In the Hidden Scriptures Pagoda, Princess Heavenly Phoenix personally accompanied him as Lin Tian flipped through the books. This time, he was not thinking about himself, but mainly to understand the Ghost Gate.
He believed that with Divine Phoenix Mountain's status, they must know a lot about that place.
Sure enough.
Lin Tian gained a lot in just one afternoon.
The Ghost Gate, commonly known as the gate to the underworld, was inextricably linked to the Ghost Race. It first appeared during the Nine Heavens.
It only appeared more frequently during the Nine States Era.
The previous Heavenly Emperor, the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor, had once entered this place. Lin Tian knew this, but the records of Divine Phoenix Mountain were obviously more detailed.
From the records, the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor's talent was not considered strong. Although he was a famous genius of the Ghost Race, there were many other geniuses of the Ghost Race who were superior to him.
Not to mention, in that era, there were many geniuses in other states and races, such as the Human Race and the Heavenly Spirit Race. There were many prominent figures in that era.
The two princes of the Gu Clan and the Blissful Heavenly Palace were also born in that era.
One could imagine how difficult the competition in that era was.
But even so, the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor, who was not very talented, still won first place and dominated for tens of thousands of years.
And all of this was attributed to the Ghost Gate by Divine Phoenix Mountain.
Because the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor broke into the Ghost Gate, and after coming out from there, he began to show his talent.
Before this, in the entire Nine Prefectures, he could only be considered to be ordinary.
After all, in that era, the Immortal Physique was born.
This kind of physique could be said to be invincible. After the Immortal Physique, even if he did not become an Emperor, he could still fight against a Great Emperor.
But in the end?
After the owner of the Immortal Physique fought with the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor, who had not yet become an Emperor, he disappeared without a trace.
He did not appear again until the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor succeeded in proving his Dao and dominated the Nine States.
Some people suspected that after his defeat, he was too ashamed to enter the world again, so he found a place to cultivate in seclusion.
Some people also thought that he died at the hands of the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor.
On the other hand, Divine Phoenix Mountain clearly believed that the second reason was because the Immortal Physique that had been at the same level as the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor had died at the hands of the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor.
As for how the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor did it, Divine Phoenix Mountain had no way of knowing.
They had only gathered the information they had gathered and compiled it. In the end, they had left behind a record. They had not personally witnessed the battle.
Therefore, he wasn't very clear about what had happened back then.
This kind of record also contained a lot of subjective emotions, so it couldn't be read as real history.
He could only understand it from a certain perspective.
As for the Underworld that Lin Tian was looking for, there was no record of it at all. It was as if it did not exist at all.
However, Lin Tian had also clearly understood from the ancient books of Divine Phoenix Mountain that, millions of years ago, after the Age of Emperors, there were some things that happened in the dark and chaotic era.
That calamity was caused by the ancient and mysterious creatures of the Forbidden Lands during the Nine Heavens Era.
That war had spread throughout the entire Nine States.
There was slaughter everywhere. Every day, there would be experts falling. Blood rained down endlessly, covering the entire world.
There were white bones everywhere, and there were miserable cries everywhere.
The Emperors joined forces to fight against the Forbidden Lands.
As for those supreme existences who truly controlled the Forbidden Lands, although their strength was terrifying, they had scruples in their hearts. Obviously, they couldn't completely make a move.
Even so, Martial Emperors continued to emerge one after another. Many of them were Martial Emperors that everyone had assumed to be dead at that point in time.
They hid in the Forbidden Lands and dragged out an ignoble existence. In that battle, all of them showed up.
Obviously, they had sensed that the forces of the Nine States were too powerful at that time and had threatened their existence. Therefore, they joined forces and prepared to cleanse this world.
That battle lasted for a long time. The sky was dark and the earth was dark. The starry sky turned into the main battlefield. It was a mess.
Even the sun was shattered.
And countless forces also chose to side with those Forbidden Lands at that time. They were willing to work like cattle and horses, fighting for those emotionless Forbidden Lands.
There was no light during that time. There was only blood and slaughter, chaos and sorrowful howls.
Therefore, that time was also known as the darkest and most chaotic era.
It was also from that time that people understood what kind of existence the Forbidden Lands were.
There were terrifying creatures with unfathomable strength sleeping there. No one could defeat them, and no one could stop them.
Fortunately, for some reason, they couldn't walk out of the Forbidden Lands, nor could they frequently make a move. Moreover, even if they made a move, they couldn't use power that surpassed the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
Otherwise, the Nine States would have completely fallen tens of millions of years ago. No one knew what it was like now.
However, although the Nine Prefectures were saved back then, they had paid a great price. More than one Great Emperor had died in that era.
Of course, their efforts were not in vain. Under the lead of the Longevity Immortal Emperor, the Emperors of the Nine States signed a peace agreement with them. From then on, they would have nothing to do with each other.
The Great Emperors of the Nine States were not allowed to step into the Forbidden Lands, nor were they allowed to attack the Forbidden Lands. Otherwise, darkness would rise again.
It was the same for the Forbidden Lands. They would not set foot in the Nine States again.
Of course, both sides were referring to the Emperors.
If someone below the Emperor Realm came out of the Forbidden Lands, or if someone dared to enter the Nine States, no one would care.
As for whether or not they could come back alive, it would depend on their ability.
However, according to the records of the Divine Phoenix Mountain, in these years, many people had entered the Forbidden Lands and made deals with the supreme beings of the Forbidden Lands.
Seeing this, Lin Tian frowned slightly. He didn't know why, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
One had to know that according to the records, the two sides were almost mortal enemies. They were existences that would not rest until one of them was dead.
But now, there were people from the Nine Heavens who went to the Forbidden Lands to make deals. What was the difference between this and the forces that directly sided with the Forbidden Lands?
Over time, who could guarantee that the creatures in the Forbidden Lands wouldn't make a comeback?
One had to know that the Nine States now didn't have as many Great Emperors as before.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian asked the question in his heart.
Xiao Hei and Heavenly Phoenix Princess looked at each other and smiled bitterly. There was nothing they could do about this.
After all, their feet were in the hands of others. They couldn't stop them.
However, they didn't care about Lin Tian's worries. Heavenly Phoenix Princess explained softly, "My uncle and the others naturally knew this, so they left behind a backup plan. As long as those fellows in the Forbidden Lands aren't sure that my uncle, mother, and Empress Ruoshui are all dead, they won't dare to rashly start a war."
Xiao Hei also smiled and said, "Young Master, besides, don't we still have you now? With you around, I believe that those forbidden lands will behave themselves. "
