Innate Imagery Spirit Treasures, Secret Lands, and Their Impact
In outer space, the Legion's warships had already sealed off this area, preventing any outside forces from entering.
The secret realm is not open to those with Dao Foundation Establishment, as it contains treasures for advancing to the Dao Foundation stage.
As the cultivators emerged, a variety of expressions appeared on their faces: some were disappointed, some were delighted, some were expressionless, some were worried, some were relieved, and some were frightened.
After everyone had left, the portal to the secret realm quietly closed.
The first Dao Foundation priest announced the federal policy.
"Gentlemen, you've all seen the Federation's management methods for the new type of space, so I won't go into detail."
"Those who wish to leave can depart on the Legion fleet; those who do not wish to leave will be provided with safe training rooms by the Federation to process their gains."
"But you also need to fulfill your monastic duties and record what you see and learn."
"If you wish to exchange your secret realm harvest for other resources, you are welcome to do so as well."
Soon, all the cultivators had a plan in mind. Most of them exchanged for resources, and a lot of them consumed what they had on the spot. Only a very few wanted to take the opportunity to leave this planet.
Ten days later, as the new Dao Foundation imagery soared into the sky, it immediately caused an uproar on the internet.
The attention of most of the Federation's monks was also focused on this place, and the situation inside some secret places was also recounted online by those who had experienced it firsthand.
"This secret land spans three hundred miles in size, and every resource within it is guarded by various spirits and monsters."
"They are intellectually weak, almost entirely driven by instinct, but their defensive and offensive capabilities have reached the pinnacle of Qi Refining. At least those at the peak of Qi Refining Perfection are safe. Many of us died at the hands of these monsters on this trip."
One of the monks remarked that this kind of mechanism seemed quite familiar.
"It feels a bit like fighting a guardian monster in an online game."
"Hehe, this is the real world. Every naturally born spiritual creature will attract life forms to possess and protect it."
"When I went to the Demonic Beast Star Domain before, there were some monsters that would specially cultivate spirit herbs, waiting for them to grow and be devoured."
The eyewitness continued to recount their experience.
"The three most precious spiritual objects emanate the pure, innate essence of the Dao Foundation."
"We estimate that after absorbing this spiritual object, at the very least, one can achieve Low-Grade Dao Foundation."
This kind of spiritual object is exactly what cultivators want.
"If that's the case, wouldn't it allow cultivators who are already firmly established at the Mid-Grade Dao Foundation to achieve the High-Grade Dao Foundation, and those with the potential for the High-Grade Dao Foundation level to achieve the Supreme-Grade Dao Foundation?"
Some cultivators who understood the difficulty of this place scoffed at it.
"It's not that simple. Whether these Dao Foundation images match the original understanding is another question."
"If it causes a conflict after use, not only will it fail to help with the breakthrough, but it will also kill you. Then you'll have nowhere to cry."
With these discussions, the popularity of Neijing Fudi (Inner Scene Blessing Land) quickly surged.
Countless geniuses preparing to build their Dao Foundation began to pay attention to the situation in the secret realm.
Subsequently, news spread from an unknown source that another cultivator who entered the secret realm had achieved the Dao Foundation, and at that, it was a mid-grade Dao Foundation.
This news immediately boosted the popularity of the secret location to its peak.
In a short time, earth vein detectors, talismans and magical artifacts, elixirs, and other materials beneficial for exploring secret locations were purchased in bulk.
If it weren't for our current advanced industrialization, the market price of such items would probably have been driven up immediately.
At the same time, many people focused their attention on the cultivators who entered the secret realm.
Even though the identities and whereabouts of these cultivators have been concealed, some powerful forces can still roughly pinpoint their identities based on the number of Qi Refining cultivators who disappeared for extended periods during the secret realm.
Unexpectedly, the last Qi Refining cultivator to leave the secret Earth Star sought a breakthrough in another star system, but failed.
The appearance of the Daoist image was immediately noticed, and his identity was quickly uncovered.
"He failed. Based on this person's previous experience and performance, breaking through to the Mid-Grade Dao Foundation shouldn't have been a problem. I didn't expect him to fail. It seems he really wanted to break through to the High-Grade Dao Foundation."
The news spread like wildfire, but instead of calming the cultivators down, it only escalated the situation.
In the Central New Solar System, Return to Heaven Domain-Suppressing Tower Daoist Yufu are keeping a close eye on the public opinion of the Federation cultivators.
Summary report on federal advanced intelligent agents.
"Vice Speaker, within fifty light-years of the Federation's core, over four hundred billion cultivators have been directly or indirectly affected and mobilized. It is foreseeable that the activity level of cultivators will increase by sixty percent."
"Then what about the recorded secret locations and realms throughout the entire Federation?"
A holographic projection of a star map unfolds before you, with scattered green dots appearing within each galaxy.
"Currently, there are 340 recorded secret locations, but no records of secret realms have been found."
"Based on current data, it is foreseeable that in almost every star system with a population exceeding ten million, at least one or two secret locations will emerge."
Daoist Yufu was surprised; he hadn't expected the secret realm to be so rich in resources.
"It seems this is intentional manipulation, or a deliberate attempt to identify certain patterns."
"In that case, a large portion of the cultivators within the Federation will be mobilized."
At this point, the advanced intelligent agent deduces a certain result and issues a warning.
"Vice Speaker, based on the model of cultivator society, the emergence of secret realms may trigger a certain degree of social conflict, leading to an increase in social resentment and crime rates."
"However, after this First Tier concentrated outbreak, the social stability rate will actually remain at a healthy level."
The Daoist Yufu quickly learned the reason.
The emergence of some large companies and cultivator families naturally leads them to seek monopolies or concentrate a large amount of resources to cultivate their own people.
This behavior will naturally squeeze the advancement space of many cultivators. It may not be obvious at first, but now some extreme hedonistic trends are a variation of these contradictions.
The competition in secret locations, to a certain extent, provided a clear path for advancement.
Of course, there are actually many ways to advance in the federal government, but it may take some time to accumulate experience.
Experimentation and innovation, territorial expansion, and overseas adventures are all clearly defined paths.
In particular, territorial expansion has Bearing the main channel for promotion.
At least within the foreseeable future of 100,000 years, it will be difficult for humanity to develop all tens of millions of habitable planetary systems; most of the challenges will be shifted to the exploration process.
The Human Federation has ample time to experiment with and adjust its systems and laws, gradually perfecting them, eliminating most conflicts, and smoothly transitioning into a higher civilization system.
As time passed and more and more secret realms appeared, the number of Dao Foundation cultivators experienced an explosive growth, which also accelerated the development of the life planetary system.
However, what puzzled many cultivators at the Late-Stage Dao Foundation and Perfection stages was that, five years had passed, and there was still no sign of the secret realm, which was said to possess the opportunity of the Purple Mansion, appearing.
This made some veteran cultivators who had broken through to the Dao Foundation in the early days of the new era somewhat anxious.
Their lifespans are only a little over a hundred years left. If they enter a period of spiritual exhaustion and a decline in magical power, let alone breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm, it will be difficult for them to even maintain their current level.
