“Are you saying that the Hundred Immortal Sects have not always existed in the Sumeru Realm?” Jiang Wen asked rhetorically.
He naturally knew that the origins of the Hundred Immortal Sects were not in the Sumeru Realm, after all, he had worked with cultivators in Tianyuan City.
The Hundred Immortal Sects originated from the ancient emperors, and evolved from the ancient emperors' cultivation methods.
It was only later that differences arose, and they gradually split into various immortal sects.
However, he knew very little about the Sumeru Realm, mostly from the history books of the Daqian government and the information said by Li Yunshang and Yan Gongli.
He never thought that one day he would really come to the Sumeru Realm.
“Yes, cultivators are actually not natives of the Sumeru Realm.” Changyin shook her head and sighed softly.
“It is said that the Hundred Immortal Sects discovered the Sumeru Realm by accident.
Some cultivators found an ancient cave dwelling ruin while digging, and came to the Sumeru Realm through the teleportation array in the ancient cave dwelling ruin.
Later, the immortal sects mastered the method of going to and from the Sumeru Realm through that teleportation array, and gradually settled in the Sumeru Realm and established sect territories.”
“Do you know that during the exploration of the Sumeru Realm in those years, the Hundred Immortal Sects discovered many ruins of ancient sects?
Some can even be traced back to the ancient emperor period.
From those ruins, some cultivators discovered various ancient techniques and secret arts, so in the following 100,000 years, the techniques of the Hundred Immortal Sects gradually improved, and their strength had already broken away from the control of the Taicang Dynasty.
Even the immortal sects were able to control the changes in the world and decide on the emperors who controlled the destiny of humanity.”
“That’s why Daqian was able to replace Taicang and become the new master of humanity in the mortal world.”
Changyin told Jiang Wen the past events of the immortal sects.
It was the first time he knew that there was such a thing in the war between Daqian and Taicang.
No wonder the Hundred Immortal Sects were able to seize the right to speak, it turned out that it was because they had discovered the ancient sect ruins in this Sumeru Realm, and obtained a large number of techniques and magical weapons from them.
This allowed them to master power that exceeded the Taicang royal family.
That's why they were able to help Daqian defeat Taicang in the war between Daqian and Taicang.
“I didn’t expect there to be such past events.” Jiang Wen sighed, he had never heard Yan Gongli say these things.
It seemed that Yan Gongli also didn’t know some of the past events of this Sumeru Realm.
After all, after she joined the Wuliang Pavilion, she had been escaping from her master.
“It’s just that fortune and misfortune depend on each other.
Although this Sumeru Realm is good, it also has hidden dangers.” Changyin said, raising her head to look around the Chunyang Palace.
“Do you know why the Sumeru Realm is so good, but those immortal sect Taoist palace masters, and even Sendai saints, stay in the mortal world?”
“Why?” Jiang Wen really didn’t know what the reason was.
Just as Changyin said, the Sumeru Realm is full of spiritual energy and natural treasures, which is a place that cultivators dream of.
Then why do the Taoist palace masters and saints of the Hundred Immortal Sects often appear in the mortal world?
Wouldn't it be wonderful to sit in this Sumeru Realm and no longer be affected by the great mist?
There must be some reason for this, which is why the Hundred Immortal Sects have no choice but to do so.
“That’s because the Sumeru Realm is not a holy land either.” Changyin said calmly.
At this moment, she seemed to become extremely mature, without the slightest expression that a little girl should have.
“There is a rumor among the Hundred Immortal Sects that if one reaches the Taoist palace realm, if one stays in the Sumeru Realm for many years, one will be corroded by the heavenly evil and eventually turn into a Kuishi without any consciousness.”
Their nature is ferocious and they like to suck human blood.
Once a Taoist palace master turns into a Kuishi, their strength will definitely increase several times.
Wherever they pass, grass will not grow, and wherever they go, there will be bloody storms.
There was once a big city named Zhuo, where thousands of cultivators and mortals lived.
But one day, a Kuishi passed through this place, and the city was massacred overnight.
It is said that the corpses in the city that day were like mountains, and their blood was like the sea.
The evil aura swirled in the sky, and even after tens of thousands of years, it has not dissipated.
Even a saint can do nothing about it.”
“There are many places like this that have been destroyed by Kuishi, where blood-colored evil aura is entrenched, and you can smell the stench from afar.
Immortal sect cultivators call it the Heavenly Evil Forbidden Land.”
“Kuishi, Heavenly Evil Forbidden Land.
Is the Sumeru Realm so terrifying?” Jiang Wen couldn’t help but ask.
“These are still good, even more so when a saint turns into a Kuishi.
That is what the Hundred Immortal Sects truly fear.” Changyin’s little face turned pale when she talked about the saint turning into a Kuishi.
It was as if it was some terrifying thing, and her expression was terrified.
“If a Taoist palace turns into a ghost, it is called Kuishi, then a saint turning into a ghost is called Tianba.
Since the Hundred Immortal Sects entered the Sumeru Realm, there have only been two Tianba in existence.
That is a great terror that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and even a taboo that the Hundred Immortal Sects are unwilling to face.”
“Kuishi is difficult to subdue, Tianba destroys the world.
This is a long-standing saying of the Hundred Immortal Sects.
As for the existence of these two Tianba, one of them is the saint of this Chunyang Palace.”
Changyin pointed to the depths of the Chunyang Palace, with a hint of regret on her face: “The saint of Chunyang Palace was a good person, and Chunyang Palace is also a righteous sect.
They often take it as their duty to slay demons and subdue demons, and help all living beings in the world.
It is a pity that the saint sat in the Chunyang Palace and turned into Tianba, and the Chunyang Palace was also destroyed overnight.
No one knows where the saint who turned into Tianba went.
Only one Taoist palace master who escaped from Chunyang Palace told the world about this.
And that Taoist palace master of Chunyang Palace also died after living for only three days.”
“This Tianba is really terrifying.” Listening to this story, Jiang Wen could feel how terrifying the saint who turned into Tianba was.
A Taoist palace turning into a Kuishi can increase its strength several times, and a saint turning into a Tianba is an unimaginable existence.
“So Chunyang Palace was destroyed because of that saint who turned into Tianba?” Jiang Wen understood.
“Yes.
That’s why Chunyang Palace still stores various magical weapons of Chunyang Palace.
The Chunyang treasure sword you got is one of them.” Changyin’s expression recovered and her tone became lighter.
“So the purpose of our coming to Chunyang Palace is to find relics and magical weapons, so that we can help you avoid the disaster.”
“Is that place very dangerous?” Jiang Wen asked again.
“Of course.” Changyin nodded.
“Chunyang Palace can also be considered a large sect.
After it was destroyed overnight, how could no one come to explore the treasure?
Do you know why there are so few cultivators coming here now?”
“I don’t know.”
“That’s because the secret treasures of Chunyang Palace are hidden in extremely hidden secret realms.
Ordinary cultivators cannot know about it, and even Taoist palace masters may not be able to find it.
And I happen to know where this secret realm is, but because there are many dangers in it, I need your help.” Changyin was full of confidence, as if she was determined to get the Chunyang secret treasure.
Jiang Wen temporarily believed her, but he was still vigilant in his heart.
After all, people’s hearts are unpredictable, and one cannot fully trust others.
Moreover, there are many loopholes in Changyin’s words, and what she said about being a Taoist companion and the future is probably just to coax people.
However, the fact that she knew his details really surprised him.
“So how did she know about me?” Jiang Wen was puzzled.
“Let’s go, let’s explore this Chunyang secret treasure.”
Changyin walked towards the Chunyang Palace, and Jiang Wen followed behind her.
