“After this, I will take a walk in this world and see what an ordinary person in this new era will look like. Maybe I can get inspiration from them.”
….
Time passes like water. In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.
In the past ten years, the True Martial Dao Body Technique had spread widely. Some of the more talented practitioners had cultivated to the Xiantian realm and started exploring the world.
Of course, these martial artists were all beginners in the Martial Dao True Body technique.
In fact, there were already martial artists stepping into the Deva Realm.
This was because the cultivation method of the True Martial Dao Body and the old cultivation method were only different before the Deva Realm. The previous realm can be interconnected, and there are no obstacles in replacing the cultivation method.
However, as long as a martial artist had relied on the old martial cultivation method to become a Deva, it was, they were unable to switch to cultivating the True Martial Dao Body unless they crippled their current martial cultivation and retreated to the Eternal Earth realm.
Gradually, the difference between the so-called "new martial artist" and the "old martial artist" was formed.
This situation had a great impact on the old martial artists.
First, due to the fame and status brought by their previous martial arts achievements, their hearts began to fade or even collapse under the influence of new martial artists.
Indeed, there were many Heaven God, Heaven King, Mystical God, Gold God, and Limitless Gold God among the old martial artists. They were still the strongest group of people in Chongyang Star.
In theory, as long as their strength existed, their status should not be affected.
But the truth is, that's not the problem.
This was because the strongest group of old martial artists, Sage, Limitless Gold God, and Gold God alone, accounted for over 70% of the population of the three Immortal Sects.
This group of experts were the founders who founded the Wu Dynasty and came from the Immortal sect. Their reputation and status would not be affected at all.
What was really affected was the middle and large powers that did not take part in the formation of the Wu Dynasty.
There are not many top figures in this army. Even if summed up, they only accounted for 30% of the total.
However, the Third Realm of the Eternal World, which was the Deva Realm, the Eternal Heaven Realm, and the Heaven King Realm, constituted the majority of most people.
The first conflict between new martial artists and old martial artists occurred in the Deva Realm, the Third Realm of the Eternal World.
Therefore, many gods were greatly affected. Their original identities, statuses, and even interests in various aspects began to be affected by the new martial artists.
After ten years, the conflict has intensified.
Yan Buqun was an old martial artist.
Major changes in society have had a major impact on his life.
She came from a humble background, and her parents were just ordinary people. They do not have a stable career. They roamed around lazily all day and eventually died in an accident when he was ten years old.
Yan Buqun who had been orphaned could only beg for a living.
Later on, he accidentally obtained a martial technique manual from the corpse of an old beggar that allowed him to cultivate to the Xiantian realm.
It was as if he had obtained a treasure and he studied it diligently by himself. However, due to the lack of guidance from his teacher and the basic knowledge of martial arts, not only did he not manage to master martial techniques, he even crippled his right hand.
In the end, Yan Buqun could only offer this manual to the head of the dojo and ask him to treat his injuries and accept him as an apprentice.
Fortunately, the master dojo was quite good. After receiving the manual, he actually kept his promise to help him treat his injuries and even let him stay in the dojo to study.
Yan Buqun finally officially stepped onto the path of martial cultivation.
However, those good times did not last long. In just three years, the dojo master's enemy came knocking on his door. The entire dojo is destroyed. Yan Buqun only managed to escape because he was shopping outside.
Furthermore, he started his life as a wandering cultivator. He was a bandit, a horseman, a mercenary, and a companion of beasts in the mountains.
Yan Buqun who had not even reached the Xiantian realm after spending half his life, finally jumped off the cliff while being chased by his enemy.
He just wants to die.
Unexpectedly, he fell into the cave at the base of the cliff and found some spiritual fruits and martial technique manuals.
Originally, with his talent, he had no chance of becoming a God. However, he was lucky enough to face the breakthrough phenomenon of Cui Heng and instantly switched from Earth God to Heaven God.
Even in the Chongyang Star, the Heaven God could be considered a mighty figure. At the very least, he could be the leader of several organizations in a big city and be considered a reputable person.
Next, Yan Buqun opened a dojo and prepared to make a living from it.
The reputation of the Eternal Heaven was quite useful. Many people came because of his reputation, and the dojo was very popular.
Unfortunately, those good times didn't last long.
Big changes begin. The Wu Dynasty was founded.
Next was the emergence of a new martial path.
Almost overnight, all the students in the dojo escaped.
Especially after it was revealed that the old martial artists above the Deva Realm were unable to switch to cultivating new martial paths, even his personal disciples left him one after another.
Just yesterday, Yan Buqun's only remaining personal disciple also said goodbye and left.
In the end, he was the only one left in that big dojo.
"Sighs…"
Yan Buqun sighed softly and closed the door of the dojo. He turned around and saw the hall empty. The scene of an apprentice practicing martial arts here in the past was still fresh in his memory.
He slowly walked through the hall and arrived in the backyard. Ignoring the sand and gravel on the ground, he lay on the ground and stared at the night sky. He stretched out his palm and grabbed, but he only grabbed the empty air.
“In the end, everything was in vain. Even my Eternal Heaven cultivation was futile in the new era.
Yan Buqun muttered, “I know that such a huge social change is a good thing for most ordinary martial artists like me. But I feel so wretched. Sighs…"
As an ordinary martial artist, it was almost impossible for him to obtain a martial technique that allowed him to step into the Mystic God realm. As a Heaven God, he also wanted to switch to cultivating new martial techniques.
But in order to cripple the cultivation of the Eternal Heaven and return to the Eternal Earth realm before turning to a new cultivation technique and starting over, Yan Buqun knew the limits of his abilities. If he really did that, there was a high chance that he would never be able to return to the Deva Realm.
He might as well stay like this.
"Maybe, I should have lived my life as an ordinary person." Yan Buqun looked back at his life and realized that it was completely meaningless after finally achieving nothing.
Especially in this new era, there was no longer any place for him.
“What should I do next? How should I live?”
Yan Buqun felt his life was completely worthless now. His family had long since died, and his disciples and disciples had also left him one after another under the trend of the new era.
He's totally alone.
An unprecedented sense of confusion surged within his heart, completely making the Eternal Heaven like him feel a little suffocated.
Thump! Thump!
Right now, Yan Buqun suddenly heard a voice from the hall. Looks like someone is knocking on the door.
He sat down from the ground and looked towards the hall in shock. Then, she looked up at night and muttered to herself confusedly, “Who else will come looking for me, especially this time?”
However, even though he was confused, this knock on the door was like raising the last hope in the depths of his heart. Yan Buqun stood up and walked over to open the door of the dojo.
"You are?" Yan Buqun looked at the young man standing in front of his dojo in a daze.
This was a young man who looked to be around 20 years old. He had a handsome appearance, gentle facial features, deep eyes, and a thin smile on his face, giving off a gentle feeling.
Yan Buqun carefully recalled his 200 years of life and confirmed that he had never seen this person.
Who her?
“Are you Yan Buqun?” the young man asked with a smile. His voice was soft and pleasant, giving off a feeling like the spring breeze.
“Yes, yes, I am Yan Buqun.” Yan Buqun hurriedly nodded. He instinctively felt that this young man was amazing, but he was still confused. He asked curiously, "Are you here to look for me?"
"That's right." The young man nodded slightly and smiled. "Are you not going to let me in to talk?"
