The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 266 Meng Qiewei: I Agree
The pressure of the primordial spirit can linger in the air for quite some time.

As the power dissipated, Shangguan Yang slowly stood up.

He stared at Jiang Man in disbelief.

As for what the other party said about the evil god being his man, he didn't believe a word of it.

“Since you are also working for the evil god, you should know what you are supposed to do,” Shangguan Yang said, staring intently at Jiang Man.

“You’ve already said they’re evil gods, so how can we go along with their wishes?” Jiang Man shook his head slightly and continued, “Besides, we’re not the same.”

"Isn't it all thanks to the evil god? Without the evil god, could you still be the well-known chosen one of heaven? But how long can you maintain such a status? The evil god's power can only take you to the primordial spirit stage at most, right? If it continues to help you, you'll be exposed." Shangguan Yang sneered, "I thought you really were the chosen one of heaven, but I didn't expect you to be a person who walks the evil path."

“People only believe what they know. Even if I told you that my cultivation level was achieved through my own hard work, you wouldn’t believe me,” Jiang Man said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yang sneered, "You're strong because you defeated me; otherwise, I would be the one saying such things."

"But are you really willing to be a puppet for the rest of your life, living in the shadow of the immortal sect?"

"Refine that thing, and you will have the qualifications to challenge the Immortal Sect."

"The immortal sects are in great order, and the evil gods are in control; it doesn't matter to you."

"Because at that time, you will be the calamity of this world, the one who makes the rules."

"If it's so good, why don't those evil gods come on their own? They must have known about this place for so many years, right?" Jiang Man stepped towards the other party and asked softly.

"You want to kill me?" Shangguan Yang said softly as he watched Jiang Man approach. "Actually, you're just like me, only able to get here thanks to the favor of the evil god."

"The me of today can become the you of tomorrow."

"It was destined to perish."

"If that's the case, why don't you refine this thing and show them what the price is for underestimating you?"

Jiang Man walked step by step, his voice tinged with indifference: "I started cultivating at eighteen, reached Foundation Establishment at nineteen, Core Formation at twenty-two, and Nascent Soul at twenty-seven. Do the evil gods you speak of have a faster advancement speed than me? Do they have the right to look down on me?"

As he spoke, Jiang Man placed one hand on Shangguan Yang's chest.

Then, to the other party's astonishment, a powerful force from his palm covered them.

Shangguan Yang was sent flying backwards, off the stone platform, and onto the edge of the abyss.

Jiang Man looked into the other person's eyes and made a gesture of clenching his five fingers: "Don't worry, they will look up to me sooner or later."

The words fell.

The five fingers quickly come together.

boom!
puff!
Blood gushed from Shangguan Yang's body, and his mind rapidly shattered and disintegrated.

The other person's attention gradually disappeared, but he stared intently at Jiang Man, seemingly lost in thought.

Jiang Man breathed a heavy sigh of relief as the person completely disappeared.

My arm is a little sore.

However, he was certain that the other party did not possess any storage magic items.

This yielded no results.

"Well, at least the crisis is over." Jiang Man looked at the irregular stone in his hand with relief.

If I were truly absorbed and refined by the other party, I would lose my life.

As for what to do now.

Jiang Man truly did not know.

Waiting here is clearly not a good idea.

He was unsure if the Sun and Moon Immortal Path had any backup plan.

Once a mid-to-late stage primordial spirit arrives, it will be me who falls into the abyss.

Having figured this out, Jiang Man tidied up and quickly left.

Once he's out there, no one will know that he has the item.

In addition, we just need to wait for the Immortal Sect or Tingfengyin to arrive.

Once you hand over the items, they become none of your business.

It seems this thing won't lock onto him.

I guess I made a profit.

This terrifying thing only gave a wisp of magical purple energy.

That's stingy too.

It's better to touch one of the bottom fifty than this one.

There will definitely be no problem.

If I get involved again this time, I definitely won't touch the top ten anymore.

As Jiang Man walked out the gate, he glanced back at the altar, feeling a slight pang of regret.

Old Huang wasn't here and didn't see what he just did.

I need to carefully consider my words before going back to inform it.

However, judging from his conversation with Shangguan Yang, he doesn't seem to be a die-hard fan of Sun Moon Immortal Path.

Jiang Man didn't think much of it.

Once you have the item in your hand, you're safe.

the other side.

Shen Yao and the others came out very quickly and stood in the main hall, looking around.

The road on the left has an end.

They obtained some elixirs.

They were extremely satisfied with this. Although they sensed there were hidden areas, they didn't venture in. The place was too strange, and they could leave once they got what they wanted.

The best things are definitely in the middle.

They don't need to take any risks.

"What reason do you think that genius would disappear for?" Shen Yao asked Zhou Qing beside her.

"Didn't Senior Sister say that her whereabouts are unknown?" Zhou Qing asked.

