Having decided to fully search for the Imperishable Body, Chen Xun's movements had been centered around the core area of the Yuan Kong Realm. He had searched this direction thoroughly and obtained some spiritual herbs and fruits, but there was still no sign of his true objective. During this time, Chen Xun encountered the white-haired Taoist again. The two exchanged glances from afar and then retreated, showing no intention of greeting each other. They were not on the same path, and it was impossible for them to travel together.

A quarter of the Yuan Kong Realm had been searched, and he had carefully examined some of the skeletons on the ground, but without exception, they had all turned into bones. At this point, Chen Xun began to ponder where the two powerful cultivators who had repaired the secret realm had ultimately passed away. They couldn't have just chosen a random place to die; they must have hidden their Imperishable Bodies in a secluded location.

After much deliberation, he felt that the palace in the center of the Yuan Kong Realm was a possibility. It was said that it had been searched before, and no treasures were found. Perhaps there were treasures before, but they must have been taken away by the earlier groups of experts who entered the Yuan Kong Realm. If the Imperishable Bodies were in plain sight, they would inevitably be discovered. Therefore, he determined that if the bodies of the two cultivators were indeed in that palace, they would be hidden very deeply. But no matter how deep, as long as they were within a certain range, Chen Xun could find them! These deductions were based on what he had thought before: this must be a crucial point!

With this in mind, Chen Xun's speed towards the center increased. He consciously gave up some unowned spiritual herbs. These things had some value, but not much to him. After another hour or so, Chen Xun finally saw the distant palace. At this moment, if they were outside, it would already be pitch black, but here, there was no movement of the sun and moon, and it was still as bright as day. After casually scanning the area, Chen Xun flew towards the palace.

The palace was about a hundred meters above the ground, which wasn't very high, and was about the same height as Chen Xun's current position. The entire palace was black, made of extraordinary materials. Perhaps because it had not been cleaned for many years, there was a lot of dust on it. There were two huge pillars at the entrance of the main hall, both made of wood. Chen Xun landed on the ground and was about to step into the hall to investigate, but his footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyelids twitched, as if he had sensed something, and he said faintly, "Since you arrived a step ahead, why hide your figure? Why not show yourself?"

After he spoke, there was no response. It seemed that Chen Xun was just talking to himself, but he was extremely certain. He snorted coldly and slowly placed his hand on the Yan Blade at his waist. Suddenly, a black-clad figure flashed like a phantom, walked out of the palace, stood on the steps, and looked down at Chen Xun, saying, "Why has Envoy Chen arrived so early? The secret realm doesn't start until tomorrow."

"That's none of your business. If you really want to ask, you might as well explain why you arrived so early."

Chen Xun looked calmly at the black-robed woman in front of him. Her voice was cold. Even though she was wrapped in a black robe, one could still make out some feminine features after careful observation. Whether it was confidence or the effect of her cultivation technique, there was no sign of any weapons in her hands. Beneath the black robe, a face that was beautiful enough to amaze anyone frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with Chen Xun's attitude. She immediately said in a cold tone, "The government is being too nosy."

"Aren't you being nosy?"

Chen Xun replied directly. He really didn't have any pity for women. In his eyes, men and women were equal. "Retreat now, and I won't attack."

The black-robed woman threatened. "Then attack," Chen Xun said with a smirk. He had just broken through and was full of vitality and energy. He really wanted to fight this woman, an unusual fight!

"The Demon Blade is indeed arrogant, but you've picked the wrong person!" The black-robed woman's eyes narrowed, a cold light flashed, and her aura instantly soared, Late Stage of Spirit Connection Realm!

Another expert in the Late Stage of Spirit Connection Realm!

Chen Xun clicked his tongue inwardly, feeling somewhat amazed. He felt that his previous guess was very correct. This guy wrapped in a black robe was indeed extraordinary. The only thing that made him feel a little strange was that this person didn't have...

