The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 269 Listening to the Wind Has Arrived

A bustling city.

Superior Rooms.

Tantai Xue looked at the spirit tablet emitting a faint light and was somewhat surprised: "Another unexpected incident occurred in the Immortal Sect Competition?"

"Yes, the door is open. My suppressed power has found a gap. If I want, I can let some of the suppressed power enter the Immortal Sect Competition and use that place as a springboard to take it back." The spirit tablet's slightly excited voice came.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Tantai Xue asked.

“The same goes for other evil gods,” Lingpai sighed. “This is quite dangerous. The situation is very serious. If I take action now, I will definitely be detected and even tracked down.”

"The immortal sects always need to find one or two typical people to make an example of."

"Moreover, this is a directional area, making it the easiest to observe."

"No one dares to take any action at the moment."

"However, some people should not be worried about these things, but they are slow to act."

"There may be problems within the Immortal Sect Competition as well."

“There’s definitely something wrong. The changes inside have forced the Immortal Sect to make this decision. There must be something extraordinary about it,” Tantai Xue said with great concern. “What could be attracting so much attention?”

"Where was the Immortal Sect Grand Competition held back then?" Lingpai pondered for a long time.

He immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed in shock, "The Boundless Calamity Land, which evil god is so audacious? We must be careful lately. No matter how this matter ends, we will face a fierce attack from the immortal sects."

"Also, we need to find another place quickly, and we can't take any more power."

"It's easy for something to go wrong."

-

Mist Cloud Sect.

Himemu's residence.

Qingdai rushed over immediately, saying anxiously, "Miss, something terrible has happened."

"Yes, I sensed it through my physical body." Ji Meng nodded slightly, looking at the teacup on the table and calmly asked, "Is there a transfer order from the Immortal Sect?"

"Yes." Qingdai nodded and stated the details, "The Immortal Sect has issued an order, hoping that Miss can guard the rift. If any evil god escapes, Miss will be needed to take action."

"The highest order from the Immortal Sect?" Ji Meng raised her eyebrows and looked at Qing Dai.

"Yes, the transfer order has been sent to the Ji family." Qingdai nodded emphatically.

She never imagined the situation would be so critical that the immortal sect would issue a transfer order.

It was still the highest-ranking order: to call in the prostitutes.

“Since it’s a top-level order, it should know I’m out and about.” Ji Meng pondered for a moment and said, “Besides, it’s just some broken evil gods. It’s not like they would use a top-level order to find me. I’m afraid the things inside have a big impact.”

"And they also know I'm not available."

"What they should want is my magic weapon."

"Take my magic weapon with you and cooperate with them."

Qingdai also thought of this, and immediately said, "Should I secretly look for the son-in-law?"

"No need, that would be more dangerous," Ji Meng said, shaking her head.

Qingdai nodded in agreement and left immediately.

The highest directive from the Immortal Sect.

After the great restoration of the immortal sects, such transfer orders were basically never used again.

Its sudden appearance suggests that something earth-shattering has happened during the Immortal Sect Competition.

However, they haven't received any more information yet, which suggests there's still room for maneuver in this matter.

It also takes some time.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be just like that.

Afterwards, Qingdai's true form awoke and casually waved a magical artifact in the courtyard, which then merged into her body.

They then walked out of the ancient courtyard.

Grand Elder Ji Wuye was already waiting outside.

"Is Miss Qingdai going?" he asked immediately.

"Yes, I will go in your place, Miss. Wait for my news." Qingdai said, taking a step and disappearing from the spot.

Ji Wuye sighed.

The situation was somewhat unexpected. The Immortal Sect suddenly issued a transfer order, which was known to only three people in the entire Ji family.

He is Miss Qingdai, the eldest daughter.

No one else has the right to know.

This shows how serious the matter was; the Immortal Sect skipped all procedures and sent the transfer order directly to him.

Jiang Man remained seated within the formation.

He sensed a change in the sky, but when he looked up, the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it were about to rain.

I tried to sense it, but found nothing.

But he knew that the battle between the immortal sects and the evil gods was about to begin.

It's dangerous for him here; he could be easily found.

The situation is not optimistic no matter which side finds them.

All we can do now is listen to the wind whisper.

This time, Jiang Man had the monks, including Vacuum Monk, set up a hidden formation.

They didn't really understand why Jiang Man was like this.

But Shangguan Yang and Zhou Qing have both disappeared.

It's clear they can't go out either.

Jiang Manding knew the reason.

They don't ask questions; they just follow orders.

The next day.

Boom!
Dark clouds loomed overhead, and thunder roared.

"A storm is brewing."

Jiang Man looked at the sky with a sense of emotion.

Day two.

July 1st.

Thunder roared in the sky, and raindrops fell.

