Gongsun Rou couldn't understand, and Xu Mo couldn't figure it out either.
Why would a miraculous item, almost a sacred artifact, appear on Earth, a planet without any extraordinary power? It was too bizarre.
Could it be that Earth wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface?
Xu Mo was deeply shaken. He thought of his own transmigration and the sudden appearance of the Great Wilderness on Earth. These were all mysteries he couldn't fathom.
At least, his current strength was insufficient to investigate them.
Looking at the strange drifting bottle in his hand, Xu Mo could only temporarily store it within his body and suppress it with the Chaos Furnace.
The Chaos Furnace was incredibly powerful, more than enough to suppress a drifting bottle.
After instructing Gongsun Rou on a few matters, Xu Mo directly flew away from the prisoner-of-war camp and returned to the imperial palace.
He needed to make preparations to undergo tribulation and become a saint!
The situation was becoming increasingly complex. Even Earth, which seemed ordinary, had turned extraordinary.
The miraculous drifting bottle had startled him. He had lived a comfortable life for too long, making him forget the sense of crisis and constant worry for his life that he had felt when he first transmigrated to the Great Wilderness.
He had to become a saint quickly to deal with all the upcoming changes!
In the prisoner-of-war camp.
The people from Earth watched the Emperor of Da Qian and the incredibly beautiful female official depart, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, relaxing.
They couldn't help it; the Emperor of Da Qian had brought them immense pressure. Facing him, they didn't even dare to look up, trembling with fear.
But fortunately, they were safe. These cultivators had no intention of harming them.
"We're safe, no more worries. Thank God for His blessings!"
A Black man, tears streaming down his face, trembled with excitement.
"You should thank the benevolence of the Emperor of Da Qian, not some imaginary God!"
A Chinese man scoffed, showing disdain for the Black man's habit of thanking God for everything.
It was like on Earth, where charitable organizations bought food and resources to aid impoverished residents of the African continent.
Yet, these Black people didn't express gratitude to these organizations but only thanked God for His gifts.
"Indeed, we must thank the benevolence of the Emperor of Da Qian, otherwise we would all have perished here."
"Heh, if he were truly benevolent, why wouldn't he just let us go?"
"Shh! Are you trying to die? This is a cultivation dynasty, filled with cultivators. If you're overheard, you're finished!"
"I... I just blurted it out, it wouldn't be that serious, would it?"
The speaker's body instantly trembled, his voice quivering with extreme fear.
Several people beside him immediately distanced themselves, afraid of being implicated.
Fortunately, no soldier-cultivators appeared, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
If they had just escaped danger, only to fall into it again because of this fool's words, they would have been incredibly wronged!
"Get lost! If you dare to speak nonsense again, I'll beat you to death first!" someone cursed fiercely.
At this moment, soldiers arrived to escort them to their assigned residences.
The accommodations Lin Ru had arranged for these Earth prisoners were not particularly good by Da Qian's standards; they were merely average.
However, in the eyes of the people from Earth, these were more luxurious than five-star hotels!
Gilded, gleaming wooden houses, adorned with various exotic treasures and decorations inside, and fragrant green plants and flowers. Such accommodations exceeded everyone's expectations!
"Hiss... Is this how cultivators live? It's too extravagant!"
"All these are exotic treasures I've never seen before. If I took just one back to Earth, it would surely sell for tens of millions, even over a hundred million!"
"Didn't you notice that everyone felt more energetic after entering here? And the air is incredibly fresh and comfortable!"
"I felt it too. Is there a formation here that gathers spiritual energy, just like in Chinese novels?"
Everyone was stunned, looking at everything before them in disbelief.
At first, they thought the accommodations prepared by the Da Qian dynasty would be ordinary, but they never expected them to be so luxurious, far surpassing villas and manors on Earth!
Lin Wencheng breathed in the spirit-infused air, feeling much more refreshed.
"Living here for a year might add ten years to a mortal's lifespan!" he exclaimed involuntarily.
Professor Sam nodded in strong agreement, his eyes shining as he looked at the residence.
He could feel every breath he took, drawing in the air and entering his body. The spiritual energy in the air was nourishing his flesh and restoring his vitality.
This miraculous scene greatly shocked him, this old scholar: "It's too incredible. Everything in this Great Wilderness is so unfathomable. I thought I didn't have many years left, but now it seems that if I live here for a while, living another twenty years is not impossible!"
Initially, being confined to the capital of Da Qian, everyone felt resentful and desperate.
But now, they didn't feel that way anymore. They only felt that staying here was truly wonderful. Such an opportunity was probably something they would never encounter in a lifetime.
The spiritual energy here was extremely dense, gathered by formations. People with illnesses could feel the spiritual energy entering their bodies and 'healing' them.
Everyone benefited, the greatest benefit being an extended lifespan!
At this point, even if they were allowed to return home, they wouldn't. Why go home when they had such a good place to stay?
"There's spiritual energy here, does that mean we can also cultivate!" someone suddenly asked with excitement.
Hearing this, everyone's hearts also became excited. Cultivators could fly, their lifespans extended by hundreds or thousands of years. Who wouldn't yearn for that?
"Don't even think about it. Cultivation requires talent, and besides, we're prisoners. Why would they teach us?"
Someone poured cold water on their hopes, shattering their illusions.
However, one person's fantasy was not extinguished. Lin Zihao's eyes burned with desire, and his longing for cultivation grew even more fervent.

Earth, Pacific Ocean.
After several days of preparation and travel, the Earth coalition, led by the United States, China, and Russia, had assembled in the Pacific.
This coalition was grand, with three aircraft carrier groups and dozens of other warships. The scale was immense, demonstrating how much importance all countries placed on the new continent that had appeared in the Pacific.
Netizens from all over the world were also paying attention to the developments in the Pacific.
Everyone was unable to ignore the significant event of the new continent's appearance.
The Earth Times, the world's largest official media outlet, issued a statement announcing that it would send war correspondents to the Pacific for live broadcasts.
They guaranteed that the situation on the new continent would be broadcast live as soon as possible, allowing netizens worldwide to know immediately.
In response, netizens globally cheered, appreciating the Earth Times' actions.
