After losing three drops of original power, Pingtu's strength was greatly damaged, and he fell into a deep sleep soon after.
The monks in this secret realm were still practicing year after year and day after day. Gradually, they discovered something different. They hadn't seen the True Lord with unfathomable magic power and countless killings for a long time.
Moreover, his disciple who had occasionally appeared in the past had not appeared for a long time. After discovering this, they observed for a while, and then some people plucked up their courage and began to try to step out of the previously designated area.
They initially tried this kind of thing with captive monsters, fearing that if the True Lord was really still here, there would be thunderous wrath. They would then have an excuse, saying that the captive monsters had accidentally broken free and escaped, and they thought that the True Lord's wrath would still be within their tolerable range.
After several times of monsters "escaping" from the designated area and living leisurely for a while, their guesses were further confirmed. They became bolder and bolder, and they let their disciples enter the restricted area little by little in the name of capturing escaped monsters.
But still no one showed up to stop them, and the monks from various sects began to expand tacitly, and continued to accept more disciples from the outside.
While expanding their territory, they raised monsters and beasts on a large scale. They broke through one restriction after another and established one cave dwelling and cultivation sect after another.
At that time, Pingtu was in a long sleep and knew nothing about it.
However, there are two places in this secret realm that the cultivators have never been able to break into, no matter how their cultivation levels continue to improve. Even if some of them later cultivated to the mortal world and reached the Void Refinement Stage, which they are not supposed to have, the secret realm is still unable to be opened.
That is the Wheel of Life and Death and the cave of Lord Qianchong!
Just like this, time passed by for thousands and thousands of years, until one day, when Pingtu temporarily woke up from his deep sleep. When his spiritual consciousness swept across the secret realm, he saw a scene that he could not believe.
For a moment, he could not help but feel shocked and angry. Except for the Zhenjun Cave and the Wheel of Life and Death, the other areas of this secret realm have become places for cultivating immortals with many sects.
Moreover, the passage between the secret realm and the mortal world has been increased from one to ten, which has accelerated the flow of spiritual energy here. The Qianchong Zhenjun Cave and the periphery of the Wheel of Life and Death have been divided into three major areas.
They are occupied by two top sects and a top immortal cultivation family respectively, and there are many small sects dependent on them around them.
Outside the Wheel of Life and Death and the Qianchong True Lord Cave, there are all kinds of formation flags and formation tools. It is obvious that these three super powers have been attacking these two places for a long time, and some of the restrictions on the periphery have been broken by them. As long as this continues, these two places will be opened sooner or later.
In a rage, Pingtu was already filled with murderous intent. He was a murderous weapon that had followed Qianzhong Zhenjun for hundreds of thousands of years, and his murderous intent was extremely strong. When he saw that his secret realm was messed up by this group of ants, and they even tried to occupy the master's cave, he was already furious.
He didn't care that he had only awakened temporarily and immediately started a massacre.
First of all, Pingtu completely destroyed ten external passages. This cut off these people's retreat, and secondly, prevented a steady stream of reinforcements from entering.
He knew that his strength had been greatly reduced after losing three drops of original power, and was only equivalent to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation of a human cultivator, so if he took action, he would cut off the retreat and support here.
Pingtu's move triggered a devastating war. For a moment, the secret realm was littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river, turning the entire secret realm into a closed slaughterhouse.
But later, he met five top human cultivators. With the nourishment of the secret realm, they all reached the realm of refining emptiness.
Faced with Pingtu's sudden internal sneak attack, the five men were furious. In an instant, only two or three out of ten human cultivators were left under Pingtu's sudden attack.
The five Void Refining monks joined forces to surround and kill Pingtu. Each of them was higher than Pingtu at that time, so Pingtu was at a disadvantage. However, he withstood the opponent's attack, which made the five Void Refining monks change color and were horrified.
The battle between the two sides caused a huge change in the secret realm. For a moment, the sky and the earth changed color, strong winds blew, countless high mountains collapsed, rivers flowed backwards, large tracts of forests were razed to the ground, and pieces of flat land turned into bottomless abysses.
The realms of the five people were one major realm higher than Pingtu. After a fight, Pingtu's continuously solidified "Five Elements Dao Li Pearl" was also riddled with holes. If it weren't for the fact that the material of the "Five Elements Dao Li Pearl" was the finest in the world, it would have collapsed and dissipated long ago.
Pingtu relied on the boundless power of the "Five Elements Dao Li Pearl" to prevent the weapon spirit's body from being blown up, which made Pingtu even more ferocious.
He ignored the danger of eternal destruction of the spirit of the weapon, and in his ferocious ferocity, he instantly exploded a drop of his original power, which brought a doomsday catastrophe to the secret realm in an instant.
The secret realm began to collapse on a large scale, and strong winds and turbulent currents swept in. The secret realm was suddenly filled with turbulent currents, and cracks in space appeared from time to time like lightning.
Everything that appeared around the space crack was swallowed up in an instant. A drop of original power exploded and destroyed two-thirds of the secret realm. The rest of the space was also crumbling.
The explosion of that drop of original power killed two Void Refining monks and countless disciples on the spot, leaving only one tenth of the original number of monks. The remaining three Void Refining monks were also seriously injured. Facing such a fierce weapon spirit, they were already terrified and hated Pingtu to the core.
At that time, Pingtu's cultivation was about to fall again. Unless he detonated the last drop of original power and caused the last secret space to completely collapse, and everything here would disappear, he would be unable to fight again.
