Although the name of the Deep Demon Sea is the sea, it is not an ocean at all.
It is located in the Haoyue Domain in the northeast of the Immortal Spirit Continent, and it is an incomparably wide low-lying area.
It is said that many years ago, the Deep Demon Sea used to be the largest inland lake in the Fairy Spirit Continent, but then there was a catastrophe.
In the aftermath of that catastrophe, the infamous Sinkhole Eye was born, and all the water in the Deep Demon Sea was lost, leaving only the shattered surface.
This legend is generally accepted by the monks of the Deep Demon Sea, because as soon as you step into this area, you can vaguely see its former appearance from the strange landscape.
There are many strange sea erosion stones in the Deep Demon Sea, and although they are now turned into stone peaks, they look like reefs at the bottom of the sea.
Today, at the edge of the Deep Demon Sea, a black-robed young man with an unsightly appearance stepped into this place of exile.
The young man looks ordinary, he belongs to the type that no one will take a second look at when thrown into the crowd, and the aura on his body is also so restrained that there is no trace left, just like a mortal.
The young man was Gu Chen, who had changed his appearance a little, and after many days of traveling, he had just arrived at his destination.
Along the way, he passed through the spheres of influence of the major immortal sects, and he saw his wanted warrants many times, so in order to avoid trouble, he simply changed his appearance.
In order to ensure that he was not recognized, he even used a blindfold to turn his white hair black, which looked very different from the original.
After the disguise, there was a lot less trouble, and he came all the way to the edge of the Deep Demon Sea.
It's so easy to tell if you've come here, it's much more low-lying than the rest of the place, like a huge basin.
At a glance, the Deep Demon Sea is even more strange rocks, sparse vegetation, and a desolate atmosphere.
Gu Chen flew through the air, and looking down from above, the surface of the Deep Demon Sea was full of devastation and ravines.
Taking a deep breath, he found that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here was extremely thin, and it was even inferior to the Kunlun Continent.
You must know that after coming to the Immortal Spirit Continent, he has seen too many caves and blessed lands, and it is really the first time he has seen such a shabby place.
It's no wonder that the Thirteen Immortal Sects are not interested in this place, I'm afraid that this place is no different from a garbage dump for them.
Gu Chen recalled the content of Gu Lianyue's letter in his mind, according to what she said, the place where his father fought with others more than two years ago and finally died in the fire was called Lukang Ancient City.
Therefore, he first had to go to the ancient city of Lukang to understand the ins and outs of the original incident and see if he could find any clues.
The terrain of this Deep Demon Sea was almost the same, full of stone pinnacles and strange rocks, and Gu Chen found it difficult to identify the direction.
He thought about it, his divine consciousness spread overwhelmingly, and the figure of the person was also unconcealed in the air, trying to lure a few people out.
It would be best if a monk from the Deep Demon Sea came to block the road and rob him, and he happened to kill one of them and search the soul to understand the environment here.
He spun slowly in the air, hoping to meet the bad guys, but unfortunately his luck was too bad today, and there were few people within a radius of a hundred miles.
Occasionally, one or two passers-by just looked at him like an idiot, and then walked away, seemingly uninterested in making a move on him.
This made Gu Chen feel a little headache, and he thought about whether to take it upon himself to catch a monk for interrogation.
"Where did you come from, you are so conspicuous in the air, and you are not afraid of attracting the rogues of the Deep Demon Sea to ransack, there is no day of peace here. β
"It's so leisurely to be alone, I don't know if it's because of your guts or your ignorance. β
Several chattering voices sounded, and Gu Chen found that a spaceship was coming from behind, and it was some young men and women on it who were discussing.
Gu Chen's eyes lit up, there were a lot of people on this ship, and they were all dressed quite well, so many people came here, they must have known the way.
He flew straight towards the ship.
"Hey, that stunned guy is here. β
"It can't be that you heard Mengjia say bad things about him and want to come over to find fault, right?"
While several young men and women were laughing, Gu Chen was already close to the bow of the boat.
"Is there anything wrong with this little friend?"
The young man was careless, but an old man sitting in the bow of the boat asked with a cautious face.
"I accidentally got lost in the next place, and I want to ask the old man for the way. Gu Chen expressed his intention and was very polite.
"Lost?" The old man suddenly smiled, this place has just entered the border of the Deep Demon Sea, how can he get lost, I am afraid that this person will come to the Deep Demon Sea without any preparation, so there is nothing to be done at the moment.
This is really a stunned young man, and he has no experience when he goes out.
"I wonder where Xiaoyou wants to go?" asked the old man kindly, although this person seemed to have no cultivation at all, he knew that it was impossible.
He is a master of the Dharma Body Realm, and he can see that Gu Chen's cultivation should have reached the Dharma Realm, which is much more powerful than the little dolls in the Heavenly and Human Realm behind.
If he is really as young as he seems, then he is a junior with good potential, and it is worth getting to know him.
"I want to go to the ancient city of Lukang. Gu Chen replied truthfully.
The old man was surprised when he heard this, and the young people behind him were all surprised.
"You didn't know that we were going to Lukang Ancient City, so you said that on purpose, right?" said a cute girl named Mu Mengjia.
"So coincidentally, you are also going to Lukang Ancient City?" Gu Chen was surprised, this deep demon sea was so big, he was able to find a spaceship to go to Lukang Ancient City, I have to say that it was really fate.
Seeing Gu Chen's demeanor, the old man knew that it was just a coincidence, and couldn't help but smile. "This is nothing unusual, the bustling ancient cities in the Deep Demon Sea are already rare, not to mention that many people have been going to the Lukang Ancient City recently. Could it be that this little friend is also going to the auction?"
"Auction?" Gu Chen shook his head and said softly. "I'm just looking for someone. β
A boatload of people listened strangely, and it was too bold to go to a place like the Deep Demon Sea alone to find someone?
I'm afraid that if I don't find anyone, I will be killed by the vicious demon cultivators along the way.
"Since Xiaoyou is also going to Lukang Ancient City, it is better to go all the way with us. β
The old man spoke, and then immediately added. "But you have to pay for the journey. β
"I don't know how much the fare is?"
Gu Chen's heart was moved, even if the old man told him the direction, considering that the terrain here was the same, he still had the possibility of getting lost, and someone would lead the way, which would save a lot of trouble.
The old man then set a very high price, as if he was slaughtering people.
"Why is the price so high?" asked Gu Chen.
"The old man has been going back and forth to the Deep Demon Sea for many years, and he is a well-known ferryman here, with rich experience, who can take you to your destination safely with as little risk as possible, saving you a lot of trouble. β
In other words, you are not only paying for the journey, but also a guarantee, and they are paying no less than you. β
The old man explained with a smile.
