Therefore, we need to wait for it to calm down, which will take about half a year before we can send it again.
Thus, even disregarding those cultivators who came out or died inside, after accumulating twenty or thirty years, the Nine Kingdoms Alliance now has approximately twenty to thirty thousand Qi Refining stage cultivators in the secret realm.
Including the demonic path, the number is estimated to be around 60,000 to 70,000.
Moreover, they are all at the late stage or perfect stage of Qi Refining!
It's actually quite terrifying to think about.
This gives you an idea of just how dangerous it was!
A place where opportunities are fiercely contested, and anyone you encounter there could be an enemy!
Aside from the infighting and fighting among cultivators, there are many other dangers within the secret realm.
Don't forget, this is the cave of a great demon king in the Nascent Soul stage. To prevent his remains from being coveted and stolen, he kept many demon beasts to guard the cave.
Although confined by the secret realm, there are no powerful demons above the Foundation Establishment stage. But one can imagine the extreme level those demon beasts would reach in the Qi Refining stage within such a secret realm.
It is said that most of the cultivators who entered the secret realm died at the hands of demonic beasts.
It's no exaggeration to describe it as fraught with danger.
It was a place where anyone would have a slim chance of survival.
For a moment, Lin Xiuyuan's expression turned slightly serious.
But soon, a resolute look appeared in his eyes.
Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire in front of us, we must brave them and forge a path to the upper realm!
Otherwise, it's just a matter of dying sooner or later!
After everyone had arrived, it took less than fifteen minutes.
From the black palace on the other side, an old man with white hair and a crane-like face emerged. He wore a blue Taoist robe with blue and white patterns on his chest, which intertwined to form a mysterious wood pattern.
Countless branches sprouted from the black wood, gradually growing into a large tree, like withered wood coming back to life. Looking at it, one felt a strange sense of mystery welling up within.
He must be a Golden Elixir True Person of the Ganmu Sect.
The spiritual energy emanating from him was incredibly powerful, making everyone feel as if they were facing the might of heaven. They all lowered their heads, cupped their hands in greeting, and showed respect.
"The secret realm is a place where you face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. It's not too late to leave now."
The white-haired, crane-faced old man spoke softly, yet his words reached the ears of every cultivator present with remarkable clarity.
It was quite a shock, and for some reason, most of my attention was drawn to that sentence.
It seems that only now are they seriously considering the dangers involved.
Immediately, many people showed hesitation.
Some people even turned pale and couldn't help but step back from the crowd, bow, and then fly away on their swords.
There were probably twenty or thirty cultivators in total.
Lin Xiuyuan stood in the crowd, quietly looking at the Golden Core cultivator. The determination in his eyes remained unchanged. He had already thought about this trip many times, and his mind was extremely firm.
After a moment, seeing that only a few people had left, the white-haired, crane-faced Golden Core cultivator seemed to nod in satisfaction, and then waved his hand.
In an instant, streaks of light shot out continuously, yet they seemed to possess great sentience, falling in front of each person on their own.
Everyone reached out to grab it, and the first thing they touched was icy cold. When the light faded, a jade tablet was revealed, covered with densely packed runes and containing powerful restrictive energy.
After examining it for a while, Lin Xiuyuan put it into his Qiankun bag.
As Huang Geng just explained, this is a teleportation token, used to leave the secret realm, and it is almost the only way to leave the secret realm.
If the surrounding environment is stable, one can crush the token to connect with the teleportation array and return to this mountaintop.
After doing all this, the Golden Core cultivator from the Ganmu Sect turned around, walked to the stone platform, and took out a series of crystal-clear spirit stones, each a different color and exuding a rich, pure aura.
Sure enough, they were all top-grade spirit stones.
There were hundreds of them, falling onto the stone platform.
Under the powerful divine sense of the Golden Core cultivator, each of the high-grade spirit stones instantly released pure spiritual energy, which flowed into the stone platform.
The stone platform suddenly erupted with runes, autonomously orbiting the spirit stone and absorbing its pure spiritual energy.
Seeing that the runes had been activated, the Golden Core cultivator from the Ganmu Sect withdrew his divine sense, then formed hand seals and cast a series of incantations onto the stone platform.
The immense restrictive power within the stone platform suddenly surged forth, generating countless tiny and intricate runes that continuously flowed towards the mystical space above the stone platform.
In an instant, tiny and intricate runes intertwined and connected, forming countless chains that poured into the invisible space above.
In an instant, the several spatial rifts that had been constantly shifting between existence and non-existence suddenly stabilized. As runes poured in, they seemed to be stretched open, gradually expanding, and the spatial rifts slowly merged together.
Ultimately, it formed the shape of a passageway entrance that was at least ten feet in size.
Just looking at it, it was as deep as an abyss, empty and dark, sending chills down one's spine.
At this moment, the Golden Core cultivator from the Ganmu Sect shouted, "If we don't go now, when will we?"
Everyone's expressions changed, but without much hesitation, the cultivators ahead, their hearts pounding, took to their swords and slowly headed towards the dark and deep passage.
Following behind, the cultivators filed in one after another, entering the spatial passage...
