Duan Tianya sighed deeply, his expression becoming even more gloomy.
"Uncle Master, what are you talking about?" Zhao Sining asked curiously, suppressing his anxiety.
"This barrier was accidentally discovered by our ancestors at Zhengying Academy nearly ten thousand years ago. It is speculated that countless ancient masters died in fierce battles, and their cultivation did not immediately dissipate between heaven and earth after their death. Due to the time, terrain, and some other opportunities, the barrier was formed.
Legend has it that when this barrier was discovered, an academy veteran felt the pressure of an ancient mythical beast, though it wasn't overpowering. It was likely the remains of a fallen beast. Even if it were just a fragment, it would be extremely beneficial for our top swordsmen on the Holy Court Continent to understand the mysteries of heaven and earth and break through their limits. Therefore, the veterans are searching with all their might.
But after searching for so long, they found nothing. The oppressive aura suddenly vanished, and could no longer be felt. Even the ancestors suspected their perception was flawed, and so they gave up their search. Because the natural energy in this valley was not overly strong, and the beasts were neither too strong nor too weak, it was perfectly suited for swordsmen to train and cultivate, and so it was transformed into a trial ground.
Over time, the legend became a legend, and the so-called ancient mythical beast became a topic of conversation among the mentors after dinner.
Some have speculated that the remains of an ancient mythical beast may have once lain within the Valley of Exotic Beasts, but that the lingering spirit dissipated between heaven and earth as the ancestors opened the barrier. Another possibility is that the remains were actually sealed away, and that the barrier's opening triggered the seal, temporarily allowing the beast's aura to escape. The seal then quickly stabilized, concealing it.
Of course, it was just a guess, no one took it seriously, and no one would take it seriously. But with such an unexpected situation happening in the barrier, maybe the rumor is true, and that person's guess was correct. "Pang Dezong explained patiently.
"Uncle Master, what you mean is that they accidentally broke the seal and found the remains of the mythical beast, and because the aura of the mythical beast was condensed and not dissipated, they closed the barrier?" Zhao Sining had learned alchemy after all. Although he had not made much progress, he still had some knowledge and speculated.
"It's not necessarily that they opened the seal. Whether it's a seal or a barrier, it needs someone to constantly bless it. This barrier has been constantly blessed by generations of alchemists in our lineage, so it can naturally be maintained. The seal will gradually open on its own without anyone blessing it." Pang Dezong corrected.
"Then I feel relieved. If that's the case, there won't be any risk in closing the barrier. It might even be a great opportunity." Zhao Sining finally felt relieved and said with ease.
"It would be great if it were really as you think." Pang Dezong smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "You don't know that the so-called ancient beasts are not all kind, there are also many evil and cruel ones among them.
According to records, countless human masters perished at the hands of that ferocious beast in ancient times. If the legend is true, and they truly find the remains of that ancient beast, it's doubtful anyone will survive.
Zhao Si Ning's face suddenly turned pale. He wailed miserably in his heart, "Goddess, what should I do with my goddess?"
Beside them, Duan Tianya and others also looked gloomy.
If it was just a simple barrier problem, the swordsmen in the Valley of Exotic Beasts wouldn't be in any immediate danger, and they would eventually be able to find a way to rescue them. But if it was as Pang Dezong said, then there would be a huge problem.
There are thousands of family members. If they all die in the Valley of Exotic Beasts, how will they explain it?
