Chapter 286: History (2/2)

The book talked about using the lilies to cultivate and unlock the spiritual sea. That wasn't anything new to him, but it was a good start. He now knew that he would be able to perhaps find more information if he went up the floor.

He went to the cultivation section and searched for bodies. There was some information but none of it was what he wanted to learn.

He decided to leave the floor once more after remembering the formation books of this floor.

He walked up to the 6th floor and searched around for any information he could find. He went to the artifact section for the yang jades but there were none anymore.

The alchemy section didn't have much for Spirit Cleansing Lilies either. At least, the information they did have was useless to him.

He was a little excited on the lower floor, but it seemed he would have to look around some more. He wanted to go to the cultivation section to look for more information on the lily and bodies but instead stopped, because of what he saw in one of the other sections.

The section he stopped at was History and the book that caught his attention was The Entire History of the Crimson Empire.

'Oh, history of this empire, huh? I'm quite curious,' he thought and started reading.

Before the Crimson Empire was formed, the place was called the Shattered Kingdoms. There were multiple small countries that ruled their own lands and were in constant war with each other.

Each of these kingdoms had their own king that tried to fight against other kingdoms to add those lands to their own country.

The kings were obviously a cultivator, so the mortals remained in fear every day, hoping this wasn't the day that they were randomly attacked and killed.

The different cultivators showed no mercy to anyone they met and freely killed people in the name of their kings. The war-trodden times were a time of terror and fear.

Each of the kings wanted to rule over the entire land, but they were all equal in strength so they couldn't do anything to each other. The king's armies weren't very strong either when compared to the others.

So, this caused a lot of small skirmishes and battles that simply showed aggression for the sake of aggression. None of the kings could win against the other kings and they knew it.

That, however, lasted for not so long. A person appeared out of nowhere and became the king of a small land near the southern forest called the Cardinal Kingdom.

The name of this illustrious person who was going to change the stability amongst the different kingdoms was Fu Qiong.
