Alien Science Cultivation

Zhang Qiang also roughly understood. This ancestor before him was incredibly meticulous. Even without needing to explain many things, with his abilities and means, he already had a basic understanding of everything going on here, and he probably even knew a few members of Wang Yan's team. He feigned a slight anger, probably to confirm who was the true leader of this prestigious team. Zhang Qiang and Wang Yan, naturally, didn't understand. Zhang Qiang's response, though brief, undoubtedly drew his ire back on him. However, ancestor Yao Chen ignored Zhang Qiang... and walked over to Chen Ying, taking a good look. Chen Ying's heart tightened... and she couldn't help but worry. Although Chen Ying's appearance remained unchanged to most people, before ancestor Yao Chen, an early-stage Quasi-Saint, whose consciousness could sense molecular changes, her concealment was completely useless.

"Don't be afraid, little girl... We've come to terms with it... Including you, the Qingshan Sect has produced four geniuses at once... And now with the Qingshan Exchange... Your Qingshan Sect is no less capable than any other holy land..." Elder Yao Chen continued with a smile. "Four...? If you include myself and Chen Ying, Lin Ling is naturally one of them. Then who's the other one...? Wang Ling...? She's a business prodigy at best, her talent hardly a genius." Zhang Qiang speculated. Facing the human ancestor's question, all he could do was try to understand his meaning and avoid a repeat of Wang Yan's embarrassing situation.

"Thank you, Senior, for your discerning eyes... but my aptitude is not worthy of your discernment..." Chen Ying's words seemed to be a double entendre. Her aptitude, that of a Taiyin Saint Body, naturally caught Yao Chen's eye, but Chen Ying insisted that it was not. The implication was that she wanted to know whether Elder Yao Chen had recognized her origins from the technological planet. Elder Yao Chen's words, "Don't be afraid, little girl..." seemed to indicate to Chen Ying that he knew her origins. Chen Ying also wondered if anyone in the cultivation world could see her difference. Even if so, what level of understanding was required... After all, no one in the Yin Realm had yet to discover her difference.

"Haha... you're truly extraordinary, little girl... Even though you're afraid... you still have the courage to clarify your doubts... You're not the first one I've encountered, and you probably won't be the last... Your tiny organization is fundamentally different from ours. Just to discover it requires a divine consciousness above the level of a Quasi-Sage, as well as some understanding of the energy beyond the star field... And I've had the good fortune to have once entered the starry sky beyond the star field..."

The old man transmitted his message, but the recipients were Zhang Qiang, Chen Ying, and Wang Yan. Wang Yan's expression remained largely unchanged. She had long known that Chen Ying and Zhang Qiang were from other worlds, so the old man's words didn't surprise her at all... She was simply curious about how an early Quasi-Sage had managed to travel through this star region. Zhang Qiang's expression didn't change much either. While he couldn't sense any energy fluctuations that were different between Chen Ying and the humans on this planet, he could clearly tell the difference in atomic structure. Initially, he'd thought it was due to a different race, but now it seemed to be due to a different planet... Naturally, the difference in Zhang Qiang's body couldn't escape Yao Chen's observation... Unbeknownst to Yao Chen, Zhang Qiang could, if he so desired, alter his own cellular structure at any time... transforming himself into a member of any race on this planet.

As if sensing Wang Yan and the other two's thoughts, Elder Yao Chen didn't interrupt them. He glanced sideways at the distant hilltop, "The Elves..." Elder Yao Chen muttered to himself, but then ignored them.

"The three of you, come with me to the other teleportation array... and take out the spies over there..." Elder Yao Chen called out to Zhang Qiang and the other two. Naturally, they didn't dare to neglect him and immediately followed Elder Yao Chen into the smallest of the teleportation arrays. Dujiao gave a few instructions to his left and right, then followed suit, standing behind Zhang Qiang... Elder Yao Chen didn't care. One more or one less made no difference to him.

A flash of light shone forth... A quarter of an hour later, five people appeared within the teleportation array on the outskirts of the desert. The moment the array opened, Elder Yao Chen's spiritual awareness rapidly spread, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, and then his figure vanished from sight. The soldiers near the teleportation array, sensing Elder Yao Chen's presence, quickly fled in all directions... including the late-stage Divine King...

"A few mere demon cultivators dare to spy on the human race of the Eastern Region... Die..." As Patriarch Yao Chen finished his words, the surrounding space trembled slightly, and the figures of several demon cultivators paused. Although it was only a slight pause, it was enough for Patriarch Yao Chen, an early-stage Quasi-Sage, to unleash a myriad of tactics. Then, several short knives shot out from his side, traversing space and instantly piercing the bodies and dantians of the fleeing demon cultivators...

"The Netherworld Dagger... No, this one is far superior to the Netherworld Dagger... This dagger's original quality was probably at the level of an acquired treasure... Unlike the Netherworld Dagger, which was originally just an ordinary fruit knife, the blood aura and magical powers on these daggers are exactly the same as the Netherworld Dagger, except that the aura is even more powerful... It seems that the ability of Ancestor Yao Chen to leave this star region is related to the Netherworld Beast..."

Zhang Qiang was shocked when he saw Elder Yao Chen unleash his short knives, and he couldn't help but ponder. After several explosions in the air, several flying knives slowly flew back to Elder Yao Chen... Then, several space rings were pulled into the old man's hands by an invisible gravitational force.

After receiving the ring, Elder Yao Chen quietly watched as Zhang Qiang and the other two, beneath the magic circle, activated the "Extreme Shadow Art" to conjure dozens of figures. Within the army, they precisely dispatched every low-level cultivator controlled by the demonic cultivators... In a matter of moments, the three of them had resolved the battle. As wisps of demonic energy slowly emanated from the dead bodies, the soldiers finally came to their senses and understood the intentions of these individuals...

"Junior generation greets Elder Yao Chen... It's our fault for failing to supervise... The demons were allowed to sneak in and we almost made a big mistake... Please punish us..." Among the soldiers, two God King-level masters instantly knelt in the direction of Elder Yao Chen... Then they remained silent, waiting for Elder Yao Chen's punishment... It seemed that the old man really enjoyed keeping people in suspense. Without saying a word, he looked at Zhang Qiang and the other two, and then threw the three space rings in his hands to them.

"This is my personal reward for the three of you... What's inside is entirely up to fate... If it weren't for your timely information, this place would have been lost in the past few days... It seems that the ghosts and demons have not given up their plans to attack the human race in the Eastern Region. I'm afraid the current situation of the other teleportation arrays is not much better..."

The old man gazed into the depths of the distant desert... a look of worry on his face... By this point, he naturally understood the demonic coalition's strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain... but it seemed too late to reorganize the army and defend... But the sooner he knew, the sooner he could defend himself and minimize the losses...

"Alright... everyone, get up... defend the teleportation array... if you can't defend it, blow it up... we must not leave it to any of the demon clans..." the old man said softly, and then hurriedly stepped into the teleportation array again and left with Zhang Qiang and the other four...
