Li Chuan carefully walked into the palace, thinking in his heart, "Surprisingly, there are still so many people surviving."He quickly utilized the Shadow Escape Step to conceal his figure and carefully observed the situation around him.
Inside the palace, almost all of the power cultivators were gathered here, looking grave, each meditating and adjusting their state. Obviously, they were all waiting for something, and the atmosphere was unusually tense. Li Chou noticed that some of the cultivators were in a trance, seemingly pondering how to break through the current predicament;while others were talking in low voices, exchanging their respective news and countermeasures.
"It seems that the surviving cultivators are all people with extraordinary strength."Li Chou pondered in his heart, "Their gathering must be related to the changes in the secret realm. Perhaps some useful information can be learned from them."
He decided not to make contact with them for the time being, and instead continued to observe to see if he could find a breakthrough or utilize this opportunity to obtain more resources and information. Li Chuan slowly approached a relatively remote corner, gazing and listening to the conversations of the cultivators, hoping to gain insight into more secrets.
"Isn't that the Underworld Flame?"Li Chou secretly thought, only to see Underworld Flame leading the disciples of the Underworld Palace standing firmly in the center, the atmosphere tense and heavy. On the other side was Silent Soul, the Saint Son of the Underworld Soul Sect, who led the Underworld Soul Sect, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
Silent Soul slowly walked towards Underworld Flame, his voice calm but majestic, "Brother Underworld Flame, I think your Underworld Palace must have gotten some news as well to show up in this secret realm."
Underworld Flame nodded and returned, "Yes, we have also received some tip-offs."
Silent Soul showed a look of gravity as he continued, "Not bad, the higher echelons of our sect speculate that the owner of this secret realm is still alive and is secretly observing."
Underworld Flame frowned, pondering for a moment before saying, "The higher echelons of my palace also believe that he is still alive, this cannot be underestimated."
"In that case, perhaps we can join forces for the time being."Silent Soul's gaze swept over the surrounding cultivators, his voice low but firm, "This person must be afraid of the clan's experts, we must act quickly."
"Good, this is exactly the original purpose of our two clans coming to this secret realm together."Hei Yan similarly sensed the urgency of the situation and quickly responded.
The two Sacred Sons nodded their heads in mutual tacit understanding and then began to gather their respective disciples to discuss the next plan of action. Li Chou silently observed from the side, thinking in his heart: the two great sects joining forces would definitely cause even greater waves in this secret realm.
"If I can take the opportunity to obtain some information from them, I might be able to better understand the secrets of this secret realm."Li Chuan calculated his plan in his mind and decided to remain hidden and continue to observe their moves.
Holding his breath, he utilized the Shadow Escape Step and concealed himself in the shadows, ready to find a suitable moment to get closer to the conversation between the two Saint Sons and obtain more information.
Li Chuan quietly lurked in the shadows, his heart filled with nervousness and anticipation. He carefully observed every movement of Underworld Flame and Silent Soul, trying to capture their conversations.
"We must split up and explore the different areas of the secret realm."Underflame suggested, his gaze looking around as if searching for a potential enemy. "Once we find a clue to that presence, make sure to convey it quickly."
Silent Soul nodded in agreement, "There are some potential targets on my side as well, but we must proceed with caution. We are not the only ones in the secret realm, there may be other unknown strong enemies."
"Right."Underworld Flame responded, "We need to stay vigilant, especially those foreign beasts with mysterious powers whose abilities we cannot predict."
Between the two of them talking, Li Chuan's mind was filled with thoughts. He was clear that he had to make a choice, whether to remain hidden and observe, or to take advantage of the opportunity to approach and even try to obtain some useful information.
Just then, Li Chou noticed a strange fluctuation coming from the depths of the palace, as if a powerful force was surging. He knew that it could be related to the existence of the Lord of the Secret Realm, or it could be cultivators from other sects exploring.
"I need to get closer to the source of that fluctuation."Li Chou secretly decided to activate the Shadow Escape Step and gently moved in the direction of the fluctuation. Every step was taken to avoid making noise as much as possible, maintaining absolute stealth.
