Chapter 249: The Same Culture and Martial Arts
Looking at the aggressive Qiu Ge, Bai Tian was very curious: "I want to know where this place is. And why do you reject Taoists?"
Qiu Ge’s face turned dark, and he had a look that said, “You don’t understand.”
The people around them were not as hostile. A woman was the first to speak up, "We are from the Feilai Tribe, and we are within the territory of Black Sky City."
Qiu Ge wiped off a bit of helplessness, put down the spear, and said in a low voice: "It's not that we reject Taoists, but we feel that cultivation is not as good as physical training."
"Tianfa?" Bai Tian was even more puzzled. "Can you describe the Taifa you're talking about in detail?"
Brother Qiu took a deep breath and patiently explained, "The physical method is a cultivation method created by the Jiuli tribe. It is based on body tempering and is different from the cultivation method taught in Yancheng."
"Although the physical skills improve slowly, the combat effectiveness is stronger, making it more suitable for the tribe to resist ferocious beasts..."
Bai Tian's heart skipped a beat. "You mean, the Jiuli tribe?"
"Yes." Qiu Ge nodded affirmatively, "The Jiuli tribe once passed by us. Their leader was called Chi You."
The person next to him immediately interrupted and said, "Chi You is very powerful. He created the physical method by himself. Although he can't fly, his strength is very strong. He is much more powerful than you Taoists!"
"Yes, there are about a hundred people in the Jiuli tribe, and each of them is very powerful. After they came to us, they taught us the physical method. Chi You also said that he would make everyone who didn't want to practice physical method learn it."
Bai Tian was stunned when he heard that Chi You actually came to the vicinity of Heitian City, and he actually created a martial arts method belonging to their Jiuli tribe!
This kid can do it!
But why does this body method seem to be in the exact opposite direction to what Ji Xuan said?
I only heard Brother Qiu say in a low voice: "In fact, the foundation of physical law is also cultivation, but the method of cultivation is different. Physical law focuses more on forging the body. Chi You's original words are, use the body as strength. We believe that Chi You's direction is correct."
"Our tribe has finally changed its direction. I don't want you to preach to our tribe again."
He is a sincere person.
Bai Tian smiled and said, "You're mistaken. I'm really just lost. I didn't come here to preach. And I think your direction is correct."
"There are many different types of cultivation. Some people may be suited to previous methods, while others may be suited to physical methods. As long as I can become stronger, I don't care what method it is."
This made Qiu Ge's brows light up immediately: "I thought so too. I thought you Taoists would really dislike us thinking this way."
Bai Tian laughed. He was not that stingy, and he believed that the Taoist sect would not be that stingy either!
Bai Tian changed the subject: "You just said that this is the territory of Black Sky City, so why didn't you go to Black Sky City?"
Qiu Ge smiled bitterly, "How can Black Sky City accommodate so many people? Many years ago, Black Sky City stopped allowing outside tribes to enter. Oh, not really. You can come and go freely, but you can't live there. There are too many people."
"But if the tribes near us want to practice anything, they can go to Black Sky City to ask for it. Then they can go to Black Sky City to trade and exchange meat for other things."
"Our Feilai tribe provides some prey to Black Sky City every year. If we encounter any trouble, we can run to Black Sky City to hide, and Black Sky City will come to help us."
This is a good idea!
Black Sky City couldn't expand indefinitely, and an overly dense population wasn't necessarily a good thing. This "tribute" approach to seeking protection seemed acceptable.
Bai Tian asked, "Who is the Lord of Black Sky City now?"
"It's Jiang Lie. He has reached the Dingtian realm." A young man answered.
Jiang Lie, he never stopped talking. But since his surname is Jiang, he must be a descendant of the Lieshan tribe...
Qiu Ge added, "But the most prestigious person in Black Sky City should be the old War King Bai Suo. I heard that the old War King is almost eighty years old."
Bai Tian's heart skipped a beat. "You mean, Bai Suo?"
A group of young people became extremely excited and chattered non-stop.
"Yes, Bai Suo, he is the most powerful War King in Black Sky City. I heard them say that Black Sky City was almost gone back then, and it was the old War King who chopped Black Sky City back together with a machete."
"I also heard that the old war king came from Yancheng. He once killed a hundred people by himself..."
"What about a hundred or a thousand people? The old war king rushed into the city with a big knife and killed all the disobedient people by himself..."
I was completely stunned when I heard this during the day. How could Bai Suo survive so well?!
It's incredible that he is still alive after all these years.
But from what they said, Bai Suo was probably around eighty years old. By that calculation, it had been fifty or sixty years since he left Yancheng.
It's amazing that Bai Suo is still alive. Could it be that cultivation can extend human life?
If that's the case, then Fuxi, Dijun, and the others might also be alive. At least, there's a chance that Donghuang is still alive...
During the day, he chatted with Qiu Ge and others for a while and got a lot of information. Then he left in the direction of Heitian City.
As we got closer to Black Sky City, we discovered during the day that there were many tribes nearby, and most of the people in these tribes had already learned to practice.
This made Bai Tian feel deeply moved. It had only been a hundred years since humans began exploring and practicing cultivation, and now cultivation had already spread. It was really not easy.
The most challenging thing was that the surrounding tribes all spoke Cantonese. Although some tribes had different accents, they were still able to communicate in a simple way.
Integrating both culture and military power is truly a huge and remarkable project!
Of course, Bai Tian always felt that all this was due to the efforts of Fuxi and Dijun. He had done nothing these past few years, just wasting time...
As more and more people showed up and it became difficult to fly during the day, he chose to walk.
Whenever we encountered a tribe, we would approach them and communicate with them during the day.
During the day, we discovered a very interesting phenomenon: these tribes seemed to believe in physical magic, and they all said they had seen Chiyou's team.
Is this kid Chi You determined to make everyone learn the physical method?
Of course, Bai Tian also discovered many problems. For example, Bai Tian discovered that despite decades of cultivation, humans still couldn't change the phenomenon of hunting.
People still need to eat meat and are still vulnerable to attacks by wild beasts. However, after practicing, the amount of meat consumed seems to have decreased.
In other words, up to now, the Lieshan tribe has not been able to develop elixirs.
But didn’t Jiang Shui say back then that he had already started researching a soup recipe that would allow people to stop eating?
Also, I haven't seen anyone mention the heavenly stone, or the spirit stone, etc.
Could it be that because the giant beast often devours the space channel that produces spirit stones, humans have no spirit stones to use?
I also received some bad news during the day: many people are saying that the old War King Bai Suo died recently...
