Taking advantage of the dark night, Xiao Mo quietly returned to the Taoist Palace without alarming anyone.

Today's meeting with Shi Yingxia can be said to have touched him a lot, and it also made him deeply understand that even if he is a small achievement now, it is still not worth mentioning in the long river of history.

You don't see the 'Six Crazy Monarchs' amazing talent, how powerful it was back then, and it was invincible all over Lingzhou, what was the final end?

Betrayed by the woman he loved, besieged to death, the strongest treasure was robbed, the dead under the door, the wounded, even if one or two survived, they only survived, and they were determined to take revenge in the dark world.

You don't see many people squeezing their heads, joining the Four Great Palaces, and then practicing diligently, and finally surpassing their peers, becoming elite disciples, and obtaining the qualification to participate in the Four Palaces Discussion, in the eyes of others, this should be regarded as a way out, the dragon and phoenix among the people, right?

But so what, they are actually just a pawn on the chessboard of the stronger, controlled by the black hands behind the scenes, fighting for life and death, fighting for the so-called honor, and the result is nothing more than becoming soldiers and horses for others to fight, pawns to cross the river.

The whole world is in the middle of it, and it is difficult to realize it.

This world is too big, there are too many strong people in this world, there is not enough strength, no one dares to say that they are free and unrestrained all their lives, and no one knows when they will fall into other people's bureaus, become pawns and horses for others to cross the river, and discardable cannon fodder.

Therefore, either improve your strength and let yourself never become a pawn, or you can refine a pair of eyes that can see through everything and know how to avoid all dangers.

And if these can't be done, then, at least, like Xiao Mo, since he is powerless to resist, then push the boat with the current, while protecting himself, borrow the opponent's chess game, perfect himself, and then in turn overturn the opponent's chess game and become a chess player, this is the king's way.

However, the premise of all this is to have the ability to become a pawn first, and if you can't even do a pawn, everything is empty talk.

Shi Yingxia wants Xiao Mo to become one of the disciples of the Daoist Palace within two years, no matter what, and if he wants to obtain this status, it is impossible to achieve it without a certain strength, so Xiao Mo's first task is to quickly promote to the Qi Realm of Things, so that he will have the qualifications to compete at that time.

And Zhan Ruoshui also said to Xiao Mo that for the current Xiao Mo, all external objects are not important, and breaking through the Qi Realm is the top event.

If you can't break through the realm of all things, it means that the world of mental cultivation has not yet started, and no matter how strong the external objects are, they are in vain.

Although the two have their own starting points, the obvious result is that they all have the same goal, that is, they both believe that if he does not step into the realm of Qiwu, he will not have the qualifications to protect himself and compete for interests, let alone the ability to carry out the tasks assigned by Hua Lao.

Therefore, this made Xiao Mo instantly understand that the most important thing he should do next was not anything else, but to try his best to improve his strength in the shortest possible time and break through the Qi Realm.

However, the road has to be taken step by step, and the food has to be eaten one bite at a time, Xiao Mo is only at the peak of the sevenfold peak of the Freedom Realm, and it is not a small distance from the Qi Matter Realm, it does not mean that he will retreat right now, and he will not be born if he does not reach the Qi Matter Realm, which is not a smart approach.

Behind closed doors, you may not even know how to build it in the end, and only by borrowing external forces to adapt can it be possible for Xiao Mo to successfully advance.

However, before he could find a way to advance to the Qi Realm, Xiao Mo still had two things to do.

The first thing is to go to the miscellaneous hall of the inner courtyard to inquire about the conditions for entering the five secret realms and make a little preparation for them; and the second thing is to inquire what Zhan Ruoshui was looking at when he appeared on the fourth floor of the library pavilion of the school palace?

The first thing is very easy to do, go to the miscellaneous hall of the inner courtyard and ask, and the second thing, it seems that I have to go to the library of the school palace again, I hope that there, I can find the answer.

After a night of speech, early the next morning, Xiao Mo came to the miscellaneous hall of the inner courtyard and asked about the conditions for entering the five secret realms of the school palace.

I don't know if I don't know, I was startled when I asked, Xiao Mo knew that the five secret realms were not so easy to enter, although the general inner court disciples were eligible, but not all inner court disciples could enter, let alone open to everyone anytime and anywhere.

The five secret realms, each with its own specific opening hours and entry criteria, are not uniform, and most of these conditions, the current Xiao Mo, have not met.

To the five secret realms of the Taoist Palace, from low to high, there are five grades.

Grotto of the Heart Refinement.

This is a place dedicated to cultivating the power of the mind, and the Heart Refining Grotto can produce a special illusion, which can bring out the dark side of the cave's heart, turn it into a large and small inner demon, and kill it.

The stronger your soul, the longer you persist in it, and the more you kill the demons, the less dark your heart will be, and the purer your spiritual cultivation will be, and in the end, your heart will be like crystal, pure and immaculate.

In this state, no matter what you cultivate or do, you will get twice the result with half the effort and achieve the maximum effect.

Conditions for entering the cave: At the beginning of the Qi Realm, 50,000 meritorious coins.

Heavenly Magic Realm.

This is not a natural secret realm, but a special secret realm made by the ancestor of the Daoist Palace, intercepting a small fragment of the Heavenly Demon Battlefield in ancient times, in the secret realm, there are countless Heavenly Demons of all sizes, and when you enter it, you have to fight with these Heavenly Demons day and night to see who can persevere.