Pingtu, who was in a violent state, didn't care about the consequences of his eternal destruction. He laughed loudly and sacrificed the last drop of his original power. His action frightened the three Void Refining Monks to death. However, all the exits had been destroyed by Pingtu. In the end, the three of them fled into the collapsed space crack with the few remaining people without caring about anything.
If he is lucky, he may be able to survive temporarily. If he is extremely unlucky, he will be killed instantly by the turbulence in the space crack, and not even a trace of him will be left. But the opponent is so excellent that he at least has a glimmer of hope.
Pingtu saw that the human cultivator chose to hide in the space crack. Given his condition, he naturally could not continue chasing him, so he collected the last drop of original power.
Gathering the remaining essence that had just exploded between heaven and earth, with his understanding of space as following Master Qianzhong, he closed all the space cracks one by one, and condensed the only one-third of the remaining fragments of the secret realm into a small space with his great magic power.
Then, countless prohibitions were set up around the space, which preserved the last fragment of the secret realm from collapsing and disappearing, and this secret space was thus cut off from all connections with the outside world.
After sealing the last fragment of the secret realm, Pingtu fell into a deep sleep. He was extremely weak, and this sleep lasted for endless years.
Some of the low-level monsters that were originally raised by the monks in this secret realm gradually developed intelligence with the help of the two remaining top-grade spirit veins here, and then became more and more powerful, and finally became the masters of this place.
All the resources in the secret realm became the resources needed for the monsters' cultivation, and finally even the Wheel of Life and Death was discovered by them.
Before Pingtu fell asleep, he used his last bit of strength to reinforce the seal on Qianchong Zhenjun's cave, but he was no longer able to open the restrictions on the outside of the Wheel of Life and Death. In the end, the cave became a place for others to train.
Pingtu had already fallen into a deep sleep. Everything that happened in the Wheel of Life and Death was running autonomously based on the rules set by Qianzhong Zhenjun. Until Li Yan entered the Wheel of Life and Death this time, the special aura of the Five Immortals Sect on him slowly woke up the sleeping Pingtu.
This is only possible because Li Yan entered the body of the "Five Elements Dao Li Pearl" and resonated with Pingtu. Otherwise, if Li Yan just stayed in the secret realm and did not enter the wheel of life and death, Pingtu would continue to sleep.
Li Yan listened silently to Pingtu's words, his heart was filled with emotions. He never thought that the Five Immortal Sect had such a hard time surviving. There were only a few people in a sect, which was extremely shabby compared to the Wuliang Sect which had tens of thousands of disciples.
"The source of the treasures in the secret realm is actually this. It turns out that they were caves built by a group of practitioners who betrayed the Five Immortal Sect. But sadly, in the end, it was not them who became the masters of these caves, but the low-level monsters they raised."
"Senior, you brought me here. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Li Yan raised his head and looked towards Pingtu. Although the middle-aged man in front of him was just a spirit of an artifact, and those who appeared here were not necessarily the real spirit of the artifact, but most likely just a wisp of divine consciousness, he was still very respectful.
Although the strength of this man in front of him has declined greatly, he is still a peerless weapon. However, just for Pingtu's feelings for the Five Immortals Sect, he deserves Li Yan's respect.
Although Li Yan was a disciple of the Wuliang Sect and the Xiaozhu Peak lineage was very good to him, except for some basic immortal arts, all he learned came from the Guishui Immortal Sect. Even his dismembered poisonous body was produced by the mutation of the Guishui Sutra.
It was the skills of the Five Immortal Sect that allowed him to survive from the hands of Master Ji. Deep down, he certainly believed that he was a member of the Guishui Immortal Sect, but at the same time, he would not deny the fact that the Wuliang Sect cultivated him.
"Hehehe... I told you before that when you come here, I will give you a good fortune. But this is not sent by me, but by the Five Immortal Sects. The five immortal sects have been connected since ancient times. Their skills are similar and they are close to each other. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are from the same sect.
Therefore, although each of the five sects has its own school, they have already made an agreement that whenever they meet a disciple below the Spirit Transformation Stage for the first time, they will give him two big gifts.
Therefore, after True Lord Qianzhong founded the secret realm, he left some backup plans to prevent people from the other four immortal sects from coming here in the future and breaking their promise.
The first is to give a space-type magic weapon; the second is to give a round diamond crystal.
The precious storage magic weapon given to you is a top-grade space-type magic weapon. The space inside it can store living beings. It is far superior to the soul storage bags you use. It can also be used for soul beasts.
The size of the space inside it will slowly change as your cultivation level increases. When you comprehend the artistic conception of space one day, you can even create a small world inside it by yourself. This is its most precious aspect.
The Five Immortals Sect has the opportunity to obtain this kind of top-grade magic weapon because it has too few disciples. Otherwise, the raw materials for refining a top-grade magic weapon alone would not be something a sect could afford.
At the same time, when you reach the middle stage of fusion one day, you must also go to the Pure Nirvana Realm in the outer space, fetch a few grains of Chaos Soil, refine them into similar magic weapons and place them back in the sect, to be given to the other four sects or the destined people in this sect.
Therefore, you must sign the Blood Curse with your blood. As for the last round diamond crystal, it is the teleportation talisman to this secret realm, but the distance between the two cannot exceed ten thousand miles. The place you will come to in the future is this secret room now."
After saying these words, Pingtu looked at Li Yan. At this time, Li Yan's mouth was wide open, and his eyes were full of shock and ecstasy.
Pingtu saw all of Li Yan's expressions and he was not surprised.
If this kind of opportunity were given to the outside world, even an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage would risk his life to get it, even if it meant starting a bloody massacre.
