Reku_Nu_Hax If you would impart your knowledge, I shall be glad to receive.
Do you think it is possible for cultivators to exist in real life?
I hope it is all true. I really hope we can cultivate
Read Chan Buddhism, Zen practices, these are truncated versions of cultivation. And also - Tibetan medicine, acupuncture, these are the remains of knowledge about alchemy.

I feel that the world is empty I feel no connection and very little emotion with everything I have encountered so far (I have been through many troubles despite my age and I may get emotional for a moment but it leaves quickly). This is the reason I watch anime/read novels it is the only thing that provides me with a familiar happiness.
I think in ancient times there were practice ing martial arts they boby would be strong as steel and they could even crush boulders
I am sure that cultivation in the modern world is possible:
- sleep management (Carlos Castaneda)
- breath control (Qigong)
- the exit of the mental entity and its journey (Sri Arubindo Ghosh "Integral Yoga")
- the formation of a magical look - Zen practice and Chan Buddhism (only philosophy and practice)
If you are a good person, you can cultivate your spirit, it can become stronger, I am doing good things, helping the weak, sick, and weak. Stop being greedy, follow the path of enlightenment.
There are many methods and practices in the world that can cultivate muscle strength and spiritual strength, psychological strength.
Probably these techniques are used in rapid reaction forces and special forces.

Yuyumamoru this context is somewhat actually true,
In reality, yes, there are cultivators, even at the present times, cultivation manuals disappeared in the public due to some rules set by ancient times, as what you said, The Era of Discord, it actually happened. Earth was once the most prominent realm in the universe, we are the center of prominence and we hold the power to rule all of the existence, the milky way was called Heavey Prayers of Existence, the Mercury Venus Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus is its vassal state, but something happen, Era of Discord i wont elaborate, but in the history books of the records of the old, it says that the universe was engulfed in a all out war between races, be it the gods or the demons, they all fought for something that will lead them to higher realms though i say earth was the master of the universe at that time, unknown to the people, there existed a realm much higher than we do have, this realm was called by the people Tabulan Realm* fast forward, the earth was sealed from its former glory and all of the universe was sealed or destroyed, tho the scientific community saya that the universe is expanding, the truth is that the universe is repairing its lost prestige. And wanted a comeback.
The good news is, some of the old ancestor from that time and era is still alive, tho hibernating and repairing their spiritual bodies.
Like why cultivation manuals resources was sealed? It is to make the earth ready for the comeback, with the old and knowledgeable gone, who will make good use of the resources.
Theres still cultivators? Yes, though if it is scaled in a 100 million there is only 5-10, depending on a country, this few people are direct lineages from the past, and if u somewhat stumbled upon a manual or eat some fruit (u know what i mean) u better hide it till u have great power.
Additional: there is also weak cultivators who aren't part of the originala *direct lineages, but they're the weakest of the weak, dont feel almighty if u somewhat become powerful. Those direct lineages are deep hidden, not even those weakass cultivators knows of their existence, much less the government.
Is there a cultivator we know of today?
Yes, but those of the direct lineages, nope.
Btw, i am someone above God level. Above past Earth.
Clarification: God is a state, Evil is a state, Demon is a being, Human is a Being.
But somewhat Gods and Demons often get associated with each other, and that is a common mistake humans do.
AyeKennot Kohoho...
I see that another has appeared.
It seems that my attempt has drawn out an esteemed one indeed. Above past Earth you say? Would that not mean that you yourself know the world before? Could you be one of the old ancestors you spoke of or are you of direct lineage?
Excuse my questions for it has been far too long since another has answered. In many months past, there was life here...
Fear not for your identity, as we are all the descendants of the survivors. Though the Era of Discord has passed we must stay vigilant. Thousands of years of cultivation does not matter in the face of history. We must not let our past repeat for I fear, the last pieces of our former glory be forever lost in the vastness of space and time, and us with it.

DaoBart Actually I know they exist and came across some also i am not supposed to say this... but.. they theoretically do exist. I am gonna be vague for certain reasons. They exist.. but differently.. well I might as well reveal some.. you know shaolin monks? it's a type of cultivation. That's all I am gonna say.
I am still learning stage. Correct me if I am wrong. I also suggest you to keep silent and be more careful.

