40,000 Years of Cultivation

Just when hundreds of "hidden dragons" were deeply shocked by Li Yao's amazing performance, Li Yao also had a cold sweat, and his heart was overwhelmed.

He is taking the final exam in the Great Wilderness Battle.net.

What made him ooze cold sweat was not that the exam was too difficult, but-it was too easy!

The course he took was called "On Chivalry".

It sounds like a big and improper course with a series of words. Just say a few words, "We are all decent and upright, of course we must draw our swords when we see injustices", "The blood of the strong must be shed for the weak", and "Everyone outside the evil spirit And slogans like "Zhuzhi" can be passed.

And it is indeed written in the textbook.

Even half of the exams are about the same content, and they are all scores.

However, the passing rate of this course is only 32%!

"It shouldn't be. If you can pass by just saying some bold words, everyone should pass 100%. There will always be no one who can't even say such things as "the road sees injustices and draws a knife to help"? Why is there only 32% of them? passing rate?"

Li Yao answered, thinking quickly in his heart.

Fortunately, there is a lot of time left, and he can think about the answer slowly.

The test of "On Chivalry" is a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, righteous and awe-inspiring middle-aged cultivator. He is also condensed from countless spiritual thoughts. At first glance, he looks like the most standard heroic look. It is especially old-fashioned. To kill three or five evil demons outside the kind.

He seemed to be very satisfied with Li Yao’s previous answer, nodded repeatedly, and concluded: "Okay, okay, what you said is very good. The reason why we in the righteous way want to help the weak and defend justice is precisely because we are brave and brave. Enthusiastic, right?"

Li Yao was about to nod, his heart jumped wildly, and he blurted out: "This is just one!"

"Oh?"

This "hero" was very surprised, "What about the second?"

"The reason why we have to protect the strong and support the weak, uphold justice, even at the expense of our lives, is because upholding justice is good for us!"

Li Yao cleared his thoughts and answered quickly.

"What's the benefit?" The hero asked with a gleam in his eyes.

"What is justice? In my opinion, justice is social order and the law of civilization! Under the existing social order, we cultivators are all vested interests and enjoy the greatest benefits of this order. Of course We need to maintain it!"

"Vested interests? Explain!"

The hero narrowed his smile, expressionless, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Li Yao's not talking about good and evil, but only about benefits.

Li Yao said in a word, that the arrow was on the string and he had to send it.

"In the current social order run by the Star Federation, we practitioners are elites from all walks of life. Regardless of their reputation, status, or income, they are much higher than ordinary people, and ordinary people respect them from the bottom of their hearts. We are eager to become cultivators. Throughout the ages, this is the most suitable social order for cultivators. No matter who wants to break this social order, we certainly can’t let him succeed, but treat him as an evil demon. Beheading-this is justice!"

"In the ancient cultivating world 40,000 years ago, we were equally lofty and respected, but we have never heard of how many ancient cultivators sacrificed for the weak!" The hero sneered.

"No, ordinary people in the ancient cultivator world were just afraid of cultivators, but they couldn't talk about the slightest respect. Moreover, the cultivators in the ancient world of cultivators were far less comfortable than the modern ones!"

Li Yao plucked up his courage and said loudly, "Take me as an example. I am just a low-level cultivator who has just entered the realm of cultivation. If I were in ancient times, I would be called as a slave by high-level cultivators. Drink it, once I emerge, or get the treasures of heaven and earth, I must always guard against others to kill and win the treasures, and among my peers, there are also intrigues. Everyone wants to step on others' heads to climb up and poke three times behind you. The knife will definitely not only stabbed twice. On such a day of fear, eating is not good, sleeping is not deep, and even the feces are not easy to pull. Why should you cultivate?"

"Modern is different. Now civilization has progressed. During such a small period of qi refining, I can study the mystical and mysterious Dao of True Self at the highest institution in the country at ease, even if I have acquired some amazing skills and treasures. , No one dares to blatantly kill people and win treasures, whoever dares to try is to be an enemy of the entire Federation!"

"Under this environment, I can practice boldly and confidently, and my efficiency will increase more than a hundredfold! Of course it is good to be a high-level cultivator in the end. Even if I can't become a high-level cultivator, my life is a period of qi refining, that doesn’t matter. After I go out of society, it’s okay. , You can still find a good job and live a life of fun."

"You said, is the social order that allows me to be so free, is it worth my defense?"

The hero said calmly: "You’re right, but we can also divide society into two parts. Among the cultivators, we focus on morality, law, and justice, and for ordinary people like ants, Squeeze them as slaves, force them to collect resources, create wealth, and enjoy them for us. This kind of social order also allows you to live comfortably without taking the slightest responsibility. Isn't it better?

