Impressive Traveling Group, Single-Target Nuclear Bombs
These elderly men asked many questions.
After all, Ye Fan and the others came from Earth, and many of their habits were different from those of the people in the Big Dipper Star Domain.
Moreover, the fact that this group of "ordinary people with no cultivation whatsoever" inexplicably escaped from the Ancient Forbidden Zone area is simply an incredible stroke of luck, which is completely incomprehensible.
"... That's it."
Ye Fan did not fabricate his identity or origins with lies; he simply told the other party the truth.
He wasn't some lucky traveler who was transported to another world and became homeless.
He has the support of his motherland! And the eyes of his leader are watching him!
This trip can be described as a business trip followed by a vacation.
Ye Fan was full of confidence.
Putting aside the mysterious photographer Heavenly Emperor Ye, the system given to him by Commander Wang Yan alone allowed him to deal with these people without fear.
Moreover, although the seven Reincarnator in the group may seem to have their own personality flaws, they are quite reliable when it comes to real problems.
Ye Fan did not understand the cultivation realms the other party was talking about.
He knew nothing about the Sea of Suffering, the Dao Palace, or the Transformation into a Dragon.
At least, Ye Fan observed that these cultivators seemed quite wary of the seven Reincarnator, who had previously been identified as "ordinary mortals."
Especially Roronoa Zoro, Gaara, and the seemingly weak but beautiful girl Rui Mengmeng.
The fact that they were wary at least indicates that their combat capabilities were on the same level.
This also shows that Ye Fan and his group came here as honored guests, not as goods to be picked and chosen at will.
The other party was very polite, offering tea and fruit, all of which were rare and precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures imbued with spiritual light and of considerable value, enough to make even a cultivator feel a pang of heartache.
Unfortunately, the eleven members of the tour group, who had just eaten a "superb stew of elixirs," were now quite full.
Every cell in their bodies was filled with energy, spirituality, and nutrients. They only took a couple of symbolic bites before leaving the food aside, refusing to eat any more.
"Where did these people come from?"
The elderly men looked at each other in bewilderment.
They were old monsters who had lived for many years, and they didn't really believe what others said, but they trusted their own eyes and wisdom.
From the details, they discovered that among the eleven "otherworldly travelers" before them, seven were battle-hardened war gods with blood on their hands, while the remaining four were probably ordinary mortals from wealthy families who were powerless to even kill a chicken.
But now...
These spiritual teas and fresh fruits are all top-quality items. Normally, they would feel a pang of regret if they ate even a little bit themselves. The main reason they brought them out now was to test them.
After all, these travelers who claim to be "from Earth" have all emerged from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, opened up the Sea of Suffering, and their cultivation is twice as effective with half the effort. They have considerable potential. If they are willing to join the Grotto-Heaven, it would be as if we were to train them as disciples in advance.
If the other party is unwilling to join but has sufficient strength, then consider it a good deed.
If the other party is unwilling to join and is just bluffing, then we might as well go all the way and refine them directly into pills to consume, so that there won't be too much waste.
Pity...
The performance of the eleven members of the tour group left everyone speechless.
They seem to be...
I find these spiritual teas and fruits quite repulsive.
Even a powerful cultivator who has reached the Four Extremes Realm wouldn't discard something like this as if it were trash, would they?
Pretentious?
It doesn't look like it!
Judging from Ye Fan's expression, he seemed to have some real confidence...
How does China's strength compare to that of the Yan Kingdom?
Are there any powerful figures from the Immortal Platform realm? How many dragon-transformation experts are there? How many cultivators from the Four Extremes are there?
The elders exchanged glances, conveying their thoughts through veiled communication.
"They're all just pretentious people. Don't think you can bully them just because you lack cultivation. Be careful not to provoke some old monster from China. The Grotto-Heaven won't stand up for you!"
"Absolutely! Absolutely!"
"Better safe than sorry!"
The Earth Traveler's attitude towards the spiritual tea and fruit prompted several sensible elders to stop some of their companions from acting impulsively.
They didn't realize that the person was just too full...
Under these circumstances, the two sides had a very pleasant conversation.
Ye Fan and the others learned a lot of common knowledge about the Big Dipper Star Domain.
For example, the land beneath our feet can be divided into: Eastern Wasteland, Western Desert, Southern Ridge, Northern Plains, and Central Continent.
The Eastern Wasteland is so vast that even if a mortal lived for dozens of lifetimes, it would be difficult to traverse it all.
