Super Gene Hunting Ground

Unknowingly, two months had passed for Yang Xiao in the Heavenly Book Pavilion.

In these two months, Yang Xiao immersed himself in the pavilion’s books every day, reading大量原始 cultivation notes left by powerhouses, as well as all kinds of Cultivation Techniques.

Yang Xiao had once spent two full years in Flying Leopard Academy reading through all its collections; he already had a very comprehensive understanding of all kinds of Genetic Evolution knowledge.

However, only after coming to the Heavenly Book Pavilion did he realize that the Genetic Evolution books in Flying Leopard Academy were just the tip of the iceberg, most of them popular science–type books.

Whereas the books here, aside from the precious Secret Technique Manuals, were mostly secret records and insights left by Witch Star powerhouses over thousands of years; they had very strong practical, hands-on guidance for Genetic Cultivation.

The three white‑haired old men on Yang Xiao’s floor had also become fairly familiar with him.

Now Gu Jie could chat a few sentences with Yang Xiao every day.

The other two were named Gu Hang and Gu Zhen; like Gu Jie, they were all Elders of the previous Elder Court. After leaving the Elder Court, they had been stationed long‑term in the Heavenly Book Pavilion, researching Genetic Evolution Cultivation Techniques, hoping to find a way to break through to the Saint Level Realm.

It was just that after studying for decades, none of them had managed to find an effective breakthrough method.

In recent years, Gu Jie had shifted to studying Immortal Techniques of Spiritual Consciousness, hoping to be like the Dwarf Star people—condensing his own Spiritual Consciousness, separating it from the flesh, finding a new host, passing it down generation after generation, achieving a kind of Immortal existence in terms of thought.

The other two, Gu Hang and Gu Zhen, had been studying the cultivation insights, notes, and related biographies left by eight Saint Level Supreme powerhouses five hundred years ago, hoping to find a breakthrough point.

Around noon, Yang Xiao was reading in the first‑floor hall when Gu Bo walked in.

”Yang Xiao, how’s the first‑stage Skin Renewal of your White Elephant Divine Skill coming along?”

Yang Xiao smiled and said,

”Old Gu, what took you so long? You were gone ten days and I already finished cultivating it, made me wait for you forever.”

Gu Bo was startled.

”Impossible, right? You finished the Skin Renewal cultivation in just ten days?”

”Mm, if you don’t believe me, ask your second uncle.”

Yang Xiao reached out and pointed at Gu Jie.

Gu Bo turned his head to look at Gu Jie.

”Second Uncle, is that true?”

Gu Jie nodded.

”That’s right, this brat really did complete the Skin Renewal cultivation.”

”That fast?”

Gu Bo exclaimed in amazement, staring at Yang Xiao in disbelief.

Gu Bo called Yang Xiao alone into the Cultivation Room and briefly went over what had happened lately: the entire Witch Star was organizing a large‑scale migration, with dozens of Interstellar Transport Ships continuously sending migrants to Purple Origin Star.

According to Yang Xiao’s plan, Gu Bo had brought Xia Luo back from Purple Origin Star to Witch Star.

”Yang Xiao, I brought your compatriot from Earth, Xia Luo, back. He’s waiting outside for you right now. The people we’ve arranged to be part of the migration to Earth are almost ready as well.”

”Good.”

Yang Xiao and Gu Bo walked out of the Heavenly Book Pavilion and entered a building, where they saw Xia Luo.

As soon as Xia Luo saw Yang Xiao, he immediately walked over excitedly, and the two hugged each other tightly.

”Xia Luo, is everything on Purple Origin Star going well?”

”Relax, everything’s great. Guangfu City Academy has recruited a lot of new instructors and students; it’s incredibly lively. While you were away, everyone’s Genetic Evolution cultivation improved a lot. I estimate that with another year or two of cultivation, we’ll be able to break through to the Empire Middle Level Realm.”

For Xia Luo, being able to break through to Empire Middle Level in just a few years was already extremely fast.

”How are Long Xiang, her father, and her brother?”

”They’re doing very well. Long Xiang is awesome now, at the Empire Level Advanced realm. She takes her father and brother into the Primitive Forest to let out a few roars and those Demon Beasts all tremble in fear.

Even Ah Bao says that in the future the job of managing the Demon Beasts can be handed over to the three of them.”

”Heh, later I’ll arrange for Long Xiang to take her father and brother back to Earth. That’s her true homeland anyway, and she can also help Huang Wen and the others hold Xuanming Country and protect Earth.”

Xia Luo listened and nodded, agreeing with Yang Xiao’s arrangements.

”Yang Xiao, you called me to Witch Star—there’s something you need me to do?”

