The seemingly primitive flying sword actually involved a lot of mysterious theories in the field of 'string theory', 'membrane theory', and even quantum algorithms. Even the civilization of the Xing Yao Federation might not have been able to produce it.
By logic, it was impossible for such a civilization whose social form was still in the medieval era to have produced such a flying sword.
However, based on Su Changfa's theory and his experience from Ou Yezi's memory pieces, Li Yao came up with a very reasonable explanation for the puzzling phenomenon.
The reason was simple. Such magical equipment that seemed far ahead of its time often boasted the core units or rune arrays left by the Pangu Clan or the Nuwa Clan in the primeval era.
The latecomers were merely adding new ancillary units to the scraps of the primeval magical equipment.
It was like a primitive man in the Stone Age who picked up a military dagger made with modern technology.
The primitive man did not need to understand the refining technology of alloys, the structural principles, and the methods of light and degaussing that the modern dagger adopted. He could tie the dagger to a bone or a twig and 'refine' the dagger into an 'indestructible' divine weapon!
Making such a dagger from scratch was ten thousand times more difficult than tying the dagger to a stick!
Therefore, there were a lot of marvelous treasures in the ancient Cultivators' era that the modern Cultivation civilization could not imagine.
It was not that the ancient people were smarter than the modern people. It was just that the ancient people lived in an era closer to the primeval era, and it was easier for them to excavate the scraps of the primeval magical equipment. With the units of the primeval magical equipment as the cores, it was only natural that they could assemble the most mysterious ultimate treasures.
After the ancient Cultivators wasted all the primeval treasures, the modern Cultivation civilization would have no heritage to inherit. Naturally, it would be more difficult for them to develop.
Of course, 'easy' was only relatively speaking.
At the very least, in Li Yao's memory, in the world of ancient Cultivators where Ou Yezi lived, it was definitely a great event that would attract the attention of the local tyrants.
The primeval treasures were ownerless and could only be owned by the virtuous ones. What was' virtuous'? The biggest fist was the virtuous one!
In Ou Yezi's world, only the experts above the Yuanying Clan were qualified to own a primeval treasure.
And in this world, even a mere expert like Jin Dan was qualified to control a flying sword with a prehistoric ancient treasure as its core.
It could be seen that she either had a noble identity, a special status, and had a powerful sect to take care of her, or there were many fragments of ancient treasures in this world, which were not as rare as they were in other ancient cultivation worlds.
Li Yao made the decision in his heart in the blink of an eye.
When the orchid flower on the white-clothed woman's sleeve completely bloomed, the fat bald man's mountain-like body exploded with a loud bang and disintegrated, turning into a pool of flesh and blood.
Such a terrifying scene caused all the savages to let out strange cries of terror.
The fact that their leader had been killed so cleanly meant that they no longer had any room to fight back. When the cold and indifferent female cultivator in white drew her sword again, it would not be as simple as a few dozen barbarian soldiers that had died.
Many of the savages let out a shout and fled.
The situation was suddenly reversed. The emperor's army was like a ferocious tiger that had come down from the mountain, chasing after the enemy relentlessly.
However, the mountains were high and the forests were dense. The army was scattered in the woods, and there were too many variables. Even with the help of the white-clothed female cultivator's secret swords, they still had to pay a high price.
The 'Appeasing Ambassador' who was holding the double truncheons was a seasoned soldier, too. He immediately retreated and cleaned up the mess.
While they cleaned the battlefield, finished the barbarian soldiers, and saved their allies, Li Yao began to write his first observation report.
"Li Yao's observation report of an alternate world, Phase One."
"On the first day after I landed on the mysterious world, I observed a competition between two local armies.
"This planet has a main continent with a relatively stable geological structure. On the east side of the continent is a fertile plateau caused by a great river that is parallel to the equator.
"Therefore, this place seems to be governed by a relatively civilized dynasty in the central plateaus, which boasted a bureaucratic system that was enough to develop posts such as' Appeasing Ambassador '.
"However, the dynasty's control over the entire planet has not reached 100% yet. There may be some half-civilized barbarians who are not convinced of the rule in the forests and on the prairies at the edge of the continent.
"Otherwise, the post of 'Appeasing Ambassador' wouldn't have been necessary at all.
"The planet boasts abundant spiritual energy and high oxygen content. The snakes, insects, rats, and ants are relatively large in size, and the bodies of human beings are extremely tough. Both the army of the central dynasty and the warriors of the barbarians at the border boasted physical strength, strength, and speed that far exceeded that of the ordinary people in the modern world. With modern training, it is very possible that they will become a well-trained army!
"The fierce battle that took place just now seemed to be a barbarian army ambushing the army of the central dynasty, but in fact, it was very likely that the emperor's army had foreseen that such an attack would happen and lured the enemy to attack so that they could take the opportunity to execute the enemy's leader!
