The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 156 Meng Qiewei: Choosing a Direct Heir for Him?
Jiang Man colluded with an evil god.

Upon hearing those words, Yu Wanyi felt like she was doomed.

I thought we were taking refuge here, but now it seems like we've walked into the lion's den.

If her investment targets are colluding with evil gods, then she, as an investor, will likely be questioned.

Not so good.

But does a prodigy like Jiang Man need to collude with an evil god?

Besides, he already has a fairy godmother as his partner, so there's no need for him to collude with her.

His expression didn't seem like that of someone who would submit to an evil god.

Therefore, we can draw the following conclusion.

This woman had a grudge against Jiang Man.

Ren Qian looked at Huo Bingzhi and asked, "Besides Jiang Man, are there any other people?"

“There aren’t any for now, but I can go out and continue searching; I have the ability to do so,” Huo Bingzhi said.

"Then why didn't you say so from the beginning?" Ren Qian asked.

Huo Bingzhi said earnestly, "Because I believe you are definitely capable of finding out the truth."

Ren Qian nodded, then had someone take Huo Bingzhi away.

"Why are you taking me away again? I've already reported the evil god's subordinate, why can't you clear my name? I have evidence, I didn't lie, I have ways to prove he colluded with the evil god," Huo Bingzhi shouted.

Then he was taken away.

Yu Wanyi looked at Ren Qian and said, "Senior brother, I think there's a misunderstanding."

“There is no misunderstanding.” Ren Qian looked at Yu Wanyi calmly and said, “Jiang Man did indeed collude with the evil god.”

Yu Wanyi paused for a moment, then said, "I think I should go out first and not stay here."

Ren Qian: "."

-

Jiang Man had already returned to his residence.

His injuries were more severe than expected.

If it hadn't been tempered with a hundred-refinement stone.

I'm afraid they really won't be able to break through the darkness.

The body could hardly support it.

In other words, to achieve the Golden Core, one needs sufficiently strong overall strength.

Physical body, spirit, and cultivation are all indispensable.

Jiang Man recalled what the old ox had said: to cultivate a series of techniques and then integrate them to reach the ultimate level.

Then we need to learn the promotion method.

All that's missing now is the Seven Star Body Refining Technique.

I don't know when I'll get it, especially if it's not available in subsequent competitions.

It can only be purchased with Spiritual Essence.

For a moment, Jiang Man felt that the remaining 30,000 spirit resources were not enough.

Afterwards, Jiang Man began to recuperate, but she would still take out books to study.

Naturally, one should learn the greatsword technique.

Now he has a spirit sword and has also learned sword control techniques.

The rest is greatsword technique.

Although it cannot engage in magical combat, it can carry cattle and fly.

It's so convenient to run away with the old ox now.

In just two days, Jiang Man recovered considerably.

His physical and mental strength allowed him to recover faster.

But Ji Hao told him that it would be best to learn some recovery techniques.

Especially those spells that can heal themselves, which can slowly recover from serious injuries.

So that they won't be unable to save themselves from serious injuries when no one is around.

It also allows them to return to cultivation more quickly, thus widening the gap between themselves and others.

Jiang Man naturally listened and then inquired about the price of such a technique.

I learned that even those who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage were not included, and those who had reached the Golden Core stage were extremely expensive.

He felt that as long as one was strong enough and not seriously injured, such techniques were a complete waste.

However, on the second day of his rest, Jiang Man suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

He instantly connected with the True Martial Arts, and a red sun appeared and disappeared behind him.

He can attack directly with secret techniques as long as the opponent makes any move.

It takes time to communicate with the True Martial Arts, and I don't know if there will be enough time.

However.
The knocking came quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

After Jiang Man activated the True Martial Technique, he opened the door.

There was a box in front of the door.

This surprised him greatly.

in the room.

The box was opened remotely, and Jiang Man found a statue and a letter inside.

The statue depicts a young girl with her eyes covered by a light veil, her face showing compassion.

She stood there, one hand reaching out as if to grasp at nothingness, chasing after something.

Jiang Man frowned; the statue was quite strange.

I don't know what its purpose is.

But I didn't perceive anything.

He then took out the envelope and looked at it.

It reads: I know you are the chosen one of the immortals. Now the immortals need your power and will bring you power. When you are desperate and powerless, you can shed your blood on the immortals and they will pave the way for you.

Jiang Man pondered for a long time and then understood something.

The immortal spirit is an evil god.

"So it seems they know I've been in contact with the evil god. Why is that? Is there a traitor? Or do they notify their subordinates as soon as they come into contact with the evil god?"

Jiang Man felt the latter was more likely.

He then touched the statue, which activated the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books.

The book finally comes to its last page.

The text then appeared.

[A dream token created by a special being to prolong its life. This token allows a person to enter a corresponding dream after falling asleep. The method is worth mentioning, but not worthy of being recorded.]

