Jiuli Secret Realm

Jiuli Secret Realm (九黎秘境) is a minor secret realm that Long Chen visits in Volume 4. There he meets Zheng Wenlong, Yue Xiaoqian, and others. He also gains various treasures including the Primal Chaos Bead and Ethereal Crafting Secret Record.
== Name ==
Jiuli (九黎) literally translates to 'Nine Dark' or 'Nine Black'.
Jiu means Nine. Li means Black. The name Li 黎 is different from the name Li 李 as in Li Hao.
Jiuli is also an ancient legend. Nine tribes decided to give themself the name Li, so Jiuli could be translated as the Nine Tribes. Jiuli was an alliance of nine tribes led by Chiyou (蚩尤). But in the end the Li were defeated by the Yellow Emperor of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Each of these nine tribes were said to be further split into nine clans.
== Entrance ==
The Jiuli secret realm only opens once every hundred years. There is also a limit on the entrances. Only those in the Tendon Transformation realm and below can enter. Bone Forging experts will only get exterminated if they try to force their way in. The Jiuli secret realm's restriction is extremely powerful. Even Xiantian experts will definitely die if they try to force their way in.
An elder uses Conveyance Art and Ten Thousand Runic Space Expansion to open the portal to Jiuli. He began clapping his hands. Heaven and earth began to shake intensely. Countless runes appeared over the ground, and at the same time, everyone realized they were somehow unable to move anymore.
Suddenly, a huge crack gradually tore open within the dark abyss. People were shocked to see another world on the other side of that crack.
Endless mountain ranges, ancient trees soaring into the sky, huge vines that coiled like dragons, and mountains that looked to climb as high as the heavens. However, people felt as if they were disconnected, and they were unable to sense that world's aura. It looked like a lively painting of a landscape. That crack spread for hundreds of miles, and it was also a hundred miles wide.
=== Prefectures ===
According to Bai Ling's explanation, the Jiuli secret realm connected to seven prefectures. To put it more clearly, there were seven prefectures with entrances to the Jiuli secret realm.
As for the Xuantian Supermonastery, it was located in just one of those seven prefectures. Each prefecture represented a vast area a million miles wide, and there were countless sects within each prefecture.
Other than a few large sects that monopolized several entrances, there were many smaller entrances that were in the hands of smaller sects.
So, each time the secret realm opened, all the elites of the seven prefectures would gather. Within them, it was unknown just how many top experts were present.
== Inside ==
According to history, the Jiuli secret realm had begun to appear tens of thousands of years ago. It took several attempts before people were finally able to enter.
But even after being able to enter, even after so many years had passed, even after so many of their elite disciples had entered, no one had figured out the true secret of the Jiuli secret realm.
In the beginning, some unknown person had brought out an inscribed board which had had characters from the immortal era on it.
After going through countless tomes, people finally managed to decipher what those two words were: Jiu Li. From then on, that secret realm was called the Jiuli secret realm.
But as for the Jiuli secret realm's origins, all people had their guesses. There was not a single definitive explanation.
Thus, trying to figure out the mysteries of the Jiuli secret realm had become something extremely enjoyable for the talented disciples of this era.
That was because it was said that whoever could uncover the Jiuli secret realm's secret would be able to obtain an invaluable treasure, allowing them to become a supreme figure.
=== Locations ===
* Abyss of Fiends
* Compass Mountain
* Death-Deciding Valley
* Forest of Darkness (Jiuli Realm)
== NSHBA ==
The NSHBA has a mysterious reaction to the Jiuli Realm. LC is able to break through Blood Condensation in Jiuli. LC also obtains the Primal Chaos Bead here.
Jiuli is a space that was left behind from the ancient era. There are countless treasures and inheritances to be gained in there. People may also rise in cultivation. Only core disciples can enter that place, and the spots are limited.
When LC heard that foreign name, his heart began to pound.
The Wind Manor Star at the bottom of his foot actually began to crazily circulate outside his control. Long Chen was completely bewildered.
For the Fengfu Star to make such a large movement on its own, did it mean it had a relation to the Jiuli secret realm?
For some reason, he had a premonition that there was something he needed within the Jiuli secret realm.
And that something was very likely to be related to the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art.
