Epilogue: A Century Later

Blue Star World. Water Tide City, New White River City. This was a new city established after the "Salvation War". It was rebuilt with the ruins of White River City as the center. Although it is called a new city, in fact, this city has a history of more than a hundred years. White River was also the story of several great figures. The story is long, and New White River City is vast. Its magnificence is not much different from the main city of Water Tide. These two grand cities were also called the most brilliant twin stars on the mainland. Inside White River City, there are high-rise buildings that are hundreds of feet tall, and avenues that traverse the sky, as well as ancient and elegant pavilions and towers, and islands that hang high in the sky, pouring down like a waterfall. Compared to the old White River City preserved at the beginning of the new era, New White River can be said to be different everywhere, except that a small number of old White River ruins were also carved when the city was built. But in today's rapidly developing new era, some things are not much different from a hundred years ago. That is the inheritance of mankind. The inheritance called the college entrance examination. New White River City, White River No. 1 Middle School. "Classmates, there are only 100 days left before the college entrance examination. In the next period of time, the teacher will have stricter requirements for you. This is the final sprint. Whether it is classmates who are preparing to apply for martial arts universities or apply for ordinary universities, you must seize the time for the final sprint. Only in this way can you have a more brilliant future." On the podium, the stern class leader had a solemn expression and exuded a not-so-weak aura. Although he was only a class leader in a key middle school, he also had the realm of the sixth sense. In the classroom, under the aura of the old class leader, the nearly forty students present were exceptionally well-behaved, and each of them was a cultivator. In the new era, the Blue Star people are like dragons, and everyone can awaken. "The teacher knows that many classmates are preparing to sprint to martial arts universities. It's good to have this belief, but the cultural courses of martial arts universities cannot be dropped." "Wang Lei, tell me about the origin of the cultivation method." "Yes!" A classmate with a strong physique immediately stood up and said without thinking, "The cultivation method was first created by the Fang Dao Master. It is a cultivation method that integrates boxing, swordsmanship, and footwork, and has the effect of strengthening the body and improving the brain. This is only the first generation of basic cultivation methods. Later, after continuous improvement and perfection by the Fang Dao Master and several other great figures, the second, third, and fourth generations of cultivation methods were born within a few years. However, since the beginning of the new era, the martial arts department has gradually improved new cultivation methods according to the needs of the new era. To this day, the cultivation method we practice is the thirteenth generation method." "The thirteenth generation cultivation method includes..." "Not bad." The class leader nodded, "The new era is not easy to come by. Classmates should cherish it more and don't waste the peaceful era created by our ancestors." History, characters, cultivation methods, and era are all essential content for the college entrance examination in the humanities. And the cultivation method pushed to the thirteenth generation also has a big difference from the first few generations. The most fundamental difference is in the system. Under the mysterious system, awakened people need to absorb mysterious factors and undergo repeated awakening and sublimation until they transform themselves into legends. The characteristic of this system is speed. As long as the internal pollution of the body is sufficiently cleared, it can rapidly improve its strength. But there are also shortcomings. Any awakening under the mysterious system requires facing life and death. Cultivation methods were born in this environment. Awakened people who practice cultivation methods can be more at ease when breaking through the realm and can save their lives even if the awakening fails. However, in the new era, it is almost impossible to find a black fog area on the Blue Star. Mysterious factors are also very rare. After a hundred years of development and evolution, cultivation methods have also been promoted with new methods, evolving from "semi-mysterious and semi-martial arts" towards "full martial arts." The current mainstream cultivation method is to accumulate qi and blood. Once the accumulation reaches a certain level, it can break through the bottleneck and achieve the effect of cleansing bones and strengthening the marrow, improving the lifespan. Similarly, after seven sublimations, one can enter the realm of legend. Compared to the mysterious era, martial arts cultivation in the new era requires more steady progress, and it is not as convenient as directly absorbing mysterious factors to break through. However, the safety is higher and it is more suitable for popularization. In the past, awakeners needed the help of the awakening ground to break through. Now, martial artists only need to accumulate enough to break through the realm on their own. Even