Li Chou gradually approached the source through the shadows, and could faintly hear low incantations and some unknown sounds. He held his breath and perked up his ears, trying to catch more information.
"We are ready to begin at any time."A raspy voice came from what seemed to be some monk directing the others.
"We must be careful, once we attract attention, the consequences will be unimaginable."Another cultivator replied, his tone dripping with nervousness.
Li Chou's heart fluttered, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated. He took a deep breath in the shadows and decided to continue to approach, trying to figure out their intentions. He knew that only by understanding their plans could he survive in this secret realm.
"I hope I can find more useful information."Li Chuan murmured in his heart as he continued to step forward.
Li Chuan continued to sneak, and as he got closer, the low incantation became clearer and clearer. He moved carefully, trying not to make any noise. Eventually, he found a hidden corner and hid in a shadow, able to clearly see the cultivators.
He saw a group of cultivators dressed in different sects' costumes gathering in front of a strange stone monument. The stone monument was emitting a faint glow, and surrounded by several blurred shadows that seemed to be responding to those incantations.
"This is the legendary Spirit Source Monument!"A cultivator exclaimed in a low voice, excitement flashing in his eyes. "As long as we obtain its inheritance, we'll be able to gain immense power!"
"Quick, start the ceremony!"Underworld Flame's voice came from the back, and Li Chou's heart shook, knowing that this could be a crucial moment to change the situation.
Li Chou quietly adjusted his breathing, trying to keep himself calm. He clearly realized that if these cultivators succeeded, their power would increase greatly, and his situation in the secret realm would become even more dangerous.
As the ceremony began, the light around the stone monument became brighter and brighter, and those cultivators gradually entered a certain state, as if they were receiving the power of the stone monument. Li Chou's heart tightened, knowing that he had to make a decision.
"Should I interrupt them?"Li Chou secretly pondered, but he was also clear that if he rashly made a move, it might cause even more chaos, or even lead to himself being besieged.
Just then, the light of the stone monument suddenly flickered, and an ancient figure appeared in the light. The figure appeared as if it had stepped out of the light, carrying a mysterious and powerful aura that pushed right into the crowd. Li Chou's heartbeat accelerated, and he knew that this was the aura of the Lord of the Mysterious Realm.
"You shouldn't disturb me!"The figure's low and majestic voice echoed throughout the palace, causing the hearts of the cultivators to shake.
"We're just searching for the inheritance, please grant us power!"Underworld Flame shouted loudly, trying to fight for a chance.
"Power is not something that can be obtained at random, it can only be obtained after passing a test."The figure of the Lord of the Secret Realm responded, his tone was ruthless and majestic.
Li Chou clenched his fists, understanding in his heart that this was definitely an opportunity that could not be missed. If he could take the opportunity to come into contact with the power of the Lord of the Secret Realm at this moment, he might be able to help himself grow faster.
"I must find a way to get close to him."Li Chuan mumbled in his heart and decided to utilize the ability of Shadow Escape Steps to find a more favorable position and wait for the time to move.
He utilized his Shadow Escape Steps and approached in the direction of the figure, trying to hide his aura as much as possible in order to find a suitable opportunity. At this moment, the fate of the secret realm and his own future seemed to be intertwined at this moment. Li Chou utilized the Shadow Escape Step to silently approach the mysterious figure, his heart both nervous and excited. He knew that if he could gain the recognition of the Lord of the Mysterious Realm, he might be able to obtain great power and inheritance.
The moment he approached the figure, the light suddenly flickered, the space around him seemed to be distorted by some kind of power, and Li Chou instantly felt a huge pressure coming over him, causing him to be almost breathless. The figure's gaze swept over the surrounding cultivators at that moment, Li Chou's heart tightened as a strong sense of crisis caused him to stop in his tracks.
"You all, if you want to gain power, you need to undergo a test."The voice of the Lord of the Secret Realm was like thunder, shaking the hearts of every cultivator present. Li Chuan's breath was also cut off by this sound, and h
