Pandaria, a mysterious continent slightly smaller than Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, is home to a variety of bizarre creatures, including Pandaren, Mantid, Mogu, Jinyu, Hozen, Taunka, and Earth Goblin.
Before the explosion of the Well of Eternity, Pandaria, like the Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, and Northrend, was a single, circular continent, also known as the Ancient Kalimdor.
That massive explosion sank a large portion of the landmass, turning the Ancient Kalimdor into four continents and countless islands.
Kalimdor was the territory of the Night Elf, while the Eastern Kingdoms later saw the emergence of Dwarves, Gnomes, and humans, and Northrend became the domain of dragons.
Pandaria, and all its inhabitants and all its races, were forever separated from the outside world, becoming an independent world.
After Y'Shaarj's death, its heart was taken to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in Pandaria by the Highkeeper Ra, who sealed it away, intending to study it in order to find a way to completely destroy the Old Gods.
Because of his heart condition, the entirety of Pandaria is filled with the power of the Old Gods, the power of seven negative emotions:
Doubt, despair, fear, anger, hatred, violence, and pride.
Everyone experiences these emotions.
Although Y'Shaarj is dead, he has actually become one with all living beings in the world.
This is what Titans said:
The Old Gods have become one with Azeroth, inseparable from it, and can never be truly destroyed.
Because negative emotions cannot be eliminated.
As long as living beings exist, negative emotions will grow.
Shaohao, the new Pandaren emperor after the cataclysmic collapse, was also an extremely remarkable figure.
Extremely rare mortals who ascend to godhood.
With the help of four August Celestials and his friend, the Monkey King, he expelled the negative emotions from his body.
These seven negative emotions merged with the power of the Old Gods of Pandaria, transforming into seven Sha Demigod.
Later, Shaohao defeated six of them, but he could not defeat Sha of Pride.
He knew that the Pandaren had to stay away from the outside world's disturbances and wars, maintain a calm mind, and eliminate negative emotions in order to firmly suppress the Sha.
He was willing to sacrifice everything for this.
Under the guidance of the Jade Serpent, he merged with Pandaria.
His essence transformed into a vast mist, tightly binding Pandaria, so that even the spirit of Demigod could not penetrate it.
Although he no longer exists, he has always been there in reality.
He is the Mist of Pandaria.
For ten thousand years, Shaohao has been silently protecting the entire Pandaria and his people.
He founded the Shado-Pan and trained Pandaren soldiers to guard the Sha.
He witnessed the Mantid's century-long cycle, and watched as the sleeping Mogu continued to brew the most terrifying threat.
He knew that he could not protect this continent forever, because for tens of thousands of years, although the Pandaren had maintained a peaceful mind, negative emotions had been accumulating, and the power of the seven Sha had grown stronger and stronger.
Even the August Celestials could not destroy these Sha, Pandaren face an increasingly terrifying threat.
These threats must be eliminated.
This person is not August Celestials, because even August Celestials's power is limited;
This person is not Taran Zhu either, because Taran Zhu is even weaker than the August Celestials.
This person was certainly not himself, because even after ten thousand years, he still could not defeat the Sha of Pride.
This person couldn't possibly be among the Pandaren; they must be an outsider.
Now, he has met that person.
The enormous Shen-zin Su finally approached the mist, but did not enter it.
Because it's too dangerous.
Any amplified negative emotions may lead to the appearance of Sha.
Although the Temple of the Five Dawns contains many records about the Sha, these Pandaren have been away from Pandaria for far too long, far removed from the Sha's harassment. Who cares about such things anymore?
Who can remember these things?
The Pandaren is calm and peaceful.
But negative emotions also arise. Moreover, the island isn't just inhabited by Pandaren; there are also Hozen and other creatures.
Once we enter the mist and get close to Pandaria, under the influence of the Heart of Y'Shaarj and the power of the seven Sha, many lesser Sha will appear, causing chaos and countless deaths.
So, it's best to stay away!
If any Pandaren want to travel to Pandaria to visit their kin whom they haven't seen for hundreds of years, they can go by boat or in a balloon.
Jiang Jie absolutely must go to Pandaria.
He came here for this.
"Anyone entering Pandaria must maintain inner peace. Any growth of negative emotions will breed Sha. The stronger the negative emotions and the stronger one's own power, the stronger the Sha that will be generated."
Jiang Jie said, "So, never think that just because you're strong, you can disregard my words. Fenna, Uncle Chen, and even you, you need to control your emotions... I think you can all do it, can't you?"
"I've heard Lorewalker Cho tell the story of Emperor Shaohao, and I also know everything about the Sha."
Old Chen nodded and said, "I'll control my emotions... as long as Li Li doesn't cause trouble."
Fenna nodded and said, "I can do it."
Fenna received knightly training from a young age and possesses all the virtues of a knight.
Jiang Jie wasn't worried about her.
Jiang Jie wasn't worried about Li Li either; the little girl was simple-minded and didn't have many negative emotions.
Master Shang Xi will not leave the Wandering Isle, and Ji and Aysa will not go ashore; they will take care of their child.
The only ones who truly want to make it ashore are Jiang Jie, Fenna, Old Chen, Li Li, and Huangyi.
Little Huangyi is too young to experience negative emotions.
Jiang Jie was most worried about himself.
He had doubts, unsure whether he could break through to the Martial Arts Myth, or whether there was any way to deal with the Old Gods.
He had also despaired, because Sargeras possessed the ability to easily destroy planets—how could he possibly fight against such power?
I was truly afraid when facing Sargeras.
Although he maintains inner peace most of the time, he can be angry at times.
There are few people in this world who are worthy of his hatred, but he is not without Abomination, the most Abomination being the Old Gods.
As his power grew, he became increasingly inclined to resolve everything through violence.
There is no doubt that the growth of power inevitably brings inner pride.
He experienced all seven negative emotions.
With such immense power, his inner negative emotions must also be incredibly strong.
Once he enters Pandaria, he will inevitably be targeted by all seven Sha.
However...
So what?
How can one become Martial Arts Myth without thoroughly resolving the seven negative emotions within oneself?
This step had to be taken eventually.
"Let's go, we're going to Pandaria!"
