C16 Enemies Have a Narrow Road

"How did you escape from Cultivator of the Qi Core Late Period?"

Fong Xu and Chen Xiufei widened their eyes as if they were looking at a monster.

"I was lucky." Jiang Cen just laughed it off. There were too many secrets that he couldn't reveal.

"Which city is up ahead?" Jiang Cen changed the topic.

"It's a city of cultivators with Nanyang Sect." Fong Xu answered.

"Nanyang Sect!" Jiang Cen's expression couldn't help but change slightly. He recalled Lin Lu's warning before they parted that her Nanyang Sect was extremely terrifying and that she mustn't go.

"What happened to Fellow Taoist Jiang?" Fong Xu saw that Jiang Cen's face did not look good.

Jiang Cen said: "Nothing, I would like to ask, other than Nanyang Sect, is there anywhere else you can go?"

"Of course there are," Fong Xu replied. "Eight hundred kilometers to the east of this city is the Cyan Cloud Sect, and one thousand and two hundred kilometers to the north is the Heng Yue Palace. They are both cultivation sects that are equally famous with the Nanyang Sect."

"Fellow Daoist Chen and I were originally discussing that if we are unable to complete the Immortal Ranking mission, we should go try our luck at Cyan Cloud Sect. However, there's no need for that now! "

Fong Xu smiled as he seemed to be in a good mood. Seeing this, Jiang Cen asked, "Could it be that the two Fellow Daoists have already completed the mission?"

Fong Xu shook his head and said, "That's not the case! Fellow Taoist Jiang still doesn't know, right? The two of us only received the news yesterday — — Nanyang Sect suddenly opened its doors this year, widely accepting rogue cultivators! "

"As long as Cultivator of the Qi Core Period is not a rogue cultivator, regardless of his cultivation age, as long as he hasn't joined any other large sects, he can enter the Nanyang Sect and become an official disciple without having to complete the Immortal Ranking mission. In the past, only rogue cultivators who had completed their missions would be qualified to join the Nanyang Sect. Furthermore, they would have to undergo three examinations before being able to become an official disciple. "

"So that's what the Immortal Ranking Mission is all about!" Jiang Cen thought in his heart. He curiously asked: "Why are the requirements to enter Nanyang Sect so wide all of a sudden?"

Fong Xu said, "The two of us aren't sure either. This is a rare opportunity that only happens once every hundred years, both of us plan to rely on Nanyang Sect, Fellow Taoist Jiang, how about we go together! "

Jiang Cen immediately shook his head. He clearly remembered Lin Lu's reminder. He did not want to just leave this wolf den in the valley and enter Nanyang Sect, that tiger's mouth, once again.

Fong Xu and Chen Xiufei were at the side persuading him, but Jiang Cen insisted on not joining Nanyang Sect.

"I am the Five Spiritual Root, my aptitude is too low. Even if I enter the Nanyang Sect, I don't have much of a chance, so forget it." Jiang Cen said.

Jiang Cen's reasoning was very clear, and Fong Xu and Fong Xu were unable to refute it. Indeed, to cultivators, Five Spiritual Root were enough to make them give up on themselves.

The two of them did not try to persuade anymore, and the three of them walked towards Nanyang City together. Jiang Cen planned to leave the city from the other side after Nanyang City recuperation.

The three of them walked up a path between the rice fields. Cultivators flew over the paddy fields from time to time. Some were still casting spells, gathering to form a small black cloud. It began to rain, watering a small paddy field.

"What a wonderful world! "He's actually using magic to cultivate his fields!" Jiang Cen was quite surprised.

This "dream world" was clearly different from the real world. It didn't seem like any advanced modern technology, but it was filled with cultivators who knew magic everywhere, creating a unique scenery.

If a cultivator could easily fly on a flying magic tool, it was unlikely that anyone would be able to invent something like a plane.

If magic could solve many of the difficulties encountered in daily life, perhaps no one would invent all sorts of technological methods.

However, it seemed that if there were no Immortal cultivators on Earth, then they could only develop in other ways. So although the people of Earth didn't know any spells, they invented all kinds of advanced technology.

