Chapter 581: Longevity Continent, Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons

When Ye Lin struggled to open his eyes, what came into view was a low, oppressive ceiling.

He was lying on a filthy wooden bed, and apart from a tattered straw mat, there was nothing else.

"Where... is this?"

Ye Lin struggled to sit up.

"Team Leader! The person I brought back is awake!"

A very happy voice suddenly rang out beside him, and immediately after, Ye Lin saw a scruffy, filthy, yet muscular middle-aged man rush out.

A moment later, the middle-aged man brought back a youth dressed in bright, flashy clothes.

The youth glanced at Ye Lin with contempt; his lips were very thin, making him look like someone who was not easy to talk to.

The youth scanned him up and down, then nodded.

"Hmm, not bad, he is indeed healthy, and he isn't missing any arms or legs. Here are ten low-grade Immortal Source Stones, keep them safe."

The youth tossed a bulging bag to the middle-aged man, who was ecstatic and hurriedly caught it.

Ten low-grade Immortal Source Stones—this was already comparable to his monthly income!

The youth walked in front of Ye Lin, and under his gaze, Ye Lin felt as if even the capillaries in his body were being seen through.

"Your physical strength is quite good, you're good material for a miner. From today on, your serial number is 20251211855, and your work area is the northern vein of the eighty-first mining zone."

As the youth spoke, a label was stuck onto Ye Lin.

"Make me go mining?"

Ye Lin almost thought he had misheard. Although he did not know where he was, with his strength, he could actually be abducted to be a miner?

"Otherwise, what do you want to do? The latrine area is still missing a pipe-clearing specialist; if you don't like mining, I can arrange for you to go there instead." The youth frowned.

"Forbidden Spell? World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"

Ye Lin couldn't be bothered to waste more breath; he intended to take down the youth in front of him first, then interrogate him properly about where this place actually was.

The forbidden spell that had always been effective now had no reaction at all, and Ye Lin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Afterwards, he tried to use the power of his Chaos Divine Domain and his Undying Divine Domain, but the power of these two domains was imprisoned within his body and could not spread outward in the slightest.

It was as if the world within his body had an invisible shackle binding him.

Seeing this, the youth sneered.

"Another reckless ascender, still wanting to use your Divine Domain here? Do you know that the Longevity Continent is completely different from the small place you came from? It seems I still have to teach you a lesson before you'll be obedient."

As soon as he finished speaking, the youth condensed a beam of green light and blasted it straight at Ye Lin.

Ye Lin instinctively threw a punch, and with a bang, shattered the green light into a sky full of debris.

Ye Lin immediately realized that his physical strength had not been affected at all.

"You dare to resist?!"

Seeing this, a gloomy light flashed in the youth's eyes, and he wanted to continue attacking.

At this moment, the middle-aged man from before hurriedly ran out.

"Team Leader! Don't hit him, don't hit him! The newcomer doesn't know any better, he doesn't know anything. Let me explain the rules to him properly, don't get yourself worked up~"

The middle-aged man hunched his back, apologizing to the youth incessantly, the smile on his face extremely fawning.

"Hmph, for the sake of you, Old Kuai, having worked here for three hundred years, I will give you this face. Teach him the rules here properly; otherwise, don't blame me for not showing mercy next time!"

"If you aren't willing to do it, there are plenty of people who are!"

The youth snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves as he left.

"Many thanks to the Team Leader for your magnanimity, thank you Team Leader, thank you Team Leader!"

The middle-aged man was full of gratitude, almost kneeling down to kowtow to the other party.

Not until the youth had walked far away did the middle-aged man stand up and spit.

"Damn it! This dog thing! Oppressing us and still making us thank him!"

After cursing the youth a few times, the middle-aged man put on a bitter smile and said to Ye Lin.

"Brother, you better be careful. Don't go against the Team Leader again in the future, or your end will be miserable. My name is Kuai Yan, what should I call you?"

"My name is Ye Lin. Brother Kuai Yan, what exactly is this place? What is a Team Leader? And what is this mining the youth mentioned?" Ye Lin asked the questions in his heart; what he lacked most right now was information.

"That... I can tell you what you want to know, but there is a fee. One low-grade Immortal Source Stone, is that okay?" Kuai Yan said, rubbing his hands.

"What is an Immortal Source Stone? I don't have any," Ye Lin frowned and said.

"It's fine, you can owe it for now. Come, write an IOU, and you can pay me back when you get your wages next month." Kuai Yan quickly took out an IOU and held it in front of Ye Lin.

Ye Lin: "......"

This guy had been waiting for him here from the start.

Ye Lin signed the IOU without a word; having an IOU didn't mean he had to pay it back, he would just deal with it later.

Upon receiving the IOU, the smile on Kuai Yan's face became much richer.

"Alright, I'll explain the basic situation to you first. We are located in the eastern part of the Longevity Continent, within the Lingquan Mine of the Lingquan County of the Nuhai Dynasty, which is under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Cloud Sect."

Ye Lin listened, stunned.

"Longevity Continent?"

"That's right, aren't you an ascender too?"

Kuai Yan looked at Ye Lin with suspicion.

"The laws you cultivate are clearly incomplete. If you were born in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, it would be impossible to cultivate incomplete laws, so you must be like me, born in a small world with incomplete boundary rules."

"So, the Longevity Continent is a world that possesses complete boundary rules?" Ye Lin pressed.

"Exactly!" Kuai Yan nodded.

A thoughtful look appeared in Ye Lin's eyes; it seemed the Longevity Continent was likely the world where Fan Xiu resided.

"By the way, Brother Kuai Yan, since you are an ascender, why did you end up as a miner here?" Ye Lin looked at Kuai Yan with confusion.

"Don't mention it. Ascenders in the past were indeed awesome! But we didn't catch a good time!"

As soon as Kuai Yan heard this question, he gritted his teeth, his eyes turning red.

"In the past, whenever an ascender appeared, those with monstrous talent would be fought over by sects on the Longevity Continent, and those with lesser talent still had a chance to cultivate step by step and change their fate against the heavens!"

"But a thousand years ago, the Longevity Continent suddenly underwent a change!"

"The Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons appeared!"
