The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

When Zeng Wenyu was in Fuchong Mountain, he once asked Shen Xuzi and Mu Qiao about the origin of Qi Refining. At that time, Shen Xuzi thought about it carefully and told him that Tianyi Continent was not able to refine Qi from the beginning. At the beginning, the entire continent was left with only ordinary people and those with better physical fitness.

Legend has it that one day, an old man with a halo on his head, wearing clothes of seventy-two colors, and wearing a long robe appeared. He held up his left hand and held up his right hand. The old man had the ability to communicate with the sky and the earth. With a wave of his hand, the mountains and rivers moved and changed their positions. It was he who sorted out all the veins of Tianyi Continent and made Tianyi Continent a suitable place for cultivation.

After the old man sorted out the context of Tianyi Continent, he said that his father asked him to come here to preach and learn. Later, he accepted two disciples and established the first cultivation sect. One of the disciples was engaged in Qi training and the other in body training. These were the first two native cultivators of Tianyi Continent. Under the old man's guidance, they also became great cultivators with extraordinary abilities. They accepted countless disciples and passed down countless cultivation techniques.

But one day, the old man suddenly disappeared, and the two disciples started fighting over who was stronger, Qi refining or body refining. The fight tore the Tianyi Continent into pieces, but in the end, neither of them could do anything to the other and they stopped. The two men split the sect founded by the old man into two, and each established their own unique Taoist sect. From then on, Qi refining and body refining were no longer one.

Eight thousand six hundred years have passed since then, and the two original disciples have never seen each other again. The eldest disciple who was practicing Qi died under a heavenly calamity because he hurt himself during a fight. The second disciple who was practicing body also died of illness because he hurt his foundation during a fight with the eldest disciple. Later, the two Taoist sects of different systems competed with each other, a large number of cultivators died, and dynasties began to change in the world. An empire began to appear on the Tianyi Continent, which was originally controlled by the cultivation sects.

Ten thousand years later, the Taoist sect founded by the second disciple suddenly fell apart for unknown reasons, and a large number of body-refining methods flowed into the people. Unfortunately, body-refining required too many things to prepare, and in the end it just became a martial art in the mouths of the people in the world.

Shen Xuzi told Zeng Wenyu all this at that time. He did not have time to tell him what happened afterwards because Zeng Wenyu was called out by Mu Qiao to practice. Mu Qiao did not know much about this period of history and could not explain what happened afterwards. Therefore, Zeng Wenyu did not delve into it at that time. He thought that Taoism still existed.

But today Li Qi told Zeng Wenyu that the Taoist sect in Tianyi Continent had been wiped out 3,700 years ago. No wonder the Qi-refining practitioners only talked about refining Qi, and they never said that they were practicing Taoism.

"So you don't know about people like the Three Pure Ones?" Zeng Wenyu asked Li Qi.

"Three Pure Ones? The name sounds familiar. I seem to have seen it in some classic book..." Li Qi tilted his head and thought for a long time. "Yes, it's the book that wrote about the destruction of the Taoist sect. I don't know what the book is called. When I got it, it was already very damaged. I could only vaguely make out some things on it. I saw the name Three Pure Ones in it."

At this point, Li Qi came back to his senses: "So the Three Pure Ones you mentioned are related to the Dao Sect that has been wiped out? Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find the Dao Sect's lineage now. Various classics and Qi-refining methods are either broken or destroyed. Things that happened back then and before can only be speculated from the broken classics. As for what exactly happened, no one can tell for sure."

"Huh? No one can explain it clearly?"

Zeng Wenyu was a little surprised. According to Li Qi, after Taoism was destroyed, everything related to Taoism was destroyed, and the entire Tianyi Continent didn't know what Taoism was. Even Li Qi had only seen some related information in the ruined books. How did his master Shen Xuzi know it so clearly?

Thinking of this, Zeng Wenyu suddenly remembered the clay statue in Fuchong Mountain. At that time, Zeng Wenyu didn't pay much attention to it because he could see it every day. Now thinking carefully, isn't that clay statue the same as the image of the old man Shen Xuzi mentioned? With a halo on his head, wearing seventy-two colors, holding something in his left hand and holding something in his right hand, wearing a long robe. Could it be that his Fuchong Mountain lineage is the lineage of the Taoist sect that was wiped out? If this is the case, it can explain why there are so many spiritual weapons in Shen Xuzi's treasure house.

"So you know that period of history?" Li Qi also looked at Zeng Wenyu with some surprise. She heard some information from his surprise. "How did you know this? You should know that period of history has been basically buried by various imperial dynasties. Even among the people, there are not many stories about that time."

"This... this cannot be said."

As it might involve his own master, Zeng Wenyu did not explain the matter to Li Qi, but the more he explained it, the more curious Li Qi became. She now felt that Zeng Wenyu was becoming more and more attractive to her.

"By the way," Zeng Wenyu decided to change the subject after seeing the curiosity in Li Qi's eyes. He took out the supplementary items from the storage bag, "This is the more radical version you wanted."

Seeing the papers Zeng Wenyu took out and hearing what Zeng Wenyu said, Li Qi's attention was indeed temporarily diverted. She took the filled papers from Zeng Wenyu.

Sitting on the chair next to him, Zeng Wenyu saw Li Qi looking carefully at what he wrote. Anyway, he didn't feel much when he wrote it, but Li Qi became gradually excited as she read it. After reading those remarks, she looked up at Zeng Wenyu with a flushed face. In her opinion, those things written on the paper were Zeng Wenyu's remarks. She knew that if the copy in her hand was really spread, I am afraid that all the empires in the entire Tianyi Continent would be in chaos.

Zeng Wenyu felt a chill on his back when Li Qi looked at him. He quickly said to Li Qi, "Just take a look at this. Don't spread it out. I don't want to become the public enemy of the entire continent!"

Li Qi nodded and put the papers into her storage ring. She knew of course what the consequences would be if these remarks were spread. Although Tianyi Continent was a continent where everyone practiced Qi Refining, there were only so many people with high talent in Qi Refining. The vast majority of people only had a little bit of talent. Those who were not talented enough still lived the lives of ordinary people. As for the lives of ordinary people, except for Kangguo, which was better, Liangguo and the new country to the north of Liangguo were all a mess.

"Don't worry, before I have the strength to unify Tianyi Continent, I am the only one who can see these things!"

After hearing what Li Qi said, Zeng Wenyu suddenly didn't know what to say. He originally thought that Li Qi just wanted to overthrow the Liang Kingdom, but he didn't expect that she actually wanted to unify the entire Tianyi Continent.
