Overthrow the Cultivation Civilization
Chapter 27 The Secret Realm of Southern Forest
It’s the first of the month again, the day when the outer elders preach.
Wang Qiye came early today. When he arrived at the "Xiuyi Pavilion", there were not many people. The main reason was that Wang Qiye wanted to try his hand at bamboo. He took a deep breath, slammed his feet, and stood up. He stepped on the branches of the black iron bamboo. Unexpectedly, he broke the branches and fell down. Fortunately, his feet landed on the ground. Wang Qiye looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this place. He breathed a sigh of relief and found an empty space with no one there. He meditated and closed his eyes to relax.
"Greetings to Elder Hai!"
As Ouyang Qingfeng was the first to shout, all the disciples perked up.
"Greetings to Elder Hai!"
Elder Hai glanced at the audience calmly and said, "All disciples are polite. Please sit down. Wan Qing has begun his retreat to build his foundation. From today on, Ouyang Qingfeng will temporarily take over the position of Senior Brother."
After saying this, Elder Hai took off the wine gourd from his waist, opened the lid, and after taking a sip of the wine, his wine-red nose became even redder.
"Today, let's talk about the secret realm."
The secret realm is a training place built by ancient immortals for monks. At the beginning, it was just to find their own successors. There are several levels. If you can pass them, you will be rich. If you can't pass them, you will become a handful of loess in the secret realm. This is the original fate of immortals. Some great people thought this was a good idea, so they started looking for a stable space gap and used their magical powers to connect the two realms. They transplanted some flowers and plants, seedlings of spiritual trees and flowers to decorate the environment, and put a few magic weapons to compete. Unexpectedly, after thousands of years, the value of these flowers and plants has far exceeded that of the magic weapon, which has also attracted all parties to fight and fight. It is not an exaggeration to say that the fight was so fierce that the sky was dark. Finally, the space channel of this secret realm collapsed, and the people from all sides became anxious and rushed to use their various abilities to pass through the collapsed space channel. Everyone who came out was terrified. Not only were those who didn't have time to escape from the secret realm trapped inside, but this secret realm has not been found until now.
Later, another powerful person decided to develop a new secret realm. This time, there were targeted arrangements for those who entered. Anyone who exceeded the carrying limit of this secret realm was killed in the secret realm without exception. This secret realm killing incident had a far-reaching impact on the secret realms of later generations. In the current secret realm, the carrying limit is the first rule.
We are talking about what is the "carrying capacity limit"
Take the "Nanlin Secret Realm" opened next month as an example. The "carrying limit" of the Nanlin Secret Realm is the Qi Refining Stage. For cultivators who exert strength exceeding the thirteenth level of Qi Refining in the Nanlin Secret Realm, their weapons, spiritual tools, and formations will be killed by the spirit of the tool. If the spirit of the tool is destroyed or subdued, or if the spirit of the tool cannot suppress it, it will trigger the self-destruction of the Nanlin Secret Realm. You will not have time to open the space channel, and you will be reduced to ashes along with the Nanlin Secret Realm. Because the current secret realm self-destruction system is too mature, cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage no longer dare to take chances and dare to take risks alone.
Although the "carrying capacity limit" of the Nanlin Secret Realm is the Qi Refining Stage, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage can also enter. As long as they do not exert strength exceeding the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, they will not die.
All secret realms emphasize small-scale battles. Some secret realms even have a limit on the number of people. If the number is exceeded, it will cause dissatisfaction among the weapon spirits. The weapon spirits will randomly kill anyone who enters the secret realm until half of the number of people are reduced.
There are also secret realms that somehow give birth to native secret realm spirit beasts. These spirit beasts, because they are loved by the spirits of the artifacts, can exert strength beyond their carrying limit and survive alone. This is the second rule of the secret realm.
"Then Elder Hai, this native can break through the upper limit of his bearing capacity. Doesn't that mean his cultivation is getting higher and higher, and he will finally ascend to the heavens and transcend the tribulation in the secret realm?"
