Martial Artists were once considered insignificant because there were stronger entities back then, so much so that the term 'Martial Path' hadn't even been coined for what they practiced.
Before the onset of The Last Dharma Decline Era, how could someone still training punches and kicks possibly fight those able to summon heavenly thunder?
Honestly speaking, the Martial Path from that era and the current Martial Path are several versions apart.
The current Martial Path evolved over hundreds of years within The Last Dharma Decline Era, forged by generations relentlessly pursuing the ultimate.
In terms of pure cultivation realms, the levels achieved several decades ago, before the Spiritual Qi Resurgence, were actually higher.
Now, thanks to the Spiritual Qi Resurgence, the cultivation levels accumulated over hundreds of years are rapidly transforming into combat strength.
