Chapter 9 - 9.Enter the Secret Land

In no time, Li Chuan arrived outside the entrance of the secret realm, only to see that a large number of cultivators had already gathered there, with the lowest cultivation being at the Dark Breath Realm, and the highest had already reached the Spirit Devouring Realm. The air was filled with tension, and everyone was staring intently at the entrance to the secret realm, as if a great battle was about to break out.

  Right at this moment, Li Chou's gaze suddenly fixed on a familiar figure - a person dressed in black robes, standing at the edge of the crowd with an unfathomable aura. The person's back was turned to Li Chou, but Li Chou recognized at a glance that this was the black-robed person who had saved him not long ago.

  "Huh? Isn't that the black-robed man who saved me?"Li Chou was shocked in his heart, not expecting to meet him here again.

  "Is he also here for the Secret Realm?"Li Chou frowned slightly, his heart filled with doubts. The Secret Realm was about to open, and everyone's attention was focused on that entrance, any rash action could cause chaos.

  Li Chou suppressed the doubts in his heart and decided to wait and see for the time being, observing the changes in the situation. He hid in a shadow, quietly watching the black-robed man's every move.

  Li Chou carefully poked around in the shadows and learned that this secret realm had special restrictions - only cultivators from the Dark Breath Realm to the Spirit Devouring Realm were able to enter. If their cultivation level was higher than the Spirit Devouring Realm, the secret realm would ostracize them, and might even cause the secret realm to destroy itself. As such, those mighty powerhouses among the Nine Forces of Eternal Night, although their hearts were moved, would not easily intervene to avoid bringing losses to themselves.

  "Looks like this is a good opportunity."Li Chou's heart was slightly relieved, but at the same time, he also realized that although those great powers wouldn't intervene, a cultivator of the Spirit Devouring realm was already an extremely powerful existence, and it would still be a tough fight for him.

  Only to see a few figures rapidly sweeping in from the sky, Li Chuan looked up, those people were clad in dark colored robes, they were the disciples of the Underworld Palace. The person in the lead had a deep aura and was clearly an elder of the Underworld Palace leading the group, his cultivation had at least reached the Nightmare Soul realm.

  At the same time, powerful cultivators arrived one after another from other directions, carrying their respective power insignia. From the costumes and aura, Li Chou recognized that they were cultivators from the Underworld Soul Sect, who were also one of the nine forces of the Eternal Night. All of these powerhouses had arrived, none of them had come for the chance in the secret realm.

  "Sure enough, all the forces of the Eastern Underworld Domain have come, and."Li Chou secretly pondered, his mood growing more and more tense. Faced with so many competitors, he had to be careful and seize every opportunity in order to survive this scramble.

  "Only to see several black-robed elders from the Underworld Palace quietly and silently walking towards the black-robed man's side, the corners of their pitch-black robes swaying slightly in the night wind, as if they had fused with the surrounding darkness. They appeared like ghostly shadows and stood still as the atmosphere instantly became grave."

  "What exactly is he? Why are the elders of the Underworld Palace so respectful to him? Could it be that he has an unknown deep connection with the Underworld Palace? A trace of uneasiness rose in Li Chou's heart as he secretly speculated, yet he was unable to see through the black-robed man's face hidden in the shadows."

  Seeing the young disciple who came side by side with the Elder of the Underworld Soul Sect, he smiled faintly and spoke, "Brother Underworld Flame, how have you been?"

  The black-robed man slowly turned around, his gaze as sharp as a cold star as he took off his black robe, revealing a handsome and icy face, as if it was a ray of cold wind in the cold winter. "Brother Silent Soul, long time no see."His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of faint detachment.

  Hades Flame had a slender figure with well-defined muscles, giving off an intense yet elegant feeling. His skin was slightly pale, as if he was one with the darkness, and his eyes were like deep black holes, transmitting a cold and sharp light, as if he was able to see into everything. His long hair was as thick and black as ink, draped over his shoulders and slightly fluttering with the wind, adding a sense of mystery. He wore a long black robe, which was embroidered with dark gold patterns, understated and luxurious, and with every movement he made, the robe swayed gently as if carrying a hint of shadow. The black robe was lined with a dark blue color, reflecting his temperament like the night sky. Underflame exuded a cold and majestic aura, as if the air became heavy around him. His demeanor often carried a faint detachment, giving people the impression that he was isolated from the world, as if he were a lonely goose high above.