At first, it was just one or two drops.

Before long, the rain began to pour down.

The monk looked at the sky and said, "This rain may last a long time."

He paused for a moment, then looked at Jiang Man and said, "We just received a message from Senior Brother Ye, asking us to go back and meet up."

Jiang Man looked at them, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "You go ahead, I need to stay here for now."

The monk with the vacuum and the bell exchanged a glance.

They weren't stupid; they could tell that Jiang Man wasn't in good condition.

They even had difficulty getting up.

They couldn't tell whether he was injured or something else.

But everyone is looking for Shangguan Yang and Zhou Qing.

This will make them feel a sense of crisis.

Since the three of them were traveling with them, they might also encounter trouble.

Of course, there was another direction they didn't even dare to think about.

If it's going in this direction, they'll be in even greater danger.

Finally, the monk Vacuum spoke up, "Let's stay here for now."

The bell had no objections.

Jiang Man then continued to wait.

Three days later.

Thunder roared in the sky, as if someone was making a scene above.

Then the heavy rain suddenly stopped, and beams of light began to appear, entering this space.

Jiang Man could tell at a glance that these things were related to evil gods.

Although I don't understand what's going on, it's highly likely that an evil god has acted.

However, these lights were extremely restrained, remaining high in the sky without any intention of coming down.

I don't know why.

In this way, those below can be considered safe and secure.

Three days later, the sky cracked open once more, and this time a large number of figures appeared, their powerful auras descending upon the heavens.

This group is probably from the immortal sects.

Some of them carved out a path through the battlefield to attack the evil god above, while others began searching for people and objects.

Jiang Man felt that he would be found soon.

"What's going on?" Monk Vacuum and Bell were somewhat taken aback.

They looked at Jiang Man.

Jiang Man calmly said, "The people from the Immortal Sect have arrived. It seems our competition is coming to an end."

Now he just hopes that whoever finds him won't be too reckless, as he has less than a month left.

If we leave the formation, we'll probably have to accelerate again.

The people from the Immortal Sect are extremely fast; we can't hide here for long.

Listening to the Wind's Whisper came too late.

If possible, he still hopes to get in touch with Tingfengyin.

After all, although he has a mental illness, he is indeed strong.

"such a pity."

Jiang Man sighed.

The sound of flowing water suddenly appeared the instant he finished speaking.

Immediately afterwards, an ethereal voice echoed in his mind: "What's the pity?"

Jiang Man was shocked and turned to look around.

Sure enough, the river rapidly approached from afar, and a road was covering the array beneath his feet.

Without hesitation, Jiang Man picked up the irregular stone beside him and strode toward the road.

They used to walk, but now they run to the place where the monument was erected.

Soon Jiang Man saw a new tree, which was covered with small fruits.

At this moment, Tingfengyin was eating a bunch of fruit by the tree.

Seeing Jiang Man, he was somewhat surprised: "Why are you running so fast?"

He just glanced at it a couple more times, and then kept staring at it while eating fruit.

“Senior, I’m here to present a treasure.” Jiang Man handed over the irregular stone without hesitation.

Tingfengyin looked at the stone, ate some fruit, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

“It should be a famous thing,” Jiang Man said seriously. “This kind of thing is suitable for a peerless genius like you who has accomplished great things.”

Ting Fengyin calmly said, "I heard you say that you are also a peerless genius. Did you give this to me because it doesn't suit you?"

Jiang Man felt the resonance and said, "The water is too deep; I can't handle it."

Tingfengyin shook his head, finished eating the fruit, and reached out to grab the irregular stone.

The irregularly shaped stones then transformed into regular squares.

In that instant, Jiang Man felt the erosion in the shadows disappear.

"That's it?" he asked.

"What do you want?" Tingfengyin slightly squeezed, then applied her power to the Boundless Calamity Stone.

The next moment, Jiang Man felt something being pulled out of his body.

Finally, it was incorporated into the Boundless Calamity Stone.

“We’ve managed to control it, but it’s already started to merge, so sealing it now won’t be easy.” Ting Fengyin looked at Jiang Man with great curiosity and asked, “You’ve touched the Immortal Path Coordinates before, so you should know that it’s easy to get caught up in them. Why did you still touch them?”
"If you don't touch it, it'll be easy, or you can let someone else touch it."

Jiang Man fell silent, thinking to himself that he couldn't possibly make every one of them the same as the Immortal Path Coordinates.

But I was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

They were simply asking if this item could be handed over to the Immortal Sect.

“That’s possible, but there’s another option: you can keep it for yourself.” Ting Fengyin tossed the Boundless Calamity Stone to Jiang Man and said, “You touched this thing, and as a peerless genius, it has taken a liking to you. Now it only wants to merge with you.”

