Chapter 698 - 672: Critical Intelligence (Part 2)
Xu Yi bought all sorts of things.
Books are also an important way to understand the Jialan Civilization.
Xu Yi had previously purchased quite a few, and he would take a look at them when he had free time in the battle zone.
A few days later, Jialan Xuefei came looking for Xu Yi with Luojia Nana.
So, they entered the battle zone.
After entering the battle zone, they started hunting the Demon Race like crazy.
Obviously, Jialan Xuefei was very angry, and those Demons died very miserably.
It’s not that Xu Yi sympathized with the Demon Race. The Demon Race, although civilized and possessing their own empire, are inherently brutal, enjoying torturing their prey.
They relish the process of torture and killing.
If humans encounter the Demon Race, it would surely be tragic.
Therefore, Xu Yi had no goodwill towards the Demon Race.
"Xuefei, what’s wrong with you? You seem very angry?" Luojia Nana asked, because the Jialan Xuefei she knew was not like this.
Moreover, she had said before that emotions should not be brought into battle.
Emotions can affect your judgment and combat effectiveness. Jialan Xuefei has always acted that way.
But today, she was extremely angry.
"My father hopes I can reproduce with those delicate Spirit Race members. Do you think the royal family is crazy, sending their daughters to the Spirit Race?" With that, Jialan Xuefei heavily slapped a stone in the distance, smashing it.
"Insane, really insane. Those Spirit Race people look like women, not at all majestic. Moreover, they’re from a different race. How can we rise relying on them? Doesn’t that imply our Jialan Civilization is inferior to the delicate Spirit Race?" Luojia also became angry because she heard many people were applying to reproduce with the Spirit Race.
Xu Yi was glanced at by the two women, then he said, "Do you think this is the will of the Divine Ancestor?"
"Impossible. If the Divine Ancestor had spoken, it wouldn’t be this atmosphere and situation now. If the Divine Ancestor had spoken, I would agree. This is just the royal family’s suggestion. Moreover, my father said the Divine Ancestor injured his spiritual sea to tear open an array and needs a year of secluded cultivation to recover." Jialan Xuefei felt it wasn’t the Divine Ancestor’s decision, so she resisted it.
In the Jialan Civilization, the words of the Divine Ancestor are like an imperial edict; no one would think of resisting. Executing the Divine Ancestor’s orders is the instinct of the Jialan Civilization.
It’s safe to say the Jialan Civilization has been brainwashed over generations.
Furthermore, divine decrees from the Divine Ancestor are very rare.
It’s also because they’re so rare that they hold great authority and no one questions them.
"The royal family indeed went crazy. The Spirit Race isn’t strong at all." Luojia Nana spoke about the Divine Race as if she had personally defeated the Spirit Race.
"Indeed, they’re crazy. Because I refused, my father expelled me from the family. So from now on, call me Yunqi Xuefei. My mother is from the Yunqi Race," said Yunqi Xuefei, having given herself a new name.
"No way, they actually expelled you from the family? In your family, there aren’t many with better talent than you!" Luojia Nana was shocked, feeling the royal family had gone mad.
Just because Yunqi Xuefei refused to have children with the Spirit Race, she was expelled from the family?
If that’s not madness, then what is?
After being expelled from the family, Yunqi Xuefei lost her royal status, and all royal benefits were no longer related to her.
If it’s not madness, why would they do such a thing?
"Being expelled is fine. The current royal family has some problems. For situations like mine, there are quite a few. The Spirit Race’s technology is indeed very advanced, able to develop such warships and enabling us to survive in outer space. But their Spiritual Power is very weak, at a peak of level 11." Yunqi Xuefei said angrily.
"They can’t even defeat me with Spiritual Power, yet they want to sleep with me, no way." With that, Yunqi Xuefei rushed out.
Another Demon Race member appeared.
"What, you like Xuefei now?" Luojia Nana noticed Xu Yi looking at Yunqi Xuefei with a different expression, and a bit of jealousy inquired. During this time, Xu Yi had changed from the Yunqi Luotian she knew, no longer orbiting around her.
In other words, Xu Yi wasn’t fawning over her anymore.
So, Luojia Nana found it odd.
Although she didn’t think much of Yunqi Luotian before, she found him appealing now!
Deliberately, she felt Xu Yi must be doing it on purpose!
Just to annoy her a bit, to let her taste the feeling he had when he liked her but was not accepted.
As for liking Yunqi Xuefei, she found it unlikely.
He hadn’t even fully seen Yunqi Xuefei’s appearance!
Despite Luojia Nana’s overconfidence, her judgment was quite accurate.
How could Xu Yi possibly fall for the archenemy of mankind?
Such melodramatic issues couldn’t happen to Xu Yi.
Because Yunqi Xuefei was extremely angry, Xu Yi managed to extract quite a bit of information.
The Jialan Civilization was indeed continuously learning the Spirit Race’s technology and constructing those Spirit Race warships. However, a warship involves too much technology; achieving mastery and production within ten years would already be impressive.
As for warships, there wasn’t significant progress, but the Spirit Race’s Energy Armor was something the Jialan Civilization was about to master.
Actually, what the Jialan Civilization really needed was just the Life Support System of the Spirit Race’s Energy Armor. Flight, intelligent evasion, weaponry systems, energy defense—Jialan Civilization wasn’t very concerned about those.
For the Jialan Civilization, resolving the life support aspect is seen as a success.
Currently, the Jialan Civilization has produced Energy Armor capable of surviving in outer space for two hours.
Two hours is too short; it can’t reach the Spiritual Star.
To engage in war with the Spirit Race, they must reach the Spiritual Star.
Otherwise, in space, the Jialan Civilization cannot defeat the Spirit Race; they will be massacred unilaterally by the Spirit Race.
"Then we should join the Expeditionary Army. The Expeditionary Army can leave this cage and see other planets. The Spirit Race says their Spiritual Star has denser Spiritual Power, which must be more suitable for cultivation than here." Luojia Nana was eager to leave this planet because, in their perspective, Jialan Star is a prison, a vast prison.
Entering outer space and traveling freely, that would be true freedom.
"We’ll definitely join the Expeditionary Army, but it’s pointless to join now. The Expeditionary Army has no movements, and when it does, it won’t be too late to join. Moreover, joining the Expeditionary Army requires lots of resources, which we have to obtain by hunting the Demon Race." Yunqi Xuefei didn’t think joining the Expeditionary Army at this time was a good idea.
"Yeah, we’re still poor and need to earn more." Xu Yi agreed with a smile, finding Yunqi Xuefei an excellent source of information.
Through her, Xu Yi had already gathered some important intelligence.
Unfortunately, it’s not the right time for him to send messages outside.
If not, he would have wanted to send the news out, alerting the Spirit Race, and prepping his own Yi Sect.
Xu Yi plans to break through to level 19 here.
Because now, even a level 19 Divine Master can leave Jialan Star and go to outer space.
For humans and the Spirit Race to achieve a breakthrough to level 19 in such a short time isn’t easy; it’s probably impossible.
Xu Yi believes that once he reaches level 19, he would have extracted all the information from Yunqi Xuefei.
Throughout this period, Xu Yi has developed an understanding of Yunqi Xuefei’s character; prying open her mouth shouldn’t be too challenging.
