The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 274 Ji Meng: What's different about me today?

In jail.

Jiang Man responded to the man in black robes, and incidentally connected with the mysterious immortal spirit's subordinate's methods.

Begin to awaken the spirit of Linghua.

In that case, he also needs to start preparing the corresponding formation.

He asked Lao Huang.

"Deal with an evil god?" Old Huang looked at Jiang Man and said, "Are you going to teach me how to deal with me?"

“Old Huang, you’re a demon now, so don’t talk nonsense. It’s okay if you get caught, but if I get caught, my path to becoming a prodigy will be ruined,” Jiang Man said.

As he spoke, he seemed to look down on the destiny of an unparalleled genius.

No response yet.

I wonder what mischief they're up to.

The burly old ox grazed on the grass, remained silent for a moment, and then corrected, "We've already been arrested."

Jiang Man stopped dwelling on these issues and began discussing how to deal with the evil god.

Linghua Xianling is still asleep, making her the easiest evil god to deal with.

In particular, it also has a well-developed formation.

"The formation itself is not the problem, but the problem lies in how to use it and how to lock down the opponent's vital points," the old ox said while eating fodder. "The place where the evil god sleeps can be changed, although Linghua Xianling had a special opportunity and went to a better dreamland."

"But in order to break free from your control, I will definitely choose to break away."

"The first thing you need to do is cut off her escape route."

"Especially since we need to suppress the immortal coordinates for her, we must be absolutely sure of everything going smoothly."

"What is her way out?" Jiang Man asked.

“The formation can cut off one of her escape routes, but she still has at least two more,” the old ox said.

Jiang Man took out his notebook and said, "Senior, please speak."

The old ox stared at Jiang Man for a long time before continuing, "Linghua Xianling is an evil god of the ancient well type, which means she has the ability to control minds. If there are any loopholes in your mind, she will exploit them. Even if there are none, she will try to store a part of it and then escape."

"Of course, she only escaped that place; she still couldn't escape the place where she was buried."

"That's why she's considered one of the least influential evil gods."

Jiang Man nodded and asked, "Then how do we guard against this second route?"

"Just set up the formation given by the Zhenyue Division within your primordial spirit. You can use the furnace your wife gave you to resonate with your primordial spirit. Just activate it before you go in," the old ox said.

Jiang Man wrote it very clearly, then thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult. What about the third one?"

"The third thing is the messenger's mind; she can use this to escape," the old ox said.

“It’s a mystery how many messengers she has,” Jiang Man said.

Although he is now the chief envoy, other envoys also exist.

Although he no longer possesses his current abilities, what Lao Huang is talking about is clearly not about ability.

“So you need to find them all and then block them,” the old ox said.

Jiang Man couldn't help but look at the old ox and said, "Senior must have a way, right?"

The old ox lowered its head and ate its fodder, then said, "Learn the Yuan Shen Visualization Method. Once you achieve a high level, there's a certain probability that you can find them all. The remaining probability requires your observation and intuition; there's no way to teach it."

Jiang Man nodded.

Simply learning the visualization method is not difficult.

Moreover, there is still plenty of time before Linghua Xianling awakens, so there is plenty of time.

Now we can set up the formation first, and then wait for Ji Hao to send over the cultivation technique for explanation.

Let's see which one is the strongest and the most difficult.

Just select this option.

Afterwards, Jiang Man set up an array in the prison cell, enveloping it with his aura.

They then entered the dilapidated temple.

He brought the power of the formation into the formation.

Afterwards, they communicated with the spirit of Linghua.

The next instant, Jiang Man felt that the dilapidated temple had changed location, and the scene outside the temple had also changed.

Linghua Xianling dwelled outside in a way that Jiang Man could not comprehend, with starlight falling around her, gradually awakening her.

Jiang Man stood at the door and set up the array he carried around the opponent.

However, as the formation descended, Jiang Man sensed that the orientation was off and he was unable to lock onto Linghua Immortal Spirit.

This would require major changes.

Fortunately, it wasn't difficult.

Jiang Man then looked around and began to formulate a formation.

However, as he sets up the formation, some starlight will affect its effectiveness.

They were forced to avoid the starlight.

It took a lot of extra time. After the formation was set up, he looked at the starlight and pondered silently for a long time.

Then they left the dilapidated temple.

At this moment, the spirit of Linghua, who was in a state of dormancy, was inspired by external forces, and she felt that she was recovering very quickly.

Perhaps it won't be long before he fully awakens.

However, the broken heart lock still bothered her. In order to wake up smoothly, she sent out a message telling people not to provoke Jiang Man.

Once she wakes up, the other party won't be a problem.

Sensing the power around her, she deeply felt that the designated messenger was incredibly capable, able to provide her with such assistance.

The future is expected.

-

"Old Huang, I have a question." Jiang Man looked at the burly old ox with a thoughtful expression as he returned to his cell.

