Chapter 583 – Luo T and the Great Jin Dynasty
”Your Excellency called this place the Land of the Underworld, could it be that this place has anything to do with the rumored Realm of the Netherworld, and where exactly is this place located? The mana in our bodies is forbidden, I wonder if there is a way to restore it as it was before? Most importantly, I don’t want to stay here and still want to go back outside, so I would like to ask the Elder to point a clear path out.” Han Li’s brows furrowed before he let out a long breath and asked.
”Go back? If we could really go back easily, would we people still remain stranded here, living this precarious life every day? You have to know that most of the people in this place were born to live in this netherworld, and only a very small portion of them were sucked into this place by the strange fog, just like you and me. And most of the outsiders were devoured by those shadowy beasts as soon as they entered this place, and only the lucky ones survived and escaped to the village for various reasons. Our friends and family, likewise, are all out there now.” The old man shook his head and said with a sigh.
Han Li was momentarily speechless in his heart as he heard these words!
”As for where this place actually is, is it related to the Realm of the Netherworld? Who knows about that? However, many seniors who arrived here before us have speculated on this. One kind is similar to what you, Dao Friend, said, believing that this should be a place where the Nether Realm and the Human Realm meet in a spatial rift, which is why there is such a thick Yin Underworld Qi in this place, but it is not able to form a Yin Underworld Beast that is too powerful.”
”The other, on the other hand, believes that there is no Nether Realm in this world at all, and that it’s just some cultivators spreading falsehoods. They believe that this place should be the belly of the legendary beast —- LuoT. Only the legend can swallow the sun and the moon, and can instantly break the space shuttle of this magical beast, can explain the strange fog will appear in different seas, and every few years, this place will only be connected with the outside world once. To know, the legendary Luo Demonic Beast, is also the nature of the hidden depths of the seabed, and a long period of time, only once to eat.”
”Luo Demonic Beasts? How is that possible! This Demonic Beast is even more unreliable than that Nether Realm. I don’t think this beast really exists in our realm.” Upon hearing this assumption from the old man, Han Li’s face changed drastically.
”Not bad, when I first heard this statement, I was also shocked beyond measure in the same way as fellow Daoist. But I have to say that this conjecture, although absurd, is indeed somewhat possible. If it is true that the spatial rift is always open, it should also be at a certain point in the outside world, fixed and unchanging to open, but in reality, every time the Land of the Underworld and the outside world are connected, the people who are sucked in come from a number of different sea areas. These people have never even heard of the names of the other seas. For example, in my case, I came from the small island in the Gulf South State of the Great Jin Dynasty, while other cultivators, some came from the Five Dragon Sea, some came from the coast of the Tiansha Continent, and others came from the Sea of Chaotic Stars. Before everyone got acquainted, most of them didn’t know exactly where the sea that the other party was talking about was located.” The old man said leisurely.
”The Great Jin Dynasty! Fellow Daoist is a cultivator from Jin?” Han Li, however, revealed a hint of surprise. This was exactly the name of the super empire he had heard of when he was in Tiannan.
”Could it be that fellow Daoist is also from our Great Jin Dynasty?” The old man’s eyes immediately lit up.
”That’s not true. But Mister Han has heard people talk about it once or twice and knows that it’s a mega country! I’ve always longed for it, but it’s a pity that I didn’t have the chance to go.” Han Li shook his head and said.
”Such ah! It’s really a bit of a pity. I really hope that old man still has the chance to go back!” The old man revealed a few disappointed looks.
”Heh heh! If you, Fellow Daoist, go to our Great Jin, then you will know what is called the true Immortal Cultivation World. As far as I know, although there are many other regions in this world where Immortal Cultivators hang out, none of them can be compared to our Great Jinn and can be so large and prosperous. To say that our Great Jin is the holy land of cultivators in this realm is by no means an exaggeration.” As soon as he spoke of his hometown, this old man’s brows danced.
Han Li rubbed his nose, and although his face smiled bitterly in anticipation, he was moved in his heart by the other party’s words.
”Hehe, what the old man said is a bit off topic. Fellow Daoist just inquired about this place and whether there is a way to return to your magical powers and aptitudes, I can clearly tell you that as long as you stay in this land of the Yin Underworld, you should not fantasize that your previous aptitudes can still come back. In addition to the Yin Underworld Qi, there also exists something we call the Absolute Spirit Qi. They are usually found deep within the lungs of the earth, but regularly erupt from the depths of the earth, permeating the entire space. As long as a cultivator is in their area of influence, he will lose all his magic powers and aptitudes, and this is something that cannot be solved. You guys were sucked in this time, didn’t you just happen to coincide with the opening of the crack and the eruption of the Absolute Spirit Qi at the same time?” The old man said with a faint smile.
