My Bottle Cosmos

Since that move crushed the Demigod of martial arts, his name spread throughout the entire earth, the ruler at the peak of the Martial Path, the Emperor.

After that battle, the earth grew more prosperous, countless people pursued higher Martial Arts Secret Manuals.

Some said, "The Emperor, with his frail body, due to practicing countless martial arts that conflicted with each other, led to a debilitated physique, opting for technique over strength!"

People sighed at his purity, to sacrifice to the extent of pursuing the pinnacle of technique, driven to madness, almost dead, his strength exhausted, the Celestial Human Five Declines, who could achieve this?

The Emperor was no ordinary person.

He was a pioneer of a great era.

Even without being driven mad, practicing hundreds or thousands of martial arts simultaneously, he could still "subdue others with strength," yet he chose this path of self-destruction.

Of course, some felt complex emotions, both admiration and relief.

Admiration for his pursuit of Martial Arts.

Relief that he chose a path of death, otherwise, he would have continuously stifled them.

Finally, the era erupted.

"The essence of the Martial Path is martial arts!"

Someone began to shout, "Outside of martial arts, all is impure!"

"Do you think it was truly a Giant challenging the Emperor? No! You are wrong; it was strength challenging martial arts, the confrontation between the Power Sect and the Technique Sect!"

"The way of martial arts is the pinnacle of technique!"

"The Emperor walked on the path of martial arts all his life, without rest day or night, the pinnacle of technique; we should be proud of him!"

"Your purity is too low."

"Previously, what did we do? We researched nothing, just frantically pushed realms, competing for speed, on a misguided path."

People began to turn from strength to pursue technique.

Realm was no longer absolute.

Even more so, some martial arts fanatics sat on mountain peaks, focusing intently on developing a Martial Arts Secret Manual, neglecting food and drink, retreating in seclusion day and night.

Gradually, many people secluded themselves.

In front of twelve Martial Arts Holy Steles, formed a "Martial Arts Peak," where numerous strong figures could be seen comprehending Martial Arts Secret Manuals.

In this era, although the chaotic era of coexistence of Ten Thousand Races was over, in reality, Ten Thousand Races still existed.

The different races of the past, in reality, still existed.

However, "bloodlines" turned into "secret manuals."

A "Martial Arts Secret Manual" could be seen as a race; practicing it would make one the people of that race.

At the same time, as if the Creation Gods existed, new "Martial Arts Secret Manuals" frequently emerged, equivalent to birthing new powerful races.

The Martial Path is a grand framework, encompassing all!

Gradually, Jianghu saw the rise of various universally foundational martial arts, various beginner techniques.

And various advanced Supreme Ultimate Techniques, heaven-defying Ultimate Techniques.

Such as "Eternal Life and Death Nine Profound Skills," "Chanhua Thousand Arms Flower-Picking Finger," "Abnormal Fire Technique" and other advanced mystical world Supreme Martial Arts; when practiced to the peak, one could reach Demigod, almost invincible in the same realm...

Yet kept secret, directly passed down within families, beginning to spread among various races.

The Li Family of Central State, the Southern Zizhui Family, gradually began to form foundations, this Martial Arts World hasn't existed for a thousand years, yet it is already on the path to becoming a millennia-old Noble Family.

As long as they are not destroyed, surviving ten thousand years is ordinary.

Of course, there are also sect and family traitors, attacking the direct lineage, stealing martial arts, wanted by the world, forming a wanted list.

Additionally, various weapons began to flourish.

Infused with Spiritual Qi, nurturing the soul, forming various Divine Weapons.

Some began to speculate about the future:

"In the future, an ancient noble family must possess an ancient Sacred Weapon, a Divine Artifact to suppress the family, to remain immortal!"

Hence, another Celestial Secret Pavilion emerged.

Among them, listing the Celestial Pride List, Holy Artifact List, Demigod List...

Martial God Calendar, six hundred years.

Civilization began to explode.

Legendary Martial Saints have become elders of major sects; such existences, their souls can leave the body, very difficult to kill.

But these elders, possessing profound martial arts, taking disciples out to gain experience, often encountered ambushes.

And the martial arts Demigod, already the pinnacle of a sect.

It is almost certain, a sect has only one Demigod, with few exceptions.

However, the era evolved, a strong sect also saw the emergence of various factions.

