The Gengjin Divine Light was extremely fast, and in an instant, it pierced through the body of a demonic bird puppet.

Furthermore, Jiang Shi had already secretly used the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of Demonic Source" to discover the location of the demonic source within these demonic birds.

Therefore, the golden divine light pierced not only the body of the demon bird, but also the demonic source within it.

After its demonic source was shattered, the demonic bird's body began to burn and quickly turned to ashes and disappeared.

After the demonic bird disappeared, the other two demonic birds were also killed on the spot by Jiang Shi using Gengjin Divine Light.

While Jiang Shi was fighting the demonic bird, Xuan Yuan Yi was exuding a bloody aura. He charged into the demonic puppet horde and fought alongside the demonic wolf puppets and demonic snake puppets.

Although Xuanyuan Yi was seriously injured by Wei Wushang.

Even though he was injured, he was no match for these dozen or so demonic puppets. He quickly smashed them into pieces, extracted the demonic source, and eliminated them all.

After killing all the demonic puppets, Xuan Yuan Yi, his body radiating bloodlust, killing intent, and malevolent energy, walked towards Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi looked up at Xuan Yuan Yi. The man's aura was terrifying; even though he was seriously injured, he was still frightening.

However, Jiang Shi was not intimidated by Xuan Yuan Yi's imposing manner; instead, he focused his attention elsewhere.

Xuan Yuan Yi carried bloodlust, killing intent, and malevolent energy. These three auras were probably the cultivation energy of the three ferocious beasts in the "Three Fiends Suppressing Prison Technique".

Blood energy represents the Crimson Blood Kui Ox, while the other two, killing intent and malevolent energy, each represent a ferocious beast.

"Your killing intent is quite good, and your metal-based spells are also very well executed," Xuan Yuan Yi said to Jiang Shi with great appreciation.

Jiang Shi had been using the "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique" to conceal his killing intent until he unleashed the Gengjin Divine Light just now, revealing only a trace of it.

However, Xuan Yuan Yi used killing intent to practice his skills and condensed the phantom of a ferocious beast, so he was naturally extremely sensitive to this killing intent.

Even a slight glimpse was noticed by Xuan Yuan Yi, who then walked over and said these words to Jiang Shi.

"If you're interested, you can come to the Western Desert and join my Xuanyuan clan," Xuanyuan Yi said, showing that he valued Jiang Shi's killing intent.

Within the Xuanyuan clan, such murderous intent was enough to gain recognition and qualify one to cultivate one of the three fierce techniques of the "Three Fiends Suppressing Prison Technique".

The Xuanyuan clan, although their main surname is Xuanyuan, does not have Xuanyuan in their bloodline, but rather it is a surname inherited and bestowed upon them.

Even outsiders, as long as they have enough talent, can join the Xuanyuan clan by passing the test. Those who perform well can participate in the sacrificial rites and be granted the surname Xuanyuan.

Xuanyuan Yi is an example; his original surname was not Xuanyuan.

This is one of the reasons why, in the second level, Xuan Yuan Yi did not make things difficult for Jiang Shi after sensing Jiang Shi's killing intent.

The Geng metal divine light and killing intent that Jiang Shi is now exuding have made Xuan Yuan Yi recognize him as the same person he met in the second level.

Only then did he extend an invitation to Jiang Shi, inviting him to join the Xuanyuan clan.

Jiang Shi was stunned for two seconds by Xuan Yuan Yi's invitation.

He hadn't expected to be invited by Xuan Yuan Yi.

However, after a moment's thought, Jiang Shi did not refuse outright.

"Thank you for the invitation, Brother Xuanyuan. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit the Western Desert," Jiang Shi said gratefully.

After Jiang Shi finished speaking, Xuan Yuan Yi nodded, took out a wolf tooth, and handed it to Jiang Shi.

"This is a token of my Xuanyuan clan. If you give it to any shopkeeper in the Western Desert, they will send someone to bring you to my Xuanyuan clan," Xuanyuan Yi said.

The Xuanyuan Clan is one of the top powers in the Western Desert. Apart from Pudu Temple, which is also one of the ten major sects in the Western Desert, the Xuanyuan Clan is the most powerful.

That's why Xuanyuan Yi dared to say those words.

Jiang Shi accepted the wolf fang without saying anything more and put it into his storage bag.

Whether or not I go to the Western Desert in the future, it's never a bad thing to be on good terms with Xuan Yuan Yi.

After spending some time with the disciples of these powerful forces, Jiang Shi discovered that Xuan Yuan Yi was actually quite easy to get along with.

Although Xuanyuan Yi looks fierce and menacing, a fearsome figure.

But in reality, as long as his strength is recognized by Xuan Yuan Yi, he is still worth befriending.

Meanwhile, disciples from other powerful factions, including the Liu family of the South China Sea, were arrogant and looked down on ordinary cultivators.

Wei Wushang, a member of the Zhongzhou aristocratic family, is an extremely eccentric person. Anyone who associates with him is always on tenterhooks, as no one knows exactly how many problems he has.

Zhou Yuan, a disciple of the Beast Taming Mountain, one of the ten major sects, seems to be the easiest to get along with, but in fact he is the most difficult.

He does have some righteous conduct, but the disciples of Beast Taming Mountain prefer to spend time with their own spirit beasts and dislike being close to people.

"Brother Xuanyuan, do you know how to escape the secret realm and return to where we came from?" Jiang Shi asked Xuanyuan Yi.

"There are limitations to the secret realm. No one can stay there for long unless they are the master of the secret realm. You and I just need to wait, and we will be able to leave the secret realm naturally," Xuan Yuan Yi said.

Upon hearing what Xuan Yuan Yi said, Jiang Shi suddenly realized what was going on.

"This secret realm can be considered a small world, not our own cultivation world. Since we've come here, we'll naturally be restricted and won't be able to stay for too long," Xuan Yuan Yi explained to Jiang Shi, seeing that he didn't know much about secret realms and clearly lacked experience in exploring them.

"Besides the cultivation world we live in, there are countless smaller worlds. Some are as small as this secret realm, while others are so large that they even contain living beings, such as humans."

"These small worlds are intricately intertwined with the cultivation world. Some have been refined by cultivators and used as their residences or places of inheritance. Others have had teleportation arrays built for them, allowing people to travel freely between them."

"More than three thousand of these diverse and unique little worlds have been discovered in total."

Xuanyuan Yi said a lot of things, all of which were information that could not be obtained in the Canglin region.

Or perhaps, the three major sects have records of it, but Jiang Shi, being a menial servant, is not qualified to access these things.

"Thank you, Brother Xuanyuan, for imparting your knowledge and resolving my doubts," Jiang Shi said respectfully, his gratitude this time coming from the bottom of his heart.

The fact that Xuanyuan Yi could say so much to him could already be considered a favor.

"No need to thank me, it's nothing. Oh, and there's one more thing to remind you: don't use all of the Blood Moon Demon Seals. Save one for your next trip to this secret realm."

Xuanyuan Yi reminded him again.

Some secret realms have restrictions. For example, this second-grade intermediate secret realm can only be entered by mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and early-stage Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

The Blood Moon Demon Seal originated from here. As long as you have the Blood Moon Demon Seal, you can enter this place without any restrictions.

Even if Jiang Shi later breaks through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, he can still enter freely.

Jiang Shi nodded; this matter was indeed quite important to him.
