Chapter 21: The Difference Between Immortals and Martial Arts

Long Xingmao admired the bewildered expressions of the two children, and every time he told about the essence of martial arts, he would have the pleasure of teaching the truth, and the expression on the listener's face at that time, from puzzled to trance, was the best reward.

"In ancient times, there was no martial arts, and at that time, it was the prosperous age of immortals......"

With Long Xingmao's narration, an ancient history about this world is gradually revealed in front of the two children.

In ancient times, the world was ruled by immortals.

Immortals have the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and dominate all things in the world.

At that time, people were people, immortals were immortals, and there was no such thing as immortals.

As one of the sentient beings, the human race was only the most inconspicuous of all sentient beings at the beginning, but I don't know when people gradually had the ability to cultivate immortals, and there was the saying of immortals.

So from then on, there were only two divisions of people.

One is qualified to cultivate immortals, and the other is not qualified to cultivate immortals.

If a mortal wants to cultivate immortals, he needs to have immortal bones.

This immortal bone is not a bone, but a qualification for cultivating immortals that includes bones, blood, veins, etc., and different characteristics determine different directions.

For the vast majority of mortals, the immortal bone is a huge threshold that cannot be crossed.

In the eyes of the immortals, all mortals without immortal bones are fragile and inferior, born only worthy of servitude.

For this reason, the human race has experienced a life of enslavement by immortals for tens of thousands of years. During that time, the Terrans were oppressed and the people were struggling to survive, but they were powerless to fight against the immortals. In a year of disaster, the people have nothing to eat, and the only way is to die.

By massively reducing the population, the survival of the human race was exchanged.

It can be said that under the oppression of the entire immortal court, the human race lives a life that is inferior to pigs and dogs, and only after a certain family occasionally gives birth to a bloodline with the qualification of cultivating immortals, can it soar to the sky.

And these mortals who are so brilliant will not think about the survival of other races, and even intensify the persecution because of this.

It can be said that in those long dark years, the human race vividly embodied the word human nature evil.

However, when evil is extreme, there will be good. It's as if when the darkness comes to an end, there will be light.

I don't know when a powerful cultivator suddenly appeared in the human realm.

This person is not an immortal, he doesn't understand immortal arts, but he has a super strong physique, and he has led countless mortals to challenge the fairy world with his strong and domineering skills, and calls himself "Emperor Wu".

Of course, he was also the fastest to fail.

It is said that the immortal world at that time only sent a few ordinary immortals, and easily defeated this martial emperor.

It wasn't until later that the immortals discovered that this Martial Emperor was once an immortal cultivator. It's just that after he failed in a sect battle, he encountered a conspiracy by his fellow sects, lost his immortal cultivation roots, and could no longer cultivate, so he was expelled from the sect. But this Martial Emperor didn't know how to get it, so he found another way to open up a martial arts.

Although the martial arts he created were far less powerful than the Immortal Dao, this was something that could be cultivated without the qualification of cultivating immortals.

As a result, Emperor Wu's martial arts were handed down.

People found that although martial arts cultivation could not fight against the immortal arts of the immortals, it did greatly improve their own strength, and if they cultivated to a high depth, they could even fight against the immortal cultivators in the qi cultivation stage.

Although the immortal cultivators in the qi training stage are not qualified to be called immortals in the immortal world at all, there are many qi practitioners, and the oppression of mortals is also the most ruthless and direct, so those mortals who are not qualified to practice the immortal path have practiced martial arts one after another to fight against the immortals.

At that time, they didn't actually think too much, they just wanted to rely on their martial arts foundation to fight for a better chance of survival.

They just want to live.

And they did.

After countless struggles, the Xianting gradually got tired of the suppression one after another, and the most important thing is that the Xianmen themselves are not united, and they often fight with each other. Wantonly killing mortals will greatly reduce the resources of disciples with immortal cultivation qualifications in their own area. And at that time, in order to fight against the immortal sect, the mortals would even take the initiative to find out those who had the qualifications to cultivate immortals among the mortals and kill them first. This seven-wound style of play has indeed had a significant impact on Xianmen.

For the long-term development of the sect, in order to fight against other immortal sects, the immortal world made the first concession to mortals.

Mortals are no longer pigs and dogs, and they will no longer be killed at will, but they can only be slaves of immortals. And if you disobey the slightest, you will still be killed.

From pigs and dogs to slaves, let the resistance of mortals ease for a while.

With a respite, it's time for new growth.

In the process of cultivating martial arts, mortals continue to improve their strength, from the acquired to the innate to the three flowers, and then from the three flowers realm to the cave heaven realm, with the continuous improvement of strength, the strongest among them even has the strength to compete with the Jindan immortals.

This caused panic among the immortals, and the first real battle of immortals began.

The war still ended in a suspenseless defeat for mortals.

After all, in the Five Realms of Immortals, Jin Dan is only the third realm, while the martial arts powerhouses of the Cave Heaven Realm are already top-notch.

In this case, mortals did not have the strength to confront the immortals at all, and the martial arts powerhouses were slaughtered, and the martial arts cultivation even regressed for a time.

The re-emergence of mortals came after they mastered the power of technology.

Over the course of tens of thousands of years, mortals have gradually learned to rely on their brains to solve problems. They seek the truth of the world, explore the unknown, and with the improvement of basic cognition, the scientific and technological system has gradually developed.

At this time, there was also a huge breakthrough in the fairy world.

The immortals have the ability to travel the universe, and they found that most of the immortals in the earliest period left this world to explore the endless unknowns outside because they had the ability to travel the universe. As a result, those top immortals also embarked on the path of the sages and left this world.

The rise and fall of power led to the second great war between immortals.

This war still ended in victory for the fairy world, but it also paid a price.

The status of mortals was once again elevated, and they were no longer slaves, but servants.

But everyone knows that this is only temporary.

Since then, mortals have been madly studying science, practicing martial arts, and improving themselves in a two-pronged way.

So it didn't take long for the Third Immortal War to break out.

This third immortal war, which Xia Xiaochi said to Bai Enfei before, has been desolate for one hundred and thirty years, and immortals have made a covenant, mortals will abolish their armaments, stop soldiers, and give mortals an equal status.

Since then, mortals have truly been qualified to speak to the immortals on an equal footing.

However, after that, the technology and martial arts power of mortals seemed to have come to an end, and it was difficult to win for the time being, and the two sides continued to lose blood in the fierce battle, and one after another immortal sects even fell because of this, and finally after the outbreak of the ghost abyss, in the face of the threat of the ghost clan, peace was restored again, and even a certain degree of alliance was formed.

It is in this process that martial arts continue to grow and become one of the three foundations of mortals against immortals, and as for the other two foundations, it is naturally a scientific and technological system and strong fertility.
