The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 260 It's my fault for being too strong, not yours.
Jiang Man has been here for eight days.

Now the fourth gourd has accumulated 20%.

As for the beam of light.

The project was originally 70% complete.

Today we're going back to the sixth floor.

It seems that the recovery is faster as you go on, especially with larger beams.

The things inside are not easy to obtain.

I don't know what the point of this arrangement is.

Is it possible that we cooperate first to activate the beam of light, and then fight over what's inside?
Jiang Man was unaware of this, but since he was currently focused on improving his skills, he didn't care about the speed of progress.

He needs forty days, and during those forty days, someone else will definitely come.

We just need to grab a few more people and smash it together.

It's not a problem.

As Jiang Man was thinking this.

Suddenly, I noticed the sound of a flute.

The voice is soothing, it makes you want to immerse yourself in it.

Jiang Man frowned slightly: "It feels like they're trying to mentally trap me."

He didn't care; such a thing couldn't possibly trap him.

He immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

A man wielding a knife rode in on his sword.

When he saw Jiang Man, his eyes were filled with coldness.

But when he saw Shen Yao and the others, he frowned again.

Although surprised, Jiang Man quickly came to a conclusion: he had sided with these people.

It was somewhat different from the ambush we had anticipated, but the nature of the ambush was similar.

To deal with so many people, and those Golden Core cultivators who don't seem to be ordinary at all.

It was beyond his capabilities.

Immediately, he said politely, "Fellow Daoists, I have some grudges with this person and would like to have a talk with him."

He pointed at Jiang Man as he spoke.

Shen Yao frowned as she looked at the person who had arrived.

Another idiot.

Why don't we just talk about what we want to do?
Can we make that decision?

"Is this guy an idiot? Can't he tell the difference between the king and the queen?" Nangong He thought to himself.

Can't this person see that this old man has mastered all things?
Where did someone with only Golden Core cultivation get the courage to fight against a master of the Hundred Rivers Converging into the Sea?

How many lives?
Several people were silent.

Jiang Manze asked, "May I ask who you are, fellow Daoist?"

"Qiu Xu." The man with the knife breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the others didn't seem to care. He looked at Jiang Man and said, "I'm here to let you experience what kind of price you have to pay for refusing the peak master."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man immediately said, "So it's you two. There are two of you?"

Upon hearing the other party mention "Peak Master," Jiang Man understood that this was one of Peak Master Bai's people.

After waiting for so many days, it's finally here.

"You're a bit late, but not too late either. You still have a chance," Jiang Man said politely. "So, who's going to make the first move?"

"You seem quite relaxed, not at all like a weakling." The moment the words fell, Qiu Xu drew his long sword.

Clang!
At this moment, the opponent arrived in front of Jiang Man and slashed down with a single blow.

Jiang Man dodged to the side, and then raised his hand to flick the long sword away.

However, the moment he reached out, the opponent's knife suddenly changed direction, from a slash to a sweep, carrying an exceptionally sharp and fierce aura.

Jiang Man reacted quickly, turning his hand downwards to the back of the blade.

He pinched the long knife between three fingers.

A gust of energy whistled through the air, whipping his hair.

But it didn't go any further.

Qiu Xu was taken aback, but he swung the blade and kicked Jiang Man in the process.

The magic spell caused the sky to collapse.

boom!
Jiang Man blocked with his fist, and a powerful shockwave swept through the forest.

It unveiled a vast expanse of land.

The two retreated some distance.
Jiang Man smoothly activated his Dragon Strike technique and arrived in front of his opponent, unleashing a punch.

boom!
The opponent blocked with a horizontal blade.

The fist landed on the blade.

A crisp sound rang out, sending the person flying.

But the opponent's momentum did not diminish. With a turn, he stirred up the surrounding water and unleashed a huge blade.

"Similar to the Greatsword Technique." Jiang Man remained as still as a mountain.

Strike a pose.

Then, as the long sword fell, he threw a punch.

Boom!

The fist slammed into the giant sword.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

The giant sword shattered, turning into countless raindrops that fell down.

However, before the rain had completely stopped falling, the opponent rushed out of the water and slashed horizontally.

Jiang Man dared not be careless and punched the blade from bottom to top.

With a loud bang, the knife was knocked away, and then the attacker pressed his advantage.

The two exchanged blows, evenly matched.

Shen Yao, who was watching from the sidelines, was puzzled: "Why is it taking so long?"

"We've released it into the sea," Nangong He replied.

Shen Yao was even more puzzled.

But the fact that the other team played for so long makes them seem very weak.

Lingdang whispered, "It might be replenishing the spiritual energy source."

They were taken aback upon hearing this.

Old man, here to freeload.

Jiang Man's fists were constantly blocked by the longsword, and the blade's attacks also frequently struck his wrists, producing the sound of metal clashing.

Unable to break defense.

Qiu Xu became increasingly alarmed.

