The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 278 Receives a Bunch of Complaint Letters
Overseas islands.

Chen Shi, dressed in a black robe, met with other people in black robes outside the archipelago.

A round-faced man was among them.

Everyone watched Chen Shi in silence, waiting patiently.

Facing everyone, Chen Shi calmly said, "The immortal spirit is awakening, which is a good thing and what the envoy has been hoping for."

Everyone remained silent.

Chen Shi continued, "The envoy's light still shines; he has never thought of it being extinguished, nor has he ever understood failure."

"He has always been there, and he has always been at the forefront."

"The attitude is clear."

Everyone listened quietly.

Looking at the group of men in black robes, Chen Shi's voice softened, filled with emotion, as if recalling the past: "I think everyone should understand that we are all abandoned people, all part of the eliminated group."

"No one paves the way for us, no one answers our questions, and no one teaches us the Dharma."

"They even felt that we had little value to them, and even if they wanted to use us, they would still try to control and suppress us."

"Everything has changed now."

"But now is the time for us to pay the price. If you are afraid, you can still turn back now."

Everyone remained silent.

Then Chen Shi continued, "The envoy agreed to awaken the immortal spirit. He had a purpose, and he was also confident."

"The subsequent awakening of the immortals will inevitably lead to conflict with the messengers, and we will also be summoned there."

"What we need to do is very simple: respond immediately and arrive on the scene immediately."

"Squeeze out those who have ulterior motives."

Addressing everyone, Chen Shi said with a slightly excited voice, "The time has come to demonstrate our value. Furthermore, it's time for certain individuals to undergo the envoy's test."

As Chen Shi finished speaking.

Without further hesitation, the group began contacting their own people.

It's time to pave the way for the envoy.

-

Early October.

The Enforcement Hall of the Wuyun Sect.

Ren Qian was somewhat surprised: "It's rare to receive a whistleblower letter today."

"It's signed by Junior Brother Jiang," the woman who was examining the complaint letter said.

Ren Qian nodded, and couldn't help but sigh, "Junior Brother Jiang is indeed a talent. He found someone who colluded with the evil god so quickly. Although catching him won't do much good, we can't rule out the possibility that he is colluding with other subordinates of the evil god."

After a pause, Ren Qian said, "Go and capture the person, then settle the spiritual source with Junior Brother Jiang depending on the situation."

The woman nodded.

Just as I was about to set off, I discovered another letter of complaint.

Upon opening it, I was somewhat surprised: "The handwriting is completely different, the signature is still Junior Brother Jiang, and the person who reported it is still someone from Linghua Xianling."

"The information they provided was very detailed; it's clear they understood it thoroughly."

Ren Qian nodded and said with a smile, "That's good. Two people is enough. Be careful when you arrest them, and don't let the news leak out."

The woman had just reached the door when she received her third complaint letter.

Before I could even finish reading this one, the fourth complaint letter arrived.

The four consecutive letters surprised Ren Qiandu.

However, it's not over yet.

Throughout the day, they received eighteen letters of complaint.

As Ren Qian looked at the letter of complaint, his initial composure gradually turned into confusion, bewilderment, and astonishment.

This is the first time in the history of the Enforcement Hall that it has received so many complaint letters in one day.

Moreover, the handwriting was all different, but the signatures were all the same.

He looked at everyone and said, "Do you understand what's going on? Why is everyone in the division named Jiang Man?"

"Not only that, but it seems that those who reported it were all subordinates of Linghua Xianling," the woman on the other side added.

Another young man couldn't help but wonder, "Has Junior Brother Jiang decided to close the net?"

Ren Qian felt it didn't seem likely.

Something must have happened.

Such a large-scale whistleblowing is bound to cause problems.

Is someone deliberately targeting Jiang Man and trying to remove him from his position as envoy?
Or did Jiang Man himself no longer want to be the spokesperson for the evil god?

There are many guesses, but nothing can be confirmed.

The only thing we need to do is bring some people back first.

Let's see what's going on.

While we're at it, let's find someone to go find Jiang Man.

Unfortunately, Jiang Man went into seclusion.

Three days later.

Some people were arrested, but they didn't understand why they were suddenly arrested.

I never imagined I would be exposed.

That afternoon, news came from the sixth secret realm of the ancient wells.

It is said that Linghua Xianling has shown signs of awakening.

Not only that, there are also forces targeting Linghua Xianling.

This news, coupled with a large number of whistleblower letters, all point to something going wrong within Linghua Xianling.

They then interrogated a few more people.

I received a vague message.

"A traitor wants to usurp the throne?" Ren Qian found it hard to believe.

“Yes, they say it must be another group of people who support the envoy who want to usurp the throne and murder the immortals,” the interrogating woman said.