"Give it to the Immortal Sect. If the Immortal Sect ever makes a mistake, it will come and merge with you."

"But if it stays in your hands, you can help me reinforce the seal every year. If you ever suffer injustice here..."

"We could simply merge directly and then retaliate."

"What will happen after the fusion?" Jiang Man asked curiously as he took the Boundless Calamity Stone.

“This immeasurable calamity is extraordinary. With your small body, you will naturally perish completely when you fuse with it,” Tingfengyin said after a moment’s thought. “However, when you become a peerless genius with a great body like me, you won’t have to worry.”

"So it can be fused?" Jiang Man asked.

“Then you won’t suffer injustice,” Tingfengyin replied.

Jiang Man fell silent for a moment, unsure of how to begin.

He then asked with considerable curiosity, "If I integrate this thing, will you be able to handle it, senior?"

“We can’t handle it.” Tingfengyin shook her head and said, “It can’t do anything to me in the short term, and I can’t do anything to it in the short term either, but there are advantages.”

"That means I can use this to force all the evil gods out, and then leave none of them alive."

"Let's unite with them and wipe out everyone on the list."

"It should be faster than expected."

"Of course, the side effects this time are greater than when those people ganged up on me before."

“All living beings must die once.”

So you're the only one who didn't die, huh? Jiang Man thought to himself.

“Actually, I might die too. The side effects are a bit severe, but this thing has to die as well. At least I have to avenge you,” Tingfengyin said after a moment’s thought.

"Senior, do you think it's safer to give it to the Immortal Sect or to keep it in my hands?" Jiang Man asked.

“Of course, it’s safer to give it to the Immortal Sect. You’re so young to have become a Nascent Soul cultivator; you’re bound to encounter many more things in the future. Although your cultivation progress isn’t that fast, and you’re not particularly diligent, you’re good at causing trouble. Who can mess with you? At such a young age, you’ve obtained the Immortal Path Coordinates and the Boundless Tribulation Stone. I’ve truly never seen anyone like you. Keeping it in your hands will only lead to trouble sooner or later.” Ting Fengyin looked at Jiang Man, picking fruit, and said, “But I suggest you keep it in your own hands.”

"Why?" Jiang Man asked.

“As a peerless genius, how can you entrust your fate to others?” Ting Fengyin said to Jiang Man. “Besides, if you cause trouble, don’t you still have me? At most, there will only be some side effects.”

Jiang Man fell silent, sensing that Ting Fengyin's emotions were somewhat unstable.

But no matter how you look at it, you can't keep this kind of thing in your own hands.

“Actually, anything used well is good,” Tingfengyin said, sitting to the side. “The Boundless Calamity Stone may not be unusable.”

Jiang Man understood that Ting Fengyin wanted him to keep the Boundless Calamity Stone.

“But the way I obtained it will be guessed by others, and once the Zhenyue Division investigates, it will be exposed,” Jiang Man said.

“Simple. Isn’t Taihua in the Misty Cloud Sect?” Tingfengyin leaned against the tree and looked at Jiang Man. “You hand over the things, and then I’ll have Taihua give them to Zui Fusheng.”

"At most, it will let Taihua know that the item is in Zui Fusheng's hands."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man sighed. It seemed he really had to keep it in his possession.

But he had a question: how to take it away from Taihua?
They will definitely be discovered once they meet.

Listening to the wind, he casually left a rune in the hand of the Boundless Calamity Stone.

Immediately afterwards, a rune was also left in Jiang Man's hand.

After doing all this, he threw the Boundless Calamity Stone in his hand into the water.

“Give it a try.” He looked at Jiang Man.

Jiang Man sensed the runes in his hand, then grabbed them.

The Boundless Calamity Stone, now wet with water, appeared in his hand.

“I’ve hidden this little trick so that Taihua won’t be able to see it. When you receive the message, just take it directly,” Tingfengyin said afterward.

Jiang Man sighed with emotion, realizing that he had truly ruined the business.

"Senior, are you aware of what's going on here?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

"I don't know. Why would you notify me at this point?" Tingfengyin shook his head and said, "Besides, these are just remnants of evil gods. If I had to handle this kind of thing, the immortal sect would have perished long ago."

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Will you make a move later, senior?"

“There are some evil god powers that we can keep an eye on. If we find them, we’ll take action. If we don’t find them, so be it. They’ll always resurface eventually.” Ting Fengyin said nonchalantly. After a pause, he continued, “You don’t need to worry about them. It’s not to the point where your primordial spirit needs to be concerned.”

"Your task now is to kill Meng Qiewei and the Bai family patriarch and send them back."

"Every day they are away, I feel miserable."

"I don't even enjoy my food anymore."
