Chapter 72: Investigation
"How can there be beast tribe members here?"
"I don’t know."
"Captain, what should we do now?"
"Captain, what cultivation level are these beast tribe members? Should we capture them to ask about the situation?"
"Since these monsters can explore in the starry sky, their cultivation level shouldn’t be low."
"Let’s report the situation to the Alliance, and then I’ll probe their intentions!"
Soon, a message was sent toward the Cultivation Alliance.
Just as the group of Human Race explorers discovered the beast tribe members, the beast tribe members stationed on their spaceship also scanned the Human Race spaceship.
Quickly, the beast tribe spaceship sent a message to their companions on the planet.
Thus, both sides soon became aware of each other’s presence.
Initially, the Human Race had planned to launch a surprise attack, but they were unexpectedly discovered so quickly!
Since both sides realized each other’s existence, neither continued to hide.
From the Human Race, an Integration stage cultivator, accompanied by several Transformation stage cultivators, flew toward the beast tribe.
On the beast tribe’s side, a group of monsters also approached the Human Race.
"Human Race captives, how did you escape here?" The beast tribe members scolded upon seeing the Humans!
All the monsters looked at the Humans as if they were a group of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
In the Cultivation Alliance exploration team, the group felt the deep malice in the beast tribe’s attitude, even though they couldn’t understand their words.
"Damn it, looking for trouble!"
The next moment, the powerful pressure from the Integration stage cultivator surged toward the group of monsters.
Feeling the pressure, the beast tribe members were instantly taken aback.
In the next moment, they chattered nervously and then turned to flee.
"Damn it, trying to run? Leave some behind!"
Seeing the beast tribe members attempting to escape, the Integration stage cultivator laughed.
At first, he had been worried about encountering formidable beasts, but now he felt at ease.
Half an hour later, all the beast tribe members were captured by the Human Race exploration team.
Then, the Humans began to communicate with the beast tribe members using divine sense to gather intelligence.
For example, they wanted to know where these beasts had come from and if they were remnants of the monsters that had escaped from Taihuang Star, among other things.
If the beasts were weak, the Integration stage cultivator would directly use Soul Searching.
…
Not long after, the Human Race exploration team discovered the beast tribe members.
A message quickly spread through the upper ranks of the Cultivation Alliance.
"Sister, this is the news from Lin Ran. Please take a look."
That day, Li Ziyao found her sister, Li Ziwei, who was immersed in her training.
Li Ziwei now spent ten hours a day training to replenish her own energy.
"What is it?" Li Ziwei asked, surprised.
"Look at this." Li Ziyao handed a jade slip containing recorded information to Li Ziwei.
As Li Ziwei took the jade slip and began to read, astonishment appeared on her face.
The message revealed that a group of Human Race explorers had discovered the beast tribe, and through Soul Searching, it was learned that these beasts were also an exploration team—only they were from the beast tribe.
From the memories of this beast tribe exploration team, it was discovered that on the side of the star field where the Human Race resided, there existed a civilization dominated by beasts.
Moreover, this civilization had developed over several million years and had a population of trillions of beasts.
Additionally, this beast tribe civilization controlled dozens of life planets, its territory far exceeding that of the Human Race.
Considering this, one could imagine just how powerful this beast tribe civilization must be.
Fortunately, this beast tribe civilization had not yet discovered the Human Race civilization.
However, as time passed, contact between the two civilizations was nearly inevitable.
Seeing such news, Li Ziwei was understandably shocked.
"Sister, everyone wants you to go to the beast tribe star domain to investigate, especially since your cultivation level is the highest," Li Ziyao said to Li Ziwei.
Among all of Li Xiaojun’s daughters, except for the one who had ascended to the Immortal Realm, Li Ziwei currently had the highest cultivation level and had reached the early stage of human immortal.
The human immortal realm was a dominant presence in the cultivation world.
Thus, they all unanimously decided that Li Ziwei should make the trip to explore the beast tribe territory and assess the reality of the beast tribe civilization.
"Alright, then I’ll go," Li Ziwei nodded after contemplating her options.
As the highest cultivator among them and the first Empress of the Human Race, she naturally felt responsible for investigating the beast tribe civilization.
Six months later, Li Ziwei arrived at the star system where the Human Race exploration team had discovered the beast tribe.
"Junior Gongsun Sheng pays respects to Senior Ziwei Great Emperor."
An Integration stage cultivator respectfully greeted Li Ziwei upon seeing her.
"No need for formalities. Please take me to meet the captured beast tribe members," Li Ziwei waved her hand, instructing the Integration stage cultivator.
"Ziwei Great Emperor, please follow me."
Soon, Li Ziwei met the controlled and imprisoned beast tribe members.
Upon seeing the beasts, she didn’t engage in any interrogation but directly performed Soul Searching on a Transformation stage beast.
Though a Transformation stage beast was typically beyond the reach of even a Tribulation stage great emperor, Li Ziwei was an Immortal, making it quite simple for her to Soul Search a Transformation stage beast.
After completing the Soul Searching, she gained a more detailed understanding of the civilization established by the beast tribe.
This beast tribe civilization was formed by a total of twenty-four major beast tribes, including the Bull Tribe, Tiger Tribe, Fox Tribe, Wolf Tribe, Giant Elephant Tribe, Mouse Tribe, Insect Tribe, Flood Dragon Tribe, Kun Tribe, Sea Shark Tribe, Green Peng Tribe, and many others.
These twenty-four major beast tribes collectively occupied sixteen life planets.
Using these sixteen life planets as a foundation, they controlled resources from millions of star systems.
Li Ziwei was taken aback to learn that nearly every beast tribe had multiple Tribulation stage beast emperors.
In addition, there were countless Great Ascension stage beast saints and Integration stage Beast Kings.
If the Human Race faced off against the beast tribe, there would be no chance of victory for the Humans.
Before she even ventured to investigate the beast tribe, Li Ziwei received such alarming news, leaving her in deep thought.
Six months later, Li Ziwei disguised herself as a beast and infiltrated a life planet controlled by the Wolf Tribe, Fox Tribe, and Tiger Tribe.
On this planet, Li Ziwei used her primordial spirit to scan and discovered no fewer than ten Tribulation stage beast emperors.
Next, Li Ziwei spent several years investigating over a dozen other life planets of the beast tribe.
She found that the total number of Tribulation stage beast emperors among all the beast tribe members exceeded one hundred and sixty, vastly outnumbering the Human Race’s Tribulation stage great emperors.
Li Ziwei kept a low profile in the beast tribe star domain.
Initially, she thought to test her strength, believing that with her early stage human immortal power, killing a Tribulation stage beast emperor would be easy.
However, as an Immortal, her energy consumption was substantial.
While she could kill some Tribulation stage beast emperors, doing so would speed up her energy depletion and draw more attention from the beasts.
If the beast tribe launched a sea of people strategy against her, even as a human immortal, her immortal essence could eventually run dry.
Moreover, using superior grade spirit stones to replenish her immortal essence could not keep up with the rate of her energy consumption.
Thus, if she were surrounded by the beasts, she could very well be beaten to death.
Li Ziwei speculated that if she reached the Immortal Realm, there would be spirit stones that could directly replenish her immortal essence, allowing the energy absorbed to be quickly refined into immortal essence, enabling an Immortal to act without restraint.