Special creatures?

It's probably an evil god.

Something that can only be triggered while sleeping is definitely trash.

Jiang Man found Mr. Yan immediately.

The latter stared at the object in silence for a long time, sensing that things had gone astray.

This shouldn't be something that the instructors of the Seven Peaks of the Outer Sect would encounter.

Jiang Man fully recovered in the following seven days.

Moreover, they have also fought against evil and heretical forces.

They were a group of ancient cultivators with numerous methods and coordinated formations among themselves, so even he had to be careful when dealing with them.

In addition, Jiang Man learned from Mr. Yan that the youngest of these people was in their fifties or sixties.

Some with higher cultivation levels even lived past one hundred years old.

Therefore, the fight became somewhat difficult. They used the formation to fuse power, enabling them to unleash power surpassing that of their peers.

It's not a big deal if you can't take down three opponents of the same level immediately.

While explaining these things, Mr. Yan muttered to himself, "Is it really that strange that I can't defeat three people of the same age who are over a hundred years old in one go? Why am I explaining this to you?"

This time, Jiang Man roughly understood the magnitude of the impact of the Great Rejuvenation of the Immortal Sect.

According to the time given by the sect.

He began cultivating at the age of sixteen, entered the sect at nineteen, then entered the Foundation Establishment Academy after one year, and became an inner disciple after ten years.

All in all, there is a group of people who can condense the Golden Core by the age of thirty.

This demonstrates just how valuable the Immortal Sect's Great Governance is.

Of course, even within sects, many people remain at the Foundation Establishment stage due to intense competition.

But at least there are more options. With so many minor skills, as long as you have talent in one, you can basically advance to the Golden Core stage.

Because of the success in the minor studies, one earns more spiritual energy.

.

The last seven days passed quickly, and the Seventh Hospital did not participate much.

I only experienced the continuous, deafening roar of power.

They exchanged a few blows on the edge of the area before retreating.

Seven days have passed.

Then we had to leave.

How long the battle here will continue is none of their concern.

Their arrival did not change anything.

When they returned, they were seen off by Chen Yu, one of the stewards.

He said the fighting here would end soon because the competition was also coming to an end.

A group of Golden Core cultivators will join them then, and the evil forces won't be fools; they'll quickly back down. Jiang Man thought about it and agreed.

Moreover, those people are most likely to achieve their goals soon.

After that, the group entered the formation.

They disappeared completely from the archipelago.

As everyone disappeared, Chen Yu lowered his brows.

“This Jiang Man is quite extraordinary, but advancing to the Golden Core stage is a hurdle for him. He could easily be discovered by the sect, and once discovered, he will be ruined.”

"If he can be used by me, I can try to help him; if not..."

"The only thing we can do is to get him noticed by the sect. Someone has to step in and make a public appearance eventually."

He's waiting, waiting for the next crucial moment to be transferred back, and then testing the waters with the other party.

If it's useful, we can make some plans; if not, then we can only become his pawns.

Sacrifice the other party to achieve your own goals.

No matter how much a person struggles, they will become a pawn, either their own or the sect's.

Mist Cloud Sect.

Upon returning, Jiang Man felt as if the fish had returned to the water.

Everyone looked utterly captivated.

Then everyone activated their techniques, and their aura burst forth.

It's much more robust than before.

Mr. Yan gave a few instructions, and everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this before quickly leaving.

I need to buy elixirs to further consolidate my cultivation.

Now the body can clearly absorb more power.

Don't miss it!

Even Jiang Man immediately purchased twenty Spirit-Strengthening Pills.

He started cultivating as soon as he got back, without even having time to say hello to the old ox.

fifteen days later.

January 1st.

Jiang Man's spirit spread, and a gust of wind swept through the entire courtyard.

The old ox raised its eyebrows slightly, looking at Jiang Man with his eyes closed, without much surprise.

More of a numbness.

At this moment, Jiang Man took a deep breath and quickly concealed his aura.

The eighth level of spirit.

Only one final step is needed to reach the pinnacle.

If it weren't for the superior visualization method combined with the Hundred Refinement Stone, plus special training, this amount of pills would not be enough for advancement.

"Old Huang, long time no see," Jiang Man said with a smile.

The old ox glanced at Jiang Man casually and said, "I didn't expect you to be so polite, especially since you came back injured."

Jiang Man was taken aback and asked, "Not fully recovered yet?"

He investigated and found that with the advancement, the spiritual star had dimmed once again.

It's true that it's not completely cured.

This injury is quite serious.

Afterwards, Jiang Manjiu told the old ox about his experience and trials.

"Ji Hao is stronger than you think," the old ox said.

Jiang Man was not surprised; Meng Qiewei's strength was obvious to all.

He would be surprised if Ji Hao said he was weak.

