A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 1048 Successfully Infiltrated Alien Star Territory
Corner of the underworld.

There is a small realm near the realm channel, called the Magic Stone Realm.

On this day, in this world, a human slave who was ragged, had an ordinary appearance, an ordinary identity, and had no love, hatred, or cause and effect entanglements suddenly had a ray of wisdom in his numb eyes, and then quickly disappeared.

A special spiritual power began to appear in his soul, containing the aura of the sun and electromagnetic energy.

"The Magic Stone World..."

Jiang Ding whispered.

This human slave's name was Zhuzi, he had no surname, and he was at the seventh level of Qi training. He was already dead.

He was not poisoned, nor was he murdered by the jealous steward, nor did he offend any noble lady. He just died suddenly, just like any other ordinary person.

It is normal for a slave who practices a quick success method that destroys his potential and works in a mine every day without any rest to suddenly die. There is nothing strange about it. He is so lowly.

Similarly, there is nothing strange about not dying and being able to live for a while.

Everything was normal and there was nothing suspicious.

Jiang Ding maintained his dying soul, and his body and soul were hidden inside his body through the Shadow Demon Abyss's secret technique, 'The Soul Hiding Technique'.

At this time, the nine Daoists had already quietly arrived at the Jiaoming Realm.

Jiang Ding didn't know where the other Taoists were or where they had gone, and he wasn't interested. He would not allow others to know where he was, so he came to this remote little town.

He didn't plan to do anything for decades, just observe, observe, and observe again, and then make his own plan and implement it.

"The location and information of this small world..."

Jiang Ding fell into deep thought, recalling the information that the Shadow Demon Abyss monk had previously passed on to him.

This small world is called the Magic Stone World.

This small world is owned by the eternally famous Emperor Yanshi, whose name is known throughout the Jiaoming Realm. It is one of the richest small worlds under his command.

This world can produce a large amount of natural treasures for cultivation every year. Especially every thousand years, it can produce a fifth-level material called Star Magic Stone, which is very coveted.

However, the main residents of the Magic Stone World are not from the Horned Demon Emperor clan.

The Horned Demon Emperor clan has a population of only a few hundred million, and they rule over a vast star field, and the vast majority of their members are in the Horned Demon Realm.

The largest number of people here are creatures of various races, as well as the Rock Demon Clan, which is second only to the Horned Demon Emperor Clan and ranks ninth at the top of the "Nine-Class System of Slaves" in the Horned Netherworld. They are close slaves of the Flame Stone Emperor.

The Rock Demon Clan has always regarded themselves as loyal slaves of the Flame Stone Emperor, and are only loyal to the Flame Stone Emperor and his bloodline.

Although they are slaves, their status is actually higher than many real Horned Demon Emperor monks.

Privately, many monks from the Horned Demon Emperor clan would bow humbly when they saw the strong men from the Rock Demon clan.

The Rock Demon Clan treated the people of the Horned Demon Emperor like this, so it goes without saying that they were treated the same way when facing the human-demon clan under their rule.

Many demon monks are more afraid of the Rock Demon Clan than the Horned Demon Emperor Clan.

The center of the Magic Stone World is called the Fire Stone Emperor City. Here is the palace of the Flame Stone Emperor. The Rock Demon Clan lives with the Fire Stone Emperor City as its center. All the strong men in the clan are distributed here to serve the emperor and his descendants.

With the Fire Stone Imperial City as the center, various cities, mountains, and races are scattered in all directions, all kinds of strange and bizarre.

Ten thousand miles east of Huoshi Imperial City, there is a small city on the mountain called Zishi City.

Jiangding is in this area.

Humans, foxes, and various demon races live here. No one cares about the names of these races. Their only role is to mine something called "purple stone ore" in the mines around Purple Stone City and to carve it.

The purple stone mine contains demonic power, and from time to time, human and demon monks fall to the ground and die.

These are insignificant.

