Chapter 293 The Crisis of the Earth(1/2)
All sects that can gain a foothold in a universe filled with strong men are extremely aggressive.
This is the case with the Netherworld Sect and the Reincarnation Sect. One refers to sending people into the Netherworld, and the other refers to sending people into reincarnation. The names alone are not good.
In fact, this is exactly the case. These two sects killed countless people in that universe, occupied countless small worlds, and caused many crimes.
But it was impossible for these two sects alone to manage so many small worlds, so some sects attached themselves.
For example, the Blood Sun Sect, the Destroying God Sect and the Shadow Moon Sect are all thugs of the Netherworld Sect and the Reincarnation Sect.
Some planets that are not very powerful are taken over by these thug sects, but after they are occupied, they will still be managed in the name of Netherworld Sect and Samsara Sect. In fact, they are using the skin of a tiger as a banner.
As for Tianhai Sect and Danxin Sect, the situation is a bit more special.
In that universe, Tianhaizong's main business is to carry out cosmic commerce. On any planet, there are Tianhaizong's transactions.
Not only do they do business on the cultivator civilization planet, they also have a lot of contacts with technological civilizations. They exchange knowledge and skills between the two civilizations, and their business is very large.
Even the Netherworld Sect and the Samsara Sect are not willing to offend the Tianhai Sect easily. After all, sects that mainly focus on robbery still need channels for selling stolen goods, so the Tianhai Sect has become famous.
As for the Danxin Sect, it is a sect that specializes in refining elixirs. Basically, all the elixirs in that universe come from the Danxin Sect.
However, both the Netherworld Sect and the Samsara Sect wanted to take over the Danxin Sect and were wary of each other, which in turn made the Danxin Sect's status transcendent.
In addition, the leader of the Danxin Sect is also a powerful person with unfathomable cultivation. This ensures that the Danxin Sect has not become a vassal of any force and is relatively independent in the universe.
"Just two sects occupy countless planets?"
After listening to what Master Yue said, Su Xiaofan felt a little heavy. There were definitely cultivators in the Netherworld Sect and the Samsara Sect who were comparable to the third-level civilization in the universe.
You must know that the current Su Xiaofan is only a planet-level cultivator, and there are star-level and galaxy-level cultivators above it. The power of such cultivators is not even something Su Xiaofan can guess.
"Is there any way they can find the earth?"
Su Xiaofan looked at Zhenren Yue. What Su Xiaofan was most worried about was that the earth would be discovered.
With the way the Netherworld Sect and the Samsara Sect behave, if the earth is discovered by them, it will definitely be invaded and occupied by them.
According to Master Yue, the people in these two sects were cruel and would even sacrifice the souls of ordinary people to refine magic weapons. For the earth, that would be a disaster.
"It's hard to say, they have been studying the Ancient Teleportation Formation."
A wry smile appeared on Zhenren Yue's face, "Our knowledge of cultivation is too low, and we don't have access to high-level cultivators from the Reincarnation Sect. I don't know how it will progress."
"I heard someone say that they must have thought of a way."
Immortal Capital Cave Heaven Master Zhao's spiritual consciousness suddenly fluctuated, "They seem to be buying the repair method of the ancient teleportation array from the scientific and technological civilization, but the price offered there is too high, and they have never reached an agreement."
"Hmm? The Ancient Teleportation Formation is a product of scientific and technological civilization?" Su Xiaofan was stunned when he heard this. He thought that this formation was something from the civilization of cultivators.
"Of course, I heard that only a cosmic civilization of level seven or above can create a teleportation array." Zhao Zhenren obviously knows more about this aspect of knowledge.
Don't look at the four people in front of you, they are all figures from the ancient times of the earth.
But in terms of knowledge, they who have been in the Seven-Star World for a hundred years are much more knowledgeable than Su Xiaofan and others. They open and close their mouths like the civilization of the universe. They were dumbfounded when they heard Su Weixuan.
"Then if they come to the earth through the teleportation array, wouldn't the earth be in danger?"
Su Xiaofan, who was calm before, was really panicking now.
Previously, Su Xiaofan was naturally aloof because the matter had nothing to do with him, but the development of the matter seemed to be beyond his imagination.
"Well, every little world is precious, and they won't give it up."
Master Yue smiled bitterly and said: "And the Qingyun World before the Seven Stars World seems to have hidden some secrets. They also want to find this secret through the small world of the Earth."
"Is there a secret on the earth?" Su Xiaofan almost stopped jumping. In addition to being sealed, the earth has a fart secret.
Those who sealed the earth may not have expected that the old nest protected by the seal would soon be found by others.
"Where is the previous owner of Qingyun World?"
Su Xiaofan asked. His shoulders were too small to bear the burden of protecting the earth. Whoever caused the trouble would solve the problem.
"I don't know. I heard that there was a very powerful sect in Qingyun World a long time ago."
Zhao Zhenren recalled what he heard in the Reincarnation Sect, "But I don't know what happened later. This sect gradually disappeared within a hundred years, which turned the Qingyun World into an ownerless planet."
Master Zhao and other cultivators who came from the earth were also secretly inquiring about the news about the Qingyun World. After all, the former master of the Qingyun World was most likely the sect that sealed the earth.
But time has passed so long that even the disciples of the Reincarnation Sect can’t figure out what happened in the past. A few of them didn’t even know the name of the previous sect in the Qingyun World.
"No matter how powerful a sect is, it will eventually disappear."
