"Because that history had long since been buried in the river of time.
"What we could encounter was the Land of Destruction left behind after that great war."
"The Land of Destruction?" Xu Zimo frowned slightly.
It was also his first time hearing of this place.
"Some said the Land of Destruction had been cursed, that land was the final resting place of death."
Venerable Nu said, "You'll understand once you get there.
"Ever since the Blood Beasts were sealed, not a blade of grass has grown on that land. No plant can survive there.
"The earth is brown, steeped in despair and helplessness."
"How do we get there?" Xu Zimo asked.
"The Land of Destruction lies beside the Slaughter Immortal Sect. Head west from our Heavenly Dao Academy.
"Once you pass through the Immortal City of the Slaughter Immortal Sect, you'll arrive," Venerable Nu replied.
"But unlike other places, the Land of Destruction is unclaimed territory.
"Even Imperial Dynasty Immortal Sects cannot govern it. It is a true dark zone.
"So once you get there, be careful."
Venerable Nu drew out the rough location on a beast hide, stroke by stroke.
Then he gave many more instructions about the place.
Xu Zimo nodded slightly.
"Oh, right, isn't the Slaughter Immortal Sect's Holy Maiden studying at our academy?" Venerable Nu suddenly said.
"Her name seemed to be Ji Ruobing. You can travel with her.
"You'll have someone to watch your back along the way."
"What do I need someone to watch my back for?" Xu Zimo waved his hand.
"Women only affect the speed at which I draw my blade."
"You still have to pass through their territory," Venerable Nu said.
"And the Slaughter Immortal Sect—if you can avoid conflict there, then avoid it."
"I know," Xu Zimo nodded faintly.
