A Mortal's Story of Cultivation into Immortality

"Your Excellency calls this the land of the underworld. Does this have anything to do with the rumored realm of the underworld? Where is this place? Our magic power is banned. Is there a way to restore it to the original state? The most important thing is, I don't want to stay here and want to go back outside. I want to ask the elders to point out a clear way out." Han Li frowned and then asked with a long breath.

"Go back? If it were really easy to go back, would we people still stay here and live this kind of precarious life every day? You know, most people here live in this land of darkness as soon as they are born. Only a very small number of people. Just like you and me, they were sucked in by the strange mist. Most outsiders were devoured by those evil beasts as soon as they entered this place. Only the lucky ones survived for various reasons and escaped to Our relatives and friends in the village are also outside." The old man shook his head and sighed.

After hearing these words, Han Li was speechless for a moment!

"As for what this place is, is it related to the realm of the underworld? Who knows? However, many seniors who came here before us have made speculations in this regard. One is similar to what fellow Taoist said, I think this should be a space crack where the Yin world and the human world meet. That’s why there is such a strong Yin energy here, but it cannot form too powerful a Yin beast.”

"The other kind of people think that there is no underworld in this world, it's just some monks spreading rumors. They think that this should be the belly of the legendary monster - Rahu. Only in the legend can it swallow the sun and the moon, and can This magical beast that can instantly travel through the air can explain that strange fog will appear in different sea areas, and this place will only be connected to the outside world every few years. You must know that the legendary Rahu monster also likes to hide in the depths of the sea. And I only ate once in a long time.”

"The Rahu monster? How is it possible! This monster is even more unreliable than the underworld. I don't think such a beast really exists in our generation." Upon hearing the old man's hypothesis, Han Li's expression changed drastically.

"Yes. When I first heard this statement, I was as shocked as my fellow Taoists. But I have to say that although this conjecture is very absurd, it is indeed somewhat possible. If it is true that space cracks are always open, it should be At a certain point in the outside world, it is a fixed opening. But in fact, every time the land of the underworld is connected to the outside world, the people sucked in are from several different sea areas. Between each other, these people I have never even heard of the names of other sea areas. For example, the following is from the small island of Nanzhou in the Great Jin Dynasty Bay. And other monks, some come from Wulong Sea, some from the coast of Tiansha Continent, and The others are from the Sea of ​​Chaotic Stars, and before everyone got to know each other, most of them didn’t know where the sea they were talking about was." The old man said leisurely.

"The Jin Dynasty! Are you a monk from the Jin Dynasty?" Han Li showed a hint of surprise. This was the name of the super empire that he had heard about when he was in Tiannan.

"Does Fellow Taoist also come from our Jin Dynasty?" The old man's eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's not true. But Han has heard someone talk about it. I know it is a huge country! I have always longed for it, but unfortunately I don't have the chance to go." Han Li shook his head and said.

"That's it! It's a pity. I really hope that I still have a chance to go back!" The old man showed a bit of disappointment.

"Hehe! Only if fellow Taoists go to our Dajin, will they know what the real world of cultivating immortals is. As far as I know, although there are many other areas where cultivators come and go in this world, none of them can compare with our Dajin. It can have such a scale and prosperity. It is not an exaggeration to say that our country of Jin is the holy land of monks in this world." When he talked about his hometown, the old man beamed with joy.

Han Li rubbed his nose. Although he had a wry smile on his face, he was moved by what the other party said.

"Haha, what I said is a bit off topic. Fellow Taoist asked here just now if there is a way to restore mana and magical powers. I can tell you clearly that as long as you stay in this dark place, don't imagine that your previous magical powers can come back. In addition to the Yin Ming Qi, there is also something we call the Absolute Spirit Qi. They are usually deep in the lungs of the earth. But they will erupt from the depths of the ground at regular intervals and fill the entire space. Within. As long as you are a monk who is within their scope of influence, you will lose all your magical power. This is inexplicable. You were sucked in this time, didn't you just happen to encounter the opening of the crack and the spiritual energy? Will they erupt at the same time?" the old man said with a slight smile.