if the breakthrough fails, it only causes some injuries. Of course, there are also some breakthrough assisting pills. "To be admitted to the martial arts university, the three senses must be filled, and only after cultivating to the human realm can one be admitted stably... There are still three months left, can I break through to the fourth sense?" "Hahahaha, my father has prepared a breakthrough elixir for me. Breaking through to the fourth sense before the college entrance examination is not a problem." "It is said that Luo Geng has already reached the sixth sense, and he can likely be admitted to our Blue Star martial arts famous school." "Has no one applied for the Star Fire University? That is the number one martial arts university." "When our cultivation is successful, we will go to the Fog Zone to hunt demons and learn from the spirit of the predecessors." Young students are full of longing for the future. This is the best era, where everyone is like a dragon and everyone has unlimited potential. In the distance, on the rooftop of a teaching building, a man in a black coat leaned against the railing, facing the wind. A smile appeared on his stern face. He was the Black Saber. He had resigned from the position of chief teacher and lived in New White River City as an ordinary person. However, the Black Saber could not get out of it and was still serving as a martial arts teacher in White River No. 1 Middle School. He enjoyed watching the students develop. "This is the era you have been looking forward to." "It's just..." "Alas, when can we meet again?" The Black Saber looked at the blue sky and white clouds, lost in thought. ... Blue Star World, Water Tide City, the magnificent Memorial Stone stood tall in the land, with names engraved on it one by one. There was no inscription of "Instructor Two." Although many people regarded the instructor as their embodiment and killed the Red Moon, a few people, including An Jianmeng, firmly believed that the instructor was still alive, and he would not fall like this! "Instructor..." A hundred years ago, An Jianmeng's appearance did not change, and she was still like a young girl of more than ten years old, but she appeared more mature. She looked at the memorial stone and choked up, mourning the fallen warriors. Beside her was An Jianmeng, wearing a knitted sweater of goose-yellow and dark blue sleeves. She placed a fresh flower in front of the memorial stone, mourning the warriors who were sacrificed. War is the most cruel. What's more, it was a war of salvation launched by human power against demonic forces. In the great war, the number of demon hunters was also not small. Among them, An Jianmeng had a very familiar comrade-in-arms. An Ying was ambushed by a demon spy and her entire body was shattered, leaving only a head... If it weren't for her ten thousand-year cultivation reaching the profound level, she could have slowly recovered with just a head. She would have died in battle. Shangguan Ling'er was also like this. A familiar face appeared in front of her eyes. An Jianmeng did not suffer too much damage. "When I wield greater authority, perhaps I can revive you." She was confident about this. The Demon King fell, and the world was finally at peace. Everyone shed tears of joy and cherished this hard-won peace. "But some old people, I don't know what they are thinking, actually want to restart the era of divine rule. Maybe they think that Instructor, you have already fallen, and we people are also seriously injured and dying." "Later, these old people were publicly executed. We didn't even take action." She said these things and recounted the developments and changes of these years to the instructor. "Black Saber has resigned from the position of chief teacher, but he has been silently paying attention to the demon fire." "An Jianmeng has made several moves and killed many high-level demon spies, shocking some people... Her reputation is now very dazzling." "Wu Ling also resigned from his position, but he often fights with old people and says that he wants to hold the first martial arts event in the universe... This proposal has received strong support from Bu La Niang, and I think it is feasible. It can promote everyone's growth. What do you think, Instructor?" "Silver Bell is still in office, but she has handed over all her work to Xu Jie and doesn't know where she's gone." "Xiao Yue Ming is a bit uncomfortable with the peaceful environment and often enters the black fog area alone... Her safety is not a concern, but if Instructor, you were there, you could guide her." "Instructor, when will you come back?" She choked, speaking a lot of words, and also recounted some trivial matters of Guishenger and others. She covered her mouth and smiled, and her eyes twinkled with a faint light. It has been a hundred years. Instructor... Her eyes, like a vast lake, suddenly rippled with layers of waves, An Jianmeng looked into the distance, and saw a figure in the sea of colorful clouds. It was at the place where the fire was burning. She rubbed her eyes. Disbelief, shock, excitement, joy, and sorrow. She opened her mouth and said in a relatively calm voice, "Instructor, welcome back." Fang Ye's eyes were filled with the ebb and flow of time. That was nine lifetimes, nine reincarnations, and meeting and parting again and again. All returned to one. He looked at the woman in front of him, took a deep breath, and smiled. "Yes, I'm back."
