A hundred years ago.
The cultivation world witnessed a great battle, with countless deaths and injuries, leading to a steep decline in its standards.
Numerous experts perished in that massive chaos.
Among them,
The Black Monk of the Evil Sect, one of the Ghost Abyss Seven Martial Evils, possessed formidable strength and killed an uncountable number of people, once single-handedly annihilating an entire sect of ten thousand members!
It took the sacrifice of many experts just to barely kill him.
Even leading to the old monk of Dragon Zen Temple's Dantian being completely destroyed, turning him into a disabled person, now spending his days drinking in Dragon and Tiger Village.
Later, the Black Monk's body was taken away, and there were rumors that someone wanted to resurrect him using forbidden techniques.
Thus, over the years, many people were arranged to search for him.
Unfortunately, there was no trace found.
