Chapter 121: First Encounter with Xuan Hou
There are some dark-looking trees on the island, and a small wooden house.

Chen Fan did not go to the island, but looked out from a distance. He felt the breath of life in the cabin, and there was... someone inside!
When Chen Fan noticed this, the wooden door opened and a woman in white walked out.

"Young friend, could you please come down and have a chat?"

Just one glance was enough to make Chen Fan's hair stand on end. His instinct was like a flashing red light warning him that if he dared to run, the end would be dire.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Fan forced himself to smile, and then landed on the island.

"Junior Chen Fan, nice to meet you, senior."

"Chen Fan...I've seen you."

"Uh."

Chen Fan was stunned. He dared to guarantee with his head that he had never seen this woman who was at least a king in the realm of life and death...

But the next moment, Chen Fan suddenly recalled the aura and the woman's voice he felt on the first day aboard the Dawn.

The more I think about the voices, the more similar they seem. No, it's the same person!

"I remembered?"

The woman said with a smile.

"I remember now. Senior has seen me on the Dawn."

Chen Fan asked.

"Yes, I originally wanted to take the Dawn to the Blackwater Alliance, but I didn't expect to find you on the ship."

"I?"

"Yes, you are quite powerful, and your perception is comparable to that of a king. I am not sure I can hide under the nose of a king for a long time, so I can only leave."

The more Chen Fan listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. He always felt that something was odd, and there seemed to be some blame in the words.

"No, I guess I'm wrong. A king is magnanimous, why would he bother about such a small matter?"

Chen Fan dismissed the idea in his mind.

At this moment, the woman looked at Chen Fan's changing expression, chuckled, and stopped teasing him. Instead, she said seriously: "Okay, let's talk business. What are you doing here? Do you know that this is the depths of the Black Sea? Even a king is not sure to leave!"

Faced with a king whose background was unclear, Chen Fan did not dare to lie and could only tell part of the truth.

"You said there's something in the depths of the Black Sea that's attracting you?"

The woman was surprised.

"Yes."

Chen Fan said that he did not hide anything, he just replaced the origin of the true spirit with himself. As for why, who knows, maybe it is because he is gifted.

The woman looked at Chen Fan deeply and said in an inexplicable tone, "You can be attracted to another world. It seems that you have something very important."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Fan's pupils shrank sharply, and a storm surged in his heart.

It was just his guess that there was another world deep in the Black Sea. Even he himself was not sure, but the woman was sure of it.

Chen Fan had no doubt about the words of a king. If someone was unhappy with him, he could just crush him to death with one hand. There was no need to lie to him.

"You are surprised. It seems you know something."

The woman spoke.

Chen Fan was shocked again. He had just been tested. What was more important was that he had not reacted at all. After he came to his senses, he became more wary of the woman in front of him.

This is outrageous. She tricked him into telling the truth in just a few words. Who is she?

"Don't look at me like that. If you want to know why, just follow me."

The woman said calmly and turned to go into the cabin.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Fan followed in. The reason had been mentioned before, in front of the king, especially this extremely mysterious king.

He had no chance of winning at all, unless he used the trump card left by King Lei Ling, but he was unwilling to give up. He had come this far, and he would not give up if he didn't figure something out!

The cabin is not big and the furnishings are simple, with a bed and a wooden table, and that’s it…Oh, by the way, there is also a booklet on the table.

"senior."

Chen Fan wanted to say something, but the booklet was thrown into his arms.

"have a look."

With doubt in his mind, Chen Fan opened the booklet.

"I hate it!"

What caught my eye were three large, eye-catching characters, bright red and glaring. Even though an unknown amount of time had passed, they still carried a terrifying murderous aura that lingered for a long time.

“After the Heavenly Sword pierced through the True Spirit Barrier, I anticipated that the True Spirit would face a great catastrophe. In order to protect myself, I came to this secret realm that I accidentally discovered in my early years.

This secret place is extremely special. It seems to be a bridge connecting two worlds. I want to travel through the passage and go to another world to avoid the catastrophe.

