The Infernal Abyss. A realm at the edge of the cosmos. Long forgotten by its cosmic counterparts, shrouded in darkness and mystery. The infernal Abyss has survived eons of war and strife. Now 400 years into the New Dawn Era, the Wind Serpent Continent is divided into three empires and three kingdoms. Though stable, the world of cultivators is cruel.
However, that's what made the infernal abyss special and worth living in. No matter the danger and cruelty, the chance at immortality is ever-present. To break into the world above the skies and caress divinity. Human or demon, it did not matter on the road of cultivation.
In the middle of the wind serpent continent, the beginning of a world-shaking event occurred. Every corner of the continent rumbled with great intensity. Surface creaks upon the terrain gradually became great canyons. Imperial and monarch cities activated protection arrays and for fourteen nights and fourteen days, the continent did not sleep as it was terraformed in a way that no one alive had ever experienced.
When the continent fell to silence, Every expert on the continent looked towards the new territory in the center of the wind serpent continent.
Sects, clans, lone cultivators, the three empires, and three kingdoms readied for war. The new land became known as the Ancestral Demon God Land. With its great arrival, the mysterious lands were anything but simple.
To the far southwest corner of the continent are the lands of the Huyan Kingdom. The seaside Kingdom had a fresh sea smell and every constant ocean draft that eases the heat of the sun. The cultivator atmosphere was a lot calmer in the Huyan Kingdom than most of the territories on the Wind serpent continent.
With many cultivation resources exhausted or to green with youth, Cultivators looked inland for opportunities.
The Huyan Kingdom is based on the only major gulf on the continent. The kingdom bordered the pill Kingdom and Wind serpent empire to the north. To the south is the raging Lamic Sea, home to the ancient Lamia Demon Clan.
Within this kingdom is where our tale begins.
The Broken Spear Sect. The third great sect in the Huyan Kingdom, but nothing compared to the great sects of the empires or the magnificent pill kingdom.
And like many Sects, the Broken Spear Sect always had their own agenda. Aligned with the Huyan Kingdom as long as they held mutual interest and never crossed each other's path.
The Broken Spear Sect is controlled by three major clans. The Gu, Ouyang, and Zhao.
What makes this Sect so special and worthy of mentioning, is their presence in the core chambers of a great palace in the Ancestral Demon God Land.
Surrounded by treasures of old, with value immeasurable, the Broken Spear Sect couldn't contain their excitement.
"Ouyang Feng!" The deep voice of the Sect master rumbled.
" Sect Master." Ouyang Feng put his fist to palm and bowed.
"Gu Long! Zhao Lijian! Collect treasure for your clans, then we must go before the others arrive." The Sect Master Ordered. "The heavens were on our side, but nothing lasts forever. Especially good fortune."
The Four men vanished and began to take whatever they could until their special rings were full. Calmly moving through the chambers, Ouyang Feng had a small creature in his pocket, hidden from his sect mates and the sect master.
"LuLu, show big brother to the best treasures." Ouyang Feng whispered.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
The brown and golden-haired monkey jumped free room Ouyang Feng and began to bounce from chest to chest, chamber to chamber. Ouyang Feng trusted LuLu with his life. Ouyang Feng never doubted the treasure that the Golden-back Dwarf Monkey choose.
When the four men lacked space in the spatial rings, they were astonished. Their spatial rings were full and the core chambers still had enough wealth and cultivation resources to prolong the war for generations.
"Control your greed! We have to go!" Gu Long shouted. "Our rings have more than enough to propel our clans to new heights."
The men of the Broken Spear Sect tore their eyes from the grand sight and forced their bodies to move. At the highest speed they could manage, the four men moved through the core chambers in search of an exit.
"Dammit!" Zhao Lijian shouted as he punched a stone wall.
"We knew this place was a changing maze when decided to run deeper in." the Sect Master chided Zhao Leijian. "Now keep calm. We have to go."
Like many fortune encounters, when the men of the Broken Spear Sect were fleeing the pursuit of experts with cultivation levels that drastically exceeded their own. Gu Long led them through a door that turned out to be a spatial array, transporting the to core chambers of the ancient palace.
Now, they didn't know their way out.
The Chambers soon began to rumble as powdered earth and rubble fell from the aged stone ceiling.
"Cave in?"
'No… a door!" Ouyang Feng shouted. "Quick, swallow your special rings."
Ouyang Feng didn't hesitate to eat his spatial ring. His Sect brothers looked at him with concerned faces.
The sound of grinding stone reverberated through the halls.
Ouyang Feng quickly snatches the spatial ring from Gu Long's finger and gulps it down with one big swallow.
A thought suddenly came to Zhao Leijian and he finally realized why Ouyang Feng swallowed the rings. Unfortunately, Zhao Lijian just wasn't quick enough.
Pah!
To the incoming party, it looked like Zhao Lijian was trying to hide his spatial ring, offended, a man in crimson robes launched forward and Zhao Leijian received a devastating palm that sent him crashing into the earthen walls.
