797: C797 Is the Legend True?

C797 Is the Legend True?

"As for the war in Ancient Times, only those who had participated in it themselves would know what was going on."

Ren Xiao shook his head and said, "There's no need to doubt whether the legend is true or not. It's just that it's a legend after all. There will be some discrepancies and deviations between it and the truth."

Lin Cheng couldn't help but think about it.

In the ancient records of Longevity Sect, it was also recorded that the war in Ancient Times was because of the invasion of the devils. However, he wasn't sure if those devils came from the outer regions. That was why he said that the legends of Ancient Times might be biased.

However, these records were very important to Lin Cheng.

This was because his understanding of the devils and the war in the Ancient Times didn't only come from the ancient records of the sect that Ren Xiao mentioned. It also came from the legends that were spread among the people.

More importantly, it came from Spirit Rhinoceros King's words.

Although Longevity Sect had been established for more than a thousand years, Ren Xiao had to admit that there was still a long way to go before the war in Ancient Times.

Even if it was just hearsay, he might have misheard it, let alone the fact that such a long period of time had passed.

Strictly speaking, the records of the Longevity Sect and other sects were not much different from the legends.

If one were to talk about the differences, it could be because of the legends among the people. It was purely hearsay, and there were some parts that were exaggerated or neglected.

And most of the records in the ancient books of the sect might be from the seniors who founded the sect. In their era, they had heard stories about that great war. Of course, the remaining part should be the accumulation of the sect over the years.

For example, when the cultivation technique was passed down, there might be information about the origin of the cultivation technique, the cultivation system, and so on. This might be related to the Ancient Times.

Apart from that, there were also secret realms appearing one after another. In these secret realms, there would be the remains of the great war in the Ancient Times, as well as the treasures left behind by the Ancient Times, such as the Sovereign Artifact held by those sects and so on.

Another example was the Great Tripod left behind by Emperor Yu, as well as the occasional devil appearing. These things naturally wouldn't appear for no reason. There must be a reason for this.

Through these methods, the sect might be able to come into contact with some secrets of Ancient Times, or perhaps through the inheritance and the Sovereign Artifact, they would be able to deduce some parts of the truth about Ancient Times.

It was precisely because of this that the people would hear about the legend of the Ancient Times.

Lin Cheng had carefully thought about these things. Just think about it. The lifespan of an ordinary person was only around a hundred years, and the Ancient Times had already been so long. How did they know about the war in the Ancient Times?

Obviously, it was through some records of experts and sects that the disciples of the sect knew about the Ancient Times. Then, their clansmen naturally knew about it. As such, it became a legend when it slowly spread.

Of course, the best possibility was that there was really someone who survived in Ancient Times. Just like Spirit Rhinoceros King, if those people were able to survive until now, one could imagine the Cultivation Level.

However, Lin Cheng also understood that the possibility was too small. If there really was such an expert with such a Cultivation Level, perhaps the great devil would not be able to escape and would still be suppressed under Devil-suppressing Cliff.

However, Lin Cheng had gained a lot from the narration of Ren Xiao and Hai Shu.

This was because Lin Cheng was different from them. He had already asked Spirit Rhinoceros King about it in detail before this. Now, combined with what the two of them had said, he could roughly come to a conclusion.

The war in Ancient Times should have been caused by the invasion of the devils. There shouldn't be any doubts about this at the moment.

One should know that although Spirit Rhinoceros King was only a small Demonic Beast at that time, it had already gained wisdom.

Therefore, Spirit Rhinoceros King clearly knew that Emperor Yu and the other Most Powerful Person... They were the supreme beings of the Nine-prefecture Continent, and the war happened in the Nine-prefecture Continent. From this point alone, it was certain that the devils had invaded the Nine-prefecture Continent, and that was why the war had started.

Perhaps there were some secrets hidden in this war, but there was no doubt about it.

Furthermore, Spirit Rhinoceros King had been fighting the remnant will of the devils in the Tianluo Secret Realm for a long time. Even if it wasn't clear about it at that time, it knew that during this long period of time... It had already understood the origin of the devils from its battle with the remnant will of the devils.

In that case, it was enough to prove that what the great devil of Boundless Forest said was false.

Although Lin Cheng didn't know if there was any other reason behind this, he also didn't know. What was the purpose of the Great Devil occupying Boundless Forest? But at least for now, this devil was still the biggest threat to the Nine-prefecture Continent.

As for the fact that the devil had occupied the Boundless Forest and established the Celestial Devil Sect... These actions were indeed puzzling, but Lin Cheng believed that he would find out sooner or later. Unless the devil really kept quiet, or it really thought that he was a living being of the Nine-prefecture Continent. Otherwise, a great war would break out sooner or later.0

"Little friend, what do you plan to do next?" The one who spoke was Ren Xiao.

Although he and Hai Shu were both experts that were infinitely close to the half-step Almighty realm, but... Compared to the Great Devil, there was still a huge gap. In other words... Their existence would not be able to affect the great demon at all. At most, they could only keep the Longevity Sect alive.

But Lin Cheng was different.

He was a true mighty figure, and a mighty figure who possessed the Sovereign Artifact. It could be said that Lin Cheng alone was equal to a sect. Furthermore, with Lin Cheng's combat strength, he might be able to threaten that devil. If the Great Devil of Boundless Forest knew about this news, he was afraid that it wouldn't sit idly by and watch Lin Cheng's peaceful cultivation. He might even continue to break through.

Therefore, an expert like Lin Cheng would most likely have to fight the Great Devil in the future. Hai Shu and Ren Xiao were very concerned about this.

This was because if a war really broke out, the outcome of the war would directly affect the Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou, and even the survival of the billions of living creatures in the entire Dongzhou.

"Seniors, what are your plans?" Lin Cheng didn't answer immediately, but asked instead.

"Us?"

Hai Shu and Ren Xiao looked at each other, shaking their heads and smiling bitterly at the same time.

"Little friend, to tell you the truth, the two of us are lucky to have survived until now."

Hai Shu shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "With little friend's Cultivation Level, I'm sure you can tell that we don't have much lifespan left. During these few years, if it wasn't for some Heaven-earth Treasure that had lengthened their lifespan a little... I'm afraid he's already turned into a pile of dirt."
