The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 247 Was the sacrifice so quick?

Upon hearing what Miss Qingdai said, Ji Wuye thought to himself, "As expected of Miss Qingdai."

They even acted with such righteous indignation when vying for a marriage alliance with a collateral branch.

Since that's the case, he no longer needs to be timid and hesitant.

Come on boldly.

As for the final outcome, he didn't care.

Because the new prodigy will make another move.

He could simply watch these people display their extraordinary abilities.

He then said, "Since Miss Qingdai has said so, I have made up my mind. The first test will be whether the other party can enter the Immortal Sect Grand Competition."

"If you can't get in, it means you're not qualified for the formal assessment."

"If he successfully enters the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, then there will be no further assessment of his basic skills."

"Those people also want to proceed step by step, starting with the basics of the techniques and gradually increasing the difficulty."

"Too slow, and too ordinary."

"It's not difficult at all."

"I think we should have him explain his insights into cultivating superior techniques directly."

-

That evening, Jiang Man received a reply from Ji Meng.

He was quite moved.

"A test for me in the Immortal Sect Grand Competition?" Jiang Man looked at the old ox and said, "The first test is whether I have qualified. That's indeed a high requirement."

"Wasn't this what you asked for?" Old Huang said casually.

Jiang Man nodded slightly, not particularly concerned: "I wonder what kind of tests the Ji family will put me through after I enter the competition."

"If the test covers basic cultivation knowledge, talismans, alchemy, and forging, how do you plan to handle it?" the old ox asked curiously.

Jiang Man paused for a moment and said, "It seems I need to improve my strength. I'm still too weak, and they mistakenly believe that I can follow their test questions."

The old ox was silent for a moment before saying, "What if the test is on understanding superior techniques, applying spells, controlling spiritual energy, and setting up formations?"

Jiang Man casually said, "It is indeed a high-difficulty test. I am willing to give it a try and let them know what a prodigy is."

Old Huang gave the person in front of him a deep look, then looked away and continued eating grass.

May 1st.

In addition to mastering what he had learned, Jiang Man also gained a general understanding of the third volume of the Evil God's Method.

Volume Three contains three techniques, all of which are offensive methods. To learn them, you need to rely on Volumes One and Two.

The first volume activates the aura, the second volume activates the characteristics, and only in this way can the power of the third volume be activated.

Then compress it into an attack method that suits you.

He didn't have time for cultivation; his schedule was simply too tight.

It has never stopped.

"Old Huang, I'm going to take the assessment. I should be back soon," Jiang Man said.

The old ox did not respond.

At this time, Jiang Man's "Hundred Rivers Return to the Sea" cultivation was complete, as was his "Hundred Rivers Body Refining Method." He possessed the cultivation level of the late Golden Core stage, with a physical body and spirit at the mid-Golden Core stage.

When the Golden Core and the physical body are fully integrated, the flow of power is unimpeded, and the Golden Core and the mind are still in a state of integration. Once successful, the strength will surge again.

However, the Hundred Rivers Return to the Sea technique is a late-stage cultivation method, and he has already reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, in addition to having a transparent physical body.

He is absolutely unrivaled among his peers.

With unwavering composure, even a large number of opponents of the same level can handle heavy tasks with ease.

Push everything horizontally.

-

The small hill inside the gate.

Jiang Man followed Mr. Yan upstairs.

"You're traveling with the Tianshui Sect's team this time, so it's extremely dangerous. You need to be very careful," Mr. Yan said with a sigh. "It's truly not easy for you to get in at this level of competition. As for whether you can actually secure a spot, don't worry about that."

"It's all about participation and experiencing it."

"You'll still have a chance after you enter the inner sect for about thirty years."

"Thirty years is too long," Jiang Man said with a smile. "Although I was in a position of sacrifice, there is still a glimmer of hope, and I am a peerless genius."

"You're best at fighting for this sliver of hope, aren't you?" Mr. Yan answered first.

Jiang Man didn't mind and just nodded slightly.

“I admit that you are indeed a prodigy, a peerless prodigy,” Mr. Yan said seriously. “But no matter how prodigy you are, you are still only at the early to mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.”

"Late stage of Golden Core," Jiang Man corrected.

"Even if you are a Golden Core cultivator," Mr. Yan paused, then asked, "What level of cultivation?"

"Late stage of Golden Core," Jiang Man repeated.

Mr. Yan was somewhat taken aback, and finally said, "I'll pretend I didn't say anything. You should fight for it. Sacrificing a position isn't actually that important. Judging from previous years, people with lower cultivation levels tend to persist longer and receive more rewards."

"So perfection is rare, and you've already achieved a high level."

"But even those who are strong and persevere to the end are not qualified."

"Has no one ever received it?" Jiang Man asked.

Mr. Yan nodded: "Never."

