Chapter 93: Southern Regions Past Events

[After observing for a long time, you realize that the stories depicted in these murals are interconnected.]

[The first mural shows a light shield enveloping the continent. Every few decades, Heavenly Thunder descends, killing countless cultivators. All cultivators wish to break the shield and escape.]

[The second mural depicts two individuals using immense power to create four cracks in the light shield, escaping heavily injured.]

[The third mural shows a shadowy figure appearing in the sky shortly after the two escape, enraged and attempting to shatter the continent.]

[The fourth mural depicts a white-clad figure appearing to stop the shadowy figure just as he is about to strike.]

[The fifth mural shows the two figures having a long, secret conversation, after which the white-clad figure captures four fierce beasts to guard the cracks in the light shield.]

[The previously enraged shadowy figure then controls a cultivator from the Southern Regions to establish the Immortal Arrival Sect.]

[You stare at the fifth mural, feeling that the controlled cultivator who founded the Immortal Arrival Sect looks familiar, as if you've seen him somewhere before!]

[Unfortunately, the depiction on the mural is too vague for you to see clearly.]

[In the end, you shake your head, dismissing the thought, thinking you might be overthinking it.]

[The Immortal Spirit Sect has existed for millions of years; the founder should have long been dead. How could you have seen him?]

[After viewing the five murals, you are almost certain that they recount the history of the Southern Regions.]

[Except for not explaining the origin of the sealing formation, everything else matches the events in the Southern Regions.]

[This includes the initial attempts by everyone to break the formation.]

[Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya's escape.]

[The wrath of the Immortal Realm's powerful beings, wanting to shatter the Southern Regions.]

[The appearance of another powerful being, the negotiation, or rather, the confrontation between the two.]

[Finally, the origins of the four fierce beasts and the founding of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]

[At this point, you also understand why there have always been legends about Mo Jingtian.]

[Because they did indeed escape!]

[You now realize that before the escape of Lu Wuya and Mo Jingtian, there was no Immortal Arrival Sect.]

[So, at that time, there was no shortage of cultivators. Although they faced Heavenly Thunder every few decades, the cultivators of the Southern Regions did not have to hide from the Immortal Arrival Sect's pursuit.]

[Of course, it might have been their escape that attracted the attention of the Immortal Realm's powerful beings, making life more difficult for the cultivators of the Southern Regions.]

[These murals have answered many of your questions, but you are now even more puzzled by the Immortal Arrival Sect's recent actions.]

[Weren't you here to participate in the elder assessment?]

[Why are you being shown these past events?]

[The founder of the Immortal Arrival Sect, seeing your cautious expression, laughs heartily and tells you not to be nervous.]

[He asks if you want to know the story behind the murals.]

[Although you are scared and unsure of his intentions, you also know this is a rare opportunity to learn about the Southern Regions.]

[So, you nod.]

[Seeing this, he begins to slowly recount the story.]

[He tells you that he is indeed the founder of the Immortal Arrival Sect, named Shen Wutian, a genius from the same era as Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya!]

[And the sect master outside, Shen Wuyou, is merely a clone he created.]

[When Shen Wutian mentions Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya, his words are filled with agitation, as if there is some deep-seated grudge.]

[You are puzzled but do not interrupt.]

[He continues, saying that after Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya selfishly escaped, the Southern Regions became a living hell.]

[The two powerful beings from the Immortal Realm used four fierce beasts to block the cracks in the formation.]

[And he, the strongest in the Southern Regions apart from Lu Wuya and Mo Jingtian, was chosen by the Immortal Realm's powerful beings to become the founder of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]

[Hearing this, you understand that after Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya escaped, Shen Wutian became the strongest and was selected as a pawn by the Immortal Realm's powerful beings.]

[Perhaps this is why Shen Wutian showed emotional turmoil when mentioning Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya!]

[Shen Wuyou does not stop and continues to narrate.]

[He says that at first, he had no sense of self, like a walking corpse, ruthlessly killing his own kind every day.]

[He lived a life worse than death until one day, he discovered the current headquarters of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]

[He found that this land was an ancient relic, and here, he could temporarily escape the control of the Immortal Realm's powerful beings.]

[So, he established the headquarters of the Immortal Arrival Sect here, allowing him to temporarily break free from the control of those powerful beings.]

[He continues, saying that although this ancient land gave him temporary self-awareness, it was because the Immortal Realm's powerful beings were too arrogant.]

[The powerful beings of the Immortal Realm did not care whether he could regain self-awareness, as long as he completed his tasks.]

[At this point, Shen Wutian looks at you for a moment before continuing, saying that he is now at the brink of a breakthrough.]

[Once he breaks through again, even if he leaves this place, he will have a chance to completely free himself from the control of the Immortal Realm's powerful beings.]

[He asks if you are willing to help him!]

[Hearing this, a sense of foreboding rises in your heart.]
