The End of the Immortal Path

Zui Fusheng’s identity did indeed have many benefits for Jiang Man.

Old Huang’s presence, in particular, allowed him to better handle the Sect’s affairs.

But the most useful aspect of the Zui Fusheng identity was that others couldn’t see through him; they didn’t know his true depths.

And to avoid exposure, he had to remain hidden in the shadows.

He was powerless to do anything out in the open.

Any action would easily reveal clues about him.

Weakness is impossible to conceal. The moment he made a move, he would expose himself.

If that happened, any suggestions he made at meetings could be rejected.

At the very least, they wouldn’t be taken as seriously as they were now.

Therefore, learning some special techniques was necessary.

Ting Fengyin looked at Jiang Man and nodded slightly. "There’s some truth to what you say. So, what do you want to learn?"

Jiang Man answered without hesitation, "The harder, the better."

Eating a piece of fruit, Ting Fengyin said with a smile, "You’re quite confident. The harder the technique, the more time it will take to master. While your Talent is decent, the more time you spend, the slower your Cultivation will progress. You haven’t even broken through to the Late Stage of Golden Core in a year. That’s already slow enough. If you delay it further, you’ll fall even farther behind."

In all his time cultivating, Ting Fengyin was the only one who constantly said his Cultivation was slow.

He had repeated the fact that Jiang Man hadn’t reached the Late Stage in a year countless times.

’If my Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart wasn’t holding me back, I would’ve reached the Late Stage long ago.’

Jiang Man took a deep breath. "My Talent has no limits. I’m still young; I’ve only unlocked the tip of the iceberg of my potential."

"Do you think cultivating later will be as easy as drinking water, just like it is now? You think your Talent will increase, but the difficulty will stay the same?" Ting Fengyin said.

Jiang Man ignored this and said, "I still want to try. Senior, do you have such a Cultivation Skill?"

"I do, but even if you learn it, you’ll still be at Golden Core. How would that help your Zui Fusheng identity?" Ting Fengyin asked.

Jiang Man was taken aback.

’That’s true. People would see right through me instantly.’

"Let’s try something else. Haven’t you been acting as a spokesperson for an Evil God recently?" Ting Fengyin bit into his fruit and chuckled. "I’ll teach you an Evil God’s Technique."

Jiang Man was surprised. "An Evil God’s Technique?"

Ting Fengyin nodded slightly. "Yes. The Evil God’s Technique can help you conceal your appearance and aura."

"The combat power it displays is hard to say, but the Evil God you’ve been in contact with is an Ancient Well Type Evil God, which targets the Heart Spirit."

"It’s perfect for intimidating people. If you use it well, you won’t have to worry about exposing your own weakness at all."

"What if I find other Evil Gods?" Jiang Man asked.

"It’s the same. As long as you can control them, you can acquire some of their characteristics," Ting Fengyin said.

Jiang Man thought for a moment. "But the Immortal Sects shouldn’t tolerate Evil Gods. If I use an Evil God’s power like this, won’t I become an outcast?"

Ting Fengyin leaned back and looked at Jiang Man. "You will. But Zui Fusheng is fated to die anyway, so there’s no need to worry about being an outcast or not. Besides, those who know the Evil God Technique have all undergone trials of the Heart Spirit, which is a testament to their strength. This is actually more beneficial for you."

"Especially since you have an Immortal Dao Coordinate, which is highly compatible with the Evil God Technique. However, I have to ask you a question."

"What is it?" Jiang Man asked, curious.

"If you become powerful enough, will you use the Immortal Dao Coordinate yourself?" Ting Fengyin asked, staring at Jiang Man.

Jiang Man shook his head. "I won’t."

"Why not?"

"Why not? Why should I use it? Why would I walk a path that those before me have failed to tread?"

Ting Fengyin chuckled. "Actually, many people give the same answer as you at first. But when they reach the end of their path, their thoughts change."

"I just killed one recently. He was a powerful expert in his own right and thought he’d never walk this path."

"In the final moment before I killed him, he still chose this path, becoming an Evil God and escaping to your side."

"Quite a few Evil Gods have fled over there recently. One from an Immortal Sect escaped, and now there’s another. You should pay attention."

"Also, the one I just killed should have a descendant on your side with the surname Tantai."

"Find them, and you might be able to find that Evil God."

"Or just wait for the Evil God to find them."

"If you detect the aura of an Evil God, you can use the Evil God’s Technique to call my name."

"As long as the auras of these two specific Evil Gods are present, I will come."

Jiang Man thought for a moment and quickly asked, "What if my life is in danger? Can I call you then?"

Ting Fengyin glanced at Jiang Man, then said, "If you’re just in mortal danger, don’t bother calling. I won’t be able to sense it, and I won’t come."

"But if I die, won’t you be out of a pawn, Senior?" Jiang Man asked.

Ting Fengyin said smugly, "I can just open the Magpie Bridge again and find another chosen one. If someone with your high Talent couldn’t even survive, it means you have some serious issues. Finding a replacement would be for the best."

"How could a normal Unparalleled Celestial Pride obtain so many things, anyway?"

Jiang Man fell silent. Others weren’t qualified to say such a thing, but Ting Fengyin certainly was.

If it were anyone else, Jiang Man would have told them they didn’t understand what it meant to be a prodigy.

But he couldn’t say that to Ting Fengyin.

He possessed the Great Success Body of Heaven and Earth and was an Unparalleled Celestial Pride.

As for all the things he had obtained, he didn’t know how he got them either; they just sort of fell into his lap.

He hadn’t really gone anywhere special, just on missions.

And he just happened to run into these things.

"You’re not one to stay out of trouble. You’re just at Golden Core now. Once you get stronger, I think you’ll end up tangling with those Evil Gods. When that time comes, call me if I’m free." Ting Fengyin said with a smile, "We’ll give them a surprise."

Jiang Man was stunned. ’This is another way to save my own life,’ he thought. He could only hope those Evil Gods would know how to behave themselves.

"Any other questions?" Ting Fengyin asked, picking a new piece of fruit. "If not, I’ll begin teaching you the Evil God Technique. I don’t know how long it will take, and we might not have enough time."
