490 Secret Realm
Sitting at the core of this array, that proud genius couldn't leave for a millennium, at most roaming within the formation's scope, but absolutely impossible to leave.
Even if no issue arises, should they leave, the monitoring Spiritual Treasure here would record it, and the merit for the task would be deducted, with severe penalties.
The minimum requirement for guarding here is a Sixth Realm prodigy.
This one is precisely at the pinnacle of the prodigy level, just a step away from a Demon.
Before coming, Small Knife and the other disciples involved in this operation had simple emotional contacts, drinking tea and wine together.
A Martial Artist with unrivaled physique is not suited for guarding the control Grand Array, better fit as vanguard combat strength.
However, due to Little Daoist Knife's identity, the contribution he gained was higher than that of the prodigy guarding the array core.
In subsequent conversations, it was vaguely reminded that some achievements must be made in this mission.
After switching the Array Hub's Array Base.
Three months have passed.
For the first time, apart from others guarding the Array Hub loafing around, including Small Knife, all gathered at this core place to discuss and chat.
Excluding Small Knife, apart from other Sixth Realm guards, there were ten Sixth Realm ones, on rotation.
Of course, only ordinary Sixth Realm ones could obtain this qualification; no one could replace the prodigies guarding the core.
Once idle, they could go out to kill some natives, seeking opportunities.
It's not that more people couldn't be dispatched, but the Five Elements Sword Control Sect has limited experts, needing them in many places.
Reportedly, in the previous batch, during the millennium, a total of eight fell.
However, there are quite a few Jade Slips left detailing the Secret Realm here; in these three months, apart from the Grand Array, it's been about reading these Jade Slips, understanding this Secret Realm.
What shocked Small Knife was that the known unrivaled natives in this Secret Realm numbered three.
And the Demons beneath them were not fewer than a hundred.
Still, even with their full strength, they couldn't break the Grand Array.
The natives here have a deficient cultivation methodology, all exploring the most basic on their own; it's easy for the Low Realm, but even after millions of years, it is challenging to form a systematic cultivation path in the Sixth Realm.
And this Secret Realm isn't small at all.
Natives able to produce such powerhouses clearly indicate the Spiritual Qi in this world contains Immortal Qi, but that might not be all; there must be secrets.
Everyone knows, even if unable to occupy, finding and handing it over to the sect would result in significant merit.
Hence, other Sixth Realm powerhouses discussed forming teams to venture outside for adventures.
However, Small Knife did not participate.
These fellow disciples also understood that the Unrivaled Martial Dao and they were not on the same level; to them, it would just be a matter of one punch.
Have any Defensive Spiritual Artifacts? Then two punches it is.
Suddenly, Spiritual Qi surged around, the heavens and earth seeming to shake, a sense of crisis descended.
Everyone was instantly startled.
But immediately returned to calmness.
"Damn!" Small Knife broke out in a cold sweat, just tried a trace of Divine Soul leaving the body to examine this Defensive Array.
Unexpectedly causing such changes, fortunate to have re-entered the body in time to stabilize.
Just now, he had sensed the threat of death, goosebumps arose without revealing the true self.
This made Small Knife vigilant.
Still complacent about the Unrivaled in the Fifth Realm with a Sixth Realm Divine Soul inside, only now realizing?
Directly wasted more than half, not daring to appear.
This was no Little World; no need to suppress power used, as just a single leak would be noticed, truly a former battlefield of the Immortal World.
Small Knife solemnly warned himself, yet from the earlier attempt, the personal space had gathered information and was analyzing.
With changes happening here, no one had the heart to chat idly, shifting directly to a state of alert.
Small Knife hadn't anticipated how seriously these cultivators would regard the matter.
This alertness investigation, even though resulting in no findings, surprisingly a full ten years passed.
As the strongest here, without relying on the array, Small Knife could destroy everyone.
So, he exclusively had his own courtyard.
This was the treatment for a supervising cultivator of this Secret Realm.
Within the courtyard, some Spirit Plants were planted, all at the peak of the Fifth Realm, if any reached the Sixth Realm, Small Knife could harvest them.
This was a kind of opportunity.
Of course, when leaving, Fifth Realm Spirit Plants generally aren't touched.
To a Sixth Realm cultivator, Fifth Realm Spiritual Objects are insignificant, too much disparity with the Sixth Realm.
Seventh Realm Divine Souls cannot leave the body, but fortunately, personal space is unaffected.
Not only Small Knife, but other cultivators also carried treasures like Blessed Lands, releasing their Daoist Soldiers, tribes, etc. after settling down.
Small Knife witnessed the Sixth Realm Daoist Soldiers numbering more than thirty, showing these cultivators had considerable reserves.
Seeing this, Small Knife also released some subordinates for miscellaneous tasks.
The Heart Spirit connected to Small Knife's Great World through personal space.
At this time, Small Knife's Great World seemed almost like a clone of him, with the Heavenly Dao Consciousness of personal space directly able to connect.
Nearly all Heart Spirits merged into the Great World, experiencing its mysteries.
This feeling is wondrous, always yielding some gains.
Most of these gains are insights, though not tangible benefits, Small Knife felt these are important, understanding this world, this cosmos's mysteries, aiding in surpassing bottlenecks.
As time passed, the top Martial Artists in Small Knife's Great World matured, with many possibilities of breaking through the Sixth Realm.
Regrettably, even though Small Knife provided some longevity-extending, Qi Blood prolonging Spiritual Objects through combat or trials, none had yet broken through to the Sixth Realm.
The Unrivaled Martial Realm nearly ten, considered among the Ten Great Martial Gods of the Mortal World, still of no significant use.
Only by breaking through the Sixth Realm can a qualitative change occur.
