Gai Qingcheng nodded and said, "It seems so."
At this moment,
Gu Zhan finally understood why Wei Wuya would abandon Sword One and Qi Baiyu, two prodigies who could lead an era.
According to Gai Qingcheng’s meaning,
The reason that in this era one cannot break through to the Grotto Heaven Realm is due to the lack of Spiritual Qi,
And Wei Wuya experimented with Sword One and Qi Baiyu, researching a method to replace Spiritual Qi, and he found Demonic Qi.
Gu Zhan had previously sensed the Demonic Qi of Qi Baiyu and Sword One up close; Qi Baiyu’s Demonic Qi was evidently purer than Sword One’s, very close to Spiritual Qi, and Wei Wuya must have further refined the purity of Demonic Qi based on Qi Baiyu.
This Wei Wuya truly deserves to be a prominent figure of the era!
Gu Zhan felt a bit emotional, and somewhat eager to experience Wei Wuya’s Grotto Heaven Realm infused with Demonic Qi.
"I have a question," Gu Zhan asked, "If breaking constraints is the same goal, why have all the sects come to me? Moreover, Wei Wuya’s battle at Qianyu Mountain directly indicates that the breakthrough method he discovered has solved the problem of the Grotto Heaven Realm not being able to manifest freely. Aren’t the sects tempted?"
Gai Qingcheng shook his head and said, "It’s actually the same; various sects haven’t only come to Yiling City but also to the Ten Thousand Mountains. However, more people come here for two reasons. First, although Wei Wuya entered the Ten Thousand Mountains, his location is uncertain and not guaranteed to be found, while Marquis, you are right here in Yiling City.
The second reason is that your Method of Divine Sight is more attractive. Wei Wuya’s Grotto Heaven Technique, no one can be sure if it doesn’t require a Spirit Root like yours. Though previously no one could confirm whether you truly mastered a method to surpass the limits of Martial Arts, the fact that you don’t have a Spirit Root isn’t much of a secret, the determined ones can still find out,
Once it’s certain you’ve truly broken the limits of Martial Arts, it signifies a new era might indeed arrive; a Spirit Root has blocked countless brilliant individuals, Marquis, you are unmatched in talent and cannot feel the despair of pursuing a lifetime only to end up with nothing. This is why so many are taking the risk today.
Because your current achievements aren’t just about breaking the limits of Martial Arts, but rather an ordinary person unfamiliar with Martial Arts achieving such a spectacular success in a few short years; those whose talents are constrained and cultivation low also want to break through!"
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said, "I suppose many will keep an eye on me in the future."
Gai Qingcheng sighed and said, "Who wouldn’t be intrigued by an opportunity to break existing rules?"
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said, "That’s quite good."
Gai Qingcheng looked puzzled.
Gu Zhan didn’t explain and asked again, "I have another major question, everyone knows, Martial Arts were created three thousand years ago by the Martial Saint, evolving over two thousand years until one thousand years ago, when the Martial Ancestor emerged, integrating the current cultivation system, always relying on Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi,
Since Grotto Heaven Cultivators rely on Spiritual Qi, fundamentally it’s not the same cultivation system. Where did this system come from? Why isn’t there any record? Moreover, the most crucial point is, Land Immortals first appeared two thousand years ago, and suddenly many Land Immortals emerged, who created such a perfect system of Grotto Heaven?"
Gai Qingcheng slowly said, "It’s Martial Arts relying on Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, whereas the Grotto Heaven Technique rejects Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, clearly it couldn’t have been extrapolated from Martial Arts, nor could it have been suddenly deduced by many people at the same time.
So, Marquis, are you suspecting that the Grotto Heaven Technique existed before Martial Arts?"
Gu Zhan nodded slightly.
Gai Qingcheng slowly said, "Marquis, I can responsibly tell you, your suspicion is correct, because those sudden appearances of Land Immortals two thousand years ago didn’t find the method themselves, they all broke through using the already existing Grotto Heaven Technique. In other words, before Martial Arts, there was already the Grotto Heaven Technique, and it was very complete!"
