Because of this trip to the border of the Tian Clan, Xiao Chen did not plan to return to the Heavenly Palace. Instead, he planned to go directly to the Beast Clan's territory and then return to the Human Clan.
It had been more than two years since he went out to train. Xiao Chen's improvement was undoubtedly huge. Furthermore, he had successfully become one of the thirty-six Heavenly Stars on the Saint Rankings. His goal could be considered to have been successfully achieved.
Knowing that Xiao Chen was going to leave again, Tian Yue was naturally extremely reluctant. However, under Xiao Chen's comfort, she was obedient.
"Alright, it's not like we won't meet again. Cultivate in the Heavenly Palace in peace. If there's anything, send me a message." Xiao Chen gently comforted Tian Yue as he held her hand.
After waiting for a moment in the main square, everyone arrived. Under the lead of the Heavenly King, the group left the Heavenly Palace through the teleportation array.
This trip was naturally led by the Heavenly King, The Great Sage. In addition, there were a total of twelve elders. Among them, two were Main Elders and ten were ordinary elders.
In addition to the elders, there were also deacons and some disciples. Of course, the most important ones were Tian Muxi, Tian Fen, and Xiao Chen. This was because the three of them represented the Heavenly Palace in the competition for the ownership of this secret realm.
There were nearly a hundred people. It wasn't a lot, but their strength was definitely not to be underestimated.
They safely arrived at the border between the Tian Clan's territory and the Ghost Clan's territory. The border between the two clans was a wasteland called the Heavenly Ghost Plain.
Normally, this Heavenly Ghost Plain could be said to be deserted because it was filled with poisonous gas. Even if a martial artist entered it, they would instantly die from the poison once they came into contact with it.
With such a dead land as a barrier, the Tian Clan and the Ghost Clan rarely had any conflicts over territory. Of course, the Ghost Clan obviously didn't want to take the initiative to provoke the Tian Clan because the Tian Clan was very strong, at least far stronger than the Human Clan.
On the surface, the Heavenly Palace seemed to only have three Palace Lords, but according to many rumors, the power of the Heavenly Palace was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface. At least, many people guessed that there were definitely more than three The Great Sage in the Heavenly Palace, and that there were other The Great Sage hiding in the dark and rarely showing themselves.
In the Central World, the Celestial Clan was definitely the strongest and most powerful clan. Therefore, even the Ghost Clan would not want to provoke the Celestial Clan unless it was necessary.
In the past, no one would choose to enter the Heavenly Ghost Plain, but on this day, Xiao Chen's group went deep into the plain under the Heavenly King's lead.
Before entering the Heavenly Ghost Plain, the Heavenly King gave everyone a pill. This pill was specially refined by the Heavenly Palace, and its only use was to resist the poisonous gas in the plain.
They didn't waste any time along the way and had no intention of strolling around the Heavenly Ghost Plain.
After all, it was impossible for there to be any treasures in such a wasteland filled with poisonous gas. If it weren't for the fact that the secret realm this time was in the Heavenly Ghost Plain, no one would have come here.
After rushing for a day, Xiao Chen's group finally arrived at the entrance of the secret realm. At this time, there were already experts from the Celestial Clan and the Ghost Clan guarding the secret realm.
Seeing the Heavenly King's arrival, the experts from the Celestial Clan took the initiative to welcome him and bowed. "Greetings, Palace Lord."
"Where are the people from the Ghost Clan?" The Heavenly King asked indifferently.
"Replying to Palace Lord, the people from the Ghost Clan haven't arrived yet," the leading expert replied.
Since the Ghost Tribe had yet to arrive, the Heavenly King did not say anything else. He led everyone into the secret realm.
This time, the place where the Chosen of the two clans would fight was set in the secret realm. The battle stage had already been built in advance, and at the same time, the talisman array had been carved.
After passing through the entrance, the secret realm was completely different from the desolation of the Heavenly Ghost Plain outside.
The secret realm was filled with lush greenery, and as far as the eye could see, it was a scene of overflowing vitality. Moreover, the surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was extremely rich.
Xiao Chen didn't know what the secret realm was used for, but of course, he wasn't stupid enough to ask.
After all, the secret realm had nothing to do with him. It belonged to the Heavenly Palace, and even if he asked, they wouldn't tell him. It was better not to ask for a rebuff.
However, no matter what the secret realm was used for, just the rich Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was already extraordinary. At the very least, cultivating here would be much faster than cultivating in the outside world.
They didn't go deep into the secret realm and stopped at the entrance. There, they saw that a battle stage had already been built. They sat down cross-legged and waited quietly for the arrival of the Ghost Clan's expert.
Obviously, they had no intention of bringing Medium Heat into the depths of the secret realm. After all, the final owner of the secret realm hadn't been determined yet, and some things didn't need to be done too early.
After two hours, the Ghost Clan's expert finally arrived. The leader was also a quasi-Saint Great Sovereign. However, when Xiao Chen saw the quasi-Saint Great Sovereign from the Ghost Clan, a strange look flashed across his eyes. This was because Xiao Chen knew him.
He still remembered that when the Sacred Palace first came to the Central World, they had fallen into the Ghost Clan's territory. At that time, the Sacred Palace was attacked by a Great Sage Sect of the Ghost Clan called the Ghost Emperor Sect.
The Great Sage leading the Ghost Clan's expert was the Ancestor of the Ghost Emperor Sect, Sovereign Gui Shuang.
Back then, Xiao Chen was almost killed by Sovereign Gui Shuang. He was directly affected by the spatial turbulence and was forcibly sent to the Demon Clan's territory. In the end, he had to go through untold hardships to return to the Human Clan's territory.
He looked directly at Sovereign Gui Shuang, but at this time, Sovereign Gui Shuang obviously didn't care about Xiao Chen. His eyes fell directly on the Heavenly Monarch, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Heavenly Monarch, your Celestial Race doesn't lack secret realms. Why don't you give it to my Ghost Clan? How about we exchange it with other treasures?"
"Heh, then why don't your Ghost Clan give up? My Celestial Race can also exchange it with other treasures. "The Heavenly Monarch sneered.
What a joke. The value of this secret realm, especially those ordinary treasures, couldn't be compared to the value of this secret realm.
The Great Sage and Sovereign Gui Shuang were full of hostility. Xiao Chen was naturally unwilling to accept this. Bored, Xiao Chen sized up the others on the Ghost Clan's side.
His gaze swept across everyone one by one, but Xiao Chen didn't expect to see an acquaintance in the Ghost Clan's camp.
"Mo Xie …"
Mo Xie was once the first Chosen of the Northern Star Boundary's Night Ghost Pavilion. Back then, when the Sacred Palace and the other five major sects besieged the Night Ghost Pavilion, Mo Xie was the first to escape. Although the Sacred Palace had searched for Mo Xie's whereabouts afterward, they had found nothing.
Xiao Chen didn't expect to see him here. His gaze fell on Mo Xie. At the same time, Mo Xie also sensed Xiao Chen's gaze and turned his head. Just like Xiao Chen, Mo Xie was stunned for a moment and unconsciously said, "Xiao Chen."
