Chapter 9: An Agreement to Visit Earth for Fun

"Sigh! When will the Huaxia of Earth be as mighty as the Huaxia Clan of the Otherworld..."

Cang Luo, filled with emotion, asked curiously, "Other Clans? What are Other Clans?"

Xuan Qingqing said casually, "Other Clans are those with stinky bodies and dark skin; they can only survive on the edges of the continent and on islands. Whenever they see us of the Huaxia Clan, they must respectfully address us as my lord."

"Aren't we of the Huaxia Clan amazing? Do you have Other Clans on Earth too?"

Speaking of these Other Clans, Xuan Qingqing wore a proud expression, and a sense of superiority naturally arose within her.

Because in the Yuanwu Continent, the Huaxia Clan is an invincible existence, while the Other Clans are lower-class people!

Cang Luo understood; he knew what the Other Clans in Xuan Qingqing's words referred to—they were people of different skin colors.

Cang Luo nodded and said, "We have Other Clans on Earth too, but unlike the Yuanwu Continent, the status of the Other Clans on Earth is very high, even higher than that of our Huaxia Clan..."

Listening to Cang Luo's account, Xuan Qingqing frowned tightly; she was very dissatisfied with the current state of the Huaxia Clan on Earth as described by Cang Luo.

Since when does the Huaxia Clan need to watch the Other Clans' expressions?

It is simply outrageous!

Xuan Qingqing, feeling indignant, suddenly said resentfully, "Junior Brother Cang, rest assured. One day, the Other Clans on Earth will know the might of our Huaxia Clan."

Saying this, she added, "By the way, I heard Father say that the Huaxia Clan on your Earth is very likely of the same root and origin as our Huaxia Clan."

"Mm."

Cang Luo held the same belief; even if they were not of the same root and origin, Earth and the Yuanwu Continent must surely have some important connection.

Otherwise, how could one explain the existence of the Seven Huaxia Kingdoms?

And the reason why the continental plates of the Yuanwu Continent are so similar to Earth's?

Right, according to her account, the Yuanwu Continent underwent a massive transformation after the appearance of the Nine Foreign Stars. What about before the Nine Foreign Stars appeared?

Is it possible that the Yuanwu Continent actually shared the same history as Earth 2491 years ago?

Was it suddenly transformed by the Nine Foreign Stars? Did they add a substance called 'Yuan Power' and stitch the continental plates together?

No, it wasn't Earth that was transformed.

Because Earth still exists; it should be that a parallel world was separated out by the Nine Foreign Stars?

Or even a parallel universe?

Cang Luo pondered; if he wanted to verify his speculation, he only needed to investigate whether the history of the Yuanwu Continent before 2491 years ago was the same as Earth's, which could be done by checking the books here.

But even if the histories of the two worlds were the same before 2491 years ago, what would that change?

What could it alter?

Cang Luo sighed, and then thought again of the layer of white mist on the surface of the Nine Foreign Stars.

Perhaps the truth is hidden on the Nine Foreign Stars, but until the satellites gain the ability to fly, it cannot be known for now.

Thinking of this, Cang Luo gave up the intention to delve deeper into this issue and turned his attention to another equally important matter.

Cang Luo asked, "Senior Sister Qingqing, may I ask how martial artists cultivate? What are the specific cultivation ranks?"

"By the way, what is my current cultivation rank?"

Facing Cang Luo's barrage of questions, Xuan Qingqing puffed out her cheeks, deliberately putting on an unhappy expression and huffing, "Why is it always you asking me? Now it's my turn to ask you."

Cang Luo was melted by Xuan Qingqing's appearance and quickly said, "Uh... it's my fault. Senior Sister Qingqing, you ask, you ask."

"Good. I ask you: what fun things are there on Earth?"

Xuan Qingqing knew that cultivation was impossible on Earth, so she did not ask nor wish to ask about matters related to that.

She felt her current life was a bit dull; apart from cultivation, there was only cultivation, yet not cultivating was not an option.

Her question was within Cang Luo's expectations; yesterday, while scanning the Yuanwu Continent with satellites, he discovered that the technological development of this world was quite backward, essentially equivalent to ancient Huaxia a thousand years ago.

Cang Luo speculated this was due to the emergence of a cultivation civilization.

For instance, if I can already fly, why bother inventing airplanes and cars?

If I can casually fling a sword qi, why bother inventing firearms and ammunition?

Therefore, the entertainment options in this world should be quite backward; Cang Luo estimated that apart from cultivation and martial arts competitions, it would just be reciting poetry and composing couplets.

