Nowadays, the Upper Nether Ruined City no longer retains the glory of being the portal to the Holy Land.
The massive hand seal that descended from the heavens split the huge Immortal City into seven regions.
The giant pit in the middle is filled with rolling lava all day long and is called the "Heavenly Fire Basin."
The remaining six relatively intact areas accommodate a large number of Rogue Cultivators living and practicing there.
So lant the collapse of the Immortal City, but the rogue cultivators living here clap their hands in celebration.
If the Dark Abyss Sect hadn’t been destroyed, where would they find such a cultivation treasure land?
Led by the Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator Old Monster Ge, a group of Golden Core Cultivators worked together to clear the blocked Spirit Vein, gradually restoring so past splendor to Upper Nether Immortal City.
A group of strong cultivators lived separately, each occupying a region.
On this day.
A cultivator with a flushed face quietly waited outside a foggy array.
After a while, the fog dispersed, and Chu Mo looked at the visitor in surprise.
"Friend Feng, how co you have the ti to visit ?"
Feng Yinuo laughed heartily and shook the chilly gourd in his hand.
"I found a bottle of Ice Wine; among the nearby people, only you and I share a taste for fine wine, so naturally, I had to share it with you. Besides, you helped fend off a deadly enemy last ti, and I’ve been thinking of a way to repay you. I figured a bottle of wine you wouldn’t refuse."
Chu Mo showed a look of joy, rubbing his hands together, he said, "Is it the Ice Wine brewed by the Dieyun Sect back in the day?"
Feng Yinuo smiled proudly, "Exactly! Since the fall of the Dieyun Sect, various popular Spirit Wines have beco scarce in the market, especially this Ice Wine. I had to go through great efforts to find this gourd in the black market."
After speaking, he nodded inward.
"Aren’t you going to invite in?"
Chu Mo chuckled, "Please co in, please co in!"
If Feng Yinuo had brought sothing else to repay him, he might not have accepted it, as the help he provided was just a small effort.
But for soone as addicted to wine as he is, the Ice Wine known as the pseudo-Fourth Order is absolutely the top of the line.
Even back when his small clan was still intact, he could only enjoy a few cups a year.
Since that’s the case, why refuse!
The two entered the cave mansion and started downing cups of wine.
They chatted without reservation about various matters.
"Your Chu Family, back then, was considered a prestigious clan in the Tianji Zen Domain; how did it fall so quickly?"
"A fire at the city gate brings disaster to the fish in the moat!"
"But I heard that when the Demon Emperor attacked the Tiandu Sect, they didn’t attack the Tianji Zen Domain?"
"Alas, the trouble wasn’t from those Demon Emperors, but from the karma left by that old baldy Monk Hui Ping!"
"You an, the Demon Suppression Tower?"
"Yes, after Monk Hui Ping died in the Million Mountains, the Demon Suppression Tower was left unattended. Over the years, the seal loosened, and the heretic devils that were suppressed inside finally broke free. Friend Feng, just think about it; they’ve been suppressed for so many years, how much resentnt would they have in their hearts? Once released, they started a killing spree. If I hadn’t been fighting at Lingtian Pass back then, I might have died at ho, too. It’s just a pity for those clansn of mine!"
"Who isn’t in a similar situation? I once established a small sect, presided over it with great pomp. Now the sect’s gate is gone, and I’ve beco a Rogue Cultivator I once looked down upon."
The Human and Demon War, which lasted nearly two centuries, had an enormous impact.
It completely overturned the three thousand years of stability in the Eastern Wasteland.
Even though there are still a few famous Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects standing, countless small sects and families have been destroyed overnight.
Are the many Golden Core Period rogue cultivators in the Upper Nether Ruined City really rogue cultivators?
Perhaps not!
Take the most formidable one, Old Monster Ge; I heard he was once a True Disciple of a Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect, with prospects of forming a Nascent Soul!
Recalling past events, the two couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
Chu Mo knocked on the table, "Why dwell on these sad mories; let’s drink, let’s drink!"
Feng Yinuo laughed heartily, "Yes, today we’ll only talk about love and life, not sad things. We’re carefree now, with no worries about family sects dragging us down; this fine wine, finally we don’t have to drink sparingly!"
The two laughed heartily and drank even more enthusiastically.
However, gradually, Chu Mo felt sothing was off.
"Brother Feng, this Ice Wine is too strong; why do I feel so cold all over?"
Feng Yinuo also felt a chilly sensation, but he didn’t mind, "Isn’t it nice to cool down? Nowadays the Upper Nether Ruined City is unbearably hot due to the Heavenly Fire Basin’s influence, perhaps this Ice Wine, having aged for many years, developed such a wondrous effect!"
Chu Mo let out an oh, feeling it was reasonable.
But after a little while, he finally noticed sothing was amiss.
"It’s not from the stomach, it’s from the outer world!"
He suddenly spread out his Divine Consciousness to sense the situation.
Feng Yinuo, after a brief stupefaction, did the sa.
Soon, they discovered the source of the chilling cold.
On a broken mountain top, a large quantity of Spirit Qi was continuously gathering, emitting a terrifying coldness.
Wherever the Spirit Qi passed, frost ford, like winter cold.
Even the scorching air from the Heavenly Fire Basin was temporarily suppressed.
Seeing this scene, the two exchanged a look and couldn’t help but swallow a gulp of saliva.
"Drawing in Heaven and Earth Qi, an on is birthed; soone is breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage!"
"Could that place be Old Monster Ge?"
"No, even though Old Monster Ge mainly cultivates in water attributes, an ordinary Five Elents Spirit Root Cultivator breaking through to the Nascent Soul wouldn’t cause such an odd phenonon. Could it be soone else?"
The two stopped speculating, left their cave mansion, and found a place to watch from afar.
Though their reaction was a bit slow.