Ren Qian sighed with emotion: "Junior Brother Jiang is really capable. Although I don't know what he's up to, I still need to find out from him according to the rules afterward."

"He is currently in seclusion, most likely for this very reason."

"Keep an eye on his side and the sixth secret realm of the ancient well."

"If necessary, we will intervene and destroy Linghua Immortal Spirit."

The immortal spirits that have already died are still being controlled in one location.

Each sect has its own countermeasures.

These spirits cannot be completely killed and will occasionally become active again.

But the impact is not significant.

They are currently mainly targeting evil gods who are alive but whose whereabouts are unknown.

The Sun and Moon Immortal Path, in particular, has been extremely active recently.

But the mastermind behind it all remains unidentified.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Jiang Man has been setting up formations all this time, not only formations to seal off Linghua Immortal Spirit, but also formations to seal off his own primordial spirit.

With the help of the formation furnace, the primordial spirit formation is not only effective but also efficient.

In addition, there is the search for traces of the messenger.

Three were found on the first day.

After three days of observation, another person was found.

There are roughly these four people.

No matter what methods he used afterward, he made no further discoveries.

To be on the safe side, he even consulted the old ox.

The result was the same.

That must be the case.

If even the hidden messenger of that evil god could evade these things, then Jiang Man had nothing to say.

He was too weak and didn't try hard enough.

Besides these, during the time Jiang Man observed, he also felt that the traces of those formations were not right.

It was not created by one person.

It's just impossible to determine whether it came from two evil gods or from one evil god and two subordinates.

But it doesn't matter; it's the same for several parties or even just a few people.

They are all enemies.

Just defeat them all.

Jiang Man sat at the entrance of the dilapidated temple, watching Linghua Zhenling receive power outside, and at the same time, he saw special runes entering.

Some of them were obvious connecting runes, but these were all intercepted by Jiang Man's formation.

There were also some hidden in the shadows, which Jiang Man did not touch.

Although he had read all 72 books, he was not yet completely ahead of the others.

The more you try to stop someone, the more likely you are to unleash their potential.

It will be troublesome if you encounter something you don't know how to do.

It's better to let the other person experience your "limit" and then watch them enter.

This way, they can be brought into one's own territory, giving the other party a shock.

After observing for a while, Jiang Man left the dilapidated temple. He then told the old ox what was inside.

"You need to be careful," the old ox warned. "You haven't been cultivating properly lately, and nine hundred days will pass in the blink of an eye."

"I thought I was being told to be careful of the evil god's subordinates," Jiang Man said.

“They should also be careful. According to you, there should be two evil gods plotting against Linghua Immortal Spirit,” the old ox said.

Jiang Man sighed, "Is Linghua Xianling really that weak? How come even an evil god can come and bully her?"

"Can someone with a strong foundation become an envoy, even if they are not weak?" the old ox asked.

Jiang Man nodded, "Linghua has no capable subordinates."

“Now you have three enemies: the awakened Linghua Immortal Spirit, and two unknown evil gods,” the old ox said to Jiang Man. “You may not be able to succeed.”

Jiang Man also understood that the difference in cultivation level seemed to be quite significant.

Moreover, since the opponent came prepared, there is always a possibility of defeat no matter how you respond.

Thinking this, Jiang Man looked at the old ox: "They all have a time when they should awaken, so is there any way to suddenly awaken the Linghua Immortal Spirit?"

"Yes," the old ox nodded.

"Is there any way to suppress the cultivation level in that area?"

"Also."

Jiang Man nodded, then went to the old ox's side, took out paper and pen and said, "Senior, teach me."

The old ox looked at Jiang Man and calmly said, "Submit a report to the Zhenyue Division and apply."

Jiang Man paused for a moment, then put away his pen and paper and said, "Old Huang, you can tell me earlier next time."

Jiang Man is a formal member of the Zhenyue Division. He is currently going to subdue the Linghua Immortal Spirit, so requesting support is possible.

Whether it will be approved is hard to say.

Three days later.

The Zhenyue Division agreed.

There is only one condition: a detailed report must be prepared afterward.

Late October.

Jiang Man breathed a heavy sigh of relief after finishing his training in the evil god's technique.

Then he said to Lao Huang, "I feel that Linghua Xianling will awaken in another half month."

Old Huang nodded: "They should be able to sense it too."

Jiang Man was surrounded by the magic of the evil god, and then said, "I'm going in, half a month ahead of schedule for them. Old Huang, wait for my good news."

The old ox warned, "Whether you win or not, the evil god behind them might be watching you."

Jiang Man nodded: "It's alright. Let them see when I'm weak first, so they can understand how dazzling the light of a peerless genius can be in the future."

