This made Li Chen much easier to deal with. After all, the magical beasts that attacked him were not all in groups. There were times when they couldn't beat them and they would flee in all directions.

Slowly, Li Chen had been in this unknown secret realm for half a month. Li Chen was counting the days that had passed, but he still hadn't found the way out. Furthermore, Li Chen felt that the deeper he went into the secret realm, the higher the cultivation level of the magical beasts and the rarer the spirit herbs.

After killing another Phantom Beast of the eighth step, Li Chen took the crystal core and placed it over the fire to roast.

It was already late, but there were no stars nor any moon in this secret plane night. There was only one sun, but it was an orange one that illuminated the world in its dim orange hue.

During the day, however, there were two suns. One was glowing golden, while the other was glowing like the sun in their world. However, when the two were combined, a scorching, refreshing feeling filled the air. It was extremely strange.

This was how Li Chen divided the day and night. Although the day was strange, the night would not get dark.

Eating that half-human-sized Phantom Beast, Li Chen was planning on how to go tomorrow. In this secret realm, there were dangers everywhere, but the temptation was also extremely great. The temptation and the danger existed at the same time, and in Li Chen's spatial ring, more and more seventh, eighth grade magical beasts' cores and rare spirit herbs were present.

There was no lack of magical beasts here and the same could be said about the dangers. Not only did he have to be wary of magical beasts of higher and higher ranks, he also had to be careful of plants that looked beautiful and harmless.

A few days later, when Li Chen was picking a stalk of thousand year spirit grass, his hand caught empty air. A few days later, when Li Chen was picking a stalk of thousand year spirit grass, his hand grabbed empty air.

There was a use for Li Chen to gather so many spiritual herbs. However, when he went to the Shen Nong Valley to find the Heartless Pill's antidote, he might be able to exchange some resources.

Currently, Black Phoenix had yet to awaken. He didn't know when she would be able to finish absorbing the ninth stage crystal core. With so many crystal cores in her spatial ring, she should be able to recover more than half of her previous strength.

After he made up his mind where he would leave from tomorrow, Li Chen sat cross-legged to rest.

In this secret realm, Li Chen did not dare to sleep. He could only meditate and adjust his mental state.

The next day, Li Chen headed towards the east. The secret realm was very big. Li Chen had tried to use his spiritual sense to explore the path, but it was as far as he could see.

Just as Li Chen picked a stalk of spirit grass, he heard the sound of fighting. After hesitating for a moment, he also looked for the sound and walked over.

From afar, he could see two people fighting each other. Their moves were fierce and fatal, and their cultivation was very high. Li Chen stood at the side, and after knowing that the black robed man had been killed, the victor also looked for something on the black clothed man's body before immediately leaving.

Before Li Chen could do anything, a purple figure flew out from the side. The figure looked like a woman and it was much more graceful. However, because she was wearing a veil, Li Chen could only see her heroic eyes.

The purple-clothed woman bent down and searched around the body of the black-clothed dead person. She was the same as the one who had escaped with injuries, leaving with nothing to show for it.

Was this woman and the wounded man looking for something? What was the identity of that man in black? Li Chen felt extremely puzzled.

After waiting for a long time, another youth appeared and sized up the corpse. After looking at it, he frowned and quickly left.

It was not until nightfall, when the orange sun rose from the west, that Li Chen saw no one else. He slowly walked toward the corpse in alarm.

Looking at the man's appearance, Li Chen did not know who he was and his body had already been flipped over. Li Chen casually looked and had no intention of leaving, but the moment Li Chen turned around, he saw a mark on the corpse's right hand.

Li Chen stopped and lifted up his black sleeve, revealing the mark. Two slender horns intersected with each other, and in the middle was a black lotus flower. This mark was very familiar.

Li Chen thought for a while and suddenly thought of something. He turned to the lotus in between his brows and asked, "Little Lian, take a look. Do you want a sign on the Devil Realm's Gate?"

When Lil 'Lian heard the Devil Realm Gate, she immediately appeared between Li Chen's eyebrows. Lil' Lotus flew around the imprint and said, "Master, master does look a bit similar, but there is less than half of the white lotus imprint. It's just like Lil 'Lian!"

Little Lian's tender voice rang out and even flew in a circle in front of Li Chen's eyes.

"It does not look like it." But was the Bai Lian, who was missing half, related to the Devil Realm's Gate? Was this person an evil cultivator? However, he had interacted with evil cultivators before and did not realize that their right hands were so beautiful.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Li Chen couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore. He was just curious about the identity of this person and the actions of those two in the day, as if they were looking for something.

