Back at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley, Su Zimo had once told Monk Yuan Bei and the red-headed ghost about the blood face that appeared in the Thousand Year Blood Sea of Thousand Demon Valley.
Thereafter, the red-headed ghost mentioned the Thousand Demon Calamity.
Legend has it that the battle 30,000 years ago was extremely tragic. Not only were the demons of Thousand Demon Valley involved, the other seven demon regions were implicated as well.
Countless fiend demons died in that battle and even Demon Emperors died!
After that battle, the eight demon regions were severely injured!
Therefore, that battle was known as the Thousand Demon Calamity by the later generations.
If the bloody face that appeared in the ruins of the Da Qian Empire and the bloody face that appeared during the Thousand Demons Tribulation were not coincidences,
If that was the case, there was indeed a possibility that something major happened in Tianhuang Mainland 20,000 years ago!
Su Zimo received the ancient book that Demoness Ji handed over and continued reading.
"Six fiend sects?"
Su Zimo murmured softly.
Demoness Ji nodded. "Actually, 20,000 years ago, Tianhuang Mainland was divided into nine immortal sects, eight Buddhist monasteries and six fiend sects."
Su Zimo knew about the eight Buddhist monasteries.
The two super sects of the Buddhist monasteries, Daming Monastery and Fahua Monastery, were destroyed in the battle of the Great Qian Empire 10,000 years ago and evolved into the six Buddhist monasteries of today.
He truly did not know about the six fiend sects.
Demoness Ji said, "20,000 years ago, Heavenly Dipper Sect was not among the nine immortal sects. Instead, there was another major sect, Constellation Sect! However, Malevolent Earth Sect was not among the fiend sects. "
"Later on, the Astral Emperor of Constellation Sect failed his tribulation and was reduced to ashes by the Heavenly Tribulation. Constellation Sect was in danger."
The tribulation was so terrifying that even an Emperor would die if he was the slightest bit careless. His body and soul would be destroyed!
Demoness Ji continued, "At that juncture, Patriarch Constellation was ambushed by a Patriarch of the fiend sects and almost died. Enraged, Patriarch Constellation initiated a war between Constellation Sect and the fiend sects!"
"Among the nine immortal sects, five super sects were involved in that war. As for the six fiend sects, all of them participated in the war. In the end, the war even escalated to a fight between emperors!"
As he listened to Demoness Ji's narration, Su Zimo browsed through the ancient books and compared them.
According to the ancient records, more than thirty Mahayana Patriarchs from both the immortal and demonic sects had fallen in this battle. Patriarch Xingxiu had also perished!
Even three Rulers had died!
Seeing this, Su Zimo was secretly speechless.
The foundation of a super sect was truly terrifying!
Up till this point of his cultivation, Su Zimo had rarely seen Mahayana Patriarchs – that was because he had yet to reach that level.
After all, the lifespan of a Mahayana Ancestor was a hundred thousand years.
Even if the super sects only produced one in ten thousand years, after a hundred thousand years of accumulation, there would be at least ten of them!
She sighed. "In the end, the Dharma Overlord of the Buddhist monasteries and the others had to step in to mediate and calm the battle."
"Even so, this battle has caused the Demon Sect to suffer great losses. As for the Constellation Sect of the Nine Immortal Sects, it was split into two major sects! "
"One of them is the current Heavenly Dipper Sect of the Nine Immortal Sects. The other is Malevolent Earth Sect of the Seven Fiend Sects."
When he heard that, Su Zimo was enlightened.
Back when he first met Demoness Ji, she was already disdainful towards Malevolent Earth Sect and even said that it was not considered as a true fiend sect.
Now, he finally understood that the predecessor of Malevolent Earth Sect was Constellation Sect of the immortal sects!
This battle was considered as a catastrophe for both the immortal and fiend sects. Constellation Sect was even destroyed and was known as the Calamity of Constellation in the future!
After a moment, Demoness Ji saw that Su Zimo was still immersed in the ancient book, browsing repeatedly as though he was searching for something.
"Zimo, what are you looking for?"
She asked.
Su Zimo replied, "I'm looking for the problem behind this battle."
"What do you mean?" She was confused.
Su Zimo did not reply. After flipping through the ancient book a few times, he asked, "Who was the Patriarch of the fiend sects that ambushed Patriarch Xingxiu?"
"I'm not sure."
Demoness Ji shook her head.
Su Zimo pointed to the ancient book in his hands. "That's the problem. Even the ancient books of Enigma Palace don't have any records of the identity of the Patriarch of the fiend sects!"
"The reason for the Calamity of Constellation is because of this. However, no one knows who the Patriarch of the fiend sects is. “
Demoness Ji frowned. "What can that prove? This must be absolutely true. Otherwise, Patriarch Xingxiu wouldn't have been enraged and launched a war against the fiend sects! "
Su Zimo did not argue.
Actually, it was just like the catastrophe of Great Qian.
Be it the Thousand Demon Tribulation or the Calamity of Constellation, there was the same strangeness behind both catastrophes.
The catastrophe of Great Qian was because there were two people present who witnessed it personally. Monk Yuan Bei and the red-headed ghost speculated and Die Yue made a move.
Eventually, they were able to discover the true secret behind the catastrophe of Great Qian!
However, the Thousand Demon Tribulation and Calamity of Constellation happened 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. Those who experienced both catastrophes personally were probably long dead.
Even if Su Zimo could sense that something was amiss with the two catastrophes, he would not be able to discover the true problem.
The truth of the past might have been buried with time forever.
However, this matter confirmed his conjecture!
The Thousand Demon Tribulation, Calamity of Constellation and Calamity of Great Qian were not coincidences.
"Now that I think about it, another 10,000 years have passed since the catastrophe of Great Qian."
Su Zimo murmured softly with a grim expression.
The crisis of Tianhuang Mainland did not only come from the primordial races. There was also a pair of invisible blood hands stirring the winds and manipulating the masses behind the scenes!
"Let's go, let's leave this place,"
Su Zimo took a deep breath of air and buried everything in his heart before leaving the library with Demoness Ji.
The old storyteller did not leave and stood at the entrance of the hall, looking into the distance in deep thought.
Ming Zhen, Little Fatty, Shi Jian and Yan Beichen were nowhere to be seen – they should have been arranged to rest by the cultivators of Enigma Palace.
"You found the answer?"
The old storyteller glanced sideways and asked with a smile.
Su Zimo nodded.
Initially, he entered the library with the intention of searching for Monk Daming's secrets. To think that he would accidentally find out about the catastrophe 20,000 years ago!
"You were the one behind the destruction of the Blood Vine race on Six Star Mountain, right?"
The old storyteller asked.
"Yes,"
Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Monk Daming was partly responsible for this matter. However, since Monk Daming did not want to appear, Su Zimo did not mention it.
"Why did you come to Enigma Palace directly from Six Star Mountain?"
The old storyteller asked again.
Su Zimo was about to say something when he said in a deep voice, "I was ordered to be killed by the Blood Vine race. Someone told me that Enigma Palace might be able to resolve it."
"Hmm?"
The old storyteller's expression changed starkly as he turned around.
A gray mist appeared in the old storyteller's eyes, as though he could see through all the secrets on Su Zimo!
"Indeed!"
The mist in the old storyteller's eyes dissipated gradually. Frowning, he extended his palm and pinched his fingers to divine. A divine glint flashed through his eyes as he hollered, "Not good!"
