I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible Chapter 124 - Secret Behind The Asura Ancient Land

Chapter 124: Secret Behind The Asura Ancient Land

Ten days later, the exploration of Bai Sheng Mountain’s ancient ruin was still ongoing, although large-scale battles were less frequent now.

During this period, Ding Yue had been ambushed by an expert from Nine Swords Mountain. He directly killed his opponent with a single sword strike.

Up till now, the person who had reaped the most rewards was none other than Ding Yue.

The remaining people simultaneously headed towards the core of the ancient ruin, breaking the restrictions and traps along the way.

Chu Xuan looked over the battlefield within the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin and frowned. The destruction of Bai Sheng Mountain did not seem to have had anything to do with the demon race.

The Bai Sheng Mountain sect had not been destroyed by the demon race’s invasion.

Up until now, he had not seen any demon corpses.

There were also no traces of demonic aura that should have been present after the Great War.

The Bai Sheng Mountain sect had been destroyed by a human faction.

According to the timeline, the destruction of the Bai Sheng Mountain sect had happened during the Great War.

Was it the Great Qin’s doing, or had it been done by another faction?

Which faction did the Bai Sheng Mountain sect belong to?

Unfortunately, there was not much information about Bai Sheng Mountain in the Black Moon Tower’s records.

None of the information mentioned which faction the Bai Sheng Mountain sect belonged to.

After all, the destruction of Bai Sheng Mountain had happened so long ago, so much of the information had been lost to the river of time.

Even the Great Qin Empire, which had once unified the Southern Region, had been erased from existence, much less some smaller sect like the Bai Sheng Mountain sect.

The speed at which Buddha Nanwu refined his golden body was much faster than he had expected; it was done.

“Greetings, Buddha!”

Buddha Nanwu put his palms together and bowed.

“En.”

Chu Xuan nodded and asked him to sit.

“Let’s talk about the ancient demons.”

Chu Xuan was incredibly excited; he was finally going to find out about the secrets of the ancient demons.

This included the question of whether or not there were human traitors who had lured the demons into invading the Southern Region.

“Yes, Buddha!”

To Buddha Nanwu, his ident.i.ty as a member of the demon race had already become a thing of the past. He was now a Buddha, not a demon.

“Back then, there were human experts who entered the Demon Zone to look for us…”

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes. So it was true that when the demon race invaded the Southern Region back then, it was caused by human traitors.

Following Buddha Nanwu’s explanation, Chu Xuan gained some understanding of the demon race and the Demon Zone.

The demon race was a generic term. In fact, there were many branches of demons, as well as many factions among them. Some of the living beings of the demon race still existed in the form of tribes.

The demon faction that Buddha Nanwu belonged to was one of the more powerful ones. He was the chief elder of this demon faction, and was a cultivator at the eighth level of the Heaven realm.

One day, a human expert entered the Demon Zone and contacted the higher-ups of the demon race. The expert said that he could help them invade the Northern Zone and Southern Region.

After they occupied the Southern Region, they could use it as a springboard to seize the Northern Zone.

The higher-ups of the demon race were tempted.

The human race had monopolized five zones, so the demon race was naturally dissatisfied with this. They had always wanted to expand their territory. However, the human race was strong, so they had never found an appropriate opportunity.

The Northern Zone was considered one of the weaker zones among the five zones of the human race.

The human race had occupied the Northern Zone for the longest time, and had erected some barriers that made it difficult for the demon race to invade.

However, if they had inside help it would be much easier for them to invade.

They would be able to occupy the Northern Zone before the other four zones controlled by the human race could react and send aid. Even if they could not occupy the entire Northern Zone, they would easily be able to occupy one or two regions.

Once they did, they could open up a path to the Demon Zone. With the Demon Zone providing support, unless the humans wanted to start an all-out war, they would enter a stand-off.

The higher-ups of the demon race agreed to the human expert’s request and made preparations to invade the Southern Region.

Buddha Nanwu was one of the leaders of the demon race who had invaded the Southern Region.

When the demon experts invaded the Southern Region, they realized that this was a conspiracy.

