The polar bear population, the number one evil force in the Glacier Restricted Area, has been eradicated, and there will be no obstacles for the rest of the trip.
As for the Arctic wolf population, they are now leaderless and are being hunted by Duobao and Gigantopithecus. From time to time, the miserable howls of Arctic wolves before their death can be heard in the distance.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest!
Su Xiaofan didn't think there was anything wrong. Back then, the cultivators were weak and were hunted down by extraordinary creatures. Now it's just the other way around.
The Glacier Restricted Area was really too big. Su Xiaofan and others had to walk for three or four days before they reached the core circle without using any techniques to move forward.
However, for Mo Zixuan and Su Xiaoxiao, this kind of country made entirely of ice and snow is also a relatively novel experience.
The restricted area of the glacier is not without plants. On the contrary, there are many rare elixirs.
It's just that most of the places where elixirs grew in the past are occupied by extraordinary creatures, making it impossible for cultivators to pick them.
Several people also gained a lot along the way. Su Xiaofan felt that he had at least 180 kilograms of elixir packed in the space.
"Hmm. Why are those people not here?"
When the group finally arrived at the space crack in the restricted area of the glacier, Su Weixuan discovered that the person who had previously occupied a corner of the crack was missing.
"They entered the spatial rift." Although Su Xiaofan's spiritual thoughts did not dare to penetrate too far into the spatial rift, they were not afraid of the edges.
At this time, Su Xiaofan discovered that four figures were hiding in the cracks in space.
As Su Xiaofan saw, these people only have shadows and no entities. In other words, it is more appropriate to say that they are in spiritual bodies now.
"How many of you can we come out and talk?"
Su Xiaofan's voice rang out in the crack in space, and then those figures felt their eyes blur, and they were already outside the crack.
"Huh? A body made of mental power?"
Su Xiaofan looked at a few people carefully, then shook his head.
No, they seem to be figures formed by absorbing spiritual energy from pure soul power, but they have no power at all.
After being pulled out by Su Xiaofan, these figures had a tendency to dissipate, slowly dissolving under the sunlight.
Wisps of spiritual energy overflowed from the cracks in the space. After being quickly absorbed by several figures, their bodies became more solid.
"Who are you, and why are you disturbing our cultivation?"
Without the physical body, these people could not even speak, but the mental fluctuations did spread their consciousness to the ears of several people.
Su Xiaofan could tell that although this person was questioning them, he was a bit stern and was obviously a little afraid of them.
"Guys, you have been here for a long time, why don't you want to communicate with us and other cultivators?"
Su Xiaofan waved his right hand lightly, and an unusually soft force sent several figures into the edge of the space crack, where they could better absorb spiritual energy.
"We don't have any malicious intent, we just want to know where you are and why you came to this place?"
Although Su Xiaofan had some guesses, he still wanted to hear the stories from these people. After all, no one knows how many years have passed since ancient times and what happened.
"Are you from my clan?"
Several figures looked at Su Xiaofan and others, and the one with the most solid body said: "You can swear an oath not to harm us, and I am willing to tell you what you asked..."
"You and I are both Chinese citizens, why should I hurt you?"
Su Xiaofan shook his head, and when he saw the looks of these people, he felt a little bit pity in his heart. These people were neither humans nor ghosts now, and he didn't know why they were like this.
"Yes, I swear, I will not harm you, etc. If I violate it, I will be struck by thunder from heaven!"
Seeing that several people looked like they didn't believe in him, Su Xiaofan made a simple oath.
Anyway, he is not afraid of thunder and lightning. To Su Xiaofan, thunder and lightning on the earth are just energy.
Seeing Su Xiaofan make a vow, the expressions of several people softened, and they no longer looked as nervous as before.
"You know this is Earth, right?"
Su Xiaofan saw that several people still didn't speak, and immediately said: "Someone has contacted you before and should have told you something..."
"Yes, as you know, I have returned to my hometown now..."
The leader nodded, with a sad look on his face, "My hometown is still the same, but you are no longer the same person as before, so how can you get out of here?"
"Xiao Fan, who are they?" Hearing this, Su Weixuan also guessed a little bit, and couldn't help but have a look of horror on his face.
"They should be the ancestors who left in ancient times."
Su Xiaofan sighed and said, "I don't know their names. Can you tell me their names?"
Although the ancient immortals and gods have been away for who knows how many years, their names and deeds have always been spread in China. Su Xiaofan felt that he might have heard of a few of them.
"You've become like this, what else do you have a name for?"
Several people shook their heads firmly and refused to tell their origins.
Also, a person who was king and ancestor in ancient times, was like this now, and even Su Xiaofan would not be willing to tell his name.
