Chapter 228 The Struggle of Martial Immortals
……

Just as Wu Wen was retreating.

Sudden.

He turned his head to look at the right front of his body.

Not a moment later.

The figure of Master Zhiyuan appeared out of thin air before Wu Wen's eyes.

Around the body of the ancestor Zhiyuan, there was a barrier that resembled floating water, enveloping him like foam.

This barrier.

This not only shielded him from the effects of the intense radiation in the environment on his body.

Moreover, it can also shield against a range of sensory detections, including light, electromagnetic waves, and sound waves.

Therefore, when Wu Wen descended from the sky, Master Zhiyuan suddenly disappeared from his perception.

If Wu Wen hadn't used his "Digital Derivation Heavenly Eye" at this moment, he wouldn't have been able to sense the approach of the still invisible Grandmaster Zhiyuan.

Slightly reducing his invisibility, the figure of Master Zhiyuan appeared before Wu Wen like a reflection in water, swaying and illusory.

Just as he was about to say something.

Suddenly, it was discovered that Wu Wen had directly exposed himself without using any secret treasure to protect himself.

In an instant, he realized something and asked with a serious expression, "You've cultivated a martial art that can absorb malevolent energy!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen felt a chill run down his spine.

Ever since he learned from his master Li Chunfeng that the methods of martial arts cultivation had been severed by the current methods of immortal cultivation, he has kept his true cultivation methods hidden from outsiders.

Normally, Wu Wen uses the magnetic confinement ability of electromagnetic fields to form a seal around himself.

First, it can store energy to enhance itself; second, it can prevent outsiders from noticing it.

This seal will only be broken when fighting at full power.

At that time, even if people could sense the radiation emanating from his body, they would think that he had used some kind of secret treasure, like the powerful weapon with extremely high radiation that he had once seized from the Zhanbo tribe.

And there is no doubt that Wu Wen himself is a source of radiation. He cultivates the ability to absorb any energy from heaven and earth and follows the path of martial arts that strengthens the physical body!
But now.

Due to negligence, Wu Wen failed to use the Secret Treasure Water Spirit to form a protective barrier around his body.

The fact that Master Zhiyuan noticed that he could ignore radiation meant that his body was special, thus proving that he had cultivated physical martial arts!

Having already been exposed, Wu Wen simply said frankly, "Yes, Grandmaster, I was fortunate enough to obtain a martial arts inheritance method from before the Qin Dynasty, so I began to cultivate martial arts."

Didn't your master Li Chunfeng tell you that martial arts is a path to extinction?

Grandmaster Zhiyuan solemnly said, "Do not cultivate anymore from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen retorted, "Grandmaster, what I have obtained is a complete martial arts inheritance. This is not a path that cannot be severed. Why can't I cultivate it?"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Zhiyuan immediately glared and said angrily, "What, are you going to disobey my orders?"

"I wouldn't dare!" Wu Wen bowed respectfully, then continued, "This disciple only has some questions, and I hope that Grandmaster can answer them for me."

Grandmaster Zhiyuan looked at the respectful Wu Wen in front of him. Since he had met him, Grandmaster Zhiyuan had always regarded him as an excellent disciple. Therefore, he had to correct Wu Wen's sudden deviation from the right path.

After some thought, Grandmaster Zhiyuan said solemnly in a deep voice, "This should be a secret of the cultivation world. Not to mention you, even your master Li Chunfeng is not qualified to know it."

"But today, I'll tell you why."

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen immediately listened attentively.

Grandmaster Zhiyuan slowly said, "Martial arts is indeed the first cultivation method created by our ancient ancestors."

"However, this method of cultivation is extremely dangerous and extremely harmful. As the cultivation progresses, it will not only cause the cultivator to gradually separate from his human form, but also cause the appearance of extremely bloodthirsty demons."

"Therefore, under the guidance of the primordial deities, the ancient people practiced the methods of cultivating immortality that we know today." "The methods of cultivating immortality are not only extremely suitable for human cultivation, but the process is also without any harm. At the same time, it also gave birth to many ancient sages among the ancient people."

Upon hearing the words "innate deity," Wu Wen immediately interrupted, asking in confusion, "Grandmaster, wait a moment, what kind of existence is this 'innate deity'?"

Grandmaster Zhiyuan replied, "Do you know about spirit worship?"

Wu Wen nodded. Of course he knew about the sacrificial spirits. The sacrificial spirits of the Turkic sacrificial sites, as well as the nine vines underground in the Huangsha Plain of Gaochang Kingdom, were all sacrificial spirits.

“Sacrificial spirits, which are born with spirituality through sacrifice, belong to acquired deities.”

"And the innate deities are the gods that are naturally born between heaven and earth!"

“The innate deities, having lived through countless years and witnessed all the vicissitudes of the world, would not normally bow down to the ancient ancestors.”

"However, the ancient people gained the favor of the innate gods by worshipping heaven and earth, and then received their guidance, thus obtaining the method of cultivating immortality."

After a pause, Grandmaster Zhiyuan continued explaining the reasons for the decline of martial arts:

"Since the emergence of the method of cultivating immortality, it has gone against the method of martial arts."

"This is different from cultivators who revere the gods and follow the laws of nature."

"Martial artists have a strong desire to kill and do not respect the gods. They believe that although heaven gives birth to all things, humans are the masters of the world."

"Therefore, there have been many conflicts between cultivators and martial artists, even major battles that have affected the overall situation."

"But in the end, the cultivators who faced no danger, had the help of innate deities, and produced many sages were victorious."

Grandmaster Zhiyuan looked at Wu Wen earnestly and continued:
“There is nothing wrong with you practicing martial arts, but if other cultivators find out, they will naturally stay away from you, and you will be isolated in this world.”

"Now you understand why I told you to stop practicing martial arts!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen nodded in understanding.

At the same time, Wu Wen began to interpret the words that Master Zhiyuan had just said, based on his own understanding.

Wu Wen realized that this innate deity should be an embodiment of the consciousness of heaven and earth.

You should know that the Earth has a giant magnetic field.

It has existed for billions of years since its formation.

During this period, countless events occurred on Earth, generating an enormous amount of information.

When this information is recorded in the Earth's magnetic field, a quantitative change will naturally lead to a qualitative change, and consciousness will be born.

It is like the embodiment of rules, and it does not participate in the development and evolution of anything on Earth.

However, since the ancient people began living in tribal communities, they have had the custom of revering and worshipping heaven and earth.

In this way, individual consciousness information will continuously converge through sacrificial rituals, forming the power of faith and integrating into the Earth's consciousness.

Over a long period of time, under the continuous influence of the power of faith, the consciousness of the Earth will be affected, and corresponding innate deities will emerge!
Primordial deities require sacrifices and the support of faith.

Martial artists stand tall between heaven and earth, traversing the world.

Since birth, he has been a man who struggles against heaven, earth, and all things, attributing all achievements and power to himself.

Therefore, martial artists naturally wouldn't hold any sacrificial ceremonies.

This will naturally lead to conflict with cultivators.

Then war broke out.

Ultimately, however, it suffered defeat and withdrew from the stage of history.
