- What is the Secret Realm?

Fang Qiuling made a surprise effort on the flight to Cluj Napoca to tutor her knowledge of the secret realm. Expressed in terms of understanding and cognition after surprise learning:

- The secret realm is not a magical place, to put it bluntly, it is a place where the inhabitants of the ancient "inner world" lived, studied, and lived.

In the words of the cultivators, the secret realm is the cave of the gods, the place where the sage preached, the seventy-two blessed lands and the thirty-six caves and heavens. From the perspective of professionals, the secret realm is an esoteric dungeon, a passage to the other world, a wizard's tower, a warlock's tower, and so on.

The collection of the Weiyang Palace Library has a lot of explanations about the secret realm. Starting from the environment of the birth of the secret realm, to the process of the birth of the secret realm; Starting from the origin of the secret realm, to the process of manual intervention and transformation; Starting from how the secret realm has self-awareness, until the secret realm turns into a secret treasure......

However, none of the books in the Weiyang Palace Library have made a specific definition of the secret realm, because none of the secret realms are the same, so it is impossible to make an inductive summary. It can only be said that the secret realm is an important mysterious asset left over from the ancient, medieval, and even primeval periods, and it is an important way for the residents of the "inner world" to obtain mysterious resources - there is no one!

- Are there a lot of secret realms?

- You can say a lot, or you can say a lot.

There aren't many secret places that have been explored and are safe. These secret realms are all owned by the masters, and they are mainly controlled by the major forces of the "inner world". For example, the Holy Land is essentially a secret place that is completely explored and secured.

There aren't many secret places that are almost complete with exploration but can't be safe. Most of this kind of secret realm is also mastered, and it is also controlled by major forces. However, due to the threat in the inner part of the secret realm, which is usually an extremely harsh environment or a climate that is not very suitable for human survival, this type of secret realm is usually used to train newcomers or as an expedition place to obtain resources. The strength of the "Inner World" organization is directly related to the number of controlled secrets of this type.

Then there are secret realms that have not been explored and cannot be safe, and there are relatively many such secret realms. In principle, these kinds of secret realms are ownerless. According to the Convention, this type of secret realm belongs to all the inhabitants of the "inner world". In principle, as long as they are willing to take responsibility for their actions, anyone can enter this kind of secret realm unconditionally. For example, the Shepherd's Forest Secret Realm belongs to this category of secret realms.

Of course, if you are stopped before entering the secret realm, or if you encounter any misfortune after entering the secret realm, you need to take responsibility for it.

Finally, there are the undiscovered realms.

The time for the present world to enter the tidal trough of the "Source Sea" is actually very short, which is about 400 to 500 years. Compared with the high demons of the Immortal Ancient and the primeval, the ancient and ancient of the middle demons, the Middle Ages of the low demons, and the entire historical period of the end of the Dharma era that has not yet fully descended occupies the present world is extremely short, so short that it can be ignored.

From antiquity to antiquity, this period is thousands of years. If you don't mind if you don't have a clear record, you can count 10,000 years. In such a long period of time, there are not many inhabitants of the "inner world" who rely on spiritual veins to establish secret realms. Among them, there are fledgling "children", and there is also no lack of "great power" from the initial famine.

Because of the limitations of their own strength, "children" can often only use illusions such as blinding methods to cover their shelters. As the tide of the "Source Sea" enters the trough, this part of the secret realm is often directly exposed, which in turn attracts a large number of secret treasure hunters. The final result is often that the center of the secret realm is destroyed and the secret realm is destroyed......

Of course, the "great powers" will not be satisfied with illusions, they are stronger, and they have higher requirements for their own mansions, and then they invest more resources in mansions. More resources have been invested, fire prevention, theft prevention, girlfriend prevention...... I'm sorry, just anti-theft, and the investment in anti-theft is indispensable. After all, it's all beloved things in the mansion, and it's terrible to be touched by a thief.

How to prevent theft? It must be traps, spells, and circles!

Concealment is done with illusions, followed by various camouflage and confusion at the location of the entrance to the mansion. Then set up a lot of traps to let trespassers come in vertically and stay horizontally!

If you have the conditions, you can directly use the means of "mustard seed Na Sumeru" to make the mansion into a small thing and take it with you directly! There are no conditions, choosing an inaccessible place, it can be said that it is not easy to come in, and it is even more difficult to go out! Anyway, the "great power" can fly, and it doesn't care about these distances......

So theoretically, there should be a lot of secret realms that have not been discovered, and it can even be said that there are very, very many.

Legend has it that Taoists have seventy-two blessed lands and thirty-six caves, how many have they really found? Less than a palm! Some people say that "seventy-two" and "thirty-six" are imaginary numbers, and it is impossible for there really to be so many secret realms. But whether there is or not, no one dares to pat their chests and pack tickets. And every few years, a "so-and-so cave" or "so-and-so cave" will suddenly pop up, which seems to be testifying to the Taoist statement of "seventy-two blessed lands and thirty-six caves......

Fang Qiuling didn't have much research on the secret realm of the present world. However, after completing the basic homework, he also saw the roll call to some extent.

The secret realm of the present world is not so much the mansion of the inhabitants of the ancient "inner world" as their refuge.

