"The devastation unleashed by the sect war led to the downfall of countless doctrines."
"The banishment of the sects by Emperor Xia to the outer regions deepened the frost on their existence."
"'Outer regions' ostensibly refers to territories beyond the nation, but in reality, it denotes the small spatial worlds opened up by Divine Beings. These beings, rooted in the ancient Nine States, exercised their supreme divine powers."
So that was why, Shen Zhui realized. No wonder each war against a sect required breaking its barrier.
"Imagine the vast wasteland of the Nine Nether mountain range as an ocean, and these small worlds as underwater vessels. The stronger the sect, the deeper it can dive. Its concealment would thus be higher, its lifespan longer and its surfacing intervals longer."
"On the other hand, weaker sects can only survive in shallower waters. Their concealment is mediocre and they surface more frequently, making them easier to detect."
