Qiu Hao's expression shifted from bitterness to embarrassment, and after a moment's pause, he continued, "That's one reason. The second is that we can't take He Brother with us this time. Please don't misunderstand, He Brother; if we are fortunate enough to obtain that item, I will definitely bring you a share." Qiu Hao slapped his forehead, while the other three lowered their heads to gaze at the flames in the fire pit, leaving only the crackling sound of burning firewood in the yard.
"There’s no need for you to feel this way, Big Brother Qiu. I understand. Given my current situation, I can't even step out of this courtyard. If I did, I would surely find myself in danger, and it would also implicate all of you. I will just wait here," Mo Wen sighed. Even though he was interested in what they were discussing, it was impossible for him to go now. Besides, he had a rough idea of what the four were talking about. "Big Brother Qiu, can you tell me now? I'm quite curious."
"You truly are a reasonable person, He Brother. Do you know the origin of Cold Ice City?" Seeing that Mo Wen recognized the situation, Qiu Hao continued.
"I come from a remote place and have only heard some rumors about Cold Ice City. They say it was built by a great figure on the cold ice; is there another legend about this city?" Mo Wen asked with curiosity. When Old Lu had told him about worldly matters before, he mentioned Cold Ice City, which was not far from what he had heard here. However, looking at the expressions of the four, Mo Wen knew there must be another story.
"What you know is indeed not wrong, but it's not the whole story. You must have heard of the Gobi Desert outside the city. What I'm about to tell you is related to that," Qiu Hao said, seemingly trying to pique Mo Wen's interest without revealing everything right away. It was Xia Lao Er who picked up where Qiu Hao left off. "It is said that Cold Ice City already existed in ancient times. Although it was small back then, it was bustling with activity and trade flourished..."
Under the moonlight in the small courtyard, the five sat around the fire pit, exchanging words as they recounted tales to Mo Wen. The mute occasionally made sounds and gestures while Mo Wen chimed in from time to time. The legends they spoke of were both expected and surprising. According to them, Cold Ice City was located in the heart of this continent during ancient times, and the true core of this continent lay within the Cangyun Gobi just outside the northern gate. Although there were exaggerations in their words, it was clear that society during ancient times was incredibly prosperous; sects were abundant on this continent, and Xuantian Sect was likely one of them. Currently, the Cangyun Gobi had once been a stronghold for a sect, with Cold Ice City merely being a town adjacent to it.
"In the late ancient period, humanity faced an almost exterminating Great Catastrophe. This disaster swept across the entire world, originating from Yun Cang Gobi," as Qiu Hao spoke of ancient times, everyone’s eyes filled with longing; yet when he mentioned that disaster, they all shook their heads and sighed.
"A disaster? What kind of catastrophe could wield such power to affect the entire world?" Compared to the prosperity of ancient times, Mo Wen was more interested in what exactly the Great Catastrophe was. He had heard about it before but no one could clearly explain what it truly entailed.
"There are many theories; no one can specify what it was exactly, but its origin lies here, and the final battle took place here as well. It is said that during that battle half of the continent sank and became part of what is now known as Mist Sea. It is also said that this battle led to the extinction of all life within entire sects," upon hearing this Mo Wen couldn't help but gasp in shock. What kind of battle could sink half a continent? The most powerful fight he had witnessed so far was between Old Lu and his white-clad junior sister; he couldn't imagine what it would be like if real combat broke out among those formidable beings.