In the long river of time, there are also countless residents of the "inner world" who foresee the coming trough of the tide of the "source sea". They call the trough of the tide of the "Source Sea" the "Age of the End of the Law"—an era in which the power of the "Source Sea" is exhausted, all kinds of ancient avenues and scriptures are lost, and all kinds of qi training techniques and means are useless. In order to survive the era of the end of the law and not be starved to death in the era of the end of the law, the residents of the "inner world" at that time could be said to have racked their brains.

If you have the conditions, you will definitely choose to "move". Break through the crystal walls of the world and travel to other high demon worlds.

If there are no conditions, then you can only suffer. Collect as much power as you can to store the power of the "Source Sea" and build a "Doomsday Shelter" where you can hide, then close the door and pray that you can survive the next "Source Sea" tide - this is where the secret realm comes from.

If there is no more conditionality...... I'm sorry, I'm drunk today, and I'm drunk, so let's die!

As it stands, it's hard to say whether these "doomsday shelters" are useful or not. If it is useful, it will have to wait for the next "source sea" tide to verify. If it is useless, all the secret realms that are found can be regarded as a typical example of failure, but there is still a lack of a "great power" dug up from the "Doomsday Vault". Of course, it is also possible that it is not that there are no such "powers", but that these "powers" have been waiting in the secret realm for too long and too long, so that they have died......

The current attitude of the "Inner World" organization towards the secret realm ...... In plain game terms, the secret realms of the present world are copies one after another. It's just that no one knows about the situation in the dungeon, and there is no strategy, so I have to fill it with human lives again and again. The organization has fully explored the copy, and then the copy belongs to the organization. The more copies an organization holds in its hand, the more mysterious resources it obtains on a daily basis, and the stronger the organization's strength will be.

It stands to reason that organizations should have a lot of motivation to find and explore secret realms. However, the outbreak of the Second World War in the 10s and 30s and 40s of the twentieth century got off to a bad start. The war in the mortal world has made the various organizations in the "inner world" realize that the original secret realm can also be used as a strategic resource to rob! At this point, the dispute in the "inner world" has risen directly from personal grievances to confrontation between organizations. Instead of seeking and exploring the secret realms as their main purpose, the various organizations began to rob the secret realms of other countries, and then began a war that lasted for more than half a century—perhaps this war can be regarded as the first world war of the "inner world".

The main battlefield of this war is still in Europa, and the end result is the rise of the two major organizations of the "Inner World", the Clock Tower and the Templar Church

The Clock Tower considers all of Europa's secrets to be its own. Even in the unexplored secret places that are clearly owned by all the inhabitants of the "inner world" in the "convention", the clock tower also claims to be its own based on territorial elements. Such an act is in fact a serious violation of the Convention, and it is not surprising that it has sparked a protest between organizations.

Of course, Fang Qiuling expressed dissatisfaction with the behavior of the clock tower. As an Adventist, he does not lack resources on the mystical side, you must know that Elune is a high-demon world, what do you want? His dissatisfaction is mainly focused on the arrogance and unreasonableness of the clock tower, and the main thing is actually that there are people around him involved.

As long as Xiao Hanyun can appear in front of him safely and intact now, Fang Qiuling promises to directly charter another plane to fly back immediately, and he will not stay for a moment!

It's not his turn to assert a voice in Europa. Facing the Clock Tower head-on is something that should be left to the Templar Church, because the grievances between the Templar Church and the Clock Tower have long been unclear, and they don't care about another land grab......

Xiao Hanqi jumped up in a hurry and ran into the back room with a worried face. She was about to get her flying sword and equipment, but after only a few steps, her feet went limp, and she fell to the ground diagonally. Fang Qiuling hurriedly supported her, and then gained an angry gaze.

- What's wrong?

- I, my feet are weak, it's all your fault!

How could Xiao Hanqi have soft feet, Fang Qiuling knew it. And does this kind of thing need to be reasonable? Not at all! Those who are reasonable are single Wang.

Fang Qiuling had no choice but to hold the girl in her arms again, and walked towards the inner room while coaxing her. He also had to change his clothes, and he also had to put on a battle cloth.

Walking into the back room, the eyes of the two naturally fell on a messy big bed. On the snow-white sheets, a hint of red is particularly conspicuous.

Xiao Hanqi immediately flew her cheeks, raised her small fist reluctantly, and smashed Fang Qiuling hard. Fang Qiuling had no choice but to beg for mercy while talking sweetly. Before the two of them could make a fuss, there was a rhythmic knock at the door of the suite.

Fang Qiuling and Xiao Hanqi's slapstick immediately froze, and they glanced at each other nervously.

- Who is it?

- I don't know!

Both saw in each other's eyes without knowing it.

- Could it be that the guys from the clock tower have found it?

- Quite possibly!

- Be careful!

- Hmm!

Fang Qiuling immediately slapped the spell and soul link on Xiao Hanqi's body, and at the same time, he also unfolded the empty consciousness.

Outside the door stood an old man in a gray priest's robe. Fang Qiuling knew this old man, after all, he had only obtained an ancient magic book from the old man last night, and it was definitely impossible to say that he didn't know him now.
