The Immortal's Wine Store

"Master it has been ten years since we began monitoring the dragon building, but we still have yet to discover anything significant other than the marvelous effects of the wines here. Some of our disciples and Elders even started to visit this place. Because of the dragon building's presence, Hard Rock City is now bustling with activity. Many rich merchants and great families even decided to invest more in this desert region! Everyone in this place now calls Hard Rock City the Oasis of the Desert! Er... I'm sorry Vice Sect Master Valir. I got carried away..." Valir almost pounded the communication crystal in his hand when he heard the man's voice that was filled with excitement. Did he think that they were out on a vacation? 

"Shut your damn mouth and continue observing that bloody wine store!" Valir clenched his hand, turning the communication crystal into fine dust. He was itching to go there personally, but he couldn't go there yet because the Sect Master has yet to return. The good news was that Sect Master Telu called him earlier and informed him that he would return in a few more days. 

"Ten years... I've been holding myself back for ten years! Those damn disciples and Elders! How could I remain calm after they repeatedly told me stories about the dragon building's godly wines?! Dammit!" Valir cursed with gritted teeth. 

Suddenly, his spare communication crystal vibrated. 

Valir composed himself and said. "Who is this?" His voice was cold and contained a hint of irritation. 

"Valir, you sound glum. Who made you angry, old man? Haha!" A voice filled with amusement can be heard behind the crystal. 

There was only one person who would dare to speak to him like this.

Telu, the Sect Master of the Celestial Paragon Tower! 

"Sect Master!" Valir adjusted his posture, his face filled with embarrassment after having been seen through. 

"Old man, you can tell me your story later. I only called you to inform you that I would be back tonight. My mission here is finally over. Dammit! I want to have a good rest and drink an entire lake filled with wine!" 

Hearing that, Valir's eyes lit up and he immediately said. "Sect Master, good timing! I know a place that we could visit once you are here! I guarantee that you would love the place!" All of the people who went there spoke highly of the wine store, so he was confident about it. 

"Oh? In that case, await my return! We'll catch up later!" 

"Alright!" Valir kept his communication crystal with a look of anticipation. "Finally! I can leave this place and enjoy a moment of respite!" He clenched his fists as he lightly chuckled.

"Ten years. After ten years, the door of the dragon building's second floor has never opened again. Brother Jian are the people who went there last time in seclusion?" Furion recalled the time when five hundred people dressed in matching robes with golden patterns suddenly barged inside the dragon building and walked straight to the second floor. The customers at that time were so surprised when they saw the huge group's abrupt arrival. They tried asking the young waitresses about the identities of those people, but they never got an answer. 

Seated in front of him, Jian Wang calmly drank wine from his cup. At first, he ignored the silver cups provided to them, but he had suddenly taken an interest in using them. 

Jian Wang ignored the grumbling Furion and enjoyed his wine in peace. Only he knew why the second floor of the dragon building has never opened again, but he didn't tell anyone about it to avoid causing trouble for Jiu Shen. 'Jiu Shen... How long are you planning to cultivate in seclusion? If Lao Gou comes to this place, he might discover you...' He thought to himself. 

"Too bad they changed the waitresses here or I could have asked Young Miss Phoebe about what's happening..." Furion muttered helplessly.

In a separate dimension, in the world of crimson sky. 

A man with golden hair was staring at the Sealing Array Formations that he had fortified using his power. Visible cracks can be seen on the symbols of the inscriptions! Once the symbols of the Sealing Array Formations were destroyed, he could no longer block the entrance of Hell! 

Asmodeus observed the place outside his stone house and he discovered more and more Infernals camping in large groups! "They must've felt the weakening of the seals! Those bastards! They knew that I don't have the ability to split my power anymore because of the entrance and that's why they dared to camp here!" His handsome face contorted with fury when he spotted a large number of Infernals surrounding him. 

If not for his overwhelming cultivation, those sickening creatures would have already come to destroy the seals! Luckily, they were still wary of his power and they still don't have the guts to oppose him. However, it was only a matter of time before the entrance would fully open. Once that happens, trillions of hungry and ferocious Infernals would claw their way towards the only entrance to the abundant lands of the Primordial God Realm! 

Asmodeus even saw some of them looking at him with weird smiles. "A bunch of bloody bastards!" He lashed out angrily, causing the entire area to be submerged in cold temperature!

The Infernals who were camped outside the stone house felt dread in their hearts when they sensed the anger of Asmodeus, but despite their trepidation, none of them left the place. They have already grown tired and weary of this bleak and soulless land. They wanted to wreak havoc on the bright sunny land that they saw behind the entrance millions of years ago. 

The strongest Infernals had already banded together in preparation for the shattering of the seals. They have been waiting for this moment for many years and they could hardly contain the malice in their hearts! 

Seeing this scene, Asmodeus poured more spiritual power into the seals, hoping that he could buy more time. "Not yet! I, Asmodeus, have not given up yet!"
