Capítulo 2051: Chapter 786: Ability Transfer (Part 2)
The two of them didn’t go to Yan Fei’s room to rest; instead, they strolled by the lakeside in the valley. Yan Fei pushed Captain China slowly along, allowing him to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides.
Yan Fei said, “Captain, your body isn’t very convenient. If you want to see me, just let me know, and I’ll come directly to you. Why did you have to come to me in person?”
Captain China looked at the beautiful sea of flowers on both sides of the lake and sighed, “I have always longed for the legendary paradise, but I know I will never see a real paradise in this lifetime. Yet here in the Dreamland Cave World, I see such a beautiful place, like a paradise that intoxicates people.”
Yan Fei was a bit stunned, unsure why Captain China was saying this. Captain China turned his head, looked at Yan Fei, and said, “Yan Fei, haven’t you noticed? Traces of cultivators have appeared around us.”
Even though Yan Fei had faced the cultivators, he hadn’t shared this intelligence with anyone else because the cultivators were too powerful, and others couldn’t help him. Knowing that the Dreamland Cave World was facing attacks from cultivators could cause panic and disrupt the originally orderly world. He thought he was the only one who knew about the cultivators here, but he didn’t expect Captain China to know about them too.
Yan Fei asked, “Captain, how do you know about the appearance of the cultivators?”
Captain China sighed and said, “Yan Fei, my family lineage goes back to the ancient Yellow Emperor. We know many secrets unknown to ordinary people and possess many strange abilities, including the detection of the aura of cultivators. Whenever a cultivator appears around, I immediately sense it, although I cannot pinpoint their exact location.”
Yan Fei didn’t expect that Captain China would have such an ability. It seems that a family with such an ancient lineage is truly formidable. The reason Captain China cannot sense the exact location of the cultivators is that they are located outside the Space Crystal Wall of the Dreamland Cave World; their locations can only be sensed but not described.
Curious, Yan Fei asked, “Captain, what’s different about the cultivators? Why does your family detect the aura of cultivators?”
Captain China’s face fell into a reminiscence, saying nothing for a long time. Just when Yan Fei thought Captain China had fallen asleep, he suddenly spoke, “Our family has been passed down for so long, and we know many ancient secrets. Some believe we are heirs of the Cultivation Civilization, naturally close to it, but what they don’t know is that when the Cultivation Civilization enlightened our human ancestors on Earth and taught us cultivation techniques, they did not do so with good intentions. Their goal was to treat Earth humans as fruit trees in a farm, and once the fruits matured, these cultivators would harvest.”
Yan Fei said, “Fruit trees and fruits in a farm? What’s this about?”
Captain China said, “When those cultivators escaped from the Cosmic Human Prison, their lifespans were greatly damaged and they wouldn’t live much longer. To gain a longer lifespan, these cultivators split into two factions: one wanted to go into the universe and gain the essence of life by slaughtering cosmic life to extend their lifespan. The other faction was very old and didn’t want to leave Earth, so they decided to cultivate Earth humans. When strong Earth humans emerged, they would kill them to gain strong life essence, thus extending their lifespan.”
“At that time, there weren’t many humans on Earth. Even if they killed all the ignorant Earth humans, it wouldn’t extend the lifespan of any cultivator. So they decided not to act on Earth humans at that time but to treat them as fruit trees to cultivate. To make these fruit trees grow stronger, the cultivators who stayed on Earth invested heavily, using the Heavenly Treasures they carried to push the strength of Earth humans to high levels in a short time.”
“But just when the cultivators were about to harvest these Earth humans, their conspiracy was discovered by the Earth humans. All the strong Earth humans united, launching a surprise attack and killing those cultivators, finally freeing Earth humans from the destiny of being fruits in a cultivator’s orchard, and truly liberating Earth humans from the control of cultivators.”
Yan Fei was shocked, never expecting to learn such an ancient secret from Captain China. He had always wondered why those cultivators helped humans on Earth, but never thought their idea was to plant fruit trees. It turned out these fruit trees developed self-awareness and took down the plantation owner. He asked, “But as far as I know, there’s no such thing in the Cultivation Civilization as gaining lifespan by absorbing others’ life essence. How did they have such a technique?”
Captain China said, “Indeed, even when the Cultivation Civilization still existed, they wouldn’t allow such an evil technique to appear. At that time, there was an evil fiend in the Cultivation Civilization who created this sinister technique, gaining powerful strength and long life by slaughtering cultivators’ lives. But under the encirclement of cultivation experts, this evil fiend fell, and his technique was lost. Who would have thought that among the survivor cultivators who broke free, one knew this sinister technique and spread it, allowing all surviving cultivators to learn it.”
