Chapter 5 Future Version—Cultivation Exercises

Realizing that the strange world in the dream was very likely to be the future, Feng Qi fell into deep thought. “If the world in the dream is the future, does that mean that Star City will fall one day in the future and be completely covered by a domain field?” Thinking of the desolate scene outside the shelter, Feng Qi’s expression gradually became solemn. “I don’t believe it!” In order to verify this guess, he opened the history database of Star City and tried to find the answer. However, what he saw next made him feel terrible. According to the records, about 500 years ago, all the cities were covered by the domain fields. The surviving humans could only dig shelters inside the domain fields and be resigned to the circumstances, but they ultimately walked towards extinction. After reading the information recorded in the database, Feng Qi was in disbelief. [Seeing the tragic ending of mankind in the future, you couldn’t help but clench your fists, clench your teeth, and you roared in your heart: I want to change the future and rewrite the ending of mankind. Mankind will never admit defeat. Aah-ooh!] This time, Feng Qi did not talk back. Instead, he said with a solemn expression, “If I change reality, will the future be changed?” [Every time the butterfly flaps its wings, it will trigger a series of chain reactions. You are as small as a drop of water, but you can also set off huge waves in the river of time.] “I understand!” At this moment, he suddenly understood why the narrator had guided him into the shelter. Clearly, there was something here that could change the future. The large amount of information stored in the database could completely allow him to predict the future and find a lot of useful information. Everything in these information happened in the future, but they were important events that had yet to happen in the real world. At this thought, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Narrator, am I your chosen savior?” [He~pui!] … As expected, the narrator did not disappoint him. It was still so sharp-tongued. Normal people would definitely be shocked or even find it difficult to accept such a situation. They would feel that they were insignificant and could not shoulder such a heavy responsibility. They were not interested in being a savior at all. As long as they were safe, all was fine. However, Feng Qi accepted it calmly. Because at this moment, he thought of something Old Wang had said in class. He said, “I don’t know what will happen to humanity in the future, but I know that no matter what, we humans will not compromise and admit defeat in the face of predicament, adversity, and despair. “Because fighting against adversity is a form of determination engraved in our bones, especially in the people of Xia Country. Such firm mental strength can also be verified in our myths. “In the myths of Xia Country, fire was created by the tenacious friction of people drilling wood for fire. “In the face of apocalyptic floods, Yu the Great thrice passed his house without entering it and resolutely chose to fight against nature. “There were also Hou Yi shooting the suns, Jing Wei filling up the sea, Kuafu chasing the sun… Putting aside those mythological plots, the spiritual core that was promoted was to never give up. “If there is a problem, then solve it, not run away. “Just like the Foolish Old Man who moved the mountains he did not choose to move or give up in the face of the two mountains blocking his door. Instead, he decided to use his life’s efforts, even the efforts of his children and grandchildren, to fight against the mountains. “The future of mankind is at stake, but we must always firmly believe that the future belongs to mankind. Dawn will dispel the darkness!” These words had once made Feng Qi’s blood boil with emotions. And now, there was an opportunity in front of him. “If someone has to come forward, why can’t it be me?” In the blink of an eye, Feng Qi made his decision. He wanted to save humanity and the future. He turned to the screen and began to go through the information in the database. If there was anything that could promote the development of human civilization, technology would definitely be ranked first. However, if there was anything that could help humans defeat the monsters in the domain field, Feng Qi felt that it would definitely be a cultivation technique. Although scientific and technological progress could accelerate social productivity, cultivation techniques could help humans complete the transformation of their life forms. It was like being reborn and becoming stronger than the creatures in the domain field. Modern cultivation techniques had been researched for less than 500 years, so many cultivation techniques still contained flaws. For example, some cultivation techniques would cause irreparable damage to the body; some cultivation techniques would make the