CHAPTER 1306: CHAPTER 1280: A NEW ERA

Tangyu had actually thought about this matter long ago, and Yu Lingtian’s inquiry was also within Tangyu’s expectations.

Tangyu nodded and said, "There are some things I was not very willing to speak about, at least not now. But since things have already happened, saying it in advance doesn’t change much. After all, some matters that need to be announced to the world will eventually be announced, it’s just a matter of timing."

"Our Huaxia Country, a nation with a long history, has its five thousand years of essence buried with many secrets. Whether immortals truly exist is a question that concerns the world, and I really can’t answer you because I don’t know either, as I’ve been seeking too. We are not immortals, just cultivators, seeking the path of immortality. However, we indeed possess abilities like those in Huaxia’s myths, capable of extraordinary feats."

"Roaming the sky and the earth, splitting mountains and rivers, one could say we are capable of anything. However, strictly speaking, cultivators in the Huaxia Country cannot really be considered cultivators; they are only considered Ancient Martial Artists. Above the Ancient Martial Arts are the cultivators."

"Although our technology is advanced and allows us to explore the universe, we cannot understand dimensions. Earth is merely a small world; everything on Earth is simply a dimension. Beyond this dimension, there is the Cultivation World, which is the true world of cultivators..."

Tangyu seriously explained these situations to Yu Lingtian, touching on some current minor troubles on Earth and his plans for the future. Tangyu also intends to spread Taoism Cultivation Civilization on Earth. Such a civilization should not remain buried. By developing both technology and Taoism Cultivation Civilization simultaneously, Tangyu believes it will better promote Earth’s progress. However, Earth’s cultivation resources are exceedingly scarce.

On Earth, even with the best Taoism Cultivation Dharma Gates, it’s difficult to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm. Let alone the Golden Core Realm, even reaching the Mystic Law Realm is challenging. This is one of the bemoaned aspects of a small world. Nonetheless, it’s an unavoidable fact. In a small world, producing even one Golden Core Realm cultivator is an extremely rare occurrence.

Yet in Tangyu’s heart, there remains a grand aspiration—hoping that this civilization of cultivation can truly spread on Earth, opening a new world for Earthlings, allowing them to recognize more about this universe. So people will understand that Earth’s position is not merely in this simple universe discovered by scientists. This world has many dimensions, countless small worlds, the Cultivation World, and even the legendary Immortal Realm.

After listening, Yu Lingtian remained in a stunned daze for a long time before finally snapping back to reality and slowly digesting the news. It was indeed an extreme shock for Yu Lingtian, completely shattering the limits of his imagination.

After a long while, Yu Lingtian stood up, firmly nodded to Tangyu, and said, "Tangyu, thank you for sharing so much with me, for bringing me into this new world, a wondrous world. I will report this information to higher authorities. I also hope to see the day when Taoism Cultivation Civilization can spread on Earth, allowing us to develop even faster, making Earth a better place. I believe the two civilizations can merge and complement each other. If the two civilizations can intertwine, it would certainly result in enormous effects."

"If Earth can undergo groundbreaking changes upon the convergence of these two civilizations, you will truly be a great figure, and everyone will remember you."

Tangyu shook his head, "These are just empty titles; I have never cared for them. Earth is my home, and I love it. I hope to build it into something better. When I have the capability, I will do my utmost to help this home. Cultivation is a civilization, and since it’s a civilization, it should not be hidden. It’s like those Ancient Martial Arts practitioners, living sneaky lives for five thousand years, like mice."

"Due to numerous factors, many things have chosen deep concealment to better protect themselves, like some of Huaxia’s cultural treasures, which are extremely protective, never shared outside, always hiding. National Arts are like this, Traditional Chinese Medicine is like this, as is National Studies."

"Such a path not only fails to sustain development but also leads to decline and destruction. This is not an outcome I wish to see. Like an Ancient Martial Artist not daring to expose their strength, leading a life in shadows isn’t conducive to progress. Therefore, I hope to spread the cultivation civilization, so it is truly accepted by the world. Let cultivators no longer hide and let everyone live openly, integrate into society instead of finding a secluded spot to hide and protect themselves. Universal martial arts, universal cultivation, ushering in a new era, opening the cultivation civilization."

"Thinking about it, it is a grand undertaking. I have always enjoyed challenges. Just like when I promoted Traditional Chinese Medicine, I wanted to eliminate all prejudices against it and hoped people, whether from Huaxia or foreign lands, would regard it with new eyes, truly realizing its profound depth. So, I did it, and reality proved that hard work does pay off. Hence, I’ve brought some glory to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Of course, what I did was not enough."