Jiang Man thought for a moment and said, "It will be ready soon."

Mr. Yan looked at Jiang Man and thought to himself, "Although you are the number one in the outer sect, I still feel that you are being a bit arrogant by saying this, but I dare not refute you, because I am afraid that you really are."

Soon they spotted Ye Xiaoshuang and her group, who were waving at them.

Upon arriving, Ye Xiaoshuang spoke in a gentlemanly tone: "Jiang Man, I know you and understand your talent, so I overcame all difficulties and recommended you to my brother, allowing you to compete for a spot."

"This is a rare opportunity. I believe that with your talent, you will definitely be able to break through the conventional understanding of countless cultivators and make everyone know your name."

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised. Did this Mr. Ye have such discerning eyes?
“She holds a grudge against you for disciplining her students and is trying to ruin you by praising you too much,” Mr. Yan said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man looked at the other person and said, "Although they may think you are trying to flatter me to death right now, the tide will soon turn."

Ye Xiaoshuang was puzzled.

Jiang Man continued, "It won't be long before they praise you for your keen insight."

Ye Xiaoshuang was puzzled.

Mr. Yan patted her on the shoulder and said, "Get ready to receive the respect of the students and become the legendary Mr. Ye."

"Huh?" Ye Xiaoshuang was completely stunned.

With keen insight, the legendary Ms. Ye—is this referring to her?

For a moment, she forgot why she had come there.

Ye Jingtian, standing to the side, shook his head slightly.

Therefore, his sister could only be a teacher, while he was highly talented and had abundant resources.

My first thought back then was to let his sister finish teaching early and become a teacher, so she wouldn't have to deal with too much stuff.

Otherwise, I might not be alive today.

Jiang Man approached Ye Jingtian and greeted him.

“When you join us in the competition for spots, you should know where you'll end up, but it's also an opportunity,” Ye Jingtian said to Jiang Man. “You still have a choice. If you refuse now, I can find someone to replace you.”

"No need," Jiang Man said.

Judging from the other party's every move, it is definitely not a Golden Core cultivator.

There are truly many powerful figures within the inner sect.

Ye Jingtian said no more.

The others waited quietly as well.

As groups of people arrived.

Jiang Man saw some familiar faces, such as Zhuo Qingcheng, Shangguan Liuyun, and Ji Yifei, who seemed to be involved as well.

Shangguan Liuyun had only been in the inner sect for a short time, and he never expected to be able to participate as well.

This is also a true prodigy.

In four years, he should be at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

They also saw Jiang Man and were extremely surprised to find him at the Tianshui Sect.

Meanwhile, members of the Changqing Sect also entered one after another.

Shangguan Lingyue and Qin Yihan were among them.

They are all geniuses.

However, apart from Zhuo Qingcheng, most of the others were sacrificed.

Because his cultivation level was too low.

However, they all had a second chance.

When the next grand competition begins, they will probably all be Nascent Soul level experts.

At that moment, a beam of light shone from high above, as if a rift had been torn open in space.

"Alright, let's get ready to go in. Stay close to me," Ye Jingtian said.

When the opening was large enough, Ye Jingtian's aura burst forth, and the surrounding spiritual power solidified, making him appear like a giant.

"go!"

He leaped up and used his own strength to clear away the obstacles.

Boom!

The other primordial spirits also made their moves.

Jiang Man felt the surrounding space vibrate.

For those at the Nascent Soul stage, a battle between Nascent Soul level experts is indeed very dangerous.

Soon, three extremely powerful auras crushed all the surrounding primordial spirits and rushed into the entrance.

Ye Jingtian couldn't help but sigh, "These people are indeed powerful."

He then rushed into the entrance.

Jiang Man also saw the first three teams.

It's ridiculously powerful.

They completely crushed the remaining teams.

After entering the entrance, Jiang Man felt as if he were flying in the air.

Azure sea and blue sky.

“It’s not the same as before. At least we had islands before, but now we don’t even have islands,” Ye Jingtian said.

This was clearly not his first time here.

"Jiang Manyu, the rest of you, don't waste your strength," Ye Jingtian said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man took out his spirit sword and began to control it.

The Greatsword Technique was also activated.

Jiang Man suddenly realized that even sacrifices were just menial tasks, and he had to handle all the expenses.

The others, on the other hand, conserved their strength.

Because no one knows how long this sea can hold them.

especially.
Jiang Man sensed that there was no spiritual energy here.

The amount consumed is the amount that remains.

It will take quite some time to add more.

"It's boundless, how do we get there?" Senior Sister Mo asked.

There are five people in the team.

The leader was the young Ye Jingtian.

Beside him stood a beautiful and mature woman, Mo Xin.

There was also a young man who looked like a little monk, and a beautiful young girl who seemed to be a devout Buddhist.

The last one is Jiang Man.

