Li Yan didn't think that the information in the memory of the gray-haired old man he happened to catch was false. That was too ridiculous.
And of course the information he got was more than that. Why did the black-robed golden elixir monks come to capture him? What are the so-called foreign "evil spirit monks"?
These answers can also be found in the memory of the gray-haired old man.
This matter starts with the first batch of monks who entered this place. At the beginning of this secret realm, there were no monks or monsters. At first, only some beasts with undeveloped intelligence were taken in.
But things always have to come first. I don’t know how many thousands of years ago, suddenly there was a sect with only more than 60 monks. When passing by the "Sky Demon Grassland", they strayed into an illusory restriction.
.??.
At that time, they had just landed on a hilly grassland to rest. The next moment, they were involved in an inexplicable space that made them extremely frightened.
The suction force was so strong that even the strongest cultivator of the God Transformation could not resist despite all his efforts.
After the initial nervousness, they finally discovered to their surprise that none of them had any accidents.
Although everyone's face was pale and their hearts were still frightened, they appeared in a strange place intact, and everything in front of them was no longer the hilly grassland before.
This made them feel happy, but at the same time, they were also vigilant in every possible way.
After a brief inspection, they discovered that this place was extremely strange. Their spiritual consciousness was firmly imprisoned in their bodies. Only monks above Nascent Soul could release it within a distance of about one to two inches with full exertion.
This time, they suddenly became blind and deaf, which made everyone feel weak and trembling with fear.
They had long been accustomed to detecting everything with their spiritual consciousness. After the initial panic, they could only gather together and start to jointly explore the surrounding situation, and did not dare to separate at will.
As they continued to explore, what finally surprised these monks was that after exploring tens of thousands of miles around, they only found some dumb beasts and no other immortal cultivators at all.
When they discovered that there were wild beasts here, they felt a little relieved. This meant that this place was not a desert, at least there were still living things.
Moreover, some of them even believe that this place should still be in the "Sky Demon Grassland", and they may have mistakenly entered an ancient formation restriction before being teleported to another area.
After finding the exit at the back, they can try to get out. The spiritual consciousness cannot be released here, so they have no sense of security at all.
Their sect is called "Soul-Suppressing Palace", and it was originally a sect established for monks who ascended from the lower world. However, due to the special skills they practice, it is what others call soul cultivation.
This type of monk is the same as the Poison Cultivator. Because the skills they practice are too vicious, they often attack the most vulnerable three souls and seven souls.
This kind of attack, even if there is a protective light shield, is often ineffective. Even most magic weapons do not have much defensive effect against this. Often, one encounter will make people either dead or disabled.
Therefore, they are feared by other monks, but they are also a sect that other monks are eager to get information about. Once they can get the soul
The cultivation method you cultivate will make your sect even more powerful.
Even most of the weak sect forces will change the way of cultivation and change the destiny of the entire sect.
From the perspective of a normal sect, this is actually an opportunity for the sect to grow and prosper, and to recruit more disciples.
But for the Soul Cultivation Sect, it is the last thing they want to see.
Of course, there is more than just their sect in soul cultivation in the fairy world, but those sects have profound foundations and are extremely hidden, making it difficult to show off.
The Soul-Suppressing Palace was established by monks who ascended from the lower world. They have long known how difficult it is for soul cultivators to survive, so they have always concealed the sect's background for fear of others knowing.
But there is no airtight wall in the world. In the end, someone else discovered it and tracked the sect's location, and the other party was a third-rate sect.
Therefore, after hiding in the Soul Soul Palace for hundreds of years, it was difficult to cultivate nearly a hundred disciples, and finally had to fight to the death with the enemy.
Since the other party knew that they were soul cultivators, of course they were fully prepared when they came. Three God Transformation cultivators and six Nascent Soul cultivators came, but in the end all of them were killed on the spot.
Zhenhun Palace itself also lost four Nascent Soul elders, leaving only more than sixty people, among whom the sect leader and two elders have the highest cultivation level.
The two elders are both strong men in the Nascent Soul Realm, and the sect leader is the monk who ascended from the lower realm and is a monk in the late stage of divine transformation.
It was he who single-handedly killed three of the opponent's god-transformation monks, including two late-stage god-transformation monks who were at the same level as him. They were extremely powerful.
But he himself was seriously injured in the battle!
After that, he immediately led the dozens of remaining disciples to abandon the location of the sect and fled far away.
However, things happened in a hurry. The sect and the two elders had no plan, and they didn't know where they were going to stay. They could only escape on the road and start discussing where to go.
In the end, the three people decided to find a very remote place to re-establish the sect, so they thought of the direction due west of the "Northern Shepherd Realm".
There is a dangerous desert area there, where the living conditions are extremely harsh and dangerous. It is usually inaccessible to people.
If you can settle down there, it doesn't matter if your sect's cultivation is a little more difficult, after all, you'll have less to deal with outsiders.
But if they want to get there, they must pass diagonally through a section of the "Sky Demon Grassland" that is equally dangerous.
But at that time, the three of them had no choice.
In addition, they were only crossing a certain distance diagonally, and it was common for Soul Cultivators to fight across different levels, so I thought it would be okay to be careful.
