The Ravine Realm's cultivator lineage had never been severed since ancient times. Thus, while they could not claim complete clarity regarding matters of antiquity, their records were exceedingly comprehensive.
Whether in the records of various parties or in tales passed down by the elders, there was mention of an enlightened immortal who had taught them writing and rites, guided them in cultivating the Dao methods, and helped them fend off foreign enemies.
Even now, preaching steles lost in the wilderness could occasionally be found across the Earth Continent. They had been left behind by tribes that had long since perished in the river of history.
Yet after the cultivators of the Earth Continent had achieved success in their Dao methods, that person was never seen again. As a result, opinions differed widely over that person's true identity.
Some believed that this had merely been a cultivator who had walked ahead of the rest, whose cultivation had been somewhat higher than that of the people of the time, and that he was not nearly as mysterious as the ancients had made him out to be. Their evidence was that although the Dao methods on the steles were profound, they were not incomprehensible. As everyone's Dao methods rose ever higher, the steles were left with only a role in worship.
Others believed that this person's cultivation had been so high that ordinary people could scarcely imagine it. Judging by the events he had experienced before and after, if he had indeed been the same person, then he had spanned at least over a hundred thousand years. What cultivator could possess such a long lifespan?
Thus, they speculated that after attaining the Dao, he had gone beyond the heavens in pursuit of an even loftier Dao path.