It was just like how a person was always smooth sailing. It was probably very difficult for him to train his tenacious character.

If a cheetah could catch food without running fast, its speed would become slower and slower.

Jiang Cen's tenacity was slowly tempered through failure after failure.

Anyone could develop an extraordinary will, but most people gave up easily and were defeated by the difficulty.

Jiang Cen's advantage was that he had to start over again and again, and what happened to him was also his luck!

After passing through the rice fields, the three of them quickly arrived at the river bank under the Nanyang City Sect.

The river was turbulent and there were no boats to ferry them across. On the surface of the river, which was three to five hundred feet wide, there was only one bridge.

This bridge was just a piece of unpolished wood. Even the bark had not been scraped off. One of the bridges was half a zhang thick, and it was over ten zhang high above the river water.

The fog on the surface of the river was very thick. A single bridge was sometimes hidden in the fog, and sometimes it would even be swallowed up by the great waves. Normal people absolutely did not dare to step onto this bridge.

Nanyang City was a city of cultivators, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. This bridge alone was enough to cut off most commoners.

High-tier cultivators were able to fly across rivers, while low-tier cultivators were also able to cross rivers with flying magic tools. If his cultivation wasn't high enough and he didn't have a flying magic tool, then he would have to go his own way.

Fong Xu and Chen Xiufei each took out their flying magic tools. Fong Xu glanced at Jiang Cen and said with a wry smile, "Fellow Taoist Jiang still doesn't have a flying magic tool? Our flying tools are both low-grade and can only carry one person. Furthermore, we really don't have any other flying tools. "

"It doesn't matter. I can take a walk on this bridge!" Jiang Cen was quite confident.

These words were not a boast. After he had cultivated "Tao Scripture", his body's quality had undergone a tremendous change.

Not to mention a bridge, even swimming across the river wouldn't be a problem for Jiang Cen right now.

"Fellow Taoist Jiang, don't let your guard down. This bridge is not easy!" Fong Xu warned and then cupped his hands in a salute, "Then, the two of us will go first. We'll wait for Fellow Taoist Jiang on the other side of the river!"

Jiang Cen returned the greeting and watched the two of them fly away.

He then quickly climbed onto the wooden bridge and strode forward.

It was difficult for him to keep his balance between the rotund tree, the erratic river wind, and the waves that came from time to time.

However, it was as if Jiang Cen had walked on flat ground. The effect of the meridian cultivation technique was fully displayed at this moment: every step he took seemed extremely light, but it was as if he had a thousand pounds of strength under his feet. He firmly stood on the wooden bridge, unmoving despite the wind and the waves.

Soon, he arrived at the center of the river. Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice was heard:

"Fellow Taoist Jiang, we meet again!"

Jiang Cen felt a chill in his heart when he heard that. He immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white-clothed youth standing on a vane shaped flying magic tool, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.

"It's you!" Jiang Cen was shocked!

This white-robed young man was the cultivator who he met a few days ago in the valley when he was trying to save Lin Lu. He was at the late Core Formation stage!

Jiang Cen had used Hundred Sword Talisman to scare the young man away, but he met him here again.

"Such a narrow path for enemies to tread!" Jiang Cen frowned.

"Fellow Taoist Jiang is indeed not simple. Usually, only late stage Core Formation cultivators can walk across this bridge. Fellow Daoist is a Early Period of the Qi Core, and is a full two small realms away from him. The man in white praised him and smiled meaningfully.

Jiang Cen looked at the white clothed young man's clothing carefully and asked: "You have already joined Nanyang Sect?"

"That's right!" The young man in white smiled: "I am Ji Qiu, I entered the sect yesterday." You must also be here to seek refuge with our sect. "

Jiang Cen shook his head and said: "I don't plan to enter Nanyang Sect!"

Ji Qiu was surprised for a moment, then sneered and said, "This is even better. However, the rules of the Nanyang City were: If one wasn't a disciple of the sect, they couldn't stay in the city for long. Fellow Daoist, if you wish to enter the city, please allow me to escort you there!

Ji Qiu waved his hand, signaling Jiang Cen to get on his flying magic tool.

Jiang Cen's heart sank, this Ji Qiu was targeting him.