"Let's get it wet first," Ye Jingtian said.

Jiang Man's flying sword descended and landed on the water's surface.

Seeing that no one moved, Jiang Man knew it was time to sacrifice himself again.

He then jumped directly onto the water.

But he moved too quickly, and he clearly saw that Ye Jingtian had something to say.

However, the moment he touched the water, the surrounding scenery changed.

He found himself standing on a small island, surrounded by an endless ocean.

Then flames began to burn underwater.

On the island, he saw a stone tablet that read: "The longer you persevere, the fewer spatial changes your team will encounter. If your individual score meets the standard, you can get a spot."

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised.

Is this the kind of sacrifice?
Jiang Man remained silent for a moment, thinking to himself, "Then what about my spirit sword?"

outside.

On the water's surface, Ye Jingtian immediately took control of Jiang Man's spirit sword.

He was stunned when he saw Jiang Man jump down.

This is the first time I've ever met someone so reckless.

Isn't he afraid something bad will happen?
Mo Xin covered her mouth and laughed, "The sacrifice was a bit too quick, but fortunately there was a gain, otherwise we would have lost those 20,000 spirit resources."

“He should hold out for a while. We need to hurry. But if the water is wrong, then the water above should be right.” Ye Jingtian said seriously, “Monk, fly on your sword.”

The young monk chanted a Buddhist prayer and then began to fly on his sword.

Soaring towards the heavens.

-

At this moment, Jiang Man placed his hand on the stone tablet.

This triggered the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books.

Soon the book stopped at the last page.

Not worth mentioning.

Jiang Man withdrew his hand and came to the edge of the island.

What he saw was clearly an endless sea, but there were countless flames burning within it, which was quite unusual.

He placed his hand on the water's surface and continued to examine hundreds of books.

What trash!

Jiang Man withdrew his hand and shook his head slightly.

I want to go out and see the world.

Just as he was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind: "What were you doing just now?"

An old and weary voice.

Jiang Man turned his head and saw an old man wearing a straw raincoat sitting on the shore fishing.

Looking at the other person, Jiang Man couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing, senior?"

"Fishing, huh? But are you one of the people taking the assessment? Why did you come in so early? This is the first time I've seen you like this." The old man looked at Jiang Man and couldn't help but sigh.

"Is it rare?" Jiang Man asked, puzzled, and explained his situation.

"Don't you think it's possible that they let someone test it with their foot, instead of having you jump in?" the old man remarked. "Are you that reckless?"

"Sacrifice, huh?" Jiang Man said nonchalantly. "Sacrificing sooner means chasing that sliver of hope."

"You've come here seeking a glimmer of hope?" the old man pondered for a moment and said, "Then you certainly need to come early. The earlier you come, the fewer people there will be, so you don't need to worry about the difficulty changing."

"In that case, you should go into the lake and try your best to hold on."

"Will I get a spot if I just persevere?" Jiang Man asked.

"No, I haven't seen anyone persist to the end and get a spot yet." The old man pondered for a moment and said, "I've been fishing here for many years and have never seen a single person get a spot. I'm not sure how the spot is calculated."

"But I feel that this was left by the immortal sects to screen people."

"But after all these years, not a single person has been selected."

Looking at the lake, Jiang Man couldn't help but say, "I understand."

The old man looked at Jiang Man with some surprise: "What do you understand?"

Jiang Man truthfully said, "This was deliberately left by the immortal sect to select unparalleled geniuses, geniuses rarely seen throughout history."

"A peerless genius?" The old man smiled and looked at Jiang Man, "Then you have no hope?"

Jiang Man shook his head and looked at the old man, saying, "On the contrary, I am an unparalleled genius. This assessment has been here for so many years, just waiting for me."

"Hahaha!" The old man laughed heartily, almost losing his breath, before finally calming down and saying, "In all these years, I've seen arrogant and ignorant people, but I've never seen anyone as arrogant and ignorant as you."

"But after all these years, I haven't had a proper laugh. We're destined to meet, sit down and I'll teach you how to fish."

"What I'm best at is catching tough fish."

Jiang Man didn't care about the other party's doubts, and said, "Can I wait until I get a spot before I come fishing?"

The old man stared at Jiang Man and said, "Are you serious?"

Jiang Man looked at the other person and nodded slightly: "I was not joking."

The old man smiled and shook his head: "This lake is the Lake of Inner Demons. Its waters disturb the mind and lock away spiritual energy. There are thousands of evil spirits in the lake."

"If you fall into the water, it means failure."

"So you need to run back before you fall into the water."

Jiang Man looked at the opposite side of the water and asked, "Is this a lake? What's on the other side of the lake?"

"If you can walk over there, then go and take a look," the old man said nonchalantly.

Jiang Man nodded, then made an impolite request: "Senior, may I touch you?"