"Now the cultivation civilization is the same. I hope to promote it just like I did with Traditional Chinese Medicine, bringing Earth into a new era, a time that seems dreamy and sacred. While the era transitions, Earth is also changing. I hope to see Earth leap toward a stronger civilization. We have the power of technology, but our human power is too fragile."

"Countless diseases, traffic accidents, natural disasters... and so on, all can lead to death. Every day, a vast number of people die. Humans are truly fragile; no matter what power they encounter, they are powerless. We have advanced technology, we possess wisdom that even the people of the Cultivation World marvel at, yet ultimately, we are still too weak."

"Even if a Great Power of the Golden Core Realm descended upon Earth, if they wished, they could completely destroy the entire planet. And this only requires one Great Power of the Golden Core Realm. In the Cultivation World, there are countless Great Powers of the Golden Core Realm; you could easily grab a handful of them."

"Therefore, I also want to spread the Taoism Cultivation Civilization so that people of Earth won’t be so fragile, won’t be so powerless in the face of some disasters, won’t die so easily. The simultaneous development of both civilizations, I believe, will lead Earth to a different realm. This is my original intention, my idea, and could be considered my great aspiration."

Yu Lingtian listened attentively and was full of admiration for Tangyu, nodding heavily: "Tangyu, at this moment, I really don’t know what to say. Your greatness truly leaves me in awe. Your spirit, I have to admit, I can’t match. This is you, the one and only you, no wonder you can make countless people like, adore, and idolize you. You indeed have such personal charm. Anyone who interacts with you can’t help but be conquered by your charisma."

"I, Yu Lingtian, have never admired anyone in this life, but you, Tangyu, truly make me admire you wholeheartedly. A new era, just thinking about it is exciting. I believe your great aspiration will surely be realized. Because I now have a very strong premonition. The spread of Taoism Cultivation Civilization will surely be very successful. A new time will soon arrive. And you, Tangyu, are the creator of this new era. Everyone will cherish you."

"Such a thing, I never dared to imagine before. I never thought it would one day become a reality."

"The world is full of endless unknowns. No matter how skilled a scientist is, they can only scratch the surface in a lifetime of research. You’re right, we humans possess wisdom, but we are too weak. Technological civilization, though great, is likewise as great as the Taoism Cultivation Civilization. A single civilization is not enough to make us truly powerful. Only by adding the Taoism Cultivation Civilization will we become truly powerful. I believe everyone will think the same as me because this is the truth, an irrefutable truth."

Tangyu smiled. Every conversation with Yu Lingtian was quite pleasant, like sharing drinks with a kindred spirit. Talking with someone who understands is indeed a delightful thing.

After chatting for a while longer, Yu Lingtian stood up to say goodbye: "Tangyu, talking with you this time has given me new insights, new thoughts, and new expectations for this world. What do you need me to do about this? Or, how do you need us to proceed?"

Tangyu said, "What I need is quite simple. You just need to handle the direction of public opinion well. Everything else, when the time is right, I will prepare to launch the Taoism Cultivation Civilization. But for now, there are still some small troubles to resolve. I must solve all these small troubles. The direction of public opinion is very important; this is your task. How to make the Taoism Cultivation Civilization public, how to guide this subject from your standpoint, and how to prepare for the launch of the Taoism Cultivation Civilization beforehand."

"I believe that you all will consider this work more thoroughly and practically than I will. So, just handle it as you see fit. Let me know when you need my cooperation."

Yu Lingtian nodded: "Okay, I understand. With your words, I’m reassured. We’ll take care of these matters and will handle them as quickly as possible. The thought of it still excites and anticipates me. A new era is about to arrive. I don’t know what kind of excitement I’ll feel to welcome this era, but I believe it will be sacred, perhaps even a new epoch, forever written into history."

Tangyu smirked and smiled; he didn’t care much about these things.

He wants to spread the Taoism Cultivation Civilization because he loves Earth, loves this home. Furthermore, Master Ghost Doctor, Lin Feifei, and the others will definitely choose to live on Earth in the future, rather than in the Cultivation World. Having spent more than four years in the Cultivation World, Tangyu actually doesn’t have much fondness for it. The constant fighting, the law of the jungle, the rule of power, and deceitful ways make Tangyu internally dislike such an environment. It’s just that the Cultivation World allows for better cultivation.

When it comes to living, although life on Earth is a bit mundane, isn’t simplicity itself a kind of happiness?
