The Against Heaven

Chapter 89: Causes of the Fall of the Heaven Ancient Sect

The Heaven Ancient Sect was founded by Min Ren during the early years of the Emperor Era. The foundation of his emperor could be said to be unshakable!

During the beginning of the Emperors Era, at a time when the Heaven Ancient Sect was at its most prosperous condition, it encompassed the entire Great Middle Region and commanded the entire Mortal Emperor World. One could only imagine how powerful it used to be.

A million years had passed, and the Heaven Ancient Sect had finally become weak. It no longer had the power to sweep through the world and rule over the Nine Worlds like before. However, the ancestral ground of the Heaven Ancient Sect was still left.

The ancestral ground of the Heaven Ancient Sect was once very vast. Some said that when the sect was at its peak, it ranged around a million miles with thousands of ancient pavilions and countless disciples who were not only from the Mortal Emperor World! Even Charm Spirit, Heavenly Devil and Stone Golems. These heaven-favored races joined the Heaven Ancient Sect.”

The glory of the Heaven Ancient Sect was eternal; in the end, the Heaven Ancient Sect had to let go of its vast land and hide like a turtle in a corner of its old land.

Li Han Tian's group continued their journey with Protector Mo in the lead. Since he had been to the Ancient Land several times, he could be considered a good guide as he headed to a place he was familiar with.

Today, only a few major peaks remain and it only stretches for a thousand miles. This is incomparable to the old breadth.

They left the Heaven Ancient Sect on the straight path to the Ancient Land. One could see rolling mountains and high peaks like the Dragon Tiger entrenched in the middle of this majestic earth.

The Ancestral Land of the sect used to be a beautiful landscape of mountains and rivers, like an immortal land. However, today from Li Han Tian's eye sight, this was no longer the case.

Closing the distance to the Ancient Land, he only saw death: dry trees and withered forests, bare mountains and empty rivers, without birds and beasts, a land of silence.

Observing along the way, he discovered that there were ancient temples and pavilions high within the deep mountains and valleys. Unfortunately, this ancient temple and tall pavilion were smashed into pieces and surrounded by weeds and deadly aura.

From the fine carvings of these broken ruins, one could imagine the prosperity of the time, the grandeur of the time.

Countless undulating peaks and many ancient buildings lived in ruins now!

Traveling on this miserable land, even Protector Mo gently sighed. The sadness and unwillingness to see the once invincible Heaven Ancient Sect fall into this state.

Li Han Tian quietly stepped on the familiar ground that had completely changed by now. However, the decline of the Heaven Ancient Sect was not the reason why Li Han Tian's expression changed greatly. What moved him was that he was walking on a vast land, yet he could vaguely sense an evil aura underground!

Li Han Tian had sensed this evil aura before within the Ghost Pavilion. He was familiar with this aura, and he knew the origin of this evil energy, but he could not imagine how this evil energy had appeared once again.

This land was once filled with legends. That year, when Li Han Tian was a Dark Eagle, he was well aware. It was the same as Immortal Emperor Min Ren. It was indeed mysterious, and indeed legendary, yet it also buried a terrifying existence.

Establishing the Heaven Ancient Sect in this land, Li Han Tian had his own reasons that year. In order to get rid of the problems in the future, Li Han Tian had infiltrated the deepest parts of this land. After Min Ren shouldered Heaven's Will, Li Han Tian personally refined and used an invincible sealing formation at the deepest part.

In principle, this evil aura should not appear again. In reality, after Min Ren left and when he became the Dark Eagle that appeared in this world again, he tracked down this land. After countless years and from age to age, he was still observing this land, but this situation was unprecedented.

However, during his last deep sleep, only thirty thousand years had passed, yet this matter had occurred and it had greatly shocked Li Han Tian.

Li Shuangyan, standing next to Li Han Tian, inevitably said: “There are unpleasant things underground!”

As a genius, his spirit senses were extremely sharp. Walking on this land, he felt that there was an aura on the ground that caused him to become angry.

Protector Mo gently shook his head and sighed: “I heard that that year, there was a big change, and it caused the decline of our Heaven Ancient Sect.”

“Secte Ancient Heaven did face a major disaster that year.” Li Shuangyan changed her expression and said: “I have heard about the great calamity that occurred in the Heaven Ancient Sect, but later generations assumed that the sect made excuses for their great defeat.”

