The End of the Immortal Path

Why is Chapter 265 ranked so high?

In Shangguan Yang and Zhuo Qingcheng's view, Jiang Man was only at the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Therefore, it's barely acceptable to put the weakest and the strongest together.

Zhuo Qingcheng was somewhat worried because Jiang Man had offended the peak master, and she was unsure of Shangguan Yang's thoughts.

But since Jiang Man nodded, she couldn't say anything more.

In addition, she also needs to keep a certain distance from him.

If someone with ulterior motives sees this, it will cause a lot of trouble.

The impact of the summit leader is never direct; it is more often measured by the perspectives of certain individuals.

Is it safer to cooperate with someone who hasn't offended the peak master, or someone who has?

Those people know it all too well.

Even if someone who offends the peak master has a powerful background, will he turn around and help you?

too difficult.

No one would gamble with their family's wealth.

The same is true for their family.

As for these people, they are just members of the family and have no influence whatsoever.

Many things are not up to them to decide, because every decision could lead to the decline of the family.

Zhuo Bufan once said that as long as the family succeeds, it can reach a higher level, but is that really the case?
Can the Zhuo family hold out until then?
It had already been completely eaten.

Furthermore, the family is not of one mind.

Finally, Zhuo Qingcheng and the monk Vacuum entered the right side.

Shen Yao and the others entered the left side.

Everyone had different thoughts, but no one raised any objections.

On the way, Zhou Qing whispered to Shen Yao, "I feel like the middle road might be real."

“I know, that genius probably knows too, and the Nascent Soul stage expert understands even better,” Shen Yao said.

"Then aren't we going?" Zhou Qing asked.

"Do you really think they'll share the spoils with you? It's obvious that this genius is trying to challenge a Nascent Soul cultivator, so arrogant that he thinks he can fight a Nascent Soul cultivator. He deserves to suffer a loss. Anyway, we're not going." Shen Yao said calmly, "Don't be fooled by that Nascent Soul cultivator's claim of being in the early stage. Who knows what he's hiding."

"We just need to secure other opportunities; it's okay if we don't."

"Times have changed. Opportunities are important, but we can still do well even without them."

"Living is the most important thing."

"If we meet up again later, I'm afraid the genius will have disappeared and his whereabouts will be unknown."

"I have to say he is the most powerful Golden Core prodigy I have ever seen."

"They beat us up like this when they were only in their twenties."

"It's a pity that he doesn't know how to restrain himself and still dares to clamor about the primord

"His days are numbered."

the other side.

Zhuo Qingcheng looked at the two of them and said, "Don't you have any thoughts on this?"

The monk shook his head.

Bell asked, puzzled, "What are you thinking?"

"Won't it affect you if Jiang Man leaves with someone else?" Zhuo Qingcheng asked.

“No.” Lingdang shook her head and said truthfully, “We’ve been sending out the locations all along, and Jiang Man is sending them out himself, so there won’t be any problems.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Qingcheng was somewhat puzzled.

Is Jiang Man posting this himself?
But she didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he asked Shangguan Yang, wanting to see how much he knew about these two people.

Unfortunately, no news was received.

Therefore, it seems that Shangguan Yang is not their partner.

She stopped thinking about it.

-

Jiang Man and Shangguan Yang continued forward.

The enormous palace was not dark; on the contrary, it was exceptionally bright.

However, it was unclear where this road would lead, and the surrounding walls were identical.

"Senior brother, where do you think this road leads?" Jiang Man asked.

In his view, this path would surely lead to the place of immeasurable eons.

The other party is determined to start an immeasurable calamity on their own.

Then the Immortal Sect Competition came to an end.

He was simply curious as to why the Immortal Sect had not yet taken action.

We can't just let the other side unleash endless eons, can we?
Unless the order was given by Tingfengyin.

Jiang Man felt that he was truly capable of such a thing: to allow countless calamities to occur, and then use this opportunity to find all the evil gods, leaving none alive.

She's not crazy yet. If she really went crazy, she'd throw all the names of the powerful figures on the list at her, and all the talk of immortal sects.

Jiang Man felt he could kill anyone.

The side effect is that everyone dies.

Thinking of this, Jiang Man's expression turned grim; he could only rely on himself for now.

He just hopes this has nothing to do with Tingfengyin. If it does, he can only hope that she can stay calm.

“The middle path usually leads to the right path.” Shangguan Yang looked at Jiang Man and said, “Junior Brother, you are the top disciple in the outer sect, late stage of Golden Core.”

Such talent is rare throughout history.

"Aren't there no geniuses in the Golden Core stage?" Jiang Man asked.

“Indeed, there isn’t one, but there are some basic outlines, and you can see that it can go very far in the future.” Shangguan Yang said with great emotion, “When I was in Yunqian Division and the outer sect, I also thought of myself as a prodigy like my junior brother.”

"But progress becomes slow after reaching the Golden Core stage, and it becomes extremely difficult after reaching the Primordial Spirit stage."

"Only then did I realize that I was just one of the masses."

"The road ahead won't go too far."

"I'm afraid I'll remain at the primordial spirit stage for the rest of my life."

