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

In Biluo Valley, a powerful cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage held a thin rope in his hand, the end of which was tied to a ragged, emaciated man.

The man lay on the ground, breathing weakly, like a walking corpse.

This person was none other than Liu Yue of the Liu family. In just two short days, Liu Yue had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable.

The cultivation techniques practiced in Biluo Valley are even more terrifying than demonic arts.

"Young lady, we've come here today for the Misty Mansion. We need your cooperation, or you'll know what Biluo Valley is capable of," Shangguan Xiu of Biluo Valley threatened.

Not only him, but also the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from Lingxu Sect and Qingyun Sect who came from the side looked at Lin Yanyi with threatening expressions.

"Nephew Lin, the higher-ups have given orders that you need to cooperate with us. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, I can't protect you."

The person from Qingyun Sect was an elder in the early Foundation Establishment stage named Ma Chengyuan.

"I've told you everything I needed to tell you." Lin Yanyi showed no fear in the face of the threat.

The three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators also realized that Lin Yanyi was not lying.

But they were given a strict order to find that place. A misty mansion appeared out of nowhere, indicating that there was a secret realm there.

The mansion in the secret realm must be a treasure passed down from our ancestors.

Moreover, it is very likely the residence left behind by a Golden Core stage cultivator, where there may be not only mysterious scriptures, but also spiritual objects related to Core Formation.

This is why these Foundation Establishment stage cultivators are so concerned.

Once the secret realm truly opens, these Foundation Establishment cultivators will be the first to enter and investigate.

Once it is confirmed that there is indeed a Core Formation Spiritual Object inside, the important figures from the three major sects will all be mobilized.

Perhaps even a Golden Core cultivator will come.

This market town for independent cultivators has become a place of great interest to everyone.

After confirming that there was no way to find the secret realm, the three major sects sent people to be stationed in the market town for rogue cultivators, keeping watch day and night.

Jiang Shi, meanwhile, was still diligently cultivating in the canyon.

Having already broken through to the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, he worked hard to consolidate his cultivation.

Three days have passed, and Lin Yanyi has not returned yet. She is unable to leave the market town where she is staying.

Not only her, but Liang Yunlei and the group of outer disciples who entered the secret realm back then were also sent over.

In order to enter the secret realm, none of them could leave this place. They had to stay there day and night to cooperate in various experiments.

"Senior, have you not yet emerged from seclusion?" Liu Xueyao asked Liu Yujing as she entered Jiang Shi's courtyard.

Liu Yujing shook her head and replied, "He hasn't come out since that seclusion."

Now the two were certain that Jiang Shi was indeed a hermit.

The two women breathed a sigh of relief; serving a hermit wouldn't cause too much trouble.

Since Lin Yanyi left, the two of them have been alone with Jiang Shi, and they are still a little scared.

In retrospect, there was no need to be afraid.

"I just don't know where Master Lin went, and why he hasn't come back yet?" Liu Xueyao was very worried about why her master hadn't returned for three days.

Just then, a mysterious mist drifted over and enveloped the entire canyon.

"It's the mist!" Liu Yujing shouted shrilly.

A few days ago, when the fog enveloped the market town of rogue cultivators, although they did not enter, they understood how dangerous the fog was.

"Go call the senior!" Liu Xueyao hurriedly ran over and knocked on Jiang Shi's door.

The isolation formation set up by Jiang Shi was triggered by Liu Xueyao, and he immediately stopped cultivating and woke up.

"It seems something has happened, otherwise they wouldn't dare to disturb my cultivation." Jiang Shi understood the seriousness of the matter.

He quickly got up, pushed open the door, and came out.

Jiang Shi frowned when he saw that the entire valley was shrouded in mist.

Could it be that the mastermind is about to make a move this time? Otherwise, why would the mystery reappear in just a few days?

"Senior, what should we do?" Liu Yujing said anxiously.

"Go into my room and don't leave!" Jiang Shi ordered.

There was an isolation array he had set up inside the room, which could block the fog for a period of time.

However, he didn't hide inside; what's meant to be will be.

This calamity of the demonic path may be related to him; whether he enters the game or not is no longer up to him.

After arranging for the two to hide in the room, Jiang Shi stepped into the fog.

They began searching for a teleportation array.

A demonic wolf approached Jiang Shi and launched an attack on him using the mist as cover.

After Jiang Shi cultivated the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demonic Source", he became extremely familiar with this demonic wolf.

He spotted the wolf as soon as it got close.

"Freeze!" Jiang Shi tapped his index finger, activating the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demonic Source" to freeze the demonic wolf for three seconds.

With three seconds to prepare, Jiang Shi took out two Magic Sources from his storage bag.

Driven by Jiang Shi's magic, the demonic source began to grow wildly.

Soon, the demonic wolf broke free, but at that moment, Jiang Shi also summoned his two demonic wolves.

Under Jiang Shi's control, the two demonic wolves began to fight and bite the other demonic wolf.

The two-on-one fight quickly gained the upper hand, and then, with Jiang Shi's help, its body was torn to pieces.

Jiang Shi fully activated the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of Demonic Source," sensing the core of demonic source within the scattered flesh and blood on the ground.

Soon, his gaze locked onto a piece of flesh that resembled a heart.

"This is it!" Jiang Shi channeled his magic power, and flames condensed in his hand, forming a flaming longsword.

Jiang Shi forcefully threw the flaming longsword in his hand and locked onto the target with his spiritual sense.

The sword pierced through the wolf's demonic source.

After the source of the demon was quickly destroyed, the flesh and blood fragments on the ground turned to ashes.

With the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demon Source", killing a demon wolf was very easy for him.

Having achieved his goal, Jiang Shi walked forward.

He didn't see a pair of eyes staring at him from the corner.

"They've actually mastered the 'True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demonic Source'!" Manager Lin exclaimed in disbelief.

"Even knowing about this child's terrifying comprehension, I never expected that he could succeed in cultivation simply by relying on a passage of scripture."

Manager Lin also practiced the "True Scripture of Universal Transformation of the Demonic Source," but he was able to master it because of a secret technique passed down by the Lin family.

In his eyes, Jiang Shi was someone who had achieved his success through sheer talent and hard work.

"Truly unparalleled comprehension."

His daughter already possessed an exceptional level of comprehension, one in a thousand, but he never expected that someone could be even more extraordinary than her.

This is beyond the description of genius; it's downright monstrous.

"It's just a pity that you have to be sacrificed for Yan Yi's foundation building!"

Manager Lin's gaze grew increasingly cold as he stared intently at Jiang Shi, his murderous aura permeating the mist.

Jiang Shi didn't notice that Steward Lin was following him. He walked for about two hours and then saw a light ahead.

Then, with practiced ease, he stepped into the teleportation array.
