40,000 Years of Cultivation

When Su Changfa was meditating, Li Yao also sat cross-legged beside him.

The milky white light shone in from the side window, illuminating the floating dust lingering around him, as if he was covered with a light golden veil.

Hearing Su Changfa’s request, Li Yao grinned: "I have just said that, legally speaking, there is no charge for imprisoning Senior Su, not to mention that you are still willing to cooperate with us. Of course, I will try my best to strive for the best for you. treatment."

"You are definitely not a prisoner, prisoner of war, or enemy spy of the Star Federation. You can rest assured of this."

"Perhaps Senior Su will feel that the so-called'law' and'morality' are only applicable to one's own country. When the two countries are confronting each other, of course they do everything they can and do not need to be subject to any restrictions!"

"But I don't think so."

"Whether it is the true human empire or the Star Alliance, we all originated from the greatest human nation'Xinghai Empire' ten thousand years ago, and we all have inherited the Xinghai Empire's legacy to restore the former glory of human civilization and make it even more Bright and dazzling ambition!"

"I feel that even if a war really breaks out between us, it will only be a civil war of human civilization, a war for the right track, orthodoxy and development direction!"

"Such a'civil war' is completely different from the endless race wars we face when facing alien races in the starry sky."

"What I want to defend is not a planet, a piece of land, or a city in the Star Federation, but the spirit of the Federation, the spirit of the cultivator, and the spirit of human civilization!"

"Since the Flying Star Realm is not part of the Stars and Yao Federation, and Senior Su has not acted hostile to the Stars and Yao Federation, then, let Senior Su be treated appropriately, it is also a small manifestation of this'spirit'. !"

"To trample on such a spirit is equivalent to asking me to destroy a city in the Federation with my own hands. It is absolutely impossible."

"Therefore, I will do my best to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Senior Su, whether we have ever fought side by side or not, whether we have forged a'good bond'.

"Just now I communicated with the former director of the Federal Secret Sword Bureau for a long time. In the situation like Senior Su, if you are willing to cooperate with us, you will be completely free to live in the Starry Federation."

"Of course, for a long period of time, residential surveillance and communication monitoring are inevitable, but they will never affect your normal life."

"According to my idea, you can even go out to work, teach and educate people in universities, and give lectures! A master in the Yuanying period, ordinary universities, please do not invite you!"

"what did you say?"

Su Changfa couldn't believe his ears. After thinking about it, he quickly said, "Don't make a mistake, even if I am willing to cooperate with you to a certain extent, it does not mean that I have given up the idea of ​​a cultivator! I am one A famous immortal cultivator will always be, and there is absolutely no possibility of transforming into a cultivator!"

"I know."

Li Yao smiled and said, "So what? Our federation does not have a law to convict for words, nor does it do anything because of a certain'identity'. As Senior Su said,'Xiuxian' itself is not guilty. , You can fix it if you like."

"If you really set me free, give me the right to speak--"

Su Changfa gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely preach the truth of the avenue of cultivating immortals in the Stars and Yao Federation, and transform more immortal cultivators!"

Li Yao said lightly: "I hope so."

Su Changfa was completely stunned: "Are you not going to stop my mouth?"

"The mouth can be blocked, but the'thought' is invisible and pervasive."

Li Yao said seriously, "As the federal and empire have more frequent contacts, and finally use the method of'war' to make the ultimate contact, the avenue of cultivators will definitely spread on a large scale, and you will be blocked by yourself. What's the use of your mouth?"

"There is no power that can stop the proliferation of a kind of thought. Even if everyone's mouth is blocked, people can still keep their eyes on the way! And the more blocked, the more people will be curious about this kind of thinking, and they will spontaneously. To explore and absorb."

"After the brainwashing of Senior Su, and the instillation of those indistinguishable stories, I have to admit that the'Xiuxian Avenue' is a specious, extremely attractive, and bewitching thought!"

"This kind of thinking is very dangerous!"

"I've been thinking about it. Now we can find a way to stop Senior Su's mouth, but if all the people in the Federation don't know anything about the'Xiuxian Avenue', in case your expedition fleet arrives, it will start. 'Collective brainwashing', Xiuxian Avenue spread like a flash flood, can we resist it?"

“Since it can’t be blocked, it’s better to make it public as soon as possible, so that federal citizens can get in touch with the living cultivators and the avenue of cultivating immortals as soon as possible. Demonstrate that Xiuxian and Xiuzhen are right or wrong!"

"Senior Su must know the'vaccine'. The vaccine itself is also a pathogenic microorganism, but it can activate the human immune system and make people resistant to higher-strength viruses and bacteria!"

