Panluo Cave Mansion had four levels in total: one outer level and three inner levels.
The first level was the outer cave, where Hao Shuai was now. Long Xuan and his wife had already broken through the restrictions there. To enter the second level, one had to pass the Golden Tablet, then break through the ground.