“There are many reasons why someone might go missing and disappear without a trace. For example, they might have taken different paths, gotten separated from someone in danger, or the other person might have left first,” Shen Yao said dismissively. “He is still too young. He doesn’t know how dangerous the outside world is, and he doesn’t understand that even the most outstanding Golden Core cultivator cannot go head-to-head with a Primordial Spirit.”

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Couldn't it be that the two of them came out together?"

“It’s unlikely that there’s only one real treasure that can’t be divided equally. The only way is for one of the people to go missing,” Shen Yao said.

Zhou Qing looked at Shen Yao and said, "What if it were just the two of us?"

"What you found is yours, of course," Shen Yao said casually.

Zhou Qing said seriously, "I will definitely split it equally with my senior sister."

As they talked, voices came from the right as well.

Zhuo Qingcheng and the others are back.

Their quick return clearly indicates they've obtained a treasure.

"Have Senior Brother Shangguan and the others not come out yet?" Zhuo Qingcheng asked.

Shen Yao shook her head: "No, I suppose they went to explore the real divine artifact. I wonder when they will come out."

No sooner had they finished speaking than they heard footsteps.

"You're out?" Zhou Qing was somewhat surprised.

Shen Yao listened for a moment: "It's the sound of one person's footsteps. Someone hasn't come out yet."

Zhuo Qingcheng and the others were also somewhat surprised.

The monk and the bell exchanged a glance, looking somewhat concerned.

But neither of them spoke; instead, they silently looked towards the corner.

Actually, everyone already had their own thoughts.

Jiang Man is probably not going to get out.

But soon, a figure appeared.

The moment they saw his face, Shen Yao and the others' pupils contracted.

Somewhat unbelievable.

"Why is it you who came out?" Shen Yao asked subconsciously.

Jiang Man asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Where is that primordial spirit?" Zhou Qing asked.

Jiang Man looked at them and feigned confusion, saying, "Senior Brother Shangguan? Didn't he come out earlier? You didn't run into him."

Shen Yao stood there, stunned. The reason was the same, but the person was wrong.

She was now somewhat unsure whether the Nascent Soul expert had emerged or not.

If Jiang Man hadn't come out, everyone would understand what was going on.

But now it's the other way around.

That makes things a bit confusing.

Golden Elixir Reversal Against the Primordial Spirit?

It's not like it's an ancient primordial spirit; it's not so easy to reverse its fate.

"Shall we look around?" Jiang Man suggested.

Everyone nodded.

Then I looked around but couldn't find anyone.

"Could they have already gone out?" asked the monk Vacuum.

Lingdang nodded in agreement: "The other party is a primordial spirit, so he probably won't wait for us. If he wants to do something, having us with him would just be a burden."

That's true; the primordial spirit carrying the golden core is indeed a bit of a burden.

The last few people decided to go out.

However, even after they left, they couldn't figure out whether their primordial spirits had been left behind. As for the treasures, no one inquired about them.

The answer is that he was taken away by the primordial spirit.

Upon arriving at the pile of stones, Jiang Man found Zhuo Qingcheng, the one who had discovered him, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior Sister, aren't you forty yet?"

Zhuo Qingcheng was taken aback and said, "Junior brother's question is quite impolite."

He then explained, "Those under sixty can also come here; it's just a little more troublesome to get here."

Jiang Man nodded, "That means you're over forty."

"If there's nothing else, let's go our separate ways," Shen Yao said immediately.

After that, she left with Zhou Qing.

Jiang Man glanced at Zhou Qing as she left, then quickly looked away.

He was thinking about one thing: foxes are all cunning.

What if the fox spirit was speaking ironically back then?

Jiang Man didn't think much of it; he decided to hide first.

Let's see if anyone from the Immortal Sect comes.

In theory, the Immortal Sect actually has three months left.

After all, it would take Shangguan Yang more than a hundred days to absorb and refine the Boundless Tribulation.

Zhuo Qingcheng then left as well.

Jiang Man and the monk Zhenkong were left behind.

"Where are we going now?" Bell asked.

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "Is there anything ancient? Or a treasure?"

“All we know about right now is that tree,” the monk Vacuum said.

“Then let’s go find that tree,” Jiang Man decided.

There's no point in arguing about rankings; we can't beat those people.

Therefore, unlocking talents is more important.

I unlocked a magical purple aura just by touching the Boundless Tribulation, I feel like I lost out.

I need to find another one without side effects.

Afterwards, Jiang Man and his group left this place and returned to the border area.

It was still early, and there weren't many people there yet.

"When will the Immortal Sect Competition end?" Jiang Man asked.

The monk shook his head: "I heard it will take one or two years."

Jiang Man frowned. Now that he was in the Second Hospital, he couldn't go out and enter the First Hospital anymore?

If we delay any longer, will we be able to enter the inner gate directly?

They saved a lot of money on rankings within the same hospital.

blood loss.

After that, they began to observe whether there was any fog in the surrounding area.

I searched for three days straight.

Finally, we saw the fog.

He then flew in on his sword and soon saw a tree emitting a faint light.

No matter how close they got, they couldn't close the distance.

“It’s a formation,” Jiang Man said after landing on the ground. “Follow me.”

