Yun Si Ning picked up the three yellowed sheets of paper and gently rubbed them.

The paper is slightly rough, and the edges are curled slightly from the passage of time, giving it a rustic and serene feel.

As you gently glide your fingertips across the paper, you can feel the subtle texture on the surface.

Upon closer inspection, she found that the first page contained only a few lines of text.

"If anyone reads this book in the future, they will be able to attain my great Dao."

If anyone later finds my tomb, they will receive my legacy;

If anyone comes after me and drinks my essence and blood, they will inherit my spiritual power.

"Hiss~~"

Yun Si Ning clicked her tongue; with just a few words, she had already realized the value of those few pages.

She looked up and met Qingyu's bright eyes.

"Senior sister..."

"Don't rush, take a look at the other two pages."

Yun Si Ning nodded and looked at the second page.

Clearly, the content of these pages is not coherent and seems to have been scattered from a book.

It was written on the second page.

"I am the 13th National Preceptor of the Great Long Dynasty. My name is Si Yiqi."

"When I wrote this scroll, it was in the year 2290 of the Dalong calendar. I was framed by treacherous officials and will soon die."

"I have compiled the essence of all the skills I have learned in my life into this book."

"If anyone in the future reads this book, it will be considered that we have some kind of connection."

"If you can find my tomb, you may also take the spiritual imprint and essence I left behind."

"I have no other requests. If you may pay me a respectful greeting as a disciple before I depart, it would be enough to settle this worldly ties."

This concludes the content on this page.

Yun Sining was a little stunned and lost in thought. She was overwhelmed by the amount of information at the moment and needed to catch her breath.

"Ning'er?"

"Don't make a sound, I'm grilling."

Yun Sining raised her hand, and after a while, she picked up the last page.

This looks like a map. Although some details are not very clear, the key parts have been completely preserved.

"After careful consideration," Yun Sining said somewhat uncertainly.

"This... looks like... a map of the Central Abyss Realm."

"Yes, that's right, it's a map of the Central Abyss Realm."

Qingyu nodded and pointed to a marked spot on the screen.

"Ning'er, look here."

"ah??"

"Could this be..."

Yun Si Ning thought of the contents on the second page.

"Yes, this should be the location of her tomb that senior mentioned."

"That senior?"

"Senior sister, do you know this Si Yiqi from the Great Long Dynasty?"

"I do know some of it."

Qingyu said slowly.

"I consulted some ancient books within the sect and gained some understanding of the Great Long Dynasty."

Immediately afterwards, Teacher Qingyu's mini-class began.

"Before the Great Long Dynasty, not only the Zhongyuan Realm, but also other realms had not yet appeared, and the entire cultivation world was still in a state of wilderness."

"Later, the first ruler of the Da Long Dynasty appeared, carved out a region in the chaotic and unruly world, and established the Da Long Dynasty."

"And the first realm established by the Great Long Dynasty was the Zhongyuan Realm."

"So, it was the Great Long Dynasty that established these boundaries?"

Yun Si Ning moved a small stool and sat down, listening attentively to Qing Yu's lecture.

"That's right. The first ruler of Dalong used his boundless power to open up one territory after another, ending the years of homelessness for the people in the wilderness."

What was it like in the primitive era?

Yun Si Ning asked.

"Although there are not many records of the barbaric period, there are still some."

"From these few words, we can tell that it was a time of primitive life, when ferocious beasts roamed freely and humans struggled to survive."

Primitive era, huh? That's interesting...

Yun Si Ning pondered.

"Let's get back to the main topic."

Qingyu tapped the blackboard and continued speaking.

"The Da Long Dynasty lasted for 8,700 years before finally collapsing."

"How did such a powerful dynasty perish?"

"Internal strife."

"Internal strife?"

Yun Si Ning was taken aback, but then thought it made perfect sense.

Think about the dynasties in history from the past. The reason they perished was either due to foreign invasion or internal strife.

"It was a rebellion by some powerful clans within the dynasty that ultimately overthrew the more than eight thousand years of rule of the Dalong Dynasty."

"After that, those major sects occupied various realms and many wars, large and small, broke out, lasting for more than three hundred years."

"After that, the large sects gradually split into many smaller sects, and our Sword Screen Mountain evolved little by little in this way."

After listening to Qingyu's story, Yun Sining seemed to be deep in thought.

"Then... Senior Sister, have you investigated that Imperial Advisor Si Yiqi?"

Si Yiqi, dying together, that's just too unlucky...

"Although it is unclear whether this Senior Si Yiqi really exists, the position of Grand Preceptor of the Great Long Dynasty is indeed real."

"The Imperial Advisor is a permanent position in the Great Long Dynasty, representing the dynasty's strongest military force. He is only replaced when the previous marshal falls or is defeated by the successor."

"Historically, the Da Long Dynasty had a total of 44 national advisors."

"8700 years, 44th term, and so on..."

Yun Si Ning counted on her fingers.

"Does this mean they only change leaders every two hundred years on average?"

"Ha ha."

Qingyu gently rubbed Yun Sining's head.

"200 years is already considered short. For those strong individuals, their peak period can often last for about 500 years."
