The ancient path of immortals had once flourished for a hundred thousand years. But after the fall of immortals, there were very few historical records regarding this incident. Even if there were, it was only briefly mentioned.
No one wrote about it in detail so the later generations knew very little. The fall of immortals became an unsolved mystery.
Of course, Lin Jin knew more. He knew that the main cause of the fall of immortals was most likely that Rank 9 immortal devouring beast.
Until now, the immortal devouring beast had yet to reveal its true form. Lin Jin only saw a giant claw back at Daluo Temple.
Based on the information collected from various sources, the truth of the matter had been revealed. Thousands of years ago, the Rank 9 immortal devouring beast appeared and attacked immortal sects indiscriminately, killing immortals.
This cruel war may have lasted for centuries. In the end, the immortals were defeated and the path of immortals fell.
This was what Lin Jin knew.
There might be a small number of immortals who survived, such as the immortal from Daluo Temple. However, they could only hide and conceal their auras. Because once their immortal aura was exposed, the Rank 9 immortal devouring beast would be attracted and death would be their only outcome.
Hence, Lin Jin assumed that there were no more immortals left in this world. Even more extreme speculations were that the immortal from Daluo Temple was the last.
But now, two immortals had come to the Visitation Hall. One could only imagine how much of an uproar this had caused.
After Lin Jin questioned them, Qin Yunshang and Chen Xuankong explained the situation to him.
It turned out that when the Rank 9 immortal devouring beast went on a rampage two thousand years ago, a small number of immortal sects with foresight had already begun preparing for their retreat.
Since they were no match for the immortal devouring beast, they could only flee.
The problem was, where could they flee to?
The edge of each continent was known as the Extraterritorial Lands. The Extraterritorial Lands were filled with endless miasma and were extremely dangerous. Since ancient times, it had been a forbidden area.
Mortals and beasts could never enter. If they did, they would instantly be poisoned to death by the miasma unless they had some sort of treasure or other means to restrain the miasma.
Even immortals needed special Dharma artifacts and detoxification immortal pills.
Back then, the Immortal Dao Sects had been slaughtered by the Immortal Devouring Beasts and were in a sorry state. Out of a hundred Immortals, it was already a miracle that one managed to escape alive.
The immortals who were lucky enough to escape had barged into the outer realm with the mentality that they were lucky. They hadn't expected that they would actually be able to avoid the Immortal-Devouring Beast's pursuit.
It seemed that the miasma in the outer realm had provided them with protection. In short, the Immortal Devouring Beasts could not lock onto the aura of immortals in the outer realm.
In this way, the miasma-filled outer realm became a refuge for the immortal dao sects. Some immortals of the sects escaped into the miasma-filled outer realm, reestablishing their sects there and rebuilding their sects.
To put it bluntly, he had found a place to linger on his last breath.
These Immortals had secretly snuck back to the Middle Earth with hopes of getting lucky, but without exception, all of them never returned. After that, no Immortals dared to try again.
Just like that, the Outerworld and the Middle Earth were separated.
There weren't many Celestial Sects that had the chance to escape and rebuild their sects in the outer realm. The Xuan Dao School and the Cloud Dao School were two of them.
This was the conclusion Lin Jin came up with after listening to Qin Yunshang and Chen Xuankong's explanation and combining it with what he knew before.
"In that case, for the past two thousand years, you've been hiding in that foreign land?" Lin Jin asked after listening to their conversation.
The two immortals who had been subdued by Lin Jin nodded at once. "Senior, that's right!"
The two immortals were respectful before the Curator. Compared to Lin Jin and the others' curiosity, these two immortals were just as curious.
To them, the Curator must be an immortal. Otherwise, how could he suppress them so easily?
Also, he wasn't an average Pseudo Immortal. He must be at least a True Immortal.
But the problem was, the Curator's name had never been heard of in the outer realm. Based on the Curator's words, they knew nothing about the outer realm.
In other words, the Curator was from Middle Earth.
But how was that possible?
Other than the outer realm, immortals would be mercilessly slaughtered by the Immortal Devouring Beast the moment they showed themselves. There were no exceptions.
This was what they were most curious about.
Finally, Qin Yunshang couldn't help but ask, "Senior, how did you avoid the Immortal Devouring Beast's attack?"
The premise of this question was that the Curator was an immortal.
Lin Jin could tell.
"There's no need to hide because I'm not an immortal."
Lin Jin thought about it and decided there was no need to pretend. There was no benefit to it and he had to think of a way to cover up his lie. It was tiring.
Instead of that, he might as well tell the truth.
Lin Jin wasn't an immortal to begin with.
Upon hearing this answer, Qin Yunshang and Chen Xuankong were shocked, especially Chen Xuankong who immediately said, "That's impossible. Senior, you're at least a True Immortal. Otherwise, how could you break my Dragon Catcher so easily?!"
"I'm really not!" Lin Jin continued to deny it. However, Qin Yunshang and Chen Xuankong didn't believe him at all. They were now convinced that this mysterious' Curator 'was definitely an expert at the True Immortal level. Not only could he open up a world of his own (the Visitation Hall), but he could also avoid the Immortal Devouring Beast's attack.
In an instant, the Curator's image in the two immortals' minds grew larger and more imposing.
Lin Jin now knew what he needed to know.
Lin Jin had to admit that the newcomers to the Visitation Hall this time were an eye-opener. It was as if he had opened the door to a whole new world. Who would've thought that an immortal sect that should have retired from the stage of history would still exist?
"Perhaps I'll have to find some time to pay it a visit," Lin Jin mumbled to himself. Lin Jin mumbled to himself. According to Qin Yunshang and Chen Xuankong, even to immortals like them, the outworld was an extremely dangerous place. Not only was there an endless miasma that spread for thousands of miles, but there were also all sorts of ferocious beasts lurking about. None of the beasts in the outworld were kind and many of them could even devour immortals. It was obvious how terrifying they were.
Although the newcomers this time were unusual, Lin Jin remained as steady as a mountain. He had told them the rules that should be followed in the Visitation Hall no matter who they were.
Of course, Lin Jin would give them benefits of equal value as a visitor of the Visitation Hall.
Suddenly, Lin Jin recalled the bottleneck he encountered when he was refining the Four Seas Calabash. With a sudden inspiration, he asked Qin Yunshang and Chen Xuankong about refining artifacts.
As it turned out, Lin Jin had asked the right people.
The Mysterious Path School and the Cloudy Path School were famous existences during the golden age of immortals. Both of them had many secret techniques for refining artifacts.
As the cornerstones of the two immortal sects, Qin Yunshang and Chen Xuankong's knowledge was naturally very profound and extensive. Now that the True Immortal expert in their minds was' testing 'them, the two of them naturally revealed everything they knew and answered respectfully.
