He was looking at another cavern on the eastern slope a mile away.

At this time, Leng Chanra and Fang Bu Yuan’s ice coffin were hidden there.

In fact, Chu Xisheng intended to cremate Fang Bu Yuan’s body directly by fire.

After being cremated to ashes, the remains would be easy to carry.

However, Leng Chanra insisted on preserving Fang Bu Yuan’s corpse in ice, to take it out of the Secret Realm.

Chu Xisheng guessed that this person was still worried about being questioned by the Mountain Patrol Institute Great Elder afterward, and wanted to take Fang Bu Yuan’s corpse out of the Secret Realm to explain to his father.

The problem was that Leng Chanra himself didn’t have the capability to do so, and could only ask Chu Ming for help.

The Chu family’s All Heavens Star Fall Sword encompassed everything, including cold techniques.

“There are too few clues, and nothing can be discerned. The murderer’s movement technique was extraordinary, moving swiftly here and there. Apart from the sword wounds on Fang Bu Yuan’s body, no other clues were left behind. No footprints, nor any objects.”

Chu Xisheng shook his head, “For us, who the real killer is actually has no significance. From the moment we entered the Secret Realm, we have to consider everyone as potential enemies, even those from my own sect. So, the matter of pursuing the real culprit is better left to the Sect Disciplinary Court and Elder Fang himself afterward.”

Now, he had returned to sit on a slate of green stone inside the cavern, closing his eyes: “Rather than thinking about these issues, it’s better to focus on cultivation. As long as our strength improves, no ghostly tricks or schemes will be fearsome.”

Zhou Liangchen thought it made sense. Admiration showed on his face as he thought, truly befitting of my lord.

He then also sat down with closed eyes on another piece of green stone and began cultivating his family’s technique, ‘Mad Sea Lone Boat’.

The richness of Spiritual Power in this Time Secret Realm was unbelievably abundant, even stronger than the effect of a Spirit Gathering Array in the outside world.

When the black torrential rain fell, the density of the Spiritual Power increased several times over its original level.

The key was that this stormy environment was exceptionally suited for his family’s techniques.

Zhou Liangchen, cultivating here at this moment, could achieve in one day what would normally take three days.

Chu Xisheng’s progress in cultivating the Formless Skill was slightly slower than Zhou Liangchen’s.

This world had no stars or moons, hence there was no power of the morning sun.

Luckily, the rain also contained strong positive energy.

However, this positive energy, originating from the Ancient God’s Divine Blood, was incredibly fierce and difficult to tame or utilize.

Chu Xisheng’s growth in cultivation was only equivalent to just over two days in the outside world.

Yet, his progress in ‘repaying his debts’ had increased instead of decreased. After transferring the Formless Skill for an hour, Chu Xisheng’s lifespan actually extended by a full day.

Outside the cavern, the black torrential rain was still pouring down with an even more ferocious momentum.

A large amount of rainwater was gathering into a stream outside, flowing down the mountain with a gurgling sound.

The cavern excavated by Chu Xisheng was meticulously constructed, built halfway up the slope, which provided excellent drainage.

However, as time passed, a small amount of water was still back flowing, seeping into the cavern.

Chu Xisheng paid no attention to it; after completing his practice of the Formless Skill, he devoted all his energy to ‘Infinite Slash,’ delving into the True Intent diagram given by Chu Yunyun.

Only half an hour later did the black rain’s ferocity begin to weaken, slowly drizzling down, and the curtain of rain gradually thinned.

Bai Xiaozhao, who was guarding the entrance and keeping watch for the two, suddenly let out a surprised yelp, “The rain is still falling, wasn’t it supposed to stop after an hour and a half?”

Chu Xisheng lifted his eyelids, glanced outside, and said, “It’s about to stop.”

His mind, however, was preoccupied with the words Chu Yunyun told him before coming here.

If the duration of the torrential rain extended, it signified that the injuries of the Ancient Giant God within the Time Secret Realm were worsening.

This was closely related to the precious Taoist fate within the Secret Realm—

At this moment, Chu Xisheng’s mind stirred, feeling a thought transmitted across the void and piercing into his Primordial Spirit.

In an instant, the virtual panels displaying characters in Chu Xisheng’s field of view started to wobble unstably.

Many of the characters on it were slightly twisted.

At the same time, Chu Xisheng sensed a thought inside his mind.

This was a challenge from a ‘Burial Sky Chosen,’ an Inner Sect Disciple from Blood Bat Mountain named Mei Shu, issued through the Divine Grace Seal.

Chu Xisheng’s brows raised slightly in response.

The Divine Grace Arena Battle was one of the rules of the ‘Time Secret Realm.’

All the Divine Favored within the Secret Realm could issue a challenge to other favored individuals through their own ‘Divine Grace Seal,’ regardless of distance.

Every month, one challenge could be initiated, a duel of life and death, the victor lives, the loser dies.

The winner would not only gain favor and possibly Divine Grace from the deity but also acquire all the Magic Artifacts and wealth of the loser.

The one challenged could refuse, but they must accept at least one battle a month.

The consequence of refusing continuously for a month is being scorned by these warlike gods, immersed in combat all day and night.

If it were outside the Secret Realm, the scorn of the gods would amount to the deprivation of Divine Grace.

But inside the Secret Realm, those scorned by the gods would find themselves with terrible luck, and they would also face ferocious attacks from the native beings of this world.

Almost all of these native beings with even a hint of spiritual wisdom are followers of these War Gods and Military Gods.

Chu Xisheng’s expression remained serene.

He had anticipated before entering the Secret Realm that there would certainly be people taking advantage of the rule of the Divine Grace Seal to challenge him with the intention of taking his life.

He expected Chu Ming would face the same situation.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he accepted the challenge.

To acquire the Taoist fate mentioned by Chu Yunyun, Chu Xisheng had to eliminate any interference from the Gods.

The favor of ‘Burial Sky’ and ‘Li Tan’ was crucial to him.

Chu Xisheng could not afford to lose the divine favor of these two Demon Gods at such a time.
