Chapter 587: Chapter 321: Why Is the Old Woman Acting Like a Young Girl?

Luoyun City.

The Gao family.

Today, Gao Cunfeng had arranged a meeting with Patriarch Luo Huaili.

"Patriarch Gao, has something happened?" Luo Huaili asked.

"I received some news," Gao Cunfeng said seriously. "The Sect is preparing to expand its recruitment this time. The scope of this expansion is vast, and they might even enlarge the Sect’s territory."

"Expanding recruitment?" Luo Huaili was somewhat surprised. "Even here?"

"Yes. It won’t be long before the person in charge sent by the Sect arrives." Gao Cunfeng pondered briefly before continuing. "This time, the person in charge carries immense authority. The slightest misstep could alter the balance of power in Luoyun City.

"Therefore, Patriarch Luo, you must be careful."

Among all the families in Luoyun City, the Luo Family was the weakest. There was currently no news from their family’s only Golden Core Cultivator in the Inner Sect. If it weren’t for the Gao Family, the Luo Family would have likely fallen into ruin long ago.

Luo Huaili sighed internally. If the newly appointed person in charge decided to make a move, the Luo Family would be the first to bear the brunt. Whether they could survive this ordeal was hard to say.

"Right now, it’s not just us. Even the Fang Family and the Li Family are very worried," Gao Cunfeng said. "They’re all asking around the Sect to find out who the person in charge is this time. If we can make contact in advance, things will be much more secure."

He paused and let out a sigh. "My youngest son originally had some connections, but unfortunately, asking him yielded no information either. What does your daughter say?"

"She hasn’t sent any news back," Luo Huaili said, shaking his head.

"Then we can only wait," Gao Cunfeng said helplessly. "Let’s hope this person in charge won’t go too far. Otherwise, it’s really hard to say what will happen. Once we find out who it is, we must immediately ask those in the Inner Sect."

Luo Huaili felt helpless, as the Luo Family currently had no one in the Inner Sect. Luo Lu, their only hope, had yet to obtain the qualifications for Core Formation. Their other Golden Core Cultivator had already left the Inner Sect; although he worked within the Sect, his influence was far inferior to those still inside.

Luo Huaili nodded. After a brief pause, he added, "Luo Xuan seems to be getting along quite well with Gao Yao recently. They’ve both reached Foundation Establishment, which is a good thing."

Gao Cunfeng sighed in frustration. "My boy doesn’t know what’s good for him. I have no idea what’s going on inside his head."

He truly felt disappointed that his son wasn’t living up to expectations. It wasn’t as if they hadn’t met Luo Xuan before; whenever she returned, she would come by to visit. The girl was willing, and despite many external factors, she didn’t seem averse to the idea.

She was beautiful, virtuous, and had a good temperament. She was also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Yet, a certain someone remained oblivious, completely unappreciative of his good fortune.

However, there was no time to meddle with them now; they had to deal with the expansion first. He only hoped they could safely weather this storm. In truth, these two youngsters had more connections. Perhaps asking them again might yield some information.

Wuyun Sect.

The Inner Sect.

Moonlight cascaded over Jiang Man. By now, he had already begun assimilating the Innate Spiritual Qi, eager to see exactly what kind of Divine Technique would appear this time, and whether it would hold him back.

As he fused with the Innate Spiritual Qi, Jiang Man felt his Cultivation resonate with his Physical Body, soon joined by his Primordial Spirit. A formless, ethereal change manifested around all three. It was as if an insurmountable chasm had been drawn, rendering things that were inches away utterly unreachable.

Then, everything vanished, integrating completely into his body.

In that instant, Jiang Man opened his eyes. He had comprehended a brand-new Divine Technique.

Inch and Mile.

"Did a Divine Technique appear?" the Old Yellow Ox asked, looking at him.

"Yes, it appeared," Jiang Man nodded. However, he wasn’t clear on the specifics.

"What is it called?" the Old Yellow Ox asked.

"Inch and Mile," Jiang Man answered truthfully, "but I don’t know its specific effects yet."

Saying that, he turned to look at the Tengu, who was watering the grass nearby. "Come Attack me."

The moment the words left his mouth, the Tengu darted toward Jiang Man with a SWISH. Baring its claws, it launched a direct Attack.

Jiang Man was speechless.

Such a swift reaction... this was definitely somewhat personal.

However, the moment it closed in, Jiang Man activated his Divine Technique, Inch and Mile. The Tengu, which was just about to land its strike on Jiang Man, seemed to freeze right next to him. It couldn’t advance a single inch further.

Jiang Man also felt a sensation that he couldn’t touch his opponent either. But he could still use his Spirit coercion. Additionally, he could simply dodge the Attack.

Jiang Man took a step forward. The Tengu returned to normal, its claws swiping at thin air as its entire body crashed to the ground.

"Looks pretty good. What about the consumption?" the Old Yellow Ox asked.

"It drained some Essence, Qi, and Spirit, but there’s no continuous consumption. It’s different from Three Mountains Subduing the Peaks," Jiang Man said after carefully sensing his condition. Three Mountains Subduing the Peaks would continuously absorb his Spirit to strengthen its power, whereas Inch and Mile did not.

"It seems to be randomly generated," the Old Yellow Ox commented.

Jiang Man was somewhat skeptical. "Is the Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart really this kind? Could it be a trap?"

The Old Yellow Ox fell silent for a moment before replying, "You should focus your attention on the Immortal Ascension Dojo instead."

"Is that the most difficult part?" Jiang Man asked.

The Old Yellow Ox merely smiled without saying a word, leaving Jiang Man to guess for himself.

Jiang Man chose to ignore him. It was always like this—whenever the ox found an opportunity, he would only tell half the story and leave the rest hanging. Jiang Man hated people like that the most, and he hated it even more that he wasn’t the one doing it. If he were the one dropping half-truths and making Old Huang guess, he would have been more than happy.

Jiang Man didn’t dwell on it much. Instead, he chose to first improve Mr. Ji’s power operation method. After all, it could alleviate his current condition. The pain in his Physical Body caused by his excessively high Spirit could be eased after improving his power application method. The shock during his breakthrough would also be smaller, and the process would be faster.

The more he cultivated, the more Jiang Man realized Mr. Ji’s sheer genius. In the Primordial Spirit Realm, there was likely no better Cultivation plan than this.

The so-called power application method was divided into three parts.

The first part was meticulous control. He had to sink his Divine Thought into every corner of his body until there were no blind spots left. His body would no longer be an ambiguous whole, but a vast web of power connected by his Primordial Spirit and will.
