The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 287 It turns out I am the number one in the world
Jiang Man was somewhat surprised by the old ox's answer.

Wasn't Zhao Tiankuo supposed to be gathering information about him?
Why did they suddenly refuse to accept it?
What information did Lao Huang give the other party that made them refuse to accept it?

However, Jiang Man didn't think much of it.

It's that the other party missed the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

I failed to grasp the progress of the peerless genius.

That's the other party's loss.

However, July is almost here, the Listening to the Wind is coming soon, and the final outer sect competition is about to begin.

We'll be entering the inner gate soon.

Although he wasn't paying attention, he always felt that things weren't peaceful inside the sect.

Previously, she was only targeted by the peak master, but now she is the Daoist partner of the Ji family patriarch.

Even those who came just to watch the spectacle attracted quite a few people.

However, none of that is urgent. The most important thing is to earn spiritual resources as soon as possible and improve my cultivation to escape the fate of being an unparalleled genius.

Otherwise everything is empty talk.

Now, his previously unused supernatural abilities are slowly absorbing the spirit within his primordial spirit, thereby accumulating power.

It's truly a case of one gaining at the expense of the other.

This will slow down his progress.

Fortunately, practicing the visualization method a few times is enough to replenish the energy consumed.

Otherwise, it will really be a headache.

The pancake shop has recently reopened, but the income from Lingyuan is very low. Fortunately, he still had 70,000 Lingyuan in his account before he was arrested, and the law enforcement hall did not confiscate it.

Of these, 60,000 were successfully delivered to Jiang Man.

However, the shaobing shop's business also plummeted because the contact person was arrested, and the new contact person dared not act recklessly.

They really didn't expect it to turn out like this; they thought everything was fine, and then suddenly it all happened.

Counting the 60,000 spirit resources, Jiang Man sighed, "It's not quite enough."

I'll have to borrow again.

At this moment, the tengu placed the food on its head in front of Jiang Man, and looked at Jiang Man with its hazy eyes and said, "Master, when can we go out?"

It ate the jerky with disgust and said, "This stuff tastes awful. Senior Meng said that the real world is not like this. It is a vast world with seas and skies, mountains and rivers, and bright stars."

"They say there is freedom, delicious food, a bustling world, and a wonderful life outside."

When will we go out and live a good life?

"Isn't life here good?" Jiang Man asked.

The Tengu has now been enlightened and, although not as intelligent as Lao Huang, it is now like a normal person.

He just doesn't seem very smart.

"I'm tired of the same old food here every day. The environment here is so predictable, I can't see the sky, the mountains, or the rivers. I want to see a wider world," Tengu replied earnestly.

Jiang Man nodded: "It's good to have ambition, but it'll be soon."

"We'll be leaving in a few months."

Upon hearing this, the tengu exclaimed with delight, "Are we about to see the vast world and eat the most delicious food in the world?"

Jiang Man smiled without saying a word.

Old Huang lowered his head and ate grass.

The tengu remained excited, looking forward to the future and dreaming of the outside world, a beautiful place.

Jiang Man then entered the dilapidated temple.

Linghua Xianling, who was hiding in the statue, was startled, but breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was Jiang Man.

Since she obtained the Immortal Path Coordinates, she has not had a single peaceful night's sleep.

"Don't worry," Jiang Man reassured him.

Because he had already submitted the information about the immortal coordinates to the Zhenyue Division, using the name Ji Hao.

It can be said that no matter how the news spreads, the blame ultimately points to Ji Hao.

No one would doubt that the item was with Linghua Xianling.

In particular, he can control the other party's information.

In addition, Zhenyue Division should also send a sum of spiritual resources, and the time is about right.

"Even if you're not worried, I'll be the one who dies." Linghua Xianling felt that the days had never been so long.

She couldn't feel at ease as long as this thing was in her hands.

The fear is that once other celestial beings notice, they will instantly lock onto her.

She may perish completely after that.

There is no possibility of him waking up again.

Equivalent to the Immortal Path coordinates, which could bring her permanent annihilation, how can we make her unafraid?

"Don't be so smug. Once the Great Evil God finds out, you, a mere primordial spirit, will also die." Linghua Xianling mocked, "At that time, you will be even more pathetic than me. Don't be fooled by your rapid advancement now; you will find out later how difficult it is to make progress."

Jiang Man smiled and said, "Many people talk to me like this, but every single one of them lives in my shadow."

Linghua Xianling said indifferently, "You are only at the Nascent Soul stage, so of course you can be so confident. When you return to the Void stage and become an immortal, you will understand how naive you are to say these words now."

Jiang Man did not refute, but instead asked, "Where is the man in black robes?"

Then Chen Shi was summoned by the fairy spirit Linghua.

