Chapter 641: Chapter 345: They Are Definitely Dao Companions

"Did a great war break out?" Jiang Man asked in confusion.

Ling Hua Immortal Spirit shook her head. "Not yet. It seems they haven’t used their full strength."

"How do you know?" Jiang Man asked.

"I was too close at the time, yet the aftershocks of their power didn’t kill me," Ling Hua Immortal Spirit said with certainty. "So they definitely weren’t going all out."

Jiang Man fell silent for a moment, finding some merit in her judgment. She didn’t speak without a reason.

"And then?" Jiang Man asked.

Ling Hua Immortal Spirit recalled for a moment, her voice trembling slightly. "I started fleeing before they even began fighting. Then, I heard footsteps that seemed to trample directly upon my Heart Spirit.

"Even though I am the Immortal Spirit that controls the Heart Spirit, at that moment, it felt like the very source of my Cultivation was being trampled on and rejected.

"Next, I heard someone whispering.

"But I couldn’t make out the words.

"Later, that voice transitioned from echoing within my Heart Spirit to resounding throughout the heaven and earth.

"In an instant, my ears exploded.

"I saw those people stop fighting, and I saw a figure I couldn’t even begin to comprehend.

"I didn’t dare to look further. I just kept running, healing myself along the way.

"When my hearing recovered, I heard a voice that was both cold and completely mad.

"He said, ’You only have two choices: either join me and kill them all, or wait for me to kill them all and come back to kill you. No one can remain neutral.’"

With that, Ling Hua Immortal Spirit fell silent.

Engrossed in the tale, Jiang Man asked curiously, "And then?"

"That’s it," Ling Hua Immortal Spirit said innocently. "The voice pierced through my body, and I died."

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised. That fast?

"I actually think I died relatively late. When the voice echoed through the world, I felt some powers sweeping past. I was just lucky enough not to be hit by them initially," Ling Hua Immortal Spirit explained.

Jiang Man was baffled. "Which poor bastard died even earlier than you?"

After confirming he couldn’t get any more information out of her, Jiang Man asked if any other Evil Gods had come looking for them. Ling Hua Immortal Spirit shook her head and said no.

Jiang Man found it strange. It had been so long; why hadn’t any Evil Gods found them yet? Did the news of the Immortal Dao Coordinate’s appearance spread that slowly? It had already been several years.

Afterward, Jiang Man instructed Ling Hua Immortal Spirit to contact the Black-robed Men. Since he was already here, he might as well explain some Cultivation Methods to them and pass down the fifth edition of the Eternal Sun. This was a special edition, perfectly suited for those whose Heart Spirits already had problems. It would be useless for people like Zhuo Bufan to learn it.

Soon after, Chen Shi arrived. He bowed respectfully to Jiang Man. "Lord Envoy."

"Alright, have you gathered any Cultivation questions? I will explain them to you now," Jiang Man said. His time was extremely precious, so he wasn’t going to wait around for them to slowly collect their inquiries.

The other party quickly brought out their questions. After explaining them one by one, Jiang Man passed down the fifth edition of the Visualization Skill and finally left. Before leaving, he told Ling Hua Immortal Spirit to contact the mysterious Evil God to ask for news about the Supreme Heart Hall.

Back at his residence, the sky had already grown dark.

In the courtyard, the Old Yellow Ox was still in the same spot, looking as though it hadn’t moved an inch.

Jiang Man walked over and shared what he had learned this time. First was the Wuyou Evil God; she was a higher-up in the Ji Family and one of the core instigators of the great war back then. He then brought up the details of that great war.

"That talk about killing everyone and allowing no neutrality—was that said by Ting Fengyin after going mad?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

The Old Yellow Ox looked at Jiang Man in silence before replying, "When it involves that person, no one dares to speak carelessly."

"Then why did Ling Hua Immortal Spirit dare to?" Jiang Man asked.

The Old Yellow Ox stared at Jiang Man, its eyes seemingly asking him to try calling out that person’s name in front of her to see if they would respond.

Jiang Man understood. The stronger someone was, the more reservations they had. The weak were simply ignored.

"After that battle, did you die, Old Huang?" Jiang Man suddenly asked.

The Old Yellow Ox just chewed its grass, completely ignoring the question. Jiang Man didn’t mind and simply began his Cultivation. He continued all the way until the end of December.

By then, Jiang Man had completely filled the fourth Gourd. Now, his Cultivation had reached Perfection, his Physical Body had reached Perfection, and his Primordial Spirit level had reached Perfection. In terms of Cultivation, he had no more room for improvement. Within his body were nine vortexes—power vortexes brought about by a Top-grade Skill. This made him more than just a little bit stronger than an ordinary person at Primordial Spirit Perfection.

With the Nine-star Series at Perfection and the Grand Technique Great Sun Shining Sky at Great Success, he was already invincible within the small courtyard. He only had to wait for those people to return and participate in the assessment together. He would let them feel just how dazzling the radiance of an Unparalleled Celestial Pride could be.

However, considering they had also received guidance from Mr. Ji and the others, his own radiance might not be overwhelming enough just yet. Right now, he needed to learn the control and circulation of power. Because he was at the Spiritual Ninth Layer, gaining complete control would take more time, but he still had plenty of it.

January first.

Mr. Ji arrived to test their power circulation. The winter sunlight slanted down from above the small courtyard, bleaching the bluestone ground a pale white.

The first to be tested was Mr. Yan.

A moment later, Mr. Yan was standing with his head bowed and his hands behind his back, his fingertips twisting together anxiously. He looked just like a Student Cultivator who had done something wrong.

Mr. Ji said calmly, "It’s a bit slow, but the direction is correct. Mr. Yan, you need to work harder, or else An Rong and the others are going to surpass you."

Down below, An Rong wore a look of utter bewilderment. She was clearly the impressive one, so why did it sound like she was the worst among them?

Afterward, Mr. Ji looked at Wei Ran and asked, "Wei Ran, are you aiming for the Primordial Spirit qualification this time?"

Wei Ran nodded. "I’d like to try."

Jiang Man was a bit surprised. It had only been two years. That meant Wei Ran was going to achieve his Primordial Spirit at the age of thirty. His Talent was astonishing.

The others also looked at Wei Ran in shock. He was actually going to advance to the Primordial Spirit stage without making a single sound about it beforehand? Suddenly, everyone felt a tremendous amount of pressure. It seemed they would have to pull a few more all-nighters and consume a few more Spiritual Sources.