Su Xiaofan sighed. These people in front of him were not immortal figures in legends, respected by thousands of people.
But today, it has become neither human nor ghost, and it is even impossible to leave this space crack, and I don't know when it will dissipate.
"Son, is our earth about to be invaded?"
Su Weixuan heard some meaning from the side, and there was a look of panic on his face.
Su Weixuan is the kind of person who can tolerate loneliness. As long as he can watch his wife and children on the hot bed, he will be very satisfied.
But he also understands that if the nest is overturned, the eggs will not be intact. If those alien cultivators find the earth, they and other cultivators may become slaves.
"Dad, what you said is very likely." Su Xiaofan took a deep breath.
To be honest, Su Xiaofan's temperament is 30% like that of Su Weixuan and 40% like that of Xuan Rui.
Unfortunately, both of them didn't like fighting, so Su Xiaofan didn't have any big ambitions before and just wanted to live a peaceful life.
But Su Xiaofan has been living alone with his sister since he was a child. He also has a fierce temper and acts much more decisively than Su Weixuan and his wife.
Ever since he was bullied since he was a child, Su Xiaofan has never swallowed his anger and would fight back directly, even daring to kill him.
When he was in the first grade, Su Xiaofan would chase three fourth-grade children with a brick. He was the kind of person who would never be bullied by others.
So at this moment, a heavy burden suddenly fell on Su Xiaofan's shoulders.
He wanted the people who sealed the earth to solve the problem, but those people had disappeared for who knows how many years, and the distant water could not satisfy the near thirst.
"Xiaofan, why don't you leave the earth."
Su Weixuan looked sad, "If it's possible, take Xiaoxiao, Zixuan and the others away. There are still billions of people on the earth. Those people won't kill us all, right?"
Su Weixuan was not sad about the spring and autumn, but he was a little desperate in his heart. The cultivators on the earth simply could not compete with the sects mentioned by Zhenren Yue.
"Dad, it's not to the point you said."
Su Xiaofan shook his head and looked at Zhenren Zhao in the Immortal Capital Cave Heaven, "How long will it take them to purchase the repair method of the teleportation array from the technological civilization?"
"It's hard to say. It could be as fast as three to five years or as slow as 30 to 50 years."
Zhao Zhenren hesitated for a moment and said: "In the universe, cultivator civilization and technological civilization do not get along very well. The trade between them is carried out through Tianhai Sect."
There are fundamental differences between the civilization of cultivators and the civilization of science and technology. One emphasizes personal evolution, while the other emphasizes the overall technological evolution of society. They are fundamentally different.
Of course, this does not mean that the cultivator civilization does not use technology, nor does it mean that there are no people in the technological civilization who practice cultivation.
There are just priorities. On a planet with cultivator civilization, cultivators are the main ones, and technological means are only auxiliary.
Scientific and technological civilization is based on technology, and cultivators must also abide by the rules of the technological planet and carry out personal cultivation and evolution under the rules.
As a result, there is basically no direct communication between the two civilizations. If you want to communicate or trade, you have to go through the middleman of Tianhaizong.
Interstellar trade often takes a long time, especially trade between different galaxies. It is fast every three to five years, and it is normal to make a trip every three to fifty years.
Therefore, according to Zhao Zhenren's inference, even if Tianhaizong can purchase the method to repair the moving array, it will take three to five years at the earliest.
"Three to five years in the Seven Star World..."
Hearing Master Zhao's words, Su Xiaofan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The time is mine, so there is no need to panic.
You must know that the time ratios of the Seven Star World and the Earth are different, and the difference is very large.
It is impossible to determine the time when Yue Zhenren and the Lords of the Cave Heaven left, but according to Su Xiaofan's calculation, it must have been at least five thousand years or more.
Thousands or even tens of thousands of years have passed on the earth, while only a hundred years have passed in the seven-star world. This is almost a ratio of several hundred to one.
Based on this calculation, even if the Seven-Star World can repair the teleportation array in only two or three years, then thousands of years have passed on the earth.
Therefore, Su Xiaofan has enough time to improve himself. He can also repair the incomplete system first, purchase technological civilization from it, and develop earth's technology as quickly as possible.
With a buffer of more than a thousand years, Su Xiaofan believes that Earth's technology will definitely break through the seal and become a truly technologically advanced and civilized planet in the universe.
When the cosmic civilization of the Milky Way galaxy is added, the earth will also have a protective umbrella.
At that time, even if the cultivators from the Seven-Star Great World arrive, even if the earth is invincible, it will still be able to advance or retreat after becoming a cosmic civilization. At the worst, it will have to leave home and find a livable planet again.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaofan really relaxed. He is now afraid of the cultivators of the Seven Star World, but that may not be the case in a thousand years.
"For the time being, there is nothing to worry about."
Obviously Master Yue and the others have also thought about the problem of time conversion. Otherwise, if the cultivators from the Seven Star World chase after them, they would be the ones most afraid of them.
"That is not bad."
Su Xiaoxiao, the second daughter, and Xuan Rui all breathed a sigh of relief.
They live in a civilized society and cannot imagine what it would be like to be enslaved.
"However, we must prepare for a rainy day. Thousands of years will pass by in a blink of an eye..." The Lords of the Cave Heaven did not have the mentality of Su Xiaofan and others.
They don't know how many years they lived before they left the earth. For them, a thousand years is sometimes just a time of retreat.
