However, faced with both the righteous and the demonic forces, and confronted by two behemoths, they naturally had to make some compromises.

Most of these fragmented spaces are relatively ordinary, with incomplete rules and ordinary spiritual energy. They can only be used to cultivate spiritual herbs and plants in ordinary secret realms, and are basically controlled by various sects and factions.

These are not taken seriously by either the righteous or the demonic factions; the most important are the three great secret realms!

With so many fragmented spaces in this place, even if most of them are relatively ordinary, the sheer number means that a few high-level and top-tier fragmented spaces will naturally emerge.

There are three top-tier fragmented spaces in total!

Hengyang Secret Realm is one of them!

It can be called a top-tier fragmented space because it contains top-grade spiritual veins and relatively complete Heavenly Dao rules, making it a top-tier cultivation holy land.

However, naturally, when placed before a powerful force, it becomes a sacred place for cultivating rare and precious natural treasures!

With the aid of various array formations and restrictions, and in conjunction with the methods of spirit plant masters, the growth of rare and precious materials can be accelerated several times over with ease!

Such top-tier fragmented spaces can nurture all sorts of rare and precious natural treasures, such as the Heavenly Treasure Leaf for refining high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, the main ingredient for refining high-grade Jade Marrow Pills in the Purple Mansion stage, and the main ingredient for various precious pills.

The main ingredients that Lin Xiuyuan obtained in the Demon King's Secret Realm, such as the Yellow Dragon Mushroom and the Three-Colored Lotus, which were used by the righteous and demonic forces to fight to the death and could be used to refine precious pills, are relatively ordinary in the three secret realms.

These two points alone demonstrate the high level of the secret realm and the immense benefits it contains!

Although the various forces of the Great Yue Kingdom, including rogue cultivators and spiritual masters, were united by this enormous interest, they used this to deal with both the righteous and demonic forces, thereby gaining control of various fragmented spaces.

However, the benefits contained in the three great secret realms are so enormous that even the righteous and demonic factions themselves cannot distribute them equally. The other secret realms can be ignored by both sides because they are not enough to tempt them to the point of starting a war or affecting the overall situation.

But the three secret realms are different.

It can be said that the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills and high-grade Jade Marrow Pills produced in the three secret realms, along with various precious pills, account for at least 70% of the total in the Southern Continent.

If any one power could gain complete control, a behemoth of a hegemon would likely emerge, like the Great Qian Dynasty in the Central Plains, ruling this land.

Such enormous profits are enough to make both the righteous and the demonic forces take drastic measures.

Moreover, even within Dayue, there were some unequal distributions of such benefits, let alone when faced with the tough stances of both the righteous and demonic factions, ultimately leading to a compromise.

The three secret realms serve as sacred grounds for cultivating spiritual herbs. Each secret realm opens every five hundred years during the Sword Trial Tournament, and all three parties can send people in to seize opportunities!

Now, the opening of Hengyang Secret Realm has been brought forward by more than a hundred years...