Even when they actually entered the "Tianyao Grassland", they all had the idea of simply staying somewhere and establishing a sect, but this idea was quickly abandoned.
Although some areas only have three
Fourth-level monsters exist, but there are too many types of monsters. In addition, the "Sky Demon Grassland" is rich in cultivation resources, and monks often come and go here, so the possibility of exposure is still high.
In the end, they decided to go all the way west, but unfortunately they ended up getting involved in this secret realm.
The aura here is very good, even much richer than the aura where their sect was originally located.
But in addition to their spiritual consciousness being suppressed, they also sensed that the power of the five elements of the rules of heaven and earth here was not so smooth when switching between them.
But for them, it does not affect their cultivation, especially since they mainly focus on soul cultivation.
After searching here for half a year, they still couldn't find any exit.
Finally, after the three people discussed it, they all were injured and had been on the run for a long time, and could not recover in time.
It would be better to just take a rest here first, and then make another plan after searching for the exit.
Therefore, they later chose a place they thought was safer, set up various formation restrictions, and began to recover from their injuries.
It was not until seven years passed that all the injuries in their bodies recovered. What surprised them was that in the past seven years, no monks or monsters had ever appeared where they were.
The spiritual energy here is also very good for cultivation. After they recovered from their injuries, the three of them discussed and began to carefully explore this secret realm.
This exploration lasted for nearly a hundred years, and finally they basically understood the situation here. There were four or five extremely dangerous areas here.
Even the sect master of the Soul-Suppressing Palace, who is in the realm of gods, has no confidence that he can come out intact after entering.
In other areas, there are several places where the aura is so rich that it can even be compared to the second-rate sects in the fairy world.
Except for a few dangerous areas, the entire secret realm is only about three million miles in size. For monks in the fairy world, this space range is actually not too large.
At the same time, after about a hundred years, they could not find a way out at all.
But my understanding of this place is getting deeper and deeper. In addition to suppressing the spiritual consciousness, this place is undoubtedly a paradise for the Zhenhun Palace.
In the end, they simply chose a place with the strongest spiritual energy, re-established the sect, and named it "Di Zhen Realm".
In their opinion, when they were desperate and their future was bleak, it was the "Earth Spirit" who guided them here and gave them such a holy place where they could avoid trouble and escape from the world, hence the name "Earth Spirit".
They then started cultivating here with peace of mind. Of course, they were still looking for a way to communicate with the outside world, even if it was not to get out, but to prevent others from entering.
In this way, as time passed by year by year, these dozens of monks, both male and female, began to spread out here.
Slowly, they completely adapted to everything here, and even became attached to it. However, they were most worried that...
Even if you can enter here by mistake, what about other monks or monsters?
There is definitely a chance of being involved in this secret realm.
But what makes the monks of Zhenhun Palace helpless is that they can't find the entrance and exit here at all. Even if they stationed monks in the place where they entered for decades, they still can't find anything.
So the sect leader thought that since he and others were unable to resist when they were involved, the reason was that his cultivation was not enough and that the entrance passage was extremely concealed.
Perhaps when he reaches the Void Refining Realm or even a higher realm one day, he will be able to discover the entrance and exit here, and then he can seal it.
But in order to prevent other strange and powerful people from suddenly appearing, they also began to send people to patrol within a certain range.
Just like this, another fifty or sixty years later, during a certain inspection, they really discovered that some monsters with intelligence appeared, but these monsters were only second or third level.
They immediately captured all the monsters they saw. Although they could not search for souls, their research on souls was unmatched by other sects. They quickly made these monsters lose themselves...
From the mouths of these monsters, they learned that when they were fighting in a forest in the "Sky Demon Grassland", the space suddenly became distorted, and then they were inexplicably drawn here.
The Zhenhun Palace was alert to this, but this kind of accident still happened, so they began to look for these monsters everywhere and tried to kill them all.
And another important reason is that they want to determine the level of the strongest monster among the monsters that come in this time. It would be bad if a sixth-level monster appears.
So after some searching, fifty or sixty monsters were killed in succession, and the strongest monsters encountered were only at the fourth level.
But what also gives the monks of Zhenhun Palace a headache is that these monster beasts are naturally sensitive, and they may be able to sense life and death crises, or even the breath of strong men, from somewhere.
So after they arrived here, they had already dispersed and were looking for an exit from here.
As a result, the monks in Zhenhun Palace have no idea how many monsters have entered.
Although they have reproduced here for nearly a hundred years, their number has only increased by a dozen people. After all, it is very difficult for monks to reproduce offspring.
In such a large secret realm, it is impossible for dozens of people to search the entire area, especially here, where there is no way to use spiritual consciousness.
In the end, this incident was settled. At the same time, they did not find the entrance passage mentioned by the monster.
That passage was far away from where the monks from Zhenhun Palace entered, and they also disappeared without a trace...
And a few decades later, traces of other foreign monks appeared in the "Di Zhen Domain". This surprised the monks of Zhenhun Palace, and they could only search everywhere again.
This time, more than ten monks were found. After losing their spiritual consciousness, these monks were already panicking. However, they were still opponents of these soul cultivators and were quickly captured.