Hearing the old man mention this, Han Li felt depressed for a while.

If he hadn't encountered such an unlucky thing, he wouldn't have been sucked into this place by a mere ghost mist. I don’t know where I went to have fun.

"After entering this place, is there really no hope of getting out? I still don't believe it!" Han Li was silent for a while and said unwillingly.

"You can't say that. The way to get out is to leave it there openly. But someone must be able to do it!" The old man twirled his beard and said calmly.

"What method?" Han Li was delighted and asked hurriedly.

Next to her, Mei Ning, who was looking red and white after hearing the old man's previous words, couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"This..." The old man did not reply immediately, but showed a trace of hesitation and thought.

"What, is there any inconvenience, fellow Taoist?" Han Li's expression changed and he showed a strange expression.

"Don't get me wrong, there is nothing to hide! Although I hope that there will be one or two more monks in the village, I will not make things difficult for you two. I am just afraid that the two Taoist friends will go out and be eager to do so. You risked your life in vain!" The old man saw the changes in the expressions on Han Li and Mei Ning's faces, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with profound meaning.

After hearing this, Han Li was startled for a moment, but then he chuckled.

"Don't worry. Although Han looks young, he is also a monk who has been practicing for many years. He will not act rashly. If it is really impossible to do, I will never die rashly. However, Han still wants to hear what fellow Taoist has to say first. The way to escape mentioned is to see where the difficulty lies." Han Li asked solemnly after his smile faded.

"Since fellow Taoists have said so, I won't hide it anymore." The fat old man thought for a while and agreed.

…

After a while, Han Li walked out of the hall expressionlessly, and stood at the door looking up into the distance, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Brother Han, what are we going to do? Do you really want to climb that Storm Mountain?" Mei Ning stood behind Han Li and asked with her red lips biting. At this time, her face was extremely pale.

She was completely desperate for the way to escape that the old man told her, thinking that it was impossible for Ken to meet this condition.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I have to try it anyway." Han Li looked at the sky and said calmly.

When Mei Ning heard this, her expression changed. Just when she was about to say something more, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching the two of them.

A dark-skinned boy, fifteen or sixteen years old, walked over curiously.

"You two are newcomers. I followed the elder's order to take you to your residence. Because you two are newcomers, food is free for the first three days. But you will have to go on a mission later. Otherwise, you will have to leave the village and make a living on your own." The young man stared at his dark eyes and said skillfully.

"Okay, you lead the way!" Han Li said noncommittally.

The young man nodded, stopped talking nonsense, and led the two of them directly to a corner of the village.

After a while, the young man brought the two of them to a fairly neat stone house.

When Mei Ning saw that there was only a stone bed in the house that could barely accommodate the two of them, her face suddenly turned red.

"Why is there only one bed here?" The woman asked hesitantly to the young man.

"When a man and a woman are together, don't they just sleep on the same bed?" The young man blinked, but felt strangely.

After hearing this, Mei Ning's face turned even redder. Although she wanted to explain something, she couldn't speak for the moment.

"We'll sleep separately. Just bring us a stone bed." Han Li looked around the outer room, then turned back to the boy and said calmly.

The young man pouted, although he was a little reluctant, he agreed and walked out.

"You should take a rest first. I'll go look around other parts of the village first!" Han Li said to the woman unwillingly as soon as the young man left.

There was a trace of confusion on Mei Ning's jade face, but then she nodded silently without saying anything.

Han Li walked out of the room without hesitation, looked around for a moment, and then strode towards the thin and high stone platform in the middle.

He was quite interested in the method of controlling the power of the underworld.

There were no people guarding the stone platform, so Han Li approached the stone platform easily.

Because the stone platform is extremely high, the steps built on one side of the stone platform are terrifyingly steep.

After Han Li circled the stone platform several times, he easily climbed up.