Some secretly left, forming a new martial arts Demigod, a race with two Demigods, opposing each other, wanting to eliminate the other.

Such as the renowned big family, the Li Family, practicing "Eight Desolates Six Emperors Fist," split into the Li Family of Central State and the Li Family of Southern State, forming two factions; even the secret manual began to change.

Like a race, gradually evolving into branches.

In the same year, in various family small secret realms, always treated as a small world, nurturing some geniuses to break through to Demigod, forming Life Map fragments.

But in a secret realm managed by a family, a genius named Ye Fan appeared, roaring:

"This world is actually false; we Qingqiu Country are being herded, no one can stand above us!"

This genius broke through to Demigod, single-handedly slaughtering through the secret realm, even overturning that medium family, killing the Demigod of the other race.

This news completely exploded everyone; it was a major incident these years.

"Humph, backlash only."

"Having the advantage, yet still losing to a just-broken through, who to blame?"

"This Demigod, if not dead now, will die in the future!"

"Cultivating realm without technique, cannot win against someone at the same level, how to compete in the future for a grand era?"

This subspace land, absorbing surrounding Space Fragments, continuously growing, already larger than Li Qing's three-room one-hall.

This era, every moment was telling various moving stories.

And it was precisely the second year.

People discovered, the Emperor's aura was withering, no longer possessing that terrifying pressure, unfathomable great power.

"How can the Emperor have only ruled for six hundred years? And already withered like this?"

"The Emperor's lifespan may be nearing its end, terminally ill, beyond medicine's aid!"

Many speculated in secret.

The entire noble family was shaken, countless people uneasy.

From his appearance, the Emperor's body was very poor, sickly, walking across the earth, constantly coughing blood, defeating the world in this manner, opening an era.

His handkerchief was always stained with bright red.

Some even felt the aura of a terrifying Sacred Artifact on that handkerchief, hinting at how many baptisms it endured daily.

Yet many people couldn't believe it, that was an invincible being, sweeping the entire world.

How could the era's great pioneer leave so simply?

Could that invincible man who brought the Martial Path only overlook the vast earth for six hundred years?

But some said:

"Although his cultivation of the Celestial Heart Technique was unknown, it embraced all rivers, and he constantly encouraged us to develop strange martial arts and techniques; average people, practicing blindly like this, would have probably died in one or two years."

"Yes, having lived for six hundred years, counting time, indeed lasted long enough! And didn't die from being driven mad!"

Some felt sad, but also relieved at his departure.

But also pondered that life in the world, a millennium of an era, is so short compared to this vast earth's history?

Cultivation is a form of life's evolution.

It is the transformation of civilization, but while civilization may be endless, humans have an end.

On this day, amidst everyone's fervent discussions, a wave of research on longevity techniques unexpectedly surged.

Initially, some longevity ultimate techniques like "Eternal Spring Undying Technique," "Nine Revolutions Celestial Returning Technique," and "Undying Atlas" began to attract attention.

Even the hidden families owning these, with a philosophy of nurturing life and prolonging lifespan, were unexpectedly attacked, exterminated, facing various disasters, with martial arts secret manuals being plundered.

Celestial Secret Pavilion merely commented simply with seven words:

Miserable! Miserable! Miserable! Miserable! Miserable! Miserable! Miserable!

Showing how terrifyingly the entire sect was exterminated, how innocent they were, not intending to compete for world domination, yet unexpectedly left unharmed.

This incident sparked even more discussion among the people.

"In this world, who can achieve immortality? In the end, however astonishing the talents, they are but dust and bones!"

People in the Martial Arts World began to feel scared of death!

How long is the Martial Arts World's Life Map?

At least over a hundred rings!

Which means on this land, at least a thousand Martial Arts Demigods emerged, without repetition.

But how could there be no repetition?

Various families produced abundant Demigods and geniuses; other martial arts must emerge, perhaps resulting in seven to eight thousand Demigods throughout history to be complete.

Calculating closely, their lifespans might be severely insufficient.

Perhaps, they must wait for the next generation, or distant descendants, to succeed.

No one wants to labor for the benefit of future generations; everyone hoped to live from the era opening to the distant future themselves.

"What are these people thinking? They are not dead yet."

Li Qing was still in the mountains, playing Beast Fighting Chess with Sylvie, unable to help but smile and shake his head.