cultivator infertile; some cultivation techniques would even shorten the cultivator’s lifespan. After humans mastered how to use Spiritual Qi, new cultivation techniques were constantly developed. Old cultivation techniques were constantly improved and perfected, but they were still far from perfection. He felt that after 1,500 years of development, the cultivation techniques in the database must have been improved many times. They were definitely more complete and outstanding than the cultivation techniques that had only been developed in the real world for 500 years. He could completely start from this aspect. He clicked on the Cultivation Techniques bar in the database, and a series of cultivation technique names immediately appeared. At the same time, a text box popped up on the screen. [Visitor’s authorization: Unable to read cultivation techniques above five stars. Remaining number access cultivation techniques: 1. Remaining number of access to profile information: 2. Remaining access to historical information: 3. If you need to increase access, please log into the account of a resident or administrator.] The dialog box that suddenly popped up caught Feng Qi off guard. “The world has already been destroyed, so why is there still such a dogsh*t restriction? Do they not have the spirit of sharing? Is it because they’re afraid of the information being stolen by domain creatures?” “Narrator, give me an authorized account!” Faced with Feng Qi’s request, the narrator did not respond. Helpless, he could only turn his gaze to the screen. [Red Flame Kill (8th revised version)]: Founder: Wang Yehuo Rating: Two Stars Introduction: After cultivating this cultivation method, one can convert Spiritual Qi in the body into fire-element Spiritual Qi to increase the lethality of the spell. However, the burden on the body will increase and there will be considerable damage to the body during cultivation. Note: Not suitable for adolescents who are still developing their bodies. [Diamond Bone Tempering (13th revised version)]: Founder: Li Wuyi Rating: Three Stars Introduction: A cultivation technique that focuses on body cultivation. After absorbing Spiritual Qi into the body, temper the bones and skin, allowing the strength of the body to be developed. Note: Not suitable for adolescents who are still in the development stage. [272nd set of cultivation exercises – Responsibility of the Era (272nd revised version)]: Founder: Unknown Rating: One Star Introduction: An entry-level cultivation technique that was born in the early days after the World Revolution. It has undergone 271 revisions so far. It has the effect of strengthening the body, tempering the bones, and nourishing the body. Note: Suitable for all ages, but the purity of the Spiritual Qi obtained from cultivation is low, and the effect on the level of the bloodline is poor. … Looking at the cultivation techniques listed on the screen, Feng Qi hesitated because the visitor’s authorization only permitted him one chance to check on cultivation techniques. Feng Qi didn’t understand these cultivation techniques. The only thing he was familiar with was the cultivation exercises. However, the one he had learned was the 68th set of cultivation exercises— Young Eagle of the Era. The one in the database, was the 272nd set and it had undergone more than 200 revisions during this period. In order to compare the effects, Feng Qi finally made his choice. He clicked to open the detailed page of the 272nd set of cultivation exercises—Responsibility of the Era. Immediately, a video popped up on the screen. A dignified man in a military uniform opened his hands and said with a serious expression, “Follow my rhythm and start training… Responsibility of the Era, one two three four, two two three four…” As the background music played, Feng Qi began to follow the man in the video. He spun, jumped, and twisted his limbs. Coupled with his breathing rhythm, he tried to sense the surrounding Spiritual Qi. A few minutes later, dense Spiritual Qi spots appeared in his vision. These Spiritual Qi light spots were slowly absorbed by his body as he moved. Compared to the 68th set, the 272th set was ten times faster at sensing the Spiritual Qi of the universes, and the speed at which it absorbed Spiritual Qi was more than three times faster. This discovery surprised him. At this moment, Feng Qi made a decision to bring this set of exercises back to reality and promote it. He felt that if modern teenagers used this future version as a foundation, it would definitely be of great help to their personal growth. This seemingly simple set of exercises might cause earth-shattering changes in the future 1500 years later under the influence of the butterfly effect. At this thought, Feng Qi felt that he seemed to have found a way for humanity to rise quickly. He wanted modern humans to stand on his shoulders and develop. And he, would stand on the shoulder of the future!