Yuyumamoru worry not, i already initiated the restart of the old ways, and where already in phase 6 out of 15, the planet will undergo vast changes in these coming phases especially phase 7, my identity as a mundane being will not be threatened, tho i am not using most of my powers, but i guarantee you, even a thermal nuclear missile won't t do me any harm.
This actions of mine is of contrary to these direct lineages, i grew tired of boredom and it is part of a will i promised to that man. 
,
AyeKennot Hmmm. It seems that we are both burdened by a promise, although slightly different in my case.
But, be warned friend. Do not let your actions be known to the other realms. As they say, 'the nail that sticks out gets hammered down'. Take caution in phase 7.
This one shall await your results, just as I've watched the decline of cultivators. I hope to see more youths join our ranks soon.
Yuyumamoru Lol... you guys... sigh.. also @AyeKennot...
Mortals don't pay attention to stuff do they?.. Well mortals are mortals after all.
@Yuyumamoru did you bother to search what this Lord has told you?
Pleasedeteme Through your Lordship's teaching, I have received enlightenment. After scanning Buddha's Four Noble Truths and the Three Universal Truths. Though small, I've come to look at the world slightly different. To love oneself is harder than to love another but it may be what I was lacking.
I will not say that the world is no longer dull or numb but, there are at least the pale colors of my own path. Though murky and unsteady, I have started to climb out of my rut and experience something I could call 'life'. Whether it be the small joys of the sun, the smell of fresh rain, or the little moments of bliss, I have learned to accept and cherish. Though the my path is still unclear, I thank the Lordship for being a definitive marker along the way.
It may be that, even these fleeting moments of ours right now will be forgotten in the passing of time but nevertheless, they were valuable.
@Immovable087 I'm happy to see an old username/face! I would've commented on your thread but the number is so perfect right now. A nice even 800.
Yuyumamoru the virus is eating my motivation to write. now i just lurk here and there.

Yuyumamoru Look mortal... Lao Tzu is another example... he sat down on a table with Buddah and another dude. They we're offered the juice of life. Buddah said why would he drink something he wanted to escape so badly? it causes suffering.
The other guy tried a bit and said Buddah was right.
Lao Tzu took the bottle and drunk in one whole gulp. He became drunk and started dancing like a mad man. After he finished he sat down peacefully.
Both the others asked how was it?
Lao Tzu said and I quote : 'I won't say anything as there is nothing to be said'
He criticized Buddah for judging so quickly. And the other guy to just back away from one small sip..
The lesson is not to take things tooo seriously in a way that prevents us to experience life. Not even religion.
Buddah and the other guy were right in their truths and stufd. But Lao Tzu was also right.
So the truth is like a puzzle.. you have to unite it.
That one who shall unite the truths into one... has obtained complete enlightment and truth.. and Freedom and power... all that may lead to a Good life... in here and hereafter.
Also everything you readed?
Yes to OP. But, not in the sense of these silly novels. One must understand that there is tons of radiation on Earth. While this is toxic for normal humans, one out of every million or so has obtained a different type of DNA. While it is risky even for them, their cells can harvest the energy of these toxic substances. Which allows for their bodies to be exposed for a longer amount of time. Now the scary part about radiation is that it can change DNA. And, it's important to note that not all change is bad, most of it is though. But, even amount normal humans, there are cases were being exposed to this helped the human though it is important to note that even in the humans that have had some benefits from random exposure, the overall effects are negative. For example, most of them cannot reproduce.
Cultivators are now learning about how to use radiation to target parts DNA and to unlock the limitless gifts that have been given to us by the genetic loto.
While it is not about overcoming the Heavens, in a way it is about unlocking the heavens.
Acutelittletrap tho technically human dna can be change through scientific engineering, and often if not, they are able to create something that is beneficial, but in majority of these changes are negatives. Tho there are filthy rich individuals researching "Human Genetic Engineering: Through Radiation" 97% die on the spot and the remaning fractions dies later on,. As for the cultivators, yes, some have tried, andl some are still doing it, tho it gives visible changes and visible upgrade to their strength, it is still superficial. But, i'll tell u this, radio active experimentations are not more productive than those fogies experementing on nuclear fission and fusion, i even visited 3 LHC facilities (in secret, just leave it at this forum) they are about to have a breakthrough on the item called Chanelling... If you have sufficient power and money, go buy nuclear silo, go there and research build some damn formation, harness that power.
DaoBart Do you think it is possible for cultivators to exist in real life? Yes! Of course cultivators exist in real life! I'm a cultivator! I grow mango trees, maize plants, cabbages, apple trees and tomatoes! I even have some dairy cows to milk. I don't know about the immortality part, but all my harvest gives me good health and, likewise, a longer lifespan!
Pleasedeteme enlightenment varies on ur own perspective, one can attain the enlightenment to become evil or good, but in reaching the apex, one needs to be understanding, in truth, there is no true good nor evil, it is the understanding and perspective that defines the quality of a being... (I quote: Who judge good from evil if the perspective is bias? God? Which God?)
Tho i say about perspective, the definition is also of truth, there is no 1 truth or 2 truths, but the understanding of how, why, what, is the purpose of existence, (this paragraph is for those who wanted to attain enlightenment in a smaller realm level* of cultivation.
I say this, everything can be the Truthyou seek of, but also it can be the contradiction of truth, it will still be your perspective and the things u truly wanted, u can be a devil or an angel, no one is yo judge ur perspective, but you,. You may think u want to be good and found something along the line of good enlightenment, but in essence it is not. Bla bla bla, all in, good nor evil dies not exist.
Omniscient_Sunfish yeah, your right, we can even become cultivator if we cultivate mariju@n@. 
, still nice of u having a good farm.
Pleasedeteme what is it im curious 
, if I may 
.
Yuyumamoru worry not friend, as i already have taken many precautions and ramifications to this cause. I scattered my essence throughout the globe, though it is just 15 phases it will actually takes time, incoming to phase it still needs 3 months, to achieve the 7th phase, and to achieved the 8th it will take me 8-12 months depending on my mood, but i assure u my friend i won't meddle in it as i already have.
AyeKennot I have to disagree.. but I know where you come from... but actually what you believe or perceive is a truth even if it's lie. Even if the truths condratic.. it's truth that might as well exist for other reasons such as saying gravity does not exist... it's truth.. when it come a to perspective and visualization... but not true. It is true gravity exist as it's truth we rely on. So, there is many truths.. but also many lies.
But this concept can mostly be applied for perspective and individual purposes.
But I agree there is no black or white...it's all perspective and depends on the benefits or disadvantages from person to person.
But there is also lies. Don't forget that. But a lie can become a truth. And a truth can become a lie.
I agree there is differences between what's a lie and a truth.Too don't think I don't accept facts. In terms of perspective and benefits.. it depends... on you.
It definitely exists, just not exaggerated as it is in novels.
AyeKennot Doyou know real cultivation?.. if so.. ten why might you be here and stating it so broadly to everyone? aren't you afraid? unless it's role play..
AyeKennot Here...