At this time, the old ox was still eating fodder.

Jiang Man couldn't help but say, "Old Huang, stop eating. What will you do if you get used to it and then leave?"

He's gotten so strong, he's living too well.

The old ox ignored Jiang Man's question and instead asked, "What's the problem?"

“I think there are more than just three paths to the Spirit Flower Immortal Spirit,” Jiang Man said.

The old ox looked at Jiang Man but did not speak.

Jiang Man continued, "That mysterious evil god is willing to spend spiritual resources to find me and ask for my help to awaken the evil god. What does he want?"
"Their reasons are naturally not to be listened to; in the senior's view, they are the coordinates of the immortal path."

"But I feel that I also need to gain something in the process, such as my position as an envoy."

"Direct communication with Linghua Xianling would be the best option for them."

"Furthermore, they are even less likely to watch Linghua Xianling fall into our control."

"So besides those three paths, external forces were also a path she chose."

"In particular, it is difficult to break through the internal structure of the evil god's formation, but it is exceptionally easy to shatter the external structure."

"You're quite clever," the old ox said.

Jiang Man looked at the old ox in front of him, his eyes filled with a strong desire to express himself, as if to say, "Old ox, you need to understand who is standing in front of you. He is the future Great Body, a peerless genius who will dominate the world."

The old ox withdrew its gaze, took a bite of grass, and calmly asked, "So what are you going to do?"

Jiang Man smiled slightly and said, "The other side doesn't know that I am an unparalleled genius, nor do they know that I have an evil god, nor do they know that I have Tingfengyin. Under such circumstances, how can I lose?"

"The fact that the other side can do so many things shows that their subordinates are more than just primordial spirits," the old ox said.

Jiang Man was taken aback.

That's troublesome.

However, the other party did not know the location of the ruined temple, nor could they enter the place where the spirit of Linghua was sleeping.

He still has a chance.

"What are your plans now? Continue sealing them off? If they really wanted to replace you, they wouldn't have let you bind the Spirit Flower Immortal Spirit; they would have a backup plan," the old ox asked.

Jiang Man seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "It's better to guide than to block. Let's block three roads first, and leave the others open for now."

"And then?" the old ox asked.

"Then I plan to go shopping with my wife tomorrow," Jiang Man said with a smile.

The old ox remained silent for a long time, then lowered its head and began to eat grass.

That evening, Jiang Mandu sat in front of the Linghua Immortal Spirit and set up an array.

During this time, he also began reading books about formations.

He obtained the seventy-two books from the Enforcement Hall.

Other items are also arriving gradually.

For example, he was very curious about what kind of spirit pet eggs Taihua Zhenren would give him.

He himself had three, which are currently with Song Qing. He doesn't know if they were sold or incubated.

By dawn, Jiang Man's array setup had not made any significant progress, and he felt it was insufficient, so he needed to continue learning.

In addition, he plans to study the Mountain and Sea Formation. Once he has mastered the formation techniques, he will be able to learn and apply them more effectively.

As dawn broke, Jiang Mancai finished his studies and assignments and left the Enforcement Hall prison.

The guard looked at Jiang Man, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Seeing this, Jiang Man quickly left.

If they don't let me live here anymore, how difficult will life be for me?

The food back home isn't as good as here, and it's not as quiet either.

Afterwards, he flew on his sword to the second courtyard of Yunxia Peak.

I wonder how my fellow practitioners here are doing. I imagine they're working tirelessly to compete for first place.

Being young means being energetic.

Upon entering the courtyard, Jiang Man did not find any sign of their vitality.

Instead, the atmosphere was lifeless, and many people had dark circles under their eyes.

This surprised Jiang Man.

They used to have dark circles under their eyes, but not as noticeable; having more resources can help alleviate them.

And why are their clothes so ordinary?
Jiang Mandu wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

After checking, I found there was no mistake.

"What are you looking at?" a voice rang out from behind.

It was Yan Yiqiu.

Jiang Man asked curiously, "What's wrong with them?"

“Some were kicked out of their families, some started their own families, and some were abandoned by investors, so naturally they became poor.” Yan Yiqiu looked at Jiang Man and said with emotion, “Thanks to you, they have enough strength, otherwise their future path would be cut off.”

"I'm enjoying a life of luxury," Jiang Man remarked.

Yan Yiqiu looked at Jiang Man curiously and asked, "Why did you suddenly come here?"

"Come and listen to the teacher's lecture," Jiang Man said.

You can't exactly say you're coming to collect spiritual resources, can you?

The situation is a bit complicated now; we can't collect the spiritual source anymore.

Everyone was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Man appear.

"Wasn't the Immortal Sect Competition supposed to last one or two years? It hasn't even been a year yet." Zhuo Bufan asked in surprise, his eyes gleaming with dark circles.

"We're not going to be eliminated early, are we?" An Rong asked.

