"Child, all your efforts have been in vain."

In 1946, after the Second Global War, Jeongkook, who had ended the Southeast Campaign and the Pacific War, began to recuperate.

And thirteen-year-old Liu Li began to inherit the martial arts inherited by the family.

The first thing he hears in the morning, when he wakes up and before his morning exercises, is his father's calm, but not encouraging, voice.

"All of this is meaningless."

Father is mild. Fathers are powerful. Fathers are never willing to speak harshly about their children.

The father had no right arm.

The Liu family is one of the few families in Zhengguo that has inherited a full set of Lingwu combat methods, which is extremely rare for the vast majority of Lingwu families who have lost their classics due to the disconnection of spiritual energy and the death of their heirs.

Because the warriors of the Spiritless Era are prone to early death, they can survive thousands of years of war and still remain intact, and they have made a famous inheritance, which is enough to prove the superiority of the inheritance and the excellence of the inheritor.

And the Liu family, which holds such a reputation, when all boys begin to develop in adolescence, they must begin to carry out preliminary martial arts training, polish their physique, and cultivate the physical fitness required for subsequent training.

However, in the Liu family, there is a strange tradition - although martial arts training is mandatory, if the children of the Liu family really want to quit and vow never to practice martial arts again for the rest of their lives, never to be exposed to this aspect of teaching again, and also give up the family inheritance forever, then he can not inherit the family's martial arts and become an ordinary person.

No one despises people who quit, everyone thinks it's a normal choice, just like some people like to eat durian and some people don't.

In that case, then don't force it.

In fact, before Liu Li, several of his cousins gave up the path of martial arts because they couldn't stand the arduous martial arts training.

But Liu Li is different.

"Good morning, father."

Every morning, when he just woke up, after hearing his father's calm voice, he always replied in the same calm voice: "What is the morning training?" ”

Liu Li actually didn't understand why there was such a tradition in the family, why his father, who never spoke seriously, would always find an opportunity to hit himself like this in the morning, saying that all this was meaningless and in vain......

But it didn't matter, he never took it to heart anyway.

Liu Li has a big heart and is very forgetful about bad moods, which may be a talent for martial arts, which allows him to always insist on exercising calmly and focusedly, day after day.

The martial arts inherited by the Liu family are not mysterious, but they are not simple, even if they can only practice the guidance part in the spirit era, but if they want to learn it perfectly, they need to practice hard day and night for more than ten years to achieve.

After all, this is not a simple move routine, there are many contents of self-cultivation and heart training, many of which are beyond the limits of the human body, and most of them should be things that can only be practiced normally when there is spiritual power.

The aura was cut off, and many of the originally simple physical enhancement processes could only be achieved by hard practice day after day, so that the initial guidance process, which was originally only a few days for a genius, would take decades of ordinary materials.

Many people, most of the children of the Liu family, quit in the middle of the training because they couldn't bear it, and in Liu Li's generation, there were only two people who insisted on learning, himself, and one of his cousins who was also temperamental.

Unlike Liu Li, who regarded martial arts as a rather difficult hobby, this cousin insisted on practicing martial arts just because of a simple rebellious mentality.

- You don't let me learn, think it's futile for me to learn martial arts? I just want to practice martial arts and practice an achievement for you to see!

The arduous process of martial arts training accompanied the two children through their childhood.

Running with weights, swinging fists and swords, exercising pace, mastering balance, breathing, meditating and refining the spirit......

While the other children were playing, the two teenagers spent every free time in the training room, every weekend afternoon.

"You can't fight to win, you can't use martial arts on other ordinary people, you can't think you're strong, you can't bully the weak."

At that time, his father always admonished Liu Li like this.

['Wu' is a tool for the weak to hit the stronger, 'Wu' is a ladder used by the strong to challenge higher peaks, and 'Wu' should not be used on the weak, this kind of behavior is an insult to the word 'Wu'].

Liu Li has always been a good child, he feels that what his father said is right, and he really shouldn't do this.