This is a place dedicated to cultivating and refining the elite disciples of the Academy Palace, and to enter the conditions, in the early stage of the Qi Matter Realm, one hundred thousand merit coins.

Five Extremes Secret Realm.

Different from the Heart Refining Stone Cave and the Heavenly Demon Realm, this is a non-combat secret realm, which is arranged with a large number of treasures for people to understand, enlighten people's wisdom, and even improve people's cultivation speed, it can be said that this is a pure cultivation blessed land, there is no danger of fighting, but the entry conditions are also more demanding, only some extremely top elite disciples, as well as elders and juniors, can enter.

Entry conditions: In the middle of the Qi Realm, 200,000 merit coins, and ten people can only open it once.

Purple light and blue cloud cave.

This is the mountain behind the Zhidaoxue Palace, a naturally formed wonderful cave, which has a large number of thunder and lightning spirits, and the strength is not enough to enter, and there is even a danger of falling.

However, this is an adventure-type secret realm, because in the Purple Light Qingyun Cave, a superb refining material, Purple Electric Qingguang Stone, is produced.

As long as you can get a small piece of this purple electric glauconite, you can refine a Xuan-level weapon, the higher the quality of the purple electric glauconite, the more precious it is, and the highest can even refine a Xuan-level top-level weapon, which can be said to be a precious abnormality.

Entering the Purple Light Qingyun Cave, the danger is conceited, and the harvest does not need to be handed over to the Xue Palace, it is your own. But every time you enter, not only do you have to take great risks, but you also have to pay 200,000 merit coins, and most importantly, without the mid-stage cultivation of the Qi Realm, you can't enter if you want to.

Because the school palace believes that below the middle stage of the Qi Realm, there is no ability to survive in it at all.

And the last secret realm is one of the three forbidden places of the Daoist Palace, the Luo Demon Battle Realm.

Different from the previous four secret realms, this is a large-scale comprehensive secret realm, which can not only explore, hunt for treasures, cultivate, and even have various opportunities, as long as you are lucky, it is not impossible to get rich overnight in it, and even to cultivate to skyrocket.

But if you are unlucky, you will encounter some powerful beasts inside, or enter some extremely dangerous areas, and the possibility of falling is also very great.

Of the disciples who have entered it in the past, at least more than thirty percent of them will fall into it, and sometimes even more than seventy percent or eighty percent!

It can be said that this is a terrifying secret realm where opportunities and crises coexist, and it is also the largest map and the longest exploration time among the five secret realms of the Daoist Palace.

Because of its terrifying mortality rate, this secret realm is generally not open to ordinary disciples at the top of the Daoist Palace, and will only be open when some major trials are conducted, such as selecting the disciples of the Four Palaces or selecting the heirs of the Academy.

So basically, the Luo Demon Battle Realm will only open once every five years, occasionally shortened, but not too much.

As for the entry condition, it is the late stage of the Qi Matter Realm, without merit coins, and even when it comes out of it, according to the different rankings, you will also get a certain reward.

After Xiao Mo heard this, he couldn't help but secretly speak, there is no doubt that among the five secret realms, so far, he can't enter any of them, one is that his cultivation is not enough, each secret realm requires at least the early stage of the Qi Wu Realm, and the last Luo Demon Battle Realm requires the late stage of the Qi Wu Realm.

This condition is very harsh, you must know that within the Daoist Palace, in the early stage of the Qi Wu Realm, they are generally the best among the disciples in the inner court, and in the middle stage of the Qi Wu Realm, they have all been promoted to core disciples, and in the later stage of the Qi Wu Realm, even among the many core disciples, they belong to the middle level.

In other words, the Luo Demon Battle Realm, which is the lowest, must also have the identity of a core disciple to enter, and among the core disciples, it cannot be at the bottom. The most important thing is that even if all the conditions are met, you have to wait for the school palace to take the initiative to open, and there is no way to apply for it yourself.

Therefore, if Xiao Mo wanted to enter the other four secret realms, as long as he could cultivate to the Qi Matter Realm, he would have a chance, but in the Luo Demon Battle Realm, he could only wait...... After a year and a half, when the Academy Palace selects the disciples of the Four Palaces, this Luo Demon Battle Realm should be opened once.

It's just that in just a year and a half or so, can Xiao Mo become a core disciple and be promoted to the late stage of the Qi Matter Realm?

Even if he was confident in his cultivation speed, at this moment, Xiao Mo still couldn't help but feel pressure.

It seems that the Luo Demon Battle Realm doesn't need to think about it for the time being, so let's find a way to cultivate to the Qi Realm first, and explore the other four secret realms...... Except for the fact that there is really no gain and there is no way, otherwise, Xiao Mo does not want to enter the Luo Demon Battle Realm.

After all, with such a terrifying mortality rate, and all the people who died were core disciples with high status and strong strength, Xiao Mo didn't think that he would be able to be special, and if others would die, he would definitely be able to live out of it.

It's just that time has changed, and sometimes, life is not transferred by people's will, and is pushed by an invisible force, and it has to be, in the end, how it will develop, no one can say.

After knowing the entry requirements of the five secret realms, Xiao Mo didn't stay any longer, turned around directly, and came in the direction of the library of the school palace.

This time, Xiao Mo came to the Library of the Palace of Learning, first, to inquire about what kind of special books were on the fourth floor of the Library of the Palace, and second, to see if there were any notes left by the predecessors who broke through the realm of things.

After all, it is always dangerous for a blind man to ride a blind horse, and if someone shows him the way, the distance will always be shortened and the difficulties encountered will be less.