The black-robed woman stretched out a hand, wearing a pair of transparent black gloves, seemingly made of extraordinary material, without any obstruction, and looked smooth. A wisp of black flame instantly emerged from her palm. The scorching temperature was very high. Even Chen Xun, who was more than ten meters away, could feel it. The void around the woman was even distorted.

"What kind of technique is this?" Chen Xun's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty. It was the first time he had seen such a technique, being able to conjure a strange black flame from his hand. Weren't Spirit Connection Realm cultivators supposed to cultivate Qi?

The black-clad woman didn't want to waste too much time. She glanced at him coldly, and the black flame in her hand instantly flew out, turning into a fire snake in the void and rushing towards Chen Xun. In a flash of lightning, Chen Xun prepared himself at the same moment. His arm shook, and the Qi and blood from his Heavenly Origin surged, his right arm swelled, and his veins bulged. Then, he punched out, and the black fist force wrapped in Yin Qi collided with the black fire snake, emitting a huge roar. The weak aftershocks caused the two to retreat subconsciously. The nearby black palace even shook violently, and dust flew everywhere.

With one strike, the two were evenly matched. Although it was just a test, both sides' strength was almost clear. The black-robed woman's eyes towards Chen Xun were serious for the first time. She originally didn't pay attention to the other party's Middle Stage Spirit Connection Realm cultivation. She had killed several such cultivators long ago. It was just that the other party's talent and status made her pay some attention, but only a little. A Hawk Hound at the level of a Patrol Envoy was not worth her attention. But the faint physical Qi and blood power that the other party had just displayed made her change her mind. She hadn't seen anyone who could explode with such power with just the power of the physical body, but most of those people were Core Realm Grandmasters, and there were only a few in the Spirit Connection Realm. Now, she had to add Chen Xun!

Middle Stage Spirit Connection Realm cultivation, one strike was no weaker than her own, which was really extraordinary. Although she had only used 50% of her strength just now, Chen Xun obviously hadn't used his full strength either. Chen Xun's expression was very calm. It was very possible for the other party's Spirit Connection Realm cultivation to explode with such strength, but the black flame made him somewhat afraid. When the two attacks shattered just now, he clearly saw that the black flame lasted longer. If it landed on his body, he was afraid that he would really turn into bones. It was especially troublesome.

"Demon Blade, indeed extraordinary," the black-robed woman said. Chen Xun replied, "You are also very extraordinary."

"Leave. There are no treasures in this palace. You've heard that too. Even if there were treasures, they would have been taken away long ago. I'm here just to observe whether there is any inevitable connection between the secret realm and this palace," the black-robed woman said coldly.

"What if I don't leave?" Chen Xun raised his eyebrows. He was never one to be threatened. "If you don't leave, you and I will only fight and kill each other, and you are definitely not my opponent. Even if you don't suspect it, this won't change. Seeing that your aura is still somewhat unstable, you must have just broken through to the Spirit Connection Realm, right? It's best to take this opportunity to stabilize your cultivation. As far as I know, your opponents should still be Gu Hao, the Flying Rain Sword, and Jingxin Monk from the Dark Temple. The two of them have already joined forces. If the commotion between you and me is too great, they may be attracted. When the three of us deal with you alone, even if you have great abilities, you won't be able to escape," the black-robed woman said in a very calm tone, as if she was describing a small matter that had nothing to do with her.

After thinking about it in his mind, Chen Xun also knew that what this woman said was right. He felt a lot of pressure just facing her alone. If Gu Hao and Jingxin attacked, it would be a problem to leave. But he had to search the palace first. If there was no Imperishable Body, he would leave. If there was, he would not retreat even if he had to fight. "May I ask for your name?"

Although it was a question, he felt a little strange in his heart. Whether it was the old man or the woman in front of him, others recognized him, but he didn't know them, losing some initiative. "It's best for Envoy Chen not to know this, otherwise I really have to take action."