After all, for him, martial arts is just a hobby, as long as no one comes to bully him, he naturally will not use his hobbies to bully others, just like no one would want to bully others with Erhu.

- Indeed.

To punch the weak, you also need to use skills, use the muscles that have been trained for a long time, and use the skills that have soaked him with the sweat of so many years of hard work......

This kind of thing is really insulting to his fists.

As time passed, Liu Li continued to grow older, and his mastery of martial arts became more and more proficient.

Soon, 1952.

When Liu Li was nineteen years old, his one-armed father stood in the training ground and sighed.

"I have nothing more to teach you."

Some lonely men said: "As long as you continue to sharpen your boxing skills, maintain your own state, occasionally learn from your cousin, and increase your actual combat experience, you should be able to smoothly reach the master realm and become a teacher who is enough to start a sect and teach martial arts." ”

"In this day and age, you've reached the extreme – no further up, there's no way."

"Is it just a master?"

Liu Li, who received such an evaluation, was so puzzled at the time, and even asked with a trace of dissatisfaction: "Isn't there a stronger realm?" I feel like I can get stronger, and it's not just that. ”

Until now, sixty-seven years later, Liu Li still remembers his father's slightly sad gaze when he touched his missing right arm.

"Liu Li, this kind of effort is in vain."

"In such an era, there is no point in practicing martial arts."

Father never lies. Fathers never cheat. Fathers never exaggerate their sons.

My father never told the truth.

Liu Li knew that what his father said was not wrong at all.

His ten years of penance were in vain, in a sense.

Because in this world, there is 'technology'.

Because in this world, there are 'guns'.

Equally.

Because in this world, there used to be 'transcendentals'.

Because in this world, there used to be the existence of 'aura'.

After becoming an adult, Liu Li, who graduated from the second-class college, was not able to find a job due to professional reasons, and his cousin, who was half a year younger, was the same.

After the end of the Second Global War, the world economy was booming, and theoretically, even beggars who didn't know anything could find a job in the city.

However, the two of them don't seem to have had much luck, they are obviously college graduates, but they can't find a position that meets their requirements.

And one day, Liu Li, who was returning home from the job search site, heard his father talking to a strange man.

"No, at least I don't agree, our Liu family has already shed too much blood during the war, and we won't continue!"

The father said in a heavy, even rarely reprimanding tone: "Don't come again—don't pull the younger generation into this world again!" ”

"Don't you understand? In this era without aura, what is the difference between people who practice martial arts without awakening in front of those who have different talents and ordinary people with bare hands in the face of firearms? ”

“…… I see what you mean. Okay, I won't come again. ”

The man who replied seemed a little unreasonable and ashamed, and after hearing his father's stern refusal, he even breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relieved expression, and then just picked up his hat and prepared to leave.

When this man opened the door and saw Liu Li, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Such a fine martial arts seed......" he muttered in a low voice.

And Liu Li also happened to see his father's sad and helpless expression through the open door.

"What are you talking about, why is the atmosphere so stiff." At that time, Liu Li made a joke and wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

But he didn't expect that this was the beginning of his path of no return.

A full sixty-seven years have passed since the young and ignorant young Liu Li became a staff member of the National Security Agency, and then became the leader of the special operations team, then practiced all the way, fought, shined in the first energy war in the middle of the world island, gradually promoted, and then became the envoy of the town.

Sixty-seven years is twice the average life expectancy of civilians in human dynasties two thousand years ago.

Sixty-seven years is enough time for a young man who has just become a martial artist to become a grandmaster, advance to a higher realm, and fill the hall with disciples and grandchildren, and start a great inheritance. It is enough to make a martial arts master age, live up to his heyday, and even can't hold chopsticks.

Sixty-seven years is enough time for people to experience a long life, life and death, indelible love and hatred in their hearts, or to see through everything and indifferently watch the life and death of all things in the world.

In the past sixty-seven years, his regretful father has died, his gentle and loving mother has died, and even his cousin, who practiced martial arts together, has died because of the open and secret battles and espionage operations between the transcendents of various countries in the energy war.

