The Empress's No.1 Lackey

Chapter 1279 680: He Comes from Earth (5k)

Using the Divine Soul to block a realm of the mortal world...

In the small courtyard, Zhao Douan and the others couldn't help but be captivated, deeply shaken by the grandeur of the Maya Traveler.

It is conceivable that a thousand years ago, the Maya Traveler bore immense pressure to undertake all this alone, making great sacrifices for the stability of the mortal world.

No wonder this character, who didn't create such great achievements in history, is remembered by so many.

However, after a brief moment of awe, their doubts in their hearts not only didn't diminish but increased. Evidently, this story was far from over.

"What happened later?" Xu Zhenguan couldn't help but ask, and the Empress curiously inquired:

"Is the Maya Traveler still around now? And, Ancestor, you just mentioned that healing the rift seems to require the stability of the Heavenly Dao?"

Ancestor Xu glanced at his descendant and first shook his head:

"The Maya Traveler is no more."

Then he nodded:

"That's right, relying solely on the Maya Traveler to block the rift can only prevent it from expanding. But to heal it before the 'Disaster Star' comes a second time, he alone is not enough."

Zhao Douan felt a stir in his heart and said:

"So before leaving, he left clues about once venturing into the Mubei Forest? Did he do it on purpose?"

"Yes," Ancestor Xu looked at him meaningfully and said:

"What is called the order of Heaven and Earth, in the eyes of the Maya Traveler, encompasses both the order of the Divine and the order of the mortal world, which are closely related to cultivators.

Because the existence of cultivators can affect the stability of nature's spiritual energy. At that time, there was no order in the martial world under the rule of Qi Country."

He paused and continued:

"So, before leaving, the Maya Traveler intentionally left clues. And the events that followed went as he anticipated.

This matter quickly attracted the attention of the entire Qi Country, and for a time, countless powerful cultivators, including the royal family, were eager to move. Since Maya could enter and exit safely, so should the others."

"Thus, a decades-long exploration of the Mubei Forest commenced, but to people's disappointment, no matter how they tried, no one who entered could come out.

The Qi Country royal family even sent an entire army, but they too were swallowed and couldn't come out.

This harsh result poured a bucket of cold water on everyone, and people began to suspect that the Maya Traveler's account was false or based on extremely unusual luck...

Even Maya himself couldn't replicate it."

"Therefore, this craze subsided.

However, what no one knew was that among the many explorers, a young magician who stepped into the forest was not killed by the monsters. After enduring many hardships, he reached the central area of the forest. When he was about to be killed by the powerful monster in the central area, he was rescued by the Maya Traveler."

"The Maya Traveler healed his injuries, let him stay for a while, guided him in cultivation, and bestowed upon him great fortune...

At that time, the Maya Traveler, in the Mubei Forest, was almost divine, possessing mana similar to that of the divine...

As a return, that young magician made a Heart Demon Oath, agreeing to a condition from the Maya Traveler. Then he safely left this forbidden area and returned to Qi Country."

"Due to the Heart Demon Oath, he never mentioned anything about the forbidden area to the outside, just quietly cultivated, and decades later, stepped into the realm of Heavenly Human, unifying the chaotic Daoist sects in the martial world."

Ancestor Xu spoke to this point and looked at Zhang Yan Yi.

The Old Heavenly Master was taken aback, suddenly realizing, and blurted out:

"Could it be... that this magician is the founding Heavenly Master of our Heavenly Master Mansion..."

"That's right," Ancestor Xu nodded:

"He is the first Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Mansion."

It matched!

Zhao Douan and the Empress exchanged glances, both shocked.

According to the timeline, Maya was the first to enter the forest, followed by the first Heavenly Master.

But future generations only knew that the first Heavenly Master had the fortune of entering the Mubei Forest in his youth and receiving great fortune, but they didn't know the inside story, much less that it was granted by the Maya Traveler.

Zhang Yan Yi was very excited at this moment, as if he understood something, and murmured:

"Could it be that the matter promised by my first Heavenly Master to the Maya Traveler was to unify the Daoist sects and establish the Heavenly Master Mansion?"

Ancestor Xu nodded:

"That's right. The Maya Traveler could not leave, but could screen for those with great talent and perseverance in the Mubei Forest to help create order."

Zhang Yan Yi, in a daze, said:

"The first Heavenly Master unified the Daoist sects, bestowed divinity, and divided the divine into righteous and evil... was also for order?

Indeed, the rule that all future generations of Heavenly Masters must only cultivate with the 'Heavenly Dao', was also established by the first Heavenly Master. Could it be because... the Heavenly Dao itself is order?

Those who cultivate with the Heavenly Dao must maintain the divine order... is this beneficial to the healing of the space rift?"

Understood!

At this moment, many confusions were understood.

Zhao Douan was shocked, not expecting that even the divine cultivated by the Heavenly Master Mansion held deep meaning.

Ancestor Xu continued:

"It was also at the peak of the cultivation and influence of the first Heavenly Master's later years, fearless of the Qi Country royal family, that he openly stated that he entered the Mubei Forest in his youth and confirmed that the Maya Traveler was the first to enter.

However, he did not disclose the whereabouts of the Maya Traveler to the outside world, rather spoke ambiguously, and shortly after leaving this information, he also passed away."

Zhao Douan took a deep breath and said:

"Then the Qingshan Patriarch... was also..."

Ancestor Xu nodded:

"That's right. The Qingshan Patriarch was the third martial artist to enter the depths of the Mubei Forest, similarly rescued and blessed by the Maya Traveler, receiving great fortune.
