Chapter 1021.1: Deities - Part 1
Prompted by that reminder, Chen Chao quickly turned his head away and also twisted Yu Xiyi's head to face the other direction.
Yu Xiyi sighed with emotion. "Any one of the spiritual herbs in this medicinal garden would probably be regarded as a priceless treasure by the major sects nowadays, yet here they can only serve as nourishment."
Chen Chao smiled. "It's not the same era. In their time, although cultivators at the Fuyun Realm were still rare, they definitely weren't as scarce as they are today, where you can search the entire world and hardly find a few."
By Chen Chao's estimation, the number of Fuyun cultivators in that era was probably about the same as the number of cultivators at the end of Nepenthe today.
As for why, he did not know, but most of the cultivation methods from that era had probably not been passed down. Martial cultivation was especially so. The martial path of today was already vastly different from what it had once been.
One could say that the martial artists of this era had opened up an entirely new path for themselves.
As far as the current records of human history went, they could only be traced back about a thousand years. The period before those thousand years was collectively referred to as the previous era.
As for that vaguely defined previous era, how long it had lasted, or whether it had even been only a single era, there was no way to verify it. After all, the only means modern cultivators had of understanding that era was through the occasional discovery of ancient sect ruins.
Perhaps the old daoists in Infatuation Daoist Temple who had lived long enough knew something, but those old daoists rarely appeared in the mortal world. It was practically impossible for others to learn anything from them.