But why! The secret realm is so fragile, I can’t even pass through... Why... "

There aren't many words, and what follows is all about the author's anger. He hates people, the world, and the secret realm... The anger is too strong, so Chen Fan didn't read on.

Closing the booklet, Chen Fan looked at the woman in front of him.

"The owner of this booklet is a powerful person from ancient times, known as the Emperor. His strength is suspected to have surpassed that of a king in the realm of life and death. He is very terrifying."

The woman, Chen Fan, didn't understand and explained.

Little did she know that Chen Fan might know more about ancient things than she did.

"Senior, you arrived here earlier and found the passage."

Chen Fan asked. His true spiritual origin could only sense the approximate range of the passage. From now on, he had to rely on himself.

But Chen Fan knew nothing about it. He even got here by luck. How could he find the passage? Only this mysterious queen had this ability.

"Not bad, quick thinking."

The woman looked at Chen Fan approvingly, then waved her hand, and the ground began to shake. Chen Fan suddenly felt that he was rising. No, it was not him who was rising, but the island that was rising.

Walking out of the cabin, as expected, the island had risen by at least several meters and was still rising rapidly.

"What a mysterious method!"

Chen Fan was shocked. He could easily break these rocks and even create huge waves in the Black Sea, but he couldn't make the island rise. Not to mention he could do it, it was hard for him to understand now.

It is impossible for the mystery of earth to create land out of thin air and elevate the island.

The woman at the side obviously had no intention of explaining. She looked into the distance and pointed, "See? That's where the passage is."

Chen Fan looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a faint light emerging in the endless darkness at the end of his sight.

Suddenly, the source of the true spirit in the soul sea trembled slightly, and Chen Fan understood that the woman had not lied to him.

"What are we going to do next?"

Chen Fan asked, after so much time, if he didn't find out that it was the woman in front of him who caused the abnormal movement of the true spirit origin, then he would have cultivated to this level in vain. Logically speaking, Chen Fan could leave now, because his target was this woman, and this woman's target was clearly that passage.

But Chen Fan didn't dare. That's right, it's not that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare, because when the island rose just now, he felt that the space around him was locked.

What do you mean?
That is to say, even if one uses a backup plan, one may not be able to break through the space and escape from the Black Sea.

Obviously, the woman didn't want him to leave. Although she looked easy to talk to and answered every question, it was impossible for a person who could cultivate to the level of a king to be so compassionate.

No matter what he does, Chen Fan can't leave now and can only stay where he is, a bit like a sheep under the eyes of a wolf, with no choice.

"Senior, let's be frank. You tell me what I want to do. There's no need to be like this. It makes me feel insecure."

Chen Fan smiled bitterly and spoke.

"Really? But I think only in this way will you listen to me."

The woman smiled. She had no doubt that as long as she unlocked the space blockade, Chen Fan would disappear in an instant, without any trace being found.

Compared to Chen Fan's words, the woman believed more in her intuition that had saved her from life and death many times.

Chen Fan touched his nose. This feeling of not being trusted was really uncomfortable, even though what she said was true.

The woman jumped up and headed towards the passage, and Chen Fan followed closely behind her. With their speed, it seemed very far away, but it didn't take long before they arrived at the passage.

The passage lies across the Black Sea, and is a white whirlpool that is as tall as a person. Even in this dark Black Sea, it still emits a unique white light and is very conspicuous.

"Just as the ancient emperor said, the passage has a limit to its endurance. I experimented a few days ago and it is indeed true. If the endurance is not high, the king cannot set foot in it."

Women Road.

Chen Fan gradually felt something was wrong, and sure enough, the next second, the woman said.

"I was hoping you could go in for me."

"I…"

The corner of Chen Fan's mouth twitched. He really wanted to ask the woman what on earth she was thinking that made him do such a dangerous thing.

For Chen Fan, the danger level of an event is divided from low to high: if there is no danger, you can do it at will; if there is a little danger, you can do it with some preparation.

What follows is a very dangerous thing that may put his life in danger. Chen Fan would never do it unless he has no other choice.

