Chen Shen didn't know that since the second level of the Xiantian Secret Treasure was opened, nine out of ten inner sect elders of the Beast Refining Sect had gone into retreat in the "Place of Time Grinding".
The spiritual stones, mysterious pills and other resources they obtained from the first level of the innate secrets were all spent in the Land of Time.
If not for this, the cultivation level of the elders of the three halls would not have improved to this level in a year and a half...
"That's all. At least the things in these space mysterious rings can be put together to cover the cost of purchasing those two special tokens."
After Chen Shen comforted himself, he set out on the journey again: "Second level of the innate secret, brother is here!"
…
In the innate secret, there is no sun or moon, and I don’t know what day and night are.
To the northwest of the first level of the secret store, at the very end, there is a huge basin.
Before Master Zhu Hongyu died, this place was originally a lake with some inconspicuous smelly fish and rotten shrimps——
In fact, the lake, the fish and the shrimps are all the scenery transformed by the old woman using the magic array.
But now, the master is dead.
The other formations still remain, but this phantom formation using the power of her own essence and blood as the formation's eye has revealed its true appearance.
The lake water, which was not considered clear but was by no means turbid, no longer exists.
A huge depression with a length of more than a thousand feet and a depth of a hundred feet was revealed.
At the bottom of the center of the huge pit, there is a hole that can accommodate several people jumping into it. The bottom can't be seen at a glance.
This cave entrance leads to the second level of the innate secret.
Before his death, Master Tai Zhu Hongyu deliberately used his own essence and blood as a formation eye.
According to the old woman's original plan, the essence and blood are the eyes of the formation. Even across thousands of mountains and rivers, she can control the illusion formation at any time to confuse the enemy, making it difficult for them to find the entrance to the second floor of the secret realm.
Because of this, Chijue Liantian was so sure before: as long as the master is still there, the second level of the innate secret will never be exposed to the sight of intruders.
At least at the level of a spiritual sect, it would be extremely difficult to find someone whose profound formation attainments are comparable to those of Zhu Hongyu.
But this old guy never expected that Zhu Hongyu would die like this, and the phantom formation with her own essence and blood as the eye would also dissipate...
Going down the hole in the depression, at an unknown depth, there is an underground jungle at the end.
The jungle is secluded and the vegetation is lush.
The spiritual essence contained in the surrounding air is three to four times richer than the first layer of the innate secret treasure. It is truly a holy land for cultivation!
Not even the Qingyun Sect's Qingyun City or the Beast Refining Sect's Ten Thousand Beasts City can compare with it.
This is the second level of the innate secret.
Although the sun and moon are not visible here, you can see one or even several luminous plants in the dense forest and grassland at a distance of seven or eight steps.
There are so many types of them that the vast and boundless crypt is illuminated with colorful colors, as if you are surrounded by starlight.
Therefore, the disciples of the Beast Refining Sect gave this place a very appropriate name: Starlight Domain.
Now, in the Starlight Realm, millions of Beast Refining Sect disciples and elders are facing a difficult choice: should they leave or stay?
"You all heard the order issued by Elder Du through the sound transmission array, right?"
An old man in brocade clothes paced back and forth in front of a group of disciples with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he said: "Then don't be stunned. I will give you a quarter of an hour to clean up. Then immediately follow me to the nearest teleportation point and rush back to the sect."
Door."
"Ah? Really, do you really want to go back?"
A disciple wielding a special dragon bone hoe frowned, his eyes full of reluctance: "Elder Yu, you have also seen that we have been cultivating this mine field for more than 170 days, and now it is fast.
We have drilled through the mine and the harvest is imminent, but you let us go? This..."
"That's right, Elder Yu, as long as we dig for five more days...oh no, three days, in just three days, we can harvest a large amount of middle-grade spiritual stones!"
"If you're lucky, you can even pry out hundreds of kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones. Wouldn't it be a pity to give up halfway now?"
"Isn't that right? Elder Yu is also very aware of the weirdness of the second level of the Innate Secret!"
"In this area, broken trees that have been hacked by swords can regenerate within a few days; flowers and plants that have been poisoned by fire can take on new life overnight. Even the earth is like this!"
"Therefore, once the work of cultivating the mine fields with withered grass begins, it must not stop. Otherwise, the strange power that comes from nowhere will soon regenerate extremely thick rock formations."
"Everyone has been busy for more than 170 days. Not to mention, you can't even make back the Qi-rejuvenating pills you swallowed in order to continue to mine mineral deposits!"
…
In the beginning, the disciples were reluctant to part with the "dividends" they were about to receive, and they offered advice full of pain.
Later, even the deputy captain of this "Taobao Team", Niu Meng, who was in the Xuanhuang Realm, secretly nodded and quietly said: "As the saying goes: military orders from abroad will not be tolerated!"
"Disciples and outer elders may not know this, but Elder Yu, you and I both know very well that in the past six months, the Supreme Leader has been busy protecting Pan Xu, who is known as the chosen son of God, and has no idea about the situation in the innate secret storehouse.
ah."
"To be disrespectful, he is thousands of miles away, and he made us give up just because of his own thoughts. Isn't this a blind command?"
"In my opinion, it doesn't matter if we delay going back for three to five days. After all, the second level of this innate secret is not peaceful, and the secret realm monsters are very difficult to deal with..."
"Even if the superiors ask us, we can just say that we were attacked by monsters and had to fight, which delayed our trip."
The elder surnamed Yu frowned slightly when he heard this: "But what Du Lei said there will be chaos here. If you leave for several days late, I'm worried..."
Niu Meng waved his hand freely: "Hi! Elder, you are worrying too much."
"The masters responsible for guarding the Luotiao Mountains are like clouds and rain; there are even more mysterious formation traps on the first level of the innate secrets."
"What kind of character do you think is powerful enough to break into the second level of the secret realm? Don't forget, there is an illusion array set up by the Grand Master himself at the entrance!"
The old man hesitated again and again, and finally stopped insisting: "Okay, I'll follow what you say! However, everyone must have the same voice."
…
Similar scenes are quite common among the millions of disciples and elders.
They are either in retreat, hunting animals, or exploring, picking some rare materials, etc.
All in all, most people have reasons why they cannot transfer immediately.
However, Du Lei followed the instructions of the Supreme Leader and in order to avoid causing panic, she did not disclose the bad news that happened some time ago in detail.
Therefore, the number of people from the Beast Refining Sect who finally obeyed the order and evacuated the Xiantian Hidden in the first place was less than 30% of the total number.
At some point——
"Zira, Zira!"
A body wrapped in purple thunder fell gracefully from the cave corridor...
