The people from the Zi Family whom I encountered in the Cloud Mist Forest were slightly older than me, but their Realm was undoubtedly above mine. Now, they must have reached even higher Realms. With my current strength, there was truly nothing to be proud of; on the contrary, I felt an urgent need to elevate my Realm.
“Haha! Not bad! It's rare to find such talent and temperament in a young friend like you. Today, Old Man will discuss matters related to the Realm with you,” Zhu Chi said with a hearty laugh, then lowered his voice as if about to share a secret. Seeing Zhu Chi's demeanor, Mo Wen sat up straight, not daring to be careless. What Zhu Chi was about to say must be very important. Zhu Chi took a sip of tea and continued, “You should know that the next Realm is called Fu Jing, and you should be preparing for it.”
“Uh... indeed, but I haven't found suitable resources yet.” Zhu Chi's words reminded Mo Wen of his difficulties. The resources for Fu Jing mainly involved finding suitable talismans and inscribing them into one's body. Once that was accomplished, Fu Jing would be achieved. Currently, talismans were not an issue for him; he just hadn't fully comprehended them yet, let alone inscribing them into his body. For him, Fu Jing seemed within reach, but once he entered that Realm, further cultivation would likely take a long time. The prerequisite for inscribing talismans into one's body was mastering them to perfection. The higher the level of the Symbol Array, the more challenging it was to comprehend, and the time required would increase exponentially. Given his current state, it would take at least ten or eight years to fully understand the Xuan Tian Formation. He had some prior knowledge of Fu Jing, but since Zhu Chi mentioned matters concerning the Realm, he must have more information that Mo Wen was unaware of.
“In ancient times, humanity faced tremendous disasters. The current classification of cultivation Realms is something that later generations have summarized through long-term exploration. Do you know what this implies?”
“Junior does not know; please elaborate, senior.” Mo Wen recalled that Old Lu had mentioned how the current Kung Fu and Realm classifications were derived from long-term summaries by people. However, what did this imply? Was there some secret behind it?
“It's normal for someone your age not to know this. Even those at my Realm sometimes remain unaware of certain things,” Zhu Chi said directly. “Let me tell you plainly: cultivation is fundamentally about refining the heart—Refining Essence, Qi, and Spirit. The Realm classifications you know are merely one widely accepted method of categorization; there are many other classification methods as well. These alternative methods are primarily found within large families, and their cultivation classifications differ significantly from what you know. For instance, the Fu Jing you are about to enter does not exist in those large families.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen was taken aback. If Fu Jing did not exist in those families, did that mean it was optional? His heart was filled with mixed emotions; on one hand, if Fu Jing was optional, then he could continue cultivating without fully comprehending the Xuan Tian Formation. On the other hand, considering the legendary power of the Xuan Tian Formation made him feel a sense of loss. Although he had doubts in his heart, he chose not to speak up and waited for Zhu Chi to continue.
“Fu Jing has only emerged in the last ten thousand years; strictly speaking, it is a technique rather than Kung Fu itself—designed purely for combat needs and aimed at helping low-Realm Cultivators survive. This is related to the great calamity at the end of ancient times. After that disaster reshaped the world and only a small portion of humanity survived to continue cultivating, they found that the Realm classifications passed down from Ancient Legacy made it difficult for their lineage to thrive. Thus, they adjusted these classifications based on environmental changes—adding or removing Realms and modifying Kung Fu—gradually forming what we now recognize as Kung Fu and Realm.”
Mo Wen understood Zhu Chi's explanation immediately; survival of the fittest was an unchanging principle throughout history. Humanity's continuous modification of Kung Fu and Realm classifications in order to adapt to their current environment was fundamentally driven by their need for survival.