Moreover, Su Xiaofan could see that the figures and faces of these people were all wearing high crowns and had ancient looks.
Although they have lost their bodies, these people still have the aura of superiors. Obviously, they are not ordinary people even in ancient times.
"Can those people tell me what happened in ancient times?"
Su Xiaofan did not ask for their names, "And where did you go? Now that you have returned, why are you like this?"
"So you call our era ancient times?"
The leader murmured: "That's right. Although not many years have passed there, it has been countless years since we left here. The word ancient is also appropriate..."
"When the spiritual energy dissipated and the road ahead was cut off, we had no choice but to leave..."
As this man narrated, the ancient scroll slowly opened in front of Su Xiaofan and the others.
This is said by the people of ancient times themselves. For countless years, the ancient mysteries that have troubled today's people have been answered for the first time.
In the ancient times, it is impossible to study the time, because among those people, it seems that even Yao, Shun, and Yu Tang were not born. They are regarded as the oldest group of practitioners.
As for where the cultivation methods come from, and where the spiritual energy comes from, these people don't know, as if they are born with knowledge.
In the wild land at that time, there were not only humans but also monsters. Only after the emergence of cultivators did humans gradually become the protagonists of this world.
It's just that the cultivators at that time, after becoming immortals and ancestors, did not give feedback to human beings, but instead established sects and inheritances from above.
As the legend goes, cultivators have no idea of the suffering in the world. They are at the top of the food chain on this planet.
In the beginning, high-level cultivators would appear in front of others to compete for the inheritance of the Taoism.
Later on, the earliest group of cultivators had already occupied the Paradise of Cave Heaven and truly became immortal and god-like figures.
But finally one day, the sky and the earth changed color, and the aura that filled the entire planet began to gradually dissipate.
This process lasted for a very long time. In the words of several people, it should have been thousands of years or even longer.
In the beginning, the aura of the mortal world was slowly dissipating, and there were fewer and fewer ordinary people with the qualifications to practice.
After hundreds of years passed, the aura of the Cave Heaven Paradise gradually became thinner.
These people, who were used to being immortals, were horrified to find that after their spiritual energy dissipated and became thinner, their cultivation realm fell irresistibly.
There are even some cultivators who have lived for a long time. After the spiritual energy dissipates, the end comes. In various caves and blessed places, countless cultivators have perished in the past thousand years.
This situation made the cultivators really panic.
Various cave heavens and paradises joined forces to find out the reason for the dissipation of spiritual energy, but in the end they all failed.
No one could stop the dissipation of spiritual energy. As the spiritual energy decreased day by day, the cultivator finally decided to leave and find a place with spiritual energy.
In each Cave Heaven Paradise, there are incomplete moving formations.
The shifting formation is not the work of self-cultivation, but when there is a cave, the shifting formation is already inside.
It's just that all the moving formations were damaged initially. After countless years of research and consideration by cultivators, they were finally repaired.
Before the spiritual energy dissipated, teleportation arrays were actually used in every Cave Heaven Paradise.
They teleported their disciples out to see where this formation would lead and whether it could open up a new paradise for the sect.
But without exception, none of the disciples who were teleported out could pass through the teleportation array and come back, and there was no trace of them.
But there is good news, that is, the soul lamps left by the teleported sect disciples in the sect have not been extinguished.
In other words, these people just couldn't come back, but they were still alive. This discovery finally allowed each family to save the Cave Heaven Relocation Formation.
For countless years, those soul lamps have been extinguished.
But this is also a normal thing. Cultivators are not immortal. Cultivators who live in the paradise of cave heaven also have a limit.
In the era when spiritual energy was abundant and cultivators were prosperous, there were also many adventurous cultivators who used the Movement Formation to explore the outside world.
Although those people were not able to come back, and the soul lamps were extinguished from time to time, it still showed one thing, that is, the place where the transfer formation was sent was suitable for cultivators to survive.
Therefore, when the spiritual energy of the earth is about to disappear completely, cultivators in various cave heavens and blessed places decide to leave their homes and find a space suitable for cultivators to survive.
Hearing this, Su Xiaofan and others pricked up their ears.
The things described above were similar to what Su Xiaofan had inferred, and they also discovered the damaged moving array.
But except for the few soul bodies in front of them, no one knew anything about what happened after leaving.
"Slavery!"
The leader's soul body had a slight tremor in its mental fluctuations, "After being transferred there, we were all enslaved. Although it is suitable for cultivators to survive there, it is a hell..."
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly..."
Seeing that the souls of those people were fluctuating violently and seemed to be dissipating, Su Xiaofan quickly comforted him.
After a while, the leader calmed down.
"That place is called the Great World of Seven Stars. It is a world of true cultivator civilization..."
After calming down, the man continued talking.
