My Master Knows It All

700: 216 Chapter 4 700: 216 Chapter 4 “If that were the case, that great power should have divided the spoils together afterwards; there was no need for them to be so frantic,”

“Moreover, the two Earth Immortals that Peak Master Cao and his group encountered before were from the Great Lai Dynasty.

Then, the people of Great Lai knew Peak Master Cao and his group were absent and dared to attack our Hundred Peaks Sect.

It was clear that the people of Great Lai were prepared to make their move.

Why then did it always feel like they were holding back their strength during the attack?”

“The three Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty, though ostensibly cooperating, were actually guarding against each other; it’s normal for them to reserve their strength,”

“Still, it feels strange.”

For a while, everyone discussed enthusiastically, each expressing their doubts.

Yan Yourong listened to the voices of the crowd, hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up, “Yu Tuoyu once said that they had discovered something.

He mentioned he had found traces of activity from the remnants of a previous dynasty.

He suspects that the chaos of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty is related to these remnants.”

“Remnants of a former dynasty?” Among the crowd, Little Beiyan suddenly asked in confusion, “The Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty has existed for so many years.

How can there still be any remnants left given the lifespan of a mortal?”

Yan Yourong shook her head in bewilderment as well; she too was unclear as to why Yu Tuoyu would mention the remnants of a former dynasty.

Many in the crowd also shook their heads, unable to understand this issue.

However, Yi Sheng, looking at his fellow senior brothers and sisters’ puzzled expressions, took the initiative to explain, “Although it’s called the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty now, it didn’t have that name before.

In fact, whether it’s the previous Guardian Imperial Dynasty, the nearby Great Jin Dynasty, the Great Lai Dynasty which attacked us earlier, as well as all the other great dynasties, they all belonged to a single dynasty previously, known as the Qi Tian Dynasty.”

Despite her youth, Yi Sheng was born into a family of merchants and was exceptionally bright since childhood.

Before she joined the Hundred Peaks Sect, she had read various books at home, and her father had hired many scholars to teach her a variety of knowledge, including a scholar who told her about the history of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

“The former Qi Tian Dynasty had an immense territory, and its rulers were Cultivators themselves.

At that time, the strongest Immortal Sect within the Qi Tian Dynasty was the Heaven Prayers Sect!

However, for some unknown reasons, the Qi Tian Dynasty suddenly collapsed, and the Heaven Prayers Sect disappeared without a trace.

Then, the Qi Tian Dynasty splintered into various great dynasties.”

That was all Yi Sheng knew.

The scholar who had told her this was a mortal who did not understand the affairs of the Immortal Realm, and thus did not know why the Heaven Prayers Sect disappeared.

Later on, she conducted her own investigation into the timelines and realized that the disappearance of the Heaven Prayers Sect coincided with the tenure of the seventh generation Sect Leader True Person of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

From the seventh to the eighth generation of the Hundred Peaks Sect, a great war broke out during that period.

In that war, the Hundred Peaks Sect suffered heavy losses, and many of its inheritances were severed as a result.

Moreover, it wasn’t just the Hundred Peaks Sect; many Immortal Sects of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty experienced that war, all suffering heavy losses.

Numerous Immortal Sects failed to recover from this downfall, or went extinct directly.

She had also browsed through the archives within the Hundred Peaks Sect, but the records did not specify why the Sect fought that war, only that it happened.

Clearly, the disappearance of the Heaven Prayers Sect was related to the great war that affected all the major Immortal Sects of the time, but the specific details were unknown to her.

“So, the remnants of the former dynasty that Yu Tuoyu mentioned, are they the remnants of the Qi Tian Dynasty?

After so many years, do they still harbor desires to restore their power?”

“If the chaos within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty is related to them, does it mean that the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and Red Refinery Demonic Sect’s attack on our Hundred Peaks Sect is also connected to them?”

“Regardless of the connection, since they attacked our Hundred Peaks Sect, they must pay the price!”

“Right!

We may not know the whereabouts of the lairs of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and Red Refinery Demonic Sect, but we do know where the East Sea Mirage, Void Breaking Sect, and Star Moon Mansion are located.”

“They wanted to annihilate our Hundred Peaks Sect; they must be prepared for their own destruction!”

“This matter cannot be let go!

To attack our Sect’s gate is to engage in a battle to the death!”

Once the discussion turned to the three Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty, everyone once again became agitated.

In the Immortal Cultivation world of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, or rather, in the entire Immortal Cultivation world, if you dare to attack someone’s sect gate, especially with so many people together aiming to eradicate the entire Immortal Sect, it invariably results in a fight to the death.

“We must avenge our grudge, but before that, we must first bury our deceased elders in Spirit Mountain!”

Spirit Mountain!

Every year during Qingming, if the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect can make it back, they will try their utmost to return.

Those within the Hundred Peaks Sect, from the Sect Leader down to the newly initiated disciples—except for those in closed-door cultivation—would all partake in visiting Spirit Mountain to pay respects to the ancestors of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

This year, Qingming had already passed.

But on this day, all disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, wearing hemp and mourning, headed for Spirit Mountain.

The battles fought by Cultivators were even more fierce than those between mortals.

In mortal warfare, corpses can be left behind after death.

But in the battles of Cultivators, especially those defending the sect, many die without their bodies ever being found.
