The End of the Immortal Path

Jiang Man considered it carefully.

Finding the Bai Family Ancestor, and then killing him, would be an extremely difficult task.

Because of the information imbalance.

Just finding him would be a hassle.

Second, his current strength was completely insufficient.

So, he couldn’t rush things.

As for True Master Tai Hua...

It was debatable whether he was even still in the Wuyun Sect.

Contacting him would be even more difficult.

He could only play it by ear.

If no opportunity arose, his only option was to observe the people around Miss Ji Meng.

He’d see if he could find anyone suspicious.

"If you overcome these difficulties, find the Bai Family Ancestor, and raise your Cultivation to Primordial Spirit Perfection, which identity do you plan to use to kill him?" the Old Yellow Ox asked.

Jiang Man replied without hesitation, "The Zui Fusheng identity, of course. If I use my own to kill him, I probably won’t survive."

"I thought you’d use your real identity to kill him. Show Peak Master Bai that when someone offends you, you’ll even kill their ancestor without a second thought," the Old Yellow Ox said.

Jiang Man looked at the Old Yellow Ox and said suddenly, "That’s true, but there’s no rush. I like to let the light of a Celestial Pride shine upon him."

"Whether or not I’m implicated isn’t important. What’s important is that he genuinely hindered my progress."

"No matter what, I’m going to let him feel the light of an Unparalleled Celestial Pride."

After that, Jiang Man stopped overthinking it. Wanting to shine his own glory upon a Peak Master...

...was even more difficult than killing the Bai Family Ancestor as Zui Fusheng.

Jiang Man thought about it carefully.

For now, what he could actually do was raise his Cultivation, then find someone to ask for the Primordial Spirit Promotion Method.

Finally, he needed to find out if there would be an opportunity for promotion during the Immortal Sect Grand Competition.

If there was, he would secretly enter the Zhenyue Bureau’s Secret Realm during the competition.

And complete his promotion.

As for everything else, it would all be easier to handle once his Cultivation was higher.

In addition, waking the Evil God was a concurrent task. It would be best if he could get a look at the Evil God Record.

With this in mind, Jiang Man first asked the Old Yellow Ox if he knew how to deal with the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit.

"I can deal with it, but the method isn’t from an Immortal Sect. It’s fine if you use it, but it’ll be bad news if you’re discovered," the Old Yellow Ox said, looking at Jiang Man. "Do you want to learn?"

"I’ll learn it when I have time," Jiang Man said.

There was certainly no harm in learning more of these kinds of techniques.

’For example, some Evil Gods are convinced I’m just a Student Cultivator from an Immortal Sect and have ways to resist Immortal Sect methods.’

’That would put me in a very passive position.’

After that, Jiang Man contacted Ren Qian.

"A way to deal with the Ling Hua Evil God?" Ren Qian mused for a moment. "I’ll ask around for you. Is she about to awaken?"

"Yes. I’ve decided to try and suppress her," Jiang Man said frankly.

"And if you fail?" Ren Qian asked, rather curious.

"Then I’ll just let her go back to sleep. Not a big deal," Jiang Man said confidently.

Ren Qian wasn’t too worried.

The Ancient Well Sixth Secret Realm had always been under their control.

Killing the entity wasn’t difficult.

This was why they could allow Jiang Man to make contact with it.

It would be best if he could obtain more information. If not, it didn’t matter; they could just let the entity remain dormant.

"Anything else you need?" Ren Qian asked.

Jiang Man said he wanted to see Senior Sister Yu.

"I’ll have her come visit you," Ren Qian said.

「A long while later.」

Jiang Man heard voices from outside.

"I’ve been here longer. Why am I the one visiting him, and not the other way around?" Yu Wanyi asked, clearly displeased.

Ren Qian’s calm voice replied, "His confinement is stricter than yours. Naturally, you’re the one to visit."

Yu Wanyi was perplexed. "So a serious criminal was kept here? Come to think of it, I never knew who they held in this place."

"A very serious one," Ren Qian replied casually.

Soon, Yu Wanyi arrived before Jiang Man and asked curiously, "Junior Brother, you were looking for me?"

Jiang Man nodded and got straight to the point. "Senior Sister, is there any way you can help me get the Primordial Spirit Promotion Method ahead of time?"

Hearing this, Yu Wanyi froze. "Junior Brother, you’re about to have a breakthrough?"

’Isn’t that too fast?’

Jiang Man shook his head. "Not yet, but I need to be prepared. After all, the Immortal Sect Grand Competition is quite long."

Yu Wanyi nodded. "It is quite long. But under normal circumstances, you can’t obtain the Primordial Spirit Promotion Method in advance."

’Can’t under normal circumstances?’

’That means it’s possible under abnormal circumstances.’

Jiang Man looked at Yu Wanyi. "Then I’ll leave the rest to you, Senior Sister. Also, I’d like to know, are there opportunities to break through to the Primordial Spirit realm during the Immortal Sect Grand Competition?"

"Such opportunities exist. Only three people have gotten one in the last hundred years," Yu Wanyi said.

Jiang Man was a little surprised. ’So people have actually obtained it before.’

’That makes things even more convenient.’

He, of course, had no intention of searching for such an opportunity; it would be too much of a waste of time.

’Directly entering the Zhenyue Bureau’s Secret Realm would probably be easier.’

After sending Yu Wanyi off, Jiang Man began breaking through to the Late Stage of Spirit.

It would take a few days.

Yu Wanyi walked out of the Law Enforcement Hall, feeling rather helpless.

"Junior Sister, you’re out already?" Xia Jin asked in astonishment as she walked over.

Yu Wanyi sighed. "My ’investment’ made a request."

Xia Jin thought for a moment. "He wants you to help him deal with the trouble from the Peak Master?"

When it came to Jiang Man, Xia Jin was at a loss for words.

One moment, Senior Brother Lu was a nervous wreck, utterly crushed, and the next he was cocky again.

As for her, one moment she was mocking him, and the next she had to avoid him whenever she saw him.

Yu Wanyi had it even worse; every time she came out, she risked getting "tapped" for something.

"That’s not it," Yu Wanyi answered honestly.

Xia Jin was shocked. "He wants the Primordial Spirit Promotion Method? Isn’t that a bit too fast?"

"It is," Yu Wanyi agreed. "He’s currently at the Late Stage of Golden Core, but his Physical Body and Spirit are still at the Mid-stage. With that, wanting the Promotion Skill... it’s completely impossible."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? I have to help him get it."

"You’re going to help him get it, even though you know it’s impossible for him to break through to the Primordial Spirit realm?"

"Yes. Because what ’we know’ is based on the understanding of ordinary people. But he isn’t ordinary. He may be a freeloader, but his Talent is undeniable. His understanding is beyond ours. So, when he makes a request, I just have to fulfill it. All that’s left is to wait for the surprise he’ll bring."