According to this person, compared with the seven-star world, the cultivator civilization on earth is like a child playing house, just a game.
And these great cultivators who have become immortals and ancestors on earth, in the Seven Star World, although their cultivation level is not the lowest level, they are only the most ordinary cultivators.
These are nothing. The most terrible thing is that those who were teleported through the teleportation array were captured and imprisoned by the cultivators of the Seven Star World as soon as they appeared.
All those who passed through the Earth Relocation Formation had their cultivations blocked and became mortal beings, becoming slaves of various sects in the Seven Star World.
After being enslaved for a period of time, people in the past on earth figured out the truth.
Only then did they realize that the people in the Seven Stars World were not the natives of this world, but had occupied the Seven Stars World through the war between cultivators.
Originally, the Seven Star World was not called this name, but was called Qingyun World.
Because there are seven sects occupying the Qingyun World, this world was renamed the Seven Star World.
These seven sects are Netherworld Sect, Reincarnation Sect, Bloodyang Sect, Destroying God Sect, Tianhai Sect, Shadow Moon Sect and Danxin Sect.
Under these seven sects, there are hundreds of large and small sects, all of which are dependent on these seven sects.
The seven sects rely on these hundreds of affiliated sects to manage all the cultivators and tens of billions of mortals in the entire Seven Star World.
In this person's words, the Seven-Star World is far larger than the earth, and its area is at least a hundred times that of the earth.
As slaves, they sometimes go out with the people of the sect, but they have never seen the boundaries of the Seven Star World.
As for spiritual energy, the Seven Star World is also different from the earth. The spiritual energy there is of higher quality and originates from the universe, so there will be no loss of spiritual energy.
"How are the cultivation realms divided there?"
Su Xiaofan asked: "You were not weak when you left, so why were you restrained so easily?"
"We were not weak in cultivation at that time, so we were just trying to be kings behind closed doors."
After hearing Su Xiaofan's words, the man couldn't help but smile bitterly, "With our little cultivation, we can't even go out into the starry sky, so what does it mean in the seven-star world?"
"You also know about the universe and stars?"
Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He thought that these ancient people thought that the universe was the second oldest and they were the third oldest. Unexpectedly, they now knew that there was a broader universe outside.
"I didn't know it before, but how can I not know it when I go to the Seven Star World?"
The man shook his head, his figure looking a little unreal, "We are just slaves over there. We can only overhear some information, and our understanding is not very comprehensive."
The system of cultivators in the Seven Star World is somewhat similar to the cultivation civilization on earth. In the early stage, it also started from Qi training and foundation building to the Golden Pill Nascent Soul.
As for the higher realms, since these people are all assigned to low-level disciples as slaves, they are unable to understand and contact them.
However, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Seven Star World are completely different from those on Earth.
For example, Nascent Soul cultivators from the seven major sects can enter the starry sky and travel among the stars.
"Can they absorb the energy in the universe?" Su Xiaofan interjected after hearing this.
"It seems impossible."
The leader shook his head, "What they absorb is a kind of spiritual energy that has been transformed through the energy of the stars in the universe, but they cannot directly absorb energy in the universe."
"Then what they practice shouldn't be planet-level skills."
Su Xiaofan felt relieved. If the seven-star world could become a planet-level life when it reached the Nascent Soul stage, it would be too scary for Su Xiaofan.
Only Su Xiaofan knows how powerful planetary life is.
If any sect has countless planet-level beings, then Su Xiaofan will not go to the universe to hang out in the future, and will just spend his old age on the earth.
"After you were arrested, did you tell anything about the Earth?"
Su Xiaofan was silent for a moment, then asked: "Will the sect cultivators from the Seven Star World come to the earth through the movement formation?"
This is the issue that Su Xiaofan and several people present are most concerned about. If cultivators from the Seven Star World come over, I am afraid that the entire earth will be enslaved by them.
"They have a way of searching for souls, we can't hide it."
The leader sighed, "But the movement formation we used is only a one-way movement formation. It can reach there, but it cannot go back.
So even if they want to come here, there is no way. It is not that simple to find a planet in the starry sky. They can't find it here..."
"How did you survive there for so long with your blocked cultivation?"
Su Xiaofan looked at the souls of those people, "How did you come back and why did you become like this again? Where are your physical bodies?"
Su Xiaofan did not fully believe what these people said, because there were too many flaws in their words.
Apart from anything else, it is impossible for these people to live such a long life since they are blocked from cultivating.
"We know that countless years have passed here, but over there, it is only a hundred years away from us."
These people had come into contact with Tieguai Immortal before. Although they had not communicated with Tieguai Immortal, they had received some of the spiritual knowledge passed down by Tieguai Immortal and had some general understanding of the current earth.
