A long, long time ago, before Jiang Renchang even began to practice, he had already clearly understood a truth.

That is, human beings have limits, and there are limits to strength.

As a cultivator who is not very talented.

No matter how many adventures he has, no matter how many resources he has, and no matter how much effort he puts in, it will be difficult for him to become one of those top powerhouses in the end.

Not to mention that he doesn't have many adventures himself, he is nostalgic for the world, and he doesn't work hard in cultivation.

So much so that it took decades, and in the end it was just a high-level mage.

Even the state of Dzogchen has not been reached.

Not to mention the Saint Master Realm above the mage.

It was a realm that he would almost never touch in his life.

But even so, Jiang Renchang is still thriving in the cultivation world.

and even ended up becoming the Supreme Elder of the King Kong Gate to guard a sect.

There is actually only one secret to this, and that is to judge the situation.

You must admit defeat when you should lose, and you must bow your head when you should bow your head.

Even if you will lose face and self-esteem.

Even if it will be so humble that passers-by will feel ashamed.

Jiang Renchang didn't care.

After all, only by living can we see more scenery in this world.

Those who are hard, tenacious, and inflexible, don't know how many have died in the past years.

There are many talents who are stronger than him and whose strength is higher than him, but in the end, they all go before him and turn into a piece of loess.

Jiang Renchang never wanted such a thing to happen to him.

Fortunately, his luck has been good all along.

He switched to other people's disciples several times, and bowed down several times, which finally made him survive.

Wait until most of those Holy Sects migrate away.

Wait until those mages are successfully and frantically chasing after the opportunity to break through the realm is gone.

As a high-level mage, he actually became one of the strongest people in the world.

It is said that there are no tigers in the mountains, and it is better for the monkey to be called the king.

All in all, there were no oppressors above his head, and his life suddenly became easier.

Eat, drink and have fun all day long, and practice a few times when you have nothing to do.

If such days can continue forever, Jiang Renchang feels that it is not unacceptable.

Even if a high-level mage can't live forever, he is destined to usher in the end of his life.

Jiang Renchang also felt that he should be able to die laughing at that time.

However, the gradual approach of the end of the law era finally shattered his last illusion.

Even if he was happy to death, Jiang Renchang didn't want to fall down as a mortal with grievances.

But if the world becomes a place of absolute spirits, he will no longer have the opportunity to replenish his spiritual power, and he is destined to continue to decline, fall into the realm, and finally become an ordinary mortal, ushering in the death of life.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Jiang Renchang.

It's easy to solve this problem.

He could completely learn from some desperate disciples in the sect and take the initiative to kill himself.

But for so many years, he has been thinking about surviving in the world, but when he is about to kill himself, how can he do it?

So he was forced to embark on the same path of exploring the relics of his predecessors.

I thought that I didn't want to be able to break through to a higher realm, but at least I could maintain my current strength until death came.

However, what people never expected was that a long-lost expedition to ruins would make such a big joke with him.

He didn't get the treasure, but he did survive, even 1,300 years later.

This soul struggle that has lasted for more than a thousand years, he really doesn't know how he survived.

But now that he has finally escaped from the maddening boundless darkness and finally gained a chance to be reborn, he has not yet seen how the outside world is developing, how can he usher in his own apoption so easily.

So—

"Poof!"

With a crisp sound, Jiang Renchang decisively knelt down and begged Su Mo for mercy:

"Before, it was my lard that blinded me and treated Gao Xiu with disrespect, but allow me to defend myself, after all, I have been struggling for too long.

For 1,300 years, I lived in fear of Akamatsu, and I resisted him at all times, preventing him from devouring me.

Although I have been doing a good job for many years, it is because of this that I have the deepest understanding of the power of Akamatsu.

It was by no means an opponent I could resist, and even at the level of my soul that I was most sure of, after holding out for so many years, I was about to reach the end of my rope.

Not to mention that now that he has come out of the statue and obtained a real entity, once he actually fights, I will never be his opponent.

Is it really shameful to surrender in the face of such an opponent who is impossible to defeat?

Just like many dynastic changes in history, do ordinary people really have the strength to resist in the face of changes in state power? ”

"Other than that, I think I still have a certain existential value, especially for you.

I've been through a lot in my long life.

I have traveled all over the world, I have also searched for secrets, and I have even been in charge of a sect.

Maybe those experiences are nothing, but at least they prove that I'm definitely not a waste.

Especially in such an era when the aura has just been revived, although my current strength has not been completely restored.

However, as a cultivator who has mastered many secret techniques and has reached the high-level mage realm, even if he is used to act as a lowest-level thug, he will definitely be a qualified combat power.

I hope you can think about these more, and accept me this time, and I will definitely give you more than 10,000 times the reward in the future! ”

Jiang Renchang's words fell, and the cave fell into unprecedented silence.

Several people probably never thought that Jiang Renchang's switch would be so easy, and they didn't care about the so-called face and dignity at all.

And his words seemed quite sincere, unmistakably breaking his own psychology.

But whether it is Xu Zongqi or Liang Pingfeng, they all have a trace of suspicion about him.

Liang Pingfeng glanced at Jiang Renchang and said to Su Mo:

"While it may be a bit inappropriate for me to say this, I honestly think that accepting this guy was not a wise decision.

Not to mention the others, since he has lived for thousands of years, even if he is a dog, he should have awakened enough wisdom to definitely not behave so humbly as he is now, this must be a disguise to deal with the crisis.

Moreover, although he has lost his strength now, his original realm is still there, and it only takes enough time to achieve it if he recovers.

Once he became a high-level mage, there were very few people in this world who could subdue him.

If something happens in the middle and causes him to escape, it is hard to imagine what a huge disaster it will bring to this world.

