Chapter 179: The Continent Secrets.

"I know you must be wondering why we couldn’t comprehend the rules, right?" his mother asked.

Mo Jian nodded. This was one of his questions.

"According to rumors and legend, something happened in ancient times that severed the rules of our world. Therefore, cutting off our path."

"No matter how talented you are, without rules, you can’t become Nascent Soul cultivators. However, many people were unwilling."

"Mother, are you saying there are no Nascent Soul cultivators in our world?" Mo Jian couldn’t help but ask.

"There might be." This time, it was his father who replied.

"Those ancient clans in the central might have a Nascent Soul cultivator in their clans. But we’re not sure."

"Since they have a long lifespan, everyone believes they became Nascent Soul cultivators during that perilous time. But there are rumors..." He paused and looked at his wife.

She nodded and he continued. "There are rumors that some of the ancient clans found a way to comprehend rules."

Mo Jian widened his eyes in disbelief. "Really?!"

"Yes." His father nodded. "But no one knew whether it was true or false. Even if they found a way to comprehend a rule, everyone believes they would be weak."

"Why?"

"Since the world’s rules had been severed. Using a shortcut or another method will only make them a false Nascent Soul cultivator," he explained.

Huh!

Mo Jian took a deep breath. The more he learned, the more complicated it got.

’But let’s think of it. If the powerful ancient clans could cultivate Nascent Soul cultivators, they would have dominated the world many years ago.’

’Also, everyone would have seen the Nascent Soul experts instead of them covering it in mysteries.’

Coming out of his thoughts, he asked, "So, what does this have to do with the impending danger?"

"Everything," his mother responded.

"Since many were unwilling to be stuck at the peak of the Golden Core Realm for the rest of their lives, they began to look for alternatives even at the expense of the world and innocent lives."

"To stop this, many powerful sects and clans banded together to fight them. They labeled them the evil cultivators. Don’t get me wrong, there were already evil sects then, but their actions were not as evil as this."

"Branding them as evil cultivators or sects allowed the world to go against them. After years of battle, the continent flowed with blood. They were able to defeat them."

"But that was short-lived. A few decades later, the Vengeful Spirits appeared. At first, no one took them seriously, but when they killed thousands of people, turning fertile into barren land, the world was alarmed."

"It was then the world learned of the netherworld gateway. According to them, if they allowed the Vengeful Spirits to dominate our world, the rules of their world would flow into ours, and then, we could comprehend, which would allow them to break through."

"That’s insane!" Mo Jian said without thinking.

"Indeed, they were crazy and selfish," his mother nodded. "With the appearance of the netherworld, all the powers in the world went against the evil sects as they tried to destroy all the netherworld gates."

"But the evil sects were cunning. After many years of battle, the orthodox sects destroyed all the gateways, and the evil sects scattered everywhere, hiding."

"This is the real reason for the Assembly Summit—to combat those crazy evil sects and discuss how to break the chains on our neck."

When she completed her narration, she took a sip from her spirit tea to soothe her throat.

Mo Jian did not speak immediately as he was processing the huge secret he just learned. His parents did not rush him as they waited patiently for him to digest everything.

"How did the evil sects get the ancient formation to create the netherworld in the first place?" Mo Jian asked, breaking the silence.

"No one knows. Back then, there were many inheritance caves. They must have discovered it in one of them," his father responded.

Mo Jian nodded and questioned, "I want to know. Is it our continent’s rules that were severed or the entire world’s?"

His parents were stunned. They did not expect him to ask such a question. People that have not reached the limit of the world would not ask such a question.

To many, these regions were the entire world; only a few knew it was merely a single continent.

Yet, their son was already asking.

How did he know in the first place? they thought and looked at each other.

His father sighed. They underestimated Mo Jian’s intelligence. Still, they did not have the intention of hiding the truth from him.

"According to what we know, it is only our continent. As for other continents, no one knows since they are too far away from us."

"However, many believe it is only our continent, and the other continents’ rules were not severed."

"How did they know?" Mo Jian asked.

If they did not know the location of the other continents, how could they tell?

This time around, it was his mother who responded.

"Do you know why you could find such quality spirit veins in our border forest?" she asked.

Mo Jian shook his head. "No, Mother, please enlighten me."

"The western forest was called the Never-Ending Forest a long time ago. When people were desperate to escape, many peak Golden Core experts ventured deep into the forest but none came back."

"According to rumors, there are many beasts that are stronger than a Golden Core expert. Apart from that, the journey is filled with unimaginable danger."

"Some even tried to fly over it but were killed before they even got to the central area of the forest. Looking at the forest from high above, the only thing you can see is an endless forest."

"But that’s not all. Those from the central region took another approach. They took the sea route. They merely traveled a thousand miles before they were killed by terrifying sea beasts."

"There are many cases of people trying, but they were all killed by beasts stronger than a Golden Core expert. And this made everyone believe beyond our continent, there is a complete world."
