Chapter 668: Chapter 355: You Write the Request, I’ll Approve It

Shen Yao sighed. It was no wonder he could pull off something like blackmailing people by writing down their names.

Jiang Man also didn’t understand what these people were so surprised about. These people were obviously not part of the Immortal Sect system. Then wouldn’t things be much easier to handle? Whatever he did wouldn’t violate the Immortal Sect’s rules, as long as everything went smoothly. Besides, wasn’t the Immortal Sect built upon the Immortal Court? Taking over their territory was completely reasonable.

Later, they arrived in front of a small mountain peak. There was a city at the foot of the mountain and magnificent buildings at the top. It looked like a fairyland on earth. Nestled by the mountain and water, the Spiritual Qi was dense and misty. Occasionally, white cranes would glide past, stirring up gentle breezes with the flapping of their wings. Such an environment was a rare sight in the outside world.

Inside the grand hall.

When Jiang Man and the others stepped through the hall’s doors, it still felt somewhat surreal. The Spiritual Qi here was incredibly dense, and the environment was far superior to the outside world. It was as if this place hadn’t been affected at all.

The hall’s floor was paved with bluestone tiles. Tall stone pillars stood on both sides, their surfaces carved with archaic, simple patterns.

"Immortals, what’s wrong?" asked a middle-aged man standing beside the old man.

"It’s nothing," Shen Yao replied. She was the most composed among them. Coming from the Immortal Sect, her worldview was naturally much broader than the others’. She then looked curiously at the middle-aged man and asked, "The Spiritual Qi here is quite good. Why is your Cultivation so low?"

She was genuinely asking out of curiosity. But as soon as the words left her mouth, the middle-aged man frowned. The smile on his face faded slightly. He quickly lowered his head and said, "We naturally cannot be compared to the Immortal Court."

Shen Yao blinked, finding his reaction baffling.

Seeing this, the old man squeezed out a smile and said, "Immortals, please rest here for a moment. We need to go and prepare a few things so you can enter the Forbidden Land as soon as possible." After that, the old man left with his people.

Only then did Zhao Li look up. He glanced around and lowered his voice, "This isn’t normal."

Chen Jinmu immediately looked at Shen Yao. "Junior Sister Shen, check your Magical Treasure. Have we fallen under the influence of some mind-altering mist?"

Shen Yao immediately took out her Magical Treasure and held it in her palm. A seven-colored light illuminated and circled around her. But she looked left and right, her frown deepening, unable to detect any problems. However, it was indeed strange. She just felt like something was off. Things seemed to be going a little too smoothly.

"Could it be that they want to ambush us?" Shen Yao asked.

Zhao Li and Chen Jinmu exchanged a glance, equally unsure. They turned their heads, intending to ask Jiang Man. But as soon as they turned, they saw that Jiang Man had already begun his Cultivation.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yao asked.

"Cultivation, of course." Jiang Man absorbed the surrounding Spiritual Qi and answered truthfully, "The Spiritual Qi here is so abundant, shouldn’t we absorb more of it? Replenish yourselves a little and get a better feel for it."

The three of them looked at each other in dismay. Get a feel for what?

Without even glancing at them, Jiang Man said, "Get a feel for the difference between the Spiritual Qi outside and the Spiritual Qi here. Although it’s all used for advancement, Spiritual Qi isn’t all the same. By distinguishing the differences, you can adjust the circulation of your power and avoid wasting it.

"Besides, there is definitely an Array here, and different Spiritual Qi affects Arrays differently.

"Sometimes, the slightest difference can lead to completely different results."

As he spoke, Jiang Man looked up, his gaze sweeping over the three of them. "Have you never learned this, or do you just not know how to sense it?"

For a moment, the three were silent.

"Neither?" Jiang Man shook his head slightly. "Since you don’t know how, what are you standing there for? Are you just going to waste time?"

"But this place isn’t normal." Shen Yao suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing she had almost been led astray by him. She stared at Jiang Man and said, "We are here to complete a mission. Given the current situation, we should figure out what’s going on here first to ensure the mission’s success. Once we’re eliminated, it will be hard to get back in."

Zhao Li and Chen Jinmu nodded in agreement. They should prioritize completing the mission. As for Cultivation, there would be plenty of time for that later. The Spiritual Qi wouldn’t make that much of a difference.

Jiang Man withdrew his gaze and continued to absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi, but he still spoke up. "This place belongs to the Immortal Court, and the Immortal Court perished a long time ago. With his Primordial Spirit Perfection Cultivation, that old man has lived for who knows how many centuries. Do you think he doesn’t know the Immortal Court is gone?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Shen Yao blinked and thought for a moment. "You mean to say, they know you’re lying?"

Jiang Man’s eyes fell on her, holding a trace of confusion. "Was my lie not clumsy enough? Who couldn’t see through it? Right now, they’re probably cursing our stupidity, thinking we actually believe they’re that dense."

The three fell silent. Zhao Li and Chen Jinmu exchanged a glance, their faces feeling slightly hot. They were utterly ashamed, yet they just didn’t understand why Jiang Man had done that.

Seeing that they were speechless, Jiang Man casually explained, "They obviously want to do something but can’t do it themselves. Our arrival made them feel like it’s finally possible."

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Man continued, "So, there’s no need to overthink it. No matter what, they will send us in. Under these circumstances, we just need to give the orders.

"We have a goal, and they have theirs.

"As long as we complete our goal first, that’s all that matters.

"Their stance is irrelevant."

There was one more thing Jiang Man didn’t say aloud: what mattered was the role the Wuyou Evil God played in all this. Others might not know, but did he not know that this place was formed three hundred years ago? More than three hundred years ago, Ting Fengyin struck the Supreme Heart Hall down to this location, and that was how this place came to be. Therefore, the so-called extensive history the old man had mentioned was likely completely fabricated.

But none of that mattered. He had entered and hadn’t been stopped, which meant the Wuyou Evil God was giving him a chance. And grasping opportunities was what he did best. Right now, what he needed to do was focus entirely on understanding this place, and then enter the Supreme Heart Hall.
