Immemorial Path/Story

== History ==
The old tribe leader (Xiao Tribe) explains the history.
He says the Martial Heaven Continent should also have been affected by that battle and is broken. It was originally one piece, but later it was broken into five pieces.
"The Martial Heaven Continent gave birth to quite a few famous figures before the Immemorial Path crumbled. Those brilliant figures were peak existences in their realm. They left behind illustrious records. If you could continue to the end of the path, you would see a huge stele with their names carved into it. Only the strongest experts had that qualification. Regretfully, now that the path is broken, you can't reach the stele. You can only look at its projection from afar," sighed the old tribe leader.
The Immemorial Path was originally its own world. But during the immortal era, top experts changed it into a trial region. It was connected to eight surrounding worlds, and Long Chen's Martial Heaven Continent was one of them.
That shocked Long Chen immensely. Eight worlds' top disciples were actually sent here. The Immemorial Path was powerful back then.
But according to the old tribe leader, the immortal era had been an extremely glorious age. It was said that the Immemorial Path was built by true gods, and the secret to becoming an immortal or god was within this world.
But later, an immense battleGreat Dark War? had been fought. The Immemorial Path had shattered. Because it had been too long, the details of that fight were unknown. It was rumored that it had been a battle of gods and devils.
The old tribe leader said that their Xiao tribe had just been one of the troops sent to guard the Immemorial Path back then during ordinary times. They were in charge of one of the trial regions and maintaining order.
But after that immense battle, everything had changed. Their connection to the outside world had been lost. And the thing that made them despair was that anyone at the King-level or above had their vitality rapidly stripped away, and they died in just a few years.
Then, the most alarming thing was that whenever the Immemorial Path was opened again, they found themselves under a curse, and their combat strength was greatly reduced.
Those people who came saw them and tried to force them to tell them the secrets of the various trials. They also forced them to hand over the yuan spirit stones that were only available within the Immemorial Path.
Hearing that, Long Chen was incredibly shocked. It was no wonder all the indigenous people of the Immemorial Path awakened as Celestials. It was because of that yuan spiritual qi.
In the immortal era, the spiritual qi of the world had been condensed to the peak. Any cultivator with the slightest talent had the ability to ascend. According to the old tribe leader, those weren't rumors, but the truth.
Long Chen was extremely curious just what kind of battle could cause worlds to shatter and injure their cores. If they were capable of injuring the core, then wouldn't that mean they were capable of destroying the entire world? Just what level of power was capable of that?
But the old tribe leader knew very little about that immense battle, as it had happened too long ago. Many things were unknown, and if they weren't sure, they wouldn't add in their guesses. After passing through countless mouths, facts could become rumors and rumors could become fact.
The true history had been completely submerged by those who only knew how to run their mouths. Those people truly were amazing. They stood at the front of the streets, crying out their truth with such passion and intensity that it was like they had personally witnessed all of it.
In the Phoenix Cry Empire, Long Chen had seen many such people. Thinking themselves erudite and wanting to stand in the spotlight, they threw out shocking facts that drew people's attention.
The old tribe leader's narrative was based only on absolute fact. From him, Long Chen learned the general origin of the Immemorial Path. As for some unclear aspects, it would be up to Long Chen to find the truth.
== Battle ==
While Xue You was busy gathering his army, the entire Immemorial Path became extremely lively. Perhaps it was agitation from feeling one's power explosively grow, or perhaps it was that a human's desire could not be satisfied. But people were fighting everywhere.
Rumbling filled the air and qi waves surged. Battlefields appeared all over the Immemorial Path. Whether it was the Righteous path, the Corrupt path, or the ancient races, countless disputes arose.
The various experts had all received invitations. 
These so-called invitations were a mix of the carrot and the stick. The ancient races had fewer numbers, but their quality was high. As a result, they split into several factions, each extremely powerful and prepared. Even if they didn't want to snatch the number one position from Yu Changhao, they wanted to prove they had the qualifications to stand on the same level as him.
The Corrupt path was split into two factions, one led by Xue You, the well-known veteran, and another led by an upcoming newcomer, Ka Wutu. The two of them seemed to be at great odds, and Ka Wutu didn't seem to fear the famous Xue You.
