The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 223 The Immortal Sect is the Evil Path
The cold winter wind swept across the pavilion, and Qingdai stood gracefully to the side, her almond-shaped eyes glancing curiously at the figure by the stone table.

My son-in-law has been gone for more than half a month, and finally wrote a letter.

She was really curious about what she had seen and heard in the letter, but unfortunately the young lady kept the letter very well hidden and wouldn't let her see it at all.

However, you could tell from the slight curve of the young lady's eyes that she was happy.

“Miss, your husband wrote you a letter. You should reply. That way, he will write even more. Writing letters is about giving feedback. This way, there will be more communication and more anticipation,” Qingdai said as she poured water for her mistress.

At this moment, Meng Qiewei still looks like Ji Meng.

She also consistently identified with Himeko's personality.

But the changes in Qingdai were still somewhat unexpected.

"Who taught you that?" Ji Meng asked.

With her eyebrows arched, Qingdai smiled smugly and said, "There are countless hidden talents out there, possessing extraordinary wisdom."

Unfortunately, I have met one.

"I always ask her when I have a question."

"If you have any questions, Miss, you can ask me. I can provide you with the answers."

Ji Meng glanced at Qingdai, then said nothing more.

Qingdai didn't mind her mistress's silence, and quietly took out paper and pen.

I hope you can reply, Miss.

The young lady may want to reply, but doesn't know how, so she may leave it unfinished, or even give up replying because of shame.

So all you need to do is offer some advice and get the things ready.

The young lady could then reply to the letter.

Qingdai was quite moved when she saw her mistress pick up the pen.

I've found a treasure this time.

The romantic entanglement between the son-in-law and the young lady is surprisingly interesting.

Unfortunately, the people in the clan are unaware of this and cannot share it with him.

She felt a little regretful every time she saw their guesses.

Knowing the answer but unable to explain it to them.

With tears in my eyes, I became the one who knew the most.

-

Jiang Man thought the other side wouldn't reply.

To my surprise, I received a reply just two days later.

He glanced at it; the handwriting was beautiful, and seeing the words was like seeing the person in person.

The above content is very simple.

Is it possible that those people who love cultivation were forced by someone?
By the way, Xiaoqing wanted to peek at the envelope, but she didn't give it to her.

She also mentioned that Ji Hao had given her a letter before.

They said they were asking Jiang Man a question.

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, feeling that she had been betrayed by Ji Hao.

Aside from being a little embarrassed, it's not a bad thing.

"Something's weird." Jiang Man looked at the envelope and felt a strange sensation that she hadn't experienced since they met.

But it's not bad.

Jiang Man put away the envelope and continued his cultivation.

Everyone else is cultivating, how can he fall behind?

I'll write to share when I come across something interesting.

January 1st.

Jiang Man and his group spent a month traveling from their sect across mountains to an unknown place in the east.

Passing by vast lakes and towering mountains.

They encountered many monsters and desolate, barren mountain ranges.

Finally, after crossing a maze of miasma, the view suddenly opened up before us.
Surrounded by mountains, a vibrant mountain range came into view.

Atop the peaks, pavilions and towers are scattered in a pleasing manner, with a faint spiritual aura appearing and disappearing among the mountains.

"We've arrived," Zhuo Qingcheng said.

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Where is this place?"

“There’s a Lingyue Sect on the Suspended Moon Mountain Range,” Zhuo Qingcheng explained.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man asked in surprise, "Sect?"

"Hmm." Zhuo Qingcheng nodded and said calmly, "The sects of ancient cultivators are not within the scope of the Immortal Sect's Great Governance, or you could say they are not under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Sect's Great Governance. They are sects established privately."

"The distance is too far and the situation is extremely complicated. The sect has no plans to deal with it for the time being."

"Especially since they haven't done anything too outrageous yet."

"So we went undercover to dismantle them?" Jiang Man asked.

It is not uncommon for ancient cultivators to establish sects.

After all, when we went to the overseas islands, there were also ancient cultivator forces there.

