"Back then, the Primordial Ultimate Heavenly Sect was also incredibly glorious, and its strength was in no way inferior to that of my Kunlun lineage."
Daoist Lingyun sighed:
"And this powerful holy land, overnight, turned into a den of demons, its vast expanse reduced to ruins, with not a single survivor."
He learned all of this from an elder of Kunlun.
There is also a record of this matter on the top floor of the Zongnai Library.
Han Xuanji frowned, realizing that things were not simple, and asked:
"What a calamity this is, that even such a sacred place cannot avert it..."
"This is a calamity of heaven and earth, which naturally cannot be resolved by human power."
Then, without keeping everyone in suspense, Daoist Lingyun revealed:
"And all of this relates to things much further back in time."
"In the primordial era, the Great Void Spirit Realm was invaded by the Devil Race, and the Nine Provinces Continent was also the initial site of Devil Race invasion. Countless Devil Abyss were born, billions of lives perished, and the Nine Provinces Continent was stained with blood."
"Fortunately, five True Immortal descended and set up restrictions to seal the five most powerful Devil Abyss. They then created the Five Great Dao Lineages to educate the world, which were the predecessors of the Five Holy Lands. The fundamental purpose of our Holy Lands is to suppress one of the Primordial Devil Abyss each."
"The Primordial Devil Abyss that the Primordial Ultimate Heavenly Sect was suppressing went wrong, not only destroying itself but also bringing calamity to the world. Fortunately, the four holy lands joined forces with a peerless expert to repair the restriction, but it is unknown how many people were sacrificed."
"From that day on, none of our holy sites dared to relax their vigilance in the slightest."
"As you see, although Kunlun has many powerful figures, these senior ancestors almost all need to stay in front of the Devil Abyss to merge with the formation and maintain the seal."
They were terrified that any mishap would cause the Devil Abyss to spiral out of control and lead to a catastrophe.
Therefore..."
True Person Lingyun's tone was heavy and helpless.
"Our various holy lands may appear powerful, but in reality, the power we can freely mobilize is far less than outsiders imagine. It's not that we don't care about world affairs, but rather that our responsibilities are too heavy."
"If the Devil Abyss is thrown into chaos, that would be a true catastrophe."
"I see."
Han Xuanji nodded, and at the same time guessed something:
"So, the Blood Spirit Devil Lord has escaped from the Devil Abyss?"
True Person Lingyun nodded and said:
"That Blood Spirit Devil Lord once stirred up a bloodbath in the Central Province, and even began to explore the secrets of the Devil Abyss. In the end, only one of my Kunlun's patriarchs, who guarded the Devil Abyss, could suppress him. However, this demon was quite cunning and escaped to the Sunken Devil Abyss of Sunken Devil Abyss, which was the Primordial Devil Abyss that the Primordial Ultimate Heavenly Sect had once suppressed."
The Ancestor Ziyang also spoke up:
"I thought that this demon would surely die if he entered, but I didn't expect him to find a way back."
At this point, even the Ancestor Ziyang felt a lingering fear.
Fortunately, the Blood Spirit Devil Lord did not completely destroy the Devil Abyss's restrictions. If it had attracted the creatures of the Devil Abyss and caused a calamity, it would have plunged the world into chaos and caused all living beings to fall into ruin.
In fact, when Kunlun Immortal Sect besieged Blood Spirit Devil Lord that day, they had already drawn some of the powerful guards who were guarding the Devil Abyss Primordial Devil Abyss.
Normally, the Sunken Devil Abyss is also guarded by powerful figures, with the four holy lands taking turns sending people to guard it.
However, the Blood Spirit Devil Lord was incredibly powerful. When he escaped from the Devil Abyss, he took advantage of the fact that the powerful guards of the Devil Abyss were not paying attention and ambushed and seriously injured them.
Han Xuanji could also sense the heavy responsibility conveyed between the lines.
If you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight.
The four holy sites truly deserve the title of "holy sites".
