40,000 Years of Cultivation

Unlike Li Yao's imagination, the "dark" continent is not only not dark, but the sunlight during the day is particularly dazzling.

The sky here is particularly clear and blue too unreal, as if you can see the twinkling stars directly through the sky.

Five thousand years ago, this was the place that suffered the first wave of catastrophes, and almost all the marks of civilization were completely wiped out.

Looking around, the desolate land is like a distant alien star, full of topography and landforms that are unique to other worlds. The land sometimes rises high, and then sinks deeply, forming a ring of mountains, overlapping and pits and pits. .

These craters were all smashed by huge meteorites back then. Until now, there are still many meteorite fragments remaining in the deepest part of many craters that are thousands of meters deep.

For five thousand years, the craters in the depths of the crater have been scoured by continuous rain water, coupled with the diversion of the rivers, and circular lakes have been formed.

Because of the impact of meteorite fragments at the bottom of the lake, the surface of the lake is rippling with seven colors, which looks like huge vesicles protruding from the ground when viewed from the ground.

Occasionally, there are two craters very close together, and the ridges are squeezed together, and they are as sharp as fangs.

Such a harsh environment makes it difficult for human civilization to take root, but here has become a paradise for monsters and demonized plants.

Countless colorful plants grew out of the big lake at the bottom of the crater, decorating the craters with flowers, and thousands of monsters roared in the monster forests. When Li Yao passed by the craters , And even encountered a large group of flying monsters.

Once, Li Yao was still in the mountains and forests, and found some existences similar to human races.

They are all about two meters tall, their skin is grayish-white like a rock, and a layer of red moss grows on it, which can change into different luster and shapes.

At first glance, it looked exactly like the Giant Spirit Warrior Clan, only one size smaller.

They are all wearing the simplest animal skins, holding bone blades made of monster bones, and communicating with each other is like a human language with short syllables and a deep roar of beasts.

They don't seem to know how to cultivate zhenqi, but they are extremely powerful, bloodthirsty, brutal and aggressive, walking like flying in the mountains and forests, they can tear the monster beast with their hands, then swallow it alive, and drink the beast blood.

Li Yao hid in the dark, observing these savages secretly for a long time, and came to a conclusion.

Five thousand years ago, after the first wave of tribulations, the ancestors of these human races were too few in number and the environment was too harsh to be able to pass on the fire of human civilization.

In the Dark Continent, generation after generation, their civilization continues to degenerate, and eventually they become savages who drink blood.

Civilization disappeared, but the inheritance of the giant spirit war clan was sent to them in various ways, becoming their only support against the harsh environment.

Nowadays, these savages no longer speak human language, and they communicate with each other only by simple and short roars, and they also grow blood-colored moss like giant spirit warriors, these moss will change shape and color, the same Can play a role in communication.

Perhaps, these savages will continue to survive on the Dark Continent for thousands of years, and they will completely lose the last point of speaking ability and forget the identity of "human".

Perhaps they will regard the meteorite mountains that stand on the earth and everywhere they are seen as the "sacred mountain" of their race, and the giant spirit warrior heart unearthed from the meteorite mountain as the inheritance of the "god", and since then they think they are It is a descendant of "Tianjin".

Then, it will completely become a new generation of giant spirit war clan!

Li Yao sighed secretly in his heart, and continued to drive towards the valley where the Oasis Tribe was located.

Because he was worried about meeting people in the Palace of Longevity along the way, Li Yao didn't dare to fly too high, nor did he dare to increase his speed too fast.

Before every rush, the Xiaolong is always sent out to enter a hidden and stealth state, and monitor the way along the way to ensure that there is no abnormality before moving forward at full speed.

When he finally arrived near the valley where the Oasis Tribe was located, it was noon the next day.

This area is a rare plain in the Dark Continent. Several small craters are scattered on the wasteland. You can see patches of oasis in the distance, grazing countless fat-headed and big-eared spirit beasts.

Li Yao found a long and narrow valley between the two oval craters. Looking far away through the Xiaolong, the traces of man-made buildings can be vaguely seen.

However, on the other side of the valley, beacon smoke was everywhere, the flames burned to the sky, and fierce shouts of killing were faintly heard.

A thick black smoke, like a huge stone pillar, pierced the sky.

Li Yao was surprised secretly, and hurriedly took out a gray-white camouflage cloth similar in color to the rock and put it on his body, clinging to the ground, driving a black-winged sword, silently passing by a crater.

At the same time, the Xiaolong was also in a hidden state, slowly approaching the battle zone.

As we get closer and closer to the valley, we can clearly see that, leaning on the left side of the mountain wall, is a towering temple with a weird shape, and its construction style is quite primitive, wild and evil.

