Chapter 2602's challenge is a bit too difficult.
By completely concealing his aura, Wang Qi managed to evade the Flame Sparrow's pursuit.
"Luckily I learned the technique of concealing one's aura, otherwise this would have been a huge problem!" Wang Qi was glad that he had learned this secret technique of concealing one's aura during his cultivation.
He spent a full six months learning this secret technique.
If it weren't for the concealment technique, even if I had hidden in this cave, I would definitely have been found by the Flame Sparrow.
Once the commotion outside the Flame Sparrow subsided, Wang Qi carefully checked his condition. Although he didn't have many injuries, his true energy was severely depleted, and he only had 50% of his true energy left.
After cultivating the Five Elements Dantian, Wang Qi's internal energy content far exceeded that of traditional cultivators of the same level. However, in such a short time, he had already consumed 50% of his internal energy, which made him realize even more how dangerous the virtual secret realm was.
"I must wait until my true energy is restored before going out." Wang Qi sighed and began circulating the Five Elements Technique to recover his true energy.
There were 999 other Qi Refining stage cultivators who entered this virtual secret realm with Wang Qi, and their experiences varied.
A cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage appeared in a basin. Upon seeing a patch of blue grass in the basin, the cultivator's face instantly lit up with joy.
"Orchid grass, this is the main ingredient for refining the Spirit Restoration Pill, I'm so lucky!" The cultivator rushed into the valley without hesitation.
He had barely landed in the valley when a buzzing sound came from the orchid grass, followed by a cloud of insects rising from the grass and rushing towards him.
"Oh no, it's a spirit insect!"
Before the cultivator could react, the cloud of insects had already enveloped him.
Fortunately, the cultivator managed to activate the Five Elements Barrier in time, which kept the insect cloud outside.
"These are white-winged insects, but why are they so strong?" The cultivator recognized that the spirit insects attacking him were called white-winged insects.
But the white-winged insects around him were much stronger than any white-winged insects he knew.
These white-winged insects attached themselves to the Five Elements Barrier and devoured it frantically. The cultivator felt his true energy rapidly draining away.
He fought back with all his might, using every means at his disposal, but in the end he could not escape the fate of being completely devoured by the white-winged insects.
After he was completely devoured by the white-winged insects, and when he came to his senses, he was already back in the room where he had changed equipment.
"Damn, it's over already!"
"These white-winged insects are clearly stronger!"
"Damn it, I failed on my first try!"
The cultivator was filled with resentment, while in the same virtual secret realm, a Qi Refining cultivator was besieged by a pack of demonic wolves and ultimately died in their jaws.
A monk encountered a flock of birds and was quickly killed.
Many cultivators who had just entered the secret realm were immediately kicked out of the virtual secret realm, and for a time many cultivators spoke out on the Internet.
"This extreme survival challenge is way too difficult!"
"Yes, I was kicked out after only half a day!"
"The demons in the virtual secret realm are too powerful, at least five times stronger than the demons in the real world!"
"Moreover, the demon race in the virtual secret realm is extremely sensitive to human cultivators, and they only have the purest desire to attack, making them too difficult to deal with!"
"Ugh, I was attacked and killed by a swarm of white-winged insects, that feeling was terrifying!"
"I died in the jaws of a pack of demonic wolves!"
"I was killed by a demonic tiger!"
……
"The feeling of death is terrifying. Fortunately, it's in a virtual secret realm, so death here isn't considered real death."
"But why did the War Sect set the strength of the demon race in the virtual secret realm to such a high level?"
"Yes, this challenge is too difficult. There probably aren't many people who can last for three months in the secret realm."
"The key is not just surviving for three months, but also collecting a certain number of mission items. Hiding in one place won't help."
"It seems the rewards for extreme survival won't be easy to get."
"It's indeed not easy to get, but this kind of training is very interesting."
"That's great, very interesting. Through such virtual adventures, you can discover your own shortcomings."
"I plan to learn a few secret techniques and then try them out. I've found that some of these techniques can be very effective in crucial moments."
"I plan to try a few more times."
……
For a time, the topic of virtual secret realms was all over the internet. At first, many cultivators did not take virtual secret realms seriously.
However, after trying it, many cultivators developed a strong interest in this method of honing their strength.
This is different from the Tower of Trials; it is very beneficial for developing overall strength.
Most cultivators were eliminated shortly after entering the virtual secret realm. Some discovered their shortcomings and began to find ways to make up for them, such as by cultivating some secret techniques.
At this moment, the heads of the network technology department gathered together.
"There's a lot of discussion about our extreme survival challenge online right now, and many people have strong opinions about its difficulty, thinking that our virtual secret realm challenge is too difficult."
"Our goal is to cultivate talent. A higher level of difficulty is necessary to hone their skills. We should ignore all such opinions and continue to push forward according to the original plan."
"According to our investigation, although the Extreme Survival Challenge has only been running for a short time, the participation rate of cultivators is very high. Most importantly, many of the eliminated cultivators have clearly recognized their shortcomings, and many are making targeted efforts to make up for them."
"Very good, this is the effect the sect leader needs. Continue to observe and record detailed data."
"Holding several Extreme Survival Challenges first, and then launching the Immortal Cultivation Tournament should be more effective."
"Okay, let's arrange it this way."
The virtual secret realm extreme survival challenge continues. Wang Qi hid in the cave and cultivated for a full ten days, but unfortunately he still hadn't fully replenished the true energy he had consumed.
"No, this extreme survival challenge only lasts for three months. I still need to collect enough mission items. If I keep using cultivation techniques to recover my true energy, I definitely won't be able to achieve my goal."
"It seems I can only collect quest items while trying to gather all the necessary medicinal herbs for refining the elixir. Fortunately, there are quite a few of these herbs in this virtual secret realm."
After making his decision, Wang Qi ran out of the cave where he was hiding. This time he was more careful and dared not fly rashly. He continued to use the concealment technique and then moved quickly on the ground.
His divine sense was constantly spreading out, alert to his surroundings, while searching for what he wanted.
"Three Yellow Grass!" Wang Qi was delighted to discover a spiritual herb growing on a cliff not far away. However, he did not approach it rashly. Instead, he planted the Three Yellow Grass and unleashed a sword aura near it.
The next moment, a well-hidden demonic snake darted out from a crack in the side and launched an attack directly at Wang Qi.
