"Senior, does that mean there is a distinction between ancient Kung Fu and modern Kung Fu?" Ultimately, what Mo Wen was most concerned about was the strength of ancient Kung Fu compared to that of the present. After all, he possessed the Xuan Tian Manual, and if ancient Kung Fu were unsuitable for today's environment, his excitement would be in vain.
"Hehe, Kung Fu has never had a clear distinction of strength; it is merely that many people today have altered too much in pursuit of rapid advancement in Realm, resulting in some Kung Fu developing flaws. If we were to discuss strength, it would only be a matter of focus. The ancients emphasized the fundamentals of cultivation, which is the practice of Vitality, while today’s focus is on survival. What difference does that make?" Zhu Chi shrugged. At his level of Realm, he naturally knew some secrets of the ancients. Back then, there were no Chimeras; people focused solely on their own cultivation, with Kung Fu and techniques clearly distinguished. Kung Fu was essential, while techniques could be learned or ignored based on individual needs.
"I have learned from your words, Senior. Please continue." Mo Wen did not receive a clear answer from Zhu Chi.
"My young friend may not yet grasp the Old Man's meaning. Our cultivation fundamentally revolves around practicing Vitality. Today's Kung Fu has evolved from ancient times. In the ancient era, sects were as numerous as stars in the sky, creating countless forms of Kung Fu. However, each sect treated their Kung Fu as treasures and did not share them widely. Thus, these forms of Kung Fu disappeared along with the sects themselves. What remains are only those forms that anyone can practice. Today's Kung Fu is merely derived from these surviving practices." As Zhu Chi spoke of the lost Kung Fu of ancient times, a complex expression filled his eyes—both longing and regret.
"Senior, what changes occurred in ancient times that transformed the world into what it is today?" Mo Wen had heard legends about ancient times before; Old Lu had spoken with a similar expression as Zhu Chi when recounting those days.
"Sigh! It is not that the Old Man does not wish to tell you; rather, I do not know either. Everyone seeks knowledge about ancient events as if that period has been forgotten. Even those who survived back then are unaware of what truly happened; it seems that history has been erased. All we know is that Chimeras appeared after that time, which is one reason everyone seeks their origin. Perhaps when you reach a certain Realm, you will understand more. But let us return to our main topic..." After a moment of reflection, Zhu Chi shifted the conversation back to discussing Realm with Mo Wen. Mo Wen did not dwell on why ancient times had vanished; after all, his current abilities were paramount—what good would knowing do? Strength remained the most important factor.
Zhu Chi shared much wisdom, but it could be summarized in one sentence: whether in the Ancient Era or now, people ultimately cultivate their own Vitality to reach a connection with heaven and earth or even higher Realms. Realms such as speed and symbols are merely enhancements to increase one’s chances of survival; they can be ignored if conditions do not permit or if safety can be ensured. The absence of these Realms does not hinder continued cultivation; fundamentally speaking, they are not essential to practice. Speed and symbols are merely necessities for combat. As for whether such situations exist in future Realms, Zhu Chi did not elaborate further.