Chen Shi stood there, looking at the envoy and the fairy spirit, feeling a lot of pressure.

Especially recently, it has been reported again.

They were also very worried.

He even suspected that the envoy might be lacking spiritual energy, which is why he reported the pancake shop.

"Has that mysterious evil god's subordinate urged them?" Jiang Man asked.

"Not yet." Chen Shi hesitated for a moment, then said, "It seems that the other party has been worn down by the envoy."

The other party was very angry before, but now they are silent.

It seems they also know there's nothing they can do about their situation.

"How much spiritual energy did she spend to buy the location of the immortal coordinates?" Jiang Man asked.

“One million, but we’ve only given the envoy a little over one hundred thousand so far.” Chen Shi was also quite troubled.

There's no way to deliver it directly; we have to rely on the pancake shop.

But now you can't just buy sesame seed cakes from shops.

Extremely troublesome.

Could it be that you're urging the Master to open another branch?

“She’s so sincere, we can’t be stingy. Go and tell her a name,” Jiang Man said, looking at the man in black robes.

Just as Jiang Man was about to continue, Chen Shi immediately said, "Your Excellency, could you use the power of the Immortal Spirit to condense a force and give it to the other party?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man looked at the statue.

Linghua Xianling said, "I can do it."

“Okay then.” Jiang Man nodded.

Finally, Chen Shi left with a surge of celestial power.

Jiang Man was quite moved.

Now it's up to them to find a way to gather these spiritual resources at the pancake shop.

I don't know how long it will take.

One million was a number Jiang Man dared not even dream of.

But since he couldn't get it directly, he didn't feel much about it.

We can only wait patiently.

“The item isn’t in that person’s hands. Even if you lure him away now, it won’t do any good. We’ll be discovered soon, and if the evil god attacks, we’re finished,” Linghua Xianling said to Jiang Man after Chen Shi left.

In response, Jiang Man simply smiled mysteriously and said, "Immortal Spirit, you should continue to suppress the Immortal Path Coordinates. Times have changed."

Jiang Man then disappeared from the spot.

Linghua Xianling was puzzled. No matter how the times changed, it was still the weak being suppressed by the strong.

Once the other party discovers the problem, they, as the weaker party, will hardly have a good ending.

This has always been true, regardless of the era.

-

After leaving, Jiang Man first went to Ji Meng to buy the Yinxu Spring Essence Pill, then went to Ji Hao to receive six thousand spirit resources, and finally began to cultivate.

During this period, the spiritual energy from Zhenyue Division arrived, totaling 120,000.

Timely rain.

Jiang Man purchased the Yinxu Chunyuan Pill once again.

Now, the cultivation level of the first gourd will be around 80%. August 1st.

Jiang Man absorbed the vast majority of the pills, and the gourd was filled to 70%.

The remaining days are somewhat tight, but Lingyuan's lack of cultivation means he is destined to be unable to advance to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm before September.

In addition, there was something else that Jiang Man was concerned about: it was already August, so why hadn't Tingfengyin arrived yet?
Is the Magpie Bridge opening so late this year?
Jiang Man asked the old ox.

However, the old ox refused to speak, keeping its head down and grazing, as if it were isolated from the outside world.

Seeing this, Jiang Man knew that Ting Fengyin was coming soon.

three days later.

While Jiang Man was still cultivating, he suddenly noticed the sound of a river.

The ground was then covered with grass and trees.

A road appeared before him.

Completely cover the prison cell.

The Magpie Bridge has opened.

Jiang Man let out a sigh of relief.

Walk inside.

This time, there was nothing wrong with finding Tingfengyin; rather, I was worried about whether she had heard the rumors.

For example, he was Meng Qiewei's Daoist partner.

I wonder what would happen if I knew.

However, the other party is extremely busy and may be oblivious to what is happening outside.

Soon, Jiang Man saw Tingfengyin fishing by the river.

There was a basket next to him, and when he got closer to Jiang Man, he discovered that there were actually two fish in the basket.

Two carp that look quite extraordinary.

"Senior, where did this fish come from?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

"Fishing it," Tingfengyin then said.

"Aren't you going to grill it?" Jiang Man asked.

Upon hearing this, the two fish trembled with fear.

Tingfengyin turned to look at Jiang Man and said with emotion, "You're quite cruel. Didn't you see their human-like eyes? How could you eat them?"

"Then what do you want to do with them, senior?" Jiang Man asked curiously from the side.

“They’re for making wishes,” Tingfengyin said casually. “These are two wishing fish, but they have to be willing to make wishes.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man clasped his hands together and said, "Let me become an unparalleled genius with a perfected physique who can traverse the heavens and the earth."

The two fish fell silent.

Jiang Man continued to make a wish: "Let me become the person with the most spiritual resources in the world."

