Bihan Secret Realm, Luo Yichen and Zhang Xuanbing.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly.

Zhang Xuanchen, dressed in a black outfit, concealed his aura and sped through the forest.

With his current cultivation level, the speed he achieves after using the Soaring Dragon Treading the Heavens Step far surpasses that of other cultivators at the same cultivation level.

Shuoxing nodded in approval as he watched Zhang Xuanchen's current speed.

"Xuan Chen, your speed at this moment is comparable to that of Half-step Nascent Soul Cultivator."

However, it's still a bit short of being a true Nascent Soul.

Once you reach the Nascent Soul, you can teleport short distances instantly, something that Golden Core and Half-step Nascent Soul Cultivator cannot do.

"Half-step Nascent Soul, that's already pretty good." Zhang Xuanchen was quite satisfied with his speed.

Once he breaks through to the Golden Core Peak, he will advance to the Lesser Completion Soaring Dragon Treading the Heavens Step.

Even if teleportation is not possible, the speed should at least reach the level of someone newly entering the Nascent Soul.

Having endured a year and a half of suffering, the improvement wasn't just in cultivation level.

It's comprehensive.

At this moment, the Soaring Dragon Treading the Heavens Step were only one step away from achieving minor success.

Judging from his improved comprehension, he should be able to break through in three months at most.

In addition, all the Law Technique they practiced had been upgraded to a higher level.

Even the Great Sword Momentum has now broken through to the Perfection Realm.

The next step will allow one to comprehend the Sword Intent.

His strength will undoubtedly increase again, and even Golden Core Peak cultivators will be no match for him.

When they were still five miles away from the Starry Holy Palace, Zhang Xuanchen reduced his speed.

Divine Sense projected outwards.

After sensing it for a moment, a hint of doubt flashed across his face.

Only a handful of people were hiding and lingering near the Starry Holy Palace.

There was also a strong smell of blood nearby.

Something must have happened.

Realizing this, Zhang Xuanchen felt a sense of unease.

Although Luo Lingshuang's strength was enough to crush all the Heavenly Talent.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

After changing their appearance behind a large tree, they sneaked into a cave abode.

Hidden here is a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator the Wu Sect.

Before the cultivator could react, Zhang Xuanchen had already placed the Meteor Heavy Sword beside his neck.

The sharp blade left a bloody gash on his neck.

"Don't move. Tell me everything that has happened since the Starry Holy Palace opened."

I can spare your life, otherwise...

The Meteor Heavy Sword pressed directly against the cultivator's right shoulder.

"Great hero, spare my life! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!" The Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator felt the chill on his neck and immediately gave in.

He quickly recounted everything that had happened over the past year and a half.

He even recounted how he had secretly watched two unknown cultivators having an intimate conversation in a cave.

He speaks with such passion and enthusiasm, he's definitely a talent for crosstalk.

Cultivating immortality, what a pity.

After understanding the whole story, Zhang Xuanchen sheathed the Meteor Heavy Sword.

He said coldly, "Don't turn around."

"Dare to turn around, and I'll kill you!"

"Rest assured, hero, you won't even turn around, let alone move."

"Hero?"

"Great hero? Have you left, great hero?" The cultivator's voice echoed repeatedly from inside the cave.

They wanted to confirm Zhang Xuanchen had left or not.

It called out more than ten times before slowly turning its head.

After realizing that he was completely safe.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then gave a wry smile.

"Holy shit."

He almost died and his cultivation was extinguished.

It was hidden so well, yet it was still found.

I'm outta here.

This place is not safe to stay for long.

Meanwhile, on a large tree.

Zhang Xuanchen sat quietly on a branch.

Having understood the cause and effect of the matter, he was finally able to put his mind at ease.

A smile spread across his face.

At this point, he was certain that the three people who had entered the three giant doors ahead of time were definitely Luo Lingshuang and her group.

Now, all you need to do is wait patiently.

