Chapter 38: Nine Immortal Lotus!

“Oh? What method?” Jiang Wang asked immediately after hearing Meng Man’s words.

Seeing Jiang Wang’s eagerness, Meng Man didn’t keep him in suspense and said directly, “Around 20,000 kilometers from the village, there’s a treasured land.”

“In that land grow several immortal medicines known as the Nine Immortal Lotus. After consuming it, those whose physical bodies have reached perfection can break through their limits and directly ascend to a higher level.”

“There’s actually such a heavenly treasure?” Shen Ruyan was astonished and turned to Jiang Wang, “Jiang Wang, let’s go now!”

Although Jiang Wang felt a surge of joy, he didn’t lose his rationality. He looked calmly at Meng Man and said, “I’m guessing the Nine Immortal Lotus won’t be easy to obtain, will it?”

Meng Man nodded. “That’s right. While the Nine Immortal Lotus can break the limits of the physical body, it’s incredibly difficult to acquire. Not only are there powerful ferocious beasts guarding it, but the place where it grows is filled with shattered space. It’s extremely dangerous. A single misstep could see you swept into the void, leaving no remains behind.”

Hearing that, Shen Ruyan, who had just been excited, was instantly doused with cold water. Her expression turned solemn as she looked at Jiang Wang, waiting for his decision.

Jiang Wang remained unfazed when he heard about the ancient ferocious beasts guarding it, but his expression turned serious the moment Meng Man mentioned shattered space.

“The land where the Nine Immortal Lotus grows is full of danger and can’t be entered lightly. Is there no other way to break through the limits of the physical body?” He looked at Meng Man, his eyes asking the question. These natives specialized in physical cultivation—surely they had other methods?

However, reality disappointed him.

Meng Man shook his head and said solemnly, “Our tribe has focused on physical cultivation for nearly a thousand years, but not a single prodigy has managed to reach complete perfection of the body. As for breaking the limit, the only method I’ve heard of is the Nine Immortal Lotus.”

Jiang Wang nodded silently. Shen Ruyan tried to persuade him, “Let’s not rush into this. We can return to the Immortal Domain and search for another method. The risks of entering shattered space are simply too high.”

Hearing this, Jiang Wang nodded, indicating he agreed.

The three left the cave and returned to the Meng tribe’s village. By then, night had fallen, and Meng Man invited them to stay the night. The two naturally agreed.

Dinner was, as usual, stewed meat from an ancient ferocious beast, rich in potent blood Qi. The young ones of the Meng tribe devoured it ravenously.

Jiang Wang ate a small portion before heading to the residence arranged by Meng Man. Shen Ruyan also returned to her own lodging after eating. Glancing at Jiang Wang, she saw him sitting cross-legged in meditation and felt relieved.

Back in her room, she too sat cross-legged, refining the sword intent circulating within her. Her consciousness gradually sank into her cultivation, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

At dawn the next day, Shen Ruyan emerged from meditation. The abundant sword intent in her body had been mostly absorbed, and her strength had grown even stronger. Now, she exuded a sharp sword aura, like an unsheathed blade—she was already showing the bearing of a Little Sword Immortal.

She let out a breath and stepped out of her room. As she casually glanced to the side, she saw the door to the adjacent room tightly shut. Her heart sank. She quickly peeked inside—no one was there!

A sense of dread filled her. She immediately sought out Meng Man to ask where Jiang Wang had gone. But Meng Man avoided answering directly and couldn’t give a straight explanation.

Seeing his hesitant and evasive manner, Shen Ruyan completely lost her patience and asked coldly, “Just tell me—did he go to find the Nine Immortal Lotus?”

Realizing she had already guessed the truth, Meng Man could no longer hide it. He sighed and nodded, “Brother Jiang specifically asked me not to tell you. He didn’t want you to take such a risk.”

Shen Ruyan ignored his words entirely and demanded coldly, “Where is the Nine Immortal Lotus located? Just point me in the right direction.”

“This…” Meng Man looked troubled.

Her eyes sharpened, and the immortal sword in her hand was already pressed against his neck. Her tone turned icy. “Tell me, and nothing will happen. But if you don’t, and he doesn’t come back, I’ll kill you.”

Feeling the chilling edge of the sword against his throat and seeing the cold expression in her eyes, Meng Man didn’t dare resist. He could only raise his hand and point out the direction.

Only after Shen Ruyan left did cold sweat soak his back.

Watching the direction she had gone, Meng Man couldn’t help but mutter, “I thought only Brother Jiang was invincible… turns out this woman is terrifying too.”

When that immortal sword was at his neck, he had a feeling that if he made even the slightest wrong move or stayed silent for a second too long, Shen Ruyan would’ve decapitated him without hesitation.

“Forget it… everyone has their own fate. Whether they can come back from that shattered space will depend on their fortune.” Meng Man shook his head and sighed, then led the Meng tribesmen out to hunt ancient ferocious beasts.

On the other side, Jiang Wang had set out during the night and arrived at the place Meng Man described—the land where the Nine Immortal Lotus grew—by morning.

Once there, he found that all kinds of rare spirit herbs and mystical medicines grew abundantly.

“No wonder it’s called a treasured land! Just these herbs alone would drive countless geniuses mad with envy!” he thought, amazed. Breathing in the rich spiritual Qi made his entire body feel invigorated.

But these mystical herbs were not his goal. He stepped deeper into the treasured land.

“Hiss!” The further he went, the more shocked he became.

“That’s Soul Nourishing Grass! It’s an incredibly valuable herb that greatly strengthens the divine soul—extremely rare in the Immortal Domain!”

As he gazed at the rows of spirit herbs and treasures, Jiang Wang’s eyes burned with excitement. Even the Nine Yang Mystic Herb that Ye Fan had long dreamed of could be seen growing in vast patches.

“No wonder this is a relic of the ancient era—the depth of its heritage is astonishing!” he exclaimed, walking deeper inside.

He didn’t know how long he had walked before finally stopping. His once amazed expression grew solemn. At his feet lay a broken spear tip.

He bent down, picked it up, and carefully examined it. “This is forged from Immortal Iron… who could have broken this spear?”

Staring at the corroded weapon in his hand, Jiang Wang was inwardly shocked. The broken spear was made of immortal-grade metal and still retained traces of powerful spear intent. If he wasn’t mistaken, before it was broken, this spear was at least a sacred weapon.

A sacred weapon! Even the Jiang Clan only had one, which was usually kept enshrined.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Wang put away the broken spear and was about to move on when he suddenly stopped. The next moment, he leapt to the side with explosive speed.

A massive shadow descended, accompanied by a terrifying aura and a deep, thunderous roar.
