The black gave way to show the image of a building made of red stone.

Ouyang Zizhen hummed in interest, "Nightless City, though it looks different,"

"This is how it looked before the Wen Sect and the cultivation world went to war," Wei WuXian informed.

Wen Qing couldn't help but comment, "Do not be fooled by how bright it is. Living in Qishan is learning to walk on eggshells,"

It shifted again to show Yunmeng and Lotus Pier.

Jiang WanYin and Wei WuXian both sucked in harsh breaths. Jin Ling tilted his head, narrowing his eyes, "Something's off..."

"This was before..." Jiang WanYin exhaled softly, "Before everything,"

Another change, this time, QingHe, followed by Gusu.

Once again, Lan WangJi's breath tightened slightly and Grandmaster Lan looked nostalgic. The two Lan juniors frowned, "The library pavilion is different..."
