not mine.”

”But, you cannot deny that this is also the dream of many in the Shenming Mountain Sect. Our masters and uncles have passed away, as young ancient martial cultivators, we must strive for success. In this era of genetic evolution, soon it will be the era of ancient martial cultivators, to speak arrogantly, unifying the Jianghu and even Xuanming Country might not be impossible!”

Buzz!

Yang Xiao suddenly felt his mind tremble.

Mo Yan’s last sentence deeply shocked Yang Xiao.

According to Yang Xiao’s experience, if the people in the martial arts circle can quickly gain access to evolution resources and breakthrough their genes to advanced enhanced level or even king level, then the world might truly belong to them in the future.

Perhaps the future will indeed reflect a fusion of genetic evolution and ancient martial arts, turning the entire Xuanming District into a vast Jianghu, dominated by the leader of the Jianghu.

With the explosive increase in individuals’ capabilities, extraordinary ambitions arise. Yang Xiao had once had them, so did others like Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing, and right now, so did Mo Yan.

In the current world, there are no legal rules; everything depends on martial power, and the only bit of moral restraint is slightly effective within the same faction.

Previously, due to harsh winters, everyone’s ability to travel long distances and invade each other was limited, but now as the snow melts and spring arrives, even without the Transmission Array, it’s very easy for cities close to each other to engage in warfare.

Especially now among genetic evolvers, each possessing formidable abilities, ambitions and desires are intensely inflated.

However, fortunately, with the mountains full of mutant monsters, large-scale aggressive actions among everyone are temporarily prevented. But as everyone’s evolution abilities improve, major conflicts among surviving genetic evolvers are bound to erupt.

Mo Yan’s words caused Yang Xiao’s thoughts to scatter, daydreaming wildly.

Standing beside him, Lan Xin looked at Mo Yan and coldly said:

”Senior Brother Mo Yan, I know you have grand ambitions. You can lead the brothers of North Garden of Shenming Mountain Sect to achieve your lofty ideals. As for us sisters of South Garden, we are tired of fighting and merely wish to live peacefully here, uninvolved with the world.”

Mo Yan, hearing this, eagerly responded:

”But sister, I am willing to conquer this world for us to share!”

A stark confession!

”Thank you for your good intentions, Senior Brother, but I, Lan Xin, cannot accept this. We are not on the same path. Shenming Mountain Sect’s South and North Gardens have always been separate, otherwise, we wouldn’t have split into two strands. Please return, the usual exchange between the two branches can proceed tomorrow, as it has been a tradition of Shenming Mountain Sect for centuries. As for merging the South and North Gardens, let’s not discuss it.”

A stark rejection!

”Junior Sister Lan Xin, are you really decided? Won’t you ask for the opinions of the dozens of junior sisters in the South Garden? Maybe they would like it?”

Mo Yan turned to Xue Mei and said:

”Xue Mei, don’t you want to go down the mountain to see the outside world? Outside there are four seasons, bustling cities, a modern lifestyle where you don’t even need to carry money; a smartphone can handle everything, plus various beautiful dresses, cosmetics...”

Xue Mei, stunned, looked at Mo Yan:

”Senior Brother, I’ve only been to the town at the foot of the mountain.”

”Go, the town at the foot of the mountain is simply too low, how can it compare with the outside world? Once Senior Brother unifies the Jianghu, the whole world will be ours, good isn’t it?”

”Good, good, of course good!”

Xue Mei clapped her hands and then said:

”Senior Brother, then you should hurry, I am waiting for you to unify the Jianghu. Oh, by the way, Senior Brother, there has been no electricity, no internet, even mobile phones can’t be used, and we can’t play King’s Glory either. Could you consider helping us solve the electricity and network issues?”

Mo Yan: ”...”

Lan Xin and Yang Xiao looked at Xue Mei’s naive expression and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

”You?”

Mo Yan glared sharply at Xue Mei and then said to Lan Xin:

”Junior Sister, I’ll give you one night to think over it. The sparring tomorrow morning will proceed as usual, but regarding the merger, you should also listen to our North Garden Senior Brothers’ opinions. Shenming Mountain Sect isn’t mine alone, nor is it just yours!”

After finishing his words, Mo Yan prepared to turn around and leave, then glanced at Yang Xiao with a light laugh and said:

”The Shenming Mountain Sect’s South Garden has always been strict in their rules; men and women should not touch. Even though the uncles are gone, Junior Sister, you shouldn’t break the rules, right?”

”You?”

Lan Xin’s face turned beet red with anger.

Mo Yan chuckled lightly, flared his sleeves, and strode away.

Yang Xiao watched Mo Yan leave, then glanced at the slightly angry Lan Xin and smiled faintly.

”You’re still laughing?”

Lan Xin chided.

”Heh, I can’t just get angry along with you, can I? Aren’t you the one who avoids worldly conflicts? Why bother getting upset over someone like him? People who frequently get angry tend to become uglier.”

”You?”

Lan Xin looked at Yang Xiao, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Yang Xiao asked:

”Did you have internet here before, and even played games?”

Lan Xin laughed:

”Of course, what, did you think our place was an ancient relic cut off from the world? Let me tell you, Xue Mei plays the assassin Li Bai and ranked in the top three in competitive matches.”

”Oh? What character do you play? Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao?”

Lan Xin pursed her lips and smiled:

”I don’t like it, and Master doesn’t let us play during the day. They only play for leisure during their rest.”

”Do you really have no plans to merge with Mo Yan and their group?”

”Absolutely not!”

Lan Xin shook her head resolutely, then looked up at the towering snowy peaks of Shenming Mountain, and said softly:

”Ambition is watered with blood and life. If I lead my Junior Sisters to join Mo Yan’s camp, I don’t know how many of them might die in the conflicts. Why bother?”

Yang Xiao nodded and sighed:

”This place is really nice, secluded from the world, peaceful and tranquil, with Snow Mountain and Turquoise Pool, and beauty for companionship. It truly is an excellent place to retreat. I really want to leave everything behind and live a secluded life here, not minding worldly matters.”

Lan Xin, who was by his side, felt her heart tremble slightly upon hearing this.
