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

Jiang Shi immediately used the "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique" to transform himself into Xu Jun's appearance.

He possesses Xu Jun's mid-grade magic weapon—eighteen fire-patterned silver rings—and also knows Xu Jun's sect formation, "Sparkling Wilderness Formation."

Even those familiar with Xu Jun couldn't distinguish between the real and the fake.

After the transformation was complete, Jiang Shi continued on his way.

On the way, he carefully explored this third level.

The third level of the stone tower was incredibly hot, with the blazing sun high in the sky constantly radiating its fiery aura.

Jiang Shi looked up at the sky with some curiosity.

The blazing sun hanging in the sky was the most unbelievable thing Jiang Shi had ever seen.

Keep in mind that this is not the outside world. Inside the secret tower, there is such a blazing sun, which is simply unimaginable.

Who is this person capable of doing such a thing? What level of cultivation do they possess?

This is simply a masterpiece!

"Could he be a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?" Jiang Shi muttered to himself.

"It seems this secret realm is even more terrifying than I imagined!"

A Golden Core cultivator is already the overlord of the Canglin region, while a Nascent Soul cultivator is someone you've only ever heard of in stories and ballads.

It is said that such a level of cultivation would affect even low-level cultivators who only have a glimpse of it with their naked eyes.

If one can cultivate to the Golden Core stage or the Nascent Soul stage, then one is no longer an ordinary cultivator.

They live for thousands of years and can use supernatural powers at will.

You could say that those were the true cultivators!

Only those who break through to the Golden Core stage can be called True Persons!

The foundation-building period is the process of establishing a solid foundation, refining oneself, and eliminating falsehoods to preserve truth.

After watching for a while, Jiang Shi sighed and continued on his way.

He had many questions about the tower and the secret realm, but he could only put them aside for the time being.

Just then, Jiang Shi noticed four Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the distance.

Jiang Shi quickly sped up and approached aggressively.

He was very fast and was about to catch up with them. Once he did, Jiang Shi would use swift and decisive methods to kill them all.

He was just short of magical artifacts to practice his cultivation, and these four Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would be enough for him to make a fortune.

As Jiang Shi continued to approach, the four Foundation Establishment stage cultivators became vigilant and prepared to attack at any moment.

Just as Jiang Shi approached, about to make his move.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, it's you." Among the four Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, one dressed in a black and white Daoist robe called out.

This man was none other than the feng shui master, Fu Yunsheng.

"It's fate that we met on this floor. Why don't we all go together and fight the enemy together if we encounter danger?"

Fu Yunsheng spoke up, saying that he said this in order to win over Xu Jun so that he could deal with Jiang Shi.

Of Fu Yunsheng's three companions, one of them happened to have witnessed the battle between Jiang Shi and Xu Jun on the first floor.

He told Fu Yunsheng that he could use Xu Jun's help, since the two of them had a common enemy.

Previously on the second floor, Fu Yunsheng took the lead in trying to harm Jiang Shi, but he did not expect Jiang Shi to be so brave, taking on five Foundation Establishment stage cultivators by himself and killing them all.

This terrified him, as he feared Jiang Shi would retaliate.

Therefore, on this third level, Fu Yunsheng began to intentionally gather manpower to deal with the situation together. As long as there were enough people, even if Jiang Shi was powerful, they would be able to protect themselves.

Just then, they encountered Xu Jun, who was charging at them with a menacing aura. It was clear that Xu Jun's purpose in coming was not pure. Fu Yunsheng spoke up in time, saying that he could win over a powerful enemy, resolve a fierce battle, and also add a great cultivator to his side. Why not?

Fu Yunsheng had no idea that the Fellow Daoist Xu in front of him was not himself, but the God of Slaughter he wanted to oppose.

"That works too. In that case, let's move forward together."

Jiang Shi thought to himself that killing these four people would not be difficult. He glanced at them and, based on his sixth sense, knew that they were just ordinary cultivators and not disciples from powerful factions.

Killing them would be easy, but it would also be beneficial for Jiang Shi to use them first and take the opportunity to conceal his identity.

After all, in this third level, the sun is blazing overhead, and the air is filled with fire-type spiritual energy, which carries a yang-fiery aura, making cultivation impossible.

In this situation, Jiang Shi's superior-grade magic artifact, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, is of little use and can no longer provide him with any assistance.

If we encounter disciples from powerful factions again, having more people will be advantageous.

As for Fu Yunsheng, there will be plenty of opportunities to kill him.

After Jiang Shi finished speaking, Fu Yunsheng smiled with satisfaction.

Fu Yunsheng was proficient in the art of observing qi, and theoretically, he could see through Jiang Shi's "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique".

However, Jiang Shi had already cultivated this technique to perfection, and even Fu Yunsheng, the feng shui master, could only see through the killing intent emanating from Jiang Shi.

However, Xu Jun was also a Tribulation Cultivator, and his body was filled with a heavy killing intent.

This prevented Fu Yunsheng from seeing through Jiang Shi's identity.

Ordinary people would never imagine the existence of the "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique".

"Very good, very good. With Fellow Daoist Xu joining us today, we have nothing to worry about."

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Xu, you can choose from all the rare and precious materials and spoils obtained on this third level."

Fu Yunsheng is a seasoned veteran; he proactively offered some benefits, because a stable cooperation is impossible without them.

"Master Fu, you're too kind," Jiang Shi said expressionlessly.

The character Xu Jun, whom he plays, is a ruthless cultivator, so naturally he wouldn't be too gentle.

"Perfect timing! According to my calculations, there's a strange aura about a spot not far ahead. There must be some rare and precious treasures there." Fu Yunsheng demonstrated his abilities to Xu Jun, pointing ahead.

Jiang Shi was very satisfied upon hearing this.

He spent his time alone in fighting and killing.

They haven't thoroughly explored this secret place at all.

Those rare and precious materials have all been obtained by others.

Jiang Shi didn't get anything at all.

It just so happens that he lacks the five elemental spiritual items. If Fu Yunsheng can act as his guide and help him reap rich rewards, Jiang Shi wouldn't mind giving Fu Yunsheng a way out later.

Of course, this is on the premise that Fu Yunsheng stops targeting him.

If he dares to cause trouble again, Jiang Shi won't hold back!

Led by Fu Yunsheng, the five flew forward.

Along the way, we didn't encounter anyone else and quickly arrived at our destination.

Everyone was suspended in the air, looking down together.

A large rock in the desert.

Half of it is exposed, and the other half is buried deep underground.

Fu Yunsheng took out a compass and muttered incantations. The compass carried a mysterious aura and was quite extraordinary. It seemed to be a high-grade magic artifact.

Soon, Fu Yunsheng put away the compass and addressed the crowd:

"Fellow Daoists, the treasure is under this large rock; it should be an earth-elemental spiritual object."

"However, this place is rich in Yang energy, so it may be a rare and precious natural treasure with Yang energy."

Upon hearing the words "Yang Flame Qi," everyone present was immediately intrigued.
