The End of the Immortal Path

’Someone is going to release something dangerous during the Immortal Sect’s Grand Competition?’

Jiang Man found this a bit strange.

’What does this have to do with the Immortal Sect’s Grand Competition?’

’Besides, can’t the people from the Immortal Sect just go in directly?’

’It seems I can still go back.’

"Let’s get her under control first." Nan Yue then looked at Jiang Man and said, "I’ll go find an opportunity for you now."

Hearing this, Jiang Man stopped overthinking and smashed a fist into the Demon Fox’s face.

She had been about to say something, but her face was driven straight into the ground.

Because she had Primordial Spirit Cultivation, her Physical Body wasn’t weak either.

This punch only had impact force, with no substantial damage.

So Jiang Man stomped on her a few more times.

In truth, it wasn’t very effective.

A Primordial Spirit was truly powerful.

Fortunately, she was an ancient Demon Cultivator; their kind of Primordial Spirit is too weak.

"You called for backup." At this moment, the Fox Demon spoke angrily from beneath the dirt. "There’s something wrong with your Heart Spirit. Logically, you shouldn’t be able to withstand my Primordial Spirit Power at all. And how did you break through my Primordial Spirit Defense?"

"Do you understand the Great Order of the Immortal Sects?" Jiang Man asked, looking at the fox head stuck in the ground.

"What do you mean?" The Fox Demon struggled out of the ground and stared at Jiang Man, demanding an answer.

"The Great Order of the Immortal Sects you speak of involved a journey you cannot comprehend. Cultivation Methods have long since been deconstructed. Only your Demon Race is still living in the past," Jiang Man said calmly. "You only think the Great Order was selfish, but you failed to understand what it accomplished."

"Naturally, it was a foolish endeavor. They gave precious resources to a bunch of useless mortals, wasting them and cutting off the path for geniuses. It seemed to be for the sake of all living beings, but in reality, it was just to solidify their own unshakable position," the Fox Demon said.

Jiang Man shook his head and kicked her in the face, without any intention of reasoning with her.

He threw a few more punches and stomped on her limbs, breaking all four. Only then did he sit to the side and continue studying the third volume of the Evil God’s Technique.

He had to admit, the Evil God’s Technique was just that useful.

It allowed his combat strength to surpass his own limits.

But even after mastering the third volume, it would likely be difficult to surpass his own Realm by a full major stage.

’In the end, I still have to raise my own level quickly.’

Nan Yue left quickly and returned just as fast.

"Did you find it?" Jiang Man asked.

"I found it, but it’s rather chaotic. The Evil God’s influence is strong," Nan Yue said.

Jiang Man said, unconcerned, "The influence of an Ancient Well Type Evil God?"

Nan Yue nodded.

With that, Jiang Man had him lead the way.

Before long, Jiang Man saw a halo of light.

"The halo is a manifestation of pure Divine Thought. If you sit within it and circulate a Promotion Skill, the Spirit in your body will become active to an extreme degree, allowing you to resonate with the halo. After absorbing it, you can plant a seed in your Heart Spirit. You’ll awaken after that."

"All that’s left is to let the seed take root and sprout, just like a Primordial Spirit being born within the body." Nan Yue added a reminder, "This halo has too much of an Evil God’s aura. You must be extremely careful. Perhaps you should wait a bit longer for me to find a more stable one."

"No need." Jiang Man shook his head. "This one is just right."

’The chaos means the effect is strong.’

’I can plant the seed in less time.’

’But how long does it take for the seed to take root and sprout?’

"The stronger your foundation, the faster the seed will take root and sprout. Some people finish in a month, while others need a hundred days."

"A normal Cultivator takes a hundred days." Nan Yue thought for a moment before saying, "But you’re so strong, I’m afraid it will be less than ten days for you."

The stronger one was, the stronger their foundation.

To be able to clash head-on with a Primordial Spirit, his foundation went without saying.

He was definitely among the strongest.

But this didn’t match his youth.

He couldn’t understand it either. Perhaps all his guesses were wrong.

After that, he watched Jiang Man enter the halo and begin his Cultivation.

After setting up a few Arrays, he left.

He had to go deal with that Fox Demon.

Without Jiang Man, she was still extremely dangerous, even with her four limbs broken.

At this moment, Jiang Man’s entire focus was on the surrounding halo.

He could feel the Spirit in his body thrumming with excitement.

But he felt like something was missing.

Without further hesitation, he swallowed a Primordial Spirit Pill and simultaneously circulated the Promotion Skill.

Not long after being swallowed, the Elixir dissolved at an incredible speed, flowing through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and nourishing every part of his body.

The parts that were originally lacking were gradually being replenished.

After an unknown amount of time, his body reached an unprecedented peak state.

After that, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit began to converge toward the spot between his eyebrows.

This process was extremely long, requiring his Heart Spirit to control the merging and dormancy of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

The slightest carelessness could cause his aura to fall into chaos, leading to a loss of control and a failed promotion.

Fortunately, Jiang Man was skilled in these matters.

When enough Essence, Qi, and Spirit had gathered, it transformed into a seed and vanished into his Spirit Platform.

At that moment, Jiang Man felt his body become hollow, as if it needed to be watered immediately to make the seed sprout and fill him up again.

The first step was complete.

With that, Jiang Man opened his eyes.

The surrounding halo had completely vanished. He hadn’t felt the so-called influence of the Ancient Well Type Evil God at all.

’Perhaps I carry the aura of an Ancient Well Type Evil God myself.’

However, when he opened his eyes, he saw Nan Yue sitting to the side, studying an Array.

"You’re finished?" Nan Yue was a little surprised.

Jiang Man nodded and asked curiously, "How long was I in Cultivation?"

"A little over a month. It’s the beginning of the third month now," Nan Yue said.

He paused for a moment before continuing, "The other two have also found their opportunities and are in the process of planting their seeds. Also, the Demon Fox was taken away, and we got some information I can share with you."

He was indeed curious about the news regarding the Demon Fox.

After all, it involved the Immortal Sect’s Grand Competition.

And he would be returning soon.

"The Demon Fox belongs to the Sun and Moon Immortal Path, but the Sun and Moon Immortal Path is actually just a name, not the name of an Evil God." Nan Yue looked thoughtful. "We can’t be certain who the Evil God behind it is, but it might be related to space."

"Related to space?" Jiang Man didn’t understand.