Some human experts had wanted to use the demon race to destroy the Great Qin Empire and wreak havoc on the humans of the Northern Zone.

“Later on, we found out that this whole thing was a scheme that targeted the humans of the Northern Zone as well as the demons.”

Chu Xuan frowned.

“A scheme that targeted both humans and demons? Was it a scheme devised by other races?”

“No, it was a scheme devised by a human expert.”

Nanwu Buddha shook his head.

Chu Xuan did not understand. Since it was a scheme devised by a human expert, why was it targeted at both the humans and the demons?

“Buddha, there is no human king in the Northern Zone!” Buddha Nanwu said.

Of course, Chu Xuan knew that there had never been a human king in the Northern Zone.

This was related to the history of the Northern Zone.

The first zone that the human race occupied had been the Northern Zone and, because it had never been unified, there had never been a human king.

The other four zones had all been unified by human experts. After generations of struggling, they suppressed the alien races and turned those zones into the territory of the human race.

As such, in the course of history, after being unified, the other four zones obeyed the orders of the human kings and their descendants.

A thought flashed through Chu Xuan’s mind as he took a deep breath, and said, “Do you mean that the human expert in question wanted to be the first human king of the Northern Zone?!”

“Yes!”

Buddha Nanwu nodded.

Who was it that wanted to become the first human king of the Northern Zone?

The first person Chu Xuan thought of was Great Qin’s Emperor, Qin Ying.

He had unified the Southern Region.

So, the invasion of the demons was to stop Qin Ying from unifying the Northern Zone and becoming the first human king of the Northern Zone?

“The invasion of the demons was to stop Qin Ying from becoming the human king?” Chu Xuan asked curiously.

“It was a battle between humans and the kings of other regions.”

Buddha Nanwu put his palms together and said, “Buddha, Qin Ying is just one part of the battle between the humans and those kings.”

Chu Xuan had never expected that the secret of the demon race invasion would involve a battle between humans and the kings of the regions in the Northern Zone.

“Who was the other party?”

“A human Divine realm expert.”

Chu Xuan was shocked. It involved a Divine realm expert?

Was Qin Ying a Divine realm expert when he was at his peak?

“According to my demon race’s investigation, the battle for the position of human king…”

Buddha Nanwu slowly explained the secret behind the invasion of the Southern Region.

There was a certain Divine realm expert of the human race. In order to improve his cultivation base, he devised the demon race invasion plan, which would put the Southern Region and the human race of the entire Northern Zone in a perilous situation.

His ultimate goal was to make a move when the human race in the Northern Zone was in critical danger. He wanted to turn the tide and become the human king.

By acquiring the luck related to being the first human king in the Northern Zone, he hoped to surpa.s.s the Divine realm and step into a higher realm.

Qin Ying’s ambition was not limited to just conquering the Southern Region. He wanted to unify the Northern Zone and become the human king.

However, Qin Ying walked the orthodox path. He controlled countless sects and forces, and tried to unify the Northern Zone and establish the first empire to rule the entire Northern Zone.

He would then become the first human king in the Northern Zone.

In the end, Qin Ying discovered the plan of that Divine realm expert. In order to prevent the human race from succ.u.mbing to the upcoming disaster, he decided to make a move.

He joined forces with some experts of the Northern Zone to intercept the invading experts of the demon race. He even leveraged the fate of the Southern Region to condense a fate treasure that fell into a spatial crack after the battle.

The Southern Region was not alone. There were also experts from the western, northern, eastern, and central regions who seized a portion of the fate of their various regions and condensed them into fate treasures as well.

They destroyed the plan of the human Divine realm expert.

Qin Ying and the other experts died at the start of the battle, but they had also successfully dealt a heavy blow to the invading demon army.

Only a small number of demon experts successfully invaded the Southern Region, which resulted in the Great War.

In the end, because the demon race also had a Divine realm expert, that human Divine realm expert made a move. After that battle, the entire battlefield was trapped in a spatial zone. The Southern Region’s fate, which had been condensed into a supreme treasure, also disappeared.

This caused the Southern Region’s ley lines to collapse. The laws of Heaven and Earth became incomplete, resulting in its current barren state.
