Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 645 The Old Man of the End
After Xu Ming and Lin Xingluo left the Kingdom of Myriad Elephants, the two headed straight for the Central Plains.

In Xu Ming's view, he had no meaning left in the Southern Demon Kingdom.

If that's the case, I'd better hurry back to the Central Plains.

Otherwise, Xu Ming felt that he was in quite danger here.

After all, he was a cultivator at the Jade Purity Realm.

Moreover, to put it another way, or to put it in a more narcissistic and arrogant way...

He was not an ordinary cultivator at the Jade Purity Realm.

He believed himself to be the future leader of the Central Plains.

Therefore, the Southern Demon Kingdom and the Central Plains are currently engaged in a struggle.

How could I possibly let them get away with this?

If they find out your location, you will likely face endless pursuit.

It is highly likely that cultivators at the Ascension Realm will soon make their appearance.

Just as Xu Ming and Lin Xinglu were about to leave the Southern Demon Kingdom, with only a day or two's journey left.

Suddenly, a man blocked Xu Ming and Lin Xingluo's path.

This man flew directly in front of Xu Ming.

He looked as if he had been waiting for Xu Ming there all along.

Xu Ming frowned as he looked at the man.

In the Southern Demon Kingdom, Xu Ming had no friends.

My only friend is Bai Libing.

If they're not friends, then they're very likely enemies.

After all, the other party knows you.

Xu Ming didn't think he had just run into them by chance.

Furthermore, the path I chose avoids many sects.

It can be described as a rather remote flight route.

This is a remote and sparsely populated area; very few people come here.

Not to mention the other person's appearance; it was obvious they were there to wait for him.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xu Ming stepped forward, bowed to the man in front of him, and said politely.

next moment.

The man turned around.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Xu Ming.

He hadn't even said a word yet.

The next moment, he swung his longsword.

A gust of wind slammed directly into Xu Ming's body.

Xu Ming frowned.

He dodged the wave of sword energy to the side, cleaving a mountaintop in two.

This man has not given up yet.

Immediately afterwards, the man stepped forward with his sword and thrust it at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming simply dodged to the left.

He then delivered a punch straight to the opponent's heart.

Xu Ming showed no mercy with that punch.

Xu Ming's goal was to kill his opponent with a single punch.

However, when Xu Ming's punch landed squarely on the opponent's chest, Xu Ming only felt that the opponent's chest was as hard as steel.

Xu Ming's punch was unable to break through the opponent's sword energy defense.

However, Xu Ming not only possesses martial arts true qi, but also sword qi!
Xu Ming infused his own sword energy into his fist.

In just a split second, Xu Ming's sword energy pierced through the opponent's body.

The opponent was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"I have long admired Young Master Xu's reputation, and seeing him today, I can confirm that he is indeed extraordinary."

The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled at Xu Ming.

His expression even carried a hint of smugness.

Xu Ming frowned as he looked at the man.

He didn't know what was going on with this man.

If he was trying to cause me trouble, why would he be so polite to me?

But if he wasn't causing trouble for me, what did he mean just now?
Why did they attack me for no reason?
This man seems to be a collection of contradictions.

Could this be some kind of madman who went mad from practicing cultivation?

Xu Ming looked at the other person calmly: "Just say what you have to say, don't waste time talking nonsense. I hate nonsense the most."

Xu Ming was genuinely unaware of the other party's intentions.

In Xu Ming's view, the other party seemed to be deliberately testing him.

"It's nothing, it's just that my master would like to invite you, Young Master Xu, for a cup of tea. I wonder if you have the time?"

"Inviting me for tea?" Xu Ming frowned, and even sneered a few times.

"Is this how your master invites me for tea? To send you here to cause me trouble?"

Xu Ming stared coldly at the other person.

"Please forgive me, Young Master Xu. My master did instruct me to treat you with courtesy and invite you over for a cup of tea. However, I have long admired your reputation, so I couldn't resist the urge to exchange a few words with you. If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me."

