40,000 Years of Cultivation

Without waiting for Li Yao’s answer, Cui Lingfeng thought of another possibility: “Shengmeng? I heard that the latest generation of humanoids in the Sangmeng can already simulate all the emotions of normal humans. Come?"

Although the enemy's enemy may not be a friend, Cui Lingfeng's attitude towards the Covenant Alliance is definitely slightly better than that of the real human empire.

Li Yao scratched his head: "I am neither a member of the new federation, nor an empire, nor a member of the Holy Alliance. Although there is no direct evidence, you will know if you think about it, the speaker. The reason why I am here is completely coincidental. You randomly selected me to check the'lie detector', and then you can take me by your side! Whether I am a Federation, Empire or Holy Alliance, it is impossible for me to be so powerful as an unknown prophet. Guess your random decision. ?"

Cui Lingfeng stunned slightly: "It makes sense. For the sake of confidentiality, I really didn't plan in advance which instrument refiner would check the'polygraph'. Originally, I wanted to get the list of professors from the instrument refinement department of Xinghai University at the last minute. One of them was randomly selected. After reading Professor Rod’s analysis report, I suddenly thought of calling Professor Rod over. I’m afraid it’s more confidential and safe. No one can know my true purpose, so it’s impossible. Do tricks on Professor Rod!"

"Even if you are a Saint League member, it is impossible to know this decision in advance, because even I didn't expect it!"

"What's more, there is no reason for the Saint Alliance people to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to go to the rear of the empire. This is basically a poor country on the shore of the sea, not the most critical battlefield!"

Li Yao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Chairperson Cui is right."

"It's not the Federation, the Empire, or the Holy League, so who are you?"

Cui Lingfeng stared deeply at Li Yao, especially his ordinary hands that had been restored to their original form. "You are very proficient in dismantling and analyzing magic weapons. You can even vaguely imitate Professor Rod's style, and you have With such a powerful combat power, Xuan Su is considered a first-rate master on the Firefly, but in front of you, you don’t even have the courage to escape! You should be a'dual material element infant' who has reached the highest level in both the battle and refining realms. Right? I don’t know that there is a master like you in Xinghai Beach? Who are you, whose interests are you, and what is the purpose of sneaking into the Firefly? Since you saved me, you must negotiate a deal with me?"

Li Yao blinked his eyes and said: "You think too much, Chairperson Cui. I said it was just a coincidence. I really think that everyone is a cultivator and saved you. Of course, my friends and I. I want to talk about a deal, but I'm not looking for you."

"..." Cui Lingfeng was stunned.

Li Yao gave a dry cough and said, "Of course there is no need to conceal our identity. You will know it soon anyway, but you may not believe it if you say it—"

Cui Lingfeng: "Why don't you talk about it first?"

Li Yao hesitated and said, "Uh, we are the Red Lotus people, the cultivators from the'Red Lotus Realm'."

Cui Lingfeng frowned deeply: "Red Lotus World?"

"Yes, that is a trivial little world."

Li Yao said, “Because our star is extremely unstable, there are super-large-scale solar winds from time to time, and the living environment is extremely harsh. Even on the only barely habitable planet, our parent star, Red Lotus Star, it often To suffer from natural disasters like the fury of the red lotus, even in the Xinghai Empire 10,000 years ago, the red lotus realm was not developed on a large scale. Only a very small number of residents depended on planting some cash crops that could only grow in high-heat environments. Breeding Yan-type spirit beasts for a living."

"Fortunately, the battle of the apocalypse ten thousand years ago, the earth-shattering battle between the emperor and the apocalypse did not affect our red lotus world."

"After ten thousand years, the Xinghai Empire completely collapsed, and the Xinghai Republic struggled to rebuild and develop, but it did not have time to explore our small world. In fact, the original purpose of your Firefly was not to find us. Is it in the small world outside the center of Xinghai?"

"We have developed alone for ten thousand years in an extremely harsh environment. The stellar flames have destroyed our civilization time and time again, keeping our civilization at a very low level of barely survival. People can only use the simplest magic weapon. Fighting with your own flesh and blood is basically, uh, not much different from the legendary ancient repair era."

"We have spent ten thousand years in a muddle-headed manner. Although we have heard of the distant legends of the Xinghai Empire, we have also hoped that the advanced human civilization in the center of the Xinghai will bring us new hope, but in the end what we are waiting for is ——The conqueror of the true human empire."

"The real human empire has annexed the red lotus world, and the cultivators destroyed our homeland and ravaged our compatriots! The strength of the empire cannot be resisted by us cultivators who are still in the Middle Ages. Countless red lotus cultivators are fighting the empire. Most of the survivors were transformed into immortal cultivators, joined the ranks of the imperial army, and established a new brutal rule!"

