357 People Raised in Captivity
This was Geyuan Town, an ancient town.
As for how ancient it was?
It was said that the place could be traced back to the Suiren family in Chinese mythology because it was here that the Suiren family ignited the initial enlightenment flame and broke through the ignorance of the ancestors of the human race.
However, Geyuan Town’s location had already been relocated.
The accurate old site of Geyuan Town was still dozens of miles away. It had been completely abandoned, leaving only an ancient stone well.
The well was still covered with a yellow mud slab left behind by the Suiren family after their deaths.
As for why the ancient stone well was covered with yellow mud and why Geyuan Town had to move the entire town, no one knew.
It had been too long. It was more than a thousand years ago.
Even the disciples of the Sainthood could only rely on their heart force to live for more than a hundred years. A thousand years was simply too long for the ordinary people of Geyuan Town.
As a result, the residents of Geyuan Town had long since forgotten the traditional law requiring that the stone well be guarded.
At this moment, the petite figure who climbed out of the stone well finally decided to go to the town she could see because she really couldn’t find what she wanted in the place she was currently in.
Therefore, the petite figure used her two small hands to form a shelter. After finding a suitable mountain path, she hopped toward the human town with her two short legs.
However, after a short distance, she suddenly froze. She remembered something important.
“I think I can use my mother’s dragon’s core to transform into a dragon and travel!”
The petite figure grumbled in annoyance and took out a few bloody dragon cores from the small silk pouch she carried with her.
Due to the uniqueness of the small silk pouch as well as the nourishment of her cultivation ability, the few dragon cores not only maintained their appearance but also became even stronger.
However, due to the uniqueness of this world, the few dragon cores were also firmly suppressed!
Otherwise, just the appearance of the few dragon cores was enough to create a world-shaking phenomenon between heaven and earth.
It was because the few dragon cores were strong enough to make anyone who consumed one of them instantly possess the terrifying combat power of an Incarnation stage cultivator!
The petite figure swallowed a dragon’s core. Immediately, a petite black-green dragon appeared in the sky.
This world restricted magical powers, cultivation abilities, divine consciousness, vision, and even divine powers and secret techniques. However, there were no restrictions on the transformation of authentic spirits.
It was because it was a method of using heart force.
The disciples of the Sacred School with a better background and legacy could even open the mountains and seas with a thought, change the wind and clouds with a word, kill enemies with a thought, and settle the world with a word.
…
At the same time, Fang Jinyu, who was on his way, was suddenly stunned.
“Why is there a sense of blood connection?”
Fang Jinyu looked around strangely. Although the surroundings were still a forbidden area for humans, he didn’t feel wrong. His “bloodline” did indeed exist in this world.
“But where did my bloodline come from?”
Using his claws as a human hand, Fang Jinyu stroked his dragon’s chin for a while. Afterward, he decided to look at the place where the blood connection was.
Fang Jinyu wanted to know why this world would have his “child.”
Could it be that while he was unconscious, someone was so thirsty that they wouldn’t even let a dragon go?
Fang Jinyu’s journey was long, and the place he was in was indeed a forbidden area for humans. No one alive dared to enter.
The forbidden zone was extremely vast!
In this world, 90% of the places were forbidden zones for living people, and only 10% of the places were places where humans lived.
Fang Jinyu didn’t deliberately increase his speed, but he didn’t slow down either. As he flew, he looked around.
Of course, Fang Jinyu didn’t see anyone today.
However, it wasn’t as if Fang Jinyu didn’t have any gains today. Following the strange feeling of “blood connection,” he finally saw something that looked like a human!
“Following the bloodline sensation was indeed the right choice!” Fang Jinyu was a little happy, so he instantly increased his speed. After controlling the wind and clouds, in just a breath’s time, his dragon body had moved more than ten miles and arrived in front of the cultivator with some human characteristics.
It was a cultivator with a back and two wings, like a bird.
However, he didn’t rely on the wings on his back to float in the void. Instead, he relied on a unique strength.
At this moment, the bird-like cultivator didn’t notice Fang Jinyu’s sudden appearance. He was holding a pen and a bamboo scroll and was constantly writing something.
It was a language that Fang Jinyu had never seen before.
Strangely enough, these characters were of a high grade and seemed to be only inferior to immortal symbols. However, there was an encryption mechanism that prevented others from understanding the meaning of these characters.
However, it was naturally not a problem for Fang Jinyu, who had divine consciousness.
Thus, after Fang Jinyu snatched the bamboo slip with his claw, he began to comprehend it with his divine consciousness.