It was Han Xuanji who had misunderstood them.
"The Holy Land has suppressed the Devil Abyss for ten thousand years, protecting the peace of this world; its Wuliang."
Han Xuanji spoke slowly, his tone filled with admiration.
This tribute is paid to the countless Kunlun ancestors who sacrificed themselves to protect all living beings.
People say that the holy land is high above, occupying a high position but doing nothing.
It seems the world is indeed ignorant.
In reality, the Holy Land naturally wouldn't publicize such things too much.
If the matter of the Primordial Devil Abyss attracts the attention of some madmen, it will only bring trouble.
"I was previously unaware of the reasons behind this, and I thought that all the holy lands were aloof and indifferent to worldly affairs; I was truly ignorant."
Han Xuanji stood up and bowed slightly in greeting.
"Senior, you flatter me. Guarding the Devil Abyss is the very meaning of Kunlun's existence."
True Person Lingyun quickly rose to return the greeting.
Then he changed the subject, looking at Han Xuanji with a hint of eagerness in his eyes:
"Senior's cultivation is profound, his Immortal Method are exquisite, and his Sword Dao is unparalleled, leaving us in awe. However, Kunlun has a long history and contains countless treasured books and secret realms."
If you don't mind, could you...?
True Person Lingyun didn't say it explicitly, but his intention to recruit him was obvious.
Although their Kunlun Immortal Sect has many powerful figures, they won't cause much more trouble.
Especially this unfathomable peerless Sword Immortal immortal, they naturally wanted to bring him into their ranks, as it was crucial for both fighting against the Devil Abyss and strengthening their sect's power.
Most importantly, Han Xuanji's past achievements all prove that he has a benevolent heart to protect the common people.
True Person Lingyun felt that after saying so much, Han Xuanji shouldn't refuse.
At that moment, he stared intently at Han Xuanji.
Han Xuanji was as clear-headed as a mirror and naturally understood what the other party meant.
"I'm used to a carefree life, so I'll pass... But if Kunlun is in trouble, feel free to let me know."
Han Xuanji politely declined.
Just kidding, if he Kunlun Immortal Sect and then benefits from it, wouldn't he have to give something in return?
Although he admired these people, he had no desire to become like them, spending his days guarding the Devil Abyss.
Besides, he can still sign in even without Kunlun Immortal Sect...
Of course, he wouldn't stand idly by if the Kunlun Immortal Sect were in trouble.
Han Xuanji politely declined, but expressed her willingness to establish a good relationship.
Although True Person Lingyun was somewhat disappointed, he knew that this matter could not be forced.
A genuine smile appeared on his face:
"Senior, you are truly virtuous. You are welcome to stay at my Kunlun Immortal Sect for as long as you wish. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask."
True Person Lingyun believed that if Han Xuanji stayed at the Kunlun Immortal Sect for a while, he might change his mind.
Then, seemingly feeling that wasn't enough, he continued:
" The Divine Profound Sect is also a prestigious and righteous sect. Kunlun has long admired its reputation. Kunlun is willing to forge an eternal alliance with the Divine Profound Sect, exchange resources, and the exchange of disciples between the two sects would be a wonderful thing."
"Um."
Han Xuanji nodded silently.
"It is truly an honor for our clan to establish diplomatic relations with Kunlun."
Without the slightest hesitation, Han Xuanji agreed to the matter.
For the Divine Profound Sect, this was undoubtedly "climbing above their station".
Although the Divine Profound Sect is considered a prestigious holy land in the Eastern Cang Province, it is only second-rate in the Nine Provinces and insignificant in the world. On the other hand, the Kunlun Immortal Sect is a colossal entity, a top-tier holy land in the world.
If a disciple of the Divine Profound Sect could go to the Kunlun Immortal Sect to "study abroad" as an "exchange student," it would be considered a great fortuitous opportunity.
Han Xuanji had no reason to refuse.
"If Xuanweizi and the others knew, I wonder how happy they would be."
