 Chapter 6617 The Realm of Shadows

 Shadow Soul nodded: "I can give you part of the power of the Shadow Realm, but it is not free of cost. You have to pay the price for it, are you willing?"

 Chen Xuan did not hesitate. He knew that in this world full of unknowns, it was crucial to have stronger power.

 “I do,” he replied solemnly.

Yinghun stretched out his dark hand and gently touched Chen Xuan's forehead. Suddenly, a powerful spiritual energy poured into Chen Xuan's body. He felt an unprecedented power, and his body was full of strength and vitality.

“Now, you have the power of the Shadow Realm, but this is just the beginning. The road to the core area is full of challenges. You must deal with them carefully and not be careless.” Shadow Soul’s voice sounded again.

Chen Xuan nodded to express his gratitude, and then continued to move forward.

His body is full of strength and strength. In the darkness, his sword light flashes like flowing stars. He doesn't know what kind of challenges are waiting for him ahead, but he is fully prepared.

In this world full of mystery and unknown, Chen Xuan felt the powerful power surging in his body. This power from the realm of shadow made his whole body seem to be injected with infinite strength. He clenched the sword in his hand, He continued to move forward firmly, full of determination and confidence.

The road ahead is not smooth, and there are attacks from monsters and interference from ghosts from time to time, but Chen Xuan can handle it easily with the power of shadow he just obtained. His sword skills are even more proficient, and every swing is fatal. With one blow, the monsters and ghosts had almost no power to fight back in front of him.

As he moved forward, Chen Xuan gradually felt the stronger spiritual energy fluctuations in the core area. He knew that he was getting closer to his goal. The excitement in his heart made him more focused, and he kept moving forward, breaking through obstacles one after another.

Finally, when he came to a dark and deep valley, he felt the power of the core area reaching its peak. In the middle of the valley, a dark portal appeared, emitting a mysterious light.

 Chen Xuan's heartbeat accelerated. He knew that this was the entrance to the core area. He stepped toward the door and pushed it open without hesitation. The door slowly opened, and Chen Xuan walked into the darkness.

In the dark space, he felt an extremely huge force surging. The surroundings were dark, but in his sight, there were countless stars twinkling, forming a scene like a starry sky.

Suddenly, a solemn voice sounded in Chen Xuan's ears: "Your arrival is not accidental. You have the power of the Shadow Realm, and you are qualified to face me."

The sound dissipated, and a figure appeared in the starry sky. It was a figure wearing a black robe. His face could not be seen clearly, but he exuded an inviolable majesty.

 Chen Xuan paused, clasped his fists and said, "I'm here to find the Lord of Shadows."

 The man in black robe nodded: "Your determination is commendable, but if you want to get the truth, you must pass the test. Only by passing the test can you get the answer."

Chen Xuan's eyes flashed with determination: "Please tell me what the test is."

The man in black robe slowly raised his hand and pointed to the starry sky: "You must pass through the maze of stars, which contains all kinds of dangers and illusions. Only by successfully passing through the maze can you see me and get the answer you want."

Chen Xuan gritted his teeth and nodded: "I am willing to accept the test."

A trace of approval flashed in the black-robed man's eyes: "Very good, now, let's get started."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless light points suddenly flashed in the starry sky. They converged into a huge whirlpool, forming the entrance to the Star Maze. Chen Xuan took a deep breath and resolutely stepped into the Star Maze.

In the maze, the stars twinkled like an endless night sky. Chen Xuan moved forward cautiously, always alert to possible changes in his surroundings. However, the illusions in the maze made him uneasy. He saw all kinds of things that had happened in the past. Scenes and illusions were intertwined, making it difficult for him to distinguish between true and false.

He kept moving forward tentatively, the sword light piercing the air, breaking through the illusions one after another. However, as time passed, the illusions of the maze became more and more powerful, and it was almost too much for him to bear.

In the maze, Chen Xuan gradually lost his way. However, the belief in his heart made him refuse to give up. He knew that only by persisting could he pass the test and find the answer.

While walking hard, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. It was Li Hao. He was standing at the end of the maze. Chen Xuan felt a surge of joy in his heart. He quickened his pace, determined to find Li Hao and solve the mystery here.

However, just when he was about to approach Li Hao, countless phantoms suddenly appeared in the maze, surrounding him. Each of these phantoms were vivid and lifelike. Some were his former friends, some were his former enemies, and some were his beloved ones. people.

 Chen Xuan's heart trembled, and he fell into an inexplicable struggle. These phantoms seemed to be the embodiment of the fear and pain deep in his heart, making it difficult for him to extricate himself.

 “You can’t escape your own heart.” A cold voice sounded in his ear.

Chen Xuan gritted his teeth. He knew that this was a test. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the fear in his heart. He began to recall his past. Faced with past setbacks and failures, he no longer avoided them. , in the baptism of the soul, Chen Xuan gradually released the power deep in his heart. His sword light flashed again, piercing the phantom, and took the last step. The scene in front of him suddenly disappeared, and he found that he had reached the end of the maze.

