The match continued, but the audience was clearly captivated by the so-called magic.
I thought I came here to watch a fight, but you've turned this into a magic show. Is this even acceptable?
The explanation was delivered so casually, as if the spell was common knowledge. If it weren't for the fact that most of the audience members were completely bewildered, some might have even wondered if they had traveled through time.
" Lin Yinxuan, as a cultivator in the Early Qi Refining, is a strong contender for the championship in this competition. His performance has indeed been very stable, and his current opponent is no match for him."
This explanation was naturally selected from among the first batch of cultivators who had established the Earth Vein, and his understanding of cultivation was clearly quite profound.
"???"
"What? Did I hear that right?"
"What does ' Early Qi Refining' mean? When did this thing come about? I don't know anything about it."
"Holy crap, the world's hidden secrets are being revealed to us! Are they going to drag ordinary people into filling in the gaps?"
The commentator was very serious, but the audience couldn't accept it. After all, one second it was a real, hard-hitting fight between real men, and the next second something like this was fantastical. How could anyone accept that?
"Quickly check the official website of Divine Land, something big has happened!"
While many viewers were still discussing Lin Yinxuan's move to defeat his enemy and the magic he used, some people had already started spamming the comments section.
Upon opening the official website of Divine Land, many Divine Land People discovered that a new file had indeed been added.
Opinions on Comprehensively Promoting Spiritual Practice for All
The document is simple, but the amount of information it conveys is explosive. Just the title alone is already hard to believe: "Cultivation for All"—this phrase usually only appears in novels, and this is the first time I've seen it in reality.
Some quick-witted readers had already skimmed through the document and then released a simplified summary.
"1. The Spiritual Qi in Divine Land has now revived, and everyone can cultivate. 2. The official Divine Land government has established a well-developed management system and relevant laws and regulations for cultivators, and all legal citizens can cultivate according to the law. 3. Those who achieve Greater Completion of Qi Refining can ascend to heaven and descend to the earth, and live for thousands of years. 4. Individuals can obtain relevant cultivation techniques from designated websites by presenting their ID cards."
"Holy crap? Am I still half asleep?"
"Really? Today isn't April Fool's Day."
"No wonder the Eagle Country announced its Longevity Project a while ago, but Divine Land didn't make a move at all. They were waiting for this all along."
Looking at the few unarmored individuals who decisively ended their battles in the main competition, and then at this announcement that was clearly released at the perfect time, everyone understood quite a bit. These individuals were most likely cultivators, and the purpose of this competition was probably just to let everyone witness it.
The era of spiritual practitioners is coming.
After seeing the announcement, many people immediately flocked to the website to receive the cultivation techniques. The sheer number of visitors caused the website to crash. However, many others did not act immediately, as their focus remained on the competition.
The cultivation techniques are right there, and they're not some limited resource; everyone will get them sooner or later. But competitions among cultivators are rare, especially this martial arts tournament, where everyone watching is a witness to history.
The competition continued, and the first round ended quickly, leaving only about half of the players remaining on the field, just over 50.
Although there was commentary and the audience enjoyed the spectacle, the players involved in the competition were clearly not so well-informed. On the field, they were focused on preparing for the match, and at this moment, it was difficult for any news from outside the field to reach them.
The second round of the competition has begun. Although this round is more exciting than the first, the attention it receives has actually decreased after the official announcement from Divine Land.
Everyone is scouring the area and making connections, trying to get a piece of the Eight Trigrams about spiritual practice before anyone else.
Regardless of whether this Eight Trigrams is useful for cultivation, as long as it's information, whether true or false, the more you know, the faster you'll progress compared to others.
"I think the addition of meditation classes to the school curriculum last year, which even replaced English, must be related to spiritual practice."
"That makes sense. I'll go back and ask my son."
"Don't ask. Classes were held, but nine out of ten people just sat there doing their homework, and the tenth one wasn't meditating either; he went to sleep. Don't ask me how I know; I just finished class."
"No way, how can you fall asleep during a main subject? Doesn't the teacher care?"
"What do you care? How can anyone detect whether you're in a meditative state or not? You can just pretend during the exam. We're all so busy with our studies, we don't have time for this kind of class."
"So, can you meditate now? Judging from this announcement, this thing is probably related to cultivation."
"Meditation my ass! Who knows? No wonder the meditation teacher went off to meditate after only a few minutes of class; they were probably already practicing their spiritual disciplines then."
"Hilarious! The door to cultivation is only one step away from you, but you haven't even thought to lift that leg, haha."
Netizens have a strong ability to make connections, and they quickly linked this recent policy with spiritual practice.
While they were speculating, some skilled users with fast internet speeds had already obtained the relevant cultivation guidance documents.
"Wow, you know what? According to the documents on this official website, the first step in cultivation is to be able to meditate, and you have to meditate until you can sense Spiritual Qi."
"Hey you upstairs, the one doing your homework during meditation class, are you thinking of slapping yourself now? Haha."
"What are you laughing at? It's the pot calling the kettle black. At least other people have classes, do you have time to meditate? Don't you have a job?"
"Reality."
Aside from the netizens' jokes, most people have already realized that the first step in this practice is to be able to enter a meditative state, which is obviously not something that can be done in a day or two and cannot be rushed.
Instead of joining in the fun and watching netizens fool around, let's take a look at the strength of these cultivators.
After all, there are actually a few cultivators among the participants in the competition. Instead of searching for information online, it's better to actually see the cultivators' combat abilities.
Although spiritual cultivation is essentially a leap in the level of human life and a journey for humans to pursue longevity, these things are often not directly manifested. Most ordinary people's impression of spiritual cultivation is still limited to superficial techniques such as flying and diving, and ever-changing transformations.
For most viewers, this martial arts tournament is the most direct opportunity to experience the charm of cultivation. So, although all sorts of true and false information spread quickly online, after going around in circles, more people are starting to pay attention to this competition.