Hearing the old man mention this matter, Han Li felt a pang of depression in his heart. If he hadn’t stumbled upon such an unlucky thing, he wouldn’t have been ingested into this place by a mere ghost fog, and would have long ago run away to get away there somehow.
”Having entered this place, is there really no hope of getting out? I’m still a bit unconvinced!” Han Li was silent for a while and said unwillingly.
”It can’t be said that way, the method of going out is put there in a grand manner, but it also requires someone to be able to do it!” The old man twirled his beard and said unhurriedly.
”What method?” Han Li’s heart rejoiced, and his mouth hurriedly pursued the question.
On the side, hearing the old man’s previous words, Mei Ning, who was looking red and white, couldn’t help but be energized as well.
”This ……” the old man did not reply immediately, instead revealing a hint of hesitation and contemplation.
”Why, is there any inconvenience for fellow Daoist?” Han Li’s expression twitched, revealing a hint of a strange expression.
”Don’t misunderstand the two of you, there’s nothing to hide! Although I wish to have one or two more cultivators in the village, I won’t make things difficult for the two of you with pure intentions. I’m just afraid that the two of you are eager to go out and give up your lives in vain!” Seeing the change in Han Li and Mei Ning’s expressions, the old man’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said with deep meaning.
Hearing this, Han Li was first stunned, but immediately laughed lightly.
”Don’t worry, although Mister Han looks young, he is also a cultivator who has been practicing for many years and will not act recklessly. If it’s really something that can’t be done, I will never risk my life. However, Mister Han still wants to listen to what you said about the method of getting out of the situation first, to see where exactly the difficulty lies.” After Han Li’s smile was restrained, he asked solemnly.
”Since you, Fellow Daoist, have said so, then the old man will no longer hide it.” After pondering for a moment, the fat old man still agreed and walked out of the hall, and stood at the doorway looking into the distance with his head raised, not knowing what he was pondering.
……
”Brother Han, what exactly are we going to do? Are you really going to climb that Storm Mountain?” Mei Ning asked as she stood behind Han Li, her red lips biting. At this moment, her face was extremely pale. She was utterly despairing of the method of getting away that the old man had said, believing that it was simply impossible to reach this condition.
”I haven’t considered it for a while, but there’s always a way to try.” Han Li looked at the sky and said indifferently.
When Mei Ning heard this, her complexion flickered, and she was about to say something else when footsteps suddenly approached the two of them. A tanned teenager, aged fifteen or sixteen, curiously walked over.
”The two of you are newcomers, right? I was ordered by the elders to bring you two to the residence. Because you two are newcomers, the first three days’ food is free to eat, but you will have to go on a mission afterward to do so. Otherwise, you will have to leave the village and make your own way.” The teenager stared with dark eyes and said skillfully.
”Alright, lead the way!” Han Li said noncommittally.
The teenager nodded and without further ado, directly led the two of them, toward a corner of the village. After a moment’s effort, the teenager brought the duo to a fairly tidy stone house.
When Mei Ning saw inside the house, there was only a stone bed that barely slept the two of them, her face instantly turned red.
”Why is there only one bed here?” This woman hesitantly asked the teenager.
”When a man and a woman are together, isn’t it necessary to sleep in a bed?” The teenager blinked, but asked back somewhat strangely.
Hearing this, Mei Ning’s face blushed even more, and although she wanted to explain something, she was unable to speak for a moment.
”Let’s sleep separately and just bring another stone bed.” Han Li surveyed the outer room at this time and turned back to the teenager and said blandly.
The teenager bristled, and although somewhat reluctant, he agreed and walked out.
”You take a rest first, I’ll take a look around the rest of the village first!” As soon as Han Li waited for the teenager to go out, he said to the woman without refusal. A trace of bewilderment appeared on Mei Ning’s jade face, but then she silently nodded without saying anything.
Han Li no longer hesitated to walk out of the house, and after looking around for a moment, he took large strides towards the high stone platform in the center. He was still quite interested in the method of manipulating that Yin Underworld Power.
There weren’t any guards around the stone platform, so Han Li easily approached the platform. Because the stone platform was extremely high, the steps built on one side of the platform were frighteningly steep.
Han Li circled around this stone platform a few times, but easily walked up.
