There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 25: Xizi Cangzhou, Daguan Xianzhou

For the Great River Sect, the Ink Blood Jiaoqiu holds a special significance.

Thinking back to the past, when the four clans opened the river, it was a difficult and arduous journey.

Just when they finally stood firm, the savage beasts came again.

At the transition of spring and summer, the Ink Blood Jiaoqiu attacked.

In the end, the ancestor of the He clan fought against the Ink Blood Jiaoqiu in front of the sect.

After days of fierce battle, the White Cang surged and the land was plowed for thousands of miles.

In the end, both the man and the beast perished together.

The dragon blood soaked the earth, and the resentment never ceased.

And that cursed land is now the Black Qiu Forest that stretches for hundreds of miles.

After a thousand years, the Ink Blood Jiaoqiu has unexpectedly returned.

If you were to ask which elder's reaction was the greatest, it would naturally be He Niansheng.

If it weren't for that Ink Blood Jiaoqiu back then, the Great River Sect would have become the river of his clan.

A deathly silence gradually enveloped the entire Great River Hall.

The Ink Blood Jiaoqiu is different from other savage beasts; it is smarter and more difficult to deal with.

And now, the Great River Sect cannot produce a Nascent Soul cultivator to contend with it.

During this moment of silence, Jiang Chong's profound gaze turned to Jiang Zhi, who was sitting across from him.

Jiang Zhi was the only female cultivator among the seven.

She had a plump figure, and although her face showed signs of aging, it also had a mature allure.

Receiving Jiang Chong's hint, Jiang Zhi slowly stood up and spoke.

"Master, this is indeed a critical moment of survival. We should make arrangements early and not harbor any illusions."

Listening to Jiang Zhi's words, the sect master, Haiguo, also raised his head slowly.

"Elder Jiang Zhi, are you suggesting...?"

"Master, we should prepare for the worst."

Prepare for the worst...

Resting on the back of his chair, Haiguo let out a long sigh.

As the sect master, he naturally knew what Jiang Zhi meant by preparing for the worst.

The worst-case scenario here is to abandon the Great River Sect's mountain gate, preserve their strength, and plan for the future.

Is it really going to come to this?

Is the Great River Sect really going to be destroyed under my leadership?

Haiguo slowly closed his eyes.

The Great River Hall fell into silence once again.

"Master, as you know, the Ink Blood Jiaoqiu is different from other savage beasts. Back then, it came straight for the sect without any warning."

"We can make arrangements as before, but we must prepare for the worst."

Listening to Jiang Chong's voice, Haiguo slowly opened his eyes again.

"Elder Jiang Chong, what do you think we should do?"

"Reporting to the master, our ancestor Jiang Xun forged the Great River Boat for the Great River Sect, as well as five Universe Bracelets."

"With the Great River Boat carrying the core disciples of the sect and the Universe Bracelets containing the essence of each mountain, even if the situation gets out of control, we can still preserve our greatest strength. People are in the mountain gate, and the Great River Sect is still here!"

While the elders were deep in thought, He Niansheng slowly looked at Jiang Chong.

Good!

What a good old dog!

So, this old dog's plan is here!

Daring to plot against my Qing Elixir Peak!

As He Niansheng coldly observed, the other elders had already made their decision.

Soon, the sect master Haiguo stood up.

"Then let's do it this way."

In an instant, a radiant bracelet was handed to He Niansheng.

"Elder Niansheng, Qing Elixir Peak is the future of the sect. You must carefully count the assets."

Listening to Jiang Chong's hoarse voice, He Niansheng remained expressionless.

"In my opinion, all five bracelets should be handed over to the master's older brother."

"Who agrees? Who opposes!"

Just at this moment, the wise Haiyan spoke up again.

Before Haiyan's words fell, Jiang Chong immediately echoed.

"This old man has no objections."

Beside them, Hailong also spoke slowly.

"This old man naturally trusts the master."