The other claw grabbed the bird-like cultivator, and before the bird-like cultivator could say anything or do anything, the claw exerted a little force and knocked him unconscious.
A moment later, Fang Jinyu had already cracked the encryption method for these words. At the same time, he also understood what the contents of the bamboo slips were.
“It has been 1,729 years since the human race was exterminated. Unfortunately, even with our assistance, the path of heart force has remained stagnant at the Immortal Summoning stage. In my opinion, the fact that the path of heart force is monopolized by a small group of humans was the key to hindering the development of the path of heart force! Those who first learned the path of heart force would never allow their successors to learn the path of heart force as well. They would only try their best to prevent their successors from coming into contact with the path of heart force because that was a method they used to protect their interests…”
The words on the bamboo scroll only reached this point.
Looking at the paper-like thing, Fang Jinyu quickly sorted out the keywords—After the human race was destroyed, it developed for another 1,729 years. The path of heart force…
Afterward, Fang Jinyu glanced at the birdman in his hand.
“Could it be that the humans in this world were raised in captivity by these birdmen? The purpose of rearing them was to use the humans to develop the path of heart force?”
“However, it seems that the path of heart force developed after the annihilation of the human race for who knows how many times and the reigniting of civilization isn’t enough to satisfy the experts of the birdmen.”
Thinking of this, Fang Jinyu started to find something on the birdman.
However, there was nothing on the birdman’s body. There were only the two items in his hands and the robe on his body.
However, Fang Jinyu didn’t believe it.
Fang Jinyu began to think carefully and then began to circulate the weak heart force in his body.
When Chi Suzi told Fang Jinyu about the path of heart force, she mentioned something called the “heart’s world.” She believed that when one’s heart force reached a certain level, it would create a wondrous world.
It could exist and not exist at the same time. It all depended on one’s heart.
As long as the person who created the “heart’s world” believed that the “heart’s world” existed, the “heart’s world” would exist and could include everything and even plant spirit herbs.
Reality had proven that the theory of the path of heart force that Chi Suzi had come up with after reincarnating was correct.
The birdman indeed had a “heart’s world” that didn’t exist at all!
Fang Jinyu mobilized the wisp of ultimate heart force in his body. Although the wisp of heart force was like a castle in the air, when the wisp of heart force appeared, the “heart’s world” on the birdman’s body automatically disintegrated.
Suddenly, a bunch of things fell out.
Fang Jinyu took a closer look, and then his eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of joy.
Perhaps it was because one had to look up all kinds of information when writing something like a thesis. Therefore, the various books on the birdman could be said to have everything. From the introduction of this world to the description of the experts that had appeared in the history of the birdman’s clan… It could be said to be extremely detailed.
Of course, most of these books were about humans who had been raised in captivity.
After all, the “thesis” that the birdman was writing was about the humans of this world. If he didn’t prepare it well, he wouldn’t be able to write a suitable “thesis.”
The set of books naturally benefited Fang Jinyu.
It was exactly what Fang Jinyu had been searching for, and he obtained it without any effort!
Fang Jinyu was originally troubled by how to understand this world. Now, not only did he understand the world, but he also knew a part of its truth.
Therefore, Fang Jinyu took the lead in reading books about the human race.
There were quite a few of these books, and each of them described in detail the unique conditions that humans had for comprehending the path of heart force. It was especially true of the “sacred knowledge” that humans had created!
It was a kind of theoretical knowledge.
Even though birdmen could learn the “sacred knowledge,” even if they cultivated to the highest level of the path of heart force, they wouldn’t possess the creativity of humans, nor would they have the ability to advance the path of heart force.
It was also the reason the humans of this world were kept in captivity!
After reading the books, Fang Jinyu’s emotions were still relatively calm. However, when he picked up the book that introduced the powerful ancestors of the birdman’s race and flipped through a few pages, Fang Jinyu’s expression began to darken.
Fang Jinyu originally thought that the birdman race was the most powerful alien race in the world!
However, Fang Jinyu didn’t expect that the birdman’s ancestor was a human immortal. It was only because the human immortal had a fortuitous encounter when he was young that he had an extra pair of wings compared to ordinary people.
Since the human immortal had already reached the level of creation, his bloodline clansmen were just like him. They had an extra pair of wings, and they were ugly and didn’t look human.
However, their wings weren’t grown for nothing. They relied on the thickness of the inherited bloodline to each possess a powerful ability.
Therefore, after reaching such a level, the clansmen of the human immortal began to call themselves immortals!
In other words, although the birdmen raised the humans in captivity of this world and treated them as experimental subjects and thought themselves superior, they were also humans!
