Forest of Darkness (Jiuli Realm)

Dark Forest (暗幽森林 anyou senlin), Anyou Forest, Secret Serene Forest, Jiuli Realm
The Forest of Darkness was marked in red, indicating it was an extremely dangerous area.
It spread for millions of miles, and it was extremely gloomy. Adding on the dense vegetation that concealed all kinds of unknown Magical Beasts, a person might lose their life there at any moment.
The Jiuli secret realm had several well-known danger areas. The Forest of Darkness was said to be even more dangerous than the Misty Mountain Valleys.
That was because the Misty Mountain Valleys were simply filled with a terrifyingly thick mist. As long as you didn't enter deeply into that mist, the danger level wasn't necessarily high.
However, the Forest of Darkness was different. It looked like just an ordinary forest, but there were countless vicious beasts and poisonous insects hidden within it. Perhaps a single ant would be able to easily kill a Tendon Transformation expert.
All these fatal threats were hidden in places you couldn't even see. Those threats might come out and take your life at any moment.
You could defend against dangers you could see. They weren't dangerous. But the unseen dangers were the most frightening. By the time you realized you were in a perilous situation, you would already be dead.
However, the Forest of Darkness was extremely vast, and it was said there were countless relics from ancient times, as well as countless medicinal ingredients. In fact, it was said that there had been people who had obtained an unaging medicine.
Once someone consumed it, it was said they would never grow older, allowing them to maintain their youthful appearance. Even up to the day you died, you would never age. That was a treasure countless female cultivators would go mad for.
There were also legends that people had obtained heaven-defying treasures that were able to promote the level of a person's Spirit Root. There were also stories of spirit medicines that were capable of roving around the forest. However, the best ones must be the legends that people had obtained immortal grass. Just a single whiff of it was supposed to allow someone to shed their mortal body.
In short, there were all kinds of legends and myths. But even though people knew these legends were exaggerated, they still caused people to go a bit crazy.
All the various large sects classified this as one of the top important places of the secret realm. So despite its fearful reputation, there were still countless experts who risked their lives to go there.
