The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 309 Ji Meng: Is he blaming me?

The people from Zhenyue Division came and went quickly.

After the investigation, Jiang Man and the others returned to normal.

The task remains the same.

All that remains is to be vigilant about your surroundings.

The appearance of the earth spirit beast cast a shadow over everyone's hearts, as they had been completely unaware of it.

Although Zhenyue Si explained it as an accident, such an accident is bound to happen again.

Jiang Man inquired with the female demon beast and learned of the strangeness and difficulty of the earth spirit beast appearing here silently.

Furthermore, they exhibit different states.

Normally, earth spirit beasts only become aggressive when they are taking a normal walk.

They all move in the same direction, but there is no pattern to this direction; they just go wherever they end up.

"So their aggressive behavior was intentional," Jiang Man guessed.

At that time, the earth spirit beasts were after Senior Brother Yang, so he was probably also a pawn that was abandoned.

The person who arranged all of this must be from the Black Spirit Abyss.

Their strength is not low.

Jiang Man returned to his residence, thinking to himself, "This is dangerous."

In the past, everyone would compete and learn from each other, because it concerned their own interests, and at most they would severely damage their opponents.

This time it's different; the other side's target is to kill me.

If they don't want to miss this opportunity for an overseas mission, they'll probably make another move.

Danger could strike at any moment.

Jiang Man took a deep breath and decided to write a letter to Miss Ji Meng first.

I might have to go to the Ji family soon.

He possesses a magical artifact that forces him to be sent to the Ji family when his life is threatened.

I suppose this magic weapon can protect me.

But he wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die.

Can magical artifacts be as useful as one's own strength?
After summoning the seven-colored bird, Jiang Man began to write, informing the other party that he had been sealed off for a long time, seemingly due to the influence of an evil spirit, which was why he hadn't had time to write.
-

Mist Cloud Sect.

Ji Meng stared at the letter in silence for a long time.

"Miss, what is the young master writing?" Qingdai asked curiously, craning her neck.

This time, Ji Meng did not avoid it, but handed the letter to the other party.

"The Black Spirit Abyss has been sealed off by evil gods? How dare they?" Qingdai was somewhat shocked, and then said, "What is the purpose of these evil gods? Could it be related to the young master? Moreover, Zui Fusheng actually appeared. This mysterious inspector has never appeared openly before, and no one has been able to find out his background yet."

After a pause, Qingdai looked at her silent mistress and asked, "Is Miss worried about the impact of the rumors on the young master? The impact is indeed quite significant."

Ji Meng was silent for a moment, then shook her head slightly: "No."

Qingdai was taken aback, thinking that her young mistress was really calm and not worried about the young master's safety at all.

Could it be that the young lady doesn't value her son-in-law enough?
Was my previous feeling wrong?

At this moment, Ji Meng finally spoke up: "He said he was blocked, which is why he hasn't written to me for so long."

Qingdai was completely confused: "Yes, it's not the son-in-law's fault. I think it's reasonable. We can't expect the son-in-law to find a way to write letters when the country is under lockdown, can we?"

Ji Meng raised her eyebrows, looked at Qing Dai, and said softly, "But I wasn't blocked. Is he asking me why I didn't write to him when he was blocked?"

Upon hearing this, Qingdai felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Her hand holding the letter involuntarily loosened; she had a feeling in her heart.

Is the lady a fake?
Was she replaced by someone named Himeko?
At this moment, Ji Meng began writing a letter: "Since I began cultivating, and even until I became a primordial spirit, I have never experienced anything like this. I have become accustomed to waiting and being passive, and have forgotten that this kind of thing, which I have never encountered before, is a two-way process."

-

"I've been habitually thinking about the circumstances under which Young Master Jiang would write an envelope, and I've forgotten a lot of things," Jiang Man read the contents of the envelope, somewhat shocked for a moment.

Unfortunately, Lao Huang wasn't there, and there was no one to share his excitement with.

Is Miss Himeko saying that she's been waiting for him to write a letter all along?
"Miss Ji Meng spoke differently this time; she was warmer. Is she really the one I'm going to marry?" Jiang Man thought back.

I felt that my wife was cold towards me back then, looking at me as if I were a person who was about to die.

To put it bluntly, it's like looking at corpses.

Although he kept calling me "husband" afterward, the thought of that cold feeling still gave me the creeps.

But now, looking back from Ms. Himeko's perspective, the creepy feeling is gone.

Current perception influences the feelings in memory.

After that, Jiang Man stopped thinking about it and put away the envelope to begin cultivating.