In the end, it was a situation where there was a high probability of death or even no hope of survival. Even if there was no possibility, Chen Fan had to run, otherwise it would be disrespectful to his own life.

And at the very end, there is a special situation where the danger level cannot be assessed. Chen Fan always regards this situation as a zero-sum death situation.

"Sorry, senior, I refuse."

Even if they would fall out, Chen Fan refused sternly. It was impossible for him to die.

But unexpectedly, the woman was not angry, and smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"I'm afraid, but so what? If I go in, I'll die. If I don't go in, I might still have a chance of survival."

Chen Fan said.

Hearing this, the woman's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Although Chen Fan's tone was calm, the woman could hear confidence in it.

"Interesting little fellow, in that case, I can tell you that this passage will not harm warriors below the level of the king. The emperor of ancient times has already tested this.

And since I let you in, it's not to kill you."

As the woman spoke, she waved her hand and threw something at Chen Fan.

"What's this."

Chen Fan took it subconsciously and was stunned for a moment, because the origin of his true spirit vibrated at this moment for the thing in his hand.

A fish-shaped jade pendant with golden glow.

"It is a treasure recognized by heaven and earth. It carries part of the laws of heaven and earth. As long as you carry this, you will be protected by the laws of heaven and earth, which is enough for you to pass through the passage safely."

Chen Fan's heart was throbbing, and the throbbing of his true spirit origin indicated that what the woman said might be right. This stone did contain the laws of heaven and earth, otherwise the true spirit origin would not have been able to send out any response.

"Damn it, let's bet!"

Chen Fan made up his mind, now that things have come to this, if he doesn't give it a try, not only will the woman not hesitate to do it, but his curiosity will not be satisfied either.

Besides, with so many preparations, we will not be completely defenseless even if we encounter any danger.

The practice of a warrior is all about moving forward courageously. It is understandable to make some concessions, but if one keeps making concessions and stands still, his sharpness will be lost, and he will probably stop there in the future.

Having made the decision in his mind, Chen Fan was not a hesitant person. He took a step forward and entered the passage.

"This is my Xuanhou, little guy, you remember this."

At the last moment of entering the passage, Chen Fan vaguely heard these words, but he didn't feel surprised because he had already had a premonition.

In the entire True Spirit Continent, not to mention the True Spirit World, there are not many queens who can reach above the high-level kings, and each has their own characteristics.

Although Chen Fan had never seen her, he had heard of her and could guess a little. By using the process of elimination, there were naturally only a few possible identities for the woman.

Chen Fan is now facing a vast, silver-white space with no end in sight.

"Is this the cross-border passage? How magical!"

Chen Fan sighed and looked back. Behind him was a white vortex, exactly the same as the one on the Black Sea.

"But where is the other world?"

With this thought in mind, Chen Fan looked forward. This look made him break out in a cold sweat in an instant.

At the end of my sight, in the silver-white space, there was a terrifying giant beast lurking. The beast was so huge that it was difficult to see its boundaries at a glance. It was estimated to be at least ten miles in size.

What’s more important is that there are not just one behemoth, but thousands of them!

Thousands of terrifying monsters are distributed in the silver-white space nearby, which makes people feel terrified.

After forcing his eyes away from the giant beasts, Chen Fan remembered the purpose of this trip and began to look for a passage.

Fortunately, the passage was not hidden very well. Right in front of Chen Fan was also a silver-white space tunnel that was unknown how long and had no end in sight.

“Such a fragile space.”

After sensing it a little, Chen Fan frowned. The space was too fragile. Even if he used a little strength, it might crush the space.

Not to mention the king, any stronger person in the realm of life and death may not be able to pass through this tunnel.

Even Chen Fan was able to walk on it without destroying the space because of his extraordinary attainments in space.

However, the fragility of space is not without its advantages. It is much easier to sense space here than in the outside world, and the speed is several times faster.

If we ignore the possible dangers, this place can be called a secret space.

But then again, except for a few secret realms, there is no secret realm that is free of danger, especially a high-risk secret realm like the space secret realm.

As his thoughts raced, Chen Fan came up with the idea of ​​practicing here for a while.
