Chapter 4792: Reverse Suppression

Mo Lian threw some Meteor Dust, and Feng Chen grabbed the young man. The four quickly retreated a distance back the way they came, without looking back.

Seeing that they weren't being pursued, Mo Lian and Feng Chen stopped, turning to look at the panting young man.

This guy looked young, and his cultivation wasn't low, so why was he already out of breath after only a few steps?

The young man leaned against the wall, shaking his head at them. "I, I can't run anymore."

Yan Qi, who had been a little dragon wrapped around Mo Lian's wrist, suddenly transformed into human form. He bounced in front of the young man, scolding him with a cold face, "So young, and you're already breathing so heavily after just a few steps! You shouldn't focus too much on just improving your cultivation. While improving, your physical fitness must also keep up!"

The young man looked at Yan Qi speechlessly and gave a wry smile. "This place is under a reverse suppression of natural laws. The higher one's cultivation, the more severely they are suppressed."

He suddenly paused, his gaze turning to Mo Lian and Feng Chen in confusion.

He could feel that these two's cultivation was much higher than his, so why did they seem so agile, as if they hadn't been suppressed much?

"You weren't suppressed?"

"Yes!" Feng Chen wailed with a bitter face. "It's awful, everything hurts. My whole body aches, and also, just running a few steps, my body feels incredibly heavy, and I can't lift my legs."

Mo Lian gave him a speechless glance, then looked at the panting young man, asking, "You should be in the Xuanzun realm, right?"

Being able to reach the Xuanzun realm at such a young age indicated excellent talent.

This young man should also be quite renowned in the martial arts world.

Mo Lian tentatively asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Shen Wu. Thank you both for saving me just now."

"Shen Wu? Are you from the Shen Family Manor of Qichuan?"

"Precisely," Shen Wu's expression brightened slightly as he nodded. "I was on a solitary training journey. I encountered a large waterspout on the Forgetful River Sea and was swept into an undersea current."

"Then, it felt like I fell into a bottomless pit and ended up here."

Mo Lian and Feng Chen exchanged glances. "You don't know where this is?"

"I hope my benefactors can enlighten me."

"This is the Sacrificial Sea Abyss of Forgetful River," Mo Lian looked at him speechlessly.

This Shen Wu was truly unlucky. He just came out for training, but he ended up being swept all the way into the undersea abyss.

"Brother Shen, what were they doing, bowing so devoutly by that large sinkhole just now?"

Shen Wu's face only then turned slightly pale. "I only know that after they push living people down, there's an extremely powerful natural deprivation force inside that grinds the living people into dust and confiscates all items from their inner worlds."

No wonder that person earlier exclaimed in surprise about a "big bag of beans." It turns out these people push outside cultivators into the sinkhole, strip their inner worlds, and obtain others' food and tools.

"You mean, those unfortunate cultivators who fell into here from the Forgetful River Sea, the stronger their cultivation, the more severely they are suppressed and become extremely weak?"

"That's right," Shen Wu nodded, catching his breath. "They call this place the Nation of Sin. The aboriginals here have imprisoned all the extremely strong cultivators who came from outside and turned them into slaves."