"Even if you were me, you couldn't say you have a spiritual source, could you?" Cao Cheng said disdainfully.

Listening to their conversation, Jiang Man still took out her notebook.

Indeed, being a bad person has nothing to do with being poor.

Then their names were added.

"You're poor, wicked, and have harmed me. You should cut off what needs to be cut off and get your brain repaired," Cao Cheng said angrily.

"Once I get married and make a fortune, don't beg me for extra interest," An Rong said disdainfully.

"Who would dare to marry you now?" Cao Cheng sneered.

An Rong puffed out her chest confidently and said, "If you don't get married, you'll see me as a frog in a well looking at the moon; if you do get married, you'll see me as a mayfly gazing at the blue sky."

What were they talking about? Jiang Man felt that these people didn't take his notebook seriously.

Is he unaware that he has already reached the level of a powerful being at the Primordial Spirit stage?
Jiang Man sat back down and looked at the people around him, realizing that they were all poor.

why?
"Because we need a small courtyard." Lin Qingshan explained, "Didn't we apply for an inner courtyard before? All eight of our courtyards were registered, and we couldn't back out, so they were all abandoned by the family and investors."

"Otherwise, they will be implicated."

"That's how it turned out."

"Others who want to join will probably be treated the same as us."

Jiang Man knew about this small courtyard, and it was still ongoing.

"Fortunately, we stayed up all night to cultivate, and our strength has almost reached its peak, so it won't affect the subsequent assessments." Zhao Yaoyao said regretfully, "We missed out on two years of resources, and we'll still have to make a living after entering the inner sect."

"The peak master is in seclusion, so the impact isn't that big," Jiang Man said.

Everyone was surprised; why had the Peak Master suddenly gone into seclusion?
However, these people don't understand this either.

How could outer disciples possibly understand these things?

"So why did you come out so early?" Yan Yiqiu asked.

Her decades-long coaching career was not as exciting as these few years, but fortunately she was soon free.

There's no need to waste time dealing with these people anymore.

"Come out and hand in an important mission," Jiang Man said truthfully.

The Boundless Stone is indeed an important task.

However, we will retrieve the Boundless Calamity Stone in a day or two and establish contact with True Man Taihua.

Then find the patriarch of the Bai family.

But it can't be too early; you need to at least advance to the peak of the Primordial Spirit realm, otherwise there's little chance.

"Can we start the lesson now?" Wei Beichuan asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Man.

Yan Yiqiu also sat down to one side.

Jiang Man sighed. He had come here to ask for spiritual resources, but he ended up doing hard labor.

After that, he viewed Foundation Establishment from his own perspective.

This will be used as an explanation.

He then went on to discuss the method of advancement and how to better comprehend the third method.

Even Yan Yiqiu was completely absorbed in listening.

Finally, she asked, "What is your current cultivation level?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man smiled mysteriously and said, "Mr. Yan will know in the future."

At this moment, Jiang Man understood more and more that some things are more interesting if left unsaid.

After that, he left the Second Academy and flew on his sword to Ji Meng's residence.

I just knocked on the door.

Then came the sound of silver bells, as if someone were running over.

As the sound reached the door, the door opened.

A creak.

What comes into view is a smiling girl with delicate features and slightly narrowed eyes that seem to radiate light.

“Miss Ji Meng is acting differently today,” Jiang Man said.

Ji Meng touched her earrings and asked curiously, "Besides the earrings, hair accessories, hairstyle, hairpins, and fairy dress, what else is different?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mandu was stunned: "Then it will only look even better."

Ji Meng looked at Jiang Man, smiled, and shook her head, saying, "Ordinary."

Jiang Man didn't mind, and instead asked, "Miss Ji Meng, would you like something to eat?"

Ji Meng nodded: "It's fine if I don't drink tea."

"Is the tea really that bad?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

"It tastes awful. Sometimes Xiaoqing will deliberately brew tea for me to drink," Ji Meng said helplessly.

The two walked along a treacherous mountain path, and Jiang Man said, "I will take Miss Ji Meng there on my sword."

"Flying on a sword?" Ji Meng asked curiously, "Aren't you in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm? You can walk on air."

Jiang Man took out his spirit sword and shook his head, saying, "I don't know how yet."

"No?" Ji Meng asked in surprise, "Why?"

“Because the promotion was too fast,” Jiang Man said.

Ji Meng landed on Jiang Man's flying sword and said with a smile, "Isn't it because we're poor?"

"Then next time I buy something from Miss Ji Meng, can I get a bigger discount?" Jiang Man rode up on his sword.

Ji Meng refused: "No, that would make me a great traitor."

-

On the other side, in the main hall of Zhenyue Division.

Master Taihua continued to watch the box, but no one came to take it away.

He even opened it to check what was inside, and it was all intact.

He was quite curious about when the other party would pick up the items, and he also wanted to know who would come to collect them.
