Over time, they became completely despairing, even accepting their fate, feeling numb.

"Shut up."

"All you need to do is follow orders."

"Whether I'm deceiving you or not, you have no power to resist."

"Anyone who talks too much will be killed without mercy."

Liu Zhijun said viciously, realizing that sometimes being kind only leads these mortals to take advantage.

At first, he would speak kindly, but later he found it better to maintain a tough attitude.

These mortals were more likely to obey orders, as they had been tamed by the demons.

Any rebellious humans had been eaten, leaving only servants behind.

However, what the Primordial Talisman Sect needed wasn't these broken-spirited mortals.

But their next generation.

Because the next generation hadn't been corrupted by the demons, they were just infants, like blank slates.

Naturally, they wouldn't have fear or psychological shadows concerning the Demon Race.

These people are the future of the Human Race on the Western Continent.

All in all, these rescued mortals are basically used for breeding.

To help the Human Race on the Western Continent flourish and rapidly increase their population.

So he had no expectations of these mortals, as long as they could survive it was enough.

"Yes, my lord."

Upon hearing this, the mortals quieted down significantly, not daring to speak further, each behaving obediently.

They even felt this was the right way, finding it strangely comforting.

As strong beings, how could they possibly speak kindly to them? It had to be hit if they disobeyed and eaten if they dared to resist, which was their fate.

Swish swish swish!!!

Suddenly, massive white spiritual cranes descended from the sky.

Each crane was very large, with wingspans two to three meters, easily carrying dozens of people.

They were Spiritual Cranes tamed by Jiang Fan using the Ten Thousand Beasts Painting.

Originally, they were Demon Cranes living in the Celestial Pine Mountain Range, but after being tamed, they became Spiritual Cranes.

The reason for taming them is because the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm is vast.

If mortals were to walk on their own, they wouldn't know how much time would be wasted.

So taming these Spiritual Cranes as daily transportation can help transport mortals to various places.

Just like a daily bus service.

To date, the Ten Thousand Beasts Painting has tamed over ten thousand Spiritual Cranes, and their numbers are increasing.

"No way, aren't these demons? They won't eat us, will they?"

"It doesn't seem like it, they seem to have been tamed."

"How is that possible? How could we, humans, who are so weak, possibly have the power to tame demons? It's too incredible."

"But the fact is right in front of us, these demons have indeed been tamed, and they're carrying us."

"It's absolutely unbelievable that humans could enslave demons, it seems like the world has turned upside down, could this really be a human territory?"

Many mortals were deeply shaken, their original worldview completely overturned.

They had lived so long but it was the first time they saw humans enslaving demons.

They wouldn't dare to imagine such a thing even in their dreams.

Normally, it's demons enslaving humans, devouring humans, how could such an absurd thing happen?

But no matter what they thought, the Spiritual Cranes flapped their wings and quickly transported these mortals to a city.

This city was located at the foot of a mountain and was called Ten Thousand Beasts City.

It housed hundreds of thousands of people, with buildings constructed within.

Basically, every mortal would have their own house.

After all, the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm is vast and also lacks people, so everyone can be assigned a house.

"You will now reside in Ten Thousand Beasts City."

"Soon someone will come to assign you jobs."

"Someone will also come to test your talents."

"If you have a Spirit Root, you can become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"Even without a Spirit Root, you can practice Martial Arts Techniques to enhance your physical condition."

Liu Zhijun said.

"Yes, my lord."

The mortals looked confused, not knowing what the other party was talking about.

Because for them, these were things they had never experienced before.

But Liu Zhijun didn't explain much.

After all, as long as these mortals could reproduce, he didn't have great expectations.

And the sixteen-year-old Xiao Huo was also assigned his own house.

"Master, are these people malicious, or are they kind-hearted?"

"Is this really our human territory?"

At this time, Xiao Huo thought to himself, speaking to a Secret Treasure within his body.

And this was his biggest secret.

Originally, he was just one of the human livestock kept by the Demon Race, his parents had long been eaten by demons.

He lived in a daze, but unexpectedly, he found a mysterious treasure.

And he even refined this treasure, called the Fire Dragon Tripod, which seemed to come from the Ancient Era.

This treasure also had an Artifact Spirit, who claimed to be the Fire Dragon Daoist, an unfathomable cultivator.

"As it currently seems, these people indeed have good intentions."

"They are probably one of the remaining human forces on this continent."

"Although their strength is ordinary, at most at the Golden Core Level, they actually found a Secret Realm World."

"This can indeed hide from those demons, allowing the Human Race to safely thrive here."

"Your luck is indeed not bad."

"You were just lucky to be saved by human forces, if a little later, you might have been eaten by the Demon Race Cultivator."

"Even if you had good potential, there would be no way to embark on the cultivation path."

The Fire Dragon Tripod said with emotion.

At first, it also felt despair over Xiao Huo's situation.

Starting as the Demon Race's food, it seemed like a dead-end no matter what.

Even if it could activate some of its power, kill many demons, and help him escape.

But that would only mean escaping the area where humans were kept.

The Demon Race would endlessly hunt him down later.

Even if it wanted to help, it couldn't do much, as it hadn't been awake for long and had little power.

Who could have imagined that Xiao Huo's fate would not end, being rescued by a human Golden Core Cultivator.

He returned to a safely controlled area of human power, completely escaping the hopeless situation.

It could only be said that the boy had some destiny, not an early death mark.

"If that's the case, can I join the Primordial Talisman Sect?"

Xiao Huo asked happily upon hearing this.

He had learned many cultivation secrets from the Fire Dragon Tripod.

And knew that humans could also become powerful, mastering extraordinary powers like demons.

Truthfully, he harbored a deep hatred for the Demon Race.

Because his parents and loved ones died at their hands.

They were devoured.

If given a chance, he would certainly seek revenge to avenge his parents.

So he needed to seize this opportunity to gain powerful strength.

"Of course, you can."

"As far as I know, in the Ancient Era, the Primordial Talisman Sect was one of the strongest sects."

"Unexpectedly, after so many years, this sect still exists."

"But likely a sect that inherited a part of its legacy."

"Not sure how much of the original teachings remain."

"But seeing there's a dozen Golden Core Cultivators, it should be decent."

The Fire Dragon Tripod said solemnly.

"If so, can I join this Primordial Talisman Sect?"

"Will they admit me?"

Xiao Huo asked nervously.

He thought if he was rejected by the Primordial Talisman Sect, his cultivation path might end.

This was completely unacceptable to him.

Having been enslaved by the Demon Race, he was incredibly eager for power.

He hated his weakness.

He swore to grow strong and never be that powerless again.

"Rest assured, as long as this Primordial Talisman Sect isn't blind, they won't forsake you."

"After all, you have the potential of a Celestial Spirit Root."

"And possess a Fire Spirit Body."

"Even in the Ancient Era, these were top cultivation potentials."

"No human sect would abandon you."

The Fire Dragon Tripod chuckled, realizing that without such talents, it wouldn't have been refined by him.

A human cultivator of such talent, once grown, would undoubtedly become a Great Power.

"That's good then."

Xiao Huo breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't really understand what a Celestial Spirit Root or Fire Spirit Body meant, but they seemed impressive.

But as long as he could set foot on the path of cultivation, he would be at ease.

He hoped everything would go smoothly and that the Primordial Talisman Sect would accept him.
