The End of the Immortal Path

The other two pondered for a moment.

His Cultivation was a bit low, but a man without hope was indeed the easiest to deceive.

As for his life or death.

They had no intention of acting themselves. Whether he could make it out later would depend on his own performance.

"But we don’t have much time. Who knows how long it will take for him to come out?" the woman said.

"Just knock on his door?" the effeminate man asked.

"No rush. He has to come out once every three months. Since we’re inviting him to pave the way for us, we should be polite," the portly man said.

The effeminate man chuckled. "Should I also give him some Spiritual Source and hope he’ll be the bigger man and forgive my transgressions?"

"What do you think?" the portly man said, looking at him.

The effeminate man spoke nonchalantly, "What’s wrong with apologizing if it gets him to pave the way for us? Besides, I feel like others have their eyes on the thing deep inside. What’s a little face compared to a treasure?"

「Fifteen days later.」

It was late in the third month.

Jiang Man slowly opened his eyes.

The power of his Qi and Blood surged wildly through his body. The ground beneath him sank slightly, leaving the faint outline of his footprints.

His Spirit wasn’t strong enough, causing him to be unable to rein in his power immediately.

This was a common occurrence for Jiang Man.

At this moment, he felt his Physical Body was like All Rivers Flow into the Sea, exuding a majestic momentum.

And this was only at the Middle Stage of Golden Core level.

’If it were Perfection...’

He dared not imagine how strong he would become.

All Rivers Flow into the Sea was weak in its early stages but had an extremely explosive burst of power later on.

With its extremely powerful burst and his unparalleled Talent, there was no doubt that once he reached Golden Core Perfection, he would be number one below the Primordial Spirit realm.

But without the support of a Magic Skill, his Attack was a bit lacking.

It had been like this ever since the great restoration of the Immortal Sects; no matter how large the gap between those of the Same Tier, there was a limit.

Cultivation Skills and Magic Skills were all factors.

After reining in his power, Jiang Man took out an Array Stone and began to inscribe a new Array.

A short while later.

The stone once again broke into five pieces.

Now he just had to find Zhuo Qingcheng and the others to hand the items over.

Then he would continue his Cultivation for another three months.

This time, the Visualization Skill was only a Simple Skill, so his progress wouldn’t be too fast, but ninety days would be enough.

Having made his decision, Jiang Man prepared to leave.

After finding Zhuo Qingcheng and the others, he would come back and write a letter to Miss Ji Meng.

However, she still hadn’t replied. He wondered what was happening with the matter of the Evil God’s Envoy.

—

Lingyue Sect’s main peak was wreathed in Spiritual Qi.

On the main peak, there was a rain pavilion built in a corner.

At this moment, two middle-aged men were sitting in the pavilion.

They were drinking tea and looking down below.

"Speaking of which, the new team of Outer Disciples is about to enter the mountain depths to complete their mission, aren’t they? Has Elder Luo been keeping an eye on them?" the middle-aged man with some white hair asked.

The slightly gaunt Elder Luo refilled the other man’s cup, nodded, and said, "I have been watching them closely. They’ll be undertaking the mission in the next month or two. They probably think this is an opportunity they’ve earned through their own hard work."

"Their next step will be to plot how to obtain the Divine Object inside."

"Everything inside has been prepared. Once they enter, they won’t be able to escape even if they sprout wings."

"The Sect Leader just needs to wait for them to hand over their Cultivation Skills and resources. At that time, we can also have the people we placed in advance continue to give them hope, thereby luring in even more people."

"Like the people from the Wuyun Sect, whom we’ve already successfully lured over."

"Originally, we targeted five people, but for some reason, one of them has locked himself away, staying up all night for his Cultivation."

"It’s truly bizarre. Now I’m starting to wonder if we targeted the wrong person."

"If he were truly one of the Sect’s people, with a Golden Core Cultivation no less, he wouldn’t be this crazed."

"It’s obvious he’s given up on his future."

"That’s why I haven’t been able to confirm his identity."

The Sect Leader with some white hair looked at the gaunt man before him and said with considerable feeling, "Elder Luo, you truly are extraordinary. Your talents were wasted at the Wuyun Sect."

"Before long, I’ll have to give this position of Sect Leader to you, Elder Luo."

"You jest, Sect Leader. If not for your appreciation, I would not be where I am today," Elder Luo said gratefully. "I had hit a ceiling in my old Sect, with basically no chance of forming a Primordial Spirit. Here, aside from being able to contribute my remaining years..."

"...I also have a glimmer of hope for forming a Primordial Spirit."

"It can be considered a good final path for me."

The Sect Leader picked up his teacup and asked curiously, "This group has three people. Why did you set the requirement at four?"

Hearing this, Elder Luo’s eyes narrowed. "If something is obtained too easily, they will overthink it. But if there are difficulties, they will only think about how to overcome those difficulties."

"Coincidences will also make them suspicious, so we can’t let their path be too smooth."

"It’s best if someone makes things difficult for them along the way."

"The more this happens, the more they will feel they have gone through countless hardships to get this chance."

"And their vigilance will drop."

"However, about this Ah Niu... at first, I thought he was from the Wuyun Sect, but now I’m not so sure."

"We can only take it one step at a time."