Well, this situation has also happened. For this situation, all the major sects now have some countermeasures. If you can't deal with it, you can only give up this secret realm. In history, the connecting channel has only been destroyed five times due to the natives being too strong. So the secret realm later also added a third rule: before the natives' strength exceeds that of the weapon spirit, they either voluntarily leave the secret realm or are killed by the weapon spirit.
Everyone underground nodded.
These are not the main causes of the massive death of monks who entered the secret realm. The real culprit is the human heart!
Countless people have drawn their swords for elixirs and treasures, so there is the fourth rule of the secret realm: in the secret realm, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. Once you leave the secret realm, you are not allowed to pick grudges.
Hiss, the disciples below didn't even dare to breathe, this secret realm was truly terrifying.
Elder Hai raised the gourd again and took a sip.
Although the secret realm is dangerous, it also offers great opportunities. There is a magical flower every three steps, a magical herb every five steps, and there must be a magical treasure within a mile.
Elder Hai saw that all the disciples under the pavilion had golden lights in their eyes. He drank a sip with pride, his red nose slightly twitching, and gave a slap in the face:
Opportunities and dangers coexist. Since our sect organized its disciples to explore the secret realm, every time ten people entered, there has never been a precedent where all members came out intact. There were even a few times when no one came out of the secret realm.
Hiss, there was another burst of exclamations from the audience.
When Elder Hai saw that the effect had been achieved, he smiled triumphantly again, put the gourd to his mouth and took a big gulp.
"Those who came out of the secret realm have assets worth at least a thousand spirit stones, and at most, a hundred thousand spirit stones."
A golden light appeared from the audience again.
"You can either live like a reptile on the edge of the secret realm, where no one cares about you. When the time comes and the door to the secret realm opens, you can take out the talisman and escape. Or you can fight in the secret realm, compete with others, and take the top spot."
Elder Hai's nose twitched again and he took a big sip.
"You all understand!!!"
The last few words were like a thunderclap ringing in the ears, shaking people's blood and qi, and several people even fell off the bamboo. Wang Qiye was also dizzy and dazed, so he quickly practiced qigong to regulate his breathing and calm the surging spiritual energy.
"Next month, the Nanlin Secret Realm will be opened. This is a small to medium-sized secret realm with a history of tens of thousands of years. It can be said to be an ancient secret realm. It has a capacity limit of Qi Refining Stage. We will set off in twenty days. Does any disciple of our peak dare to go there?"
Most of the people in the audience were still immersed in the blood storm just now, and no one responded at the moment. After three breaths, a beautiful figure stood up.
"Master Hai, I am willing to go!"
"Gu Ruoxi, you should think carefully about the secret realm. It's not too late to regret now!"
"Reporting to Elder Hai, I have made up my mind!"
Gu Ruoxi's face showed no sadness or joy, and her voice was sonorous and powerful.
"Great!!! It is a cause for celebration that Qingzhu Peak has such a great man!!!"
Elder Hai held the gourd in his hand, clasped his fists and faced the top of the mountain, his face full of admiration.
Then he said to Gu Ruoxi with a pleasant expression: "Sit down. In this case, I will tell you about the secret realm of Nanlin."
"Thank you, Elder Hai."
Elder Hai took out a scroll from his left sleeve and threw it into the air, and the two ends slowly unfolded.
This Nanlin Secret Realm is only the size of a small county town, and is named for its suitability for the growth of trees. It is said to be dangerous because there are now three native spirit beasts in this secret realm, one at the peak of foundation building, one in the middle of foundation building, and one just building a foundation. It is also because of the presence of native spirit beasts that every time a cultivator enters this Nanlin Secret Realm, they are not too strong, and they can make a lot of money by picking up leaks on the periphery. If you encounter a powerful and terrifying opponent, you only need to lead him to this native territory, and the opponent will be cautious and will definitely let you go.
This is hell for the strong and paradise for the weak. Gu Ruoxi, it is very appropriate for you to choose this secret realm.
After hearing this, several disciples in the audience felt extremely regretful and one of them stood up immediately.
"My Lord, I wonder if I still have a chance if I sign up now?"
"No, people like you who are hesitant will only be cannon fodder if you go in! It's better for you to practice peacefully in the mountains!"