 The disappearance of the illusion brought Chen Xuan back to reality, and the sight in front of him was unbelievable.

Li Hao was lying on the ground, his face pale and motionless. Chen Xuan fell to the ground and lifted Li Hao's body up tremblingly. His fingers touched Li Hao's pulse, but he couldn't feel any life.

 Chen Xuan murmured in a low voice.

"This is impossible...how could he..." He tried to use his magic power and tried every means to awaken Li Hao's life, but to no avail.

Li Hao just closed his eyes.

 Chen Xuan's eyes were firm and calm. He stared at the Lord of Shadows in front of him, his heart full of doubts and anger. He slowly said: "Test? What test is it? Why did Li Hao die because he failed to pass the test?"

The Lord of Shadows nodded slowly, with a deep light shining in his eyes: "In this illusion, everyone will face a test, a test that tests the deepest true thoughts and beliefs in the heart. Only by passing this test can one successfully escape from the illusion. .Li Hao didn’t pass.”

 Chen Xuan's fists clenched suddenly, and his eyes like heavenly fire flashed with anger.

"The test is not that simple." The voice of the Lord of Shadows was low and profound: "This test is a true portrayal of the deepest heart of everyone, and a reflection of the deepest conflicts and struggles in their hearts. Some people have hidden secrets in their hearts. There is a lot of fear and pain that cannot be faced, and this test will bring those challenges to light.”

 Chen Xuan was silent, and he began to reflect. In this illusion, he did face many inner conflicts and struggles, but he also understood why he failed because of this test?

"This test is not only an external challenge, but also an inner struggle." The Lord of Shadows continued to explain: "Sometimes, inner conflicts and troubles are more difficult to fight than external enemies, and everyone has their own test. , Only by truly facing the inner struggle can we get out of this illusion."

Chen Xuan nodded silently, and he began to understand.

 Although he hated this test, he also knew that it was part of growing up.

The Lord of Shadows smiled slightly, and his figure began to gradually disappear: "Remember, every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Only by constantly defeating yourself can you truly become stronger."

 Chen Xuan looked at the shadow in front of him, his heart filled with determination.

 As the Lord of Shadows dissipated, Chen Xuan's body and mind gradually calmed down.

 Subsequently, Chen Xuan left the Shadow Realm.

 Chen Xuan walked quickly to the main hall of the Dragon God Sect, his heart heavy. He took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and knocked on the door of the hall.

"Please come in." A deep voice came out. Chen Xuan opened the door and stepped into the hall. The sect master sat on the high platform and looked at Chen Xuan solemnly.

 “Chen Xuan, you are back.” The sect master smiled slightly, with concern in his tone.

Chen Xuan bowed and saluted: "Sect Master, I completed the task, but...but Li Hao was unable to come out of the illusion."

The sect leader's eyes flashed, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "The test in the illusion is very severe. Li Hao... maybe he still needs time to face his inner struggle. You did a good job, at least you Successfully walked out of that illusion.”

 “But the sect master.” Chen Xuan hesitated, his heart full of helplessness.

The sect leader's eyes were gentle but firm: "Chen Xuan, you cannot be responsible for Li Hao. Everyone has their own destiny and choice. You have tried your best. Next, you must be stronger and strive for greater success for yourself and the sect. glory."

 Chen Xuan nodded, a firm strength surged in his heart, and the sect master's encouragement made him cheer up again. He decided to work harder and live up to the sect master's expectations.

“Sect Master, please give me your instructions, I will do my best.” Chen Xuan said solemnly.

The sect leader smiled slightly: "Chen Xuan, you are the pride of the sect. Next, we will face greater challenges. You must lead the disciples of the sect to meet the challenges of the future."

 Chen Xuan had a firm expression on his face: "Yes, Sect Master, I will do my best to protect the honor of the Dragon God Sect."

The sect master nodded with satisfaction. He looked deeply at Chen Xuan, his eyes full of trust and expectation.

Chen Xuan turned around and left the hall, his heart full of determination. He knew that the future was full of uncertainties, but it was this challenge that made him more motivated. He decided to continuously improve himself and become the mainstay of the sect. Contribute your own strength to the prosperity and growth of the sect.

Then Chen Xuan stepped into his courtyard and felt relaxed. The courtyard is surrounded by green trees and fragrant flowers. A small stream gurgled, crystal clear. There is a stone table in the courtyard, with jade bottles and jars on it, which are various fairy herbs and medicinal materials that he has collected over the years. In the corner of the yard, there is a small pavilion, simple and elegant, which is where he practices and makes alchemy.

As night fell, the stars twinkled, and the courtyard seemed particularly peaceful. Chen Xuan sat in the pavilion, closing his eyes and concentrating. He felt the spiritual power flowing in his body, and his cultivation level was constantly improving.

This peaceful moment made him understand his path of spiritual practice more clearly.

At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open and Dugu Lun walked in. He looked at Chen Xuan with joy: "I have encountered some difficulties in refining alchemy. I wonder if I can ask for advice?"

 Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, motioning for him to sit down: "Of course, Dugu Lun, what problem did you encounter?"