At this moment, Jiang Man drew upon the surrounding spiritual energy and began to continuously draw array patterns.

The monks following behind were somewhat surprised, as it turned out that Jiang Man was also highly skilled in formations.

They were actually very curious about where that primordial spirit had gone.

But he didn't speak.

Some things, once the answer is found, shouldn't be asked.

They've left, that's all.

Before long they emerged from the fog and saw a small tree ahead.

It was completely different from what was seen in the fog.

There was a faint light shining from the trees at that moment.

Three people were sitting cross-legged under the tree.

Each of them carried a terrifying aura, and it was obvious without even looking that all three were primordial spirits.

At this moment, a woman, without opening her eyes, spoke softly: "Fellow Daoist, please line up. Wait until I have finished comprehending before you come."

"Can I touch this tree first? If it's not the tree I'm looking for, we'll leave immediately," Jiang Man suggested.

The woman slightly raised her eyes, glanced at Jiang Man, and said, "Jiang Man of the Misty Cloud Sect?"

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised, and then said, "I am Qin Wen from the Misty Cloud Sect."

The woman calmly replied, "Do as you please."

Hearing this, Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he went to the tree and reached out to touch it.

The Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books were activated immediately.

The pages turned, finally settling on page seventeen.

[The Innate Enlightenment Tree: In ancient times, the Xuanhuang Tide submerged the forest, and one tree grew against the tide, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and becoming extraordinary. After the tribulations of heaven and earth, it was covered and spread by the Tianyi Array, branching out into countless opportunities for advancement, falling into various secret realms. Cultivating under the tree can grant a wisp of enlightenment, and one's cultivation technique or spell will progress rapidly; only three such opportunities are achieved every fifty years.]

[Recording the Innate Enlightenment Tree will yield a wisp of magical purple energy (obtainable)]

Jiang Man withdrew his hand and remained silent for a long time.

There are only three paths in total, and there are already three people under the tree.

Then they really have no reason to stay here.

Then he left with his men.

"Jiang Man?" another man asked as the others left.

"Yes." The woman nodded and said, "It's the late-stage Golden Core realm that we need to test."

"Then you'll let him go?" the man asked.

The woman said nonchalantly, "It was just something I did on the spur of the moment. Let him look for opportunities first. There's no rush to test things out. He can try again next time he encounters an opportunity."

At this moment, the man with the sword on his knees said, "There's no need to make things too difficult for him. Since he and Ji Meng from the collateral branch are a good match, we don't need to meddle. We should let him off the hook if we can."

"However, we can observe what kind of person he is, focusing on his character but being more lenient on his abilities."

"Besides, he is someone that Young Master Ji values. Even if your fathers have ideas, you should think them over."

“I understand. This is a test. I will suppress it to the late stage of Golden Core and give it a try,” the woman said.

The three then closed their eyes and continued to absorb the opportunity.

In an instant, the man with the sword stood up.

The other two were somewhat surprised: "What's wrong?"

"The clan used a special secret method to find me. They need to find someone named Shangguan Yang." The man took a deep breath, suppressing the opportunity, and said, "You all continue to digest this. I'll go first."

-

Mist Cloud Sect.

Ji Meng, who was drinking water, suddenly looked up.

He looked up at the sky and frowned.

"What's wrong, Miss?" Qingdai asked.

Ji Meng was somewhat surprised: "My physical body is asleep, but my mind is here. Yet I can still sense spatial fluctuations from the power of my physical body. The Immortal Sect Competition has opened a gap."

"It seems something has happened over there. It's likely that an evil god is behind it."

"The son-in-law is inside. I wonder if we'll run into him," Qingdai said with some worry.

Ji Meng shook her head: "Theoretically, there shouldn't be any relationship between him and me, but in reality, it's hard to say."

"The young master is very good at finding things." Qingdai couldn't help but sigh. "He can even find Miss's sword. I'm afraid he will find some strange things in the Immortal Sect Competition. The young master is really strange."

Ji Meng withdrew her gaze and began to read.

Qingdai pondered for a moment and then asked, "Miss, what have you thought about the Grand Elder's suggestion?"

"What do you think?" Ji Meng asked.

"There's a big problem, though. The Bai family patriarch might come and try to kill you, Miss," Qingdai said.

“You’re wrong. Even if this news doesn’t get out, he’ll still come looking for us,” Ji Meng said.

Qingdai was puzzled: "He shouldn't know Miss's whereabouts."

“He’s found everyone the Immortal Sect was looking for, and we can’t escape him either,” Ji Meng said casually. “Tell him I’ve agreed.”

The news spread quickly.

Within a few days, the general news had reached Ji Hao from the Ji family.

He looked at the message, first surprised, then helpless.

But the first thing he did was to leave his residence.

They stepped into the air and arrived above Tianyuan Peak.

A terrifying pressure emanated from his body.

"Now we have a legitimate reason to take action."

At this moment, at Tianyuan Peak of the Misty Cloud Sect.

it's dark!
