Gu Bo's words played a very important role for Yang Xiao, especially the phrase "Genetic Evolution is the foundation, Ancient Martial Cultivation is secondary," which gave him a sort of epiphany.
Without the foundation of Genetic Evolution, all Ancient Martial Cultivation could only remain at the pre-apocalyptic level and wouldn't possess its current power.
Moreover, once Genetic Evolution surpassed King Level, the benefits brought by Ancient Martial Cultivation would greatly diminish.
Of course, for those below King Level, Ancient Martial Cultivation still possessed a significant advantage, so for most people, it remained an important shortcut to enhance Combat Power.
