"Because... it was sliced open by someone with one strike!"

Mr. Qin finished speaking, and heavily tapped on the wooden clapper, causing withered leaves on the tree to fall and drift to the ground, leaving the scene quiet.

By someone... sliced open?!

The onlookers let out gasps, with exclamations breaking out all around.

Could it really be possible for someone in this world to cleave the land of the Immortal Domain with a single blow?

What kind of cultivation realm would one need to achieve this?

No one could answer them, because with their status, they couldn't even reach those who might know the answer.

"Dare... dare to ask Mr. Qin, do you know who sliced it open?"

At this, a voice emerged from among the crowd.

Mr. Qin folded the fan, looked serious, and said, "The Domain Master of the West Woe Immortal Realm."

With these words, the entire place went silent.

After a moment, Mr. Qin continued, "To be precise, it was when the Domain Master of the West Woe Immortal Realm was fighting the Domain Master of the East Woe Immortal Realm that the Taishang Continent was split in two."

As these words came out, waves of astonished exclamations arose.

"Mr. Qin, do you mean to say that East Woe and West Woe were once united, and only split into two Immortal Domains because the two Domain Masters fell out three thousand years ago?"

"Clever!" Mr. Qin commended the refined youth.

The people around were also hearing such a complete version for the first time.

"Then who was the Domain Master of Taishang Immortal Realm three thousand years ago?"

The refined youth asked the question that troubled most people present.

Yes, if East Woe and West Woe were once united three thousand years ago, known as Taishang Immortal Realm, then who was the Domain Master of Taishang Immortal Realm three thousand years ago?

"Three thousand years ago, there was no Domain Master in Taishang."

Mr. Qin said.

What he said was true because this is how the ancient history of Taishang is written.

It's just that this small town is too remote, and most people here haven't traveled far, and don't have a complete book of ancient Taishang history; their understanding of ancient history is too lacking.

If it weren't for the church's request, he wouldn't have come to this remote town to tell stories.

"Alright, the storytelling is over for today."

"Everyone, disperse."

Mr. Qin folded the fan, waved his hand, and retrieved the wooden table and chair into his sleeve.

Soon, the crowd gradually dispersed.

As Mr. Qin walked past the snot-nosed child, he ruffled his hair and then headed towards the town gate.

.....

Outside the town gate, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in the same attire sitting on the blue stone at the gate, waiting for him.

"This is for you."

The middle-aged man tossed a storage bag to Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin took the storage bag, weighed it, and then contentedly put it away.

"Old Wang, you're a lucky guy!"

"You got assigned to the neighboring Luqiu City. I smell a hint of smoke and dust on you, so I reckon you've been to the teahouses again, haven't you?"

Mr. Qin teased.

"Nonsense!"

"How could storytellers like us go to such places?"

Old Wang gave him a sidelong glance, and the two moved on outside the town.

"When will our church give us a raise?"

"We've come to this remote place to tell stories, and the pay is pitifully low."

Mr. Qin frowned.

"Shh!"

"You can say that outside, but never say it back at the church!"

"In our Taixuan Sect, the pay is always the same, no one gets more or less, and we are quite lucky. Old Li and Old Yao have been assigned to the depths of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains for preaching; they have it much worse than us."

Old Wang made a "shh" gesture.

As they walked, Mr. Qin suddenly asked abruptly, "Old Wang, why is there a blank in the history of Taishang Immortal Realm for the thousand years before the schism?"

Old Wang shot him a glance and replied:

"You're asking me?"

"How would I know?"

"It's said that something major and forbidden occurred in that thousand years before the schism of Taishang Immortal Realm."

"Why are you looking into this?"

"The history of the Immortal Domain is long, having some blank periods isn't unusual, is it?"

....

"No problem, I was just asking." Mr. Qin waved it off, "Alright, let's not talk about this."

"I've heard that in the past century, the fights between our East Woe and West Woe have intensified again?"

....

"Yes, yes, West Woe wants to annex us, and of course, we of East Woe want to annex them too. The war has lasted for tens of thousands of years."

"You are lucky to have joined the Taixuan Sect; during a time of turmoil, only our Taixuan Sect's storytellers are unaffected by the war."

Old Wang said proudly.

"Haha, I joined the Taixuan Sect for this reason."

"I went through many trials, crossed many hurdles, and finally joined the Taixuan Sect."

"Oh hey, listening to you, I suddenly feel that the salary isn't that low."

Mr. Qin laughed as well.

In the East and West Woe Immortal Realms, the Taixuan Sect is a very special church, founded three thousand years ago by the legendary Celestial Master Zhang.

The Taixuan Sect is a missionary church, not restricted by region, traveling between the two Immortal Domains to preach, teach, or tell stories.

"In chaotic times, the Taixuan Sect must not be harmed."

This is a consensus reached by the two Immortal Domains, because they only preach and tell stories, not affecting the situation.

So joining the Taixuan Sect means one is exempt from the threats of war.

...

No one knows that both the ancient history and the memories of Taishang Immortal Realm have been altered.

Three thousand years ago, after Lao Da and Lao San took control of Taishang Immortal Realm,

Lao San used Great Divine Techniques, with the help of the World Origin, to erase a thousand years of his invasion of Taishang Immortal Realm from history altogether.

The existence of "Zhao Gusheng", the former Domain Master, was wiped out from Taishang Immortal Realm's history.

Lao Da and Lao San together altered the memories of the cultivators who witnessed that legendary battle, except for the two subordinate Realm Masters of Taishang Immortal Realm, and the senior clan leaders, Holy Land Saint Masters, and Immortal Sect Leaders, whose memories were retained.

Other cultivators, in essence, don't remember the invasion of Lao Da and Lao San into Taishang Immortal Realm.

Since Lao Da and Lao San's power was not sufficient to erase everyone's memory from the entire Immortal Domain, those top-tier cultivators still knew the truth.

However, although they knew the truth and the real history, they kept it to themselves and never spoke of it, becoming the greatest taboo of Taishang Immortal Realm.

Because, for these past three thousand years, Taishang Immortal Realm grew better and more prosperous than ever before, so... those strong figures who retained that passage of memory all acknowledged the current two new Domain Masters.

Later, Zhang Taixuan joined under Lao Da and Lao San, establishing the "Taixuan Sect."

The mission of the Taixuan Sect was to stabilize faith, preach and tell stories, instill new beliefs into the new generation of Immortal Domain cultivators, laying a foundation of faith for an eventual all-out attack on the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm in the future.

...

On this day, after busying himself for a while, Su Mu prepared to cultivate a cultivation technique.

Sitting on a White Jade Meditation Mat, the next second, his perspective shifted, finding himself high up in the sky.

Looking down at the earth, his pupils shrank suddenly: "How... how did it become two pieces?"