"I hope Senior Su can also become a'vaccine', which can arouse the federation's'immunity' against Xiuxian Avenue!"

"This is also the reason why I will try my best to restore Senior Su's freedom!"

"Of course, Senior Su must maintain unshakable confidence in Xiuxian Avenue, so I should accept my suggestion even more, because your Avenue is correct. No matter how we debate, we will end up on Xiuxian Avenue in the end."

"Then, you confessed some information in exchange for the opportunity to preach freely and publicly. This is definitely an act that is beneficial to the national interests of the true human empire, right?"

Su Changfa's eye sockets were deeply sunken.

Li Yao's words caused him to fall into a very tangled dilemma.

"The'variables' you mentioned are really too much to calculate. For a while, I don't know if the benefits of allowing the Federation to rise will outweigh the disadvantages of the empire."

Half a day later, the old cultivator confessed in this confrontation and chose a slow strategy. "I need to live in the Federation for a period of time and understand how your cultivation world works before I can make a choice."

"If your Xingyao Federation, Panlong Civilization, Yaocha Civilization, and Wu Yingming are all the same, and the mud can't support the wall, then there is no need for everyone to cooperate."

Li Yao shook his head: "I can't persuade the Secret Sword Bureau to let you go out easily. At least you have to come up with some key information for exchange, and it must be verifiable information, such as the control and refining of the war base. method!"

"If you can use this critical piece of information to prove your sincerity in cooperation, set you free, and give you time to study the history and society of the Star Federation, it may not be impossible!"

"Anyway, the full-scale contact between the Federation and the empire is still at least nearly a hundred years away, and the intelligence within the empire will be slowly discussed in the future."

Su Changfa looked at his crumpled fingers, pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Friend Li Daoist, whether you believe it or not, I really admire your methods and personality!"

"Since you are willing to speak frankly and honestly, I am not willing to lie to you and waste each other's time."

"I can't say much about the key intelligence of the real human empire, it's just some superficial and general talk."

Li Yao smiled and said: "How is it possible, Senior Su don't lie to me anymore! No matter how powerful the real human empire is, Master Yuan Ying will not be a common soldier everywhere, right? Senior Su is both a Yuan Ying and has been entrusted with important tasks. Controlling such a war base to explore, and want to come to the empire is also a figure with status, how can you not know the least bit of secrets?"

Su Changfa knocked on his head: "Pay attention to my words. I didn't say that I ‘don’t know’, I only said that I ‘can’t say’. It’s not that I don’t want to, but I’m incapable of saying it.”

Li Yao blinked: "I can't say, what do you mean?"

"It means that before I set off, I used secret methods to confine a lot of critical information deep in my brain."

Su Changfa said calmly, "You can understand that I am suffering from'selective amnesia' and have forgotten some things, and someone else tries to forcibly turn on this part of the memory cells, it is very likely to trigger the prohibition and cause my instant brain death."

"Why, why?"

Now, it was Li Yao's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Isn't it easy? Just to prevent this situation from happening!"

Su Changfa said naturally, "The sea of ​​stars is vast and perilous, even if the empire's masters of immortality traverse thousands of stars to explore, they will inevitably not fall into desperation! In case of being captured by a hostile force, telling the empire’s key secrets, wouldn’t it? 'Stealing chickens won't lose their rice'?"

"This has nothing to do with the loyalty of the immortal cultivator. The soul-searching supernatural powers of these years are too powerful. No matter how loyal and loyal the immortal cultivator is, it can't stand it."

"Therefore, before we set off, we will carefully search the spirits and seal some important memories that have nothing to do with the mission. After the mission is completed and returned to the empire, we will use a special magic weapon to unlock this part of the memory. This will be foolproof. !"

Li Yao scratched his hair vigorously.

He could understand why Professor Mo Xuan and others had not parsed out much valuable information after devouring the "Star Child" last time in the Flying Star Realm.

It seems that Star Child, like Su Changfa, sealed a lot of key memories before setting off.

"I remember now that there are no more things about the real human empire than a college student at Imperial University. Most of them are conceptual and overall things, about the distribution of the empire’s forces, the jump coordinates of each world, and the Xinghai Channel. The detailed refining process of various magic weapons...These detailed and professional things have all been sealed!"

Su Changfa looked at Li Yao very calmly.

Just like Li Yao looked at him very calmly just now.

Li Yao gritted his teeth and said: "These things are enough! What about the war base? You are the captain of the'Qingyang', you can't even remember its control and refining methods, right?"
