Chapter 182 The Beginning of the Golden Age

Ultimately, the Celestial Emperor, or rather the Celestial Realm, wanted to obstruct the normal development of the mortal world.

"They seem to be afraid of something."

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei said.

If we believe Zhong Kui Yaohua's explanation, the reason why the celestial realm suppresses the mortal world is that they are afraid of him, the chosen one.

But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem quite right.

Li Wei remembered that when he said he wanted to conquer the Immortal Realm, Zhong Kui Yao Hua's reaction was subtle, showing both surprise and relief.

It was as if she had never considered that Li Wei, the chosen one, would pose any threat to the immortal realm.

Therefore, Zhong Kui Yaohua did not actually believe that the chosen one in the mortal realm would threaten the immortal realm.

In her view, the greatest expectation for Li Wei was to be able to establish an institution similar to the Celestial Court in the mortal world and ascend the throne as emperor.

After all, nobody knew that Li Wei had a cheat system.

A day in heaven is a year on earth. Four hundred years ago, less than two years had passed since the incident involving Ji Yuanhong in the Immortal Realm.

If the matter of the Youchao clan's human emperor was indeed orchestrated by the immortal realm, their haste in causing trouble is undeniable.

So what exactly is the Immortal Realm afraid of? Why would it repeatedly infiltrate the human race and bewitch the Human Emperor?

Li Wei fell into deep thought.

"Your godmother said this matter will be resolved soon."

Xie Youshan looked at Li Wei's furrowed brows and said.

[I'm so confused because she clearly knows so much but says nothing. Riddlers are so annoying!]

"Yeah, if the sky falls, someone tall will hold it up." Li Wei snapped out of his thoughts and stroked Xie Youshan's hair as he spoke.

He decided to stop wasting his energy on this; after all, the course of history was already set, and he would just have to let things take their course.

Having transmigrated here, besides searching for the Nine Cauldrons True Scripture, the most important tasks are to acquire fortune and improve cultivation.

Each time I travel through time, I gain an extra year of training time, allowing me to grow stronger before my enemies can react and catch them off guard.

For example, when he went to the capital of Wei, he wanted to join the White Lotus Sect gathering and see what these people were up to.

In addition, there's Gu Meng's matter that needs to be resolved.

If you want to get involved in these troubles, your cultivation level needs to be too low.

The next morning, Li Wei left Kunlun Palace and took a walk in Kunlun with Xie Youshan.

This place hasn't changed much compared to a thousand years ago, but the people have changed several times.

Li Wei learned from Xie Youshan that the girl Xiao He from a thousand years ago had died a few years ago because she had only cultivated to the Heavenly Fate Realm and her lifespan was insufficient.

"The life-giving substances in the world are becoming increasingly scarce. When you last came here, the Mirage Clan in the Spirit Bridge Realm could still live for six hundred years, but now the Divine Treasure Realm only has a lifespan of six hundred years."

"The lifespan of a demon in the Heavenly Fate Realm is probably less than 1,500 years. Xiao He ultimately died before reaching the Void Realm."

Xie Youshan said in a calm tone.

More than two thousand years have passed. Not to mention Xiaohe, even her relatives have almost all died. Nowadays, apart from a few Void Elders, there is no one in the Mirage Clan who is related to her by blood within three generations.

"This is the demon race; the lifespan of humans is halved."

Hsieh Yu-shan added.

"In that case, it would be very difficult to reach the supreme realm by simply relying on lifespan."

Li Wei looked at the group of unfamiliar human students and said.

"Yes, the lifespan of cultivators in the Supreme Realm is still very long, but the lifespan of demons in the Void Realm is only two thousand years, while no human in the Void Realm has lived for more than a thousand years so far."

How has human martial arts developed in recent years?

"Since you passed down the Foundation Establishment method, the human race has produced several Supreme Realm experts in the past thousand years, but there are still many people stuck at the Fate stage, unable to enter the Void Realm."

"That's normal. To enter the Void Realm, one must first master the power to shatter the void. Even most demon cultivators can't pass this test."

Li Wei wasn't surprised, since most of the future Heavenly Fate cultivators couldn't unleash the full power of seventh-tier martial arts due to insufficient true qi, thus preventing them from taking that step.

The two chatted for a while and soon arrived at the third floor on the left, also known as the Martial Arts Building.

I happened to see some new students enrolling.

Just like Xiao He back then, she was a female demon from Kunlun Mountain who served as the guide.

This familiar scene made Li Wei feel dazed.

But I'm not sad.

After all, Xiao He had no relation to him, unlike Zhong Kui Ying, who used to be his sworn sister.

"Your Majesty!" Xie Youshan now resides in Kunlun, so the Kunlun demon race naturally recognizes this Mirage Queen.

"You go about your business, your young master and I will just stroll around."

Xie Youshan waved her hand and used the power of heaven and earth to help the female demon who was bowing up, then she and Li Wei walked away to another place.

"Young Master? Isn't Young Master Miss Qingwan?"

The young succubus, not yet a hundred years old, looked at the two figures from behind, somewhat puzzled.

After reading it once and listening to Xie Youshan's explanation, Li Wei learned that Kunlun's current academic system has changed to five years, and one can graduate once they have cultivated true qi.

The recruitment criteria no longer focus solely on physical appearance, but place greater emphasis on cultivating one's innate physical constitution.

This method for judging the quality of one's aptitude is naturally a summary of teachings over the past thousand years.

Even in just five years, many people have cultivated to the Spirit Bridge or even the Divine Treasure realm.

This can be considered the golden age of cultivation for the human race.

The human population is still far smaller than in later generations, but the number of cultivators may already be no less than in later generations.

Li Wei knew this was because there were still substances of immortality remaining in the world.

These longevity substances seem to have an exceptionally strong effect on humans. For example, the demon race in later generations, even without these substances, had a lifespan of over a thousand years at the Void Realm, not much less than it is now.

However, once the human race loses its longevity-enhancing substances, even a Void Realm cultivator's lifespan will only be around three Jiazi (60 years).

The proportion of people who are capable of cultivation has decreased dramatically.

"This kind of human race is indeed the best cradle for nurturing extraordinary technological civilization."

Li Wei watched the group of human youths sweating it out in the training ground and thought to himself.

He now believes that it was this group of humans who created that brilliant ancient civilization, which, although later destroyed, was indeed once glorious.

"In that case, I'll give them another push and see just how far they can go."

An irrepressible curiosity arose in Li Wei's heart.

There are still about three thousand years until that civilization goes extinct.

If he were to impart scientific methodology to this human race over a period of three thousand years, who knows what kind of civilization they would develop?

"Moreover, in this way, I should be able to obtain a lot of human fortune, and I can also record the extraordinary technologies they develop during my subsequent travels and bring them back to future generations."

Li Wei realized that he was the link between ancient civilization and later generations.

Even if the world is destroyed in the future, he will inherit the research results of the ancient human race and spread them to future generations.

Therefore, he did indeed have the motivation to promote the development of technology among humans.
