A New Era
"This is really bizarre?"
Today's encounter was truly bizarre to him, whether it was Xiahou Dun or Heavenly Star Lord!
There must be something about the other party that he doesn't know.
Back to the mansion!
Qin Yan took out the inheritance jade slip of the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect and carefully read through everything recorded within.
The description of the Immortal Palace is only mentioned briefly.
However, he did find some records in the Tai Xuan History Book, which mentioned two different time periods.
Many powerful figures have perished within the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect!
This led to a sharp decline in the sect's foundation, and they were nearly wiped out by their enemies.
Around 66,000 to nearly 100,000 years ago.
The Tai Xuan Immortal Sect later rose again from its defeat, but a large portion of its records were lost.
Those from 30,000 years ago probably didn't participate; they were likely still in a period of decline at that time.
"It seems that there were powerful figures in the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect who participated in the competition for the Immortal Tokens, but unfortunately most of them perished."
Even a large amount of valuable data was lost.
Qin Yan gently touched his forehead, and suddenly, through Heavenly Star Lord's words, he realized a problem.
The cultivation of immortality has existed for at least tens or hundreds of thousands of years.
However, it seems that no Immortals appeared during such a long period of time.
The only one who managed to enter the Upper Realm did so only through the Immortal-Inviting Token.
This situation is very unreasonable.
The cultivation civilization experienced explosive growth, with countless powerful individuals reaching the Mahayana Stage.
If the world has changed, then there shouldn't be so many Mahayana Stage experts appearing.
Throughout history, after the cultivation civilization reached its peak, the number of Mahayana powerhouses remained at least in the hundreds.
Until the Era of Spiritual Isolation!
The cultivation civilization then completely disappeared.
Through subtle clues, it can be discovered that these Mahayana Stage experts almost have no lifespan limitations.
According to the records of the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect, the longest-lived Mahayana Stage expert lived to be over 500,000 years old!
However, for some unknown reason, he was later surrounded and killed by dozens of top Mahayana Stage experts!
All the fallen Mahayana Stage experts were killed because of others' vendettas.
None of them died of natural causes.
This situation is quite unusual.
These people have already reached the upper limit of the Mahayana Stage, but unfortunately they are unable to advance any further.
It was around 100,000 years ago that the appearance of the Immortal Palace gave them a glimmer of hope.
There's something wrong with this world.
Qin Yan instantly became alert.
If it were a decadent era, it would be impossible for so many powerful cultivators at the Mahayana Stage to emerge.
This is completely inconsistent with the facts.
So these powerful individuals are fine; the only problem is this world.
It's likely that powerful beings from ancient times were already aware of this problem, which is why they constantly sought ways to break through it.
Later, the Immortal Palace appeared!
Its appearance seemed too abrupt, appearing without any warning.
There is too little information.
This prevented him from understanding its true nature!
According to the information provided by Heavenly Star Lord, the Great Li Dynasty is located in the Canggu Realm, specifically on the Cangtu Continent, one of the three major realms!
Great Li only accounts for a very small part of it.
According to the information, ten thousand years ago there was an incredibly vast immortal dynasty here, which ruled over most of the Cangtu Continent.
The Great Yong Immortal Dynasty!
That legendary emperor of the Celestial Dynasty was an unparalleled hero of that era!
However, they encountered the Era of Spiritual Isolation, and the entire powerful immortal dynasty completely collapsed.
Without Spiritual Qi and the methods of cultivators, he simply wouldn't be able to unify such a vast territory.
Left with no other choice, he divided his power among his many sons.
Later, it gradually developed into a series of dynasties.
He learned these things from the records of the last inheritor of the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect.
At the time, I just regarded it as ancient history and didn't pay much attention to it.
In that era, reaching the Mahayana Realm was a truly extraordinary achievement.
Their strength is enough to move mountains and fill seas!
But they still couldn't escape being eliminated by the Era of Spiritual Isolation Extinction!
Turning into dust of history.
These people must have also thought about waiting for another major upheaval in the world through some means.
Of those that survived to this day, only four have actually survived.
Ten thousand years is neither a long nor a short time.
It is enough to change many things; a small change can alter the fate of an ancient powerful being.
November!
Qin Yan completely absorbed the two prefectures of Chu Province, stabilizing the chaotic situation.
In Qingzhou, with the land reform, all the people received land.
And it sparked a nationwide movement to learn martial arts.
Martial Dao began to flourish in Yunqing and Qingyang, and more and more talented children were discovered.
Qin Yan continuously established academies in famous mountains and rivers, and with the revival of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, these places also became excellent places for cultivation.
Secluded Mountain Academy!
"You bunch of lads should cultivate properly. You should know that the cultivation method you are practicing has cost our Marquis countless efforts."
The third edition of the Qi Circulation General Compendium.
The cultivation speed has at least doubled compared to before.
A group of teenagers, ranging from a few years old to their teens, looked at their strict instructors with bitter expressions, as if they had lost all will to live!
In this era, Spiritual Qi is reviving, and there's no need to worry about physical damage from high-intensity training.
Spiritual Qi can quickly restore their bodies and enhance their physique.
The difficulty of Martial Dao arts training is now more than ten times easier than before.
These children in front of me have all developed Qi Sensation and become aware of the blood and Qi within their bodies within half a month.
Qin Yan therefore modified the cultivation method, and the third version of the Qi Circulation General Compendium can now absorb a small amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the Qi-Blood Realm!
This accelerated these children's breakthroughs and gave them great potential for development.
"Listen up, all of you! Cultivate for one hour, and then you'll learn the Six Harmonies Eight Desolations Palm from me!"
This is what Marquis Qin learned from a martial arts manual, which wasn't particularly powerful.
However, Marquis Qin created a peerless martial arts technique, which would be incredibly powerful if it were given to outside sects and forces!
Those can all be considered as the inherited cultivation techniques of a sect!
But you kids can learn for free without paying any price.
You must learn to be grateful.
The instructor clasped his hands in a fist and bowed towards the direction of the Marquis's residence, then said, "This era is a great change that has not been seen in ten thousand years."
Don't be like those sectarian clans and aristocratic families, who are all closed off from the times and unable to keep up with the pace of the times.
Products of the old era will eventually be eliminated by the times.
Learn more, ask more questions, and communicate more.
Summarize the insights of thousands of people and comprehend the essence of the exercise.
Learn, think, create!
The instructor pointed to his head and said, "Only through continuous invention and innovation can we create more powerful techniques and martial arts."
Only then can we surpass everyone else, stand at the pinnacle of the world, and lead the rise of Martial Dao and technological civilization.
The instructors constantly instilled in the trainees the values and concepts appropriate for this era.
More important than teaching them martial arts now is shaping their worldview!
Yun Qiji cultivated with exceptional focus amidst the crowd.
He often exchanges Martial Dao insights with other companions, which has led to a rapid improvement in his strength.
And at the other end of the university!
Most of the children here don't have great talent in martial arts, but they possess extraordinary intelligence!
They embarked on a different path of science.
This is a brand new era, full of possibilities!