Not only that, there are also some evil god forces.

As long as it's not within the scope of the Immortal Sect's Great Governance, there's no need to worry too much.

Unless they've already started targeting ordinary people.

Otherwise, the sect wouldn't have sent people there, but some key places would still be guarded.

The same applies to overseas islands.

"No, and it won't be easy for us to dismantle this place." Zhuo Qingcheng looked at everyone and said, "Our main purpose in infiltrating here is to find out the source of spiritual energy. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be a place where spiritual energy is replenished."

"So we need to investigate."

"The sect is worried about being associated with evil gods or other special races."

"The previous group seemed to have found something, but their situation was not right."

"I only recently sent word back that something unexpected happened."

"Now it's our turn."

"Of course, we can also check their strength. If they are really related to an evil god, then we'll have to consider using force."

Jiang Man nodded, finding it quite simple, and then asked, "So how do we go undercover?"

“The Lingyue Sect has been recruiting disciples recently, we can try to join,” Han Meixue said with a smile.

Jiang Man asked, puzzled, "You're all getting on in years, are you sure you can manage?"

Han Meixue was stunned for a moment, speechless.

Zhuo Qingcheng calmly said, "Joining as a rogue cultivator should not be a problem. Most rogue cultivators are guards who escaped from the city where Yunqian Division is located."

“In every town, there will always be some people who have various reasons to flee.”

"Some of these people know the location of the ancient cultivators' sects, so they will spend a huge amount of money to travel over mountains and rivers to escape here."

"We are that kind of people now."

Jiang Man thought for a moment and realized that it would be too difficult to escape here.

Even with their Golden Core cultivation, it took them a month to arrive by flying on their swords.

We encountered many dangers along the way.

If one is merely a Qi Refining cultivator, then it is truly a matter of nine deaths and one life.

Once you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, you won't have any deep-seated hatred or grudges, and you're unlikely to flee your sect or the city where the Cloud Forward Division is located.

"Do we all have to pretend to be cultivating Qi?" Jiang Wen asked.

"Yes, everything has been prepared for you." Zhuo Qingcheng said, taking out clothes and identification.

Its origins and name are clearly written down.

An investigation can uncover the relevant individuals; they would never be discovered to be an undercover agent because of such a trivial matter.

Jiang Man obtained his identity.

An ambitious man, burdened by the hopes of his village after failing his college entrance exam, dared not return home and decided to venture out into the world.

After unexpectedly learning of the existence of the Lingyue Sect, he went through countless life-or-death experiences to seek the path of immortality.

At nineteen, he had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

He lost not because of talent, but because of resources.

Therefore, he firmly believed that he could make a name for himself. Give him a chance, and he would become famous in the town and become the hope of the village.

The villagers all called him Ah Niu.

"It suits me quite well," Jiang Man said with a sigh.

The only difference is that he is not the village's hope.

"Have you all figured out your identities? Change your clothes and make yourself look a little disheveled so you can participate in the sect entry assessment. Pay attention to the details, such as the injuries and mud on your legs. Don't make them too clean." Zhuo Qingcheng paused and continued, "Don't rush. Take your time. We'll reunite after things have settled down. Also, we can try to find a way to get closer to the core of the mountain range."

"We should be able to find out something from the investigation."

"In addition, we need to find a way to contact the people from before, as the secret method is also part of the identity."

"After entering the sect, the secret technique needs to be imprinted on the identity token. That depends on Jiang Man."

As she spoke, Zhuo Qingcheng looked at Jiang Man.

"No need for all that trouble." Jiang Man casually took out a formation stone, glanced at the secret technique, and then began to inscribe it.

Array patterns kept appearing at his fingertips.

After a while.

The stone split into five pieces.

Jiang Man looked at everyone and said, "Each of you has one piece. Most of the secret method is on it. Once you complete the last step, you can start sensing it."

"Unless the people of Lingyue Sect know the secret techniques, they are just ordinary stones no matter how you look at them."

"Of course, those who know a lot about formations will have doubts."

