People First

Naggs emerged from the Sinkhole No. 2, and Badun, who had misjudged the sequence standard, took the initiative to entangle Naggs, which made things much easier for Zhang Xuezhou.

The world is full of wonders; even things based on probability can increase the success rate!

Li Yingbo quickly made arrangements, and Zhang Xuezhou swiftly boarded the Airbus charter plane bound for Brampada.

Sitting on the Airbus, Luo Burang seemed very interested in the trip.

Compared to his past experiences of being forced into exchanges, this trip to the Aomeijia Alliance was entirely different in purpose and brought him a completely different feeling.

As he listened to Zhang Xuezhou's explanation of the techniques, he felt he had never even dreamed of such an ability.

"Every success comes with a potential backlash," Zhang Xuezhou said. "This kind of luck comes at a price!"

"No amount of sacrifice can outweigh the success of this," Luo Burang said. "The catalysts from the Sixth Sequence to the Seventh Sequence can not only affect you, but also many others. This will significantly reduce the demand for ferocious beast extracts. In the past, one dose of ferocious beast extract could satisfy eight or ten people. Our ferocious beast material resources will no longer be scarce!"

"That's absolutely right!"

"Once you succeed just once, even if it's only once, things will be much easier afterwards!"

Luo clenched his fists.

Just like Zhang Xuezhou's method of refining elixirs, Luo Burang was able to significantly reduce the failure rate once he succeeded on the first try.

Many things require starting from scratch; once you break through that barrier, things become simpler.

"If only Zuo Jin were still alive!"

Zhang Manqian, who was protecting them, felt a little sorry, thinking that if Zuo Jin and Zuo Luo, who made the lucky charms, were still alive, their value would be extremely high.

"Their race is special, possessing the ability to transform their destiny," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "But after the destruction of Huang Daoxian, this ability should be difficult for them to use, and they wouldn't be able to create that kind of jewelry even if they were alive."

"Then I won't feel sorry for them," Zhang Manqian said with a shrug.

"I'm not sure if my ritual will benefit others, but if we can find Huang Daoxian, that would be helpful to us," Zhang Xuezhou lamented.

"Zodiac's form is too bizarre and dangerous," Zhang Manqian said. "I wonder where it ran off to after turning into a hyena?"

"In this vast world, his whereabouts are hard to pinpoint, but as long as he appears nearby, I can still sense him and easily subdue him!"

Just like the Yang Soul incarnation that Zhu Jiuyin placed inside Zhang Xuezhou, which Zhang Xuezhou has yet to escape, the Soul-Inverting Technique he released also affects Huang Daoxian through the hyena beast, making it difficult for the latter to break free from this confinement.

By using the Soul-Stealing Technique, Zhang Xuezhou could vaguely sense that Huang Daoxian was still alive.

Zhang Xuezhou simply didn't know where Huang Daoxian was, how he was doing, or whether there was any possibility of cooperation between them.

Of course, the biggest problem is whether they can meet. After all, under the control of the Bewitching Spell, the more Huang Daoxian dislikes Zhang Xuezhou, the more the other party's thinking will be affected in a reverse way, thus liking Zhang Xuezhou more. There will be no problem with their cooperation. If the other party does not dislike Zhang Xuezhou and is not affected by the Bewitching Spell, then there will still be no problem with their cooperation.

It must be said that the wonder of the Beast Taming Sect's techniques is extremely contrary to human nature.

Seeing that Zhang Manqian and Luo Burang were very interested in various Technique Method, Zhang Xuezhou also gave a brief introduction to some of Technique Method.

The complex techniques Zhang Xuezhou learned were difficult to master, but normal Technique Method did not have such a high level of difficulty in cultivation. Even the secret techniques of the Huangsha Sect were child's play compared to the 108,000 acupoint techniques. With years of practice, one would surely achieve something.

"Judging from what you've described, that Qi and Blood Refining Technique seems to be a better fit for us," Zhang Manqian said.

