"The first was a little over ten years ago. In the Southwestern Ancient City, the righteous disciples led by the Heavenly Dao Sect fought a huge battle against the demonic disciples led by the Fire Dragon Palace. They say there were heavy casualties, and it even triggered the Millennium Beast Calamity. Only a dozen or so cultivators escaped," the cultivator said quietly.
"What happened afterward?" Li Xiaoya asked quickly, startled to hear that the events of that year had spread throughout the Cultivation World.
"Actually, I don't know the details. I was still young then, and I only heard my elders mention it now and again." The cultivator could only give a wry smile. After a pause, he continued, "Apparently, it caused quite a stir back then. Everyone involved was at the Core Condensation Stage, after all. Both the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Fire Dragon Palace suffered considerable losses, and there have been quite a few clashes between them in recent years."
"Oh, do you know anything else about what happened in the Southwestern Ancient City? Was there any mention of a cultivator named Ma Weiqi?" Li Xiaoya asked eagerly.
"Uh, I don't know anything about that," the cultivator said with a frown.
"Oh." Li Xiaoya felt deeply disappointed.
"What other news is there about the Heavenly Dao Sect?" Zhang Hong asked from beside him.
"There was also a cultivator from the Heavenly Dao Sect named Liu Hang who fought two Fire Dragon Palace cultivators on Nine Tribulations Mountain a few years ago. That was a battle between Golden Core Stage Cultivators. They say Liu Hang fought those two Fire Dragon Palace cultivators alone for several days. In the end, his magic power ran low, and only then did he flee," the cultivator said after thinking for a while.
