Bai Ling pressed her lips together, her figure swaying gracefully as she moved lightly, her voice as melodious as a yellow oriole. "In fact, during ancient times, the Sky-Connecting Armory was quite prosperous, considered a top martial arts Sect that even the strongest would not dare to provoke. Now you see the current state of the Sky-Connecting Armory; do you know how it fell into decline?"
Before Jiang Han could respond, she continued, "In the past, when the Martial Ancestor died, chaos erupted among the Loose Cultivators and smaller Sects. Even an isolated entity like the Sky-Connecting Armory was affected and could hardly escape. Only a few, like turtles withdrawing into their shells, managed to protect themselves for millennia."
Jiang Han frowned and said, "But logically speaking, the forces that could threaten the Sky-Connecting Armory should be extremely rare. Which power had such overwhelming strength?"
The master of the Sky-Connecting Armory, even in ancient times, would not have been an ordinary figure; they were undoubtedly a supreme powerhouse. Since the Sky-Connecting Armory had already been established, who in the world could threaten it? Was it Buddhism and Daoism, the two celestial courts, or a dynasty?
If you look at the current structure of forces in Zongwu Jianghu, you will understand. In ancient times, Buddhism and Daoism stood independently and were inscrutable to gods and ghosts alike. However, similarly, their complete legacies have been preserved.
Although the dynasty has fragmented into Four Great Ancient Kingdoms and various smaller states, the imperial powers represented by Da Zhou, Great Qi, Northern Yan, and Western Chu still dominate the entire Zongwu World.
On the contrary, one of the ancient giants, the lineage of Martial Ancestor, has nearly been wiped out! None had a good ending!
"It was the Human Emperor who intervened!" Bai Ling revealed a shocking secret and continued, "According to some clues found by my White Lotus Sect, various Sects in the world were dissatisfied with the Martial Ancestor for spreading martial arts among commoners and promoting the idea that 'everyone can be a dragon.' This led them to report to the Human Emperor, provoking him to take action!"
The Martial Ancestor had passed away, and the former master of the Sky-Connecting Armory had decided to retreat from the world. However, for some unknown reason, a powerful force attacked, leaving almost no survivors from the entire Sky-Connecting Armory lineage.
Jiang Han gasped in shock, completely taken aback. The Martial Ancestor's ambition of "everyone like dragons" and the call to "discard sectarian biases" was indeed monumental, but it was undoubtedly a reckless move that disturbed the balance of power among all sects in the world.
Neither the martial arts sects nor the imperial forces would allow such a phenomenon as "everyone like dragons" to occur, as it threatened their very foundations. If everyone were like dragons, what purpose would they serve?
Jiang Han took a deep breath; while he admired the Martial Ancestor's spirit, he still believed it was a foolish endeavor. Even today, sectarian biases were hard to avoid, and barriers had only grown stronger. Even second or third-rate sects, or small gangs, treated their martial arts manuals as treasures and would never easily allow outsiders to practice them.
The Martial Ancestor's advocacy for "everyone like dragons" might have thrilled lower-level martial artists, but once they reached a certain height, they would inevitably become entangled with prestigious sects, completely overturning their ideals and beliefs.
One's position often dictates one's mindset. No one would willingly watch others encroach upon their territory without taking action, let alone generously support them! The resources for martial arts in the world are limited and cannot sustain a situation where "everyone is like dragons." Once competition becomes fierce, bloodshed and schemes will inevitably arise.
Bai Ling continued, "The former strength of the Sky-Connecting Armory was beyond your imagination. With the power of the Sky-Connecting Armory, they could contend with the top forces in the world. The rapid decline of the Sky-Connecting Armory after the disappearance of the Martial Ancestor seemed to stem from internal conflicts that led to differing opinions among them."
A portion of the people continued to cultivate in the Sky-Connecting Armory, while another group directly took part of the inheritance from the Sky-Connecting Armory and left, scattering to infiltrate the various Sects of the world. Not long after that group departed from the Sky-Connecting Armory, the Heavenly Armory was subjected to a terrifying attack, and nearly all of the powerful individuals from the Sky-Connecting Armory perished, with none surviving.
Jiang Han nodded thoughtfully. When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; moreover, the Martial Ancestor lineage is already a mix of fish and dragons, making it inevitable for some unscrupulous individuals to be among them. During prosperous times, this doesn't pose much of an issue, but once faced with difficulties, it can easily fall apart and be manipulated by others. Although the Martial Ancestor lineage is quite powerful, it is like a scattered sand; standing in opposition to the various martial Sects and dynasties of the world, decline is unavoidable.
Suddenly, Jiang Han's eyes flashed. "Are you saying that within the various Sects of the world, there is also inheritance from the Sky-Connecting Armory?"
Bai Ling smiled and said, "Actually, this isn't much of a secret. Aren't you curious how my White Lotus Sect and Qingcheng Sword Sect came together? I may not know much about the Qingcheng Sword Sect's situation, but my White Lotus Sect indeed had a Saint Envoy who came from the Sky-Connecting Armory lineage back in the day. To this day, we still retain several ancient martial arts cultivation method secrets..."
