Chapter 210 Suspected Cover-up of History
“Howl!”
Huo Er obeyed and roared.
It had absolute trust in Cui Heng, including comforting words.
Hence, the little Fire Dragon’s mood quickly improved and it was no longer depressed. It danced in the air for a while before turning into a flame dragon pattern and landing on Hui Shi.
“Tsk tsk…” Cui Heng couldn’t help but laugh. This stupid dragon was really something. Then, he looked at Pei Qingshu at the side and asked,” Qingshu, how much do you know about the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect?”.
Although the strange collapse caused the books of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect to be burned to ashes by the sea of fire, he still obtained a lot of useful information through the Nine Fire Flame Dragon’s investigation.
For example, the so-called Patriarch mentioned by the Tianhe Sect Master, the statue that was worshiped by so many disciples, and the strange collapse at the end meant that the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect was probably not as weak as it looked.
Even if the entire Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect had been reduced to ashes, it did not mean that it had completely perished.
“Master, the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect is one of the original Nine Immortal Sects. They worshiped a god known as Divine Lord Tianhe for generations,” Pei Qingshu replied. “Legend has it that this Divine Lord Tianhe is one of the 36 Divine Generals under the Creation God…”
“What?!” Zhang Shuming suddenly spoke at this moment and looked at Pei Qingshu in extreme surprise. Then, he realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly apologized, “Exalted Immortal, Deva Pei, please forgive me. I was too agitated just now and lost my composure.”
“Perfected Zhang, are you thinking of the Dao Gods worshiped by Daoyi Palace?” Cui Heng looked at Zhang Shuming and then said to Pei Qingshu, “Qingshu, let Perfected Zhang explain first.”
“Yes, Master.” Pei Qingshu nodded and took a step back.
......
“Exalted Immortal, it’s like this…” Zhang Shuming took a deep breath to calm himself down and said with an incomparably solemn expression,” According to the records of my Daoyi Palace, in ancient times, the gods of the heavens descended and divided the 36 states of the world.
Among them, the Dao God worshiped by my Daoyi Palace is the head of the Heavenly Gods. The idea of dividing land into 36 states was also decided by him. The reason why it was decided was because there were a total of 36 Heavenly Gods who descended.”
“So, you suspect that the 36 Divine Generals mentioned by the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect are the 36 Heavenly Gods who descended to the Lower World in ancient times?” Cui Heng understood what Zhang Shuming meant.
“Exalted Immortal, I do have this guess.” Zhang Shuming nodded and said, “Moreover, there are also records of this in our Daoyi Palace. Other than the Dao God worshiped by our sect who wear a kasaya and hold paintings, the other Heavenly Gods are all armed like divine generals.”
“If that’s the case, there might really be some connection between the two.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and said, “However, the matter of the 36 Gods descending to the Lower World to divide the land into 36 states is already an old matter from 10,000 years ago. Unless we can make a trip to Daoyi Palace, it’s very difficult to investigate.”
This ancient secret had far-reaching effects and was definitely extremely beneficial to his Nascent Soul cultivation. Even if it was just to increase his cultivation, he had to figure it out.
“I’m willing to lead the way for Exalted Immortal!” Zhang Shuming immediately expressed his thoughts.
“After I’m done dealing with the matters here, I’ll make a trip to Daoyi Palace with you.” Cui Heng nodded and said to Pei Qingshu, “Qingshu, continue. Let’s start from the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect. We can expand on the situation of the Nine Immortal Sects.”
“Yes, Master.” Pei Qingshu bowed respectfully and continued, “When the Nine Immortal Sects first descended, the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect was not a martial sect. Instead, it was a religious sect that focused on spreading the gospel of Tianhe Divine Lord.
At that time, the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect was incomparably powerful. They could even invite the power of Divine Lord Tianhe down to possess them. They could be said to be one of the strongest forces in the Heavenly Void World.
However, 3,000 years ago, Divine Lord Tianhe suddenly stopped responding to the prayers of his believers. This directly led to the transformation of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect and it became a pure martial sect.”
“3,000 years ago?” Cui Heng was stunned when he heard that. He frowned and said, “Isn’t this when the Ten Immortal Sects besieged Daoyi Palace and both sides compromised in the end? Wasn’t this when Daoyi Palace moved their main force to the Heavenly Void World?”
Could it be that something had happened to that so-called Divine Lord Tianhe at that time, causing him to break off his connection with the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect?
“Ten Immortal Sects?” Pei Qingshu was also stunned and asked curiously, “Master, the Ten Immortal Sects you mentioned are?”
“You don’t know?” Cui Heng looked at Pei Qingshu in surprise and said, “3,000 years ago, many Heaven Monarchs and Mystic Deities from the Ten Immortal Sects besieged the Lower World’s Daoyi Palace. Didn’t you know about this?” “This…” Pei Qingshu’s eyes widened when he heard this. He said in surprise,” Master, the only thing I know is that when the Nine Immortal Sects descended to the Lower World, they were ambushed by the native forces, Daoyi Palace, and a war broke out.
Finally, the strongest experts of the Daoyi Palace, and the current Nine Elders of the Immortal Sects, chose to move to the Daoyi Palace to the Heavenly Void World and they become the tenth Immortal Sect.
“But in less than a hundred years, Daoyi Palace became independent again and announced that it was no longer a so-called Immortal Sect but an independent martial
sect.”