The old ox silently watched Jiang Man.

It never argues anymore.

Its past experience has taught it that although these words may sound exaggerated, the other party will genuinely do their best to fulfill them.

However, it still felt that it was difficult to shine light on the evil god.

Jiang Man had already arrived at the dilapidated temple, but he had no idea what the various forces were doing.

But one thing is certain: they won't be idle.

But he couldn't stop; he always had to do things that surprised them.

Jiang Man felt surrounded by mist, and his position changed again.

The location where the spirit of Linghua was sleeping was revealed at the entrance of the dilapidated temple.

At this time, although Linghua Xianling was still a mysterious symbol, it was already beginning to transform into something human.

It doesn't look very big.

She looked to be around ten years old.

Judging from the emotions emanating from the other person, Jiang Man could tell that the other person was very happy.

I am filled with joy at waking up.

Seeing this, Jiang Man crushed a cube, and a massive amount of power instantly surged into Linghua Xianling's body.

Help her quickly regain consciousness and awaken.

The moment the power enveloped Linghua Xianling, Jiang Man sensed that the other party was extremely pleased.

So excited it seemed it wanted to roar to the heavens and announce that it had come back to life.

"Hahaha."

First, the messenger's special perception transmitted a voice.

Immediately afterwards, a sound came from the dilapidated temple.

"Hahaha.."

Finally, a loud laugh came from outside the door.

"Hahaha, so what if the immortal sects have powerful methods?"

At this moment, the little girl's figure completely solidified, dressed in ordinary clothes, but with an astonishing aura.

"No matter how powerful the methods, they can only prolong my slumber. I certainly made the right choice in choosing an envoy, enabling me to awaken so quickly and so pleasantly, hahaha."

At this moment, the other party slowly opened his eyes: "My messenger, I will remember your deeds. In the future, you will inscribe my name and preserve it."

As she spoke of this, she opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Man at the door.

The figure was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar, leaving Linghua Xianling somewhat taken aback: "Who are you?"

"Your messenger," Jiang Man smiled, "it seems that Lord Immortal Spirit has indeed awakened."

"Have I seen you before?" Linghua Xianling had just woken up and was not yet fully awake.

But when I looked at Jiang Man, I felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Furthermore, as an envoy, why does he not possess her aura?

No breath means no lock.

Upon realizing there was no lock, Linghua Xianling suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in shock, "Jiang Man of the Misty Cloud Sect?"

Jiang Man smiled and nodded: "You remembered me, Immortal Spirit?"

Linghua Xianling frowned: "Why are you here? Where is my messenger?"

Jiang Man took out the token and said, "I am the envoy, and I am the one who awakened the Immortal Spirit."

Linghua Xianling said coldly, "Although I don't know how you did it, I do have to thank you for waking me up. Now you can leave. Without my approval, you can't stay here anymore."

"This is my territory, and you are just an outsider."

As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hand.

The rolling mist was about to envelop Jiang Man and send him out of here.

However, before the fog could cover Jiangman, they all retreated and eventually disappeared.

Linghua Xianling was taken aback and tried a few more times.

There is no use.

Jiang Man stood still and said, "Immortal Spirit's methods seem a bit weak. Why don't you put in more effort?"

"What kind of sorcery did you use?" Linghua Xianling stopped talking nonsense and instead condensed her power into an avatar, quickly arriving in front of Jiang Man. "You are only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Even though I have just awakened and my power is weak, it is more than enough to deal with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, three clones surrounded Jiang Man and suppressed him with magic.

Even more so, it shook him to his core, and he tried to lock Jiang Man's mind in place.

However, as he drew nearer, Jiang Man's gaze shifted slightly.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The three clones of power exploded instantly.

Linghua Xianling was completely stunned.

"Primordial Spirit?" She looked at Jiang Man in disbelief. "Aren't you in the early Foundation Establishment stage?"

"Did the Immortal Lord sleep for a whole day?" Jiang Man asked.

Linghua Xianling then realized, "I've been asleep for fifty years?"

"No, not really, maybe seven or eight years," Jiang Man replied.

"Seven or eight years?" Linghua Xianling frowned as she looked at Jiang Man and said, "Are you trying to make me think that you've made rapid progress and are a worthwhile envoy to cultivate?"
"Your cultivation is indeed fast, but so what?"

"I still look down on you. You're dreaming if you want to be my messenger."

"Little did I know that I have many followers, and it would be easy for me to destroy even one of your primordial spirits."

"And you can't kill me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual energy of Linghua spread out, and the invisible summons pierced through the mist, reaching all his subordinates.

at the same time.

Chen Shi and his group, who had been outside the island, suddenly opened their eyes.

"The time has come!"
