There was a special totem 9,000 meters up the Supreme Beginning Netherflight Pillar. It was a figure covering its face with its hands, seated on a moon. Not very many people knew about this totem, yet it wasn’t top secret. It was just that the totem represented something considered taboo, and therefore, the people who knew of it weren’t inclined to talk about it.3

After taking control of the Supreme Beginning Netherflight Pillar, the swordsages had studied the totem and came to realize that it depicted one of the moons of the Revered Ancient mainland.0

Revered Ancient was a massive place that didn’t just have a single moon. Nor did it have only a single sun. From ancient times until modern, the number of suns and moons had never been fixed. Generally, they had increased over time. In fact, when the broken face of the god arrived, there were thirty-seven suns and thirty-seven moons. They were scattered in different parts of Revered Ancient, and would all shine in the sky at the same time. What was more, every few thousand years, they would adjust their position to ensure that their light was more widely distributed.29

Even still, the Revered Ancient mainland was so vast that many areas didn’t benefit from sunlight. There were some species who were used to living in darkness. At the same time, there were other species who never even saw darkness.7

When the broken face of the god arrived, the suns and moons suffered heavy casualties....3
