Chapter 107: The Origin of the Banning Formation
"This time, Bai Moyu didn't leave you guessing."
"He told you that millions of years ago, the Nine Mystic Realm was also one of the great realms of the heavens."
"Back then, the Nine Mystic Realm was filled with immortals, and tribulation crossing was as common as dogs."
"But later, the Nine Mystic Realm was ambushed by the Immortal Clan."
"Caught off guard, the Nine Mystic Realm suffered heavy losses."
"However, the strongest figures of the Nine Mystic Realm quickly organized a counterattack, and that battle shook the heavens and the earth."
"As he spoke, Bai Moyu seemed to fall into a reverie."
"After a long while, he sighed, 'It's a pity that the battlefield was within our Nine Mystic Realm. That battle caused our continent to fracture and the Heavenly Dao to be damaged.'"
"He said that battles between realms are prolonged conflicts. Once the Heavenly Dao is damaged, future Chosen will find it difficult to cultivate."
"But at that time, the strong figures of the Nine Mystic Realm were not overly concerned because their high-end combat power was not inferior to that of the Immortal Realm.""Strong individuals are often arrogant, thinking that if their realm's Heavenly Dao is damaged, they could simply annihilate the Immortal Clan and then wait for the Nine Mystic Realm's Heavenly Dao to recover."
"At this point, Bai Moyu suddenly shouted in anger, 'But the despicable Immortal Clan took advantage of the Nine Mystic Realm's damaged Heavenly Dao. They moved the Immortal Realm here and used its Heavenly Dao to suppress our damaged one.'"
"Hearing this, you were astonished, not expecting such secrets about the Nine Mystic Realm."
"Bai Moyu paused at this point."
"He stared at you for a long time before slowly speaking again."
"He said that although the Nine Mystic Realm fell into an absolute disadvantage after that, the war has not ended and continues to this day."
"He said that several top experts of the Nine Mystic Realm are still holding back the Immortal Realm's masters."
"However, because the Nine Mystic Realm's Heavenly Dao is damaged, there are fewer and fewer rising talents, making the war increasingly difficult."
"His mission is to hide his cultivation and identity, find potential talents, train them, and send excellent talents to the battlefield."
"Then he asked if you had heard of Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya."
"You didn't know why Bai Moyu suddenly mentioned those two seniors, but you nodded, indicating you had heard of them."
"Bai Moyu said that both of them were trained by him."
"At this point, Bai Moyu raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of pride in his expression."
"But you were puzzled."
"According to what you know, Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya were from the Southern Regions. How could they have been trained by Bai Moyu?"
"You knew that during the time of Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya, the sealing formation in the Southern Regions was intact, and there was no connection to the Endless Sea."
"Bai Moyu seemed to see through your thoughts."
"He smiled and said, 'The protective formation in the Southern Regions was left by the ancestors of my Celestial Verdant Sect. Although I can't break it, I can still send things inside.'"
"He said that the inheritances of Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya were sent into the Southern Regions by him."
"Otherwise, no matter how talented they were, without powerful cultivation methods, how could they have made such a great name for themselves and even broken the protective formation of the Southern Regions together?"
"'What? The sealing formation in the Southern Regions was set up by your sect?' you exclaimed instinctively."
"The sealing formation in the Southern Regions was left by the ancestors of the Celestial Verdant Sect?"
"You felt a sense of disarray, wondering if your previous theories needed to be completely overturned."
"Hearing your exclamation, Bai Moyu sighed and said that the original sealing formation in the Southern Regions was actually a protective formation."
"It was indeed set up by a powerful ancestor of the Celestial Verdant Sect."
"Bai Moyu said that the formation was meant to protect the Southern Regions, allowing its people to cultivate to higher realms and give back to the Nine Mystic Realm."
"But unfortunately, that ancestor was ambushed and killed by the Immortal Realm before he could pass on the control techniques for the formation."
"As a result, what was originally a protective formation turned into a sealing formation and fell into the hands of the Immortal Realm."
"However, because the formation was very strong, only a few powerful beings could enter the Southern Regions, while ordinary Immortals found it difficult."
"So, the Immortals usually attacked the people of the Southern Regions with Heavenly Thunder from outside the formation."
"Hearing this, you recalled the information you had obtained from previous simulations."
"After thinking for a long time, you felt that what Bai Moyu said seemed to match the previous situations."
"In previous simulations, aside from two instances of giant hands covering the sky and one instance of a giant foot attacking the Southern Regions, it seemed that no other Immortals had attacked the people of the Southern Regions."
"But you still felt something was off."
"According to Bai Moyu, your previous theory about a grand scheme by powerful beings might need to be overturned."
"If that's the case, why didn't the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm directly destroy the Southern Regions?"
"Unable to figure it out, you decided to ask directly."
"So, you voiced your doubt and asked Bai Moyu why the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm didn't directly attack the Southern Regions."
"You thought that a strong person like Bai Moyu, who had told you so much, wouldn't bother to deceive you. After all, who would go to such lengths to deceive an ant?"
"Bai Moyu laughed heartily upon hearing your question."
"He said, 'Did you forget that I just told you that the Nine Mystic Realm's powerful beings are not fewer than those of the Immortal Realm?'"
"Even if the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm wanted to attack, they would have to consider that while they were attacking the Southern Regions, the powerful beings of the Nine Mystic Realm would also attack other areas of the Immortal Realm."
"It's all about mutual balance."
"Bai Moyu's words resolved some of your doubts."
"But you still felt something was missing."
"You remembered the information you got from Shen Wutian, which said that after two powerful beings talked, one created the Immortal Arrival Sect, and the other captured four fierce beasts to block the gaps in the sealing formation."
"This didn't seem like protecting the Southern Regions!"
"Perhaps sensing your doubt, Bai Moyu continued."
"He said that after Mo Jingtian and Lu Wuya broke the formation in the Southern Regions, the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm originally intended to destroy the Southern Regions directly."
"But at the critical moment, the powerful beings of the Nine Mystic Realm arrived. After negotiations, the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm created the Immortal Arrival Sect, forbidding the people of the Southern Regions from cultivating."
"They feared that more Chosen would emerge, disrupting their plans to invade the Nine Mystic Realm."
"And the powerful beings of the Nine Mystic Realm captured four fierce beasts to block the formation's gaps and established an agreement that the Immortal Arrival Sect and the fierce beasts would not interfere with each other."
"At this point, Bai Moyu fell silent for a moment."
"He said he didn't know the exact purpose of the Nine Mystic Realm's powerful beings."
"But he speculated on one possibility: 'Poison Cultivation!'"
"He said that the current situation in the Nine Mystic Realm is dire, and he suspected that the powerful being wanted to use the high-pressure environment to cultivate a 'King of Poison' in the Southern Regions."