"Only a handful of people, including me, we were lucky enough to grab a starship of the real human empire, and captured many warship soldiers on it, and learned the skills to control the starship."

"We took advantage of the imperial army to escape from the Red Lotus Realm, perhaps leaving our home forever. I will never forget that day, it was 443 years ago."

Li Yao's eye sockets gradually turned red, but there were no tears in his eye sockets, as if his tears had long been evaporated by the angry red lotus.

There are almost no flaws in these words.

Because the red lotus world is real, the moody stars and natural disasters in the red lotus world have slowed the development of the civilization of the red lotus world. Many areas are in the Middle Ages. This is also true. The conquering wars of the Red Lotus Realm are all true.

The Xingyao Federation had captured some imperial troops on the Claw Fleet of Heiyelan ten years ago, and just ask a prisoner to inquire about it, and the existence of the Red Lotus Realm can be confirmed.

Of course, in the Red Lotus world four or five hundred years ago, whether there was such a small group of cultivators who robbed an Imperial Army starship and fled their homeland--this is simply something that cannot be verified.

Cui Lingfeng fell into deep thought, and said noncommittal: "What then?"

"We are almost like a Firefly that has shrunk many times, hiding in Tibet in the Middle East of Xinghai, evading the imperial army."

Li Yao said, "But we are too weak, and the experience of navigating the starship is extremely inadequate. It can't be compared with the Firefly. Within a few years, the cultivators who escaped fell one by one, leaving only a dozen people."

"After more than a dozen of us discussed it, we all thought that this could not go on. The imperial army's pursuit and killing is still second. Our starship is too insignificant. It is a dust in the star sea. The imperial army wants to catch us. It's difficult; the biggest problem is that the surviving more than a dozen people have a low level of cultivation, and the resources consumed every day are astronomical. The materials on board were originally small, and it really couldn't stand our consumption."

"If things go on like this, everyone will either kill each other, stage a cannibalistic tragedy, or be forced to surrender to the empire."

"We neither wanted to kill each other nor surrender to the empire. We had to make a desperate move. We set the starship's destination to the Star Beach and switched to the automatic cruise mode. Then everyone entered the hibernation cabin and had a chance. ."

"In this way, all of us were in hibernation. We allowed the starship to drift for more than four hundred years. Until the end, the starship scanned the vicinity and sent extremely strong psychic fluctuations-later we did not know that it was The space ripples that swelled when the Celestial Realm and the Blood Demon Realm merged, we were awakened by the starship’s master crystal brain, and we were secretly submerged here, the Dragon Snake Star Territory."

"When we first arrived, we didn't know exactly what this place was, whether it was another territory of the empire, so we decided to dress up in disguise, stay incognito, and take a good look at the Dragon and Snake Star Territory."

"When we discovered that there was a powerful cultivator nation, the Starlight Federation, and we were ready to fight against the real human empire, we were all ecstatic. Naturally, we were born to join forces with the Starlight Federation, and even, uh, even joined the Federation to deal with it together. The empire, I hope that one day I can go back to the Red Lotus Realm."

"However, we don't want to go directly to the federal government, because...because..."

Cui Lingfeng said: "Because you have concerns. On the one hand, you are worried that the federal people will not believe you, and you will suspect that you are imperial spies, imprisoning you and interrogating you, maybe you escaped with a lot of secret treasures and magical powers of the Red Lotus world. It must not be told to outsiders; on the other hand, you are worried that you will be squeezed out and driven by the Federation, and even be used as cannon fodder; on the other hand, you are also worried about whether the Xingyao Federation is an ideal one. , The real cultivator country, and does it resist the strength of the empire, right?"

Li Yao pretended to be surprised: "How do you know?"

Cui Lingfeng smiled bitterly: "Because what you are worried about is exactly what I am worried about. Okay, please keep talking."

Li Yao licked his chapped lips and said: "You are right. We are the last hope of the Red Lotus world. When we escaped from our hometown, of course we carried a lot of...the treasures of the Red Lotus civilization. I didn't want these things. Fall into the hands of others, whether the Empire or the Federation."

"The defensive heart is indispensable. At least, we don't want to lose all our secrets before we know whether the Star Federation is a truly trustworthy nation of cultivators."

"At this moment, we inquired about the Firefly in Yulong City. Then, in the Magic Treasure Mall, I accidentally met Tang Xiaoxing, the daughter of Captain Tang Dingyuan."