The two fish fell silent once again.

"It doesn't work," Jiang Man said.

Tingfengyin looked at the two fish and said, "I need a fruit tree that has never been eaten."

Upon hearing this, the two fish began to spin, and a final fruit tree appeared out of thin air on the shore, laden with fruit.

Seeing this, Tingfengyin picked a fruit, ate it, and looked at Jiang Man, saying, "Amazing."

Jiang Man was silent for a moment before saying, "I need 100,000 spirit resources."

The two fish remained silent.

Jiang Man realized that he first needed to become a peerless genius with the Great Completion Body, capable of traversing heaven and earth.

Otherwise, your wishes won't come true.

"Is there anything you'd like to share this time?" Tingfengyin asked, picking a fruit for Jiang Man.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "I recently made contact with True Person Taihua, but he hasn't given me any information about the Bai family's ancestor yet, so the mission has stalled."

"Don't rush. You're only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Even if you find it, it won't be of any use. You're no match for it." Ting Fengyin shook her head and sighed. "Although your spiritual growth is rapid, it's still not fast enough overall. You need to find out why."

"You should be able to do it faster."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man felt he should defend himself: "In the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, I have seen many prodigies and found that I am far superior to all my peers. I am the only one under the age of thirty to participate in the competition."

Tingfengyin looked at Jiang Man and said with a smile, "Now that you mention it, I'm reminded of my past. Back then, I also thought I was number one among my peers, and even far ahead of them."

"Later, my master told me to go out and see the world."

He told me that there are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding.

"It wasn't until I went out to travel that I realized I was indeed wrong."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man was somewhat surprised: "Senior encountered a formidable enemy?"

Ting Fengyin shook his head and said, "I have traveled all over mountains and rivers and met many powerful people. I have finally discovered that I am not the number one among my peers, but the number one in the world."

After speaking, Jiang Man fell silent and did not bring up the topic again.

He then inquired about the evil god he had encountered in the dream's mist.

“The Sun and Moon Shining Together is an evil god with two souls in one body, called the Sun and Moon Immortal Spirits. They are quite interesting. If only one of them dies, the one who died can be resurrected in the other’s body.” Ting Fengyin said with a smile, “For example, when they encounter a powerful enemy, one of them will escape and the other will cover their retreat.”

"Once those who stayed behind die, those who escape will be safe, and those who stayed behind can be brought back to life."

"They have an exceptional ability to escape and an astonishing survival ability."

"If it weren't for the immortal coordinates, it would be really hard to find them."

"Are they very strong?" Jiang Man asked.

Tingfengyin pondered for a moment and said, "It's alright, but in terms of combat strength, it's still not as good as those people on the list. Those people on the list are all quite skilled."

"When you find them and kill them, you'll understand that killing them is not easy either."

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior, do you think Meng Qiewei is harder to kill, or is the Bai family patriarch harder to kill?"

"Neither of them are easy to kill," Tingfengyin reminded him. "But you'd better kill them both at once, otherwise your motives will be guessed, which is very dangerous."

"Furthermore, if Master Taihua provides accurate information and it becomes known to others, then he will also be in danger."

"It will give the other party a handle to use against them."

"After all, they came from legitimate channels, and Taihua, with its high position and power, should not be involved."

“Once their involvement is confirmed, Taihua will not be able to withstand their wrath.”

"Even if the Immortal Sect can protect Taihua, the situation will become very ugly, and they may even have to give them a chance to leave."

"That would be bad."

"So you should remind Taihua to leave as soon as possible."

Jiang Man then realized that this matter was actually quite serious.

Immediately, he asked curiously, "Isn't the senior afraid?"

"What am I afraid of?" Ting Fengyin said nonchalantly. "If I say it wasn't me, do you think they'll dare to investigate?"

"What if they investigate?" Jiang Man asked.

"If we don't find out about this, then it's over. If we do find out, I'll send them on their way. It'll just be tough on you guys, though. There are definitely some side effects," Ting Fengyin said nonchalantly.

Jiang Man fell silent.

It turned out that he himself was the one who died.

This matter is more dangerous than expected and requires even more careful handling.

-

the other side.

The main hall of Zhenyue Division.

As Master Taihua investigated the Bai family patriarch's whereabouts, he grew increasingly uneasy.

I have a feeling that disaster is about to strike.

This forced him to recall his spies.

"what happened?"

"Just investigating related information makes me so uneasy?"

"Is it easier for the investigation to be discovered, or will Zui Fusheng's visit cause trouble?"

As a cultivator like him, the unease in his heart was by no means an illusion.

He felt he needed to be more careful.

If we are careful enough, we should be able to avoid a crisis.

Even if Zui Fusheng's visit was unreasonable, it wouldn't necessarily lead to his death.