He wanted to search the surrounding area for treasure, but he also wanted to be absolutely certain of success.

He needed to put the message into the Myriad Spirit Ring the moment Luo Lingshuang and the others sent it out.

Otherwise, once Wei Wushuang and Nangong Qing's inheritance ends and the news gets out, they will definitely become the target of public criticism.

Wait near the Holy Temple!

As for the rest of the people who were lying in ambush in the Holy Temple...

There's nothing to worry about. If they see something they shouldn't have, they'll only face death!

Two hundred thousand kilometers away from the Penglai Islands.

An unnamed island.

No, it should be called the Azure Cold Ice Island at this point.

Since the Secret Realm was revealed to the world a year ago, the entire nameless island has been covered by endless glaciers.

There is still clear water flowing beneath the glacier.

Hence the name Azure Cold Ice Island.

The Secret Realm that has manifested in the world is the Bihan Secret Realm.

This Secret Realm is not Inheritance Secret Realm, but an Innate Secret Realm that spontaneously formed from Upper Realm Ancient Battlefield.

When the Secret Realm appeared in the world, it attracted eleven Golden Core Faction.

Besides the Zhang Family, Ninglu Sect, and the other four forces that were the first to discover the Secret Realm, there were also Golden Core Faction such as Ice Cold Palace, Tianluo Temple, Wang Family, and Thousand Sword Sect.

Of course, there are also the Demon Race in the Purple Cloud Mountain Range and the Azure Nether Mountain Range.

Both mountain ranges represent individuals with the strength of Half-step Demon Sect Master.

Even with the aid of Law Artifact and high-level Spirit Talisman, the Human Race dares not underestimate them.

Ultimately, they had no choice but to compromise and explore the Secret Realm together.

After several days of exploration by various forces, more than ten people Demon Beast died.

They also figured out the conditions for entering the Secret Realm.

Like most Secret Realm, the Human Race is under one hundred years old.

The Demon Race is defined as those under three hundred years old.

There are no cultivation requirements.

This also led to an astonishing 50,000 cultivators and Demon Beast entering the Bihan Secret Realm.

Deep within the Bihan Secret Realm.

The summit of a towering snow-capped mountain.

Two figures dressed in blue brocade robes faced each other.

One of the young men, whose clothing was embroidered with the character "Luo," looked the icy-faced man in front of him up and down.

My heart trembled violently.

He spoke first:

"So you're Zhang Xuanbing, Zhang Xuanchen's brother?"

Zhang Xuanbing remained silent, only coldly staring at Luo Yichen before her.

A look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

As expected of the Luo Clan Young Master Spirit Transformation, he is not much older than him, yet he has already reached the Peak Golden Core Mid Stage.

They certainly have reason to be proud.

Seeing that Zhang Xuanbing remained silent, Luo Yichen was not angry.

Instead, his eyes revealed a look of appreciation.

Having spent so much time in the Penglai Islands, he naturally investigated a great deal about the Zhang Family.

I also know Zhang Xuanbing's personality.

He continued, "If I calculate the time, you're only thirty-five this year, right?"

He actually already possesses the cultivation level of the Early Golden Core stage.

Judging from your demonstrated talent, even if a Golden Core Faction were to nurture you with all its might, it would be impossible for you to break through to the Golden Core stage at this age.

Therefore, you have a single-element ice-type unique Spirit Root.

Is that correct?

Zhang Xuanbing remained expressionless, simply replying with a curt statement:

No comment!

All I know is that you want to humiliate my little brother!

"I won't allow it!"

"If you want to humiliate him, you'll have to kill me first!"

Before the words had even finished, Zhang Xuanbing drew his Ice Crystal longsword with a fierce motion!

Snow and ice were flying all around.

They kept gathering behind Zhang Xuanbing.

Before long, an Ice Flood Dragon tens of feet long appeared behind them.

Roar!

The Ice Flood Dragon roared, its Ice Crystal eyes fixed on Luo Yichen.
