System: Arena of the Gods

Chapter 1082 History

Wang Chu rubbed three cold metal booklets. His palms first paused slightly on "Biographies", and then pressed on "Records of Major Events".

As for "Introduction to Cultivation", he doesn't care at all. After all, he is now one of the top figures in the world. What use can these basic arguments be?

He almost turned over from the table and sat on the stool. Then he carefully opened the "Record of Major Events" to see what role this second-rate sect had played in history.

He didn't recognize the words written inside, but the metal could engrave the spirit. The writer used the pen as a tool and the words as seals to contain the spiritual power, so he could understand the meaning simply by sensing it.

You don’t know it by looking at it, but you can’t help but marvel at it. This sect was once the best. About 3000 years ago, at the last glorious moment of the spiritual world, it was ranked among the top five of all spiritual sects.

At that time, normal historical records should belong to the Western Zhou Dynasty. According to a classic novel about gods and demons, there was indeed a glorious history of spiritual practice during that period, but people today only regard it as a novel about supernatural beings. The remakes of film and television dramas have also received mixed reviews from audiences.

At that time, cultivation was not called cultivation, but cultivation of immortality. Using the current concept, practitioners only wanted to become gods and ascend. Even though there were many sects, they were all detached from the world and would not easily interfere with the changes of dynasties.

But there are exceptions to everything. The dispute over Chinese orthodoxy between King Zhou and the Ji family's army lasted for many years. Many of the mythical characters that the two sides attracted each other turned out to be real, but they were from different sects.

But in fact, most of those characters are not very magical. They are generally only at the level of nourishing the spirit. Some top characters can reach the concentration state, and only a few powerful and unparalleled characters have reached the divine level.

It's just that later generations learned about that dusty history through some neglected unofficial records, and exaggerated the strength of the cultivators based on their own imagination, allowing some mediocre characters to display earth-shattering strength.

However, the final scene of becoming a god actually happened in the history of spiritual practice.

That list does not exist and is purely fictitious. It was just at the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty that the vitality of this world began to dissipate and gradually entered the Age of Ending Dharma. But before that, a door to ascension appeared out of thin air, and a large number of cultivators jumped over the dragon gate like fish. , one after another broke the shackles, stepped into the divine realm, and crossed this door.

But those characters never appeared again, and no one knew whether they had really succeeded in ascension. All that was left to future generations were endless reveries. Later generations of cultivators lamented that they were born too late and wished they could have been born in that era.

The process of energy dissipation is long, and some unlucky sects have not found a suitable secret realm to escape from the world, so they have to stay in reality.

This sect was just unlucky and did not find a suitable secret realm at the beginning. The reason can be summed up in one word: "greed".

They want to find a secret realm that can accommodate the entire sect and develop for a long time. They cannot say that they are wishful thinking, they can only say that the requirements are too high.

There were three inferences about the formation of the secret realm at that time. One of the possibilities is that before the gods ascended, the area affected by their own power gradually developed into a blessed land through the precipitation of time, and then the cave sky was formed by chance.

At that time, the secret realm was not called a secret realm, but a cave. There are two other possibilities for the formation of the cave. One is that it evolved from a naturally formed blessed land, and the other is that it can be achieved by the practice of a great religion after hundreds of years of influence. .

This sect sent many people to collect relevant information, analyze the areas where the cave might appear, and then search with clear goals, but they always went astray. This delay lasted for 200 years.

When China experienced the demon disaster, this sect had not yet found a suitable secret realm, so in order not to affect the plan, it also sent a top team to quell the demon disaster.

At this point, it is almost the same as the explanations of Snake Dragon Ancestor and Jiang Beichen, both of whom said that a demonic disaster broke out 500 years ago.

The cause of the demon disaster is purely due to the gradual lack of vitality and the gradual lack of cultivation environment. In order to compete for cultivation resources and seize the cultivation environment, land demons and sea beasts all attack humans, and the conflict is out of control.

The best among them are, to put it bluntly, cowards and do not dare to try the path to ascension.

Later, during the demonic disaster that swept through China, the sect's combat power was greatly damaged and it could no longer maintain its aloof status, so it chose a cave that it had not taken a fancy to before.

However, before escaping from the world, this sect united with other powerful sects to put pressure on secular rulers, demanding that the existence of the history of practice be erased.

The reasons are no longer traceable. Even if Wang Chu has his own guesses, they cannot be regarded as the real concerns of the various sects at the time.

In "Record of Major Events", Wang Chu did find many sects that were closely related to or had enmity with this sect, but unfortunately, Wang Chu had never even heard of many of them, indicating that they had long since disappeared in history. Or it was annexed by surrounding forces at the beginning of its birth.

There are also some who have fallen to the level of the lowest sects, and it is estimated that they will not be able to survive this sect's turmoil.

Thinking about it carefully, Wang Chu was actually not surprised. After all, these sects were in the early stages of the Dharma Ending Era, and most of the high-quality Cave Heaven Secret Realms were owned. If they were unlucky and couldn't find a place to hide, they would have to choose to blend in with the ordinary people. The human group will die with the end of Dharma.

Some of the current folk skills and secrets should have come from such an unlucky sect.

It is precisely because of the existence of such sects that practitioners can emerge intermittently in later generations, so that the practice is not interrupted, and then the predecessor organization of the Special Bureau and the Special Bureau appear, so that they can withstand the chaos in the early stage of the recovery of vitality.

As for those sects with better luck, even if they find the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, it is inevitable that they will eventually become weak and desolate due to various factors such as resource reserves.

There are only a few sects that should be rated as second-rate now, but since the coalition can capture a second-rate sect, they don't care about a few more sects. Presumably, even if those sects know the news, they will not dare to act rashly.

Wang Chu now says that there is no surprise in his heart, and he himself will not believe it.

Therefore, what he thought before was not wrong. Even some weak sects should not be underestimated. Maybe they were also tyrannical existences that dominated the world before.

Taoism and Taoism are different. By coincidence, the coalition forces actually destroyed a powerful Taoism that was the most powerful 3000 years ago. Is it fate?Or give up?

Apart from this, the major events of the sect recorded in "Record of Major Events" are not of much use to Wang Chu. They are just for reference and analysis.

After flipping through the booklet, Wang Chu picked up the "Biography of Characters" and flipped through it.

After a general glance, Wang Chu had a headache. The characters recorded in it were all people from 3000 years ago. Even if they were once brilliant, they are just dust now.

Moreover, many of the personal information recorded in it deviate from the results of the major events in the sect.

Wang Chu has all the useful information engraved in his mind. Now there is only one "Introduction to Cultivation" left, and he is debating whether to open it or not.