Jiang Man listened quietly, while the other party continued, "There's something you all don't know. I've always known where the treasure is and which path is the right one."

"At first, I wanted to keep the treasure for myself."

"But now I've changed my mind. I can't go too far. Even with treasures, I can only reach the Void Returning stage at most, and I can't even become an immortal."

"But I still want to try."

"Until I met my junior brother, I understood his talent and realized that he was destined for great things in the future."

"so."

Shangguan Yang turned to Jiang Man and said, "I have decided to give the treasure to my junior brother. I have only one request: when my junior brother achieves the Great Dao, I hope he can help me become an immortal."

Jiang Man looked at the person next to him in astonishment.

If it weren't for the report from Zhenyue Division, he might have actually believed it.

Even if you don't believe it, you'll still feel that the person in front of you is a good person.

A free opportunity that's easy to seize—who wouldn't want it?

As for whether the opportunity is dangerous or not, no one knows, and the other party can't be blamed.

For a moment, Jiang Man felt that the person in front of him was trying to frame him.

If the immortal sect doesn't come, I'll be the first to die; if they do come, I'll be the first to be captured.

Then it got caught up in a new storm.

Of course, the other party's idea just happens to be what I want.

Only in this way can risks be better controlled.

It's better to have the switch in your own hands than in someone else's.

"Senior brother, you're exaggerating. Is this treasure really that powerful?" Jiang Man asked.

Shangguan Yang nodded and said, "Yes, at least that's the information I've received. As for whether it's worth it, Junior Brother, you'll know for sure once you see for yourself."

"If there is any danger, junior brother can escape on his own, I will hold them off."

"Isn't Senior Brother afraid that if I get the treasure, I won't seek repayment from you?" Jiang Man asked.

At this moment, Shangguan Yang stopped in front of a wall and examined it carefully.

Then a strange symbol was used to open the hidden door.

Shangguan Yang went in first, and said with emotion as he walked, "This makes no sense. I can only choose to believe my junior brother."

"If I had a choice, I would naturally choose to become an immortal."

"But I can't."

Jiang Man felt that what the other party said made sense.

If he hadn't known the other party's purpose beforehand, he would have truly believed that the other party had no malicious intent.

However, Zhenyue Division is probably not wrong.

Between the two sides, he chose to trust Zhenyue Division.

Of course, most importantly, he can identify that thing.

Whether it's dangerous or not is obvious.

He wasn't sure if just touching it would get him involved.

Even the most comprehensive books of Heaven wouldn't mention such a thing.

"We're almost there," Shangguan Yang said, looking at the brightly lit area deep inside. At this moment, Jiang Man also saw an altar suspended in mid-air. The altar emitted a faint light and was filled with spiritual energy, making it seem as if a divine being resided there.

Below lay endless darkness, with no end in sight.

“It does indeed look like a divine object,” Jiang Man said.

“Of course we do, as long as we’re not too late,” Shangguan Yang said.

Soon, the two arrived at the altar.

Jiang Man saw an irregularly shaped stone hanging in the middle of the altar.

The second time, the irregular stone turned into a square stone.

The third eye saw the square stone transform into a circle, like a bead.

With each glance thereafter, the stone changed, its shape no longer fixed.

But apart from these, there were no other changes.

Upon closer inspection, it's just an ordinary stone.

"How do we set up the altar?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

He tried, but he couldn't get onto the altar.

I touched it, wanting to see the composition of this sealed altar.

The Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books are opened and turned.

Finally, it stops at the last page.

[A powerful seal is about to dissipate. The outer seal will fade in an hour, and even fragments of a powerful person's will can break through the outer seal.]

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised, not expecting the seal to be about to expire.

Fortunately, it's only the outermost seal.

“There should be a key. Let me look for it.” Shangguan Yang said, taking out a talisman.

It was immediately affixed to the seal.

Immediately afterwards, the outer seal shattered.

The irregularly shaped treasure was now right before their eyes.

Jiang Man was a little nervous, unsure of how the other party would break the seal.

But he would take action if there was any unusual movement.

The evil god's magic is already operating in secret.

Moreover, the True Martial Arts were also in operation.

He will go all out at that time.

I just hope the other party really is in the early stage of the Primordial Spirit realm.

Otherwise, it's really hard to say who will win or lose.

"Junior brother, go upstairs and get the thing. I'll help you absorb and refine it. As far as I know, as long as you absorb this thing, your cultivation speed will increase exponentially, but how much it will increase depends on your talent."

"The more talented a person is, the better the results will be."

"It's truly heartbreaking; even treasures depend on talent," Shangguan Yang said with a touch of melancholy.

Jiang Man took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll give it a try?"

As he spoke, he stepped onto the altar.

He wanted to touch it, but touching it might get him involved.

To touch or not to touch?

Finally, Jiang Manyi gritted his teeth and decided to touch her first.

You can't have everything like the Immortal Path Coordinates, where you can just touch something and get caught up in it, right?

Afterwards, Jiang Man went up to the altar, and while being wary of Shangguan Yang, he reached out and touched something.

