for Advance Chapter
"The world in the past was very exciting, including the legendary immortal way, which all had complete inheritance and sects."
"It's a pity that the emperor of the ages and the overlord drowned all of this. People only thought it was a myth, but it was actually true."
Lin Feng picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then continued: "How could the ancient martial arts dare to be called aristocratic families at that time? It was just a martial art practiced by mortals in the mortal world who wanted to become immortals but failed, so they strengthened their bodies. It can be said that a hundred flowers bloomed, and the various arenas and rankings spontaneously organized by the people were also very exciting."
"The status of the immortal sects at that time was transcendent. They occupied the major mountains and forests with abundant spiritual energy. You couldn't get close to the sect if you were dozens of miles away, otherwise you would be killed on the spot."
"They consider themselves immortals, looking down on the mortal world. They treat even the most recently initiated Qi Refiners or cultivators as worthless. If their disciples come to the mortal realm, the local city lord must lead the army to welcome them. Any neglect will result in a bloodbath."
Ling Yun felt a little uncomfortable hearing this, but he also agreed with the statement.
Those who cultivate into immortals are no longer human, just as fish that have reached land are no longer fish.
"Are the monarchs of those countries also oppressed by them?"
"Naturally, the wars between these countries were all under the control of the sects, and the so-called kings were nothing more than pawns. Once you reach that position, you will understand more and become more desperate. Many kings tried to resist, but the final result was... the destruction of the country."
"Old Lin, was it the same for the King of Qin?"
Mentioning the great emperor of the ages, Lin Feng perked up: "It was like this at first. However, during the Warring States Period, mortals also extracted the essence from ancient martial arts, and under the leadership of several geniuses, they broke through that limit!"
"Use martial arts to enter the Tao!"
"When more and more generals and warriors began to embark on their alternative martial arts, the sects that felt threatened took action."
"The strength that those martial arts masters were proud of could only match up against the cultivators who had just entered the door, and finally fell sadly under the attack of their ever-changing techniques and magic weapons."
"They just sent outer disciples to completely suppress the martial arts that had just begun to show signs of development!"
"However, those cultivators were once subjects of various countries, and they also had families and lineages. Before they truly embarked on the path of immortality, they were not able to completely cut off their emotions, and some of their martial arts still remained."
"When the King of Qin was young, he witnessed these things with his own eyes. By chance, he saved a martial arts master, and this also planted a seed in his heart."
"When he ended his hostage life and returned to Qin, he began to work hard to govern the country, and gradually climbed to the throne step by step. At first, no one looked down on him as a prince, but when he rose to power, it was too late. He did not show his brilliance right away, but secretly trained a large number of death warriors, all of whom practiced martial arts." "
When the King of Qin began to sweep across the world, those sects just took a look, thinking it was just a mortal's play. What's the big deal even if he unified the world?" "
But when the King of Qin led his troops to attack the sects behind the Qin Kingdom, those high-ranking cultivators discovered that the mortal emperor they looked down upon possessed such capabilities!"
"The King of Qin's death squads are numerous and incredibly powerful, and even more remarkable is their fearlessness! When even the most powerful cultivators truly faced death in a duel of equal strength, they were often no match for them and perished one after another."
"Those so-called great powers and veteran immortals have long since vanished. The strongest who remain are merely the former upper-middle class, unable to withstand the barrage of the Divine-Breaking Crossbows."
"The Great Qin gradually encroached upon the resources of the immortal sects, combining the power of the empire to drive those sects into retreat, some even retreating into the mountains and forests, never to return to the world again."
"Later, the King of Qin truly secured his throne, becoming known in history as the Immortal Qin!"
Lin Feng couldn't help but clench his fists. After all, this was an epic poem for mortals, a symbol of their struggle to break free from the fate of class, and ultimately succeed!
But why had such a section of history been so distorted, with even the path to immortality hidden from the public?
"What happened after that?"
"After that?" Lin Feng sighed. "The story was pretty much the same. The King of Qin was afraid that someone like him would emerge among the people and overthrow his rule, so he confiscated all the weapons in the world and made them into twelve golden men. Then, he banned the people from practicing martial arts, confiscated the rare books, stored them in the Afang Palace, burned books and buried scholars..."
"But the world believes in cause and effect, and the law of nature. The King of Qin's luck was limited, and he had already achieved far more than his luck could bear. He also entered the martial arts, but he passed away quietly at the age of fifty. The death of Qin II, the world was in turmoil. The overlord could have seized the Mandate of Heaven, but he burned down the Afang Palace. Since then, a large number of rare books have been lost. His mistakes were even worse than those of the First Emperor."
"In the end, he was also abandoned by destiny, and Emperor Gaozu of Han succeeded to the throne. But he was born in a humble family, and although he fabricated many myths and legends to highlight his strangeness, there were still traces to follow. In addition, even the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, so he was afraid of the existence of people like the Overlord, and further tampered with history, leading to the demise of the immortals and martial arts."
"The ancient martial arts that remain now are nothing more than methods of strengthening the body, which are not up to standard. They even call themselves a
noble family and hide away from the world, which is nothing more than that!" Ling Yun did not feel much when he heard Lin Feng mocking those ancient martial arts families. Instead, he smiled slightly, drank the cold tea, and then poured another cup.
"So, has Elder Lin now reached the Dao through martial arts, or has he glimpsed the secrets
of the Immortal Realm?" "The Overlord and Emperor Gaozu of Han dealt a more severe blow to ancient martial arts than the Emperor of Qin did. Therefore, the path of martial arts is essentially closed, unless a genius emerges to break the mold. I merely stumbled upon the immortal methods by chance, and am nothing more than an ant."
After saying this, he stole a glance at Ling Yun, only to see the young man shake his head nonchalantly.
"Even if that immortal sect were to return, it would still be annihilated by the onslaught of today's high-tech weaponry."
"Indeed," Lin Feng affirmed. After all, since the advent of the atomic bomb, modern technological weapons have become increasingly impressive. They can strike with pinpoint accuracy across thousands of kilometers, flattening cities with a simple flick of the finger. And the legendary destination of the Immortal Realm lacks such exaggerated power.
"Thank you, Elder Lin, for today."
Ling Yun stood up and ejected the bullet from his pistol, causing Lin Feng to breathe a sigh of relief.
Before he left, Ling Yun suddenly turned and glanced at him.
"If one day in the future, the sect reappears, which side will you stand on?"
"I will firmly stand on the side of the country!"
Lin Feng said this with a determined look, almost saluting. Ling Yun also smiled as he descended the mountain.
