Seemingly sensing Wang Zheng's worries, Zhao Yucai waved his hand and took over the conversation, saying directly:
"Alright, we all acknowledge that this peacock is indeed a remarkable figure, and he wouldn't have launched that surprise attack if it weren't for the fact that the country's military strength was weak."
What's past is past. When the time is right, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with these guys. The domestic situation is not something you need to worry about. Wang Zheng, your most important task now is to improve your strength as quickly as possible.
If you have any doubts, just ask. There's no need to beat around the bush.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng was momentarily at a loss for words. After careful consideration, he finally found a suitable entry point.
"Minister Zhao mentioned before that my reward included an extra cultivation technique. I would like to ask where this technique came from."
At first, I thought that all of them were inherited by awakened beings after they materialized their own objects. But after I met Colonel Nan Fengyi from Jingnan, I saw a copy of her cultivation technique.
Not only are the images and text difficult to understand, but the language used is completely different from what we use.
When the state introduced the Five Beasts Horizontal Training Method and the Mind Visualization Method, I heard that these two methods were unearthed from ancient ruins. Is this true or false?
If it's true, then what are these so-called ancient ruins? Are they related to the forbidden area mentioned earlier?
Zhao Yucai picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
"Looks like you've really been holding back, you must have been thinking about it a lot in private, but you do have a bit of a clever mind."
To put it bluntly, that is indeed the same thing, but it's a long story. Let me ask you, when did the spiritual energy revival begin?
"2000!"
Wang Zheng did not hesitate.
Upon hearing Wang Zheng's answer, Zhao Yucai slowly shook his head.
"Wrong. In fact, the concept of the emergence of grotto heavens and the revival of spiritual energy in people's minds is wrong. The truth is that the revival of spiritual energy already occurred in 1999."
The specific reasons for the resurgence are still unknown, but it is precisely because of this that it has attracted the covetous eyes of the Heavenly Demons.
At this point, Zhao Yucai paused, then continued to ask:
"Wang Zheng, have you ever heard of cultivators?"
Wang Zheng shook his head and told the truth.
"Never heard of it."
Zhao Yucai sighed.
"In fact, the Blue Star once had spiritual energy in ancient times, but we don't know when it started to decline. As a result, these so-called cultivators gradually went into seclusion and disappeared from the world, and that's how it declined."
It is extremely difficult for these so-called cultivator sects to survive from the Dharma-ending Age.
After the revival, these practitioners from the old era realized that the faith they had held firm to throughout their lives was not an illusion. It was also after the spiritual energy was revived that these people came into the nation's view...
Upon hearing this unexpected information, Wang Zheng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"So these cultivation techniques were passed down from these cultivator sects? Then why did the government only promote two of them?"
Faced with Wang Zheng's question, Li Guofeng gave a wry smile and said helplessly.
"Yes and no. Wang Zheng, do you still remember when you discussed with me the Heavenly Demon, the outer realms, and the grotto heavens?"
Wang Zheng nodded, and Li Guofeng continued to explain:
"Your speculation at the time was actually correct. There were indeed humans in that cave. And this so-called cave was actually created by ancient cultivators using supreme secret techniques to combat the depletion of spiritual energy."
After all, the spiritual energy on Earth is gradually weakening, but the cave itself is a self-contained system. After most cultivators die, their life's spiritual energy will nourish the world.
On one side is the Blue Star, where cultivation is no longer possible; on the other is a new world, small in area but abundant in spiritual energy. What would you choose?
Although Wang Zheng had already guessed it, he hesitated when faced with this choice.
Fortunately, Li Guofeng didn't really want Wang Zheng to answer; instead, he continued:
"In the previous era, after Blue Star entered the Dharma-ending Age, most of the cultivators chose to enter the Cave Heaven, and only a few rogue cultivators remained on Blue Star."
The inheritance of major sects is not systematic at all, let alone any precious cultivation methods.
As for those sect disciples who were abandoned by their sects and remained on Blue Star, they were less like cultivators and more like servants who served these cultivators due to their poor aptitude.
Of course, we don't know how these so-called qualifications are actually judged.
After all, the era of spiritual energy is declining, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is becoming thinner. All sects will definitely become more and more strict in their requirements for recruiting disciples.
But one thing is certain: the ancient cultivation system was completely different from our modern one.
Although Wang Zheng was very interested in these secrets, he still didn't understand how they had anything to do with the cultivation method he had asked about. However, his question was soon answered by Li Guofeng.
"Shortly after the spiritual energy revival, we used the remaining inheritances to re-establish a faint connection with the cultivators in the cave."
The Five Beasts Horizontal Training Method and the Mind Visualization Method that we are currently practicing are based on techniques that originated from the Cave Heaven.
After years of trials and modifications, it was confirmed that it was suitable for the cultivation of modern awakened individuals, and the country then began to promote it.
However, both of these are extremely basic cultivation methods, and the ancient cultivators within the cave are very prejudiced. They not only cherish their own possessions, but they don't even take us seriously..."
