Feng Jun's argument was something the old marshal had heard about to some extent—humanoid civilizations placed greater emphasis on the combat power of the physical body. It was not that they lacked technological means, but in their view, technology was merely an aid.
This argument was something Feng Jun had deliberately or inadvertently spread during his dealings with the Human Federation—other Heavenly Zither Cultivators truly were not bored enough to chat with Federation people.
But without question, all Heavenly Zither Cultivators would agree with Feng Jun's view. That was simply how they saw things.
The old marshal had studied this claim and, through various logical deductions, concluded that the other side truly thought this way. However, he could not fully agree.
Every civilization had its own pride, so he said, "Technological progress follows a strict logic. In the past, the Human Race's lifespan limit was around a hundred years. Now, people can live beyond one hundred and fifty..."
Feng Jun raised a hand and pointed at Yi Jue. "She's five hundred years old."
"I know you live long lives, but technological advancement will achieve that sooner or later," the old marshal declared confidently. "Besides, ordinary people only need brief training to operate all kinds of weapons and unleash tremendous power. Can you do that so easily?"
It had to be said that this question struck right at the heart. Cultivators' greatest drawback was that they could not be trained quickly, and their elimination rate was extremely high.
However, Feng Jun said, "We can easily live to be five hundred."
That was not an exaggeration. As long as one reached the Emergence from Dust Stage, living five hundred years was entirely possible.
"You've already emphasized your advantage in lifespan," the old marshal said without getting angry, continuing to reason with him.
