A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Reborn in the Giant Sword Sect-Puppets
The Far West, as its name suggested, lay at the westernmost edge of the Heavenly South continent.
This land covered an area the size of two medium-sized countries. For the past ten thousand years, the entire Far West had been occupied by the Thousand Bamboo Sect.
It was said that neither the Righteous and Demonic Paths nor any other sects coveted this region because its resources were relatively sparse, and the Hurricane Desert separating it from the rest of the continent made travel terribly inconvenient. It was the sort of territory that was tasteless to eat, yet a pity to throw away.
In truth, however, the Great Evolution Divine Monarch had won the entire Far West through his own strength.
Ten thousand years ago, both the Righteous and Demonic Paths had maintained a presence in the Far West. Later, the Great Evolution Divine Monarch fought the two men then hailed as the strongest cultivators of the righteous and demonic factions in the Heavenly South. Single-handedly, he beat them into utter submission, until they willingly ceded the Far West to him as a foundation for his sect and withdrew every force under their command.
Not only that, the Great Evolution Divine Monarch also forced the two men to swear solemn oaths that none of their disciples or descendants would enter the Far West for ten thousand years.
The two men had no choice. Outmatched, they could only hold their noses and accept it, and they truly did restrain their respective forces in accordance with the agreement.
Now, ten thousand years had passed, yet neither righteous nor demonic forces had established themselves here. Whether their successors were truly honoring that ancient agreement or had some other reason was impossible to say.
