"Once, immortals ascended to the heavens, freely roaming beyond the Star River!!"
Li Hu's words resonated in Su Tu's ears like a deep bell, echoing loudly. He never thought that his seemingly impossible idea could actually be true??
In an era where even the simplest circuit board did not exist, could humans really step beyond the starry sky and travel through the heavens?
Could it be that those legendary immortals and divines truly exist?
Were they the ones who despised those races, and thus this disdainful sentiment was handed down?
But it shouldn't be, right? With the development of human technology today, if there were really immortals and deities on Blue Star, they would have long been detected. An MEX interstellar scanning laser could completely scan all of Blue Star in just 3.5 seconds, revealing all landscapes and resource distributions.
If there truly were immortals and deities, they should have been detected already.
Even if the immortals are absent, what about the residences and mansions they once inhabited? With humanity's nature, if these really existed, we could probably buy tickets online to visit them now.
Su Tu is well-versed in Eastern Mythology, where throughout history in every era, there have been countless immortals who transcended, sages born with wisdom, and exiled immortals wandering the earth willingly.
Take the earliest unified dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, for example, which was the first era where the concept of immortals was documented in writing.
Pre-Qin Qi cultivators, ascended immortals who sheltered the nation's fate, sang praises of the ancestral dragon's might, shaking the heavens and earth across the Nine Provinces.
Yet Qin ended after the second generation. That Great Emperor who wished to oversee the heavens and the earth was ultimately buried along with his ambitions by time. If there were truly immortals or gods, and if immense power existed to step beyond the stars back then, how could such an authoritarian emperor tolerate immortals above him?
"Nowadays, the martial arts opening acupoints technique and basic skill method are passed down by the Martial God. At that time, the Martial God said the basic skill method was granted by the First Emperor and spread to the world!"
Li Hu happened to speak up at this moment, saying something utterly astonishing.
Currently, the entire Federation is forging the foundation of martial arts with the basic skill method, but this method was only circulated after being approved by the First Emperor??
At this moment, Su Tu felt an overwhelming sense of absurdity.
He was well aware of the wonders and strength of martial arts. The entire Human Federation and billions of martial artists are forging their martial foundation with this basic skill, but this cultivation method was actually passed down from Great Qin in the dust of history?
This is simply shocking.
If Great Qin had the basic skill method and martial arts cultivation back then, why did the First Emperor die early?
It is known that martial cultivation strengthens the qi and blood, extending the vitality and longevity of life, making the lifespan of martial artists several times longer than ordinary people.
If the basic skill passed down by the First Emperor was intended to achieve immortality, how could he possibly not cultivate it?
If this emperor did not pass away, how could Qin end after the second generation?
Wait!!
Su Tu's thoughts suddenly paused. He thought of the invisible monster lurking in the shadows, the Tayue Martial Arts Hall he couldn't enter, and Lin Feiyang, whom only he had seen.
The difference in heart and spirit altitude... like night and day!!
At this moment, Su Tu's mind was struck with such a thought.
If Great Qin already began circulating the basic skill cultivation method, then had heart and spirit cultivation also started at that time?
If so... using the strength of the entire nation, deceiving enduring history!!
If this is the case, did Great Qin never truly perish but instead forged an epic deception using powerful heart and spirit force, making the world believe Qin was extinct?
The more Su Tu thought about it, the more shocked he felt.
Could it be that before the long passage of time on this land, there existed a group of powerful martial artists and cultivators who fooled the heavens, hiding a nation?
Moreover, with such terrifying existences in Great Qin, what about those even more vaguely recorded eras?
What about those immortals who were heavily inked in the annals of time??
Sometimes immortals ascended to the heavens, stepping into the Nine Heavens Celestial Palace, but damn went into the cosmos? Travelled beyond the Star River?
"Haha, junior brother, you must have imagined quite a lot now?" Li Hu chuckled.
"Let me tell you something more intense. At a distance of 900 million light-years from the Ancestor Star, there is an incredibly magnificent celestial cluster, seemingly like a clear spring cascading from the universe when viewed from afar, and on one of those stars, Federation investigators discovered a phrase."
"Suspected to be the Galaxy falling from the Nine Heavens!!!"
When Su Tu heard this, his breath involuntarily stopped.
Isn't this fucking Li Bai's poem??
So this true immortal you're talking about is really an exiled immortal??
The phrase about the suspected Galaxy falling from the Nine Heavens refers to a silver Star River seeming to cascade from 900 million light-years to Blue Star?
"Anyway, junior brother, there are countless secrets on the Ancestor Star. People explore the universe only to find that profound mysteries have long been foreseen in our homeland, we just don't know it."
"We have already discovered many things about the Ancestor Star in the universe, like those Western bird gods and our groups of immortals."
"It wasn't until today that we have begun to belatedly return to seek the relics of our ancestors." Li Hu said casually.
"As for why ordinary people cannot glimpse these secrets, one can only say..."
Li Hu pointed his finger at his head.
"Heart and spirit altitude is the road to the immortals and divines!"
Su Tu understood what Li Hu was saying. At this moment, he gained a deeper recognition of this sentence; even with countless mysteries and grandeur on Blue Star, without sufficient heart and spirit altitude, one lacks even the qualification to glimpse any of it.
This moment deepened Su Tu's emphasis on the skill of gathering Dao.
"Anyway, Su Tu, this martial exam is a great opportunity. If you can secure one of the ten spots, you have a chance to witness the traces of the immortals in person."
"I believe in your talent. Let me be honest, this martial exam serves as a selection for an incredibly awesome relic, a disturbance that has caught the attention of the entire universe."
The talents of New Star, disciples of noble families are all heading there, and even those beasts infiltrating the Ancestor Star aim for this. Currently, there are many powerful forces outside the Star River making deals with the Federation, likely attracting many Foreign Races as well."
"Master took you students hoping that one of you would secure one of these spots, which would greatly help him. Master carries heavy karma and cannot be biased, but I am placing my bets on you!"
Li Hu was looking earnestly at Su Tu.
"But wait, aren't these secrets supposed to be revealed after overcoming many trials? Brother Hu, why are you all in with me right off the bat?"
Su Tu was thinking to himself, feeling like this plot differs from the novels he read in his previous life.