”Yeah. Witch Star is now facing an alien invasion, and it’s very likely we won’t be able to hold out. I’ve already killed Long Aotian of Witch Star, the one who invaded Earth back then, as well as the Emperor of the Great Dragon Empire. The leaders of Witch Star have also expressed their willingness to reconcile with us Earthlings. For the next ten years, the Genetic Store will provide Genetic Potions to everyone on Earth free of charge.”

”What? There’s a good thing like that?”

Xia Luo could hardly believe it.

Off to the side, Gu Bo said,

”It’s absolutely true. Our Genetic Store Headquarters has already issued the order. In a few months, the new decree will be transmitted to Earth. At that time, everyone on Earth will be able to enjoy Genetic Potions for free.”

Xia Luo also knew Gu Bo, but still didn’t know Gu Bo’s true identity.

Yang Xiao smiled and said,

”Old Gu is actually the Chief Elder of the Genetic Store Headquarters Elder Council.”

”What?!”

Xia Luo’s eyes almost popped out.

”So? Back then you really failed to recognize Mount Tai, didn’t you?”

”I really did!”

”Xia Luo, the reason I called you here this time is to have you lead a ship of Witch Star migrants to immigrate to Earth. That way we’re helping disperse Witch Star’s migration, so they don’t get wiped out in one go by the Dwarf Star people.”

”Witch Star people immigrating to Earth?”

Xia Luo immediately tensed up a little.

”I know what you’re worried about. You’re afraid the Witch Star people will be like before and try to control Earth again. Don’t worry. Purple Origin Star is now in our hands, and a large number of Witch Star migrants are moving to Purple Origin Star. If they dare cause trouble on Earth, the Witch Star migrants on Purple Origin Star will be our hostages.”

Yang Xiao said this for Gu Bo to hear.

With Yang Xiao’s current Emperor Level Transcendent Realm, plus the Wild Man King and the hundreds of thousands of guards on Purple Origin Star, he had plenty of confidence.

Gu Bo laughed and said,

”Yang Xiao, relax. We Witch Star people love peace as well. The ones migrating this time are all youths; most are at King Level Realm. A mere few tens of thousands of them are no match for all of humanity on Earth.

What I’m hoping is that you can come up with a plan to protect the Witch Star people from being attacked by Earthlings instead.”

Yang Xiao nodded and said,

”I’ve already thought about that. Last time Long Aotian carried out a massacre on Earth, killing more than half the residents on Nanzhou Island. Here’s what we’ll do, Xia Luo: go back on my behalf and settle the Witch Star migrants on Nanzhou Island.

Nanzhou Island is surrounded by ocean, separated from the other continents of Earth. Everyone can stay out of each other’s way, live in peace, and slowly integrate over time.”

”Alright, that plan works.”

Gu Bo and Xia Luo both felt it was a good arrangement.

”Also, after you return to Earth, you don’t need to go back to Purple Origin Star for now. Just exercise the authority of Earth King in my place. Let Long Yongjun, Zhou Qiang, Zhao Benling, and the dozens of Emperor Level experts who have already returned to Earth assist you in managing the planet.”

Xia Luo hesitated for a moment.

”Isn’t Long Yongjun managing things quite well right now? If I go back and take his position, won’t that be bad?”

Yang Xiao smiled, took out a Light and Shadow Recording Jade Disc, and handed it to Xia Luo.

”Take this Jade Disc, summon all the leaders on Earth, and play it for them on the spot. Once they’ve seen it, they won’t have any objections.

Besides, Long Yongjun has always thought it was a hassle and never wanted to be Earth King. Once you go back, he’ll be freed. He’ll probably be overjoyed.”

Xia Luo took the Jade Token.

”Alright, since you’ve already decided, I won’t decline.”

Yang Xiao patted Xia Luo on the shoulder and said,

”Xia Luo, remember, our roots are on Earth. Build our home well. One day, when I’m done with things here, I’ll come back too.”

”Alright, you can count on me.”

”When the second batch of Witch Star migrants goes to Earth, I’ll arrange for Long Xiang to bring her father and brother back as well. With Long Xiang helping you, there shouldn’t be any problem holding Earth.

Also, you can send people to Tianzhou Forest to find the Golden Lion King and the black chimpanzee; the two of them can help you too.”

...

After Yang Xiao finished explaining everything to Xia Luo, he returned to the Heavenly Book Pavilion.

Gu Bo still needed to arrange Xia Luo’s handover with the migration team, so he led Xia Luo away.

”Old Gu, come back as soon as you’re done. I’ll need your help for the next stage of cultivating the White Elephant Divine Skill.”

”Don’t worry, I’ll be back to help you very soon.”