Uh... and entertainment options exclusive to men.

Cang Luo immediately said, "You've asked the right question. There are countless fun things on Earth."

"Amusement parks, skiing, surfing, bumper cars, movies, game consoles, online games..."

"And many delicious foods: cakes, salads, coffee, chocolate, ice cream, hamburgers..."

Every time Cang Luo mentioned a term from Earth, Xuan Qingqing, with a look of curiosity and confusion, would chase after asking what this was, what that was, what their functions were, and how to play them.

Seeing Xuan Qingqing's curious-baby-like appearance, Cang Luo finally felt a sense of superiority.

Earth isn't without merits either; putting aside nuclear weapons for now, just these entertainment options alone could crush the Yuanwu Continent...

Amidst his joy, Cang Luo explained each term to her one by one, along with how to play them, speaking for a full two hours until she was filled with longing.

As they chatted, the two grew closer.

Xuan Qingqing said excitedly, "Once my grandfather finishes researching the teleportation array, I must go to Earth immediately. You are responsible for taking me to play all over Earth."

Teleportation array?

Cang Luo muttered inwardly, judging that the teleportation array mentioned by Xuan Qingqing was a different method from the one that caused him to travel through.

The teleportation array should be active and controllable.

Whereas the white light sphere that caused him to travel was passive and summoned at random.

Cang Luo readily agreed, smiling, "No problem. When the time comes, I'll take Senior Sister Qingqing on an airplane to tour the entire Earth."

Xuan Qingqing looked curious: "Flying chicken? Do you have demon beasts on Earth too?"

"What are demon beasts?" Cang Luo asked instead of answering.

Xuan Qingqing said anxiously, "Wait, let me summon one for you to see. First, tell me what a flying chicken is."

"Alright, alright, alright! Let me think about how to say it simply." Cang Luo nodded quickly, though inwardly he was thinking about demon beasts.

Need to summon? So it's a summoned beast then, can I summon one?

After thinking for a moment, Cang Luo organized his words and explained: "This 'airplane' is not that 'flying chicken'—it's not a demon beast, but a dead object.

An airplane does have wings, but the wings don't move—it's just something that can fly in the sky."

After hearing Cang Luo's description, Seeing Xuan Qingqing was instantly dumbfounded. She asked curiously: "A dead object? Wings that don't move? Could it be a flying treasure?"

A treasure?

Another specialized term. Cang Luo couldn't be bothered to ask this time—he'd learn about it slowly when he got the chance.

Cang Luo continued: "It's not a treasure. Our Earth doesn't have such things.

An airplane is an enclosed giant vessel made entirely of metal and other materials. Small ones are a few zhang long and can carry one to ten people; large ones are several dozen zhang long and can carry several hundred people."

The moment Cang Luo finished speaking, Xuan Qingqing exclaimed: "How is that possible? How could such a huge vessel fly?!

And carry several hundred people while flying? You're not fooling me, are you?"

No matter how hard she tried, Xuan Qingqing could never imagine that the Earth, where cultivation was impossible, actually possessed such heaven-defying things.

If this isn't a treasure, then what counts as a treasure?

Cang Luo said seriously: "Do I have any reason to fool Senior Sister Qingqing? If it's true or not, just go to Earth next year and see for yourself, won't that settle it?

Not only that, an airplane can fly in the sky for days and nights on end—you can sleep, eat, play games, even take a bath on it..."

"Really?" Xuan Qingqing looked at Cang Luo with an eager face, wishing she could go to Earth right now.

"Of course it's true! By the way, Senior Sister Qingqing, an airplane on Earth can let any person fly into the sky.

Then what cultivation level must a martial artist on the Yuanwu Continent reach before they can fly? How long must they cultivate?"

Cang Luo seized the chance to ask the question that had been weighing on his heart. Xuan Qingqing said casually: "Wu Wang cultivation level is enough. As for how long..."

She paused briefly before continuing: "An ordinary martial artist—if they successfully condense a Yuan Wheel at fourteen and become a martial artist, with sufficient resources and no accidents—would need to cultivate until they're seventy or eighty years old.

Geniuses are another story. From what I know, some heaven's proud sons reached Wu Wang cultivation before they were thirty."

After hearing this, Cang Luo screamed "Holy shit" in his heart.

It actually takes seventy or eighty years to fly... but I only have one year!

Even if I could reach Wu Wang at thirty, that would still be eight years—and I don't even know if I'll live that long.

Thinking of this, Cang Luo asked tensely: "What is my current cultivation level? How is my aptitude?"
