Chapter XVIII: A History

"The history of the world, which is not known to most people, goes back thousands of years. Countless ancestors have created a systematic cultivation model, taking the pursuit and exploration of the limits of the human body to the extreme, and giving it a more profound and lofty realm, and endowed it with an identity and status that immortal cultivators from ancient times to the present can be proud of.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and it was only a few decades ago that the theories of cultivation that are now accepted by most practitioners came to fruition.

Decades can only be called a drop in the ocean for the history of the cultivation world that has a deep origin in the long stream of the wilderness, but it is the gap that countless immortal cultivators have ignored that has completely changed everyone's view of the world.

In the past thousand years, for the immortal cultivation world, the group of "soulless", although similar in appearance to cultivators, is still just like wild birds and beasts, ancient trees and withered grass, and is an inconspicuous one among thousands of living beings, until-

Forty years ago.

The beginning of the protracted war began on a peaceful and slightly precipitous spring.

No one noticed the change in the "soulless".

For our predecessors, life is too long, and time is too fast, there are too many fleeting lives in unnoticed corners of change and fall, and practitioners have their own countless busyness, picking spring flowers, collecting autumn leaves, beyond the Three Realms, and containing the balance of the five elements.

Without warning, the "soulless" sounded the horn of war so suddenly.

Later generations called this war the "Spring War" in the history of the Great Dao.

No one remembers how these "spiritless" grew up. The ordinary human beings who used to be in the thatched huts and wells, the human beings in the Qianmo villages, the ordinary human beings who were once immersed in the joys, sorrows, and sorrows, seemed to suddenly build high-rise buildings overnight, and the flat ground sounded with thunder, and countless steel giants passing through the air destroyed the immortal mountain of the unknown few caves, and those thin and weak flesh mortals suddenly became fully armed, and took the initiative to start a war that lasted for several years.

It was a war of gunpowder, a war that had never been seen before, but it was also a war of silence: because it was not recorded in any of the books of the "spiritless", but it completely rewrote the history of the practitioners.

The ancestors suddenly realized that it was not only a long life that could bring absolute power, but also a short life that could be passed down from generation to generation to acquire magical abilities that could rival those of the "spirit".

In the end, the "spiritless beings", who were overwhelming in number, actually almost exhausted the cultivators in the theater of history.

The noble ancestors of the immortal cultivation world, led by Bai Puzi, signed the famous "Hundred Years Daofan Peace Agreement" with the wise leaders of the "Spiritless One".

According to the content of the agreement, from this moment on, the practitioner and the "spiritless" will be equal. Practitioners, on the other hand, are not allowed to use "spirits" to influence or interfere with the operation and development of the world of the "spiritless".

This is unimaginable, and the entire immortal cultivation world is in an uproar.

What they don't know is that in that year, the "soulless" got their first computer, held the World Cup in a country called Brazil, countless people around the world wore bell bottoms, three Americans crossed the Atlantic in a hot air balloon, and the place known as the country of Kyushu was officially restored to countless higher education facilities.

Not only that, but in the next thirty years, the development of the "soulless" made all practitioners even more jaw-dropping.

Since then, the immortal cultivators have taken history as a mirror, reflected on the technological power that they had once overlooked, and began to hide their identities, trying to integrate into the "soulless", and find the secret of mortals gaining such great power.

Forty years later, the first group of practitioners sent to the world finally fully adapted to the life of the "spiritless". Not only that, but some practitioners have even come up with the "theory of the rule of the spiritless", believing that sooner or later, one day, in this world, the cultivator will become extinct, and the universe will be completely taken over by the "spiritless".

This kind of crisis made the cultivators try to join the competition of the "spiritless", so far, the new generation of cultivators have listed scientific theories as a necessary stage of cultivation, which is also the reason why Boyang Academy officially began to open to the "spiritless" all over the country.

It can be said that the future of the immortal cultivation world depends on all the young students here, and I hope that all students will not ignore the lessons of history, balance science and cultivation courses, and become comprehensive talents. ”

......

The teacher on the stage was talking about the historical events in the world of cultivating immortals in recent years, and when he talked about this well-known "Spring War", there were already many students in the audience lying on their desks with heavy heads.

Among them was Sun Gan's fat man, who sat straight, tilted his head, and leaned towards Jiang Chen's shoulder little by little, and actually snored faintly, Jiang Chen pushed him to the other side with great disgust.

Even Xia Mai secretly looked at his mobile phone under the table, leaving Jingyu still looking at the teacher on the stage with a serious face.

Jiang Chen, who was originally exhausted from the charm class, was just the opposite of the reaction of most of his classmates, becoming more and more energetic and more engrossed.

This is a course of "Records of the History of the Immortal Dao", the textbook alone is thick enough to shoot the dead, and the content of the class is also plain and boring.

The classroom teacher is also a middle-aged female teacher with plate glasses, a thin voice, and a thin body, her name is Li Li, and her tone is just like her name, without ups and downs, without any characteristics.

Listening to this history that was familiar to the cultivation world, Jiang Chen's heart was turbulent. Originally, when I was in junior high school, my best course was literature and history, and one of the courses I was very interested in was history. However, whether it was the official history he had studied in class or the wild history he had learned in extracurricular reading, none of them had mentioned or even hinted at similar historical facts.

In his opinion, this was completely unreasonable, after all, the scale of this war was very huge, involving countless cultivation seniors and high-level armed forces in the real world, and there should be no place in the world that could quietly accommodate such a huge war.

At this time, Xia Mai, who was still staring at his mobile phone, seemed to talk to him inadvertently: "In fact, no matter which world it is, there will always be a part of the official history missing." ”

He seemed to have countless questions in his heart that had nowhere to answer, and when he heard the girl's words, he suddenly remembered the "General History of Natural Law" stored in his mobile phone before the start of school, and secretly decided to take time to study it in the evening.

The female teacher on the stage didn't react to the exchange of words between him and Xia Mai, after all, the whole classroom was all down, and there was a bit of a feeling of completing a fixed task in it—although many of them didn't sleep on purpose, but they just had nowhere to vent the fatigue from the charm class.

This made them desert even more unscrupulous, Jiang Chen simply sat down a little closer and asked the girl who was playing a mobile game: "Can you make an analogy about the missing history?"

Xia Mai didn't answer his question directly, but asked, "The teacher just mentioned that cultivators now have to hide their identities, guess why?"

Jiang Chen was puzzled: "Isn't it because of the peace agreement?"

"The peace agreement does not require practitioners to hide their identities, but only to ensure that they do not use 'spirits' to influence and interfere with the operation and development of the 'spiritless' world, isn't it?"

"So, is it because you want to learn the culture and scholarship of the 'spiritless'?"

Xia Mai shook his head again and said, "This is indeed the official statement, but in fact, if we want to observe the behavior of the 'spiritless' or learn their knowledge, there are more efficient ways for us. ”

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen had to admit that what Xia Mai said did have some truth, the reason why the entire Immortal Cultivation World began to hide his identity and avoid the "Spiritless" should be a more profound past or some events that made the entire Immortal Cultivation World pay the price.

"Could it be that after the peace agreement, something happened?"

The girl's eyelids moved slightly, her long eyelashes trembled softly, and her tone remained steady: "This is going to talk about a legend called 'Spirit Hunter'." ”