And it's becoming increasingly difficult.

He remembered that Jiang Man was in the late stage of Golden Core, so how did he suddenly become the perfect Golden Core cultivator?
And
This is by no means an ordinary attainment of the Golden Elixir Perfection.

In the instant his mind went blank, a fist filled his vision.

Bang.

It hit his cheek hard.

Click!

The sound of bones breaking was heard, followed by teeth flying out along the trail of blood.

There was a bang.

He crashed heavily to the ground.

But the other person quickly stood up.

He stared intently at Jiang Man.

"You can still stand?" Jiang Man was somewhat surprised.

Despite the fact that he attacked the face, his leg was also broken.

It's truly remarkable that he could still stand up at this point.

But the other party didn't move; he just stood there staring intently at Jiang Man.

"How could you be so strong?" Qiu Xu questioned.

“Nothing is impossible, it’s just that you know too little about me. If you knew me, you should have come to me much faster.” Jiang Man looked at the other party and said calmly, “Your chance of winning has never been to compete with me in cultivation, but to make the most of your age advantage.”

"But it's not your fault, it's all my fault for growing up too fast."

"So that you can't react immediately."

"Now that we've realized it, it's too late."

Qiu Xu stared silently at the person in front of him, speechless for a moment.

I don't know how to respond to what the person in front of me is saying.

But soon the sound of the flute began to fluctuate.

Like a prison, they wanted to surround Jiang Man and lock away his thoughts and emotions.

The person in the shadows made their move.

Jiang Man looked at the person in front of him and said, "This spell is actually useless to me. Aren't you going to investigate me?"

As he spoke, Jiang Man turned the dragon and disappeared from the spot.

Immediately afterwards, a booming sound came from the sky.

Then the sound of the flute disappeared, and a figure fell from the sky.

Bang.

Yin Qin crashed heavily in front of Qiu Xu, spitting out a mouthful of blood that splattered at his feet.

Jiang Man landed in front of them again.

For a moment, Qiu Xu fell silent.

He was indeed stronger than Yin Qin, but it was impossible for him to defeat her in one fell swoop.

Jiang Manming had just been fighting back and forth with her, yet he suddenly struck Yin Qin and severely injured her.

Surely he couldn't have improved so much in such a short time?

Jiang Man looked at the sky and asked, "Have you been busy lately?"

The two fell silent.

After dark, they joined the team that smashed the beams.

Only then did they realize that all of them had been captured to smash the beam of light.

But why is Jiang Man so strong?
“He’s just an old man. You’re a bit stupid, but don’t be discouraged,” Shen Yao said. “You two idiots, can’t you see what kind of strength he has?” Nangong He sighed. “So stupid.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xu asked with considerable curiosity, "Then how did you clever people get stuck here?"

After he finished speaking, they remained silent for a while.

Shen Yao said disdainfully, "The sect's useless students are learning cultivation."

"A bunch of scoundrels from a backward region," Nangong He scoffed.

Qiu Xu chuckled: "How did a prodigy from the immortal sect become a prisoner? He can't even beat a lowly cultivator from another sect?"

Enraged, Shen Yao drew her sword, ready to attack.

Zhou Qing stopped her, saying, "Never mind, never mind."

Nangong He glanced coldly at the person beside him.

The woman next to him chimed in, "Calm down."

Only then did the two of them give up.

Because Jiang Man's eyes were fixed on this side.

His body was flashing with True Martial Arts.

Seeing that they started throwing beams of light, Jiang Man stopped paying attention.

Pity.

Fighting these people is quite interesting; it's very beneficial for improving practical experience.

Body cultivation is indeed quite good.

Afterwards, Jiang Man continued to consume pills to improve his cultivation.

Thirteenth day since entering the secret realm.

The fourth gourd has accumulated 30% of the cultivation level.

The beam of light is still only at 60-70%, a disappointing progress.

Day 21 of entering the secret realm.

The cultivation level of the fourth gourd has reached 50%.

The beam progress is still 60%.

Shen Yao and the others watched Jiang Man cultivate continuously, feeling uncomfortable all over after resting during the day.

Forced to follow along and cultivate.

The same applies to Qiu Xu and others.

The people around them were cultivating, and they weren't, so it was as if they had been abandoned.

Not improving means falling behind.

In an instant, everyone was practicing during the day and throwing beams of light at night.

Suddenly, Lingdang asked, "Does this count as staying up all night to cultivate?"

Everyone was silent.

They stayed up all night smashing beams of light and cultivated during the day.

Working without sleep doesn't count as staying up all night to cultivate, right?

Jiang Man ignored them and waited for the others to arrive.

Ordinary people would leave as soon as they saw so many people.

I think there's a problem.

Now, Jiang Man is waiting for the Ji family.

Unfortunately, we had to wait until the fortieth day.

They didn't come.

He is now only one day away from reaching the maximum level of cultivation.

