"Fellow Daoist must be the powerful one who just entered the Yushi Realm?"

Standing behind Li Chen was a middle-aged man in a blue robe, who seemed quite ordinary, but the faint gleam in his eyes suggested that this strong individual was definitely not simple.

"I am Black River, congratulations to you, Fellow Daoist, for successfully infiltrating the God Subduing Swamp and entering this world." Black River said with a smile.

At their level, many things do not need to be concealed. Since he came from the outside, he also knows what exists outside the Yushi Realm. Li Chen’s ability to infiltrate this world from the God Subduing Swamp was certainly not simple.

Even though Li Chen’s cultivation was merely at the newly achieved Realm of Shen Tian, Black River dared not underestimate him. Especially looking at the commotion Li Chen caused earlier, the Shen Tian realm martial artist before him was definitely not simple!

Black River had lived too long and had seen many extraordinary beings. If not for his cautious nature, Black River would have become a pile of yellow earth countless years ago.

Li Chen glanced at Black River but didn’t say much, casually replying, "Actually, I’m just looking around. If there’s an opportunity, I’ll pick up some treasures, but if not, I’ll leave soon. Rest assured, I don’t intend to stay here long."

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Black River breathed a sigh of relief; Li Chen not intending to stay long was the best outcome.

Having operated here for thousands of years, Black River had long regarded the Yushi Realm as his resting place. Suddenly having such an unknown, powerful individual show up made him uneasy.

"If that’s the case, then feel free, Fellow Daoist." Black River sighed with relief and said with a smile, "If you need any assistance, just ask. We are all cultivators from the Four Realms; it’s only right to help each other in such an unfamiliar place."

It must be said, Black River’s words were quite pleasant, but Li Chen only looked at Black River with a half-smile, "If I say I want to take away this world’s innate secret techniques, would you help me?"

"This..." Black River’s face stiffened.

The innate secret techniques were the greatest legendary treasure of the Yushi Realm, the legacy of the Innate Gods and Demons.

Yet even Black River, after so many years in the Yushi Realm, still hadn’t found the location of the innate secret techniques, only a few traces at best.

"Alright, just joking." Li Chen smiled and shook his head, "I actually don’t lack these things, although having them would be best. If not, I’ll just take a walk and leave. Things that interest me are really not many."

This was not Li Chen boasting; at present, there really weren’t many things that could catch his eye.

As for treasures, he had several supreme treasures. As for pills, he himself was a powerful Heavenly Pill Grandmaster, and could refine whatever he needed.

In terms of divine objects, the good things on Li Chen were almost countless; even the Seven Divine Trees like the Eternal World Tree had taken root in his minor world. As for secret arts of divine abilities, Li Chen actually had many, all scavenged from the rings of enemies he had slain, though he had no time to practice them.

Because just his own sword technique was enough for Li Chen to ponder over.

Ask, is there anything in this world better than the supreme treasure of the Seven Divine Trees?

Even if there were any inheritance secret techniques of Innate Gods and Demons here, placed together with supreme treasures, any fool would know what to choose.

Hearings Li Chen’s words, Black River couldn’t help but feel moved and asked, "I wonder where your legacy comes from, Fellow Daoist?"

Li Chen smiled, "You, after all, are a Daoist Lord; do you need to be so cautious? However, you indeed are remarkable, a member of the Demon Race practicing Immortal Clan techniques, and even reaching this stage."

On hearing Li Chen’s words, Black River felt a shock in his heart.

He hadn’t taken any real action in a long time, and his legacy was extremely mysterious; even those who sparred with him found it hard to discern his origins, yet Li Chen had seen through him instantly, which was quite terrifying.

For a moment, even Black River’s gaze flickered.

At a certain point, killing intent surged within Black River’s heart.

His secret was too significant to permit any slip, and though this youth’s origin was mysterious, Black River had complete confidence in apprehending him with his transcendent rank.

This wasn’t arrogance; it was Black River’s confidence in himself.

Having stayed in the Yushi Realm for so many years, he hadn’t wasted his time.

When he first arrived, he was merely a beginner in the Ninth Order, but after so many years in the Yushi Realm, though he hadn’t found the innate secret technique, his cultivation had long reached the Ninth Order Peak.

Black River was even confident in facing the Heavenly Venerables and Supreme Daoist Sovereigns upon his return!

The Great Heavenly Honor in Heaven Realm refers to peak Heavenly Venerable level strong individuals.

In the Heaven Realm, there is the Great Heavenly Honor, while in the Immortal Domain, there is the Supreme Daoist Sovereign!

Even now, Black River was not far from becoming a Supreme Daoist Sovereign.

"Don’t harbor any thoughts against me." As if Black River’s change couldn’t escape Li Chen’s eyes, he said softly, "If your true body appeared, I’d indeed not be your match. But a mere alter ego can’t keep me here."

At these words, Black River’s face finally changed.

He actually saw through it!

Black River’s heart shook, having practiced Soul Splitting Technique a long time ago.

Moreover, besides himself, he hadn’t told anyone.

Soul Splitting Technique is a peculiar method; its unique technique can only be successfully split early on in cultivation. In later stages, the stronger the power, the harder it becomes, especially for strong individuals who’ve successfully condensed a Divine Soul or Primordial Spirit, where splitting isn’t just difficult, but the pain alone can drive one to collapse.

Soul Splitting Technique also has an advantage: both the true body and alter ego can cultivate independently without interference.

Black River’s greatest secret was the Soul Splitting Technique. At crucial moments, he could even merge the true body with the alter ego to further advance his strength.

This secret was also what Black River deemed as being capable of contending the Great Heavenly Honor and Supreme Daoist Sovereign!

"Fellow Daoist overthinks." Black River forced a laugh and said, "May I know how Fellow Daoist is addressed?"

Li Chen thought for a moment, then grinned, "If I recall correctly, people outside now call me... the Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign."