In the past sixty-seven years, he has gradually become an old man who is alone, with almost no companions, walking lonely on his own path.

For such a long time, Liu Li has clearly understood the meaning of what his father said back then.

Indeed, his efforts may have been in vain at the time.

There is an existence in this world that can transcend the limits of human beings just by 'awakening' the ability to do so.

Just like the strongest person on the earth who awakened the blood of Ying Long and the blood of Candle Day, at the beginning of his awakening, he surpassed the strength of ordinary human beings who had worked hard all their lives, and even if ordinary people wanted to strangle him naked, they would be directly shattered by his swollen muscles.

Tricks, does it make sense? He didn't use any unloading force with a fist, he directly punched a hole, he grabbed it with one hand, and the thigh bone could be directly crushed, and the parry was just to provide a target for the other party.

Guns? It's even more of a joke, in the eyes of such people, what is the difference between bullets and faster paper airplanes?

When facing these monsters, you must not treat them as human beings, you must go all out, and you must not despise them because they have not practiced skills.

This is how my cousin died, he forgot the essence of martial arts, and forgot that 'martial arts' is a tool for the weak to fight against the strong, and a tool created by humans who are not strong in strength in order to fight against other naturally stronger people, stronger beasts, and even stronger cultivators.

He forgot the proverb that "strike the enemy's weakness with your own strength."

Martial arts make it possible for the weak to resist the strong, and it can also make the strong stronger.

But in the face of genius cultivators who can resist bullets with their muscles, twist steel with their minds, and can resist small armies with their own strength, even in the age of spiritlessness, they can forcibly rely on their talents, cultivate a little fruit, and reach the realm of awakening.

The tool of martial arts is too fragile for ordinary people.

So thought of it.

In 2019, Zhengguo, Qingzhou, Nine Xuanjie Time and Space Gate.

Because of the fluctuations of the space-time gate, the endless aura rolled again, and the spiritual tides of the two realms collided, forming a huge whirlwind, turning the entire Qingzhou Plain into a haze of sand and dust.

Standing in front of the space-time gate, a sturdy old man who had already grown white hair, but was unwilling to turn it black, stood in front of the huge space-time rift with his hands in his hands.

His gaze was long, as if he was recalling the past.

And in front of him, there were many Hongwang of the Nine Xuan Realm and his Hongtianwei who were constantly fluctuating, intending to cross from the realm of different time and space and arrive at the 'Immortal Heaven'.

Liu Li recalled many things, he recalled that his cousin was scorched to charcoal by a trembling superpower who controlled thunder and fire after defeating a dozen ordinary cultivators in the middle of a world island and an unknown foreign transcendent organization.

Punches and kicks are useless, skills are useless, weapons are useless.

Whether it's footwork, spiritual sense, strength, or will, it's all useless.

- What a sad fact, a martial artist's more than ten years, or even decades of penance, is not as good as the innate talent of others.

But Liu Li didn't feel sad.

The old man, who is accustomed to seeing the separation of life and death, and the prosperity and decline of all things, knows very well that the level that he and his cousin represent cannot represent martial arts at all.

This is not the limit of 'martial arts'.

"Martial arts are human tools."

Stepping forward, aiming at the space-time gate and slowly moving forward, under the gaze of all the White Emperor Guards, under the nervous gaze of Tang Yuan and Li Yeyu, and under the gaze of all the Hongtianwei and Jiu Xuanren who were constantly pouring into the Immortal Heaven Realm, with confusion and contempt.

Liu Li, who was alone, muttered to himself softly, and then walked slowly towards the Hongtianwei who had already instinctively begun to gather the formation: "Aura, ability, supernatural powers, all kinds of cultivation methods - these are also human tools. ”

"It's like airplanes, artillery, guns, missiles, religion, science, technology, and beliefs...... These things are all tools and technologies that have been gradually invented and created by human beings in the course of thousands of years of development. ”

"Tools and technology are important, but in comparison, the most important thing is people."

