Guo Lin smiled indifferently and came to the old man's home with Ao Tian. The furnishings were simple, with only a few pieces of furniture and some daily necessities. There were bedding on the bed. Guo Lin and Ao Tian looked at each other and saw each other's surprise. The old man was still sleeping. What exactly was this? Everything was in harmony with the ghosts and demons.

The old man trembled and let the two sit down, revealing the few remaining teeth and smiled. Guo Lin almost fainted. The old man got up and wanted to pour water. Guo Lin hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't be polite, I'll tell me where I am here first."

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Sir, don't worry, this place is called Zhuanghuang Island, and it is under the command of Emperor Shun Reincarnation. This mountain is called Qiuyang Mountain. The village is full of residents here and has lived for tens of thousands of years."

Guo Lin exclaimed: "Is this the underworld?"

The old man nodded slowly, picked up the broken bowl on the table and drank some clean water, and poured two more bowls to Guo Lin and Ao Tian. Guo Lin smiled and said, "Thank you, my father-in-law, we have magic power, and we can quench our thirst without drinking water."

The old man was groping on the table and laughed and said, "I don't need it now, I will always need it."

Seeing that the old man was looking for things, Guo Lin knew whether he should help. Seeing that he was acting strangely, he remembered the scene of him burying a pot and making rice, and hurriedly asked, "Brother-in-law, since this place belongs to the underworld, why have you not practiced and still have to live this mortal life?"

The old man shook his head and smiled, "It seems that sir really doesn't know that there is no Nether Qi on the Wheel Island to practice, so there is no Nether Yuan in my meridians and dantian. I can only survive by eating some grass to plant my roots and stems."

"There is no Nether Qi? Isn't this the Underworld? Why is the Nether Qi so dry?" Guo Lin's face was full of strange looks. There was still such a strange place among the five realms, but he had never heard of it.

The old man laughed loudly, and the strange sound made Guo Lin feel angry. He was afraid that he would accidentally cut off his breath again. The old man nodded slightly and said, "I have been on the Wheel Island since I was a child. It's not that the dark energy is dry here, but that there is no dark energy at all. Only you outsiders find it strange. I am no longer surprised."

Ao Tian was also surprised and frowned and said, "Since there has been no nourishment of the underworld energy since ancient times, why are you still staying here? Why don't you go to other places?"

The old man shook his head slightly, as if he was very troubled, and seemed particularly old. He said for a long time: "It's not that I don't want to leave, but that I can't leave."

Guo Lin and Ao Tian looked at each other. When the old man saw their expressions, he smiled bitterly: "Have you ever seen a black ocean?"

Guo Lin and the others nodded repeatedly. The old man pressed his hands on the table, took advantage of the force to get up slowly, walked in the house several steps, looked out the window and said in a deep voice: "No wonder, you don't know the depth of the sea of ​​bitterness for the first time, and you don't know the latest chapter of the sea of ​​strange turtle fairy in the sea of ​​bitterness."

"The sea of ​​bitterness?" Guo Lin and Ao Tian said in unison: "Is that black* the sea of ​​bitterness?"

"Well!" the old man nodded gently and said, "That black ocean is the sea of ​​bitterness. The sea of ​​bitterness is vast and boundless, and it is endless. I don't know where it leads. No one in the Zhuanghun Island can cross the sea of ​​bitterness, so he cannot reach the other shore."

Guo Lin was frightened when he heard it. He fell in the mortal world and heard about the sea of ​​suffering. As the saying goes, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore. However, this is a Buddhist saying, meaning that people cannot walk too far in the abyss. If they are too attached, they will have no way to turn back. If they can wake up early, it will not be too late.

The legends of the mortal world are gradually becoming a reality. Although there is a gap between them and the legend, many people and things are appearing one by one. The Monkey King, Zhong Kui, and the Lord of Yan Luo, and the current sea of ​​suffering in the underworld, these people or things are impacting Guo Lin's sensory nerves, making him feel that fate is like an invisible line, leading him to wander in the three realms and move towards the established goals step by step.

Guo Lin sighed slightly and asked for a while: "Brother-in-law, there is no dark energy in the Zhuanhuang Island. How do you practice?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Zhuanghuang Island is in the middle of the sea of ​​suffering. Unless it is the seven emperors of the underworld, no one can reach the other side. However, the island can still practice. Although there is no dark energy in Zhuanghuang Island, it is rich in many minerals, including many dark stone ore veins, but it is just a little slow to practice."

Guo Lin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was a way to practice, if he could not practice here, he would undoubtedly be waiting to die here. Neither he nor Ao Tian had the ability to tear apart the space. I don’t know how long he would stay here. Fortunately, there were many immortal stones in Qiankun bag, otherwise I really didn’t know what to do.

Ao Tian also felt relieved and said with a smile: "My father-in-law is so scared that my brothers are not careful. It turns out that we can practice here. I wonder why my father-in-law seems to have no power at all. Has there been a problem with his cultivation?"

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head. Maybe this is the day when Guo Lin saw people shaking his head the most times in the past century. The old man said: "Although there are many mine veins in the dark stone, they are all occupied by powerful people on the island. People like me who have low cultivation and no power can do so where can they practice the dark stones? They can only suffer endless suffering."

Guo Lin took out some fairy stones from the Qiankun bag and handed them to the old man, and smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I still have some dark stones here, which can help you practice for a while. Now I give them to my father-in-law, don't refuse."

The old man took the fairy stone and shivered all over and said, "I am really lucky to meet two of you in my three lives. I have lived for thousands of years and have never seen the appearance of the Nether Stone. I have only suffered all the torture in this mountain. Today, I am grateful for the two of you who are righteous."

Ao Tian helped him sit down and laughed loudly: "Don't be discouraged, my father-in-law, the cultivation path is about opportunities. If you can't practice, it's because your time has not come. Maybe even if you accumulate thousands of years, it may burst out."

Guo Lin nodded and asked, "Did you know why the sea of ​​suffering cannot be overcome?"

The old man looked at the immortal stone in the Qiankun bag greedily, sucked a few times and said tremblingly: "The sea of ​​bitterness is very vast, and it is said to be hundreds of millions of miles in a radius. If a practitioner wants to fly, it will take a hundred years to do so. There are powerful beasts in the sea, with profound cultivation and boundless magic power. He swallows the essence and blood of the past practitioners. Those who fly across the sea of ​​bitterness are either sucked into the sea and frozen to death or are swallowed by ferocious beasts. The ancestors said that the sea of ​​bitterness was not like this before, but it has only become extremely cold since a million years ago, but for some reason."

Guo Lin felt surprised and continued to ask: "Do you know how many forces are there in this Zhuanghuang Island?"

The old man shook his head. Guo Lin thought that this was the case. How could he, a man without cultivation, dare to go out and walk around? It was no different from dying. He bowed to the old man now. Although the old man didn't want them to leave, he did not force himself to stay. He just warned the two of them to be careful of bandits in the mountains. There were often horse thieves in the plains and deserts, and specifically robbed past practitioners.
