More than half a month has passed.
Lin Xiuyuan then put away the array plate and left the cave, which caused a delay.
Part of it was for healing, but more so for cultivation, and practicing common sword techniques such as the Splitting Light Sword Technique and the Sky-Splitting Sword!
Having obtained those bottles of high-grade pills that would allow him to improve his cultivation, Lin Xiuyuan seized the time to refine them.
Besides seeking high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, this trip also harbors a certain ambition: to break through to the Great Perfection of the thirteenth level of Qi Refining!
Outside of the world, one can only rely on time to slowly hunt for low-level and rare natural treasures and high-grade pills, which is basically hopeless.
But once you reach this secret place, this place of opportunity, you might be able to break through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining.
In this way, the chances of achieving the Foundation Establishment stage are greatly increased!
Lin Xiuyuan took the jade slip and looked at it again. He found a place of opportunity, identified the direction, and then transformed into a blue rainbow, soaring into the sky.
The outer perimeter of the entire secret realm has been almost completely looted, so there is no need to explore it further.
However, the central region has not been fully explored to this day, and there are still many places with opportunities that have not yet been visited by cultivators.
Because the entire secret realm is simply too vast.
This entire secret place initially became a place where the rules of heaven and earth were incomplete for some unknown reason. All that is known is that the great demon king used his heaven-reaching and earth-shattering methods to send the entire region into nothingness, forcibly turning it into a fragmented space.
Although there are no specific measurements yet, so we don't know how big it is, based on our current understanding, this secret place is probably about half the size of a country.
Moreover, it is filled with countless demonic beasts. It is unknown whether this region was already inhabited by countless demonic beasts before it was banished into nothingness by that great demon king.
Or perhaps the demon king foresaw today's situation and therefore arranged for many demon beasts to remain in this secret place.
Most demon kings are extremely wary of their remains being obtained by others, used for refining treasures or devouring them, as these contain the essence of their demonic bodies and are easily exploited to find weaknesses and target them!
Therefore, most demon kings either kept the treasures for their own use or had large clans behind them, and then used them to refine treasures to protect their descendants.
Therefore, it is reasonable for the master of that secret place to leave behind such an arrangement.
In the beginning, this secret place was overrun by monsters. In the past thirty years, countless cultivators have entered the secret place. After a long period of fighting, they have barely managed to clean up the outer perimeter of the secret place. Now, the progress of both righteous and demonic cultivators has only spread to more than half of the central region.
Therefore, there are many opportunities.
Now that Lin Xiuyuan has the internal jade slip of the Five Elements Sect, he is full of ambition and confidence.
Soon, after traveling on his sword for most of the day, Lin Xiuyuan arrived at the vicinity of a massive mountain range.
This place is the largest mountain range in the central part of the secret realm, called the Black Cloud Mountain Range.
The ridge almost pierces the clouds, and from a distance, it looks like a natural barrier across the landscape, stretching as far as the eye can see.
The scene was dim and dark green, full of depth, with branches swaying as if rippling in waves, inexplicably giving rise to a sense of oppression.
This place is teeming with demonic beasts and is fraught with danger, so ordinary cultivators are hesitant to come here. As a result, there are many opportunities here.
Although demonic beasts in the Qi Refining stage are not very intelligent, and apart from those with extraordinary bloodlines, they are unlikely to be a match for cultivators, this is only relatively speaking. Demonic beasts are still quite powerful and have a good chance of winning, especially since there are many and densely packed demonic beasts in this place.
Because it is a secret place, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is rich, and many ancient and precious natural treasures have been devoured by demonic beasts. The Azure Leopard we encountered before was just an ordinary one; there are quite a few demonic beasts at the peak of Qi Refining.
Therefore, the Black Cloud Mountains should be one of the most dangerous places in the central region. However, Lin Xiuyuan was confident in his combat strength and was quite eager, so he came here directly to try his luck.
After taking a quick look around, Lin Xiuyuan found a small mountain path, descended his escape light, and cautiously walked up it.
He sped along, remaining vigilant, his hands hidden in his sleeves, ready to activate the talisman at any moment.
Now that the Flowing Cloud Shield is no longer protecting them, they are even more vigilant to avoid being attacked from the shadows.
In such a place, besides demonic beasts being a source of danger, other cultivators are also a danger!
The competition for opportunities among cultivators is even more brutal.
Lin Xiuyuan walked forward cautiously, heading straight up the mountain.
After reaching the mountainside, Lin Xiuyuan hadn't walked far when he encountered a demonic beast with a very strong aura, clearly reaching the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, and even at its peak!
Others might be quite tempted if they encountered one. The materials from a demon beast of this level are quite valuable; even an ordinary demon beast could yield at least two thousand spirit stones.
Lin Xiuyuan was not short of spirit stones; he only sought opportunities and had no reason to confront them. He immediately slapped a Wind Control Talisman on his body and then planned to go around them.
However, before Lin Xiuyuan could get very far around the monster, it turned around and charged straight at him.
"Are they targeting me?"
Lin Xiuyuan frowned, then simply stood with his hands behind his back, calmly waiting in place.
This place is teeming with monsters and they are densely packed. If you rashly fly through the air, you will attract the attention of even more monsters.
The speed of the Wind Control Talisman is naturally inferior to that of a demon beast. If it takes too long to shake it off, and other cultivators see it and take the opportunity to attack it, adding to the danger, it is better to just eliminate it directly.
Not long after, a black-haired ape emerged from the bushes in front of them. It had scarlet eyes and a tall body, nearly ten feet tall.
His abdominal muscles were stiff like iron armor, and his body was covered with thick, lush black hair that seemed to glow with an eerie light, making him look terrifying.