"It suggests that both the emperor's army and the barbarian army boast the ability to formulate complicated strategies and schemes. They are both rather cunning and sordid. We cannot consider them to be idiotic primitives just because their civilization is underdeveloped.
"Besides, the number of Cultivators and those who carry the blood of demons in the two armies is extremely high. Judging from the ratio, they are already more than the Class A regular legions of the Star Glory Federation. Considering that the land area of this Sector is so large, and the land that is suitable for farming and reproduction is so vast, perhaps the number of Cultivators in this Sector will far exceed our estimation.
"In terms of equipment, the weapons and magical equipment used by the common soldiers and the low-level Cultivators in this Sector are relatively low-level and do not exceed the average level of the ancient Cultivators. They are incomparable to the modern magical equipment made of thousands of components.
"However, it is very likely that there are a lot of scraps of primeval treasures in this Sector. With the ancient treasures as the cores, it is possible to craft powerful super magical equipment that is even more powerful than the modern magical equipment.
"What we have seen so far is just a competition between two common armies of this Sector. It is not the most elite 'Imperial Guards' or the private troops of the Cultivation sects that are even more powerful than the Imperial Guards.
"However, it is not hard to tell from the tip of the iceberg that the capability of this Sector is not weak. Even though they are unable to compete with the enormous war system of the modern Cultivation civilization in the vast plateaus and the vacuum, it will be quite a headache if a squad of ancient Cultivators from this Sector breaks into our starships and engages in a melee battle in the narrow cabins.
"So far, no remote attack ability that can cross the sea of stars has been found in this Sector.
"However, we have to consider such a serious problem.
"The Imperium of True Human Beings does boast such an ability!
"What if the expedition army of the Imperium got in touch with this Sector and bribed the experts of this Sector with magical equipment, secret Cultivation arts, or even the land and population of the Federation and established a 'Yuanying Mercenary Army' or even a 'Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator Assault Team'?
"It is a very common approach of the Imperium of True Human Beings when it colonizes the outer space.
"The locals fight the locals. After the locals are exhausted and both sides suffer heavy losses, the army of the Imperium will reap the benefits unstoppably!
"In the meantime, the 'ancient Cultivators' who are still living in the classical era and do not know the dangers of the outside world will not be difficult to be bought over.
"We have to avoid such a situation from happening and even give them a taste of their own medicine. If we cannot form an alliance with this Sector, at the very least, the experts of this Sector should not be hired by the Imperium but by the Federation!
"Although the Imperium is strong, the Federation, having digested and absorbed the Kunlun relics, may be able to offer more attractive terms to win the support of the ancient Cultivators of this Sector and establish an 'overseas mercenary army of the Xing Yao Federation'!
"What I've said is just my preliminary observation. As to whether or not this Sector is as simple as it appears to be, or if deeper secrets are hidden, including what the mysterious signal a hundred years ago was exactly, further exploration will be required."
Li Yao finished the first observation report. The battlefield was almost cleaned up, too. The forest that had been seething with blood was quiet again.
Li Yao rubbed his temples softly, thinking about how he should deal with the 'Appeasing Ambassador of the Fifth Prefecture of the Southland of Sorcerers'.
It was not because he was partial to the 'rightful government' and only had the court in his eyes.
For him, who considered all the human beings in the three thousand Sectors as his compatriots, both the 'emperor's army' and the barbarians in the forest were more or less the same.
Li Yao could even accept the demons who had eight legs. He was a 'monster' who could grow fangs and claws after a sneeze. Why would he discriminate against the seemingly hideous barbarians?
However, he had been wandering in space for a hundred years, and the Black Wind Fleet of the Imperium of True Human Beings could arrive at any moment. He did not have much time left.
He was not interested in playing tricks and pretending that he was going to level up step by step from scratch. He had to talk to the highest government and the strongest person of the Sector on equal terms as soon as possible.
From what he could see, the highest government in this Sector was probably the court behind the Appeasing Ambassador, and the strongest expert was either the emperor himself or the leaders of the few sects or noble families who regarded the emperor as a puppet. All in all, it was impossible to avoid the circle.
"This army is very elite. Every soldier has a badge and a number. Also, everybody knows each other. It is unlikely that I can sneak in as a soldier for now. Even if I do, I don't think that I can get much useful intelligence.
"Then, should I disguise myself as a barbarian soldier?
"No. They are quite decisive and merciless to the barbarians. They do not keep any captives at all!
"Should I … Huh. What's this?"
Li Yao was considering the infiltration plan when he suddenly sensed subtle waves.
Neltharion activated all the scanning magical equipment to the maximum. Very soon, it locked onto a mosquito with bright gold wings in the bushes nearby!
The mosquito, which seemed to be commonly seen in forests and was no smaller than a dragonfly, was entangled by a tiny telepathic thought that extended to the depths of the mountain like a hairpin.
Somebody was controlling the mosquito with telepathic thoughts far away.
