Inside the dimly lit inn, the air was thick with tension, as four figures sat around a low wooden table.
They wore dark robes, their faces concealed behind black hoods, but the overwhelming pressure of their Qi saturated the room.
It was clear they were no ordinary cultivators.
The innkeeper and any other guests had long since fled, sensing the terrifying aura of the four peak-level cultivators who now occupied the space.
That's right, there were peak level master cultivators.
Each one of them was a Nascent Soul cultivator, a realm where life force became near-limitless, and the soul could separate from the body... an attainment only those at the pinnacle of cultivation could hope to reach.
( You can separate soul from body at soul wandering realm, realm below nascent soul )
These were no simple old hermit-type cultivators.