"I see. May I ask which force you are from in the Demonic Path?" As soon as she said this, Chen Xun knew almost everything. He didn't want to reveal his name and was wrapped in a black robe. He was 90% a member of the Demonic Path. "Envoy Chen can guess slowly on the way back later. It's better to leave as soon as possible." The black-robed woman remained unmoved. After a moment of silence, Chen Xun raised his head and stared at her, saying, "I can leave, but I have to walk around this palace."

"Why?" the black-robed woman asked in confusion. "This is a secret. It's better for you not to ask. If you don't allow it, then I can only fight to the death. But what you said before, that I am definitely not your opponent, don't make a conclusion so early. You should know one sentence, anything is possible!"

He looked at the other party with a smile. Black-robed woman: "Must you see it?" "Must see it!" Chen Xun replied without hesitation. "Then you can walk around, but I have to follow you." The black-robed woman thought for a moment, knowing that since a person like Chen Xun had said this, she would definitely have to fight if she didn't allow it. She wasn't afraid of a fight, but her matter hadn't been completed yet. If too many people were alarmed, it was likely that all her efforts would be in vain. This was also the reason why she had to make Chen Xun leave. "If you want to follow, then follow." Chen Xun nodded, then vigilantly walked past her and entered the palace.

It was very empty inside. The main hall alone was enough to be hundreds of meters in size. There were some withered bones left on the ground, and sword marks and knife marks were left on the surrounding walls. The black-robed woman was more than ten meters away from Chen Xun, always watching his movements vigilantly. It was a pity that she was always in the back and couldn't see the green light flashing in Chen Xun's eyes.

The entire main hall was searched, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, Chen Xun stepped directly into the passage on the left. There were many rooms inside, but most of them were empty. There were fragments of broken bottles, torn paper, and jade slips on the ground. Presumably, there were many good things here during the previous times, but the struggles had completely disrupted the place. As more and more people entered the secret realm, they completely ransacked the place.

Chen Xun searched each room casually. He glanced around and immediately went to the next place when he found nothing unusual. It took him a quarter of an hour to search the area on the left. It had to be said that this place was indeed very large, at least a thousand meters long. It might have been a sect force before, and this was where the main hall was located.

After searching the left side, it was the right side. When he went in, the black-robed woman's eyes obviously relaxed a little and followed him suspiciously. Unlike the style on the left, the rooms on the right were different. Some were as wide as corridors, and some could rival the size of the main hall outside.

As he continued to walk, the end was getting closer and closer, and Chen Xun's footsteps were getting slower and slower. Finally, Chen Xun stopped in front of a white stone wall as smooth as a mirror. There was no way forward!

The black-robed woman behind him glanced at the wall and said faintly, "It seems that there is nothing you are looking for here. Envoy Chen should leave immediately as you said before."

Chen Xun didn't answer her immediately. Under his Heavenly Eye Divine Art, he finally found what he was looking for on this white stone wall as smooth as a mirror. Green light filled his eyes, and the stone wall in front of him seemed to have changed, and faint cyan light appeared. "I have found what I want to find. Excuse me, I can't leave. It's better for you to leave now, otherwise I can only use ruthless methods."

There was a hint of murderous intent in Chen Xun's words!

The black-robed woman took a deep look at Chen Xun. At this moment, she already understood that the other party's purpose was probably the same as her own. She didn't know how this guy knew about it anyway. She had spent a lot of effort to find out about this matter. "It seems that Envoy Chen has also come for the inheritance of Daoist Huayuan and Monk Konghe."

Her words shocked Chen Xun's heart. He slowly turned around and stared at the other party. This was the first time he knew the names of the two powerful cultivators. Daoist Huayuan... Monk Konghe... Yuan Kong Secret Realm!

"How did you know?" Chen Xun's expression was slightly gloomy. "In short, it's different from you." The black-robed woman took a deep breath and said lightly, "I originally wanted to spare your life, but now I'm afraid I can't. Even at the risk of being noticed, I must send Envoy Chen to heaven today." Chen Xun smiled: "That's what I wanted to say too."

Then the two figures retreated at the same time, widening the distance.