"Not good, not good at all, not to mention that slavery and feudal systems are inefficient and cannot adapt to advanced cultivation civilization. More importantly, we still have one of our biggest competitors, demons! Ordinary people don’t have to. Those who rely on cultivators, in case they really rush people, use blood sacrifices to seduce the demon to come, and thousands of people in the entire town will be demonized. Under the leadership of the demon, they will form a demon army that destroys the world. A cultivator is a cultivating sect, and it can still be swallowed without any residue left!"

"Hey Hey Hey!"

Hearing this, the hero suddenly laughed.

Then the light and shadow all around flashed, turning into a ghastly cave, and the hero also turned into an evil image with disheveled hair and a skull collar hanging around his neck.

"In that case, everyone should tear their skins and cultivate all demons! How good is demonic cultivation, and the thoughtfulness, freewheeling and carefreeness are at the extreme!"

Li Yao blinked and said, "A family of steamed buns has been spreading out for decades and suddenly switched to selling wontons. Can it compete with the century-old wonton shop next to it?"

The hero was stunned, and the condensed minds of countless masters did not respond to this weird question. He said dullly: "What?"

Li Yao explained:

"It's not impossible for us cultivators to transform into demons, but people have been cultivating demons for hundreds of thousands of years, and they have accumulated extremely rich experience. We are beginners, how can we compete with others?"

"It's like buns that have been sold for decades. Seeing that the nearby wonton shop is doing well, I switched to making wontons. Can this compete better? What's more, the business of the wonton shop may not be good! After all, three thousand worlds, The cultivator is still the mainstream, and the cultivator is just the dog of the family!"

The hero pondered for a moment:

"You mean, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog. Those of us who are cultivators are transformed into cultivators, and we are also the worst cultivators. We can't compete with the authentic cultivators at all, and can only be reduced to the bottom of the demon world. ?"

"That’s for sure. Take you as an example. You think that if you have a disheveled hair, a few skeletons around your neck, and then darken the light, you will be a cultivator? How can it be that simple! A cultivator wants to seduce ordinary people. , You look like a ghost, which ordinary person will be tempted by you!"

Li Yao looked at the hero up and down, and shook his head again and again, "Demon cultivators are just what we cultivators call these evil demons. People will definitely not regard themselves as'devil'. I heard that some cultivators even call themselves'immortal cultivators.' And they are walking along the Avenue of True Immortals. Even if they are really cultivating sorcery, their bodies are entangled and their images are hideous and hideous. When they appear in front of ordinary people, they will be transformed into fairy-style bones, radiant and colorful. This It's easy to start!"

The hero was silent.

The candlelight in the depths of the cave flickered, dragging the shadows of the two people very long.

Li Yao's heart throbbed.

What he said just now was completely an on-the-spot reaction, and when he saw the trick, he recalled it and found a lot of omissions.

If the examiner pursues and fights hard, he will definitely be unable to resist it.

After a while, the surrounding environment changed again. They returned to the top of the hill with breezy clouds and fresh air, and the heroes also changed back to their upright and awe-inspiring appearance.

"Congratulations, classmate Li Yao, for this "On Chivalry" course, you... passed it! You got 3 credits!"

Li Yao's heartbeat slowed for a beat, and then he was ecstatic. He almost wanted to go up and hug the hero and make three turns. He blurted out: "I, I really passed? I said the correct answer?"

The hero smiled and shook his head:

"No, everyone has a different understanding of the word chivalry, and the laws of cultivation civilization are even more mysterious. How can there be any correct answers?"

"Some of your statements are shining, but others are arrogant."

"However, what this course is going to test is not the correct answer. It depends on whether you have your own understanding of the word chivalry. As long as you don't follow the script and talk about false things, you can say something. Anyone who speaks out of their hearts can pass."

"It's a pity that too many students only know that according to the book's dogma, saying nonsense such as'to be a chivalry is our duty to be a man of justice', then they have to be brushed down."

"As for how to understand the real chivalrous word, how can you and I be able to say it clearly in one or two sentences? Fortunately, you have a lifetime to find out. I hope that one day you can find your own answer."

"Come on, classmate Li Yao!"

The illusion shattered, and Li Yao retreated to the main interface of the Great Wilderness Battle.net.

Three golden diamond-shaped crystals whizzed from the sky and quickly submerged into his body.

There was a clear and sweet female voice in my mind:

"Freshman Li Yao, passed the "On Chivalry" exam, obtained 3 credits, accumulated 207 credits, and ranked first in the freshmen list...!"