Wew lawd. Please hook me up with some of whatever you're smoking. It sounds like some good shit! XD
Interesting thread. Everyone has their own beliefs and theories on how the world works.
My two cents:
There are physical laws by which things are governed in the world. An example is gravity. Nothing defies the law of gravity. Even airplanes work by creating more lift that gravity, and the gravity never goes away. If you stop creating lift you fall. In space you are no longer affected by earths gravity in the same way, but you still technically have a net gravitational force on you depending on where you are in the universe.
There are also spiritual laws. Most of this has to do with people. As someone said above, we can not create life because it is something more than the physical properties that comprise us. There is some living element we can no reproduce. This is where most religions focus. Some religions might believe is Qi and Cultivation, I donāt know every religion that well. Iāll phrase it like this, we are more than the sum of our parts.
I am a Christian, so I can say that (where I am from) Christians donāt talk about QI and cultivation. They do talk about spiritual laws and forces that are in the Bible. An example is prayer. While it doesnāt work like a fantasy priest, with prayers resembling spells you can ācast,ā there is power in prayers. I am not going to get into a whole theological explanation or debate, but I wanted to point this out. I also feel like my beliefs could contradict with other Christian beliefs...there are so many theories about how things work in the āspiritual realm.ā
My personal take? While Qi/cultivation isnāt real, you can develop your spiritual side like a physical muscle. My Christian beliefs refer to this as faith. You can do things to increase your faith, and also increase your āspiritual power.ā Again, this doesnāt work like a video game where Cristianās eventually can blow skeletons up with their mind. We also donāt swing crucifixes at things as weapons (that I know of). It does do things that increase your power in the world by building your faith and relationship with God. I think most religions or spiritual beliefs think something along these lines.
Cool thread yo and i think yes like in the ancient legends superhuman people may have actually just been cultivators and gods like the Greek Egyptian and Roman ones may have been people who has transcended the realm of humans, Also what if the pyramids were built by cultivators??, that would be very interesting don't u think!!
What if like as science progressed cultivation decreased and that's why the Chinese empire gradually began to lose their power. Also this theory would like explain why the Chinese empire had dominated for a very long time. Maybe Qi and Aura are basically the same and like Aura was the first stage to Qi Control ig?? and what if the monsters like hydra Nemean lion and other monsters were like animals who condensed qi. And maybe UFOs were actually just cultivators who were flying around on their condensed qi shield or something. This is my opinion and if u guys find this interesting email me to talk about this. i have a whole bunch of things like this to discuss alaninqatar1500@gmail.com
And also the Bigfoot, the Lochna Monster, Atlantis, the Golden Ants, underwater cities in the ocean, underwater caves, strange cave paintings and many other obscure things for modern man of the 21st century. Maybe this too, some remnants of artifacts of ancient cultivators?

Reku_Nu_Hax if you have any secret share it we me also..
DaoBart Just wanted to point out that Satan was originally an angel, wich unlike humans are NOT supposed to have free will, he was banished from Heaven because he was like a defective product, he had emotions. Angels are the enforces of God, humans are their children that gained free will the moment Eva took the apple in Eden. She and Adam weren't supposed to eat the apple, and by doing it they commited a miracle not foreseen by God and therefore were expelled from Eden, because everything that happens in Eden is supposed to happen according to the plan of God. I do not believe in the biblical God btw.
As for the main question, I do not think cultivators as portrayed in typical novels exists. The Energy of the Heavens is what breaks it for me. Energy is often misconstructed in media. Energy is not tangible, visible, audible and you can't DIRECTLY interact with it, you can't feel it. Energy is a transfering of potential and nothing more, you don't wield it, you just move it indirectly. I do think though that people is capable of spiritual enlightment. This is a form of mortal transcendancy, but only temporarily, and certainly not as a skill or trade. As for Fate, there are a lot of interpretations for it, but personally I would like to think that we really hve free will. The only restraint known to man has been and will always be man itself
