Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Jiang Shi transformed into a middle-aged cultivator with mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivation.

We traveled on without encountering any danger.

He finally arrived at the center of the first level of the tower, a place that resembled an altar.

Dozens of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators have already gathered here.

At a glance, there were more than seventy cultivators present, more than twenty fewer than the number who entered the secret realm initially.

Those few naturally died and disappeared.

Jiang Shi blended in without attracting any attention.

He discreetly observed these powerful cultivators and spotted Lu Chuanxing, the head of the outer sect of the Qingyun Sect, who had entered the secret realm with him, as well as Ouyang Yu, the eldest disciple of the city lord of the Lingxu Sect.

The two were relaxed and unharmed.

It seems these two have their own methods and are quite skilled at exploring this secret realm.

Then Jiang Shi saw three demon wolf statues in the crowd, exactly the same as the statues in the Misty Mansion.

In front of the statue, three mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators stood together.

One of them is Zhou Yuan, a disciple of the Beast Taming Mountain, one of the ten major sects in the cultivation world.

The other was a fierce young man in a beast-patterned robe, exuding bloodlust and murderous intent.

The last one surprised Jiang Shi the most: Wei Wushang, a member of the Wei family, a top family in Central Continent.

Wei Wushang stood there with a smile, occasionally making a joke with Zhou Yuan of Yushou Mountain, and sometimes turning to tease the young man in the beast robe.

This person wasn't killed by that fierce demon; it seems he's not as simple as he appears.

Jiang Shi thought to himself, "This person is not someone to be trifled with."

"Oh, I know these three statues. They're the Demon Wolf statues. I heard they can be activated with flesh and blood. How about it? Want to give it a try?" Wei Wushang said to the two men.

"Activate them with flesh and blood? I think it would be best to use your blood sacrifice to activate them. Aren't you immortal?" The young man in the beast robe stared at Wei Wushang and said with murderous intent, as if he would tear him to pieces on the spot in a second.

"Xuanyuan Yi, don't make it sound so scary. Just because I'm not dead doesn't mean I don't feel pain."

When Wei Wushang spoke, most of the people present were taken aback and horrified.

"Xuanyuan Yi? Could this person be from the Xuanyuan family, a powerful clan in the Western Desert?"

"That must be it. No wonder they have such methods and such strength."

"And this Wei Wushang, judging from their conversation, could he possibly be immortal? How is that possible?!"

"Could the rumors be true? There's a rumor that the Wei family has a prodigy, a reincarnation of a powerful being, born immortal and unharmed. Could it really be him?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, sharing various secrets, which Jiang Shi, who was eavesdropping, secretly noted down.

The Western Desert Xuanyuan, the Central Continent Wei Family, and the Northern Region Yushou Mountain.

These individuals all hail from top-tier forces in the cultivation world. A single word from them could unleash a bloodbath, and annihilating the three major sects of the Canglin region would be a piece of cake.

Among the cultivators present, some were not afraid of the three, including the three brocade-robed grand cultivators and a person hiding in the corner with their face covered.

"I am also quite familiar with this demonic puppet statue," Zhou Yuan of Beast Taming Mountain said at this moment.

As one of the top ten sects in the cultivation world, Beast Taming Mountain has a library containing many secrets of the cultivation world.

Things like demonic puppets are not a secret in Beast Taming Mountain.

"Although this demonic puppet statue can only be activated by flesh and blood to pass on demonic scriptures and secret techniques, we are born with our own inheritance, so why do we need to cultivate demonic techniques?"

"Just smash it!" Zhou Yuan said.

He didn't care about the legacy within the demonic puppet statue.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi felt that these three were simply wasting a precious resource. They might look down on this kind of demonic inheritance, but he desperately needed it.

However, the other side is now too powerful, and he cannot stop them.

We can only wait and see how things develop before making any further plans.

Besides, he didn't necessarily need to complete the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demonic Source" here; there were already nine statues in the Misty Mansion.

"Then let's have one statue for each person." Xuan Yuan Yi agreed with Zhou Yuan's suggestion.

After he agreed, he took the initiative to attack, his whole body bursting with blood-red light. With a wave of his hand, a blood-red inscription appeared, and a strange aura emanated from it.

Clearly, Xuanyuan Yi used some kind of secret technique; he punched the demon wolf statue with blood-red inscriptions.

Boom!

A loud crash was heard.

Some people with lower cultivation levels were shocked and showed expressions of great pain.

The wolf statue was smashed by Xuan Yuan Yi and shattered with a crash, scattering rubble all over the ground. A crimson crystal floated up from the rubble and was caught in Xuan Yuan Yi's hand.

"What is that?"

"That's the Blood Moon Demon Seal. It has many wonderful uses and might be able to replace some Core Formation Elixirs," the three brocade-clad cultivators whispered among themselves.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, breaking through to the Golden Core stage is the most important thing.

Even among the top ten sects and the most prestigious families, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators under their tutelage all aim to form their Golden Core, elevate their status, and acquire more sect resources.

This is especially true for smaller sects and factions. This secret realm is extremely dangerous. Even though more than twenty Foundation Establishment stage cultivators died in the first trial, many people still venture into the secret realm to explore.

It's all for obtaining resources to increase cultivation level and spiritual medicines to increase the chances of forming a golden core.

"Don't rush things. Dealing with them now is not a wise choice. Let them scout ahead for us first," the leader of the three brocade-clad cultivators instructed the other two.

Other minor sects could only watch with envy, but no one dared to make a move. This tower had nine floors in total.

They might have a chance to get opportunities on other levels.

Xuanyuan Yi held the Blood Moon Demon Seal, tossing it gently in his hand, then scanned all the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators present.

No one dared to look him in the eye, fearing that this ferocious god would go mad.

"What a bunch of cowards." Xuan Yuan Yi put the Blood Moon Demon Seal into his storage bag.

He seemed completely indifferent to the Blood Moon Demon Seal.

Next, Zhou Yuan, a disciple of Beast Taming Mountain, also made his move.

He stood still and spoke:

"Ayu, break it."

Upon hearing this, the Thunder Roar Beast's eyes gleamed with golden light. It opened its mouth and unleashed a bolt of azure lightning, instantly shattering the demon wolf statue into pieces.

The Thunder Roar Beast leaped over, picked up the Blood Moon Demon Seal in its mouth like a puppy, and returned to present it to Zhou Yuan.

"Great!" Zhou Yuan patted the Thunder Roar Beast's head, then took out a piece of meat radiating spiritual energy from his storage bracelet and fed it to the Thunder Roar Beast.

Xuanyuan Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of apprehension when he saw the azure lightning bolt from the Thunder Roar Beast.

Both of them made their moves, leaving only Wei Wushang in the arena.

"You're all so powerful, forget it, forget it, I can't do it. I can't break this statue, you can have it," Wei Wushang said, waving his hand.

Xuanyuan Yi ignored him and walked directly to the altar, took out the Blood Moon Demon Seal, and released a wisp of its aura.