Saying this, the sandstorm that originally appeared because of the space-time gate began to slowly crack a little crack.

The sun pierced through it like a sword from heaven.

And Liu Li stretched out his hand, and he held this ray of sunshine, like holding a sharp sword.

- Ordinary people say that martial artists can hurt people by flying flowers and picking leaves, but this is not the case.

True martial artists, receiving light and picking stars can be martial arts, and stepping on clouds and exhaling can be soldiers.

"What's that?!"

At this moment, King Hong had already sensed that something was wrong, not only the white-haired old man in front of him, who was actually vigorous and volcanic-like was of the same level as himself, just the elite Dao armor soldiers (exoskeleton armament) who surrounded the entire space-time gate around him were enough to make him feel a hint of threat.

And the technology of catching the photochemical sword in one hand, isn't it unbelievable at all!? What kind of supernatural power is this?!

What's going on, why does the Immortal Heaven Realm look like it's prepared?

But if they had been prepared, how could they have only sent a mere thirty people to explore the Nine Mysterious Realms?!

But all this vigilance and panic have nothing to do with Liu Li.

He closed his eyes, and his mind echoed what Yan Sheng had told him before this, about the process of communication between him and Su Sun.

- When supernatural power can do everything instead of humans, when supernatural power can give some people unique mystical abilities.

So what is the meaning of the rest of the people, ordinary mortals, to survive?

Is it exactly the same to exchange the transcendent for technology, for the practitioner for the authority, for the capitalist, for the hacker, and for everyone who has the technology?

How should the meaninglessness of civilization be avoided in order to avoid it?

Compared with some of the Yansheng who was asked, the Yansheng who was also a genius and a natural transcendent saint, Martial God Liu Li, could answer this question more naturally, more easily, and more understandingly.

[At the beginning of martial arts, it was also something that only the rich could practice. 】

[Essentially, it's just a more pervasive superpower that requires human effort to obtain.] 】

[This is true of any kind of ability, compared to a newborn baby who knows nothing, whether it is mathematics, philosophy, physics or chemistry, these knowledge are a strange superpower. 】

- And these superpowers can be learned and cultivated by the day after tomorrow, and then make people stronger.

Why, then, is it that the so-called spiritual practice, superpowers, supernatural powers, and even all other spells, which can also be analyzed and popularized, so that everyone can have them, can't be the same as mathematics and languages?

It's obviously something that doesn't make sense, does it?

As long as it can be analyzed, analyzed, and popularized, when the whole people awaken, the ceiling of humanity will be raised.

If everyone can practice, then the essence of human beings will also be raised.

And as a tool of people, the upper limit of martial arts has naturally been raised.

It's not because martial arts are weaker than cultivation, it's just that ordinary people who practice martial arts are weaker than geniuses who have superpowers and talent for cultivation.

When everyone is on the same starting line, everything has meaning again.

It's like everyone knows that if you want to become a successful industrialized country, you must at least have the people of the whole country literate and have the foundation to become workers—if you want to become a modern spiritual power, universal cultivation is naturally the foundation.

All abilities are superpowers, which need to be studied, practiced, persevered, taken seriously, and studied sincerely.

Therefore, all the sages of Jeongguk, and even the aspirants and knowledgeable people all over the world.

All of us have made up our minds that no matter what the cost, we must popularize the Dharma and practice it for all.

Because if this is not the case, the civilization of human beings on the earth will have no future in this great era of revival of aura and the opening of all worlds!

"Martial arts - the art of all people, the skill of all people, with the weak to attack the strong, break the enemy and protect the country."

Liu Li clenched the ray of sunlight that fell from his side, it was just the most ordinary, noon ray, but this ray of light seemed to be filled with some kind of will, it became shining, golden light, and the lines of the sun's true fire burned around its blade, jumping, making the atmosphere emit an ionized scorching smell.

But at the end of the day, that's just a ray of light.

It's like Liu Li is just a martial artist.

The sorrow that plagued his father's life and caused him to lose his right arm made him think that there was no point in practicing martial arts and that his efforts were in vain, and he left because of the revival of his aura.