"Urrggh!" Zhao Lijian spits blood onto his elegant robes as the metallic ting of his ring bounces on the palace floor.
"Tsk. Tsk. You think you can still from my Vermillion Empire?" a soft and haughty voice spoke.
The Sect Master, Gu Long, and Ouyang Feng immediately bowed as two empires and a kingdom walked through the door. Much to their surprise, King Huyan Xiong, was amongst them.
Huyan Xiong is a man that the kingdom had high hopes of. But the Sect Master was one of the first to find out that he was an utter disappointment. Another selfish king.
Huyan Xiong immediately moved to Zhao Leijian's side and picked the spatial ring up for. "As agreed, the Broken Spear Sect is from my kingdom. What they find is mine."
"Hmm" The princes waved their hands and their imperial guards relaxed.
Opposition meant death in such an unfavorable situation. All the Sect Master could do was grind his teeth in rage as Huyan Xiong stole Zhao Leijian's earnings.
"Sect Master Wei. Could you tell us the way to the treasure or is it all in that special ring?" Asked Huyan Xiong.
The Sect Master rose to his feet and gestured for all to follow him. He then led them to chambers of treasure. The palace was constantly changing and though some rooms were less in value than others, they all thanked him but gave the Broken Spear Sect nothing.
The imperial and King's guard took all they could. Though the young prince of the Wind Serpent Empire found what he believed would change the course of his Imperial family, a Divine- tier Dragon Pearl.
The room suddenly began to shake and every hall in the palace shifted at once. The young prince of the Wind Serpent Empire was startled and the dragon pearl slipped from his hands.
Taking advantage of the confusion. LuLu lept from Ouyang Feng's robes and snatched the Dragon pearl. The Sect Master caught one glimpse of the scene and grabbed King Huyan Xiong before the Broken Spear Sect vanished.
In raged that a monkey from a small sect would dare to steal from him. The Wind Serpent Prince and imperial guards gave chase. Turning a few corners, Gu Long caught a glimpse of a familiar inscription on the wall. He suddenly stopped and slapped his hand against the inscription while spewing cyan-colored Qi.
The wall gave way and a black-gold portal was formed. Everyone smiled at Gu Long before stepping through the secret passage and vanishing from the core chambers.
When the young prince appeared, he was seething with rage but had no one to vent it on. He took one look at the portal and knew better than to blindly jump.
Somewhere in the Ancestral Demon God Land, The Broken Spear Sect and King Huyan Xiong fell from the sky and landed in a with a great splash.
Rolling on to the bank, the men laid on their backs and panted after the growling experience of spatial travel.
"Ahh. That was worse than the last time."
"I think they were two different teleportation techniques."
"Let's just get out of here before someone else wants to kill us."
"Why did you take me from the chamber? There was more treasure to be had." Said Huyan Xiong.
Gu Long, Ouyang Feng, Zhao Leijian, and Sect Master Wei all look at the King like he was stark raving mad.
'He can't be serious.'
'A wind serpent and Vermilion demon beast sharing with a human?'
'No wonder Queen is being boned a Blood Fiend.'
'This guy is incredulous.'
All the men had varying thoughts of King.
"No. There was not." Replied the Sect Master. " They would have killed us all the moment we left the palace. We're in a foreign land, the King should not be too trusting. "
"Well, my guards are dead for sure now. The Ancestral Demon God Land is vast. Treasure in one palace is but a drop of water in this great ocean." Huyan Xiong argued.
Ouyang Feng scoffed as he pushed himself up. "Do what you want. I'm leaving before someone decides to put my head on a pike. Brother Gu Long, let's go."
Gu Long raised his hand and Ouyang Feng helped him up. The odd spatial technique had torn some of their muscles. Though Gu Long suffered the most as the tendons in his legs were ripped apart like soggy paper.
Huyan Xiong looked at the two men leaving with no respect for his station. Exasperated, Huyan Xiong thought of ways to educated Ouyang Feng.
"What will you do now?" asked Sect Master Wei.
Huyan Xiong faced the Sect Master. "I will leave the Ancestral Demon God lands and return with more men."
"Will you continue to fight for control?"
"As long as the Pill King is my ally, yes."
' A fish in a shallow pond will make a fool of the Dragon. He most certainly is a fish, but this is no shallow pond by any means.' Thought Sect Master Wei.
He then bowed and help Zhao Lijian up and took his leave.
Across the ancestral God Lands, a great voice boomed with instructions to leave the lands or risk being trapped in an ancient array for the next 100 years. Thus establishing the cycle of the Ancestral Demon God Land.
As explorations were ended prematurely, vendettas were born and everyone wanted their pound of flesh.
The war had ended promptly after, but dark clouds were approaching with horrendous thunderstorms aboard.
A year went by and a cold deathly aura became rich across the lands the Wind Serpent Continent as cultivators and world powers fought their battles in the shadows until the true victors were decided.
When the sky cleared and all seemed well, it happened, the Ouyang Clan of the Broken Spear Sect fell. To ensure the survival of his clan, Ouyang Feng sacrificed himself by detention, to allow his family to escape.