The sect they visited this time was called "Spiritual Ruins Grotto Heaven".
The cultivation realms here can be roughly divided into: the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, the Dao Palace Secret Realm, the Four Extremes Secret Realm, the Dragon Transformation Realm, the Immortal Platform Realm...
Within each major realm, there are multiple minor realms.
In addition, local customs and traditions, as well as summaries of information about powerful figures from various regions, were also topics of conversation.
These seasoned cultivators always have something in mind when they make a sacrifice.
During their conversation, they repeatedly tried to extract information about Earth from Ye Fan, this "young man who had not yet reached adulthood," and they also inquired from time to time about the strength of Ye Fan and the others' elders, and what level they were equivalent to in the Big Dipper Star Domain.
In their view, Earth is a sacred place for spiritual practice with abundant resources!
As a family member, Ye Fan naturally knew that in the 21st century, the world was highly industrialized but also severely polluted.
Where are these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures? Where are these powerful elders?
Oh...
Perhaps Commander Wang Yan, who is on an exceptional level, could be considered one.
As the conversation grew increasingly awkward, a group of cultivators from other Grotto-Heaven joined the discussion.
They seemed to regard the eleven members of the group Dao Seed potential spiritual beings and attempted to seize them.
"Within the territory of Yan, there are supposedly six 'Grotto-Heaven', but this one, 'Spiritual Ruins Grotto Heaven,' is somewhat misnamed and is more like a 'blessed land.'"
"My dear young friends, you are all true seeds of cultivation! By joining my sect, you may have a chance to achieve immortality!"
After seeing through their plans, Ye Fan and Gaara had a private discussion and decided to send several Reincarnator to have a "friendly sparring session" with them.
"A friendly spar?"
Several uninvited guests were eager to try their hand at attracting these true cultivators to their ranks.
Even the hosts of Spiritual Ruins Grotto Heaven approved of this proposal.
The battle was conducted quite politely, one-on-one, and gradually.
Ye Fan originally planned to ask Rui Mengmeng, Tenten, Deidara, Daenerys Targaryen, Gaara, Roronoa Zoro, Loki Odinson, and others to take action one by one to test the destructive power of each "realm" in the Big Dipper Star Domain, but things did not go as planned.
Zoro made his move and instantly defeated one of the opponents, even severing one of their arms. After that, the visitors from the Grotto-Heaven seemed to back down.
"This is no mere sapling; it's a colossal tree reaching for the heavens!"
"Playing dumb to fool the enemy... I've spent my days hunting eagles, but today I've been pecked in the eye by a sparrow!"
"Li Ying, you go and give it a try! I don't believe that everyone of them is that strong!"
After some discussion, an old woman named Li Ying from Golden Cloud Grotto Heaven faced off against Deidara.
Like Zoro, Deidara doesn't know the meaning of holding back when he fights.
"Explosions are art! Yes!"
"Please, gentlemen, appreciate it!"
Boom!
It was just one combination.
The blazing flames exploded in the open space, and the intense heat they emitted caused onlookers to retreat in fear.
The old woman from Golden Cloud Grotto Heaven, overconfident, chose to "let" Deidara have one move.
Her skin was charred, blood gushed from her mouth, and she lay on the ground, her face ashen, her limbs gray and withered, her lips cracked, and her breath faint.
"Damn it! What kind of power is this? Her life force and the foundation of her life are being corroded; it will probably be difficult for her to recover!"
The cultivators of Golden Cloud Grotto Heaven glared at Deidara with resentment. "What you have done for us today, Golden Cloud Grotto Heaven will surely repay you handsomely!"
Deidara casually tossed three syringes over, his face full of excitement. "This is Radiant Joy Spirit. One injection a day will clear the Fallout from your body."
"The people in this world... are so strong! Hmm! I hope you'll send a few even more powerful ones next time to help me hone my art!"
Ye Fan's eye twitched slightly.
From the conversations among these people and the comments from the analysts in the live stream, he roughly knew what weapon Deidara was using...
That is...
Against single-unit hydrogen bombs!
(In worlds like Shrouding the Heavens Battle Through the Heavens the Heavens, the plot spans too long, so to avoid viewer fatigue, it's written in segments and interspersed throughout.)
(The next chapter will detail Ye Fan's plans as China's diplomatic ambassador to the Big Dipper Star Domain, followed by interspersed scenes from various dimensions.)
(Emmm, actually this is how it's always been written in this book, so I don't think it's necessary to explain it specifically, hehehe...)
