C16 The Helplessness of a Cultivator!

"My crazy master taught me some ancient words." Lu Yuhao casually made up a reasonable reason.

Lu Yun and Han Xueying did not suspect anything, but Leng Qingyun stared at Lu Yuhao with a profound gaze, feeling that Lu Yuhao seemed to have a lot of secrets on him.

Lu Yuhao was afraid that the three of them would pay too much attention to him, so he quickly continued, "Dad, what is the use of this Blood Jade?"

Lu Yun shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "This thing was passed down from generation to generation in our Lu family, but there was no information about it. We only let our descendants use their lives to protect it."

"It can't be?" Lu Yuhao looked at the Blood Jade curiously and muttered, "A treasure must be in the hands of someone who is fated to use it! Why didn't they tell the descendants what it is for?"

Lu Yun smiled helplessly and said, "The ancestral teachings say that after this thing is passed down to the fated person, they will naturally know how to use it."

"It's so mysterious?" Lu Yuhao did not think much of it. He casually threw the Blood Jade to Lu Yun and said half-jokingly, "Other than the spiritual energy on it, I didn't find anything special about it!"

Lu Yun glared at him and scolded, "What do you know? If there is nothing special about it, why would our Lu family use our lives to protect it?"

Lu Yuhao scratched his ears and said casually, "Does it have anything to do with the Lu family's disappearance from Cultivation Realm?"

Lu Yun nodded and said, "I also suspect that it has something to do with it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for our Lu family to disappear from the Cultivation Realm for no reason. Although the Cultivation Realm is now in decline, it still has a certain influence in the entire Huaxia."

"Dad, can you tell me about the Cultivation Realm? I'm quite curious!" Lu Yuhao looked at Lu Yun with a look of longing.

Lu Yun looked at Leng Qingyun respectfully and said to Lu Yuhao, "Grandpa Leng will explain it to you. I can only be considered a half-cultivation realm person."

Leng Qingyun revealed a smile and said, "Actually, the current Cultivation Realm is no different from the Mortal Realm. It's not as pure as the Cultivation Realm in the past."

"Although it's the Last Dharma Times, there should still be some cultivation sects, right?" Lu Yuhao could not help but interrupt and ask.

"You've heard of the Last Dharma Times before?" Leng Qingyun was stunned for a moment, but he did not answer Lu Yuhao's question directly.

Lu Yuhao smiled and said, "I often see this word in online novels."

Leng Qingyun did not believe Lu Yuhao's explanation at all, but he did not pursue the matter. He smiled and said, "The Last Dharma Times is the way the Cultivation Realm people call the current world. In the past hundred years, no one from the Cultivation Realm has broken through to the True Martial Stage."

"Then what is the reason for this?" Lu Yuhao was like a curious baby as he asked again.

Seeing that Lu Yuhao was so curious, Leng Qingyun explained patiently, "I don't know why this is happening either. There have always been different opinions about this problem, but none of them can convince everyone."

"What's the theory? Can Grandpa Leng tell me?" Lu Yuhao asked.

Leng Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "Some people say that the people of the Upper Realm have sealed the door to the cultivation world. Some people say that the Cultivation Realm has destroyed the origin of the cultivation. Some people say that the almighty has sealed the source of the cultivation. Anyway, there are all kinds of theories, but none of them have solid evidence to prove their speculations."

"Oh!" Lu Yuhao analyzed the theories that Leng Qingyun had mentioned after combining with the legends he had learned in his previous life. However, he did not get the answer he wanted.

Therefore, he could only take a step back and ask, "Then, which cultivation sects are there now?"

Leng Qingyun pondered for a moment and said, "There are only a handful of sects that have gone into seclusion. The Cloud Chasing Sect, Myriad Transformation Sect, and the True Martial Pavilion are the only ones that are still holding onto the ancient path of cultivation. They basically don't participate in the conflicts of the secular world and only have dealings with people from the Cultivation Realm."

Lu Yun interrupted with a smile, "Kid, Grandpa Leng is an elder of the Cloud Chasing Sect."

"Ah, then isn't that awesome?" Lu Yuhao looked surprised, but he was even more worried. With such a powerful sect protecting them, the Lu family in his previous life would not have been able to escape the calamity of extinction. Could he protect them this time?

Leng Qingyun ignored Lu Yuhao's small surprise and continued, "The remaining sects are more or less related to the Mortal Realm. For example, there are seventeen sects that are led by Dao Sect and Buddhism. They are all sects that are half-cultivators and half-realm dwellers. There are also a hundred or so sects led by the Martial Arts Hall, the Mantis Sect, and the Iron Palm Gang. They have already become inseparable from the Mortal Realm. However, they are still connected to the Cultivation Realm and are still cultivating their cultivation techniques. Therefore, they can still be considered as members of the Cultivation Realm."

Lu Yuhao looked like an old man and sighed as he shook his head, "It seems like the Cultivation Realm has really declined."

Lu Yun rolled his eyes at Lu Yuhao and scolded him, "Little bastard, you are only a half-step Martial Disciple, but you are like a Martial Ancestor. No matter how declined you are, there will still be countless experts that can instantly kill you."

"Tch!" Lu Yuhao was unconvinced, "Although I am only a half-step Martial Disciple, I can even fight evenly with that old bastard Nangong. Give me a few more years, and there won't be many people who can instantly kill me."

"Kid, you have the guts!" Leng Qingyun laughed and said, "However, it is not easy for the Cultivation Realm to break through to the next realm. The Last Dharma Times is not a joke. The Essence Qi required to refine the body is getting thinner and thinner day by day. Many geniuses have been stuck at the Martial Disciple Realm because they are unable to obtain enough Essence Qi. Those who can reach the Martial Master Realm are only those who have great opportunities. As for the Martial Ancestor Realm, it is almost the same as winning a lottery in the Mortal Realm."

Lu Yuhao said in a somewhat unconvinced manner, "Then how did Grandpa Leng reach the Martial Ancestor? Did he win the lottery?"

Lu Yun slapped Lu Yuhao's head and scolded, "Little bastard, you don't even know how to speak to your elders. Grandpa Leng was a Martial Ancestor twenty years ago, and at that time, the Profound Qi was still relatively abundant."

Lu Yuhao rubbed his head and said, "Then, there should be a lot of people who reached the Martial Ancestor at that time. Then why are the Martial Ancestor like a treasure now?"

"You were quite smart just now, but now you have become stupid!" Lu Yun scolded in a disappointed manner, "No matter how much Profound Qi you have, it is useless if you don't have enough talent. Furthermore, Martial Warriors can't live forever, and they will get sick and die eventually."

Lu Yuhao pursed his lips. Of course, he knew that Martial Warriors would die. He just wanted to act a little childish. He felt that only if he hid himself deeper, it would be more beneficial for him to protect his family. He wanted to turn himself into an extraordinary soldier, and unless it was necessary, he would not do things like barge into the Nangong Manor.

Leng Qingyun added helplessly, "Actually, the Cultivation Realm now is no different from the Mortal Realm. In the eyes of ordinary people, cultivators below the Martial Saint are just people who practice martial arts. They won't treat us like immortals like before. After all, there is no one in the Cultivation Realm who is at the True Martial Stage."