The Rock Demon Clan monks' requirement for this place is that they must hand over a sufficient amount of purple stone ore every year. If any tribe fails to complete the task, they will be slaughtered and new ones will be moved in from other places. In order to protect themselves, the human race here, like other races, gathered together to form a force, following a custom that came from nowhere, and called it the Mountain Guarding Sect.

"Zhenshan Sect is very weak..."

Jiang Ding extracts information from this body.

In Zi Shi City, there live dozens of races, sects, families and other forces. The human race is at the end, and the strongest is a cultivator in the early Jindan stage named Zhenren Jianshi.

Zhenren Jianshi was treated much better than ordinary human cultivators. At least he and his disciples and descendants had some time to practice, and they had a large number of wives, concubines and servants, so they did not have to go mining every day.

Yes, even if you are the leader of a sect, you have to mine.

This is because, in the eyes of the Demon Rock Clan and the real rulers, the Horned Demon Emperor Clan, a mere Jindan Zhenren, is just a stronger miner. This is his fate.

The Zhenshan Sect’s strength is at the bottom.

In such a cruel society, this is a rather terrible thing.

The human race in Zhenshan Sect and the surrounding areas for thousands of miles not only have to complete the mining and magic stone carving tasks assigned by the Moyan Clan, but are also forced to complete the tasks assigned by the powerful clans nearby, otherwise they will face the terrible consequences of the monks and even the Jindan descendants disappearing silently.

In recent years, the number of human cultivators and mortals in Zhenshan Sect has continued to decline, and its fate of extinction is almost foreseeable.

The Demon Rock Clan doesn't care about all this, they just want results.

To the Moyan Clan, Zi Shi City is just a wheat field growing minerals. Unless a large-scale disease occurs, they will not care if one or two wheat seedlings are occasionally damaged.

Naturally, if such a thing really happened, the Demon Rock Clan would suppress it with an iron fist and slaughter everyone, regardless of whether they were a strong or weak clan.

Therefore, the powerful tribes around here are more restrained in their actions, with some concerns in their hearts, and it is not a complete case of the survival of the fittest.

"It makes sense that the Zhenshan Sect is so weak."

Jiang Ding sighed.

Human beings are a race that is highly dependent on civilization.

Without civilization, they are not much stronger than the lowest level of demons. Their bodies are fragile, and their spiritual awareness is mediocre. They are basically just walking ants.

No matter how talented, heroic, or virtuous a genius is, without the accumulation of immortal civilization, he or she can do nothing. At most, he or she is just a big ant that is several times stronger than the people around him or her. He or she is useless.

To see the big picture from the small, if the human race in this area, or even in this world, fails to develop immortal civilization by chance, there is a high possibility that they will become extinct as time goes by.

After all, if you want to be a slave of the Horned Demon Emperor, you have to be capable. They don't want just any fool.

The human race faces competition, fighting, open and covert struggles from many slave tribes. If they lose in the competition, they will perish. No race cares about anything.

"These are not enough."

"I need some higher-level intelligence."

Jiang Ding whispered, letting the human slave named Zhuzi work on his own and carve the ore, some of which were according to the behaviors he remembered.

This is a secret technique from the Shadow Demon Abyss.

Ying Moyuan has really developed many excellent immortal achievements in this area. If it weren't for special circumstances, they would never have released them.

Of course, Shadow Demon Abyss did not lose out either.

The Immortal Sect also had to share many of the achievements of the Immortal Path. The monks of Shadow Demon Abyss benefited greatly, with breakthroughs in cultivation, updated magic weapons, and their strength was much stronger than before the exchange with the Nine Immortal Sect.

Jiang Ding sat cross-legged in the pillar's soul, practicing the secret technique of spiritual awareness and exploring the starry sky outside the world.

This secret art of spiritual consciousness is a secret art of the soul and spirit realm jointly developed by the nine major immortal sects. It is used for secret communication between Taoists from outside the realm without fear of being spied on by the immortals.