Feeling the power within his body, Jiang Man felt invincible.

He glanced at Qiu Xu and his group.

Full of fighting spirit.

Those people immediately turned their heads away from Jiang Man.

"You beast! Not only did you force us to cultivate, but after we mastered the divine skill, you still wanted to beat us up," Shen Yao said.

Qiu Xu asked with great curiosity, "What kind of divine skill has been mastered?"

"You don't even know this now?" Nangong He couldn't help but say, "You really have no experience. He has mastered the Hundred Rivers Series, and his cultivation should be completely perfect now. When you met him, he was basically the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage."

"Now, the entire region combined probably can't defeat him; they can't even wear him down."

Qiu Xu was shocked. Was Jiang Man really that strong?
"Then why do you call him an old man?" Yin Qin asked.

"Why? Of course, it's because of old age. Anyone who can master the Baichuan series has to be in their seventies or eighties by now," Shen Yao said.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xu and the others fell silent.

Is Jiang Man in his seventies or eighties?
Based on the current date of November 10th.

Jiang Man isn't twenty-seven yet, is he?

The moment they thought of this, they felt a sense of terror.

Twenty-six years old, invincible at the Golden Core stage?
Didn't he only achieve the Golden Elixir four or five years ago?

The two hesitated for a moment, then gave up.

Let them think that way; let them suffer the consequences.

The next day.

Jiang Man collected his fourth gourd before nightfall.

In that instant, his cultivation level was completely maxed out.

The physical body and spirit are not enough, but they can be supplemented with the Yuan Shen Pill to make do.

At this point, only one-tenth of the beam remained.

It will take quite some time for those people to break through.

However, Jiang Man participated this time.

After a stick of incense.

boom!
The powerful force shattered the beam of light, and Jiang Man stepped inside.

Others were eager to compete, but the shadow cast by the invincible Golden Core was too great, and they dared not act rashly.

Only the monk Zhenkong and Lingdang went inside.

Seeing the two of them, Shen Yao said angrily, "I hate these kinds of cultivators who rely on luck. They clearly don't deserve to get what's inside, but by associating with an old guy, they can get things that don't belong to them."

"What if it were you?" Nangong He asked.

“Then I allow you to hate me,” Shen Yao said generously.

Jiang Man successfully obtained the pills, books, and envelope.

Then, I just need to find an opportunity to use the token and then search for the place of ascension.

After receiving the items, Jiang Man looked at the others and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work," Nangong He said with a smile. "Then, shall we go find our own opportunities?"

Jiang Man nodded: "Of course, if you need to call someone next time, you can contact me and I'll give you a 30% discount."

They left without saying a word.

From afar, Shen Yao's voice came: "You just wait, when I advance to the Nascent Soul stage, you'll have your day to cry."

Jiang Man took out his notebook and slowly wrote down the other party's evil deeds.

Then he looked at the remaining monks and asked, "What are your plans?"

“We’ll listen to you,” the monk Vacuum said.

Jiang Man's strength was truly outrageous; they experienced the thrill of crushing their opponents for the first time.

Even a Golden Core cultivator would avoid Jiang Man.

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "I need to leave for a while."

Upon hearing this, the two were somewhat shocked.

leave?

Where to go?

A rustic courtyard.

After deliberating for more than a month, Ji Wuye finally finished his consideration.

He decided to find Qingdai and share his bold ideas.

Let's see if we can gain Miss Qingdai's approval.

If possible, then I can meet the young lady.

If not.

We can only pretend it never happened.

After contacting Miss Qingdai, he waited quietly.

The Bai family has been going too far lately, and he really doesn't want to fight them.

As long as the young lady's behavior surpasses that of the other party's ancestor, there's nothing to worry about.

Nowadays, young ladies are easily angered by their partners going out.

When the young lady gets angry, she becomes very dangerous.

While he was pondering, Qingdai secretly slipped out.

It seemed as if he was carrying the young lady on his back.

"Elder, over here," Miss Qingdai whispered.

Seeing this, Ji Wuye whispered, "Miss Qingdai, what's wrong?"

"Miss hasn't been in a good mood lately, so it's best to be careful. Here, have this." He then handed her a box of tea.

Upon seeing the name of the tea, Ji Wuye said with a panic, "This...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Otherwise, why are we on the same side?" Qingdai asked normally only after they had walked a little further away. "Has something happened outside?"

“Yes, a lot has happened. It’s now confirmed that the Bai family patriarch has gone outside,” Ji Wuye said.

Upon hearing this, Qingdai asked in bewilderment, "How did he get out? Why would the immortal sect allow someone on the list to leave?"

"I heard he performed a great service, and the Immortal Sect spent a long time approving his application, finally allowing him to travel away for fifty years in a separate body," Ji Wuye said.

The Twelve Heavenly Kings are all thanks to your kindness.

Otherwise, there would be no opportunity.

It's also fate.