This man spoke very politely, a stark contrast to his previous arrogant demeanor.

"What if I say I don't have time to go to your master's place for tea?"

Xu Ming continued to look at the other party coldly.

"If that's the case, then I'm in a very difficult position."

However, Master has already said that Young Master Xu should go for tea, so I will also think of some ways to go on Young Master Xu's behalf.

Otherwise, if I were to return alone, I fear I would be punished by my master. I hope Young Master Xu can understand.

Just as this person finished speaking, Xu Ming took a step forward.

The immortal sword in his hand, Red Sleeve, pierced right in front of this man.

This man had already made preparations in his heart.

He deftly dodged Xu Ming's sword by sidestepping.

Immediately afterwards, the man took out a pair of swords and swung them out like two dragons, lunging towards Xu Ming.

But Xu Ming wasn't worried at all.

Xu Ming took another step forward, and in an instant, thunderclouds rolled across the sky.

The longsword in Xu Ming's hand was imbued with sword energy.

Xu Ming unleashed his sword energy, as if to cleave the world in two.

By the time the man realized what was happening, Xu Ming's sword energy had already completely severed the two long dragons of sword energy he had unleashed!

The next moment, the man only felt a flash of light before his eyes.

In an instant, Xu Ming's sword energy was already pointing at the opponent's brow.

If only Xu Ming could move forward just a little more.

Then you can kill this man with one sword.

However, Xu Ming did not kill him; Xu Ming simply looked at him calmly.

As for the man, he calmly looked at Xu Ming, as if waiting for Xu Ming to make a move, without any panic in his heart.

Xu Ming calmly watched all of this, while Lin Xingluo was not worried about the cultivator in front of her at all.

The cultivator in front of me was of a high level, and he looked like he was at the Immortal Realm.

But in reality, it doesn't pose much of a threat to their young master.

His biggest worry was his mentor.

He sensed that his master was at least at the Ascension Realm. "Take me to your master's side."

Xu Ming spoke calmly.

"Alright, that's fine. Young Master Xu, please come with me."

The cultivator nodded and flew off in one direction.

Xu Ming and Lin Xingluo followed him and flew forward.

Xu Ming went with the other person because he was curious about who his master was.

Moreover, logically speaking, if his master is a very powerful cultivator...

Regardless of the circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for me to leave this Southern Demon Kingdom.

If the other party tries to kill him, his master will attack along with his disciple.

Instead of having someone come and invite you.

Since he sent a disciple to invite him, it means that he doesn't actually want to have too much conflict with him.

Since that's the case, I'll go and take a look.

Let's see who knows me and who invited me for tea.

About an hour had passed.

This man led Xu Ming to a mountain range.

This mountain range stretches endlessly, and the spiritual energy within it is extremely rich.

In the very middle of this mountain range, there is a mountain that pierces the clouds.

This mountain is like a pillar of heaven.

Judging from the spiritual energy emanating from the mountain, this mountain is extremely terrifying. You can even see all sorts of rare and exotic beasts circling and leaping above it.

This mountain seems to be a fairyland on earth.

Such a mansion is quite extraordinary in winter.

And the owner of this extraordinary blessed land is even more unknown; who knows what kind of powerful being he is.

"The Old Man at the End of His Life".

Suddenly, a name popped into Xu Ming's mind.

Xu Ming wasn't completely ignorant about the demon race's world.

Xu Ming also knew that there was a very powerful cultivator in the Southern Demon Kingdom.

This cultivator can be described as the most outrageous existence in the entire Southern Demon Kingdom.

He lived a very long life and attained a very high level of spiritual attainment.

There are even rumors that he has reached the lost second realm.

Just like Mr. Xiao.

The Old Man of the End rarely takes action and seldom interferes with the entire Southern Demon Kingdom.

The Old Man of the End rarely comes out from Mount End.