“How is this possible?!” Zhang Shuming said indignantly, “This is a lie fabricated by the Ten Immortal Sects. They are clearly invaders and bandits who came to attack our Daoyi Palace for no reason!
If not for the fact that our Ancestral Master was a Taiyi Mystic Deity who stood at the Peak of the Fourth Realm and could suppress the ten Mystic Deities of the Immortal sects, our Daoyi Palace would have long become history!” “Perfected One, don’t be agitated.” Cui Heng first waved his hand at Zhang Shuming before saying to Pei Qingshu, “Qingshu, tell me, which are the nine Immortal Sects that you know of?”
“Yes, Master.” Pei Qingshu was also very puzzled. He nodded and said, “They are the Black Yellow Heavenly Palace, Heavenly Cycle Star Dipper Pavilion, Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect, Great Void Heavenly Palace, Void Dao Sect, White Cloud City, Li Sword Pavilion, Mount Shaoyang, and the Beast Taming Immortal Sect.”
“Have you heard of the Purple Extreme Palace?” Cui Heng asked.
“I’ve never heard of it.” Pei Qingshu shook his head and asked curiously, “Master, do you mean that 3,000 years ago, there was a tenth Immortal Sect, and it was this Purple Extreme Palace?”
“That’s right.” Cui Heng nodded and said in a low voice, “Your Nine Preeminent Families have changed many times, right?”
“Yes.” Pei Qingshu nodded and said, “Our Linjiang Pei Family and the Wang Family of Jiangdong have been around for the longest time. However, they will only be around 3,000 years old at the most.”
“No wonder.” Cui Heng suddenly understood and chuckled. “It seems that the history that your Nine Preeminent Families and 24 aristocratic families know is probably just the history that the Immortal Sects want to show you.”
“Master is right.” Pei Qingshu looked angry and nodded. “The history we know about the time from 3,000 years ago might not be true. These Immortal sects are raising us like monkeys.
Perhaps they’re not Immortal sects that teach all living beings. They might even be a group of complete outsiders, invaders.”
“That’s right, it’s very likely!” Zhang Shuming agreed with this and said in a low voice, “Perhaps it’s just like how they invaded the planet we’re on and developed it into the Lower World. The Heavenly Void World was also invaded by them.”
“It’s possible, it’s really possible!” Pei Qingshu was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He suddenly realized that most of the history he knew in the past might be fake. He was about to explode with anger.
“In the Heavenly Void World, other than the current Nine Immortal Sects, are there any other forces that have been passed down for more than 3,000 years?” Cui Heng asked.
“There’s only the Daoyi Palace.” Pei Qingshu shook his head and said, “Only the Daoyi Palace has been passed down for more than 3,000 years. However, that’s the inheritance of the Daoyi Palace from the Lower World. In the history of the Heavenly Void World, the Daoyi Palace also only has a legacy of nearly 3,000 years.”
“From the looks of it, the waters of the Nine Immortal Sects are far deeper than I expected.” Cui Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly. He suddenly turned to look in a direction and chuckled. “Previously, I sensed a strange spatial fluctuation over there.”
Pei Qingshu and Zhang Shuming could not help but be puzzled.
Why did he suddenly change the topic?
Only Hui Shi, who was standing at the side, let out a howl. The fiery red dragon-shaped patterns glowed faintly.
Huo Er knew what Cui Heng was talking about.
“Yes, it’s the power that caused the internal palace of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect to strangely collapse and many books to be buried in the sea of fire.” Cui Heng nodded slightly and said in a low voice, “The Nine Immortal Sects are deliberately hiding the history of 3,000 years ago.”
“Master, I think there might be a higher power behind the Nine Immortal Sects,” Pei Qingshu suddenly said. “If our previous guess is true.
“It’s really the Nine Immortal Sects who joined forces to invade the Heavenly Void World and covered up history. They also invaded the planet where the Daoyi Palace is. This very likely means that they are executing someone else’s will.
After all, the Nine Immortal Sects or should it be Ten Immortal Sects were all on the same level before. If there’s no one to plan, who can decide whose actions?”
“Immortal Venerable, I think Deva Pei’s words make sense,” Hui Shi suddenly said. He often implemented government decrees in the Great Jin and knew very well that if he wanted a group of equivalent departments to cooperate, they had to have a higher level leader.
“A higher level… Perhaps Daoyi Palace will know the specifics.” Cui Heng looked at Zhang Shuming and smiled. “Next, I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble Perfected Zhang to bring us to Daoyi Palace.”
“This is what I’m thinking as well.” Zhang Shuming hurriedly nodded and said respectfully, “I’ve once heard Ancestral Master mention the location of the Daoyi Palace in the Heavenly Void World. I can lead the way for Exalted Immortal.”
“That’s good.” Cui Heng smiled and nodded. Then, he looked at Pei Qingshu. “However, there’s no hurry now. I still have something to ask. Qingshu, do you know what’s going on with the three Buddhist monasteries, where they came from, and why they’re standing with the Nine Immortal Sects?”
When he was in the Great Jin, he had also asked those Earth Immortals from the Immortal sects about the three Buddhist monasteries.
However, there was only one answer. The Buddhist Hall did things secretly and did not openly take in disciples. Everyone knew very little.
“The three Buddhist monasteries…” Pei Qingshu frowned when he heard this. He shook his head and said,” Master, as far as I know, the three Buddhist monasteries seem to have appeared out of thin air. “
