The city lord took a sip of tea, paused, and said, "Tens of thousands of years ago, our land also had an owner. However, according to legend, after a great war with another monarch, the monarch of our land died, and our land became ownerless. That monarch did not take back this land, but instead set a curse, requiring the people of our land to live in dire straits and suffer from it for generations."
At this point, he sighed and said, "This is the hatred between the two monarchs, but it has brought disaster to us innocent people. From then on, there is no more night and starry sky in our world. Over the years, the weather here has been hot, and the water source has become less and less."
He looked at the teacup in his hand and the tea in it, and said, "Perhaps within a few hundred years, all the people in our world will die out and become a land of death."
Feng Jiu was silent. She had not expected this to be the reason. But, being cursed by the Lord of Heaven and Earth? Could it make the sun never set? This made her a little confused. After all, even though the Lord of Heaven and Earth was the king of a region, he could not make the sun never set by a curse as he said.
"As far as I know, even the monarch of heaven and earth cannot interfere with the movement of the sun, moon and stars, right?" Du Fan's voice came from the table next to him.
"That's right. Therefore, some powerful people in Nevernight have discussed this issue before, but they have never found an answer. For tens of thousands of years, the highest level of cultivation here is the Nascent Soul cultivator. Perhaps it's because of the lack of spiritual energy in this land, or maybe it's because of something else, there has never been a cultivator above the Nascent Soul level."
The city lord sighed and said, "Our strength is limited. Even if we want to break this curse, we have no way to start. Moreover, you are from other worlds, so you don't know that there is a Qilin Mountain here. According to legend, there is an ancient Qilin beast trapped there. That Qilin beast was the contracted beast of the monarch of our world tens of thousands of years ago. Every once in a while, strong men at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage will form a team to go to Qilin Mountain to find the Qilin beast, but they have never been able to find the location of the Qilin beast."
Hearing this, Fengjiu's heart moved slightly, and a strange color flashed across her eyes. Ancient Qilin beast? There is an ancient Qilin beast in this place
She lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, and suppressed the excitement in her heart. She thought that Xiao Yue'er's contracted beast was found, but she didn't know where to find Xiao Muchen's contracted beast. She didn't expect that there was an ancient Qilin beast trapped in this place
Du Fan and the others were also slightly surprised. They looked at each other and then at Feng Jiu, only to see her holding the teacup as if thinking about something. They all remained silent and did not speak to disturb her.
"How far is Qilin Mountain from here?" Fengjiu put down her teacup, looked up at the city lord and asked.
Hearing this, the city lord was slightly stunned. He looked at Feng Jiu and said, "It's at least seven or eight days away from here, and it's at the speed of flying on a sword." He then said, "A few days ago, I received a post from several Yuanying cultivators inviting me to go to Qilin Mountain to look for the ancient Qilin."
"Since you return empty-handed every year, why do you still go every year?" Ye Feifei asked curiously.