Elder Hai's nose was red from the wine, and he tilted it with disdain on his face. He picked up his gourd and took a sip of the wine.
"The strongest spiritual beast in the Nanlin Secret Realm is called the Red Flame Snake. It lives in a forest of fire phoenix trees and also guards the most valuable spiritual treasure in this secret realm, the seeds of the fire phoenix tree, the "Red Flame Tonglu", which is a spiritual treasure that all Yuanying period cultivators are fighting for. Then there is the mid-stage foundation-building spiritual beast that occupies the center of the secret realm, the Mountain-Eating Gold Beast. This beast likes to eat the "gold and silver ingots" in the mountains, and this beast has the most gentle personality. That's right, where there are "gold and silver ingots", there are its companion plants, the Purgatory Fire Date Tree. This beast does not eat the spiritual fruit "Purgatory Fire Date", which is really a great gift from heaven, but prefers to roll around in the Fire Date Forest. Every time a cultivator goes to pick the "Purgatory Fire Date", it thinks that the other party wants to rob its "gold and silver ingots" and kills the other party. This last spiritual beast is a fire toad that was discovered when the secret realm was opened last time. The Nanlin Secret Realm is opened once every ten years. This fire toad guards a hot swamp, in which grows the magical medicine "Seven Hole White Lotus Root". This lotus root matures once every hundred years, and the ones that matured before that have been dug up by people. This secret place has not been visited by people, and there are natives guarding it, so it is not cost-effective to venture into this area. "
Elder Hai pointed at the big toad on the map and said, then he picked up the gourd, drank a few sips of the wine inside, and burped.
Apart from these three treasured places, if you walk around the other corners, you will come out with a net worth of at least a thousand spirit stones.
Gu Ruoxi listened very carefully and kept some key points in mind.
"Gu Ruoxi, do you have any questions?"
"I wonder how many people the sect plans to send into that secret realm this time?"
"This time the sect plans to send ten people, one from each of the ten peaks. However, the sect feels that this exploration is mainly about surviving, so they plan to change the ratio of inner and outer sect disciples to participate in the expedition. This time, all outer sect disciples will participate."
"I wonder if there is an upper limit on the number of people in this Nanlin Secret Realm?"
"There is no limit on the number of people, but this secret realm is not very big. The more people enter, the more crowded it becomes. So the Five Sects Alliance and the Four Demon Sects have agreed to allow 500 people to enter, with each side contributing half."
"Then the devil will also enter?"
"That's right. You must know that after entering that secret realm, you must not rely on luck. Apart from your fellow disciples, there are also many hypocrites among those who appear to be decent!!!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ruoxi nodded secretly. Without the magical treasure, two stranger disciples from different sects could still work together peacefully to resist the evil sect. But once they encountered a valuable treasure that made people excited, who would be humble and courteous to you?
"I wonder which sects we righteous people have gone to?"
"Five sects, four academies, one mountain and one water, ten people from each of the three furnaces in the first floor, and the remaining one hundred people are made up of heroes of the green forest and independent cultivators."
"How many days will this secret realm be open?"
"From the moment the secret realm is opened, ten days later, if you sense the fluctuations of the guide talisman, you can immediately activate it and leave the secret realm. If you don't return after half a day, the passage will be closed, the spirit of the weapon will come out, and you will be killed with blood."
After hearing this, Gu Ruoxi nodded secretly and quickly wrote it down. After making sure that nothing was left out, she stood up and bowed to Elder Hai.
"Thank you, Elder Hai, for clearing up my doubts today. I will definitely reward you generously when I return from the secret realm someday."
Elder Hai narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, the blessings that were snatched from the secret realm were all yours alone. If you come out of the secret realm, I will be proud of it. Don't ask for any generous reward."
"Elder Hai taught me this, I will take note of it."
"Do you still have questions?"
"We have no more questions, and we respectfully send Elder Hai off!"
After the wine-red-nosed Elder Hai left, people who were familiar with Gu Ruoxi stood up and stepped forward. Wang Qiye also wanted to send a blessing, but thinking that he was not familiar with her, he just bowed to the crowd from a distance and turned to go to the cafeteria to eat.
