Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 1479: Chapter 1474: Seven Great Secret Realms (Part 1)

The Lin family’s secret realm can be considered their exclusive domain.

The entrance is right at the center of their estate.

At all times, experts are guarding it, along with protective arrays.

Any slight anomaly would be known by the entire Lin family.

Even the ancestors in seclusion would be awakened.

It’s safe to say, this is their safest place.

Hundreds of years of exploration have allowed them to scour almost every part of the secret realm.

The unexplored parts are marked outside as off-limits.

Furthermore, some highly dangerous areas are indicated as well.

Upon entering the secret realm, core disciples and vassal disciples are repeatedly cautioned against venturing into certain places.

Because even the family’s Innate members dare not tread there lightly.

If someone insists on entering, then it isn’t worth cultivating such disciples.

In the secret realm, if Lin Xi were to enter, he would find a gray and hazy space.

The visibility is very low.

It’s akin to northern cities during severe smog.

However, the only difference is the air here contains dense Spiritual Qi compared to the outside world.

In fact, it’s even more concentrated than the places Lin Xi has visited before.

This time, the core disciples entering the Lin family secret realm are not just from the Lin family.

There are also core disciples from the Bai family, the Xu family, and the Han family.

Why these families?

There’s a reason for it!

These four are the top families in the capital!

They are also the top families across Huaxia, standing at the pinnacle.

The so-called ten major families are considerably weaker compared to them and dare not unite to oppose the capital’s four families as they are much weaker.

The four families have been established for over five hundred years in the capital.

In all these years, there’s never been a major conflict.

No attacks or annexations have occurred.

This might seem strange.

Any family annexing another would greatly enhance its power.

It’s human nature to become greedy.

Moreover, they’re so close in the capital.

If one family reached the summit, becoming Huaxia’s sole most influential family, it would be a glorious feat.

Undoubtedly a source of pride.

The most crucial aspect is the surge in power.

Someone could become Huaxia’s most powerful individual with over ninety percent certainty.

For instance, if the four families merged into one.

The Dragon King would be firmly suppressed.

Huaxia would be dangerous to a certain degree.

This can be likened to Huaxia’s feudal dynasties.

When one family’s power grows too large, its ambition and mindset will differ.

As for why the core disciples from the other three families are in the Lin family secret realm.

Didn’t Lin Hai say this was one of their family’s greatest secrets?

A secret should not be shared with others.

The strengths of the other three families are not inferior to the Lin family.

For them to know this, isn’t it dangerous?

Aren’t they afraid of being robbed in cooperation?

Actually, such a thing wouldn’t occur.

The other three families each have their own secret realm.

Located in their ancestral estates.

Not only those families, but the government also controls three secret realms, located in the capital.

Currently, it is known that the capital has seven secret realms.

Whether there are more remains unknown.

But having seven in the capital is quite startling.

Considering the capital isn’t that large!

A province having two or three secret realms is already remarkable.

Thinking about it, it makes sense though.

The capital, being the seat of multiple dynasties, preserving such perfect ancient architecture, or rather, they are considered wonders.

The foreign populace couldn’t build them.

They see it as unparalleled craftsmanship, beyond human capability.

Plus, various notable individuals were active in the capital across dynasties, giving birth to many extraordinary figures.

The capital!

How could it be an ordinary place!

An ordinary place couldn’t bear so much.

So having seven secret realms, pondering over it makes sense.

Even if more are added later, no one would be surprised.

In the capital, anything is possible.

Speaking of which.

Why are the core disciples of the other three families also in the Lin family’s secret realm?

Aren’t they worried the Lin family would sabotage?

Actually, they need not worry about this.

Or rather, the Lin family dare not do anything risky.

Unless they wish to face extinction.

After all, the strength of any of the other three families isn’t much different from theirs.

Moreover, the four families have always supported each other.

This is why they still exist today.

If it weren’t for mutual support, several historical incidents would have led to their demise.

Additionally, every ten years, the core disciples of the four families enter one of the family’s secret realms for exploration and training, lasting half a month.

Each secret realm can be entered again thirty years later.

The secret realm’s thirty-year cultivation allows the accumulation of supreme treasures and peak Spiritual Qi.

Core disciples inside will quickly break through and bring valuable resources to their families.

Without thirty years, the secret realm remains closed.

If unknown outsiders would think that family members constantly staying in the secret realm wouldn’t be better?

Being inside always, wouldn’t the cultivation speed be faster?

As for treasures, just not harvesting them?

All that matters is the Spiritual Qi.

Considering the outside world’s Spiritual Qi compared to inside is like an oasis versus a desert.

But the core members of the four families know.

This approach is absolutely forbidden.

The capital’s secret realms are different from those elsewhere.

Firstly, the air inside carries elements harmful to the body.

Staying too long would cause problems.

On the other hand, the Spiritual Qi in the air would be massively depleted.

For example.

Sichuan secret realm compared to the capital secret realm, it’s very different.

The major difference is the capital secret realm’s one day equals Sichuan secret realm’s year.

Fifteen days equates to fifteen years.

This is why the capital families are so powerful.

After fifteen days, the realm’s Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi decreases rapidly.

Also, even if you’re Innate, you can’t persist for too long beyond ordinary days.

If persistent, the realm’s cycle would be disrupted.

This is forbidden by the four families.

This explains why the four families enter one secret realm every ten years.

If merely entering their own, then the next entry would be thirty years apart.

That’s not feasible.

So hundreds of years ago, they reached an agreement.

It’s akin to sharing.

This is how benefits are maximized.

However, today, the disciples of the four families entering the Lin family secret realm have encountered danger.

Oh, wrong.

It should be said, three of those families.
