By the time he saw the two shadows, it meant that everything was already too late.
Dozens of demonic vines, which seemed soft and thin but were dozens of times harder than strengthened ropes of the same diameter, tied up Su Changfa's medical cabin without a sound.
The substance that looked like a quicksilver swamp, on the other hand, leaked into every gap of the medical cabin, attached to the demonic vines, and took over the entire medical cabin immediately!
Su Changfa had been heavily wounded when he was ambushed by Tang Qianhe. After he luckily survived, he tried his best to manipulate the thousand spiritual puppets with his soul power.
After the fierce battles, he was on the verge of collapse, too. He was not even as capable as a Core Formation Stage Cultivator.
It was even more so when two experts in the Yuanying level ambushed him from the back without warning.
The vines and the quicksilver threads crawled into the medical cabin and tied up Su Changfa's body, which was full of holes, before they surged to his heart, his carotid artery, and his temples.
Indescribable bewilderment flashed on the old Immortal Cultivator's face. His telepathic thoughts immediately expanded. The mining spiders were all agitated and eager to have a try.
The vines and the quicksilver immediately darted at his eyeballs and temples brutally!
Su Changfa's pupils constricted violently. He withdrew his techniques obediently and shouted, "I surrender!"
Three minutes passed.
After doing something to Su Changfa's medical cabin and cutting off the telepathic thoughts transmission between him and all the spiritual puppets, Professor Mo Xuan and the Fire Ant finally helped Li Yao to his feet.
"What — what is going on exactly?"
Looking at the dead bodies of the Pangu that were still smoking not far away and the Draconic Phoenix that had just demonstrated its prowess next to Li Yao, the two of them found it extremely hard to believe!
Ever since Li Yao and the three Immortal Cultivators entered the underground world, the two of them had been patrolling around the war base, looking for an opportunity to sneak in.
However, the war base was heavily guarded with a complete defense system. Watchtowers and electric arc nets were everywhere. The two of them failed to find any loopholes after studying for a long time. They could only give up and wait for Li Yao's news.
They all knew that Li Yao was a troublemaker who would stir up trouble wherever he went.
They believed that no matter how Li Yao appeared, they would not be surprised.
Unexpectedly, what they were waiting for was a great battle between the Pangu and the giant war puppets. It was like a reenactment of the great war from hundreds of thousands of years ago.
The entire battlefield was surrounded by Mining Spiders. It was very difficult for them to intervene!
In the end, the one who fell out of the giant war puppet was actually Li Yao!
What was happening underground?
The two of them looked at each other and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they racked their brains. They could only turn their heads and stare at Li Yao with incomparable suspicion.
It was not until Su Changfa was completely under control that Li Yao finally heaved a long sigh of relief and relaxed completely. Faced with their puzzled eyes, he grinned and said, "It's nothing. You saw it yourself. I only slayed a god."
The Fire Ant was speechless.
Professor Mo Xuan: "…"
"Come on. Give me a hand. There's one last thing I need to do!"
Li Yao struggled to his feet. Supported by the two of them, he staggered to the flag-raising platform that the Immortal Cultivators had deployed on Kunlun in the beginning.
On the top of the flagpole, the black flag of the Imperium of True Human Beings was still flying high.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. Looking at the flag that had a crimson background and was made of three hideous lightning bolts, he extended his fingers and condensed a saber aura of spiritual energy on his fingertips. Then, he waved it softly.
The black flag of lightning immediately fell to the ground.
Li Yao retrieved a new flag from his Cosmos Ring.
In space exploration, a national flag was always something that every explorer carried with them, as long as they had a homeland that they could rely on, trusted, and had to protect!
It was also crimson, but it was much more vivid, vivid, and bright than the crimson of the Imperium of True Human Beings.
In the center of the flag, there was a vivid pattern outlined with golden lines. The upper half of the pattern was a golden dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, while the lower half was nine glittering stars.
It was the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flag, the national flag of the Xing Yao Federation!
When the new flag replaced the black lightning flag of the Imperium of True Human Beings and flapped in the sky of Kunlun, the Immortal Cultivator Su Changfa seemed to have realized something, and his eyelids were cramping nonstop.
"Haven't you always wanted to know who I am, Senior Su?"
Li Yao turned around and smiled. "Now, I can tell you everything clearly, senior.
"Although the stories that you told were very fascinating, and Blackstar the Great was certainly a great man of his time, I'm sorry that I do not intend to change the path that I'm walking on.
"I am a cultivator."
"A Cultivator from the Xing Yao Federation!"
Above Li Yao's head, in the eastern sky, a tiny spark suddenly appeared and expanded at a visible speed, blossoming like a bud.
It was Burning Prairie that had successfully jumped to Kunlun and was entering the atmosphere of Kunlun!
When he realized the scale and speed of Burning Prairie, Su Changfa finally could not help but moan in frustration and desperation!