"There are some commonalities, but there are actual differences," Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said, "The Qi and Blood Refining Technique is suitable for close-range combat, but the Qi and Qi and Blood it squanders originates from the body. Constant extraction will inevitably lead to a weakened body. A strike that penetrates the essence, Qi, and spirit may even burn away one's life. Very few Qi and Blood Grand Cultivators live long and healthy lives, which contradicts the way of life that our genetic evolution craves!"

"The drawbacks are too great," Luo Burang said.

"Every technique has its flaws and drawbacks," Zhang Xuezhou nodded, "And this is the same problem we are currently facing!"

"The Gene Sequence does indeed have many drawbacks. Humans imitating beasts will inevitably have its limits, and it's not a natural evolutionary path for humanity. However, humans cannot live without the stimulation of ferocious beasts to develop a resistance layer," Luo Burang said. "After experiencing Zhao Tianhua's experiment, I have doubts about the Tenth Sequence's Myriad Gods. I feel that moving to higher levels shouldn't focus on physical evolution!"

"When it comes to controlling the Eighth Sequence and the realm of the Ninth Sequence, we begin to focus on the influence of spiritual power," Zhang Xuezhou said. "This development achieves the power defined by the sequence, and the upward process also breaks away from the original development model of the Gene Sequence!"

"After the Seventh Sequence, there was no longer any reliance on blood serums and extracts from ferocious beasts. This did deviate from the original advancement path of the Gene Sequence, but in reality, it still achieved the corresponding effect," Luo Burang said.

From the perspective of cultivation development, the Gene Sequence uses exotic beast blood agents in the early stage, ferocious beast extracts in the middle stage, and stronger preparations should be used in the later stage, forming the Origin-Nurturing Pill to the Spirit-Forging Pill, and finally pushing it to the same level of advancement as the Zaohua Pill.

However, in actual development, the Gene Sequence booster encountered major problems at the stage of extracting ferocious beasts.

Even though Ren Yisheng repeatedly felt that he should rely on various extracts from ferocious beasts to 'fill the gaps', he had no means to provide such a supply.

Zhou Xin, Changkong Luo, and others endured nearly twenty years, and in the end, Ren Yisheng was the first local native to step into the Eighth Sequence.

This also led to a shift in the later development of the Gene Sequence.

"If the catalyst breakthrough leads to an abundance of ferocious beast resources, would you still choose the path of spiritual development?" Luo Burang asked with great interest.

"I only have the option of spiritual development," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "You forgot that I have weak genes. I can't create non-existent catalysts like R37 and R38!"

"That's true!"

As one of the current leaders in Gene Sequence, Zhang Xuezhou's choice corresponds to the development of sequence patterns.

R36 catalyst has trapped Luo Burang, forcing him to rely on "good luck" to solve the problem. This development approach is destined to be unsustainable.

Given other options, Zhang Xuezhou would not have chosen this route with a lower probability of success.

If Zhang Xuezhou has normal genes, then perhaps another situation would occur.

Luo Burang could only sigh at how physical factors dictated the choices made by human groups during their development.

Of course, Luo Burang did not oppose this choice. After all, he had accepted the remnants of Luo Zhong's body, and his mental strength was considerable, second only to a few people, giving him the advantage of being able to catch up later.

"Upon entering the Seventh Sequence, the true Gene Sequence resources were transformed into potions for tempering mental strength!"

Humanity's evolutionary path was illuminated at the point of physical transformation into ferocious beasts, but then it came to an abrupt halt and changed course due to resource scarcity.

Luo Burang wasn't sure what the final form of this choice would be, but he felt that this direction was becoming 'people-oriented' and he was more in agreement with this direction of development.

"Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!"

Only when the orderly welcoming sounds from the airport came did Luo Burang come back to his senses and look out the window.

At Branpeda Airport, two rows of children, totaling a hundred, stood side by side, holding flowers and shouting to welcome the distinguished guests. Grian and his group stood at the far end, waiting to greet Zhang Xuezhou and his entourage as they disembarked.

From this small incident, we can glean a glimpse into the bigger picture. Either Grein doesn't understand governance and is engaging in futile formalism, or Grein is mired in a quagmire and is hoping for a savior to rescue him.