Just as Han Meixue was about to exclaim in surprise, Jiang Man continued, "In addition, you should first transfer a wisp of spiritual energy into it."

"Afterwards, your spiritual energy can trigger a concealment array. Two stones touching each other will create a soundproof array, three will trigger both soundproofing and concealment, four will trigger a perception array, and five will trigger both defense and attack, but the attack can only be controlled by me. "Each time will consume spiritual energy."

"In addition, it will break down in three months."

"I will prepare it for you again when the time comes."

The four of them were stunned.

Is this thing really that powerful?

When did array masters become so capable?

Han Meixue couldn't help but ask, "Do you really have a Daoist partner?"

Jiang Man nodded seriously: "Really."

Long Yangxia was also shocked: "Your methods truly live up to your reputation as a genius."

“He is an unparalleled genius,” Jiang Man corrected.

Everyone: "."

He's not humble at all, and quite flamboyant.

I don’t know if it’s good or bad.

However, they tried it, and it really was as Jiang Man had said.

Zhuo Qingcheng was relieved that she had Zhuo Bufan's help.

This time, the success rate of the mission has been significantly increased.

"Also, unless something major happens, I only cultivate," Jiang Man said.

Everyone: "."

Isn't it?

Is he still practicing while undercover?
Han Meixue whispered, "How are we supposed to properly infiltrate like this?"

"Alright, once the formation is sorted out, you can wait for further instructions," Zhuo Qingcheng said.

After giving some instructions, Zhuo Qingcheng dismissed the others.

Then head to Lingyue Sect.

Jiang Man was walking alone on the road when he soon saw other people.

A middle-aged man was leading five children toward the sect's main gate.

The middle-aged man has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The child looked to be about five or six years old.

At this moment, Jiang Man was also seen on the other side.

The other person frowned and said, "Heretical methods?"

Huh? Jiang Man was taken aback. Aren't you the ones who are heretical?

"Why do you think so, senior?" Jiang Man bowed respectfully and then took out five pieces of spiritual energy to ask.

"I can't see his cultivation level." Seeing Jiang Man's respect and the fact that he accepted the spiritual source, the middle-aged man relaxed his guard a bit and continued, "Only those of the evil path can hide their cultivation level under normal circumstances."

Jiang Man felt that what the other party was talking about was indeed a sect.

Normally, you really can't see their cultivation level.

The same applies to the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even those at the Golden Core stage would find it difficult to discern each other's cultivation level and realm.

The only option is to observe by hand.

Alternatively, it can be known through assessment scores.

So you have to ask how many points you got on the test. If the score isn't high enough, then it's not enough.

"The Lingyue Sect must accept people like me, right?" Jiang Man asked.

“Lingyue Sect doesn’t accept just anyone. If you’re too old or your cultivation is too weak, then it won’t work,” the middle-aged man said.

The two then went to the sect together.

On the way, Jiang Man looked at the children and asked, "They're so young, can they cultivate?"

Yun Qiansi all started cultivating at the age of sixteen.

The middle-aged man scoffed, "Those who practice heretical cultivation only start at sixteen; it's all because they lack talent."

"In fact, those with enough talent can begin cultivating at a young age."

"Closer to the innate state."

"As one grows up, one's innate energy disappears, making one less suitable for cultivation."

"The heretical sects use the false claim that anyone can cultivate in order to miss the best opportunity for cultivation."

"Let everyone's cultivation be limited, so that they may serve the strong for eternity."

"I am also extremely grateful."

"Only our Lingyue Sect truly teaches people how to cultivate immortality."

Jiang Man was somewhat shocked, thinking to himself that sects shouldn't be so narrow-minded, right? Old Huang, as a powerful evil god, also highly praised the great order of the immortal sects.

“I know you’re dissatisfied. Almost everyone who escapes from the heretical path is like this.” The middle-aged man said earnestly, “Once your cultivation level is high enough, and you become a Foundation Establishment cultivator or a Golden Core Ancestor, you will understand just how dark the heretical path’s governance really is.”

