THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 137's

Towards the end, those in the martial circle could no longer accept losing their people in relentless killing and decided to collaborate together. The Heavenly Wind Continent came out with a combined alliance named ‘Outside Heaven’ as a sect, which united all the sects under the Heavenly Wind Continent under one banner. Under this grand coalition, they had no opponents and destroyed all the individual sects from other continents like breaking dry twigs. ”

“Watching this scenario, the other two continents, of course, did not want to lose and immediately imitated the Heavenly Wind Continent. Heavenly Sun Continent came out with Sect ‘Above Heaven’ and our Heavenly Star Continent came out with ‘Outside Heaven’ as the name of our alliance. Thus, all the martial artists in the three continents were gathered under these three banners, even those reclusive experts. Thus, the curtain for the grand and majestic stage setting, like an unprecedented and never-to-be-repeated rain of blood, was opened! ”

Speaking at this point, Ye QingChen sighed miserably and could not help but pick up the wine jar, pour and down two more cups in a row. On the opposite side, Ling Tian sat quietly, knowing that the fight would happen next.

“The three parties never stop engaging in small battles and people are dying every day. Hostility grows deeper and more irreconcilable. At the same time, the expeditions of the three continents grew increasingly intense. Initially there was still a case of two parties joining against one side, but once an alliance was formed, it was the case of each side for themselves. In the war of the combined forces, the number of citizens for each country was drastically reduced and many of the flourishing and bustling lands were actually turned into a soulless place with no shadow of a person in sight! Eventually, the leaders of the three continents realized that if they continued to fight, the entire world population would eventually die. So, after communicating with each other, they reached a consensus to send out their full strength to do one final battle at sea! One battle to decide everything, the victor will be crowned king, while the loser will be slandered!”

“As soon as this news spread, the whole world was shocked! However, to those who had martial means on the three continents, their hatred had reached an extreme level, where they could not live under the same sky anymore! Those weaker ones had long since perished and even more than half of those unrivalled experts had died in a continuous war! After the three continents published this news, the other martial artists were unwilling to lose and agreed to fight to the death! The set location was on the Heavenly Wind Continent, on some random mountain, with a time similar to the continent-defining battle! However, their definition of victory is different; winners will live, while losers will give their lives! The fight of life and death, no one stops until the others die! ”

Two******* came out from the mouths of Ye QingChen and Ling Tian, at that moment, both of their thoughts had returned, to the moment when their ancestors experienced the final battle. Endless sadness and grief, as well as burning anger! Inevitably they clink their cups, salute and chug the contents at once.

“On that day, the three great sects from each continent each employed a total of twenty thousand people from the scattered sects for a life and death battle. Surprisingly, none of them chose to shirk their responsibilities and organize themselves on the mountain neatly! The Head of the Outer Heaven Sect, Meng KaiTian, was his host. But even before he had the chance to finish his opening speech, those cultivators, upon seeing their nemesis, already flushed in anger, rushed forward to begin a heaven-shaking bloody killing! ”

“In the space used for the final battle, surprisingly, no one ran away from the location, all of them fought to the death! The mist of war surrounded the poor place, enveloping it from all over the sky. A total of seven days and nights were used in this desperate and bitter war and for those from the Heavenly Sun Continent as well as from the Heaven Sect at the Top, all seven thousand of them lost their lives there! This included people who had reached the realm of Saints. Even the sect leader of the Upper Heaven Sect, Yin JueKong, who had broken through from the peak of the XianTian realm was left on that mountain as well!”

“Ssssss...” Ling Tian inhaled a sharp breath of cold air, he had long suspected that the final battle would be cruel beyond belief, but he did not imagine that it would reach this point! The entire continent of martial artists was completely exterminated, even an expert who had broken through to the peak of the XianTian realm was unable to escape! This is absolutely outrageous and unimaginable!

Ye QingChen had a gloomy expression on her face as she continued, “In the end, those remaining no longer have the manpower or resources to continue, At the end of the day, those remaining no longer have the manpower or resources to continue, and those who were still alive did not even have the strength to lift their fingers. The battle was deadlocked and had to be postponed, as those who were still alive barely numbered more than a thousand! They consisted of the leader of the Outer Heaven Sect, as well as two protectors, several scattered members from the various sects, and the leader of the Outer Heaven Sect Sun Zhengyang with nine others; all with severe injuries! They were destined to never recover their peak cultivation. ”

“Faced with a tragic sight that looked like a scene from hell, the two leaders cried sadly! They beat themselves up out of guilt and swore, with a mountain of corpses as witnesses, that their two sects would never take part in any mortal battle ever since. They then ordered all the other sects in the boxer world to never take revenge! From then on, unless they had something important, all martial sects would have to distance themselves from ordinary citizens! The mountain that became the site of the final battle was then renamed the mountain without hatred, to symbolize that everyone who walked down the mountain no longer held grudges in their hearts!”

