Chapter 176 – A New Era Comes
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the first day of the new year, almost simultaneously, the governments of the major countries around the world announced the existence of the world of Cultivators to the public and began to promote cultivation within their populace.
The entire world had taken a step into a whole new age of cultivation.
Everyone eagerly anticipated becoming a Cultivator.
The Huaxia government also published a skill manual teaching the basics of cultivation on their official website. It came with extremely detailed illustrations explaining cultivation and was free to download.
In an instant, the whole nation fell into the cultivation craze.
Lu Xuan also took a look at the basic cultivation skill manual and found that it was indeed a very basic cultivation skill manual.
Those who managed to cultivate their inner qi and start on the path of cultivation by following this guide would probably have to be fairly talented in the first place.
Lu Xuan clearly knew what the government was planning. First of all, the Huaxia government did not have the ability to truly enable all its citizens to begin cultivation. After all, resources were limited, and it was unsustainable for everyone to be a Cultivator.
If one had no power, no authority, and no money, and did not even have talent, one would naturally be excluded from cultivation.
Of course, this did not mean that it was impossible for ordinary people to cultivate, but they probably had to wait for the next revival of spirit qi, and try again when the spirit qi was denser.
With each instance of spirit qi reviving, the density of spirit qi in the world would increase to a point where an average person could begin cultivation.
Still, the first movers who became Cultivators ahead of everyone else would have a dominant advantage in the future age.
Secondly, the government was also using this method to screen those people who were talented, so they could train them under their wing and take firm control over the largest group of Cultivators.
Even Lu Shanshan was saying that her school recently began promoting the cultivation skill manual. Those who could cultivate Spiritual Qi were eligible for subsidies from the government, and it was not like before, where people who awakened their talents were abducted.
There were simply too many people to take all of them away.
Following Lu Xuan’s orders, Lu Shanshan did not reveal her strong cultivation and was treated as an ordinary person. Even so, she was remarkable within her school population.
This is because, in her entire school, only a couple of dozen people were able to cultivate Spiritual Qi.
At this stage, with such a simple skill manual, those who could cultivate Spiritual Qi were undoubtedly budding talents in cultivation.
There were even various organizations coming into the school to promote themselves, trying to convince them to join their companies, and even offering them a salary while they were still schooling.
This was under the condition that the student joined their company to work for them after graduating.
Among Lu Shanshan’s schoolmates, there were many who had already signed contracts with these different organizations.
Lu Xuan knew that these kinds of situations would become more and more commonplace. These Cultivators were like university graduates in the early days, highly demanded and treated like high-end elite talents wherever they went.
Even his father, Lu Tianxiang, and mother, Liu Wanrong, had people from the government coming to their workplaces to promote cultivation.
The government had held back for so many years, secretly accumulating and training talents, and now they were finally showing their hand.
Among all the countries of the world, Huaxia was the most successful in its campaign to promote cultivation, and it did not go as well in other countries.
Still, this time, the governments of the world were very seriously promoting cultivation. Ever since the monsters emerged, everyone came to realize that wars would not just be waged between countries in the future, but there would be more conflicts between mankind and the monsters.
These would even be life and death conflicts.
If they did not promote cultivation, when those monsters continued to grow more monstrous and get stronger, they feared that they would all die at the monsters’ hands. Their lands would also become the playground for monsters.
During this period of time, Lu Xuan continued to stay in the Yunxuan Villa without leaving the house, fully focused on guiding his family in their cultivation.
With the alkahestry pills Lu Xuan took from the cave abode of the legendary swordsman, and the guidance from a top tier master like Lu Xuan, the number of masters living in the Yunxuan Villa increased all at once.
Among them, his mother, Liu Wanrong, showed the fastest improvement, already reaching the Invincible Vajra Level. Her growth was even faster than Zhang Hongyang.
Besides her, Zhang Hongyang, Yang Chengsi, Shi Danze, and Ding Zhuxuan had also successively entered the Invincible Vajra Level.
Looking in from the outside world, this would be an extremely rare sight. Invincible Vajra Level masters, who could be the patriarch of any faction elsewhere, could be said to be a dime a dozen in the Yunxuan Villa.
Even his father, Lu Tianxiang, and younger sister, Lu Shanshan, had inconspicuously reached a Divine Level of cultivation and were not far from the Invincible Vajra level. Even Lu Tianxiang’s originally sparse hair had begun to grow thick again.
This was also Lu Tianxiang’s greatest motivation for cultivating. Initially, he was unable to maintain certain hairstyles due to his thinning hair, but now he could style his hair in any way he wanted.
If this information got out, all the balding people around the world would probably rush to make cultivation their number one priority. One only knew the horrors of balding when reaching the middle of one’s life.
Even his little sister Lu Guoguo managed to reach a National Guardian Level of cultivation while playing around. This cultivation speed left even the rabbit Megatron scared stiff.
In the beginning, this rabbit still held on to a lot of its pride as a king of monsters. Even though it had submitted to Lu Xuan, in terms of cultivation, it should still have been the second strongest after Lu Xuan in the entire villa.
Who could expect that in a short time, a group of Invincible Vajras would actually appear in the Yunxuan Villa.
It must be pointed out that presently in the outside world, the title of Invincible Vajra was synonymous with being the strongest in the world.
Just by looking at the damage the White Ape King caused, leaving tens of thousands of people dead, one could imagine just how fearsome the destructive power of an Invincible Vajra master was.
Currently, here in this villa, even the person guarding the door could be an Invincible Vajra Level master. In this place, the rabbit did not feel a sense of superiority at all, despite being a king of monsters.
In this place, among these freaks, it was just a very ordinary rabbit. It might not even be able to defeat the second sister Lu Shanshan even if she was just a Divine level.
Even more terrifyingly, it discovered that this might be because of the suppression by the world. If the environment of the world allowed it, this place might be spitting out a pack of freakishly strong masters.
And the one who had created these abnormally strong masters was none other than Lu Xuan!
It still had no idea what Lu Xuan’s background was. In the long time since it had come to Yunxuan Villa, it still had seen no sign of Lu Xuan’s sect.
This caused it to grow even more awed by Lu Xuan.
With a group of masters holding the fort in the villa, Lu Xuan also felt more at ease, and naturally no longer needed to keep watch at all times. With this group of powerful masters, unless they were bombed with nuclear weapons, it was basically improbable that any attack would defeat them.
This was especially so after Lu Xuan placed the sword jade in the core area of the Yunxuan Villa. The sword formation merged into one with the maze formation that Chu Yunfan had laid down, and the defensive systems of the entire Yunxuan Villa were starting to take up its initial shape.
With the protection of this sword formation, even an elite army of thirty or fifty thousand would end up all dead if they attacked.
This kind of defense could essentially be said to be as steady as a mountain.
