As a Fourteenth Order Top-grade secret realm, the Fire Spirit Secret Realm was astonishingly vast, far exceeding the planes possessed by Immortal Realm cultivators themselves.
Compared to planes, secret realms developed in a distorted fashion. This distortion caused immense surges in both power and size. Sometimes, casting aside all restraint truly could bring growth in strength.
At the same time, vast quantities of Immortal Profound Crystals and Status Spiritual Materials would be born within secret realms.
These were conditions a cultivator's own plane did not possess. Or rather, the resources of the two were simply not comparable.
If secret realms were heaven-defying geniuses, then planes were merely ordinary people.
Looking at it this way, cultivators might as well refine a secret realm of the same order.
But the Heavenly Dao within secret realms was crazed. Cultivators of the same realm simply could not withstand such madness. Even cultivators more than one major realm higher would be constantly affected if they forcibly refined one.
In other words, even Late Immortal Realm cultivators, or even Peak Immortal Realm cultivators, would suffer endless future troubles and lose more than they gained by refining a Fourteenth Order Low-grade secret realm.
Only Sovereign Realm experts could attempt to forcibly refine a Fourteenth Order secret realm. Yet to Sovereign Realm cultivators, a Fourteenth Order secret realm could not improve their combat strength at all.
Moreover, they would occasionally be harassed by the demonic qi within the secret realm, making it even less worth refining.
Could Origin Demons try refining secret realms, then? That would not work either. Once the demonic qi within an Origin Demon became overloaded, they would develop toward becoming Demonic Beasts, and their Spiritual Wisdom would likewise vanish.
What use was power without even Spiritual Wisdom?
