Hearing these earth-shattering secrets, although Wang Zheng had already guessed it in his heart, he was still somewhat stunned when he received confirmation from the two leaders.

Wang Zheng originally thought that the limit was that there were powerful cultivators living in seclusion within the cave.

After all, even the legendary blessed lands and grotto-heavens in his memory had limited internal space.

But he never imagined that each of these caves was a world unto itself, and that there was a group of cultivators who had long since migrated there.

As for the cultivation method Zhao Yucai mentioned, which is different from that of modern awakened individuals, Wang Zheng was already speculating whether it was a world of Qi cultivation and immortality.

After inquiring with the two powerful figures and receiving replies that they were unaware of the cultivation methods of the cultivators inside the cave, Young Master Wang dared not say anything more.

He made up his mind that he could no longer speak recklessly. If what he thought was true, there might still be those ancient monsters alive.

Cultivating immortality and supernatural abilities are not comparable; one should at least have a sense of awe...

As for the information that the traitor Tianmo Ruan Ruan had mentioned, it had all come together by now.

First, Blue Star revived for unknown reasons, then it was discovered by the hyena-like demons from beyond the realm. They then launched a massive invasion, but were eventually repelled.

It now seems that it was the cultivators within the cave who made the move.

After a year of fierce fighting against the extraterrestrial demon army, they could not withstand the endless pressure and retreated back to Blue Star. They activated the formation, completely sealed off the boundary, and cut off contact with the outside world.

At the same time, with their return, the grotto-heaven opened, and various strange phenomena began to appear on Blue Star. Under the influence of spiritual energy, all kinds of wild beasts also began to evolve...

From this moment on, Earth truly entered the Age of Spiritual Energy!

Although this is just Wang Zheng's personal speculation, it is pretty close to the truth. This also corresponds to the fact that the Heavenly Demons are currently unable to launch a large-scale invasion of Blue Star and can only send some low-level Heavenly Demons to probe.

Besides, there are other clues hidden within this.

At least we can know that those guys in the cave who had long abandoned the blue planet were actually no match for the demons.

Although it is unknown how they opened the barrier, it is an undeniable fact that they are about to be unable to withstand it, based on the testimony of the Heavenly Demons.

These so-called monks must be quite anxious too.

After all, we can tell from the two big shots that the communication between the cultivators on Blue Star and in the Cave Heaven is not harmonious.

Judging from their attitude towards Blue Star, and the fact that they couldn't resist the Heavenly Demon but didn't run away, instead returning to Blue Star to set up the so-called formation, this so-called cave heaven is very likely to be one with Blue Star.

At the very least, it's a small world dependent on Earth. If Earth is truly destroyed by the Heavenly Demon, this so-called blessed land and grotto-heaven will likely disappear at the same time.

Old Zhao saw through this, which is why he said that regardless of whether they did it intentionally or out of necessity, they still saved billions of people on Earth.

At this moment, Wang Zheng finally understood why the country had been hiding this information all along.

We have no choice but to keep it a secret. What does it mean to be beset by internal and external troubles? Well, this is it.

On the blue planet, strange beasts and demon kings frequently wreak havoc, engaging in frequent wars with humans for resources and living space.

The conflict between the two is irreconcilable; this is a battle between races.

As for the distant void, there exists another powerful race, a natural enemy of all living beings, eyeing the entire planet with predatory intent.

If we are not careful, the doomsday scenario that Chi Bofei described that day may very well become a reality.

Moreover, even their only ally at this moment is an old relic left over from feudal society.

If these feudal remnants are truly the kind of immortal cultivators from novels and stories that Wang Zheng imagines, then they certainly don't consider the humans on Earth as equals.

The bad news kept coming one after another, and there was absolutely no good news. If this got out, there would be no need to wait for any strange beasts or demons to attack; the people's hearts would be broken, and this world would be finished.

Hearing this, Wang Zheng felt a sense of urgency and continued to press for answers:

"I think I've figured out the relationship between these grotto-heaven cultivators and ancient sects, but what about the connection between cultivation techniques and ruins that you mentioned earlier?"

Seeing that the topic had circled back to the present, Zhao Yucai ignored the still angry Old Li and continued to explain to Wang Zheng:

"It's related. You should have realized it by now. The red dots on the map you sent are what we call the forbidden areas, or what you call ancient ruins."

As for what you said before, that the visualization method and the external training method were derived from the ruins, that is not entirely wrong.

Currently, there are four types of exercises in the country.

The first type is the awakening transmission that you are familiar with after manifesting a visualized object.

Even though this technique was personally recorded by the person in question, we are currently unable to decipher it, let alone guarantee its accuracy. Therefore, we cannot practice it and can only seal it away for future discovery.

The second type is the heritage discovered from unsealed ruins.

Although these kinds of cultivation manuals are also written in ancient script, they are much simpler than those handwritten from the world of consciousness, and most of them have illustrations and annotations, making them much easier to decipher.

The cultivators in the cave were also very interested in these two cultivation methods.
