"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Miss Chu."

Chen Xiao said politely.

He appeared calm and collected on the surface, but in reality, he was already impatient.

Because he had discovered a place within this great hall that his divine sense couldn't penetrate, like a vacuum.

If he guessed correctly, Chu Qingluan was taking him precisely there.

And that was indeed the case. Chu Qingluan led the way, twisting and turning until they arrived at the location of that 'vacuum'.

It was a tightly closed door. Chu Qingluan didn't play coy and directly opened the door. Inside, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, truly like a void.

"Mr. Chen, let's go in. I hope it won't scare you."

Chu Qingluan said with a smile.

"It's fine, I'm not afraid of the dark."

Chen Xiao responded with a smile as well.

He naturally knew that it wasn't just darkness inside, but he hadn't expected that the other side of the door would actually be a cave.

To be precise, it was a dark and damp karst cave.

Dripping wet water droplets fell from the stalactites hanging upside down, and beneath their feet was a dark river more than two meters wide.

As soon as he arrived here, Chen Xiao's pupils contracted sharply.

What rich spiritual energy!

The concentration of spiritual energy here was even higher than that in Mountain Sea Number One.

Of course, this was related to Chen Xiao's deliberate control of the spiritual energy concentration in Mountain Sea Number One.

But the spiritual energy concentration here was truly high to an outrageous degree, at least ten times higher than Medicine King Valley!

And the amazing thing didn't stop there. Chen Xiao discovered that the range covered by his divine sense here was greatly reduced, only able to cover a distance of about two or three meters around him.

In almost just a few seconds, Chen Xiao confirmed one thing... this was not the real world he was in!

"Mr. Chen, do you find it very magical?"

Chu Qingluan asked with a charming smile. Chen Xiao's reaction was within her expectations.

"This is... an illusion?"

Chen Xiao asked tentatively.

"Mr. Chen, let's go out first and talk as we walk."

As she spoke, Chu Qingluan stepped forward along the bank of the dark river.

Chen Xiao frowned slightly and followed.

"Mr. Chen, this is not an illusion. This is a real world... but not the real world you live in."

Chu Qingluan explained, "There is a saying in Buddhism that a thousand minor chiliocosms make up a medium chiliocosm, and a thousand medium chiliocosms make up a major chiliocosm!"

"If the three thousand major chiliocosms were a towering tree, then the major chiliocosm you live in would be the trunk of the tree, while the medium and minor chiliocosms would be the branches and twigs of the tree, respectively."

"I wonder if you can understand what I'm saying?"

Chen Xiao nodded and summarized, "In short, I have now come to another world, right?"

Chu Qingluan smiled sweetly, "That's right, that's how it is."

"Then is your world a minor chiliocosm or a medium chiliocosm?"

Chen Xiao quickly accepted this setting and immediately asked.

Chu Qingluan was slightly taken aback. Obviously, she hadn't expected Chen Xiao to accept it so quickly. She thought Chen Xiao would need at least a little while to recover!

"Mr. Chen, the world where the Divine Clan Palace is located is called the Divine Clan Realm, and it is a medium chiliocosm. The inner palace I mentioned earlier refers to this place."

Chu Qingluan explained.

"So this is a medium chiliocosm."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Then in that case, are the first-class sects of the ancient martial world, such as逍遥谷 Xiaoyao Valley, 铁拳门 Tiequan Sect, and 凌霄殿 Lingxiao Palace, also located in a medium chiliocosm, respectively?"

Chu Qingluan was stunned again, and after a few seconds, she said, "Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to know so much... It seems that your opportunity is definitely not comparable to ordinary warriors in the secular world."

Chen Xiao smiled without committing himself.

And Chu Qingluan continued to introduce, "Among the first-class ancient martial sects, only the worlds where Lingxiao Palace and our Divine Clan Palace are located are medium chiliocosms. As for Xiaoyao Valley, Tiequan Sect, etc., they are in minor chiliocosms. Compared with medium chiliocosms, the concentration of spiritual energy and the extent of vastness of minor chiliocosms are slightly inferior."

"I see."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly and continued to ask, "Then what about the Immortal Hidden Realm? Is the Immortal Hidden Realm also a medium chiliocosm?"

Hearing this, Chu Qingluan was directly dumbfounded.

"Mr. Chen, what exactly are you? Why do you even know about the Immortal Hidden Realm?"

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, "Miss Chu, just tell me the answer to the question. I may know a little more than you think, but there is even more that I don't know."

"Alright, the Immortal Hidden Realm is indeed a medium chiliocosm, but it is the largest medium chiliocosm. It is said that one Immortal Hidden Realm is equivalent to a thousand Divine Clan Realms, but I have never been to the Immortal Hidden Realm, so I don't know if this statement is true or false."

Chu Qingluan said, and after she finished speaking, she asked, "Mr. Chen, have you been to the Immortal Hidden Realm?"

Chen Xiao shook his head, "I haven't either."

Chu Qingluan regretted asking as soon as she finished asking, feeling like an idiot.

How could a place like the Immortal Hidden Realm be a place one could just go to? Unless Mr. Chen was a disciple of the Immortal Hidden Realm, otherwise, how would he have the opportunity?

But then again, if Mr. Chen had the opportunity to be a disciple of the Immortal Hidden Realm, how could he have come here?

Just as Chu Qingluan was thinking wildly, Chen Xiao's question came again.

"So you are the descendants of those who survived the catastrophe five hundred years ago, right?"

Chen Xiao almost didn't need to ask for the answer to this question. Now he just hoped that Chu Qingluan would confirm it.

"That's right, we are indeed the descendants of those surviving ancestors."

Chu Qingluan shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Chen, you really know more than I imagined. I want to ask, what exactly are you?"

"I am Chen Xiao."

Chen Xiao said casually, "That's all."

Chu Qingluan was speechless for a moment, but her interest in Chen Xiao was obviously greater than before.

Just as she wanted to ask a question, Chen Xiao suddenly stopped because he noticed that a light suddenly shone in front of him.

As they spoke, the two had almost reached the exit of the karst cave.

Chen Xiao quickened his pace and walked out of the karst cave.

The dazzling sunlight sprinkled down from the sky, and what came into view was a vast and boundless new world.

Endless mountains, towering peaks reaching into the clouds, and rushing rivers.

The mountains were densely forested, with rare and exotic animals everywhere, and an even more magnificent palace was hidden among the mountains.

*Lì*—

At this moment, a bird's cry came from the sky.

Chen Xiao looked up, and it was a bird he had never seen before.

Its body was huge, and its wings spread out were two or three meters long. Its feathers were mainly cyan, and its wings and tail were dotted with colorful plumes.

And then Chen Xiao suddenly noticed that there was a huge rock standing at the entrance of the karst cave, and three ancient characters were engraved on the stone - *Zhū Shén Jiè*!

Chen Xiao then realized... so, the *zhū* of *Zhū Shén* (诛神) was this *zhū* (诛)!