“Hmph, what reason. I heard the elders say that if a great calamity did not occur that year, what would the Heavenly God Sect be to us? When Immortal Emperor Ta Kong was still in this world, he did not even dare to arrogantly say that he could destroy our Heaven Ancient Sect.” Nan Huairen coldly snorted, his arrogance sky-high. Looking at his expression, it was as if he had personally experienced a battle that year.

“Don't rush crazy!” Protector Mo shouted at this disciple: “An Immortal Emperor for a generation was someone who shouldered the Will of Heaven and ruled heaven, who are you to say such careless words! ”

Scolded by his master, Nan Huairen sadly lowered his neck as he laughed awkwardly. He was a carefree person, even after being scolded, he paid no heed and busily said: “I heard that the elders said that the calamity of that year was a deadly blow to our Heaven Ancient Sect. Imagine that year, a deadly disaster suddenly happened to our sect.”

“Do not make inaccurate statements in front of Young Master and the princess. Even Elder Gu didn't know much about the calamity that year, just a little information.” Regarding his disciple opening his mouth arrogantly, as his master, Protector Mo glared at him once. At this time, as a protector, he referred to Li Han Tian as “Young Master.”

Nan Huairen, scolded by his master, smiled awkwardly. He finally said seriously: “An unexpected event that happened that year, not even the elders knew about it. Some say thirty thousand years ago, some say fifty thousand years. Basically, thirty to fifty thousand years ago, a strange disaster occurred in our sect. ”

Li Shuangyan asked: “How is it weird?” Regarding this legend, he had also heard of it. However, he was not a disciple of the Heaven Ancient Sect, so there was a high chance that his source was inaccurate.

“This ...” This question is difficult to answer by Nan Huairen. He could scratch his head for half a day without producing an answer. In reality, he had only heard about this from the legends. Exactly the case, he doesn't know. Even the elders with their ages did not know, let alone him.

Finally, Protector Mo gently sighed and revealed: “There was an unpleasant appearance, a strange occurrence in the center of the sect.”

As for the true details of the unpleasant incident, Protector Mo himself had no idea. The upper echelons of the sect only knew that something negative had happened, but no one knew the details because all the disciples who had personally experienced those events were no longer part of this world.

When Protector Mo and Nan Huairen replied, The originally quiet Li Han Tian solemnly said: “The sealing of this land is problematic.” His expression was rarely serious, but this time it showed a slight chill.

Li Shuangyan was shocked after hearing Li Han Tian's words. Within the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, there was an ancient inscription that contained the words left behind by their ancestor, the Nine Saint Paragon. Legend has it that Immortal Emperor Min Ren sealed this land then built the Heaven Ancient Sect on it, leaving the emperor's foundation unshakable!

As for why Min Ren had to seal this land and what was sealed, the writing did not mention. The next generation doesn't know either.

At this moment, Li Han Tian had spoken confidently, without hesitation as if he had known before. Li Shuangyan was puzzled because this was an ancient matter. Moreover, there was no concrete document about it, so how did he know?

If one could travel around the sect boundary that year, then they would find that it was like a giant sea snail. These sea snails are huge. Lying on the ground, it carried the entire land of the Heaven Ancient Sect.

Today, the land of the sect was only part of the tail of this sea snail. That year, the center of the sect was located on the back of a sea snail.

As they reached the center of the sect that year, they discovered that all the trees and plants were withered. From these dead trees, one could see that this place was once filled with ancient trees and bright god grasses with heavenly vines covering the sky. It is a pity that today, this place is now a dead land.

Stepping into the middle area, they saw a strange sight. Outside the center, all the ancient temples and pavilions had entirely collapsed into ruins, but the center was nothing like that at all.

As the central area of the Heaven Ancient Sect, Immortal Emperor Min Ren used to use this place to rule the entire world and receive the worship of all races in the Nine Worlds. After that, all the sect masters of the Heaven Ancient Sect stayed here to lead the crowd of heroes.

In this place, it would be described as having an ancient pavilion forest and godly temples. However, today everything was covered, as if the sky had suddenly rained down on them with mud. Countless mud covered buildings that had dried up for centuries.

All the buildings here seemed to be trapped in a thick layer of mud, causing others to be unable to recognize its true appearance.