Jiang Man recalled that the most dark place should be the aristocratic families, but Yun Qian Si was fine. The outer sect was the safest, especially since the Foundation Establishment stage had the concept of hidden spirits. Everyone had a trump card, and even the strongest person would not dare to provoke others.

They were terrified of eating Tibetan spirits.

As for the inner sect, the fighting has become more open, but it hasn't gone too far.

For example, Xu Chen caused such a big problem, but in the end, no one dared to kill him.

While not being able to vent one's anger and seek revenge may mean less freedom, it's a good thing for most people.

If one can kill and plunder at will, then one's thoughts will not only be about how to steal from others, but more about how not to become someone else's meal.

“Those cultivators who are confined by rules and regulations, how can they be considered cultivators? They are merely mass-produced puppets. It is all a conspiracy of the evil path.” The middle-aged man sighed and continued, “The path of immortality is about freedom, a clear mind, being unrestrained, and soaring through the nine heavens.”

The other children listened with longing.

Jiang Man nodded in agreement: "What you say makes sense, senior. I came here for freedom."

Jiang Man's current priority is to infiltrate the organization; nothing else matters.

Just don't disturb his cultivation.

Lone Smoke Islands.

Chen Yu stood on the small boat and arrived outside the archipelago.

After a short wait, a rather plump figure appeared on the ship.

He looked at Chen Yu and said, "We have been unable to rescue the Immortal Envoy, and now we are leaderless, which makes everyone uneasy."

"They felt they needed a new messenger to lead us closer to the gods."

Chen Yu was silent for a moment before saying, "They've already chosen someone?"

No one would say such things if no one were chosen.

The round-faced man paused for a moment before saying, "Yes, there are three in total, but the other two are nothing special. Only one person has a very high demand."

"Who?" Chen Yu asked.

“Jiang Man,” the round-faced man said.

“He’s an undercover agent,” Chen Yu said in a low voice.

“But what undercover agent would directly reveal their identity? Not only that, how did an undercover agent get involved in the evil god's affair?” the round-faced man sighed. “That’s exactly what they were asking.”

"If he wasn't an undercover agent, how could he have gotten out safely?" Chen Yu countered.

"Because the immortals valued and helped him, otherwise how could he have left the Hall of Enforcement unscathed?" The round-faced man continued to sigh. "They were so certain that they believed Jiang Man was the chosen one and that only he could lead us."

Chen Yu was stunned. Were these people possessed?
The round-faced man continued, "Actually, Jiang Man revealed his identity, which made them feel more at ease."

"If there is a real problem, you can report it. If you can't report it, you can launch a sneak attack. At worst, you can take everyone down with you."

"No other envoy is as safe as him."

Some people are convinced that Jiang Man is valued by the immortals, while others feel that the risk is the lowest.

"In short, he's making the biggest appeal right now."

Chen remained silent for a long time without speaking.

The round-faced man asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Chen Yu shook his head slightly: "I won't do anything."

"You don't object?" the round-faced man asked.

Chen Yu recalled the sun he had seen with his own eyes, and sighed heavily, saying, "I don't object."

The round-faced man sighed and said, "Now we need to find a way to make him a Celestial Envoy."

The sixth secret realm of wells.

In the unfathomable void, a blurry girl's figure is slowly regaining her senses.

She immediately sensed that the lock on her heart had been broken.

In a moment of surprise, he subconsciously issued a command.

That means being careful of Jiang Man, not letting him get close, and absolutely not being fooled by him into revealing the core information.

Only after issuing this warning did she feel much more at ease and continue to gather her strength.

On the other side, Huo Bingzhi, who was able to receive the message, sat quietly in her cell.

There was nothing that could be done, not even the ability to enter that place by falling asleep.

She was in extreme pain.

Because she heard that Jiang Man, who had been arrested, had been released.

Then why haven't I gone out yet?
She was not convinced.

Why can't she go out?

But she quickly rallied, determined to have the message engraved on the stone tablet to remind them, and then have them find a way to rescue her.

She is everyone's hope.
