All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

The boy's shouts attracted Zhang Sanfeng, who was left behind at Wudang.

When the Wudang people saw Zhou Yongcheng, a strange look flashed in their eyes. It was the first time they had ever seen someone dressed like that.

"Young friend, what brings you to Wudang?" Zhang Sanfeng asked Zhou Yongcheng with a smile.

"There's something I'd like to discuss with Master Zhang."

"Please, young friend."

Master Zhang invited Zhou Yongcheng into the main hall.

After being seated, Zhou Yongcheng introduced himself, and a young boy poured him tea.

"You don't sound like a foreigner, but your clothes are quite novel."

Zhang Sanfeng scrutinized Zhou Yongcheng's attire closely, finding it increasingly strange. In all his years of life, he had never seen such clothing before.

"You probably won't believe it, but I come from a world more than 600 years in the future."

Zhang Sanfeng looked at Zhou Yongcheng, trying to determine whether what Zhou Yongcheng said was true.

"Since you come from the future, young friend, tell me when this chaotic world will end."

"It won't end in a short time. The Yuan Dynasty is still very powerful. However, the true dragon emperor has already appeared, and the chaos will end in a few years."

Zhang Sanfeng neither confirmed nor denied it.

Zhou Yongcheng changed the subject, saying, "Has Master Zhang's Tai Chi Manual been compiled yet?"

These words startled Zhang Sanfeng. He had never mentioned the creation of Tai Chi Chuan and Tai Chi Sword to anyone, and even the Tai Chi True Scripture was still just a concept. How did Zhou Yongcheng know about it? Could it be that, as he said, he came from the future?

"Tai Chi Chuan and Tai Chi Sword have taken initial shape and are still being improved. As for the Tai Chi True Scripture, I am still exploring it."

Zhou Yongcheng was somewhat disappointed. He had already mastered the Nine Yang Manual and had no other cultivation method left. He had thought that Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi Manual had already been created, but he hadn't expected that he was still exploring it.

"Young friend of mine has already reached the Acquired Realm Perfection. Are you perhaps seeking an opportunity to break through to the Innate Realm?"

When Zhang Sanfeng met Zhou Yongcheng, he sensed that Zhou Yongcheng's internal strength was very profound, having reached the perfection of the acquired realm. To have achieved such a level of cultivation at such a young age, his aptitude must be excellent.

"Master Zhang, aren't internal energy cultivation levels divided into entry level, third-rate, and peerless? What's this 'acquired' level?" Zhou Yongcheng asked curiously.

"Martial arts are actually about acquired and innate skills. It's just that in order to further subdivide the realms, the martial arts world has created entry-level, third-rate, and peerless levels. The innate realm has become a legend."

Zhou Yongcheng nodded. "Master Zhang has already cultivated to the Innate Realm, hasn't he?"

“I’ve reached the realm, but my internal energy hasn’t. At most, I’m only halfway into the Innate Realm. Breaking through to the Innate Realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven, and it’s even more difficult to break through to the next level after reaching the Innate Realm.” Zhang Sanfeng’s face showed despair. In fact, his Innate Realm at this time was only half a step into the Innate Realm, and he had not reached the true Innate Realm.

"Why is this the case?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.

"The world lacks spiritual energy. I have collected many Taoist secrets and discovered that there were Qi cultivators during the Qin Dynasty. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Qi cultivators had almost disappeared, leaving only Nan Hua Lao Xian, Yu Ji, and Zuo Ci. In order to break through, they wanted to devour the fate of the Han Dynasty. They sent their disciple Zhang Jiao to accelerate the demise of the Han court. So they shouted the slogan 'The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise.' Unfortunately, they did not succeed in the end. Otherwise, there would have been several terrestrial immortals in the world."

By the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had become scarce, Qi cultivators had disappeared, and martial artists had become the most powerful beings. At that time, martial artists with innate abilities were everywhere, there were many grandmasters, and even great grandmasters existed.

