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

Among the remaining fifty-odd Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, there are definitely some who have concealed their identities and strength.

These three brocade-clad cultivators have already openly revealed their identities.

Anyone could tell that these three people were no ordinary individuals.

Not only these three, but there were even more deeply hidden figures among that group of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Regardless of who they are or what powerful forces they come from.

As long as he doesn't provoke him, Jiang Shi doesn't need to pay any attention to him for the time being.

In front of all the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, Jiang Shi put the Blood Moon Demon Seal into his storage bag.

None of these great cultivators had any objections, and none of them even considered seizing the Blood Moon Demon Seal.

At this point, all three monster statues had been dealt with, but Jiang Shi did not retract the Water-Stabilizing Pearl. Instead, he continued to channel his magic power to maintain the state of separating the pool to the left and right.

Jiang Shi had already discovered that at the bottom of the pool, there was an altar sitting on the silt.

This altar is exactly the same as the altar on the first level of the stone tower.

It is clearly an altar used to open the stone gate to the third level.

Those fifty-odd great cultivators were willing to give Jiang Shi a mid-grade spirit stone, even if they couldn't obtain the Blood Moon Demon Seal at all.

The reason for this is that the altar is underwater, and they need Jiang Shi to use water-stabilizing beads to separate the pool.

This mid-grade spirit stone is the toll.

Jiang Shi maintained the water-stabilizing bead, and without him having to do anything, Xuan Yuan Yi landed on the altar first.

He activated the altar with the Blood Moon Demon Seal in his hand, and a stone door slowly rose and opened.

The stone gate leading to the next level had opened, and Xuan Yuan Yi was the first to jump through it, heading towards the third level.

"Fellow Daoist, see you on the next level." Zhou Yuan said to Jiang Shi, then, along with the Thunder Roar Beast, transformed into a bolt of lightning and fell into the stone gate, disappearing from sight.

After they left, Wei Wushang also came over and said to Jiang Shi:

"If you change your mind and want to sell this Water-Stabilizing Pearl, remember to come find me on the first floor," Wei Wushang said, looking at the Water-Stabilizing Pearl with great reluctance.

If others saw this, they would think it was a family separation.

"Ah, what a pity. I've been eating too dry food lately, and I'm having trouble pooping. If I could swallow this water-stabilizing droplet, it would definitely help lubricate my intestines and relieve me completely." Wei Wu mumbled through his wound, and no one could hear what he was saying.

After saying that, Wei Wushang jumped into the stone gate without looking back and disappeared.

After the three disciples from powerful factions left, the other fifty-odd Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the arena remained motionless.

Some of the powerful cultivators on the upper level who rashly rushed to enter the stone gate died.

No one can be sure whether they will offend certain people if they rush in first.

"Let's go," said the leader of the brocade-clad cultivators.

"Yes, cousin."

The three brocade-clad cultivators flew down and leaped into the stone gate.

"These three look somewhat familiar. I feel like I've seen them somewhere before?" A Foundation Establishment cultivator in the crowd said with some doubt.

"You know what, it's true. These three are definitely not ordinary people; they must come from some powerful force."

The crowd began to discuss and speculate about the origins of the three individuals.

Just then, Fu Yunsheng spoke up:

"These three should be members of the Liu family in the South China Sea."

"Yes, they are members of the Liu family. I am from the South China Sea, and I had the honor of meeting these three people three years ago." As soon as Fu Yunsheng finished speaking, a Foundation Establishment cultivator quickly chimed in.

"The Liu family of the South China Sea, the Xuanyuan clan of the Western Desert, the Wei family of the Central Continent, and the Beast Taming Mountain, one of the ten major sects. This small second-grade secret realm has attracted so many disciples from powerful forces this time. Could it be related to this demonic puppet?"

"Don't say anything more, hurry up and go to the next floor," Jiang Shi said.

Seeing that the group of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were still in no hurry to leave and were discussing things, he quickly shouted loudly.

You should know that he is constantly using his magic to maintain the water droplet, which consumes a lot of magic power.

If Jiang Shi hadn't possessed the aptitude of five spiritual roots, making his magical power far greater than that of ordinary people, and his recovery ability was also astonishing due to the convergence and mutual generation of the five elements, anyone else would have had their magical power drained long ago.

Even so, it's impossible to keep going like this indefinitely. Although this high-grade magic artifact, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, is powerful, it also consumes an enormous amount of magical power.

Upon hearing Jiang Shi's words, the scene immediately quieted down, and some Foundation Establishment stage cultivators showed displeasure.

However, due to Jiang Shi's strength and the fact that Jiang Shi was still needed to maintain the waterway, no one dared to say anything more.

Some Foundation Establishment stage cultivators stopped wasting time and began to pass through the stone gate to the third level.

In the crowd, a masked person who was hiding his identity caught Jiang Shi's attention.

Although this person looked ordinary, Jiang Shi felt that he was very dangerous.

Jiang Shi secretly observed without paying attention.

However, even just observing in secret caught that person's attention.

The great cultivator noticed Jiang Shi peeking at him.

"The fact that this person could detect me shows that they have extraordinary spiritual insight."

"His spiritual awareness is extraordinary, his killing intent is considerable, and his offensive capabilities are quite good. He seems to be a promising talent. If he survives this secret realm, I might consider making contact with him."

He thought to himself, and then, without making a sound, he quietly disappeared into the crowd, entered the stone gate, and headed to the third level.

After that person left, Jiang Shi felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

When Jiang Shi was secretly observing him just now, it seemed that he had been discovered. Just one glance made Jiang Shi feel a chill in his heart.

This person's killing intent is even stronger and more terrifying than that of Xuan Yuan Yi!

This is absolutely the most terrifying cultivator Jiang Shi has ever encountered since he entered the world of cultivation!

This was only because the other party's action was unintentional. If this person were targeting him, Jiang Shi would probably run away immediately if they just gave him a look.

"It seems I need to hurry up and practice the 'Gold Chewing Technique'," Jiang Shi thought to himself.

The only way to quickly improve his strength now is through the "Gold-Chewing Technique".

Jiang Shi needs to quickly cultivate it to its peak.

The fifty-odd Foundation Establishment stage cultivators quickly entered the stone gate and left.

This time, no great cultivators chose to stay. Jiang Shi's previous victory against five opponents was enough to instill fear in the vast majority of ordinary great cultivators.

The remaining powerful cultivators were also unwilling to cause any unnecessary trouble at this time.

After all, Jiang Shi is no pushover. Even if he can't win, he can escape with the Water-Stabilizing Pearl and remain invincible.

After sending all the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators away.

Jiang Shi, however, did not leave.

With a wave of his hand, the azure water-stabilizing bead flew back and landed in Jiang Shi's hand, which he then put into his storage bag.

Jiang Shi sat cross-legged on the water, floating on the surface, intending to begin his seclusion.

The further you go, the more dangerous it may become. It's better to cultivate on the second level first.
