Inside the wooden house.
Chu Mo recounted all the recent events, especially the strange occurrences in the cultivation world, to his master.
After listening, Qin Potian was also amazed, and he was even more puzzled by the incomplete Daoist technique. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Logically speaking, cultivation techniques and various magical abilities should be passed down together, but such a strange situation has occurred in your world. This is not simple."
"In such a vast world, all the cultivators' techniques are incomplete; this is something that ordinary people cannot achieve."
The old man's expression turned extremely serious as he spoke.
"Their goal is probably to prevent you from becoming too powerful."
Chu Mo was completely stunned; he had never thought of this before.
"Master, do you mean that someone is manipulating our world?"
"But if you're worried about our growing power, why leave behind some cultivation techniques?"
Qin Potian pondered for a moment before slowly saying:
"This is not hard to explain. It's like when we catch some wild animal cubs from the mountains, we don't eat them right away, but keep them at home and let them grow up slowly."
"We also feed it while raising it."
Chu Mo was horrified: "They raise wild animals to eat their meat, but what do those people get out of us?"
"Moreover, in the thousands of years of legends, there is nothing particularly strange or significant that only applies to cultivators."
At that moment, a sudden thought struck him, and a flash of inspiration seemed to appear in his mind.
Yet, they couldn't grasp anything at all.
"Thousands of years?"
Qin Potian looked at him with slight confusion and asked, puzzled:
"What about thousands of years ago? Did anything strange happen?"
"It's gone!"
"That's all?" Qin Potian asked, puzzled.
Chu Mo quickly explained:
"There are no records from thousands of years ago, only some vague legends and speculations, which are impossible to verify."
"Even the most ancient ones are just myths and legends passed down orally from our ancestors, and should not be taken seriously."
"How is that possible?"
Qin Potian couldn't help but exclaim in shock:
"In the Kunlun Realm, the history of the human race spans at least tens of millions of years. A mere few thousand years? Are you kidding me?"
"Even I am over six thousand years old now. For those who cultivate the Tao, several thousand years is not a very long time."
The old man paused for a moment, then continued with a very firm tone:
"Moreover, the path of cultivation is profound and mysterious. Without endless years of studying the Dao of Heaven, it is impossible to create a perfect cultivation method."
"But according to what you've said, your world clearly has mature cultivation techniques."
"Master, is it possible that cultivators from other worlds came to our place and left behind incomplete cultivation techniques?"
Chu Mo continued his analysis:
"This explains why our cultivation method is incomplete. After all, to them, we are just a Tu tribe, so it's not surprising that they give us inferior ones."
Qin Potian thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"You are no different from us, which means that the evolutionary process is the same."
"But we have a history of tens of millions of years, and there are even legends from ancient times. Why do you only have a history of a few thousand years?"
"This alone doesn't make sense; there must be something strange going on your end!"
The old man spoke with absolute certainty.
Faced with this question, Chu Mo was stunned and shocked, and couldn't help but think of the theory of a civilizational gap that many people had speculated about.
According to their conjecture, before this civilization, there were countless other glorious civilizations that repeated the cycle of prosperity and decline.
He hadn't thought much about it before, but now, considering the situation here and thinking about some ancient legends, he realized that...
The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.
But if that's the case, what would be the reason that human civilization on Earth has only existed for a few thousand years?
Are these related to the tribulation Master Huang mentioned?
What exactly was that calamity?
At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of confusion and fear, his mind a complete blank.
"Foolish child, thinking too much about the future is useless. The only right path is to seize the present and strive to become stronger."
"Otherwise, if chaos truly descends and your own strength is too weak, what can you do?"
Qin Potian gave a low shout, which immediately calmed Chu Mo's agitated mood considerably.
Master is right. Instead of worrying about the future, we should focus on our cultivation.
If you are strong enough, what changes or challenges are there to fear?
As for Earth, is it really just someone else's ranch? Will the impending catastrophe truly occur?
Thinking about it now is useless.
Only the strong have the right to worry; otherwise, they only add to their troubles.
Chu Mo put aside these worries for the time being and chatted with the old man for a long time.
Just then, a rough voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Third Uncle, may I come in?"
"Hmph, come in if you want, no one's stopping you." The old man's tone was a little annoyed.
The person outside didn't seem to care at all, chuckled, and strode in.
Chu Mo turned his head to look.
The newcomer was tall and burly, with bulging muscles that were even more exaggerated than Lian Po from the game Honor of Kings.
Its aura was terrifyingly overwhelming, like a ferocious beast from ancient times, domineering and fierce.
Chu Mo didn't even need to guess at this person's level; it was absolutely beyond his imagination.
It can only be described as vast as the stars and the sea, unfathomable.
To use a common phrase from online novels, it's truly... terrifying!
Although the big man looked all smiles, Chu Mo could see a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