By the Northern Song Dynasty, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had dwindled, and even grandmaster martial artists were no longer around. The highest a martial artist could cultivate to was the Innate Realm.

After the Northern Song Dynasty, even innate martial artists ceased to exist. It's likely that all border martial artists will disappear into the annals of history, followed by the end of the Dharma era, where martial artists will become legends.

Zhou Yongcheng's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this. Was this still a Jin Yong novel? There were Qi cultivators from the Qin Dynasty to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? There were martial arts grandmasters and great grandmasters at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty?

Zhou Yongcheng recalled that Huang Yi, a martial arts novelist from Hong Kong, wrote a novel called "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty," which was later adapted into a TV series.

The martial arts prowess in The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty is quite high, with Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters among the characters.

After listening to Zhang Sanfeng's words, Zhou Yongcheng wondered if there was a mismatch, or if many of the martial arts worlds related to history were connected.

He already has a cheat code that allows him to travel through the world of martial arts. Martial arts films and television dramas are interconnected, so what's impossible about that?

Zhang Sanfeng noticed the change in Zhou Yongcheng's expression and asked, "Young friend, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

“No, no, Master Zhang is right. In our future, martial artists will no longer exist. Those who practice martial arts will only practice moves and hard qigong; internal energy cultivation has disappeared,” Zhou Yongcheng said.

"That means the world has entered the Dharma-ending Age, and all dharmas are no longer manifest."

"So how do I break through now?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult."

Zhang Sanfeng only mentioned three difficulties, and said nothing else.

Zhou Yongcheng didn't insist. Anyway, he could travel to other worlds. If he couldn't break through in this world, what about other worlds?

What if the new world is a world of cultivation? He can still cultivate immortality, and martial arts will become obsolete.

With the ability to travel the world, anything is possible.

There wasn't much to talk about regarding martial arts, so Zhou Yongcheng started talking about other things.

"When I first came to this world, I met Zhang Wuji..."

Before Zhou Yongcheng could finish speaking, Zhang Sanfeng asked excitedly, "Is Wuji alright?"

"That's great. He has cultivated the Nine Yang Manual, and his martial arts cultivation is at the first-class level, equivalent to the late stage of the Acquired Realm."

"That's good. With the Nine Yang Manual, the cold poison in his body can be removed, and his cultivation will reach the late stage of the Acquired Realm, making him a formidable opponent in the martial world."

Zhang Sanfeng asked Zhou Yongcheng about some issues concerning later generations, and Zhou Yongcheng answered them one by one.

Zhou Yongcheng checked the time. He had been in this world for almost two days, and it was time to go back. So he said goodbye.

After leaving Wudang, Zhou Yongcheng returned to the real world.

In the real world, it was afternoon, almost evening.

Zhou Yongcheng washed up, hung up the clothes he had put in the washing machine that morning, and started making snacks to go with his drinks.

Zhou Yongcheng was cooking when Ding Ying's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Brother Zhou, open the door."

Ding Ying arrived by ride-hailing service, and he also brought two bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor), so it seemed he was preparing for a big fight tonight.

Zhou Yongcheng wasn't afraid. He had cultivated internal strength, so alcohol no longer had any effect on him.

Once you drink the alcohol, circulating your internal energy once will sober you up.

Open the door and let Ding Ying in.

"I smell something delicious. Hmm, there's beef and seafood. When you come here to drink, the food and drinks should be plentiful."

Ding Ying placed the wine on the table and went into the kitchen to serve the dishes.

The dishes were ready quickly, and Zhou Yongcheng served two more bowls of rice.

"We agreed to drink, so we won't eat," Ding Ying said.

"Let's eat something first to fill our stomachs. Drinking alone is definitely not enough. We can drink slowly after we eat."

The two ate, drank, and chatted.

"I really envy you. That kid lives a carefree life," Ding Ying said.

"What's there to envy? Look how good you are now. You're married, your wife treats you well, and you have a lovely little girl. Unlike me, it's hard to even find a decent girlfriend these days. Getting married early has its advantages. In this world, profit comes first, and everything is about money."