In the words of the leader, it has only been a hundred years since they arrived in the Seven Star World.
These people were all the top cultivators in the past. Even if their internal cultivation was blocked, they could still live for hundreds of years in the seven-star world with abundant spiritual energy.
As for how he came back, it involved other things.
The seven major sects in the Seven Stars World do not only govern this big world, they also have many affiliated small worlds.
And each sect has its own planetary base.
The Seven Stars World was just something they jointly looted from the outside world. The foundation of these sects was not in the Seven Stars World.
The use of shifting formations in the Seven Star World has already become very popular.
In the seven-star world, there are moving formations that go to the small worlds of various sects.
However, the distances these teleportation arrays can teleport are not very far, and most of them are within a few nearby planets.
In the seven-star world, there is another type of teleportation formation, which is called the ancient teleportation formation.
It is said that the Ancient Teleportation Array can move between galaxies.
However, there are very few such ancient movement formations, and most of them are left over from the cultivators' caves in the former Qingyun World.
It's just that once the Ancient Teleportation Array moves out, it can never return. This is somewhat similar to the Teleportation Array on Earth.
The four people in front of Su Xiaofan were slaves in the same sect, but they did not follow the same master.
Just imagine how people who were immortals and ancestors high up in the mountains could accept their status as slaves and think about escaping from the Seven Star World almost all the time.
This opportunity came to a few people after a hundred years.
Their masters, several foundation-building disciples of the Samsara Sect, united to explore an ancient cultivator's cave.
Legend has it that the world of Qingyun was once vast in its earliest days. There were many high-level powerful cultivators who dominated the universe for endless years.
But for some reason, the sects in Qingyun World gradually declined, which gave those seven sects an opportunity to take Qingyun World as their own.
However, even the seven major sects are jealous of the inheritance and relics in the Qingyun world, and even some of the ancient inheritances, even the seven major sects have to fight over them.
These foundation-building disciples of the Reincarnation Sect are all descendants of some powerful figures in the sect, so they are qualified to be assigned slaves.
After receiving the news about the ancient cultivator's cave, these disciples of the Samsara Sect naturally wanted to take it for themselves. They did not notify the sect, but went together in private.
As a slave, the master has the right of life and death, and a blood curse was planted in the sea of consciousness to restrain him. He must not betray the master, so he took them all over.
In fact, there were originally four cultivators from the past on Earth, but two of them died while exploring the cave. In the eyes of the Samsara Sect disciples, they were at best cannon fodder to explore the cave.
After entering the cave, the Samsara Sect disciples searched extensively and obtained many items belonging to ancient cultivators.
And in this cave, there is also an intact Ancient Movement Formation.
While those people were searching the cave, these cultivators from Earth made a decision almost in one look.
They decided to activate this Ancient Teleportation Formation and escape from the Seven Star World, because if they missed this opportunity, they would never have the chance to escape.
To activate the Ancient Teleportation Formation, high-grade spiritual stones are required.
When the leader entered the cave to search separately, he discovered and secretly hid several high-grade spiritual stones.
These people were all well-known people on Earth back then, and they did not lack the power to make decisions. Once they had decided, there was no hesitation.
While the reincarnation sect disciples were not paying attention to the ancient movement formation, they activated the movement formation and prepared to teleport themselves out.
The reason why they dared to do this was because the Ancient Teleportation Array usually transported across galaxies, and they concluded that these reincarnation sect disciples would not dare to pursue them.
In fact, those few disciples of the Samsara Sect didn't dare, and they didn't even have time to stop the activation of the Ancient Movement Formation.
But these reincarnation sect disciples were not good at it. They actually took action directly and destroyed the teleportation formation that had not completed the transmission.
Moreover, those few disciples of the Samsara Sect were also quite ruthless, and at the same time they activated the blood curse restraint in their minds, trying to kill several people in the moving formation.
Fortunately, after activating the teleportation, this Ancient Teleportation Formation actually had the effect of isolating the blood curse restriction, allowing several people to escape.
But after escaping the blood curse restriction, several people were horrified to discover.
The damaged Ancient Movement Formation did not transport them safely, but instead involved several people in the space turbulence.
Two of them had their bodies torn apart by the turbulent flow of space on the spot, and even their consciousness could not escape.
The luck of these four people was good. Although their bodies were shattered by the turbulence of space, their spiritual consciousness escaped from their physical bodies.
It's just that in the turbulent flow of space, they cannot absorb the spiritual energy.
After wandering in it for decades, the consciousness of several people was weakened to the extreme, and in the end they turned into pure soul bodies.
It can be said that the lives of these four people should not have been cut off, perhaps because of God's will.
Just when the four of them were almost desperate, they discovered this space crack and escaped from it.
