"To be honest with you, Sect Master, I don't really know all the details either. My cultivation wasn't very strong back then, so I simply wasn't qualified to know such things. All I know is that everyone at the Half-step Divine Realm and above went away, and once they left, they completely vanished. All the major families and sects went into decline. Over the years, most of those former families and sects have disappeared, leaving only a small handful barely managing to hold on."
Ye Chen's expression grew solemn. This matter was of the utmost importance to him.
If breaking through to the Divine Realm meant having to go to that so-called place...
wouldn't that mean being separated from his loved ones forever?
Ye Chen would never allow such a thing to happen, not even if it meant facing a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.
"I see!"
The First Elder looked at Ye Chen and said softly, "Sect Master, you are still young, gifted with extraordinary intelligence, and possess a natural aptitude unlike anyone before you. You still have a very long road ahead of you. Do not let these secret legends tie you down. Focus on cultivating peacefully within the sect, and in time, the Martial Dao World will surely regain its former glory!"