"Furthermore, the fact that he didn't rush to take action despite all these incidents, and that you were all unharmed, shows that he had already seen through everything, and that all the accidents were intentionally tolerated by him."

"It can even allow you to leave the Seven-Colored Realm unaffected."

"He can handle many situations and can intervene at any time."

"This shows that while possessing great strength, one is also capable of managing the overall situation."

"These types of people tend to be calm and composed."

He tested you once, but that may not have dispelled his suspicions.

"If given the chance, he might test you a second time."

Be careful.

Jiang Man hadn't considered these things; it was indeed very dangerous.

What he fears most now is being found by Meng Qiewei.

There's no way of knowing what will happen.

The opponent was too strong, so we had to hide in the shadows.

"The place you encountered is the domain of an evil god. It's not something you can break through easily. If your body couldn't handle it at the time, then something unexpected might have happened," the old ox warned.

Jiang Man nodded and remarked, "Looks like I'm lucky."

"You're expanding. If it happens again, will you burst again?" the old ox asked.

"Of course I will," Jiang Man said while cooking for herself. "He wants to imprison my body and lock away my thoughts, how could I just surrender?"

"It's very dangerous," the old ox said.

Jiang Man casually said as he lit a fire to boil water, "I certainly won't resist the cage of power; I need to wait patiently to become stronger. As for the cage of the mind, it's still uncertain who will avoid whose edge."

Old Huang looked at Jiang Man and said, "You're young and impetuous."

“It’s just youthful impetuosity, Lao Huang, you’re getting old,” Jiang Man said, looking at Lao Huang.

Old Huang fell silent.

It does not deny Jiang Man's talent, but also feels that the other party cannot be measured by common sense.

But once you start interacting with strong individuals, you need to temper your brilliance.

After all, the outer sect and the evil god's side are not the same.

The former proceeds gradually, while the latter is unpredictable.

Afterwards, Jiang Man ate some brown rice and smiled at Lao Huang, saying, "Lao Huang, I know what you're worried about, but I'm the most unique prodigy you've ever met."

After a pause, Jiang Man added, "Remember to put extra protective gear on me to prevent Ji Hao from finding out."

This is the most important thing.

While Jiang Man was still eating, Chang Qiwen appeared at the entrance of his courtyard.

He was a little surprised.

Did Lao Chang know that he was out of spiritual energy and take the initiative to send him spiritual energy?
Chang Qiwen then took out three envelopes and said, "Collection notices. Your courtyard is already a month behind on fees."

Jiang Man: "."

-

Looking at the statue, Ren Qian sighed with emotion: "This is the first time I've seen such a complete keepsake. I have to say, Jiang Man is destined to be with the evil god."

"The evil god's choice to get involved with him was the worst one in years."

"What should we do?" asked the woman next to Ren Qian.

"Let's make use of Jiang Man," Ren Qian said.

"You want him to enter a dream state? But Jiang Man is a proponent of staying up all night, and even a leader in it. Will he be able to sleep?" the woman asked.

Ren Qian put down the token and calmly said, "Apply for some funds."

The woman was puzzled.

Ren Qian sighed, "Didn't you see Jiang Man's clothes? He practically had poverty written all over his face. Of course, he would refuse to be used for free."

"But the spiritual source allows poor students to sleep peacefully."

"If not, it means you didn't give enough spiritual energy."

The woman was somewhat surprised: "Such a genius should be very difficult to bribe, right?"

The next day.

"No problem, leave it to me. As a member of the sect, it is my duty."

The woman was greatly shocked as she watched Jiang Man accept the token.

She applied for 50,000 spiritual resources.

The other party agreed to sleep with him for one night for 5,000 yuan.

She felt a little guilty because the price she asked for was too low.

A rustic courtyard.

It's pouring rain today.

Meng Qiewei stood by the window, watching the rain fall outside, feeling the cool breeze as if she were recalling a long time ago.

“It hasn’t rained for many years,” she suddenly said.

“Yes, things are recovering now, and there will be more rain in the future,” Qingdai said. “However, if Miss doesn’t like it, she can stop the rain.”

"Let's go," Meng Qie said calmly. "Has the new prodigy made any progress recently?"

“Recently, the new generation of geniuses have been observing Jiang Man, saying that this young man is extraordinary and it would be best to let him test again. In addition, they think that they should consider the direct descendants of the family who are favored by heaven. If he is willing to marry into the family, he should look for one of these direct descendants,” Qingdai said.

"It seems they think highly of this person." Meng Qie paused slightly, then asked, "Has the other party agreed to marry into the family?"

“No.” Qingdai shook her head and continued, “But the new prodigy has decided to guard him to prevent someone from getting there first.”

He wanted to stay and persuade the other party.

"He also suggested that a suitable person be selected as soon as possible so that he could persuade the other party."