Around the temple, there are dozens of rudimentary stone buildings and some messy tents. At first glance, it is a tribal town with a low level of civilization.

Here, it should be the so-called oasis tribe.

In the towns, there are quite a few **** men wearing only bone armor and disheveled heads. They have very thick lips and rough faces. They have bone rings on their lips, ears and bridge of the nose, and their faces and bodies are all blue. Pigment, drawing hideous tattoos.

Judging from their houses, clothing, and demeanor, their level of civilization is much lower than that of Cheorwon's Sixth Department, but they are much higher than Li Yao's sight of other savages in the Dark Continent.

They are probably residents of the Oasis Tribe.

In addition to them, Li Yao also saw some people, wearing well-equipped armor, driving infuriating chariots, and flying the three battle flags of the scorching sun, the feather snake, and the giant axe.

They are probably the first batch of implementers of the "Oasis Plan."

At this moment, whether it was the gas refiner from the Sixth Division of Cheorwon or the barbaric warrior of the Oasis Tribe, they all screamed and rushed towards the other side of the valley.

"These robbers from the stars want to destroy our town, kill our wives and children, and occupy our homes!"

"Fight! Fight with them!"

"The Sixth Department of Cheorwon, together with the Oasis Tribe, defend our homeland!"

Li Yao cried out in his heart, and brought his eyesight to the limit, but he could see that at the other end of the valley, a spar battleship seemed to have been severely damaged, and fell into the mountain col with billowing black smoke.

A large number of cultivators wearing crystal armors fought with the Tieyuan people, and they were inextricably killed.

The cultivators have crystal armor assistance, and their strength is higher than that of the Cheorwon Warriors. However, their number is only a hundred or so, far less than the barbarian warriors, and they can't break through the Cheorwon Warriors' defenses for a time.

"What's the matter, it's already fighting?"

Li Yao was secretly anxious, manipulating Xiaolong to keep approaching, but saw a battle flag waving in the wind among the cultivators on the opposite side, and on the damaged spar battleship, there was also a very familiar battle emblem, under the scorching sun. Shining brightly.

That is--

"The battle emblem of the Great Horn Armor Division!"

Li Yao was dumbfounded, and ten thousand doubts popped up in his heart.

"Why, the Great Horned Armored Division appeared on Cheorwon, how did they find this place?"

"Besides, they are full of food. Why did they have a conflict with the Cheorwon people? They fought so fiercely. They seem to desperately want to break through the Cheorwon people's defense line and rush into the town of this oasis tribe!"

Li Yao's first reaction was to show up immediately to stop the conflict between the two sides.

However, the two sides are in a death match, how can they listen to him calmly?

What's more, Li Yao felt more and more that this reality was very strange, as if there was a big conspiracy behind it.

"The Great Horned Armored Division was just outside the Tierwon Star Territory just a few months ago, and it was almost completely wiped out. Even if it regained its vitality so quickly, how could it clash with the Teoronites inexplicably?"

"Why do they appear here, and they have to storm the town of the Oasis Tribe?"

"What secrets are hidden in this town?"

Li Yao's heart moved, and he simply let Xiaolong go around in a circle and sneak into the oasis tribe while most of the gas refiners and barbarians rushed forward and the rear was empty.

In the towns of the Oasis Tribe, almost all the buildings are stone houses with wind on all sides. Li Yao glanced over, but couldn't see anything unusual.

Only the temple built on the hillside reveals a chilling air no matter how you look at it.

The huge stone pillars supporting the temple are engraved with patterns of hordes of demons dancing wildly and bizarrely.

In front of the temple, there are four huge statues, which are four blue-faced fangs, half-human and half-demon monsters.

Among primitive tribes, worshiping ghosts and gods was a very normal thing, but Li Yao always felt a little weird.

After pondering for a long time, he discovered that the craftsmanship of this temple seemed to far exceed the level of civilization of the Oasis Tribe itself.

The lifelike reliefs of monsters, and these four statues, are not like those that can be sculpted by Oasis people.

The Xiaolong was close to the ground and sneaked into the temple silently.

The inside of the temple was empty, all around it was covered with black boulders, but in the middle stood a black stone monument, covered with a huge white cloth, it seemed that it had not been removed for a long time, and it was covered with dust.

Li Yao manipulated the Xiaolong into Baibury, trying to figure out the pattern on the stone tablet, but only found a line of dragons and phoenixes:

"The Great Avenue of the Heavens, billions of supernatural powers, I just ask one question-can I have longevity?"

Li Yao's pupils suddenly shrank: "It really is the Palace of Longevity!"

But after careful consideration, I felt that the difference was twisted.

This temple is too ostentatious. The strangely-shaped statues on the outside and the stone stele inscribed with the longevity hall inscriptions seem to be for fear that others will not know that this is a stronghold of an evil organization.
