Chapter 211 - History Of The Continent-IV
This was the second time Lin Mu had heard about the forbidden continent. He knew that the land beyond the northern mountains was called as the forbidden continent, but thought that it was called so because of the presence of strong beasts.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
He did know that there were still people living in that land, though. From all that he had heard, the forbidden Continent was cold and desolate. It was populated by the beasts that roamed the forests within it. Even in the peak of summers, the forbidden continent was said to be covered with snow and ice.
Lin Mu could hardly think of anyone that would willingly stay in a land like this but now knew that it was not because of their choice but because of what had happened in the past.
"So you mean to say the recent wars that happened, were because of these surviving tribes?" Lin Mu questioned.
"No, they have been happening for far too long than that. You should know about the northern frontier, right? The vermilion legion guards it to prevent these northern tribes from attacking the people of the great Zhou continent." Jing Wei shook his head as he spoke.
Lin Mu finally linked the things together and got a better idea of the situation.
"What happened next?" He questioned.
The people of the Eastern Ming Dynasty found this out and were in an uproar. Still, the princess was wise and understanding. She knew that if she did not follow the orders the consequences would not be good. She decisively crippled her own cultivation, giving her kingdom a saving grace.
The royal family of the Eastern Ming Dynasty was in tears over her sacrifice and vowed to take to revenge in the future tenfold. Still, they gritted their teeth and held on. But the relationship between the two kingdoms stayed tense.
Eventually, the Zhou kingdom took over all the kingdoms on the continent under it and became the Great Zhou Empire.
Three thousand years passed as such in relative peace until when the people from the forbidden Continent acted. The remnants of the Grand northern alliance had somehow united again and had unearthed the relics of the Yao clan.
Using these very relics, they made shrines that they then used to summon more invaders. Over the years, the barrier of the world had gotten weaker and some flaws in it could be found. The Northern tribes used these very flaws and tried to summon invaders from other worlds.
This time though, the empire was ready and so were the cultivation sects as well. For far too long had they been waiting, and finally it had come. They thought that the prophecy was finally coming true. A great war was fought back then, and even I fought in it on the front lines.
My clan had long been dedicated to fighting against the invaders and specialized in refining spirit tools and forging spirit weapons. We were the ones that supplied weapons to the empire and to the sects as well.
It was during this time that I had my first encounter with a being that was beyond the immortal ascension realm. We were in a shrine that the invaders were using to summon invaders. The being in question was a beast that was beyond the immortal ascension realm and had nearly broken through the world barrier.
Still, with a great sacrifice, we were able to stop them. That was the end of the last great war.
It was after that the vermilion legion was formed and deployed in hate northern frontier. A great wall was erected that separated the two continents, which was eventually called the pear’s belt." Jing Wei concluded.