All meaninglessness has lost the foundation of existence, because the limit he sees is only his own limit, and it is not the limit of human beings, nor the limit of 'martial arts', nor the limit of the future.

Liu Li believes that the limits of himself and the future are far more than that.

Even, even in the era of the aura, he believed so.

- If Lingwu can't get through, then take the cyber martial arts.

- If the cyber martial arts path can't be followed, then take the biochemical martial arts path.

- If you can't go to the biochemical martial arts, then go to the next martial arts.

Why?

There is no why.

- Because, Wu is there.

It's like Liu Li has been here all along.

This is the only belief that the martial god Liu Li firmly believes.

"Kill him!"

In front of the Time and Space Gate, the Nine Xuanhong King let out a gloomy roar: "Kill this leading Immortal Heavenly King, the surrounding army is not to worry!" ”

After finishing speaking, he directly drew the saber at his waist, and turned into a raging spiritual flow, and his whole person was like a raging flame in a volcanic eruption, directly crashing towards Liu Li.

And in an instant, hundreds of guards shouted in unison, countless chanting spells and the sound of supernatural powers sounding, and in the next moment, countless supernatural spells condensed into a vast and majestic, although it seemed to be ordinary, but it was a huge mountain of Mo Yu's spiritual energy, and it was suppressed towards Liu Li like this.

This is Hong Tianwei's joint surgery method, this blow 'Hongshan Zhenshen' is enough to make a king at the peak of human immortals also avoid the edge, if he is hit, he will inevitably be suppressed.

And at the same time, Liu Li.

Martial God, Liu Li.

He raised his hand, clenched his fist, grasped his sword, and grasped 'Li'.

He raised his hand and held his 'heart' that had never slackened for decades, and this piece of world.

[——Martial arts, heaven and earth are martial arts——]

When he ascended, the sword of sunshine that was tightly held in Liu Li's hand soared, and it turned into a pillar of light that penetrated the sky and the earth, directly penetrating the giant mountain of aura transformed by the law of Hongshan Town God from bottom to top, and went straight to the top of the heavenly dome.

At this point, the haze receded and the whirlwind stopped.

Between heaven and earth, the sun is in full bloom, there are no clouds in an instant within a radius of more than ten miles, and the scorching sun's rays shine through the window of the sky, illuminating the heavens and the earth.

All the aura around the space-time gate was stagnant, and the spells in the sky dissipated, as if they had never existed.

All the cultivators of the Nine Xuan Realms felt trembling at this moment.

They felt as if their bodies and souls were being grasped, the blade of the sword against their throats, and the whole world seemed to be against them—and only because the old man had raised the sword in his hand.

It's just a sword made of light.

"Attentive, attentive, attentive."

"No regrets, no hatred, no attachment."

The old warrior stared at the Nine Xuan Otherworld Legion in front of him lightly, and he calmly announced to the world: "I am the martial god of Zhengguo." ”

Saying this, he swung his sword, and the tip of the brilliant sword of light slashed across the earth, but it caused the earth and stone thousands of meters away to be cut away, drawing a wide trajectory that was dozens of meters deep, and the blazing lava turned into a moat, directly surrounding the people of the Nine Xuan Realm Hongwang and his party, who had already begun to tremble, and drew them in a circle.

The violent spiritual power flowed endlessly, and even vaguely condensed into a formation, and the spiritual power of heaven and earth operated spontaneously, turning into magical powers and spells with the old man's mind.

Transform, Wu.

Lowering his eyes slightly, Liu Li no longer looked directly at the group of enemies in front of him.

The old warrior turned around, let go of his hand, and let the brilliant lightsaber dissipate and turn into a ray of brilliance again, and the endless aura was like a whirlpool, converging towards his body, towards his soul and mind.

His tone was calm: "Ghost of the other world, kneel." ”

"If that's the case, there's a silver lining."

At this moment, at this moment.

Earth, except for Su Day, the first overlord earth immortal-level existence was born here.