We must quickly improve our Nine-Star Body Refining Technique and teach that peerless genius a lesson.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the other party wanted to break him up with his wife.

In addition, hidden dangers must also be dealt with carefully.

You need to leave yourself a way out.

It's early April now, as long as we can hold on until July.

Then you can meet Tingfengyin and see what his opinion is.

Mid-April.

Jiang Man has been surrounded by numerous mazes and traps.

Especially the Mountain and Sea Maze.

Connecting to the Black Spirit Abyss formation would allow him to leave this place quickly.

He also wore the array furnace, making it difficult to find him.

The methods of the evil god were also being secretly accumulated.

If there is a real danger to life, there is no need to worry about being exposed.

Next is to improve the Nine-Star Body Refining Technique.

In early May, Jiang Man fully comprehended the cultivation technique. It took a while, but everything went relatively smoothly.

Then he began his cultivation.

First time.

getting Started.

Second time.

Second floor.

The third time.

Three floors.

The next day.

Eight floors.

Two days later.

Nine floors.

Jiang Man did not stop cultivating, and during this time he sensed some changes in the formation.

After removing it, they found that there were some things around the formation.

He used the Heavenly Mirror Hundred Books to examine it.

Not worth mentioning.

Jiang Man had to figure it out on his own.

They discovered something was eroding their formation, but the core of the formation was fine.

Just to be safe, he touched the core of his formation.

The core of the formation is about to be eroded.

Undetectable erosion? Luckily, he had been suspicious for a moment.

Afterwards, Jiang Man changed the core of the formation.

Then I touched it again.

Not worth mentioning.

Jiang Man wasn't sure whether this insignificant thing hadn't been corrupted or had been corrupted but remained silent.

However, he was certain that someone was plotting against him in secret.

But they seem hesitant to make a big show of it.

Let's just keep delaying.

In addition, he began to activate the Rosemary Array, extending it in the abnormal direction and covering it with the array's furnace.

Let's gamble on the opponent's skill in formations.

If it's too high, it will be discovered.

If the other party fails to discover
That would be a different story.

After doing all this, he sent a message to Zhenyue Division using the identity of Zui Fusheng.

Tell Zhenyue Division here to inform Mu Kong that he may interrogate him at any time, and hope he understands.

Sure enough, he sensed the coordinates the next day.

This provides an alternative path.

However, it is easily exposed, so it should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

After that came cultivation, but things kept happening during that time.

The poisonous fog drifted into their area.

Or perhaps a monster has gone berserk.

Tao was injured twice.

Jiang Man made two moves.

“Senior brother, something seems off here, but the inspection found nothing wrong, and the report also showed the same thing,” Zheng Yan said to Jiang Man.

Jiang Man nodded: "Okay, I'll give you some array stones, you can set them up."

They all nodded.

After that, Jiang Man would have them replace the array stones every few days. Although they were puzzled, they continued to replace them.

Fortunately, no major problems arose.

They weren't sure if it was because the array stones had been replaced, because they found that the array stones were fine.

Its strength was not diminished.

But Jiang Man's prestige prevented them from questioning him.

Everything the other party does has a reason.

They just can't understand it.

Early June.

Jiang Man practiced the Nine Star Body Refining Technique one last time.

In an instant, it was as if nine vortexes of qi and blood opened up in his body.

It seems that as long as these are filled, powerful damage can be dealt.

However, it requires magical activation to be used to its fullest potential.

However, he was not in a hurry and chose to improve his physical body.

With one more upgrade, the spirit level can be raised to the seventh level.

Time is running out.

His destiny as an unparalleled genius has given him little time left.

In addition, his array furnace continued to burn and spread without any abnormalities.

He touched it a few more times.

They are all insignificant.

It is highly likely that it has not been discovered.

On the contrary, the formation set up here kept having problems, and he had to touch it at first.

After a while, you'll notice subtle changes and can simply replace it.

That day he began to examine the extension of the formation.

After analysis, three locations were identified.

Now we should go and check, and continue to wait. Waiting another three days will provide a more accurate result.

After a slight hesitation, he felt he could delay a little longer.

-

Black Spirit Abyss.

In the shadows of the woods, in a place unnoticed by anyone.

"Strange, is Jiang Man's skill in formations really that high? He seems to know we're targeting his formation erosion." A man in the darkness sighed. "In that case, it's highly likely that Yang Zhao was killed by him, but how exactly did he succeed?"

"Never mind that. Yang Zhao isn't one of ours. Since he failed, let's temporarily stop cooperating with him. The sect has started using magic weapons. Also, Zui Fusheng is in this area. Although we don't understand what he's up to, we have to be careful." Another female voice rang out.

