Shenzhou, you need only cultivate patiently; you will eventually comprehend its meaning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yu pushed open the door, his face marked with confusion as he asked directly, “Master, aren’t you cultivating ‘The Primordial Skill’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, a flicker of embarrassment crossed Liu Jinchan’s face; he rubbed his nose, clearly caught off guard by the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You merely smiled indifferently, knowing your master was merely comforting you—those who achieve Grand Master status are unquestionably true martial geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Liu Jinchan reached Grand Master status at fifty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Master Liu Jinchan began recounting an ancient secret of the Three Truths Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Legends say that three thousand years ago, the world was filled with true cultivators. They rode swords across great rivers, slashed dragons with flying blades, and those who attained enlightenment lived four hundred autumns—it was an age of cultivation.” Liu Jinchan’s tone brimmed with longing and nostalgia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortals towered above; mortals were like servants.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But one day, the sky fell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, you frowned in confusion tinged with awe: “The sky fell?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jinchan nodded slightly, his eyes heavy with age and sorrow: “Yes. Our sect’s founding ancestor explicitly recorded it: that day, the true sky collapsed—not an exaggeration, but an actual collapse of the heavens, shaking the entire world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heaven and earth underwent a great transformation, losing something vital.” He paused, his gaze deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was spiritual energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This energy is the foundation of a cultivator’s practice,” Liu Jinchan continued. “Once lost, all cultivators’ progress stagnated like boats trapped in still water, unable to advance an inch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All miracles vanished as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortals sealed their mountain gates, issuing commands from within, enjoying the incense and offerings of mortals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They considered themselves superior, claiming transcendence over the mortal world, holding secrets of heaven and earth, gazing down upon all beings like gods upon clouds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet fate is unpredictable. One day, a common mortal, wronged and enraged, fought back and killed a lofty immortal—yet miraculously escaped death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This was unthinkable—defying an immortal should have meant certain death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But more truths gradually surfaced: those revered as gods were merely hollow shells.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even the strongest immortal, facing a hundred united mortals, proved powerless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For millennia, mortals oppressed by immortals finally awakened and rose in rebellion. A decree spread across the land: ‘Humanity has lost virtue; all shall pursue them.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Countless mortals wielded axes to cut down mountains, destroyed temples, drove out immortals, and pulled those lofty beings from the clouds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From then on, the term ‘immortal’ vanished from the world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meanwhile, those with strength gradually emerged, seizing power among mortals and establishing secular dynasties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thus began the three-thousand-year Spring and Autumn and Warring States era, which endures to this day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You fell into thought, a complex tide of emotion rising within you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that spiritual energy is returning, how will the world evolve? Where will the future lead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chen had already informed Liu Jinchan of the return of spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jinchan sighed deeply, troubled: “The return of spiritual energy brings both fortune and peril—who can fathom even a fraction of it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, you asked: “Master, can you perceive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chen, too, was drawn in by the question, his gaze turning toward Liu Jinchan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jinchan pondered a moment, then spoke slowly: “I cannot directly touch spiritual energy, but the constraints upon heaven and earth seem to be quietly fading.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I break through to Grand Master realm, the returning spiritual energy will surely become perceptible to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet the Grand Master realm is as difficult as climbing to heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jinchan’s eyes held a trace of helplessness: “In all of Great Qing’s martial world, only four Grand Masters exist—all of them geniuses far surpassing the rest of humanity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I and the Foolish Monk are contemporaries; we once sparred. He became a Grand Master at thirty, but his nature is detached—he ignores worldly affairs, and few know of him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within Great Qing, aside from the long-missing Demon Master, whose strength remains unfathomable, the Foolish Monk is the greatest. With his talent, he may already perceive the return of spiritual energy—his current cultivation level is unimaginable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jinchan sighed deeply because, since the return of spiritual energy, he realized the gap between himself and Lu Yu had widened further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, when Lu Yu was a Grand Master, Liu Jinchan could still hold his own for dozens of moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, even if Lu Yu held back, Liu Jinchan could barely withstand a few strikes before falling—leaving him acutely aware of his own powerlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yu calmly remarked: “I sense spiritual energy growing stronger; more people will inevitably perceive it in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could not help thinking: more and more people will become immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jinchan nodded slightly—a great age is coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, you understood: to perceive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, one must indeed reach the Grand Master realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ke read this far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face bore deep thought: in the Kunxu world, cultivation was once possible three thousand years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual energy once truly existed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators who attained enlightenment lived four hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yu Ke’s current world, reaching the Third Heavenly Ladder, at Foundation Establishment, one may live four hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But three thousand years ago, the Kunxu world suffered the Collapse of Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When spiritual energy vanished, cultivators vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap between mortals disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mortals rose, no longer relying on cultivation, establishing clans and dynasties among men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-21T01:32:57.622Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","96c54b401b620f8fcb0ddc8e10b90a69eba696d8c37c9528ad6bfb4eed53fc27","simulated-to-reality-i-once-looked-down-upon-ten-chapter-54","simulated-to-reality-i-once-looked-down-upon-ten-chapter-52",728,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimulated-to-reality-i-once-looked-down-upon-ten-cover.jpg"]
