Chapter 611: Chapter 267: The Truth, a Monstrous Lie
In front of the high earthen platform, displaying desolation, amidst the ancient divine weapons emitting ceaseless Vast Righteous Qi.
In Yunmo Xi’s word-for-word description, Ye Xiaofan and the others seemed to traverse back endless years and experience a truth buried for over nine thousand years.
Over nine thousand years, equivalent to ten thousand age epochs, it could be said to be eons ago.
"Before the ancient times, the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region wasn’t the territory of today’s Righteous Orthodox Sects. At most, they were merely the second-tier force on this continent."
"That was a period of darkness without daylight..."
As Yunmo Xi spoke, the ancient Demoness, first of its kind, seemed deeply immersed in that historical epoch of eons ago.
According to Yunmo Xi’s words, before the ancient times, on this vast land of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region, myriad sects stood tall, unprecedentedly prosperous. Even the Nanming Dynasty had to deploy heavy troops to guard this territory.
Yet, an unprecedented battle with outsiders occurred ten thousand ages ago, altering everything in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region.
At that time, the entire Nanming Dynasty was besieged on all sides, and the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region was similarly invaded by outsiders. To protect their homeland, the first-tier sect forces of this world all-outly mobilized to intercept the foreign armies at the Celestial Wolf Mountain Range.
"In that battle, the dynasty fought against ten, surrounded, unable to spare attention elsewhere. The sect forces of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region had no reinforcements; the only reliance they had was the myriad cultivators."
"Back then, the first-tier sect forces were led by the Celestial Saint Sect and the Celestial Sword Sect among the ten top Saint Sects. Facing powerful enemies, the ten sects were forced to temporarily command the myriad sects, marching to the Celestial Wolf Mountain Range border to resist the foreign invasion."
"They knew that behind the Celestial Wolf Mountain Range lay the entire homeland of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region. This was their home, where countless relatives resided, the place of survival for generations. If the Celestial Wolf Mountain Range were breached, the entire region would cease to exist."
"To defend this land, the ten major Saint Sects, including the Celestial Saint Sect and the Celestial Sword Sect, spared no effort to prove themselves. They migrated the sect land to the spirit-deprived Celestial Wolf Mountain Range, like stabilizing divine pins, firmly planted on the front line."
"Yet at that time, there was a sect force that regarded this devastating calamity as an opportunity to rise, unwilling to go to the frontline. The ten Saint Sects had no choice but to compromise and eventually entrusted the rear to them, with second-tier sect forces assuming the second line of defense."
More startling to Ye Xiaofan and the others was that this so-called second-tier myriad sects were not indigenous cultivators to the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region but beings from a resource-exhausted land, whom the region had long ago accommodated.
"After settling the second-tier sect forces, the ten major Saint Sects led the myriad cultivators resolutely to the Celestial Wolf Mountain Range..."
"In that battle, mountains and rivers shattered, desolation abounded, countless Saint Realm cultivators fell on the battlefield, buried in Celestial Wolf..."
When mentioning the ’second-tier’ sect forces from ages ago, Yunmo Xi gritted her teeth, her eyes surging with endless hatred.
By this point in the narrative, Ye Xiaofan and the others had already made some guesses, vaguely thinking of certain possibilities.
Sure enough, the battle eons ago was immensely tragic; the ten major Saint Sects nearly exhausted their foundations. The Celestial Saint Sect even vanished without a trace in this catastrophe, a giant Saint Sect directly annihilated in the Celestial Wolf Mountain Range.
However, fortunately, the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region ultimately achieved a pyrrhic victory. The myriad sects paid an extremely painful price, clashing fish dead with outsiders, waging war for decades, battling millions of times, finally repelling the invaders. At this moment, the myriad cultivators, only a tenth survived, giant level forces dropped eight or nine out of ten, and the strong ones among the hundred sects were uncountable.
Yet all this was worthwhile. They shed blood, disregarded life and death, ultimately safeguarding the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region, allowing the remnants to return.
Nonetheless, as Yunmo Xi spoke here, her beautiful eyes gradually filled with boundless hatred, the murderous intent sending shivers through Ye Xiaofan and the others.
"That was a near-extinction disaster for the myriad sects. Formerly ten great Saint Sects became nine. Even for the remaining Saint Sects, their peak fighting strength was nearly spent at the Celestial Wolf Mountain Range."
"But as ’they’ experienced a million wars, fighting to defend the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, in exhaustion and retreat, those damned second-tier sect sects occupied the nest, seized the myriad sects’ spiritual veins, the strongest ten sects among the second-tier occupied the Saint Sects’ mountain gates..."
The second-tier sects’ cultivators divided the resources of the ten Saint Sects and the myriad sects, pointing their swords at those ancestors retreating from the Celestial Wolf Mountain Range.
Taking advantage of the ten major Saint Sects and myriad sects’ weary state, the second-tier sect forces set an ambush in ’Sealed Wolf Valley,’ initiating a massacre, thirty billion cultivators, thirty billion staunch warriors returning from battle, were surrounded as if slaughtering chicken and dogs.
In that ambush, the second-tier sect forces wielded the butcher’s knife against thirty billion returning warriors, unprepared. Countless myriad cultivators fell into pools of blood, unable to rest in peace.
As they slaughtered the thirty billion myriad cultivators returning from Celestial Wolf simultaneously, the second-tier sects’ rear forces pointed the butcher’s knife at the descendants of myriad strong ones, launching a purge sweeping the entire Hundred Broken Mountain Range region.
