Shennongjia, located in the northwest of Jingzhou, covers an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers and is a dense virgin forest.
In the forest area, there are mountains, ravines, deep valleys and steep slopes.
The place Xiao Hua is going to is the most famous place in the Shennongjia Forest Area, called Banbi Rock.
Shennongjia is famous for the haunts of "savages". Banbiyan is the main place where the legendary "savages" haunt. The hair, feces and bamboo nests of savages can often be found in some bamboo forests in Banbiyan.
According to the map mark in the jade slip, the Shennongjia secret realm is located in a canyon in the slab rock area.
There is also a large illusory array on the outside of the canyon to prevent mortals from entering by mistake. As long as you find and pass through this illusory array, you can directly reach the entrance to the secret realm hidden in a huge spiral sinkhole.
Using his spiritual thoughts to scan around, Xiao Hua quickly discovered the illusory formation.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark and there was no one around, Xiao Hua drove the flying magic weapon through the illusion array and found the huge spiral sinkhole very smoothly.
This sinkhole is a thousand meters in diameter and feels like a huge funnel.
The sinkhole is surrounded by dense vegetation. The sinkhole is so densely foggy that you can't see the bottom at a glance. There is only a path just big enough for one person to pass along the sinkhole wall.
Because he was worried that there might be danger in the thick fog, Xiao Hua did not dare to fly directly in with the flying magic weapon, and chose to walk down the winding path.
After walking for about a cup of tea, Xiao Hua found a cave on the mountain wall on the left side of the path.
This cave is not deep, just like a natural stone chamber with nothing inside.
But on the wall facing the entrance, there is a gray and slowly rotating sealed door two to three meters in diameter.
"This should be the entrance to the secret realm."
Xiao Hua did not hesitate, lowered his head and walked into the sealed door.
But just listen to "bang, oops, hiss...".
Xiao Hua's head hit the mountain wall, and he could not enter this sealed door.
"What's going on? Did I look in the wrong place?".
While Xiao Hua touched his forehead, he took out the jade slip that recorded the mission and looked at it carefully.
At this moment, the sealed door flashed with white light and "buzzed", and three young men in strange clothes walked out of it.
"Oh, how come you...".
These three people were shocked by Xiao Hua.
They didn't expect there would be someone outside the door. They were about to get angry, but found out that Xiao Hua was in the Golden Core stage and immediately changed their tune.
"See you, I've met my senior."
These three people are only at the tenth level of Qi refining stage.
Xiao Hua was also startled. Fortunately, those people were frightened and screamed first, otherwise he would have screamed.
"who are you?".
Xiao Hua asked.
"Senior, we are disciples of the Meishan Wawu Sect. Dare I ask, are you the disciples who are here to enter the secret realm for trials?"
One of the older three people asked.
"Yes, have you seen other disciples inside?"
Xiao Hua blushed and answered smoothly.
However, he now knew that he had really found the wrong place. This was only the first level of the Shennongjia Secret Realm. Only those who had cultivated during the Qi Refining Period could enter. He had to go to the third level.
"Senior, we went to the secret realm to collect materials on orders from the sect, and we didn't see anyone else."
"Didn't you see it? Well, okay, since you didn't see it, you can go."
Xiao Hua himself wanted to leave.
"May I ask what sect your senior belongs to? Does your disciple need our help inside?".
This disciple of the Wawu Sect was very enthusiastic for some unknown reason.
"Help? No, wait a minute. Since you just came out of it, why don't I test you? How much do you know about the Shennongjia Secret Realm? What's the difference between the second, third, fourth and fifth floors?"
Xiao Hua had an idea and suddenly felt that he should first understand the situation of the secret realm from these people.
"Returning to seniors, we don't know much about the situation in the secret realm. The elders in the sect only told us that this is a treasured land for cultivating monsters and beasts that has existed since ancient times in our Little Lingtian."
"The spiritual birds and beasts inside are all monsters that have opened their spiritual intelligence and can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on their own for cultivation."
This slightly older Wawu Sect disciple answered immediately as if he was trying to take credit.
It's no wonder that Xiao Hua is a senior in the Golden Core stage. If he is happy and gives him something casually, he will make a fortune.
"Well, not bad, what else is there?".
Xiao Hua asked next.
"There are five levels in the Shennongjia Secret Realm. The training environment of each level corresponds to the level of the monsters inside:
"The first, second and third floors are equivalent to the Qi refining stage, foundation building stage and golden elixir stage of our human monks"
"The fourth level is no longer a monster, but a demon cultivator that has reached the eighth level and can transform into a human being. The fifth level is the place where the demon cultivators in this world can transform into gods and ascend."
"And more and more".
Another Wawu Sect disciple interjected.
"The fourth and fifth floors of the secret realm have been sealed by ancient monks. We human monks cannot enter from the outside. In fact, only the first three floors of the Shennongjia secret realm are accessible."
"Yes, my junior brother is right. The fourth and fifth levels of the secret realm have been sealed by ancient cultivators. No matter where the demon cultivators in this world practiced before,"
"Once you advance and transform, you will be transported to the fourth level here to continue practicing, and then on the fifth level you will survive the catastrophe of ascension and ascend to the upper world. This is also the reason why our little Lingtian does not have demon cultivators."
The older disciple added another sentence, but glared at the disciple who was trying to steal the words.
Xiao Hua couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
The fourth and fifth levels of the secret realm are the places where demon cultivators in this world transform and ascend through tribulations, and are sealed and bounded by ancient cultivators. The mission jade slips did not mention it.
It seems that the information on this mission jade slip is incomplete.
"Well, that's right. The fourth and fifth floors have been sealed by ancient cultivators and we human monks cannot enter. Then do you know whether demon cultivators and demon cultivators can enter?"
Xiao Hua pretended that he already knew and asked again.
"The demon cultivator and the demon cultivator? This..., I don't know about the demon cultivator, but once the demon cultivator in this world transforms, he will be directly transported to the fourth floor here. How can he still be outside?"
"Even if it is true, they can't get out even if they go in. Does it make any difference whether they can get in or not?"
This Wawu Sect disciple scratched his head, a little curious as to why Xiao Hua would ask such a mindless question.
"Well, that's a good answer. Actually, I just wanted to test you. It seems that you know a lot. Well, that's good, that's good."
Xiao Hua continued to pretend. Although he asked a mentally retarded question, he gained a lot.
At least he knows why there are no demon cultivators in this world.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that those ancient monks had already used barriers to seal all the demon cultivators in this world. This was a good way to reduce the conflict between human cultivators and demon cultivators.
"Seniors have won the prize, but we only know a little bit about it."
"It is said that nine out of ten of the demonic beast materials and commonly used elixirs required for cultivation in this world come from the Shennongjia Secret Realm."
"In addition to the junior disciples who come here to fight monsters for trials, you can often see monks who are in the foundation building stage or the same golden elixir stage as their predecessors."
This Wawu Sect disciple added, it seems that he really wants to get some benefits from Xiao Hua.
"Well, not bad, it seems that the Wawu Sect is indeed worthy of its reputation."
"You only know so much during your Qi refining period, okay, okay, it's okay, you can go."
Xiao Hua had nothing more to learn and waved his hand to signal the others to leave.
