Chapter 333 You Should Get Married Now
Taiyi Ancestor said, "This has always been a legend in the Martial Arts Circle, rumors from ancient times that Earth was brimming with cultivators. Back then, people could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth, burn mountains and boil seas, they were true immortals. However, after some catastrophe, the path to becoming an immortal was completely severed, and it evolved step by step into what is now Martial Arts. It is said that only after reaching the Divine Realm can one somewhat resemble the bearing of those ancient cultivators. Only after meeting the master did I realize that the Divine Realm is still far from the true cultivators of old."
Chen Fan asked, "What kind of catastrophe led to the severing of the path to immortality?"
Taiyi Ancestor shook his head and said, "That is unknown, and besides, this is only a legend. If I hadn’t seen the master’s strength with my own eyes, I would have thought those legends were all made up."
Chen Fan nodded, understanding that Taiyi Ancestor didn’t know much either, so he didn’t press further.
He glanced at Taiyi Ancestor and asked, "What rank are you at in the Divine Realm now?"
Taiyi Ancestor replied somewhat awkwardly, "First rank."
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, "Haven’t you entered the Divine Realm for many years now? How come you’re still at the first rank?"
Taiyi Ancestor said, "The master may not know, but cultivation after reaching the Divine Realm is completely different from before. Before the Divine Realm, one stimulates one’s own potential to gain power, while after entering the Divine Realm, one must absorb spiritual energy from the heavens and earth to cultivate."
"And the spiritual energy on Earth is so sparse that it’s almost nonexistent. Therefore, cultivation after the Divine Realm must rely on spiritual medicine or some treasures nurtured by the heavens and earth, and these treasures are also extremely scarce, so cultivation progresses exceptionally slowly."
"Not just me, most who reach the Divine Realm advance as slowly as snails unless they’re lucky to stumble upon some unique treasures or get enough thousand-year elixirs."
