## History:

Aside from knowing that there was a ruler, there wasn't anything much about the Tortoise in the history book, as all generations of tortoises that ruled this land generally stayed out of the world, and acted more as its protector, than its ruler.

At first, the people didn't dare to try and become something of a ruler themselves, mostly in fear of the ruler taking offense to it.

However, as time went by and the general public started forgetting that a ruler even existed, more ambitious people came to be.

These people formed sects and tried ruling for a while, but as soon as the strongest one of them overcame the Saint realm and entered the Immortal realm, they were forced to leave, which left the sects in dire straits and under attack by the others that felt like they deserved to be the one.

The coming and going of sects happened for a long time, until about 30 thousand years ago, when a sect came around that ended up becoming so big that no one could topple it.

The Snow Immortal sect.

The sect managed to survive by always having two leaders each time.

Even when one of the Saint realm leaders of the sect could break through, they didn't do so until there was another one to look after the place when they were gone, who would then immediately start searching for their replacement.

The sect ended up being so big, that it was called a Super sect, with branches at every corner of the continent, each with its own leaders, all of which reported back to the main sect.

The Snow Immortal sect pretty much ruled the Northern Continent.

However, about 8 thousand years ago, when the leader of the sect at that time tried to break through, he brought tragedy onto the land.

No one understood why, but when the leader of that time tried to break through, he couldn't survive the process at all and died.

That wouldn't have been bad, but the process was so powerful and so destructive, that the mountain the leader was breaking through was blown to smithereens.

The many sect elders and the other leader died at once. Then, the strongest people of the main sect were gone, with the branches still intact. Then, the 5 strongest branches at the time took advantage of the situation and broke off from the Snow Immortal sect to become their own sects.

The 5 sects became ancient sects with a history of nearly 30 thousand years thanks to them belonging to the Snow Immortal sect. In fact, it was said that they even targeted the main sect and stole away their resources, forcing the Snow Immortal sect to have no choice but disband.

There still remained a Snow Immortal sect, but it was a mid-range sect at best now with no hope of being a high-tier sect, let alone an ancient sect.

The 5 sects that split from the Snow Immortal sect decided to rule their own piece of land and split the continent into 5 different states.

The State of Bing was now governed by the sect that had come to be known as the Nether Poison sect. They were a sect that mastered using Poison, not unlike the Royal family of the Western Continent.

The State of Xue was now governed by the Heaven's Frost Sect, which was one of the more normal sects of the land.

The State of Dong ended up being governed by the Frozen Heart sect, which was famous for being a woman-only sect that used some sort of technique to remove part of their emotion towards men and become stronger as a result.

The State of Shuang was now controlled by the Blue Spring sect, which was also a beast-taming sect, and one of the only few ones on the entire continent.

Finally, the State of Re was under the governing of the Blazing Earth sect, the only sect of the 5 that did not have anything to do with cold or ice, as most of the land of the State of Re never even saw snow.

These 5 sects were the strongest and largest sects of the Northern Continent and its current definite rulers.

## map of northern continent:

There were 5 states divided among the 5 different sects. Alex searched for the Ruler's realm that was so popular and his eyes nearly fell out when he realized just how far in the north he was.

Most of the cities and sects were towards the south, near the hotter areas, and he was here in the north where there were barely any people living.