His disciples are all cultivators at the Morning Realm, each capable of roaming freely throughout the world.

With that, the man waved his hand.

The magic array on Mount End dissipated.

The man carried Xu Mingfei to the summit of Mount End.

After reaching the mountaintop, the man led Xu Ming forward continuously.

Xu Ming was also looking at the scenery around him.

Although this mountain is not much different from other ordinary mountains.

But in reality, the spiritual energy on this mountain is so dense that it's terrifying.

The intensity was so strong that it felt impossible to get used to it.

The spiritual energy on this mountain is like a giant spirit-gathering array.

Only an extremely large spirit-gathering array could condense so much spiritual power.

Finally, the man led Xu Ming to a courtyard.

In the courtyard, an old man was playing chess with a young monk.

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment when he saw the little monk.

Xu Ming naturally knew who this young monk was.

This young monk was Maitreya Buddha, who was in that secret realm at that time.

It left a deep impression on Xu Ming at the time.

After the secret realm shattered, Xu Ming could sense that he had escaped from this place.

But what was unexpected was that this monk actually came to Zhongyan Mountain.

Moreover, he is currently with this old man of the End from the Southern Demon Kingdom.

Xu Ming didn't know how the two of them ended up playing chess together.

"Master, Young Master Xu has arrived."

The man bowed to his master.

But the old man and the monk seemed not to hear their disciple's words and continued playing chess.

At this moment, the man next to Xu Ming gave an awkward smile.

“My master is like this. Once he starts playing chess, he basically ignores everything else unless the game is over. Sometimes he doesn’t even know when he’s eating. Please forgive him, Young Master Xu. This is absolutely not an intentional neglect of you.”

"It's okay, I'll just wait."

Xu Ming wasn't in a hurry, so he sat on a rock to the side and waited.

The man was also very polite.

He picked some fruit and some spiritual spring water from the bamboo forest and gave them to Xu Ming and Lin Xingluo.

Lin Xingluo glanced at her young master, her eyes seeming to worry whether the spring water and fruit were poisonous.

However, Xu Ming shook his head and didn't care.

Because it's impossible for the other party to poison him.

If the other party wanted to kill them, they would just do it directly; there would be no need to use poison.

The level of understanding attained by this middle-aged elder is absolutely beyond my reach.

I estimate I wouldn't last more than 10 rounds under his control.

Seeing that her young master had eaten the fruit so readily, Lin Xingluo didn't say anything and continued eating her own fruit.

After finishing their meal, the young monks and the old man in the courtyard all put down their chess pieces.

The old man stroked his beard and laughed, "Hahaha, it seems I've won this time."

"You won, so what? It's a rare win for you, is there any need to be so happy?"

The little monk seemed completely unconcerned about winning or losing. He simply patted his belly, then took a watermelon from the side and took a bite.

"Master, Young Master Xu has arrived."

After his master finished playing chess, the man stepped forward and spoke to his master again.

At this moment, the old man did indeed hear the voice of his disciple.

He was startled and looked out of the courtyard, only to see Xu Ming sitting on a rock.

Xu Ming stood up and gestured towards the Old Man of the End:
"Junior Xu Ming greets senior."

Although the opponent was a demon cultivator, his cultivation level was indeed much higher than his own, making him a senior.

In any case, it's always right to try diplomacy first and then resort to force.

"I have met Young Master Xu."

The old man returned the greeting, then scolded his disciple.

"You rascal, Young Master Xu has already arrived, and you still didn't wake me up, making me play chess over there. Aren't you inconveniencing his guest?"

The man's brow twitched slightly, and he didn't dare to say anything more, but he was already complaining in his heart. If he woke up his master, he would be the one who got scolded in the end.

"Young Master Xu, please come in. My disciple is ignorant, please forgive him."

The old man ignored his disciple and walked up to Xu Ming, happily pulling him into the courtyard.
