Historical records state that before Great Yan had unified the land, there were nine major feudal states in this world. These nine states waged wars against each other, killing each other. At that time, both the court and Jianghu were in extreme chaos, giving rise to countless experts and figures of great significance.
The Old Man of Lost Souls was just one of them. Aside from him, many other masters emerged, and to this day, among the seven major factions of Great Yan, the Yu Heng Sword Sect and the Blue River Sect were founded then and have continued to this day.
Moving further back in time, before the chaos of the Nine Kingdoms, there reigned the immensely powerful Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, the historical records only document the prosperity and glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As for why such a dominant dynasty fell into decay, suddenly crumbling and disintegrating, there is no record, as if out of the blue, the powerful Great Zhou Dynasty had declined.
