Gu Changqing did not use full speed at this time, but maintained a relatively normal flight speed.

Along the way, Gu Changqing casually grabbed a few cultivators to search their souls, and finally witnessed the changes that had taken place over the past few thousand years.

Since the chaos of demons and monsters after the Northern Region Grand Competition in the previous life, and the subsequent war between the Holy and Evil races and the internal strife of the Hundred Races, the cultivators of all races on the Heavenly Path Continent have been severely weakened.

The number of mortals from various races gradually increased due to the decrease in cultivators, but the number of mortals had no impact on this world.

The number of mortals has remained relatively stable, but due to the death of the Holy Emperor and the deaths of the Holy Land Guardians, the order that suppressed cultivators of various races on the Heavenly Path Continent has collapsed.

Internal strife among various races continues, and the harmony between humans and other races is no longer what it used to be. Demons have carved out their own territories and established their own without any order or control, and they slaughter mortals without any scruples.

However, due to the decrease in the number of cultivators, the number of mortals could not be completely eradicated, and they continued to be slaughtered like weeds, wave after wave.

The righteous path, due to the drastic reduction in cultivators, has had to rely on a large number of mortals to cultivate spiritual materials and manage demonic beasts, but the required territory is far from sufficient.

Therefore, the righteous path plundered the territory of the demonic path. Since the demonic path was no weaker than the righteous path, the righteous path suffered heavy losses and only managed to take away a few small territories from the demonic path.

It couldn't even make up for the losses caused by conquering the demonic path.

However, just as the righteous path of humanity and the demonic path were locked in a stalemate, the alien races had temporarily fallen into a state of calm. It turned out that a king had emerged among the alien races, who had regained control of the race and recovered.

They joined forces with the righteous path of humanity to suppress the demonic path, and the demonic path suffered repeated defeats under the combined attack of the two sides, eventually retreating to numerous islands in the sea.

The righteous path, on the other hand, divided the four regions of the Heavenly Path Continent among the alien races. The alien races occupied the eastern and western regions, while the human race occupied the northern and southern regions. Furthermore, the human race was weaker than the alien races.

Every hundred years, the human race would offer a group of mortals and low-level cultivators as tribute for the cultivation and crafting of magical artifacts by other races. Unlike the human race, most of the other races preferred human blood, and human bodies were also useful for crafting magical artifacts for other races.

Therefore, the human race within the two alien realms is not enough, and tribute is needed from the two righteous realms.

Most of the humans who were offered tribute were also turned into slaves of the other races, marked with a symbol. Regardless of their cultivation level, their lives and deaths were in the hands of the other races.

After sorting through the events that had occurred on the Tian Tu Continent over the past thousand years, Gu Changqing continued flying towards the central region.

Just as Gu Changqing was flying over a high mountain, a human cultivator suddenly flew towards him from the front, followed by several alien races.

Upon closer inspection, the human cultivator was a stunningly beautiful woman with the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but her body was covered in blood.

Behind him were three alien races who were also at the late Nascent Soul stage. The female cultivator, seeing Gu Changqing in human form and with such a handsome appearance, assumed he was a righteous genius of the human race.

Then, with a face full of excitement, he loudly cried out to Gu Changqing for help:

"Young master, please help me escape from the clutches of these alien races."

At this moment, Gu Changqing, who was flying in the sky, coldly watched the beautiful female cultivator who was calling for help from him and flying towards him.

Gu Changqing stopped flying, hovering in the sky. When the female cultivator saw Gu Changqing stop, she thought he was going to save her, so she accelerated and flew towards Gu Changqing's side, ignoring the alien pursuers behind her.

Gu Changqing coldly watched as the beautiful female cultivator transformed into a colorful ray of light and flew towards him. He simply waved his hands slightly, and the surrounding spiritual energy gathered in his hands.

It then transformed into a streak of black light and flew toward the beautiful female cultivator. Before she could react, the black light struck her body.

At this moment, the beautiful female cultivator also sensed that the aura emanating from Gu Changqing was not that of a human. Already injured, she had been struck by the black mystic light, and could only barely float in the air. Her face filled with despair, she spoke in a muffled voice:

"Why...why are you not...human, and yet you ambushed me? I hate you!"

Gu Changqing merely stared coldly at the beautiful female cultivator who was already on the verge of death, and casually unleashed another strike of profound light.

At this moment, the female cultivator no longer had the strength to raise her hand to gather spiritual energy to block it, and could only watch helplessly as the mysterious light flew towards her.

As the mysterious light struck the female cultivator, the stunningly beautiful woman was also swallowed up by the light and turned into dust.

Meanwhile, the alien race members arrived and were about to question him about why he had killed the beautiful female cultivator.

However, sensing that Gu Changqing's cultivation level far surpassed that of the three of them, and that he was not a human cultivator, the leader's face, which had been filled with anger because of the death of his prey, became respectful.

After the three men bowed to Gu Changqing, the leading alien smiled and respectfully said to Gu Changqing:

"Senior, please forgive me. This human cultivator was a slave in my territory who was about to receive the mark, but I didn't expect her to escape and cause you trouble."

Gu Changqing, however, remained calm and said indifferently:

"Do you know exactly where the Heavenly Court is located?"

When the leading alien heard Gu Changqing's question, although he was somewhat puzzled as to why a senior of such cultivation would appear in human territory, he still respectfully replied:

"Senior, the Heavenly Court is located in the Eastern Region, which belongs to my alien race."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changting also had a guess.

Seeing that Gu Changqing did not answer, the leader of the alien race dared not leave and could only bite the bullet and continue to ask:

"Senior, may we leave now?"

Gu Changqing looked at the three alien races with a cold expression. He simply stretched out his hand, and the three alien races felt a powerful suction force pulling them toward Gu Changqing.
