Chapter 638: Chapter 13 Ancient History

"Incredible, the Tianyuan Realm was discovered by a disciple of the Great Immortal Embracing the Void?"

Seeing the four characters "Embracing the Void Immortal Venerable", An Jing could confirm that they were definitely referring to "Great Immortal Embracing the Void", as that was the Great Immortal’s official title.

And the Tianyuan Realm pioneer referred to as ’my master’ is clearly one of the twelve disciples previously known to An Jing on the side of Embracing the Void.

Although the Great Immortal Embracing the Void never took apprentices, in the Huai Xu Realm there were twelve nominal disciples with great destinies, five of whom became masters of the Dao Courtyard. The founder of the Shangxuan Sect was one of them, and their lineage has continued to this day, still sitting as the supreme sacred land of succession in the Central Continent.

The Boundary Opening Great Immortal of the Tianyuan Realm is not one of those five Dao Masters but inherited the path of his master, the Great Immortal Embracing the Void, developed outwardly, and established the lineage of the Tianyuan Realm. His achievements and abilities are in no way inferior to those of the five Dao Masters.

"Supreme Embracing the Void..."

An Jing murmured in his heart, aware of the significance of those two words: "To be called ’Supreme’, the Great Immortal Embracing the Void is certainly among the highest ranks in the Central Dao Court."

"What level is He exactly? Above the Ling Xiao Primordial Spirit? Or is it..."

After a moment of silence, An Jing shook his head: "Nevermind, it’s not something I can contemplate at the moment."

He continued to browse, reflecting the cascading blue data waterfall in his eyes: "In any case, the linkage between Embracing the Void and the Tianyuan as having a common origin is certain."

"So, is the Demon Calamity of Embracing the Void the same as the world calamity of Tianyuan?"

An Jing didn’t think so. The Heart Demon world calamity of Tianyuan had indeed happened a long time ago, but it should not have exceeded one era of Embracing the Void.

Moreover, perhaps because this was a public information database, while searching for relevant information, An Jing oddly found that most events related to the Demon Calamity didn’t have any ’time’ records.

The most recent time-recorded event related to the Heavenly Demon occurred four thousand years ago.

At that time, a Great Demon Spirit at the Dao Embryo realm underwent Demonic Degeneration, causing the sky to weep for ten days, the earth to gush blood springs, and a desolate tide to sweep across the East Sea coasts, forcing Shouyang Mountain and the newly-formed Guiyi Army to join forces in stopping the disaster.

Apparently, this was a world long after the world calamity, and the Guiyi Army had just come into being.

And looking at it this way, humans actually have normal Demon Spirit allies, mostly located in the East Sea, protecting the eastern side of the Human Clan alliance—the name of that Demonic Degenerated Great Demon Spirit was ’Jing Jiyue’, a Dragon Whale with True Spirit Blood of the Kunpeng. Before its complete Demonic Degeneration, it sensed something was wrong and notified the four major groups, so although the desolate tide caused severe destruction, it was still manageable.

"Are there other examples?"

An Jing continued to seek relevant information but really found nothing... The mystery of the world calamity was truly beyond imagination.

Unable to find an answer in this area, An Jing continued with browsing the ancient history of the Tianyuan Realm.

Like the world calamity, the ancient history was all incomplete and erroneous; it was unclear whether the information repository was originally damaged or if the four major groups didn’t want the public to know these things.

The True Immortal who claimed to be a disciple of the Great Immortal Embracing the Void self-named as "Han Yue". He esteemed his master greatly; the reason An Jing just saw the extremely significant information "my master Embracing the Void Immortal Venerable" preserved in the public information database was mainly because the following several pages were filled with this nominal disciple’s highly sophisticated and culturally refined method of praising the Great Immortal Embracing the Void’s abilities, achievements, appearance, and morals.

After praising the master’s Creation Great Divine Skill, Han Yue Immortal Venerable regretfully believed that although he had mastered the power of Innate Creation and could create out of the Void, becoming an Immortal Venerable for one realm, he was still far inferior to his master, whose mere thoughts determined the Transformation of Heaven and Earth, creating the resolutely magnificent Upper Realm of Huai Xu.

But he was running out of time; he had a "very important task" that he must accomplish, so he delegated his power to the various Primordial Spirits, encouraging these rising talents to build the Tianyuan Realm into an even better place.

Generally speaking, this was akin to a proof and farewell letter clarifying the origin of the Dao lineage, and though Han Yue Immortal Venerable was busy, what was written was comprehensive.

Furthermore, many records and sayings of Han Yue Immortal Venerable were missing.

"Why is this information repository of the Tianyuan Realm just like your memory, Subdue Evil, all broken up into pieces?"

Upon reaching this point, An Jing couldn’t help but comment: "The Immortal Venerable behind didn’t finish speaking before it was abruptly cut off!"

"What do you mean by that? My memory was shattered and hence I can’t remember; it’s an act of God, they did it deliberately!"

Subdue Evil was discontent: "This is clearly a deliberate act by the Tianyuan Realm who don’t want the information in the public repository! Look closely, this preserved information essentially serves to prove the Tianyuan Realm’s lineage and that they inherit from the Dao Courtyard and Supreme Embracing the Void."

"And all the major events that everyone knows about, like that desolate tide, everyone knows about it, so it had to be preserved!"

"But," Subdue Evil continued, changing the tone, "their control of history isn’t a bad thing; in fact, it isn’t surprising, because some Heavenly Demons can continue their existence through memories."

"Heavenly Demons truly cannot be fully exterminated."

An Jing browsed further, his privileges were high, like holding a magnifying glass, allowing him to automatically enlarge and notice all sorts of information ’written very small’, hidden within the Spiritual Network’s gaps, which were ’not secret but not intended to be found’.

"There were actually internal wars among the four major groups initially. They wanted to unify forces to confront calamities, but due to various reasons it turned into a competition among high-level cultivators."

"Shouyang Mountain was the final victor, but the losses were heavy. Although they won, it was a pyrrhic victory, hence the formation of the co-governing situation by the four major groups. This is also the origin of the ’Four Cities Competition’, which on the surface, aside from student competitions, if big issues arise, the four major groups will also compete to make decisions..."

"The reason why Tianyuan Realm is named Tianyuan isn’t because the Secluded Immortal Venerable’s name is ’Tianyuan’, but because this place is situated amongst all heavens, serving as a trading hub for various forces? No wonder it was so prosperous before the world calamity..."

"But speaking of which, what happened to the Secluded Immortal Venerable’s lineage?"

"Hmm... Found information related to the seven major Primordial Spirit inheritances in Tianyuan before the world calamity."

Scanning through numerous pieces of information, An Jing discovered another valuable piece of information—but while An Jing was concentrating on it, he suddenly realized that there existed an extremely covert hidden information package next to it, one that even someone with his ’high authority’ almost missed.

Steadying his focus, An Jing began to decode it.

"The Heavenly Dome parts, the Earth Spine splits, the Five Elements collapse, Yin and Yang extinguish... When the apocalypse rises, the Heart of Heaven and Earth shatters, the Sky Opening Sword emerges, and the Celestial Domain scatters."

"All heavens grow dim, Tianyuan splits in two, forever leaving our homeland."