Ling Tian sighed in astonishment, as it turned out, the reason why this world had no signs of martial arts was because of the battle a millennium ago! So, the story behind this was actually very tragic and grim!

Ye QingChen raised her cup silently, drinking three cups in a row while sighing nonstop. Ling Tian was completely immersed in the experience, thinking of the grand and imposing seniors of the past, riding their warhorses across countless miles of battlefields. He could not help but show bloodlust in his eyes! Being able to participate in such a battle of grandeur, how could there be any regrets in their lives? How can a person be unhappy if they are alive? Or sad if they die?

Ye QingChen was unaware of the bloodlust in Ling Tian's eyes, instead speaking in a low tone slowly, the next “Decades were spent peacefully, as each continent slowly recovered. People with talent appeared once again, each occupying a position of power. Centuries passed, and every continent rose from the ashes, ready for another round of power struggles. However, the difference this time was that no one from any martial sect took part, and this only involved internal power struggles on every continent. So, it's still relatively peaceful. ”

“The cultivators who returned from the mountain without hatred, after returning to their own sects, made wills to be taken down when they returned. It stated that all their children and grandchildren would never be allowed to take part in the imperial war and could never involve themselves in any political battle! They had to live in seclusion, living life as ordinary people. If they do not obey these instructions, they will receive punishment from heaven!”

Ling Tian nodded his head in silence, thinking inwardly, ‘Those lucky few are really senior wisdom. Although the will is hard, it can guarantee that their family remains prosperous, without the possibility of being destroyed!’

“However, among these several sects and martial families, there are two powers whose main characters were killed by the other party. Thus, their hatred is irreconcilable and without the possibility of compromise. Although the Outer Heaven Sect of the Heavenly Wind, as well as the Heaven Transcending Sect of the Heavenly Star stepped in to mediate, they were unable to reach a consensus!

“Leaved without choice, the two super sects can only set some rules: Both families are not allowed to take part in any personal duel. But once every sixty years, the two families would deploy 10 representatives for the battle and the loser would have to award the prize to the young generation of the victor. As for those involved in the battle, their life and death would be decided by heaven and no one was allowed to take revenge in secret, or create trouble! If any rules were broken, the Outer Heaven Sect and the Outer Heaven Sect would join hands and flatten the two families to the ground, letting them disappear into history! Over the past thousands of years, both families have followed this deal, which is why this place is much more peaceful!”

“Dare I ask Senior, these two parties, which one?” Ling Tian held onto his cup gently, seemingly asking ordinary questions, but he had already determined those houses as the Yu Family of the Northern Wei Empire, as well as ‘Heavenly Wind Water’. Ling Tian could not help but think of what Xue Leng said that night, ‘Thousand-year agreement by our ancestors, a sixty-year battle of three generations!’ Are they the same thing?

Indeed, Ye QingChen confirmed his suspicions, “The two houses are the Yu Family, who live in the Northern Wei Empire of the Heavenly Star Continent, as well as the thousand-year-old martial families of the Heavenly Wind Continent, the Heavenly Wind Continent, The Shui family, nicknamed ‘Heavenly Wind Water. ‘! In the past, they were known as: ‘Heavenly Wind Water, Heavenly Star Jade. When water meets jade, no one will escape!’ When this sentence is made, no one is unconscious or no one does not understand its meaning!”

Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘Indeed, that's the problem!’ But instead, he asked another question, “I know that martial arts Master is very close to the peak Saint Realm. May I ask, what do you think of the martial arts of the world today? What is your assessment, and how do you judge it?”

Ye QingChen simply sighed, “Peak? Sacred Realm? How many people actually dared to pass judgment? This old man never wanted to be too humble, and I also once asked myself why I could not reach the top. It could have been due to the ferocious battle a millennium ago, which resulted in great losses in the martial arts constitutions of the three great continents. Almost 70% or 80% of the top grade skills and manuals had gone extinct because of that, never to reappear among the human race!