At this point, the gazes of the elders directly swept towards He Niansheng and the elder with the surname Hu.

He Niansheng remained calm, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, while the elder with the surname Hu had an iron-blue complexion and a fierce gaze.

The tense atmosphere gradually spread. During this dead silence, the sect master Haiguo stood up again.

"Each peak should return on their own, as for the matter of the Universe Bracelet, we will discuss it later."

Putting away the Universe Bracelet, He Niansheng coldly glanced at Jiang Chong, then turned and left Great River Peak without looking back.

As his figure turned, the howling wind echoed in his ears, and waves of shock surged in He Niansheng's heart.

What a Jiang Chong!

He's willing to give up the Universe Bracelet?

Qing Elixir Peak belongs to me!

Not some bullshit Great River Sect!

When I took over Qing Elixir Peak, it was still a desolate mountain!

I became a Grandmaster of Alchemy, and I shaped Qing Elixir Peak as it is today.

What right do you have to take it away!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, He Niansheng headed straight for the Qing Dan Valley.

Before the grass hut, He Niansheng had already calmed his mind.

Facing the imminent collapse of the mountain, he remained unfazed.

This is the demeanor of a hero.

Entering the grass hut, Xia Ming had been waiting for a long time.

"Xia Ming, pay respects to the master. Are we going to study herbs today, master?"

Hearing Xia Ming's proactive inquiry, a hint of surprise flashed in He Niansheng's eyes.

A great dream, the present is the hometown.

Indeed, Soul Daoist is formidable!

Gently patting Xia Ming's shoulder, He Niansheng said:

"Xia Ming, today I will teach you about the shapes of mountains and the flow of water."

Master He took up the brush, and Xia Ming stood upright.

Soon, a picture of mountains and rivers appeared before Xia Ming's eyes.

Great River's nine peaks are located in the tranquil bay downstream of the Bai Cang River.

Near the Great River Sect, there are hundreds of towns scattered about.

They rely on the protection of the Great River Sect, and they are also the key to maintaining the sect's vitality.

Upstream of the Bai Cang River, there are still thirty-six sects lined along the river.

Thirty-six sects, tens of thousands of cultivators, and millions of common people.

Relying on the vast Bai Cang River, endless lives are nurtured and cultivated.

But even so, the area covered by the Bai Cang River is less than one-fifth of the West Cangzhou.

The range of human activities is less than one-tenth of the West Cangzhou.

That's why the West Cangzhou is classified as a wasteland.

...

Hearing this, Xia Ming was directly stunned.

Cultivators are so powerful, yet the thirty-seven sects cannot cover the entire province?

This West Cangzhou actually belongs to a wasteland!

May I ask, master, what is considered a wasteland?

Where savage beasts roam and the human race is weak, that is a wasteland.

Then, master, what are savage beasts?

Born and nurtured by nature, with strong physical bodies, they carry their own potential, that is a savage beast.

Then, master, besides the wasteland, what other provinces are there?

Upstream of the Bai Cang River is the magnificent Guanxian Province, blessed by immortals, with diverse landscapes.

When mentioning the Guanxian Province, even He Niansheng revealed a longing expression.

Seeing this scene, Xia Ming couldn't help but exclaim, and he hurriedly asked again.

"Master, master, what is beyond the Guanxian Province?"

At this point, a hint of surprise flashed in He Niansheng's eyes.

This kid... has quite the ambition.

You should know that an ordinary person can't even cross one province in their lifetime.

And this kid actually wants to know what's beyond the Guanxian Province.

Shaking his head gently, He Niansheng slowly said:

"Xia Ming, I don't know what's beyond the Guanxian Province either..."

"I only know that the ancestors of the Great River Sect came from the Guanxian Province."

"I see..."

Looking at the disappointment on Xia Ming's face, He Niansheng secretly thought:

Xia Ming, Xia Ming.

Don't worry, I will use your body to go to the Guanxian Province.

By then...

I will tell you about the world beyond the Guanxian Province.
