Ling Zhenfei asked, "Respected elder, there's something I don't understand. Are there more people entering the Foreign Land Space now than before? Have cultivators really decreased in number nowadays?"
The old man replied, "Cultivators have not decreased at all; it's merely an illusion that leads to such an analysis.
Cultivators have always been the pride of heaven. Whether today or in ancient times, they were never something seen openly."
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei understood. Indeed, he always believed there were more cultivators in ancient times and fewer now.
Yet he hadn't seen any records about cultivation in ancient literature.
The records passed down were always categorized as myths or unofficial histories. Perhaps, just as now, few people knew about cultivation back then too.
Ling Zhenfei bowed deeply to the elder and said, "Listening to the elder has finally cleared the doubts that troubled my mind."