"Master, master, master, throw this person's chest aside, Little Lian found something inside."

In fact, it also felt that this person's heart was a little tasty, so after sensing it, it seemed to find that there was a layer of something separating them.

Without a doubt, Li Chen's hands quickly ripped open that person's chest. Unexpectedly, he didn't bleed, and was able to see the folds of his skin.

Li Chen picked it up and opened it up. It looked like a map. As Li Chen thought about it, he put the map into his spatial ring. It was not a good place to stay for long.

"Little Lian has left." Li Chen called out to Xiao Lian, but there was no response. He looked around and did not find any trace of Xiao Lian. He called out a few more times, but there was no response.

What happened? Li Chen frowned. Just as he was about to lift his leg to look for his, he heard a weak voice coming from the ground.

"Master, Master, Little Lian is full and can't get up anymore!" Master, please help me! "

Then, Li Chen saw a small lotus with half a black lotus petal leaking out of its chest. "Are you addicted to eating the heart?"

Li Chen couldn't help but suspect whether this matter was good or bad. If Little Lian wanted to eat his heart in the future, how could he find a place for her to go to? Killing people without reason was impossible for him.

Lil 'Lian said angrily, "But Master still didn't give me anything to eat. This heart tastes like the heart in the hall; it has demonic energy. "Xiao Lian won't eat anything that doesn't have demonic energy."

Alright, this was all his fault. However, Xiao Lian's words allowed Li Chen to conclude that if this person was not an evil cultivator, he would definitely have something to do with the demon realm.

Li Chen said nothing more. He picked up Xiao Lian and quickly left the area.

After arriving at a small pond, he threw Xiao Lian down to wash off the blood and sat down to meditate.

In this secret realm, Li Chen had only seen people for half a month. However, he didn't know if they were friends or foes, and the person who died was related to the Devil Realm's gate. There should still be many cultivators in this secret realm.

"Master, master, this heart is filled with even more demonic energy than last time. Little Lian is already full. "

While Li Chen was meditating, Little Lian made a movement and flew towards Li Chen from the pond. She circled around Li Chen and spoke softly.

Li Chen casually chatted with Xiao Lian for a while before he opened up the map he obtained today and started to look through it.

After a moment, Li Chen put down the map and pondered, "I should be at the Tiger Cult Mountain range on the map. There are two red lines drawn on the map, Red Valley and Seven Stars Palace. What do these two locations represent?"

This simple map only contained a few geographical names and comparisons. There was nothing else, just the red valley and the red coils of the Seven Stars Palace. There was also a place called Ice South Mountain, which was the largest in size.

These three places caught Li Chen's attention.

After making up his mind, he put away the map and called Xiao Lian back to his forehead. He then hurried on his journey through the night, at least to get out of this place first, no one knew if the two would come back and search for the corpse.

If he came back, he would know that someone had touched the corpse, and since his heart was no longer in his chest, he would definitely be able to guess that the map had been taken away. If he didn't leave now, wouldn't he have to stay and verify his conjecture?

Li Chen used his spiritual energy to quickly travel a thousand miles. However, he was still a long way from the red valley on the map. It seemed that the red valley was quite far from here.

When it was high school's day, Li Chen stopped and looked for something to eat. He explored the depths of the forest, and when he arrived at a cliff, Li Chen discovered a Goldfur Mouse. It wasn't big, but it just so happened that Li Chen reported for a meal.

Li Chen was surprised for a moment and immediately recovered his wits. He attacked the Goldfur Mouse again, and after ten more moves, Li Chen was even more shocked. The Goldfur Mouse that was only half a person tall was actually able to dodge his attack.

This was truly strange. Li Chen no longer held back. He attacked with all his strength, transforming into countless vines that wrapped around the Goldfur Mouse. It was only after a short while that Li Chen killed it.

When he obtained the Class 4 crystal core, Li Chen's expression was as serious as ever. This place was getting closer and closer to the Red Valley, but although this magical beast was only at the third or fourth step of strength, it actually had a faint consciousness and was dodging injuries so quickly that it didn't seem like a Class 3 or 4 Magical Beast at all.

It was really strange. Li Chen could not figure out the relationship between this place and the Red Valley. Moreover, the spirit energy here was abnormally rich. Usually, when there was spirit energy in one place, there would be no spirit energy in the other direction.

Along the way, they occasionally ran into one or two cultivators, but Li Chen was always on the safe side, so he didn't expose himself. After all, he didn't know if the people in the secret realm would kill him the moment he appeared, and from the looks of the people Li Chen had met, there was no one whose cultivation was below the third level of the Martial Saint Realm.
