Alien Science Cultivation

Zhang Qiang pondered this internally, knowing full well he didn't have many options. He slowly spoke, "Senior, since we've decided to join forces, I'll give it my all. But please, once we're done, keep your promise." The little fox raised its chin slightly, a hint of pride in its eyes. "Hmph, my Sky Fox clan always keeps their word. Just do your job well, and the rewards will naturally come your way. Besides, I'll only take the upper portion of the magma, leaving the lower portion for him. It's unlikely he'll stray far from his lair to pursue us. There are many who covet that Burning Heaven Bamboo..."

"Since Senior has a plan, I must go all out to help you obtain the Burning Heaven Bamboo..." After hearing the little fox's plan, Zhang Qiang no longer hesitated and agreed to the little fox's request. "Alright... This is a divine bead of invisibility. Carry it with you to avoid that creature's divine sense. Let's get closer and wait for the Burning Heaven Bamboo to take shape. I think we're not the only ones here; there are probably other cultivators hiding nearby. A fierce battle is inevitable. Remember, once I obtain the Burning Heaven Bamboo, immediately retreat and find a place to hide. I've got a backup plan behind us, so even if we encounter a strong enemy, there's no need to worry too much. Then, wait for the repulsive force of this space to rise, and we'll be driven out by it." The fox explained, checking the situation at the Burning Heaven Bamboo. "Repulsive force..." Zhang Qiang looked at the fox in confusion. "No... you don't know this? How did you get in?" the little fox asked, puzzled. "I accidentally opened something like a black token, and a portal appeared on top of it. That's how I got in..." Zhang Qiang explained seriously. "So how many of you got in?" the little fox pressed. "Over 100..." Hearing Zhang Qiang's number, the little fox closed his eyes, then opened them again angrily. "What's the problem, Senior?" Zhang Qiang asked, puzzled. "It's a serious problem... This may be a cemetery, but it's capable of creating a whole new world, the cemetery of an immortal! This cemetery has begun to blossom into a world, a world of its own, a Heavenly Dao... and creatures of its own world. While the Heavenly Dao isn't complete yet and can't exterminate outsiders, it can certainly repel us. The more outsiders we have, the higher the chance of it discovering us. Do you understand? That fire turtle was born from the immortal's dantian, the first living being in this world. This Burning Heaven Bamboo is said to be a treasure obtained by the immortal, nurtured in his dantian for countless years. Only when it's fully formed can it be severed and taken away with powerful means... And with so many of you here, we can only hope that the Heavenly Dao won't discover it too soon, and can wait until the Burning Heaven Bamboo is fully formed... You're simply... simply unevolved barbarians. Which continent are you from?" the little fox demanded, seething with rage. The strong are respected, and what the strong say is right, so Zhang Qiang did not dare to refute. He scratched his head awkwardly and explained honestly: "The Xuanwu Continent..." "Xuanwu Continent..." The little fox looked at Zhang Qiang in confusion. "It's the Xuanwu Continent next to the Dark Forest..." Zhang Qiang explained one after another. "Dark Forest?" The little fox was even more confused, and this time Zhang Qiang was also confused. The Xuanwu Continent was so small that no one knew about it, but the existence of the Dark Forest was impossible for such a powerful person not to know about it. "You don't know about the Dark Forest on Gaia... Senior, this is unreasonable! You don't know this?" Zhang Qiang's series of explanations could not make the other party understand, and he raised his voice and transmitted it. However, what he got was the little fox looking at him as if he were a fool. After a moment, the little fox seemed to feel that Zhang Qiang was not lying and looked at Zhang Qiang strangely. "Do you know what planet this immortal tomb is on?" the fox asked doubtfully. Zhang Qiang seemed to hear the hidden meaning in the fox's words and couldn't help but ask back, "Isn't it on the planet Gaia?" "This is the fucking planet Tianshe, how did you get here, brother? I always feel that there is something strange about you. That power of nothingness... I only sensed it once by chance in an immortal tomb, a very weak existence... Although the power of nothingness you emitted just now has a small range, it was able to block the fire breath of the fire turtle for a moment, which is enough to prove its strength. It seems that the planet Gaia you mentioned really exists. The cultivation civilization is still superior to ours. We in the Sky Fox clan rarely know about the power of nothingness, but you have already mastered it."

"I've only grasped the superficial aspects of this by chance. Please excuse my embarrassment, Senior..." Zhang Qiang naturally wasn't foolish enough to share all his information. Furthermore... what this little fox said seemed too far-fetched. Regarding time travel, according to Earth's calculations, the probability he could verify was only 64 in 64 billion. The probability of that in billion person traveling again... he calculated for a moment, but it seemed impossible. "Don't worry... No one else can see your Void Power. You're close to me. I was just curious about how some idiot could have entered Fire Turtle airspace, so I followed them, thinking they were experts, but they turned out to be fools. Haha... Besides, the Void Power... not many families in the Holy Land know of it, especially since it's so far away." The little fox looked at Zhang Qiang and transmitted his message.

Seeing the fox's gloating expression, Zhang Qiang felt incredibly distressed. After all, crossing over again, facing an unfamiliar environment again, and adapting to it would be incredibly difficult. "It shouldn't be that bad, right? I guess once the repulsive force of the cemetery rises, it'll return me the way I came... Maybe it's just that Gaia is so big that every place has a different name, but the Dark Forest... is also called something different? Never mind... let's just focus on getting rid of this bamboo!" After a moment's thought, Zhang Qiang quietly crouched in the grass, his eyes fixed on the fire turtle and the bamboo in the volcano. "No... idiot... what's that position you're in? Can you see better lying down like this?" The fox whispered doubtfully, even imitating Zhang Qiang's military stance. Yes, it was a military stance, the low-lying crouching position he'd learned during military training. Zhang Qiang had just finished his moment of daze when he unintentionally adopted it. "This is over... I'm going to be laughed at again. In this world of cultivation, this is probably the stupidest position! Barely any," Zhang Qiang thought. "Whoever invented this position? What a genius! It makes my whole body feel so good..." the little fox whispered, making small, comfortable sounds. It stretched its front and back paws straight out, stretching lazily, its eyes slightly narrowed, as if it could fall asleep at any moment.

"Holy crap... what's going on... Earth cats stretching, isn't there one here?" Zhang Qiang was speechless as he watched the little fox's intoxicated expression. "This position seems to clear my blood circulation, unimpeding my spiritual energy. It seems the bottleneck of thousands of years is beginning to loosen. Boy, it seems you're truly wise! Even a race as weak as humans could invent this position..." The little fox lazed in a comfortable position, licking its paws and conveying a feeling in his voice.

Zhang Qiang was speechless again. Time slipped by, seemingly without distinction between day and night in this immortal tomb, a perpetual gray. The little fox no longer had the same aloofness as when they first met. It lay on the rock, yawning constantly. Zhang Qiang was terrified it would fall asleep and watch the bamboo being taken away.
