In ancient times, cultivators lived in peace, far from ordinary people, in secluded abodes and mountains where they silently sought enlightenment.
Their presence was known only to a few. Some witnessed them flying through the skies, altering the terrain, turning barren land into fields of flowers, and summoning wind and rain. These accounts remained stories that few dared to believe—except for the witnesses. Some regarded them as deities, protectors of the land, blessing it with their power.
To the cultivators, this was ideal. They could focus on their quest for immortality without the interference of the outside world. Their sole reason for embarking on the path of cultivation was to gain eternal life—a limitless span of time in which they could achieve nirvana. They called this the True Way of Cultivation.
It was a peaceful existence. War and poverty had no impact on their lives.