Five days passed.
The great discovery on Kunlun shocked the entire world of Cultivators.
A Pangu body that boasted abundant living cells and complete gene strands had been found. A living Immortal Cultivator had been captured. An undamaged war base of the Immortal Cultivators and even a Colossus that could be repaired had been found!
The good news made the world of Cultivators seethe with excitement. It was almost like a windfall!
However, the dominance of the Imperium of True Human Beings, the dreadfulness of the Alliance of the Holy Covenant, and the mysterious truth about the origin of human beings cast a mysterious cloud over the future of the new Federation.
Burning Prairie brought a lot of star beacons.
A space gate made of more than three hundred star beacons in a battle array was slowly opened in the sky of Kunlun.
When the three hundred star beacons emitted mystic rays at the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector at the same time, an unobstructed gate seemed to have been opened.
A lot of starships jumped from the three Sectors to the sky of Kunlun incessantly, throwing a lot of mobile camps and laboratories made of metal to Kunlun.
Near the primeval battlefield that Li Yao and the rest of them discovered, a base that belonged to the Xing Yao Federation was officially established and was expanding day after day.
In the near future, the tentacles of the Federation would extend into the deepest part of Kunlun and chew, absorb, and claim every component and even every screw of the planetary warship for their own use!
Li Yao was heavily wounded, and his soul was dry. He could not withstand the twisting and tearing of his soul caused by the space jump.
Besides, he was reluctant to leave the natural paradise that was Kunlun, too.
Kunlun was indeed full of treasures. He could dig a random place with his hoe, and chances were that he would find a few pieces of debris of magical equipment.
Even if he could not study them right now, he could still enjoy himself by looking at the complicated primeval runes on them.
Therefore, Li Yao simply treated his wounds on Kunlun. After all, Ding Ling Dong had come together with Burning Prairie. With her taking care of him, it was no different from being at home.
Five days later, his wounds were more or less healed. Li Yao decided to explore Kunlun again with his exploration team after a long period of silence.
However, a mission that was even more urgent was waiting for him.
"Su Changfa wants to see me?"
The news that Guo Chunfeng brought made Li Yao scratch his head for quite a while.
Compared to the relics of the Pangu on Kunlun, the Immortal Cultivators and their war bases were perhaps trophies that were more important to the Federation.
The reason was simple. No matter how powerful the prehistorical treasures in the Pangu ruins were, they were all from hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even millions of years ago. Eroded by the passage of time, most of them had already decayed.
Even if they were still intact, it was not necessarily possible to figure out how to make use of them. After all, the body structure of the Pangu was different from that of human beings.
The Immortal Cultivators and the Cultivators, on the other hand, belonged to the same era and the same civilization. There was no barrier between them.
The only difference between the two parties was their ideology. There was not the slightest difference in their Cultivation arts.
The Cultivation arts, magical equipment, and techniques of the Immortal Cultivators could be used by the Cultivators without the slightest hindrance.
Besides, an expedition fleet of the Imperium of True Human Beings was lunging at the Federation aggressively.
According to the conversation of Su Changfa and the other Immortal Cultivators, the Immortal Cultivators from the 'Black Wind Sector' were notorious and unpardonable species even within the Imperium.
Therefore, it was all the more necessary to learn a lot of intelligence about them!
For the Federation right now, Su Changfa, a living Immortal Cultivator, was definitely more valuable than the dead Pangu.
Su Changfa was heavily wounded, too, and it was unsuitable for him to perform a long-distance space jump. Therefore, Guo Chunfeng simply led a team of elites from the Secret Sword Bureau to Kunlun in person to interrogate him.
Naturally, this cunning old fox would not be so easily pried open.
He wanted to meet Li Yao. Li Yao could understand why Li Yao wanted to meet him.
After all, the old Immortal Cultivator was probably unwilling to accept the fact that he had been 'killed' by Li Yao.
Li Yao was interested in a deeper understanding of the world of the Immortal Cultivators, too. Therefore, he accepted the invitation gladly and went to the prison cell that the Secret Sword Bureau had prepared for Su Changfa.
Out of his expectation, he found an uninvited guest at the door of the prison cell.
"Master Gui, why are you here?"
Li Yao asked in surprise.
The old man standing in front of him looked both like a giant turtle that was standing on its feet and a mottled stone statue. He was Gui Suishou, the most famous old man in the three Sectors, the 'absolute pessimist', and the initiator of the 'Monument Plan'!
"My young friend Li Yao, nice to meet you!"
It seemed that Gui Suishou was not used to the super gravity on Kunlun. His turtle shell was even heavier than before, but he was still in a good mood. "As you know, I am a historian who is responsible for recording every earth-shattering event when our civilization is approaching its doom!"
"The discovery of Kunlun was certainly a shocking event. Of course, I had to come here and witness everything that our parent civilization created in the legends.
