Lin Yu nodded upon hearing this and said, "Why not go out for a stroll?"

The black-clad figure remained silent for a moment, then turned its gaze to Hao Yueshen beside Lin Yu: "It seems you, fellow Daoist, wish to obtain something for this young lady!"

"However, with her current cultivation level, it would be far too dangerous for her to enter."

"It's alright. If it's dangerous, we can just not let her in, right?" Lin Yu replied matter-of-factly.

The figure in black. "..."

Why is it that Lin Yu can always use such simple words to leave him speechless?

"What you say is true, fellow Daoist. With your strength, I cannot see through you. You must possess some special supernatural power. If you don't mind, I would like to accompany you and take a look," the black-clad figure continued.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Yu didn't seem to care at all, simply replying nonchalantly, "Fine, come along if you want. This Palace Master won't stop you."

As the two talked as if no one else was around, the Three Lives Stone, which had been dormant for many years, was enveloped by a light and slowly shrank.

Then, the Three Lives Stone transformed into a bronze token, and judging from its appearance, it was almost identical to the token that Baili Luoxing had obtained that day.

"Buzz..."

All the cultivators in the Underworld naturally saw the changes at the Three Lives Stone, and upon seeing this, some wanted to gather around.

"Cough cough." The black figure coughed, and after a moment, the several auras that had been unable to be suppressed all retreated, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled slightly and looked at the black-clad figure, praising, "It seems you still have quite a bit of influence in the Underworld! Not bad, not bad!"

"It's just that you fellow Daoists are willing to give me face. You flatter me!" the black-clad figure said modestly.

Lin Yu smiled upon hearing this, said nothing more, and had Hao Yueshen put away the bronze token before swaggering away from Ghost Capital City.

The black figure followed closely behind, and with each step, the world seemed to freeze for a moment, as if everything in the world was making way for them.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived before the enormous black vortex.

Only upon closer inspection can one discover that the black vortex is a bottomless pit; a single glance is enough to instill boundless fear.

The scene before her seemed to evoke some unpleasant memories for Hao Yueshen, and she tightened her grip on Lin Yu's hand slightly.

Sensing Hao Yueshen's nervousness, Lin Yu returned the handshake and smiled slightly at Hao Yueshen.

The Hao Yueshen's body suddenly relaxed, a glint of trust flashing in her eyes, though her gaze toward the black vortex still held a hint of fear.

However, she trusted Lin Yu; no matter how terrifying the thing in front of her was, Lin Yu would definitely be able to help her turn the danger into safety.

"So you really led me here?" As Lin Yu led Hao Yueshen into the vortex, the black figure slowly followed.

" The Primordial Hall truly possesses the power to predict the future of the world..."

The murmur disappeared into the vortex.

When the light returned to the three of them, they were faced with an endless ocean.

This is an ocean made of souls, with mysterious laws enveloping the entire region.

The sky was neatly divided by ten enormous black vortexes, with waterfalls of the dead cascading down from their centers.

The Sea of Reincarnation is the most mysterious of the ten major seas.

All living beings know of the existence of the Sea of Reincarnation, but no one can pinpoint its exact location.

Generally speaking, a cultivator will only see the Sea of Reincarnation under one circumstances, which is when they enter the cycle of reincarnation.

However, no one could have imagined that the entrance to the Sea of Reincarnation was actually located within this Underworld Immortal World, and was even placed openly beneath the Ghost Capital City.

Lin Yu and Hao Yueshen appeared extremely relaxed upon entering, but this was entirely due to Lin Yu's superior skills.

The light is at the very front of the black vortex, which even powerful beings below the Eternal Realm cannot enter. Even if they try to enter by brute force, they will only be torn apart by the vortex.

This is why, over tens of thousands of years, no news of the Sea of Reincarnation has been reported.

As if sensing the presence of three uninvited guests, a ripple slowly rose above the calm Sea of Reincarnation.

The waves grew larger and larger, eventually transforming from small ripples into towering, raging torrents.

A fierce wind howled, a mountain rain was imminent, and a "whooshing" sound came from the black vortex. Every time a gust of wind swirled out of it, one could feel a strong sense of reincarnation.

In the blink of an eye, the once peaceful Sea of Reincarnation had transformed into an apocalyptic scene.

However, no matter how the desolate, demonic wind blew, it could never penetrate within a hundred feet of Lin Yu.

A faint light surrounded Lin Yu, completely isolating him from all the strange phenomena.

Within the body of the Hao Yueshen, the bronze token slowly emerged and soared into the sky.

"Buzz..."

The cyan token seemed to have its own consciousness, automatically floating to the very center of the ocean. In an instant, both the wind and the rain stopped.

Everything returned to calm.

"Squeak..."

A sickeningly loud sound echoed through the silent space, and a bronze gate slowly emerged from within the Sea of Reincarnation.

As soon as the gate appeared, all the seawater rushed towards it, as if it contained an endless attraction.

"Ah!" Hao Yueshen cried out and suddenly grabbed Lin Yu's arm.

That attraction seemed to work on the Hao Yueshen as well!

However, Lin Yu and the figure in black did not react at all; neither of them sensed anything unusual.

Just as Hao Yueshen's body was about to be carried away by the attraction, Lin Yu took a step forward, raised his hand and waved it, and a terrifying power spread throughout the entire sea area.

The surging seawater suddenly stopped, and the bronze door appeared as if it had been struck by a heavy blow, with cracks appearing out of thin air.

One, two, three...

With a series of cracking sounds, the bronze gate finally gave way and burst open, shattering into countless fragments that scattered throughout the Sea of Reincarnation.

"Buzz..."

Although Lin Yu forcibly destroyed the gate, endless cyan light burst forth from it. Lin Yu and the other two felt a bright light before their eyes, and then they were forcibly pulled into a space by a force.

It was an extremely mysterious space, with twelve statues surrounding it from all directions. Each statue had a different expression. Before the three of them could react, an extremely cold and sinister voice rang in their ears.
