Just as Jiang Yun was about to probe his divine consciousness into the earth below, Xiao Wangjie had already arrived with a group of people.

These people were of all ages, and their eyes looked at Jiang Yun with a curious expression.

As Xiao Wangjie pointed out, their village has truly never seen any outsiders.

Leading the way was a man in his fifties, who looked somewhat like Xiao Wangjie.

Standing tall and imposing, with bright eyes and a smiling face, he strode directly to Jiang Yun's presence. He bowed respectfully and said, "Old man Xiao Yun, the village head of this village!"

Originally, Jiang Yun thought that Xiao Wangjie was the village head of Xiao Village, but he didn't expect this old man to be.

However, judging from their appearances, Ginger Cloud could easily tell that the two were father and son.

Jiang Yun glanced at Xiao Yun, acutely catching the few strands of black that flickered in the other's eyes. Coupled with an aura that was even weaker than Xiao Wangjie's, he immediately understood that there was a chronic illness within the other party.

However, Ginger Cloud naturally wouldn't just come straight to the point. He politely returned the greeting and said: "My name is Ginger Cloud. I apologize for the intrusion."

Xiao Yun laughed heartily and said, "It's an honor to have Daoist friends visit our village. There's no such thing as disturbing us. Come, everyone, come and meet Daoist Jiang!"

Thus, that group of people came one after another to greet Jiang Yun, and most of them performed the etiquette of juniors. This really gave Jiang Yun a headache.

After everyone had a chance to meet each other, Xiao Yun waved his hand, signaling the other villagers to leave first. He and his son, along with Jiang Yun, were left under the big tree.

Xiao Yun thanked him again and said, "Thank you, Daoist friend, for saving my grandson's life. If there is anything you need help with, we will do our best!"

"Just lending a helping hand!"

Jiang Yun waved his hand and said, "As a newcomer to this place, I know nothing about it. Therefore, I'd like to inquire about the general situation here."

<>

Xiao Yun didn't hesitate, nodding and saying, "This is simple. Let this old man give you a general idea!"

Under Xiao Yun's narration, Jiang Yun finally had a general understanding of this world.

In terms of environment, this realm and the Shan Hai Realm are not much different.

All have mountains and seas, deserts and forests, and are even divided into the five major regions of east, west, south, north, and center.

This Xiao village is located in the southeast direction of this realm, along with the entire south, collectively known as the Nanzhi Land!

But what surprised Ginger Cloud was — in this realm, there were no sects, only clans!

In short, the vast majority of humans in this world live in groups.

Those who belong to minority groups, or whose own group is weak, will seek to attach themselves to other groups.

Of course, if you are strong enough, then other clans will also come to actively recruit you, such as the offering of Kimura who was killed by Jiang Yun before.

In a nutshell, the cultivation and way of life of this group are much more cohesive than those of a sect, after all, they all share the same bloodline within their bodies.

The drawback is quite obvious: the practice method is extremely monotonous.

Each ethnic group jealously guards its own cultivation methods and spells, never revealing them easily to outsiders.

This resulted in a wide disparity in strength among different ethnic groups, with some being vastly superior to others.

Each clan, besides cultivating the techniques of their own kind, is also constantly seeking various ways to strengthen their own power.

And the most common way is to tame beasts!

Although there are no demons in this realm, various beast species possess different innate talents, resulting in varying levels of strength.

The classification method is very simple, there are only two kinds, ordinary beasts and alien beasts!

The black wolves raised by Xiao Village are simply beasts.

...and creatures like Jiang Yun's Blood Wolf and Golden Gang Demon Ape, the four beasts, according to the standards of this world, are classified as异兽, that is, beast-like creatures with special abilities.

Among the monsters, there are also nine sublevels divided, from level one monster to level nine monster.

Xiao Yun's narration comes to an end here.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue speaking, but rather that he saw Jiang Yun's brows furrowing deeper and deeper as he spoke. This made him a little worried, wondering if there was something wrong with his words, or if he had offended this young yet incredibly powerful fellow cultivator.

Xiao Yun chuckled and shifted the topic, "Daoist Jiang, I see you're young, but your cultivation base should have entered the Entry Dao realm, right?"

Hearing this, Ginger Cloud, who was lost in thought, couldn't help but raise her head abruptly and look at Xiao Yun with a puzzled expression. "Nascent Soul Realm?"

Jiang Yun's reaction also made Xiao Yun stunned and said, "Yes, that Kimura Liu Gongfeng is already at the foundation realm late stage. Junior friend could easily kill him, at least he should be at the Dao Realm!"

Late Foundation, Dao Entering Realm!

These two words, Gingercloud actually understood their meaning.

Baizhe told him that the three realms of Tongmai, Fudi, and Dongtian are called the basic three realms;

And the three realms of Dao Ling, Di Hu, and Tian You are called the Three Realms of Entering the Tao!

But from Xiao Yun's mouth, that Liu Gongfeng's cultivation of the Dongtian Realm directly became the later stage of the foundation realm.

Even if he could easily kill the opponent, he should only be at the Dao Ling realm. But in Xiao Yun's mouth, he became an Entry Realm!

"Could it be that the cultivation realms of this world lack a detailed division of Pulse Conduits, Blessed Lands, and Cave Heaven Realms, and instead directly unify these three realms into the Foundation Realm?"

"The Dao Ling, Di Hu, and Tian You realms are directly classified into the Dao Realm?"

Jiang Yun's heart moved, and he deliberately probed: "Village Chief, you flatter me. I'm only at the foundation stage."

>By the way, I wonder what realm the highest cultivation level has reached on this land of barbarians?

Jiang Yun's answer left Xiao Yun a little surprised, but he still answered truthfully: "The highest is only the late stage of the Dao Entry Realm. As for the Dao Questioning Realm after the Dao Entry Realm, it is just a legend. How could it be so easy to reach!"

Ask the Dao realm!

"Jiang Yun immediately asked Bai Ze, "Bai Ze, after the Foundation Three Realms and Dao Three Realms, is it the Questioning Three Realms?"

However, to his surprise once again, Bai Ze, who had always enjoyed showing off his knowledge, did not respond to his question. He then had to ask Su Yang about it again.

Su Yang immediately gave a positive answer!

Up to this point, Jiang Yun could also be certain that this world's division of cultivation realms was extremely simple, even to the point of being generalized.

There are only three realms: foundation, entering the Dao, and questioning the Dao!

Each major realm is divided into three stages: the early, middle, and late. They correspond to smaller realms within the Shanhai Realm, such as pulse points and blessed lands.

Although Ginger Cloud found this way of dividing things a bit strange, she could accept it.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Yun pointed to the entrance of the valley and said, "I'm quite fond of formation techniques, so I dare to ask, which Daoist friend set up this formation? Could you please introduce them?"

Xiao Yun shook his head with a smile and said, “That's afraid to disappoint you, this formation was not set up by us, but it exists naturally!”

"It was precisely because we discovered this formation that our entire clan moved here. Thanks to the protection of this formation, we have been able to survive to this day!"

Naturally occurring!

Jiang Yun couldn't help but be taken aback, a little surprised.

At this time, Xiao Yun and his father looked at each other, and then Xiao Yun said with a smile on his face: "Seeing that you are also alone, I wonder if you are interested in staying in our Xiao Village?"

"Rest assured, we don't need Daoist Jiang to do anything. We just hope that in the upcoming Beast Fighting Grand Assembly, Daoist Jiang can..."

Before Xiao Yun could finish his words, a familiar screech rang out in Jiang Yun's mind: "Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun, I know, I know what is going on in this world!"
