Chapter 106: Three maps

After half a day, Bai Moyu brought you to the depths of the Celestial Verdant Sect.

As Bai Moyu continued flying, you finally stopped in front of a towering peak.

This place was already deep within the Celestial Verdant Sect, a place you had no prior access to.

You had no idea why Bai Moyu brought you here now.

While you were looking around, Bai Moyu performed a few incantations, revealing a passageway beneath the peak. He grabbed you and stepped inside.

As soon as you entered the passage, Bai Moyu released his hold on you, allowing you to walk beside him.

You were puzzled, not knowing what this place was.

But you didn't ask much, choosing to follow his steps.

You thought that with the power Bai Moyu had just displayed, if he wanted to harm you, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.

Following the passage downward, without any branches, you calculated that you had walked for about five or six hours before Bai Moyu stopped again.

Looking at the Bronze Gate in front of Bai Moyu, you understood that this must be the destination.

At this moment, your curiosity was at its peak.

You had to know, walking for five or six hours wasn't a leisurely stroll; you used your cultivation.

You estimated that you were now at least tens of thousands of meters underground.

Such a depth, with a Bronze Gate, was clearly unusual.

Without letting you guess further, Bai Moyu directly placed his hand on the Bronze Gate, which opened in response.

You immediately felt a suction force pulling you in, and you were involuntarily drawn through the gate.

When you reappeared, you found yourself in a grand hall.

Bai Moyu was standing beside you.

You had a lot of questions and wanted to ask.

Just as you were about to speak, you suddenly saw a crystal coffin appear ahead.

Inside the coffin lay a man.

After a quick glance, you instinctively looked at Bai Moyu beside you, then back at the man in the coffin.

Instantly, you were shocked. The man in the coffin looked exactly like Bai Moyu.

At that moment, you saw Bai Moyu push open the coffin and lie inside.

Seeing your prolonged silence, Bai Moyu teased, "Don't overthink it. I revealed my secret to you because you come from the Southern Regions. We're destined to be on the same side!"

Bai Moyu's words confused you even more.

But fortunately, he didn't keep you in suspense.

Bai Moyu led you to the center of the hall.

There, you saw three maps.

Bai Moyu pointed to the maps and asked if you noticed any changes.

After observing for a while, you hesitantly said, "Is the continent shattered?"

Bai Moyu nodded and said, "Yes, the continent is shattered!"

He told you that these three maps depicted the changes in the Nine Mystic Realm.

Hearing that they were maps of the Nine Mystic Realm, you observed more carefully.

After a few minutes, you looked at Bai Moyu and said, "Aren't we in the Eastern Regions now?"

Bai Moyu, with a sorrowful expression, said, "Yes and no."

He explained that this place could no longer be considered part of the Eastern Regions; it was now just a massive landmass drifting on the sea.

This land originally belonged to the Eastern Regions, but due to the continent's fragmentation, it had drifted southward to the Southern Regions.

Hearing this, you suddenly understood and cursed yourself for not realizing it sooner.

The three maps you just observed: the first showed an intact continent, with the Southern Regions at the southernmost part, connected to other regions.

The second map showed the Nine Mystic Realm's regions breaking into various landmasses, drifting into the sea.

The third map depicted the largest landmass of the Eastern Regions completely splitting, with the largest piece drifting southward to the Southern Regions.

You recalled the situation in the Southern Regions, where the sealing formation's four cracks corresponded to four directions.

The other directions could be explained, but the Southern Regions were already at the southernmost end of the Nine Mystic Realm, connected to the Endless Sea to the south. How could it be part of another region?

After seeing these maps, everything became clear.

But at the same time, you had a new question.

How did such a vast continent suddenly crack?

Was it a natural disaster or a man-made calamity?