  Silent Soul's heart shook, although they were old friends, the powerful aura emanating from Underworld Flame caused him to feel a hint of oppression. The reunion at this moment seemed to signal that some unknown changes were about to unfold.

  In a dark corner, Li Chuan quietly observed Underworld Flame and Silent Soul, his figure almost blending into the surrounding shadows. Despite being in the darkness, his gaze shone like a star, revealing a hint of stubbornness. He whispered softly to himself, "They're not bad looking, take a look... hmm...I'm not bad either!"

  The narcissistic words were loud and clear in the empty space, accompanied by his slight smile. His long hair was as deep as ink in the darkness, vaguely revealing the handsomeness of his face. His confident demeanor contrasted with the gloom around him, making it impossible to ignore.

  Despite being hidden in the darkness, Li Qi's heart was filled with confidence and humor. He enjoyed the moment, as if reminding himself that he could maintain his personality and grace even in this gloomy environment. His voice floated quietly over the murmurs around him, as if he was adding a touch of levity to this tense occasion.

  Although the surrounding cultivators could not see his figure, they felt that confidence and charisma from the depths of darkness, filling the entire scene with a mysterious and compelling atmosphere.

  Li Chou's figure was tall and slender, appearing agile and elegant. His skin was slightly white, as if he had lived in the shadows for a long time, and his eyes were as deep as the night sky, emitting a mysterious and melancholic aura. His face was angular, with a bit of firmness and loneliness between his eyebrows, giving off a feeling of being unapproachable. His long black hair was draped over his shoulders like a waterfall, fluttering gently with the wind, accentuating his slightly contemplative demeanor and making him appear even more spiritual.

  Li Chou wore a set of simple and sharp dark-colored robes, which were not overly decorated, appearing low-key and introverted, as if it complemented his personality. The edges of the clothes carried subtle silver lines that shimmered faintly in the light, adding a bit of mystery.

  Right at this moment, the secret realm opened with a loud bang, and the heavy curtain of light pressed the surrounding atmosphere into an increasingly tense state. The leading elder of the Underworld Palace shouted loudly, ''All disciples listen to the order! Line up and prepare to enter the secret realm! When we enter, we will listen to the arrangements of the Underworld Flame Saint Son!"

  "Yes!"The disciples of the Underworld Palace answered in unison, their voices were as loud as a tidal wave, instantly filling the air and bringing about a cohesive force.

  Underworld Flame turned around, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his tone firm, "Everyone remain vigilant, the situation within the secret territory is complicated, we must always be prepared to deal with any emergencies."

  With the elder's order, the disciples quickly formed a neat line and began to walk towards the secret territory in an orderly manner. Li Chou stood at the edge of the line, his heart secretly anticipating, filled with the desire to explore the unknown.

  The moment Li Chou stepped into the secret realm, an intense light instantly surrounded him, followed by a huge energy fluctuation that swept him up. Li Chou felt himself being pulled by an invisible force, his eyes went black, and in the next moment, he realized that he had been randomly transported to an unfamiliar place.

  When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a deep forest, surrounded by towering trees that seemed to be shrouding a thick layer of shadows. The faint sound of insects chirping came from his ears, as if reminding him that this place was full of mysteries and unknowns.

  "Where is this place?"Li Chuan muttered to himself, his heart filled with confusion and anticipation. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down, remembering the purpose of entering the secret realm: to find power and chance.

  Li Chou began to explore the forest, trying to sense the aura around him. He could feel that the aura here was much denser than the outside world, as if every leaf contained powerful energy. Feeling a vague excitement in his heart, he knew that this place might harbor the chance he had been longing for.

  In the process of going deeper into the forest, Li Chuan discovered a hidden lake, the surface of which was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding verdure. He walked to the edge of the lake, and through the water, he vaguely saw a faint light flickering under the water. With a st
