Chapter 119: HisStory
"A new, evolved theory that emerges from the mix. It answers all of the contradictions and unanswered questions we have faced so far. Let me list them one by one...
"One, what is the source of power behind the circle of laws? What exactly keeps such a massive design active?
The answer is the qi, constantly being extracted from the meridians of the sealed cultivator, whose realm of cultivation is very, very high.
"Two, Why is such a Holy Land so desolate, filled with skeletons, rotten corpses, and terrifying zombies? And why is it so brutal towards the explorers? Why would anyone design an inheritance site here, out of all places?
The answer is that it wasn’t originally intended to be an inheritance ground, to begin with. These tests had never been planned by the authorities of the sect, who had possibly vacated this place or died long ago. Someone else arranged it all after the desolation of the Holy Land.
"Three, what is the aim of designing such a gigantic, yet contradictory mechanism? The creator of the jail could certainly not be so dumb.
"The answer is that the contradictions only appeared when the prison was turned into an open trap. Imagine it all sequentially now.
"A thriving sect suddenly falls under a great threat, a danger that they fail to counter. The entire sect is decimated. But in one corner of its territory, there is a prison sealed so perfectly that the disaster does not affect it much, except perhaps weakening its defenses a little.
"A powerful cultivator is sealed in this prison, and he sees the opportunity to finally escape. He begins to manipulate the mechanisms of the prison slowly, planting loopholes and contradictory elements in the laws that were keeping the prison intact.
