"The Heaven Forsaken King?"
Su Chen asked in confusion.
At this moment, Zhou Ningyun, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke, "Master, I know this Heaven Forsaken King. He's one of the Ten Heavenly Kings of the Mystical Mountain's Jing Province, the Heaven Forsaken King, Ye Wu. He's the only one without any cultivation among the Ten Heavenly Kings, but he's a Divine Talisman Master. He's already over three thousand years old."
A Divine Talisman Master without any cultivation?
This made Su Chen extremely curious.
Although the Dao of Divine Glyphs and cultivation were unrelated and belonged to two different systems, it was simply inconceivable that someone without any cultivation could have such profound attainments in the Dao of Divine Glyphs. Ah Ke nodded.
"Ningyun is right. The Heaven Forsaken King, Ye Wu, is the most unusual existence among the Ten Heavenly Kings. Although he's a mortal without any cultivation, even the Saints of the Heaven's Equal Realm do not dare to underestimate him. It's said that Ye Wu is extremely skilled in creating new formations. He's carved over a thousand formations on his body and can use the Dao of Divine Glyphs to control the power of the world, aiding him in his attacks. Moreover, the Heaven Forsaken King reached the peak of Divine Talisman Master three hundred years ago. It's said that he's currently charging towards the realm of Divine Talisman Master. If he succeeds, the Heaven Forsaken King will become the only remaining Divine Talisman Master in the Mystical Mountain's Jing Province."
In that case, the Heaven Forsaken King was indeed a very powerful figure.
"But since that's the case, why does the Heaven Forsaken Valley have the Heaven Forsaken King guarding it? Why does he need the protection of the Dragon Clan?" Su Chen asked.
"The Heaven Forsaken King is indeed not to be underestimated, but his strength alone is ultimately limited. Moreover, researching the Dao of Divine Glyphs is extremely costly. The various formation materials are also a huge expense. The reason why the Heaven Forsaken King joined the Dragon Clan was actually not entirely his own idea. The Dragon Clan also took the initiative. To put it bluntly, the Dragon Clan has been investing in the Heaven Forsaken King all these years, providing the residents of the Heaven Forsaken Valley with protection and large amounts of formation materials. In return, the Heaven Forsaken King will join the Dragon Clan and serve them after he breaks through to the realm of Divine Talisman Master."
Su Chen understood after hearing that.
The Dragon Clan was the Heaven Forsaken King's angel.
"Then why are we here this time?" Su Chen asked again.
Ah Ke said, "The last time I contacted the Dragon Cave, I received news that Heaven Forsaken King seemed to be sick, so I wanted to come and take a look at the situation. After all, the Dragon Clan has invested too many resources in him. If anything happens to Heaven Forsaken King, it will be a blow to the Dragon Clan."
So that was the case.
Although the Heaven Forsaken King was an extremely powerful Divine Talisman Master, he was still a mortal. Mortals would eventually grow old and die. The Heaven Forsaken King had relied on the Divine Glyph Art to extend his life for three thousand years. He had probably put in a lot of effort for this. It would be fine if he was just sick, but if he was nearing the end of his life, it would be more troublesome.
No matter what, since he was here, he might as well take a look.
Su Chen wouldn't feel any pressure at all if it was just for treatment. No matter how difficult the disease was, a Resurrection Card could solve it.
However, if his lifespan was nearing its end, then even Su Chen would not be able to do anything.
After a short while, the three of them entered Heaven Abandonment Valley.
After entering the valley, Su Chen found that the amount of Spiritual Qi in the surrounding air was almost zero.
Not to mention Spiritual Qi, even the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth was nowhere to be found.
This was the first time Su Chen had encountered such an environment after time-traveling. Even in the Xuanyuan Continent, he had never seen such a poor place.
In a trance, Su Chen even had a feeling that he had returned to his hometown on Earth.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Su Chen suddenly wasn't sure if there was Essence Qi or Spiritual Qi on Earth. After all, he didn't know how to cultivate in his previous life. Even if there was Spiritual Qi on Earth, he couldn't sense it.
Moreover, since there were myths and legends about the Immortal Cultivation World on Earth, it meant that Earth and the Immortal Cultivation World still had a certain concept. Perhaps there had been Immortal Cultivators in the past.
After entering the valley, the first thing they saw was a large golden wheat field.
The boundless wheat field was full of heavy grains. It was now autumn, the season of harvest. The Immortal Cultivation World was nourished by Spiritual Qi, so it was difficult to distinguish the four seasons. However, in a place without Spiritual Qi like this, the four seasons were particularly distinct.
The trees by the side of the road had withered and fallen leaves were all over the ground.
When a few big yellow dogs saw unfamiliar visitors, they started to bark wildly.
Not far away, there was a small village. It was evening, and there was a faint smoke coming from the village. The smell of delicious food came from the village.
This scene reminded Su Chen of many memories of his previous life.
He couldn't help but be immersed in such an atmosphere.
However, Su Chen restrained himself and didn't go over to disturb them.
After all, this was a world that completely belonged to ordinary people. Many people might not even know about the existence of Immortal Cultivators. It was better not to rashly disturb the peaceful environment here.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the capital of the Tianqi Valley.
This capital was called Tianqi. It had the same pronunciation as Tianqi, but it had a completely different meaning.
The capital of Tianqi had a population of nearly two million people. Although it couldn't be compared to the big cities in the Immortal Cultivation World, it could still be considered prosperous. There were countless peddlers in the city, and all kinds of trades were available. Without any interference from the outside world, some simple industrial systems were even developed here.
Su Chen looked around and found some signs of the industrial era.
Steam engines, electric lighting, steel mills …
Although it was still not enough, with time, it might be able to enter the industrial era. This was quite a big step in the history of civilization.
"These mortals are quite smart. They learned how to generate hydroelectric power so quickly."
Ah Ke's sudden words made Su Chen slightly stunned.
Seeing Su Chen staring at her, Ah Ke said, "What's the problem?
These industrial technologies were taught to the Tianqi Valley by our Dragon Clan. "
"Uh …"
Su Chen blushed with shame. It was actually the Dragon Clan that ignited the industrial fire of the Tianqi Valley?
"Why would the Dragon Clan know about this?"
Ah Ke said matter-of-factly, "What's there not to know about this kind of low-level technological product?
There's no technological content at all. Among the technological treasures of our Dragon Clan, there are countless technologies that are more advanced than this by a hundred thousand years. In the Dragon Cave, there's also a Proton Battleship produced using the technology of a level-nine technological civilization. That guy is the true light of civilization. When fully operated, it has the combat strength of a Divine King Realm powerhouse. It's a pity that it can't be mass-produced. Otherwise, the Dragon Clan would have already swept through the Primordial Universe. "
Su Chen was even more confused after hearing Ah Ke's words.
I always thought this was the Immortal Cultivation World, but you're telling me this is actually a sci-fi world?
"The Dragon Clan's Proton Battleship is indeed very powerful. It's said that it's equipped with a weapon called the Pulse Blade, which can easily cut a star into pieces," Zhou Ningyun suddenly said.
Su Chen was even more stunned.
You all know?
Am I the only one who doesn't know anything?