Shangguan Yang did not make a move in the end, allowing Jiang Man to touch things.

The strange sensation made Jiang Man stop thinking about it and instead activate the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books.

Soon the pages began to turn rapidly.

This time, the book stopped at page four.

Jiang Manxin finished speaking. Page four. This is the first time he has seen something ranked so high.

The text then appeared quickly.

[Ten Infinite Calamities: Calamities arise from the condensation of heaven and earth's calamities; countless tribulations accumulate to form a Great Calamity, which then sweeps away all living beings in the world. Natural disasters and man-made calamities contain the elements of cause and effect, destiny; one lifetime is a natural disaster, ten lifetimes are man-made calamities. In ancient times, a powerful being became curious about Great Calamities. At the time of a Great Calamity's eruption, he used special methods to condense and absorb it, reaching the peak of absorption after countless years, forming the Ten Infinite Calamities. Refining and absorbing it using special methods can create the most terrifying Great Calamity in this world.]

[Records ten lifetimes of immeasurable eons, and a wisp of magical purple energy can be obtained (acquisition possible)]

Jiang Man was somewhat shocked; this thing was definitely not a good thing.

But would an ancient powerful being create such a dangerous thing out of mere curiosity?
Is the curiosity of the strong really that terrifying?

The strong are either insane or driven by curiosity, and the side effect is that they cause the deaths of ordinary cultivators like them.

However, after this thing is refined, the person becomes a calamity.

Did they still have self-awareness at that time?

Jiang Man thought it was impossible. The Great Tribulation was so terrifying, who could withstand it?

He didn't know if listening to the wind's whispers would work, but as a primordial spirit, he certainly couldn't withstand it.

At this moment, Shangguan Yang saw Jiang Man pick up something and said, "Junior brother, sit down. I will use the altar to help you refine it."

Looking at the person in front of him again, Jiang Man finally understood why the other party had chosen him.

It turns out it wasn't to frame someone, but to refine the Great Tribulation.

It seems that the stronger one's talent, the better the effect of refining the Great Tribulation.

Once he, a peerless genius, refines it, the level of danger will far exceed that of Shangguan Yang refining it himself.

Jiang Man stood still, wondering how long it would take to refine this thing.

"About forty days," Shangguan Yang said after a moment's thought. "For others, it would probably take more than a hundred days, but Junior Brother's talent has been reduced by at least half."

Jiang Man looked at the other person and said, "How about I take it back and refine it? Senior brother, could you tell me how to refine it?"

"Junior brother doesn't believe me?" Shangguan Yang's expression darkened.

In an instant, the aura of the primordial spirit spread, blocking Jiang Man's retreat: "Then I can only knock my junior brother unconscious and then help you refine him. This refining can only be completed by using the altar, so I can't miss this opportunity."

"In time, junior brother will understand my good intentions."

Jiang Man looked at the person in front of him, sighed, and said, "Senior brother, do you know about the Sun and Moon Immortal Path?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yang's pupils contracted.

In that instant, Jiang Man moved.

He quickly approached Shangguan Yang, his body radiating golden light.

The weight of the primordial spirit is superimposed.

Punch out.

boom!
Shangguan Yang caught the punch directly.

The other party's expression was gloomy, somewhat shocked by the power of the punch.

Jiang Man was surprised; the other party reacted faster than expected.

They then continued to make moves.

Shangguan Yang did not use any magic, but instead confronted Jiang Man head-on with his physical body.

The more Jiang Man fought, the more his brows furrowed.

He was then driven back.

"Junior Brother has reached the Nascent Soul stage?" Shangguan Yang stared at Jiang Man after regaining his footing, and asked in shock.

He transformed from a late-stage Golden Core cultivator into an early-stage Primordial Spirit.

Anyone would be surprised.

Jiang Man calmly asked, "Senior Brother isn't in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm?"

"What else does Junior Brother know?" Shangguan Yang asked.

"Senior brother is referring to the Immortal Path of the Sun and Moon?" Jiang Man smiled slightly. "Senior brother shouldn't be in the middle stage either, right? Otherwise, I, who haven't even started cultivating the Primordial Spirit Technique yet, should be having an even harder time."

The other party has something that enhances their cultivation level.

At this moment, Shangguan Yang took the initiative to attack, his body exuding power that pressed down like a mountain.

Jiang Man remained unmoved, his aura deep and continuous, and began to counterattack.

Jiang Man was extremely fast and his fists were heavy. His opponent did not back down at all, and the force was like a cascading torrent of water.

The roar continued.

The two figures disappeared and reappeared quickly, and the ground erupted with powerful aftershocks as they clashed.

The last heartbeats sounded.

A power that did not belong to Jiang Man erupted from his body.

This time, Shangguan Yang, who was already alarmed, narrowed his eyes and then felt his mind being gripped by a large hand.

Then, with a thud, a fist landed on his chest.

Then it dented down.

boom!
Shangguan Yang crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at Jiang Man in shock: "You're also one of the evil gods?"

“You’re wrong,” Jiang Man said calmly. “The Evil God is one of my men.”
