Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 634 - An Ancient Clan?

After hearing the doubt of the middle aged man with the earring, some of the other council members were interested in it too.

"I’d like to know more as well." Gun Kai, who was on the side of Shantung asked.

~Sigh~

"I guess I can explain this to you all... this is not something that is known to the people of the recent few generations..." Shantung said.

"Why is that so?" Jingming Shang suddenly asked.

"There are many reasons for it, but the biggest one is that... it has simply been far too long. In fact, even I don’t know when all this exactly happened." Shantung replied.

"I see... please do explain it to us." Jingming Shang stated.

"As I said before, I don’t really know when this all happened, but it’s safe to assume that it’s been thousands of years. As of now, I think only a few of the cultivation sects including the top cultivation sects, the different aristocrats of the kingdoms and a few old clans, know about all this.

Even I myself only know about this because I once traded a few old documents in exchange for a lot of money. Originally, I had thought that these documents maybe some kind of a cultivation technique or a Qi skill that was found from a ruin.

But it turned out to be something far more shocking." Shantung said, and took a pause.

"As miss Fen said previously, there used to be five continents in the world. There were many conflicts between them and a great war happened. After that war, the five continents were joined up by some peerless cultivators.

But then the northern continent, which was the biggest enemy back then and even is now, did something. They destroyed the entire western continent and made it sink into the ocean. The people of that time managed to stop the northern continent from fully merging with the Great Zhou continent, but it came at a great cost.

It is said that ever since then, the powers of the world fell considerably such that were are not even half as compared to then. The area that we live in right now, the Fenlong Kingdom... it was once part of the Eastern continent." Shantung explained.

"This... I can’t believe it..." The middle aged man with the earring commented.

The others were finding it hard to believe it as well and didn’t know what to say. For about five minutes, silence descended in the hall and no one spoke as they tried to internalize this shocking information.

But Lin Mu on the other hand, furrowed his brows.

’So they don’t have a proper record of the history as well... the record that this man Shantung saw only mentions a war but doesn’t mention the invaders? What stupidity...’ Lin Mu thought to himself as he shook his head.

Seeing that one of the most important parts of the history being removed from the records made him feel disappointed.

’Perhaps if the people of this world had proper records and knew about what had all happened, they would have been far more alert...’ Lin Mu reckoned.

"About this link of Mu clan to an Ancient Clan... whats the rest of the story behind it?" Jingming Shang questioned.

"Ah yes! As Senior Shantung said, there were five continents in the past. I found out that the ancient clan that the Current Mu clan is an offshoot of belonged to the now destroyed Western continent." Miss Fen answered.

"How sure are you of this?" It was Shantung that questioned the woman this time.

"See it for yourself..." Miss Fen said as she withdrew an old scroll from her spatial storage treasures, which was a hair pin.

The scroll had a metallic stamp imprinted on one of its edges while golden tassels hung from its corners. Shantung took the ancient scroll carefully and observed it with his spirit sense.

"This... I’ve never seen paper like this before... it’s woven with formations..." Shantung said as he continued to observe it.

"Exactly! I’ve never seen those kinds of runes and scriptures before other than in some of the extremely old ruins. But even then they only had a few of those scriptures and charterers, not hundreds like on this scroll." Miss Fen stated.

’What is in that scroll?’ Lin Mu wondered and tried to focus on it.

’Oh? Dao Script?’ Lin Mu recognized the characters.

"This looks like the primordial script that some of the formations masters use." Shantung suddenly said.

"Primordial script? But isn’t that a lost language? Even the formation masters only know how to write them but don’t know their meaning." Another old man suddenly said.

Lin Mu’s ears perked up as he remembered that Old Man Jing Wei had also called Dao Script as the primordial script before. He had also seen some Dao Script characters being used in the formations Jing Wei had made.

While Lin Mu could not fully read the scroll from this angle, he decided to use his spirit sense to see what it exactly was. Since it had Dao Script written in it, Lin Mu was sure that there would be traces of spirit Qi that would allow him to read without directly interacting with Shantung’s spirit sense.

"What’s written in it?" Jingming Shang asked the question that everyone else had been wanting to ask.

"The scroll states that during the ancient war, a lot of clans that survived the collapse of the western continent moved to the great Zhou continent. These clans eventually joined other cultivation sects or created their own. While many faded away to the annals of time, a few still managed to survive.

But when the clans were escaping the western continent, not all of their people evacuated. There were still the main powerhouses of those clans that needed to stay back to fight the war. The few that were sent out were either younger members of the clans or even some of the branches.

The Mu clan of Fenlong kingdom is from one such Ancient Clan of the western continent... The Mulong Clan!" Shantung read.
