After a thorough study of the manual, Lin Yi had a clear understanding of the Dan God Secret Realm. It was truly a well-deserved reputable secret realm in the Cultivation World, a self-sufficient mini world encompassing all five elements.

Whether it was transformed by Zhang Dao Xuan using arrays or was naturally-formed, there were five distinct regions in the secret realm. Each region corresponds to one of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth.

Each region had spirit grass and spirit medicine aligned with its respective five elements, making it an ideal base for pill refinement.

He now realized why it was called the Dan God Secret Realm. Aside from Zhang Dao Xuan’s famous title as a Dan God, this world was more importantly a holy place for alchemists.

The Secret Realm Manual documented the appearance of some precious spiritual grasses and the general areas where they grew, mostly in the deeper parts of the secret realm.

Some multi-attribute spirit grass, with the changings of the years, would be transferred to other regions by the formation, nurtured by different elements.

This left Lin Yi in awe: integrating alchemy with array techniques was simply perfect for automatic cultivation.

The five regions, each with different attributes, posed different dangers. The most dangerous were those with metal and fire attributes. Of course, dangers posed by the other three attributes should not be underestimated.

But, the greater the danger, the more opportunities were hidden within.

Since these regions are so perilous, only a few dared to venture deep inside. This meant that there was a higher chance of finding older and untouched spirit grass and spirit medicine.

In particular, the metallic region not only had spirit grass but also rare ores that, when incorporated into a flying sword, could tremendously enhance its durability and power.

And the metallic spirit grass was particularly useful for cultivators practicing body refinement.

As for the pill room, according to the manual, its position constantly changed among the five regions with no discernable pattern, making it impossible to predict its next location.

The manual also guessed that the location of the cave mansion should be at the center beyond the five elemental regions. This area is always sealed by a formation, making it inaccessible when the cave mansion isn’t activated.

At the end of the manual, Lin Yi found words left by seniors of his sect, suggesting that one could possibly gain ownership over the entire secret realm if they received the inheritance of the Dan God after entering the cave mansion.

This speculation left him full of longing. If he could gain control of this secret realm to freely open and close it, it would truly be a holy place for Path of Survivor.

The Dan God Secret Realm was a miniature world teeming with countless spirit grasses. It had everything necessary for cultivation, even including the Dan God’s cultivation techniques. Gaining a Nascent Soul inside wasn’t a problem at all.

Of course, this was only speculation. Over the course of a thousand years, the cave mansion in the Dan God Secret Realm has only opened once or twice. Only a few people have entered, and none seemed to have passed any trials, let alone received the inheritance.

“What an enviable treasure trove.” Lin Yi closed the manual and exclaimed, filled with emotion. No wonder the Ten Major Sects cared so much about the opening of the cave mansion.

After all, if their disciples were fortunate enough to get the inheritance, the secret realm would become their sect’s backyard.

It was easy to imagine how dangerous the secret realm exploration would be. Some sects, in order to prevent disciples from other sects from accessing the cave mansion, would undoubtedly set up deadly traps, making the area close to the mansion especially dangerous.

Even being at Foundation Establishment Stage, he should not be careless and must proceed with caution.

After spending several days studying the secret realm manual, Lin Yi then began preparations for entering the secret realm. He adequately prepared pills and talisman templates.

As for other magic artifacts, there was no need to prepare them, as the two items given by Gold Sword Zen Ren were already sufficient.

Considering his Foundation Establishment Stage, coupled with additional damage from his title, Thunder Spell could demonstrate great power.

Especially under the Realm Concealment effect of Path of Survivor title, even if the Thunder Spell of Foundation Establishment Stage emits power, it would only cause Qi Refining Eighth Stage-level spiritual power fluctuation„ avoiding the targeted regulation of the Secret Realm.

More importantly, his greatest trump card in the Foundation Establishment Stage was the flying sword. Although the potency of the flying sword far exceeded the Foundation Establishment Stage and was hence limited, he had already become its master and housed it in his dantian.

This was why only those in the Foundation Building Realm could control the sword, as only after breaking through the foundation could they reconstruct a dantian capable of storing the flying sword.

When not in use, the sword can be concealed within the body. When in use, it strikes with thunderous force and is certain to kill.

Nourishing it in the dantian with spiritual power enhances its connection with him and increases its power.

Put plainly, this flying sword was now a part of him. Previously, while reflecting the Green Jade Treasure Mirror, it didn’t reveal the presence of the flying sword in his dantian at all. Hence, it’s improbable for the methods in the secret realm to detect it.

Because only those in the Foundation Building Realm can refine the flying sword and store it within their body. While, by the Path of Survivor’s Realm Concealment, his cultivation level appeared to be at the Qi Refining Eighth Stage.

And this concealment seems to have hidden everything related to his Foundation Building Stage, including his flying sword.

With about two to three days left until the opening of the Dan God Secret Realm, Lin Yi harvested the spirit grass from the ten-acre medicine field in advance and sold it at the Pill Hall..
