Da Zhi and Tianyue were two Wood Spirit Cultivators from the north, a branch lineage established when Qianmu Temple's Ancestral Master traveled the northern lands. Now, it seemed their line was on the verge of extinction.
Yang Tian finished speaking and turned to Yu Cheng Taoist to explain in detail. It stemmed from the turmoil in the north a century ago, which had sparked wars of annexation among the sects. They fought endlessly, yet in the end, no one profited, leaving only chaos in their wake.

Yu Cheng Taoist sighed after hearing this. "After all these years of scheming and calculating," he said, "it seems we're still just treading water."
