“The principle came from the Supreme Covenant! If a Superior Supreme expert joins a secular war, we are allowed to join forces against him! It creates a check and balance that ensures the peace of the secular world. It’s also one of the major reasons why high-level experts do not appear in the secular world... Because even for these experts, it’s sometimes difficult to control their temper. If they lose control and gets killed by all of us, it’s rather not worthy...”

Mei Xue Yan sighed. “The three Holy Lands then still lived up to their name. They were strong. They helped people while staying anonymous. They were focused on dealing with the external threats. And all of them were courteous and gentle... look at them today! How are they worthy of being called ‘Holy’? All they know is to fight for their reputation and double-cross each other to dominate the world...”

She sighed again. “The War for Seizing the Heavens is near, but they’re still busy trying to annihilate Tian Fa Forest, which was their ally, instead of preparing for the war! If something wrong is to happen at the Nine Nether Sanctuary, then I guess it will really be the end of the world...”

“Then... who’s that person who created the nine levels to judge the talent of people? He must be very strong...” Jun Mo Xie asked with a frown.

When Mei Xue Yan mentioned alluded to this person, she tried to be as ambiguous as possible. Jun Mo Xie was very aware of it. How could he miss information about such an important figure?

The nine levels of Xuan cultivation on the Xuan Xuan Continent had been passed down for tens of thousands of years. If it was all started by this person, how magnificently powerful would he have been?

Mei Xue Yan’s expression looked very awkward. She hesitated before finally saying, “What happened for the past ten thousand years is really a very big joke!

“In fact, the very technique of Xuan Qi was passed down from him! He’s the father of Xuan Qi! No matter the three Holy Lands or the Tian Fa Forest, all our training methods for Xuan cultivation originated from him....” Mei Xue Yan smiled bitterly as she suddenly stopped. She looked like she didn’t know what else to say anymore.

“Who is he?” Jun Mo Xie’s eyes twinkled as he lowered his voice to ask.

“Nine Nether First Young Master!” Mei Xue Yan uttered the name with difficulty.

“Nine Nether First Young Master? Judging form the name, he’s from the Nine Nether Sanctuary?” Jun Mo Xie was surprised. He didn’t expect the place where the Misty Illusory Manor and Tian Fa Forest had been guarding with so much effort was the home to the father of Xuan Qi!

“Yes! They’re related. But you got it the other way round. The Nine Nether Sanctuary is actually named after the Nine Nether First Young Master. Generations of masters of the Nine Nether Sanctuary all called themselves ‘Nine Nether XXth Young Master’. Now, it’s the era of the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master.” Mei Xue Yan looked rather anxious to say the name.

“What? I’m sure it’s at least ten thousand years since the beginning of the history of the Xuan Xuan Continent? I believe that Xuan Qi has been around before the first War for Seizing the Heavens. Then why it’s only fourteen generations for the Nine Nether Sanctuary? How’s it possible?” Jun Mo Xie immediately questioned it. He almost stood up.

It wasn’t only him, the others listening were also bewildered.

“No! The history of Xuan Qi and the Nine Nether Sanctuary is much longer than ten thousand years! The reason is that the way they choose their successor is mysterious. We can’t judge it with common sense. Or rather, no one is worthy commenting about it!” Mei Xue Yan explained slowly. “Their strength is beyond comprehension!”

“In fact, Xuan Qi wasn’t the only cultivation method on the continent long long time ago. It’s just that Nine Nether First Young Master emerged in the arena like a rising sun with his unbelievable strength. It wasn’t long before he conquered the continent by himself, making him the only one in history that conquered the whole continent single-handedly! After that, he discarded all other types of martial arts by burning all the books and records about them which were carefully stored by many different countries and martial artists. He then gathered hundreds of thousands of practitioners of the other martial arts and took ten years to remove all of their memories about the past techniques! From then on, there was only Xuan Qi on the continent!” Mei Xue Yan said with an indescribable tone.

Her words astonished everyone!

“Wow! Bravo!” Jun Mo Xie’s eyes flashed strongly as he took a deep breath in! It was the first time he was so shocked and admired someone so much!

They could only look up to a figure like this until their necks hurt!

Ever since Jun Mo Xie transmigrated to the Xuan Xuan continent, he had never admired someone—not even Mei Xue Yan. But this time, it was very sincere admiration toward the Nine Nether First Young Master!

It was not unreasonable. The Nine Nether First Young Master was an expert among the experts. His prowess was unimaginable!

All the crazy deeds he had done were even out of Jun Mo Xie’s imagination...

“Then, in order to find his apprentice, he created the nine levels of Xuan Qi. In the end, he chose for young men with very different natures as his successors. Three of them are the founders of the three Holy Lands!”

Mei Xue Yan smiled bitterly. “No one knows how long has passed, but the god-like Nine Nether First Young Master completely disappeared from the world. As he was gone, the continent returned to peacefulness. But perhaps since it was the fate of the continent, the peace didn’t last. A hundred years later, the first War for Seizing the Heavens occurred!”

“No wonder! I was wondering why the First Young Master would tolerate such threats from the outside world. Hey, so who’s his fourth apprentice? I’m sure he’s not any weaker than the founders of the three Holy Lands?”

Mei Xue Yan’s tale was so shocking that one would normally lose the ability to continue thinking logically. It was only since Jun Mo Xie was living his second life that he had a very strong heart. As a result, he was able to continue questioning amidst the dazzling facts.

“Of course. The last apprentice is even stronger, because he’s the master of the Misty Illusory Manor!” Mei Xue Yan said expressionlessly.

Everyone was getting numb with the continuous shocks...

“For the first three Wars for Seizing the Heavens, the four apprentices gathered all the heroes of the continent and had the Tian Fa Beast Kings as their ally. They were able to badly hurt the forces of the invaders. But after the third War for Seizing the Heavens, the three Holy Lands had become dominant and they had a large conflict with the descendants of the fourth apprentice!

“With the passage of time, the two sides finally split up and became enemies; a series of battles unfolded for a long time, but the descendants of the fourth apprentice was always weaker and disadvantaged. Eventually they were besieged by the overwhelming three Holy Lands and were in danger of being destroyed. Perhaps it was fate, but they found the entrance to the Misty Illusory Manor just as they were about to be finished.

“The Misty Illusory Manor is a magical location. It completely disappears from the world. It will only appear occasionally to find apprentices. It doesn’t have a gender bias. It will take anyone who’s fated to meet them. Apparently, there’s something special about the Misty Illusory Manor. They have become so much stronger since their first reappearance. The three Holy Lands could never have hope to catch up with them! If not for the War for Seizing the Heavens, the three Holy Lands would have been eradicated long ago...

“They were about to settle everything once and for all after another War for Seizing the Heavens. But someone suddenly popped up from the Nine Nether Sanctuary. He called himself Nine Nether Second Young Master!” Mei Xue Yan smiled bitterly. “His appearance stopped the conflict between the four forces, but created more trouble!

“Nine Nether Second Young Master’s ambition was not even slightly less than Nine Nether First Young Master. He announced his goal of conquering the world immediately after he appeared. But by then, the three Holy Lands and the Misty Illusory Manor had formed their own systems and were unshakable. Moreover, the strength of the Nine Nether Second Young Master was strong, but incomparable to the Nine Nether First Young Master. Furthermore, he was very arrogant and was not even slightly cautious. It sealed his fate.

“Also, the three Holy Lands and the Misty Illusory Manor were the real successors of the First Young Master. They hadn’t even settled it between themselves, so how would they have allowed someone else conquer the continent...”
