The young man before him, ghost-like, was very powerful.

Incredibly powerful!

Li Chen could feel it, even the suppression here maybe wasn’t having much effect on this being.

Li Chen even suspected that the suppression here might have no effect on this young man at all.

But he was someone who dared to try.

Things must be tried to know.

This was Li Chen’s life motto; even in seemingly impossible situations, he dared to give it a try.

This was also the reason he could steadfastly cultivate until today.

No matter how many times he faced danger and despair, he never completely gave up, no matter the circumstances; he dared to try.

If there is no road, then carve one out!

"Try?"

The ghost-like pale young man glanced at Li Chen, and after a long pause, shook his head: "Little guy, you really have courage. But, if I wipe you out, there might be trouble coming my way immediately. After all, you are seen as a promising being by that great figure."

After staring at Li Chen for a while, the pale young man shook his head: "Forget it, since you must protect that thing, then take it. Although I’m agreeable, others might not be. So after this, you should quickly improve your cultivation."

Looking at Li Chen, the pale young man sighed slightly: "Though your strength is indeed impressive, your cultivation is too low. If you don’t quickly enhance your cultivation, some individuals might not be able to resist taking action against you; by then, you will understand that everything you rely on is nothing but fleeting smoke."

After speaking, the pale young man turned his aura down and slowly floated away.

"Who exactly are you?" Li Chen couldn’t help but ask while looking at the pale youth’s silhouette, as there was something peculiar about this powerful young man’s demeanor.

And from his words, Li Chen could vaguely deduce that this was probably an ancient strongman!

"Don’t you already have the answer?" The pale young man did not turn around, only spoke in a ghostly voice: "You’re right, I am a ghost. However, in a very long past, I had many clansmen, but now, I’m just a lone wandering ghost."

The figure of the pale youth gradually receded, faintly seeming to send forth a sigh.

This sigh appeared to transcend time and space, a long sigh that was poignant and forlorn.

"Ghost..." Li Chen’s eyes flashed with a sharpened essence at the thought.

"Ghost Race?"

Watching the retreating pale youth, Li Chen seemed to understand something.

The ancient battle shattered several Great Realms, among them was the disintegrated Ghost Realm, known as the Realm of Destiny. And the race that dwelled upon the Ghost Realm named themselves after the boundary, calling themselves the Ghost Race.

The Ghost Realm indeed broke apart, but the Ghost Race might not be extinct entirely.

Just like the Human Realm, though fragmented, it transformed into countless pieces, attaching beneath All Circles, continuously offering fresh blood to the Four Great Realms.

What about the Ghost Realm?

Li Chen didn’t know, but upon seeing this pale young man, he seemed to grasp something.

The strength of the pale youth was so profound that even now he couldn’t estimate it, but he had a feeling.

The suppression of the Regretless Mountain Range seemed to have no bearing on him!

Bear in mind, this place could forcibly suppress even Daoist Lord Level strong people; nonetheless, it might be ineffective against this pale youth, indicating something beyond words.

Upon witnessing the departure of the pale youth, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Frankly, although he exhibited a desire for battle, in his heart, he felt uncertain.

Even facing a Daoist Lord, Li Chen could remain fearless, yet when confronting this profound pale youth, Li Chen truly felt unsure.

"Forget it, let’s not dwell on too much." Thinking it over, since the pale youth promised not to covet Tian Yi’s interest anymore, he didn’t need to shadow him incessantly.

A strongman such as this probably wouldn’t stoop to break their word.

"Next, I shall traverse this place alone." Li Chen murmured to himself, "Perhaps, as he said, I indeed should hasten my cultivation."

No one knew that at this moment, Li Chen made an extraordinarily bold decision in his heart!

If this decision were spread out, it would likely frighten many people.

...

"Secret realm!"

Netherworld and Bai Shi traversed the Starry Sky of the Little Secret Realm, with exhaustion etched deeply on both their faces.

"Damn it, how did we end up in a place like this, and that guy’s relentless pursuit still isn’t letting up? Did we rob his ancestral tomb?" Even Bai Shi, with his honest nature, couldn’t help but curse out loud.

"Uncle Bai, let’s not discuss this now, we should focus on finding the way to the next layer of the secret realm instead." Netherworld sighed helplessly: "We can’t possibly delay him any further in the short term, so now the only thing we can do is quickly find the path to the next layer of the secret realm."

Bai Shi nodded bleakly: "We entered the mountain of treasures yet didn’t even get a chance to hunt for them. It’s truly frustrating."

As he sprinted, Bai Shi, overtaken by anger, swung his fist at an unsightly meteorite beside him.

"Boom!"

Under Bai Shi’s terrifying strength, the meteorite shattered inch by inch.

However, soon enough, a roaring noise abruptly sounded.

Upon hearing this roar, Bai Shi and Netherworld’s hearts simultaneously cried out in dismay.

Though they hadn’t been pursued just yet, if anything slowed them further, they were certain to be caught.

As Netherworld said, presently, they lacked the power to stall the one chasing them.

Having been fleeing and pursuing all along, they hadn’t had much time to recover their cultivation; being able to persist until now was already quite remarkable.

According to the First Layer’s laws of the secret realm, whoever breaks open a meteorite and releases the monster inside will be hunted by the monster relentlessly, without rest until death.

Even if others pass by or intervene against them, they will be ignored, with all focus on killing the one who shattered the meteorite.

This is the consensus reached by all cultivators who’ve stayed in the First Layer for some time.

Yet, at the moment Bai Shi shatter the meteorite, the monster merely bellowed once, and upon its gaze sweeping over Bai Shi, its attention unexpectedly turned toward the rear of the duo.

The target clearly was at hand, yet it looked elsewhere.

This, in the First Layer of the Little Secret Realm, utterly defied established norms.

Those nearby who witnessed this were ready to comment on Bai Shi’s poor luck, but found the monster flashed away, charging towards the rear of the two, leaving them bewildered.

"What’s...going on here?"
