The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 18 My Husband, the Magpie Bridge is About to Open

Jiang Man had no idea what his wife's name was.

Their strength, methods, and identity were completely unknown to them.

It's definitely not simple.

The very fact that he possesses the destiny of an unparalleled genius carries an air of mystery.

I've never heard of such a thing falling on you just because you're doing a wedding ceremony.

Now the old ox says her methods have arrived.

Although it's not as good as her coming in person, it's still worrying.

After all, in the end, the other party was the nominal victim, while he and the old ox were the vicious demons.

Although I am also a victim, the other party will not think that way.

Once their forces arrive.

It's likely to be a bad omen.

"Now that they've used their methods, does that mean our location is about to be exposed?" Jiang Man immediately asked.

The old ox shook his head and said, "It's not that she's coming here. Even if she's strong enough, she couldn't possibly come here so quickly."

"It's just that I made a move against her back then, and now she's using the same methods I used to influence me."

Jiang Man observed the old ox.

I noticed something flickering on it, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

"Is this her method?" Jiang Man asked.

"This is the price for getting you a wife," the old ox corrected.

Jiang Man was taken aback, then immediately said, "Senior, I am a person with the destiny of an unparalleled genius. I am the one who will suffer the most in this matter of getting married. I could lose my life at any time. You can't blame me for the injuries you have."

This time, the other party only gained a husband in name only; her chastity remains intact.

He not only gained a wife in name, but also a fatal destiny.

That was the most tragic.

He won't take the blame for what he did.

“She’s trying to find me,” Old Ox said calmly, glancing at Jiang Man.

Jiang Man was silent for a moment before asking, "What should I do?"

“Use your spiritual energy to respond to what's on me,” the old ox explained. “Her methods cover too great a distance.”

Even when I am weak, I can still fight against it.

The two sides are now evenly matched.

But to resolve it, you need to empathize with it and then bring it to the surface.

Jiang Man didn't have any doubts, after all, the man and the ox were in the same boat.

Then he touched Old Huang's head and began to communicate with the flickering light and shadow using his spiritual energy.

Because the progress was too rapid, the weight of the spiritual energy made the body quite uncomfortable.

Therefore, he operated very carefully.

He soon sensed something flickering between light and darkness.

There was indeed an aura of destruction lingering within the old ox's body, which was extremely dangerous.

Immediately, Jiang Man connected them together and then gradually drew them out of his body.

Finally, all the flickering light and shadow fell into his palm and transformed into a ball of light.

Jiang Man was quite taken aback. What kind of thing was this?
Before he could do anything, the ball of light began to expand, and then a voice entered Jiang Man's mind: "Husband, the Magpie Bridge is about to open, I will find you soon. What kind of funeral do you prefer?"

Jiang Man lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat flustered.

"What's wrong?" the old ox asked with a sigh of relief.

Jiang Man truthfully told the other party what had happened, and then asked, "Didn't you say that the Magpie Bridge only opens once a year? Why is it suddenly opening?"

The old ox remained silent for a moment, then said, "She's lying to you, don't worry about it."

Jiang Man wasn't sure who was telling the truth, but asked curiously, "Senior, aren't you her match?"

"It's hard to say. If we launch a sneak attack when we're in good condition, we still have a chance of winning." Old Ox hesitated for a moment before continuing, "However, she's probably looking for my real name. If she finds it, we'll be in even more danger."

"Then what should we do?" Jiang Man asked.

"Even a toad can eat swan meat, what can we do?" the old ox said coldly. "You should think about whether you can survive after a hundred days."

Jiang Man sighed, realizing he hadn't gotten to eat any meat.

But there's really no need to overthink it.

Because now, there's nothing he can do.

"By the way, if you survive and manage to join a sect, remember to take me with you," the old ox said.

He then explained the reason.

It is said that if that fairy can make a move once, she can make a move a second time.

If it doesn't help draw out those orbs of light, then it's in danger.

Jiang Man thought he could grasp the opponent's weakness.

However, the old ox added that if it wasn't lured out, it would not only suffer damage, but its location might also be revealed to the other party.

No one can escape it. Therefore, Jiang Man agreed.

However, they did gain some initiative.

“Brother Niu, leave it to me from now on,” Jiang Man said earnestly.

Old Ox glanced at Jiang Man, seemingly oblivious to the downgrade in address.

The next day.

Jiang Man arrived at the Sixth Courtyard early in the morning.

Today is the day to update scores and rankings.

He was also curious about how many points he would get.

Although there were some guesses, if the Qi Refining Method was exposed, the score would be one or two points higher.

Secondly, there's the ranking.

At the third level of Qi Refining, one's ranking won't be too high, given the two-year time difference.

But I see the rankings improving.

I'm quite looking forward to it.

He wasn't the only one concerned about rankings and scores.

Rather, it is true for everyone.

Almost all the cultivators in the backyard of Qingyun Pavilion came.

"Xiao Jiang, you're here?" Little Fatty greeted him with a smile.

He remained confident and excited.

"Did you estimate the score?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

"Of course." Little Fatty nodded seriously, a smile on his face. "My score is something you need to look up to, but these are all minor things, we don't need to worry about them."

Let's take a look at the scores of the top four.

Jiang Man nodded with a smile.

Little Fatty never asked Jiang Man how many points she estimated, and Jiang Man wasn't in a hurry to answer either.

We'll wait for the subsequent rankings to come out.

I imagine Little Fatty will come over and ask questions.

Soon, amidst everyone's expectant gazes, Zhao Leming entered.

Just like the first time he came in, he was carrying a lot of papers.

It contains information about everyone in the Sixth Courtyard.

The score, ranking, and comments are all on it.

Even cultivation level and technique level are recorded.

At this moment, the sixth courtyard was very quiet, with everyone looking at Zhao Leming at the front.

In one month, they all made progress.

I want to make sure I'm making progress.

Zhao Leming was somewhat surprised, as the score was partly based on what the book itself showed and partly on the evaluations given by each teacher.

But there won't be a huge difference.

So he was extremely surprised when he saw Jiang Man's score.

My suspicions were becoming more and more likely to be true.

I'm also glad I didn't do anything more to it.

Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

He then distributed the papers.

Distributed according to previous rankings.

Soon everyone received their papers.

Only then did Zhao Leming speak up: "At noon, Qingyun Pavilion will announce the rankings in each courtyard, and the top fifty rankings will also be announced in the backyard."

Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with anticipation.

Those with higher rankings especially want to see if they can get into the top ten in the courtyard and the top fifty in Qingyun Pavilion.

At this moment, Little Fatty leaned over and gently touched Jiang Man, saying, "Little Jiang, what's your score? Let me see."

Jiang Man came to his senses. He realized that he couldn't get into the external rankings anymore, so there was no need to pay too much attention to him.

Now you should compare yourself to the chubby kid next to you.

He smiled and said, "I haven't seen it yet, have you?"

Little Fatty chimed in, "I haven't seen it yet either. How about we swap? I'll let you experience the high score."

“Okay,” Jiang Manxin readily agreed.

I asked for the wrong monthly votes; it should be for today.

We can only let nature take its course.
