<h4>Chapter 463: Hard Rock City</h4>
Jiu Shen slowly opened his eyes.
Ignoring the crowd from the Heavenly Sword Tower, he observed the surroundings using his spiritual vision. Strangely enough, his spiritual vision wasn''t working like how it was in Nuar. Jiu Shen didn''t be weak, instead, there was a force that prevented his spiritual perception from moving further. This was the restriction from the world itself, meaning, everyone''s strength would be much weaker here!
It didn''t take long for Jiu Shen to adapt to the changes, but the others found it difficult to adjust themselves to the new environment. However, they didn''t panic.
It was nighttime in this ce and the sky had three moons of different sizes. Everyone also saw a floating ind with three towers sitting on top of it. They had so many questions, but they knew that it wasn''t the right time to ask for answers. Besides, they would be living here from now on, so their questions would be answered soon.
"Where are we?" Theia approached Jiu Shen. She checked their surroundings, but she couldn''t identify their current location. Her spiritual power was also weaker than Jiu Shen, so the scope of her spiritual vision was limited.
Jiu Shen nced at the floating ind above them and the ruined buildings all over the ce. He frowned with an unsure look. "If I remember correctly, there should be a small sect here, but even after using my spiritual vision, I couldn''t spot any buildings in the vicinity. Maybe I''m wrong..." He muttered to himself as he walked towards the broken debris.
Jiu Shen squatted down and saw a rusty name que. Although some words appeared to be unreadable, Jiu Shen was still able to read the words.
''Blue Wave Sect''
"No... This is the ce, but the sect that was supposed to be here was already destroyed. And looking at how aged this rusted name que is, this sect has been destroyed for millions upon millions of years." The materials used to build this building were special and it didn''t decay that much even after millions of years.
Theia took the rusted name que from Jiu Shen''s hands. "Blue Wave Sect... This is the sect that built its sect building near the ocean!"
She finally remembered an obscure memory from her past life. This was a peace-loving sect that isted itself from the eyes of the public. She wondered how the Blue Wave Sect was destroyed. Did it fail to survive the ravages of time or did someone destroy it?
"That''s right. This ce was once an ocean..." Jiu Shen muttered as he rose to his feet. He then nced at Ren Shuang and said. "Tell the disciples to build a temporary camp here, while the elders must check the area for any possible dangers."
Ren Shuang nodded his head and immediately informed everyone.
"Theia, I''ll find someone and ask for information about the current status quo of the Primordial God Realm. It seems like many things happened when we died..." Jiu Shen didn''t know what happened here when they were gone, so it was better to find information first.
Jiu Shen left and trod the ce with the memory of his past life. From what he could remember, there was a city one thousand miles north of the Blue Wave Sect. It was a major trading city with millions of people living within.
"I hope Blue Rift City survived..." Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he used his space maniption abilities to speed up his flight.
Not longter, Jiu Shen saw a small city surrounded by tall walls. "What happened to the vast ocean here?" He was perplexed by the massive changes he saw.
Jiu Shennded in front of the huge wooden gates and saw a long line of people going in and out of the city. There were more than a dozen human guards dressed in te armor observing the crowd with hawk-like gazes. These guards were Nascent God Realm experts!
Jiu Shen could just directly fly inside the city, but he didn''t want to cause trouble on their first day of return. Besides, his strength wasn''t what it used to be, so it was better to be low-profiled. There might be strong experts inside, so it was good to be careful.
"5 God Stones to enter Hard Rock City." A guard said to Jiu Shen in a strict and monotonous voice.
Jiu Shen took out five pieces of God Stones and gave them to the guard. The guards then made way for him after he paid for the entrance.
"Hard Rock City? What''s going on? I should find someone and asked what happened during the past millions of years..." Jiu Shen walked around the city to search for a pub. It was the best ce to ask for information since everything there can be bought with money.
This city wasn''t just inhabited by humans. There were also people from other races. Everyone seemed to be living in harmony despite the massive difference in their looks.
After walking for thirty minutes, Jiu Shen found a pub and entered it. Upon entering, he noticed that this ce was quite popr since there were quite a few customers present. Everyone was busy chatting with their respective groups and no one seemed to notice Jiu Shen.
"One bottle of your best wine..." Jiu Shen said to the old humanoid bartender who was wiping wine sses using a clean white cloth. This guy had a dark green skin and he was wearing a formal set of clothes. He looked unique and amicable, but Jiu Shen wouldn''t be fooled by this.
Jiu Shen already sensed that this old bartender was the strongest among everyone inside this pub. He was a Mystic God Realm expert! This kind of expert could already be an overlord in Nuar, but in here, he was just a bartender.
The old bartender nced briefly at Jiu Shen before taking out a bottle of wine from the shelf behind him. He then ced the bottle in front of Jiu Shen together with a clean wine ss.
"Sky Jade. 50 God Stones." The old man muttered softly.
Jiu Shen took out a bunch of God Stones and gave them to the old man. He then asked. "Can I ask a question?"
The old man raised his head and stared at Jiu Shen. "My answers aren''t free." He answered.
Jiu Shen smiled and took out a small sack filled with God Stones. "I''m not short on money..."