"It's a pity. We can only wait for his next mission to study his formation and kill him silently next time. But would killing him really be useful? Would it bring great trouble to the immortal sect?" the man said slowly.

"Never mind that. That's just how missions are. With his strength, he'll definitely take on missions to improve." The woman's voice was cold. "A Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak level can only severely injure him. It seems we need to be more cautious next time to guard against his hidden trump cards."

"Perhaps he can only use his trump card once. The Great Rejuvenation of the Immortal Sect won't last much longer. They don't even realize how serious their problems are." The man chuckled.

They then quickly retreated.

Just as they were about to leave the woods, a soft light suddenly entered their eyes.

Then they saw a figure of light appear ahead, dressed in a robe of light, walking through the forest.

The light vanished in the next instant.

Their alarms blared.

Just as their power was about to spread.

A hand rested on their shoulder, and the voice carried a hint of coldness: "A rat in the gutter."

"Senior, who is it?" the woman asked softly.

Before the words were even finished, the two of them instantly unleashed all their strength and struck backward.

Jiang Man withdrew his hand and directly exchanged a palm strike with the two of them.

boom!
The force surged like a tidal wave, tearing open the ground behind the two men and revealing ravines.

The next instant, their arms shattered into pieces with a loud bang.

The two of them were sent flying backwards.

But they immediately gritted their teeth and steadied themselves.

"Split up and escape," the man immediately ordered.

Jiang Man took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the woman in black robes.

He struck out with a palm.

In desperation, the opponent countered with a palm strike.

boom!
The force extended backward once more.

This time, the attack landed directly on the fleeing man.

The other person glanced back, and then with a loud bang, he exploded.

The evil god's power instantly crushed his primordial spirit.

The woman's only remaining arm was also shattered.

"Senior, we have no conflict of interest," the woman said, looking at the person in front of her in fear.

“I need all the information you have,” Jiang Man said.

"I don't know what you're talking about, senior."

"Then let me remind you? Who wants to instigate a war between the immortal sects?"

Upon hearing this, the woman was terrified.

She never understood why such a big shot as Zui Fusheng would appear in such a small place.

Only now has she come to her senses.

The purpose was to track down the person behind the war between the immortal sects.

That makes sense.

Without further hesitation, she was about to activate her primordial spirit.

Having learned his lesson once, Jiang Man interrupted the other party directly.

They then knocked the person unconscious.

"It seems we won't get any information out of them. Besides, the sect must have noticed this place. We need to leave as soon as possible."

Upon inspection, only this woman possessed a storage magic item.

After taking him away, he sent a message to the Zhenyue Division.

The importance of the matter was mentioned, but the exact level of importance was not specified.

They only said that it had to be handed over to the sect, and that the sect would report to the immortal sect.

Jiang Man then returned to his residence.

Only after erasing the traces did I breathe a sigh of relief.

This should be much safer.

Indeed, it's often necessary to eliminate unstable factors as early as possible; time waits for no one.

The same applies to cultivation.

I need to practice even harder.

The appearance and disappearance of Zui Fusheng will surely make more people with ideas wary.

Therefore, now should be the safest time.

Sure enough, nothing happened for the next month.

The Zhenyue Division reported more information, such as Mu Kong's relocation and the newly captured women.

Furthermore, the issue of the evil god is still under investigation, and more support is expected to arrive.

Jiang Man didn't pay much attention to this.

Instead, he continued his cultivation.

Early July.

Jiang Man's first gourd was finally full.

He has reached the point where he can advance to the next level. In ten days at most, his physical body will reach the middle stage.

Then, the spirit opens the sixth gourd.

However, he hadn't even been promoted yet.

A river then flowed towards him.

Immediately afterwards, the path beneath his feet was covered by a new road.

The road is overgrown with vegetation, and a rich spiritual energy follows.

Finally, the stone tablet approached and stopped in front of him.

Seeing this, Jiang Man breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "They've finally arrived."

He had been looking forward to this for a long time, and he had devoted himself to it during this period.

They were terrified of a sudden attack from a powerful opponent.

After all, these people don't kill enemies of the same level.

If it weren't for some reservations, they probably would have sent several Void Returners to send him on his way.

Even the most extraordinary geniuses in their youth are ultimately just ordinary cultivators.

"It seems you're happy to see me, but your cultivation is a bit lacking, and it's been another year of laziness." Ting Fengyin's voice echoed in his mind.

Jiang Man: "."

The joy was quickly washed away.