We can't afford it. ”

Xu Zongqi nodded solemnly, expressing his agreement with Liang Pingfeng's opinion.

Su Mo looked at Jiang Renchang and said:

"You see, my companions have said so, do you have any better advice?"

Jiang Renchang's face froze slightly, and he racked his brains and began to think about a strategy to deal with it.

Su Mo's right hand flashed with a dazzling red light.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Renchang's scalp tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"I can divide a part of my true spirit into your hands!!"

Hearing this, even Xu Zongqi and Liang Pingfeng also changed their faces slightly.

The true spirit is the source of the soul and the foundation of the practitioner.

The number of true spirits not only determines the strength of the soul, but also determines whether it can break through in the future.

At the same time, this is also the key to whether you can awaken the memories of life after being transformed into a monster.

Without a true spirit, even if you become a monster, you can only be muddy for the rest of your life.

As a normal cultivator, even if a part of the true spirit is missing, the consequences are very serious.

Not only will the difficulty of breaking through the realm increase dozens of times, but one's own cultivation will also become more sluggish.

And if someone grasps the true spirit of others, even if they casually apply a curse, they can cause the other party to be hit unimaginably hard, and even die on the spot.

Handing over a part of the true spirit is equivalent to handing over one's own life and even the path of advancement in the future.

This kind of thing cannot be forced by outsiders unless it is voluntary, because the existence of the true spirit is far more solid and secret than imagined. It can be seen that Jiang Renchang's determination is so great that Xu Zongqi and Liang Pingfeng can't oppose it if they want to.

No one can refuse the loyal service of a high-ranking mage.

Not to mention that this mage still has a secret technique and many secrets that were once a great sect.

Even if it was them, standing in Su Mo's position, they would never be able to refuse.

However, in the eyes of Xu Zongqi and Liang Pingfeng, this very tempting proposal, Su Mo showed a lack of interest.

He said in a light tone:

"You keep the true spirit or something, because you still have to recover your strength, the lack of the true spirit will only form a serious obstacle to your recovery, and my subordinates don't need the weak, of course, I'm not worried that you will surpass me, I am always waiting for your challenge and betrayal."

Hearing this, Xu Zongqi and Liang Pingfeng couldn't help but change color slightly.

Even Jiang Renchang had a look of surprise on his face.

Su Mo continued:

"I didn't spare your life because of what you just begged for, or because I needed some thugs, but because the knowledge and experience in your mind, those memories that were ordinary thousands of years ago, are more important to me than you are.

When I've digested all of that stuff and you don't offer me any other value, I'll kill you without hesitation. ”

"I will live up to your high expectations."

Jiang Renchang buried his head deeply.

Su Mo saw this scene, but he was not worried that the other party would betray.

Because after deciding to accept the other party, he had already turned into a spiritual seed and planted into the other party's spiritual sea.

As long as the opponent's strength fails to surpass him, it is impossible to hide the past from what he thinks.

Even if the other party has the slightest malice towards the people around him, he can sense it in time, so that with a "bang", the seeds will be detonated and the entire big watermelon will be blown up.

Of course, there is no need to explain these to Jiang Renchang.

The greatest value of his person is what he just said about memory.

After killing Jiang Renchang, only some memory fragments will appear, and searching for memory fragments will not ensure that the information he wants will be obtained.

A living Gu Xiu is equivalent to a living historical classic, which may provide him with many unexpected clues.

……

Xuanwu District.

Ziyun Square.

The food stalls in the night market are lined up.

Many young people in shorts and undershirts gathered in twos and threes to eat steaming lobster and barbecue with cold beer that had just been brought out.

The cacophony of sounds, mixed with incandescent lights, makes people feel like it's daytime.

In the corner of the barbecue stand, a table sits on uneven stone tiles.

The table is filled with everything from bubbling garlic vermicelli oysters to aromatic lamb skewers, grilled prawns and bananas, and a bottle of chilled coconut palm coconut water.

But the young man in a white T-shirt sitting at the table was indifferent to the food on the table.

His face was extremely pale, and his eyes were even more gloomy and terrifying, and even the waiter who came to deliver the food was terrified.

When all the dishes were ready, Nie Jiaotian picked up a mutton skewer, and while eating it carefully, he took out his mobile phone and pressed a number that had only been saved for a short time.

It didn't take long for the other side of the phone to connect, and the rather relaxed voice of Sun Hongli, the president of the Cult of Cultivators, came from inside:

"Calling me so late, is there anything important for Nie Huishou?"

Nie Jitian didn't bother to pick up the ordinary words to deal with, and asked directly:

"President Sun's god-making plan is about to be held, but it seems that there are still some materials missing, right?"

When Sun Hongli heard this, his voice suddenly became depressed:

"Where did you hear that?"

"You don't care where I heard it, as the saying goes, if people don't know, unless you don't do it, you think you're hiding it well, but your little actions can't hide it from me at all, don't forget, I'm from the path of extreme desire, what tricks haven't I seen?"

After a moment of silence, Sun Hongli asked:

"What do you want?"

"Chairman Sun doesn't need to be so vigilant, since I am willing to talk to you about this matter, it means that I have no intention of using this to blackmail.

What's more, we just made a successful deal not so long ago, and I never go wrong with my allies, only the icing on the cake.

And now, I bring a new deal, but I wonder if Chairman Sun has the courage to make it? ”

"How?"

"The deal is simple, and I provide you with the resources you need to make your project a success.

But after success, I need you to do me a favor. ”

"What's the busy?"

"Help me kill three people."

"Which three?"

"Su Mo, Liang Pingfeng, Xu Zongqi."

"A strong man suspected of being a mage, the supreme leader of a local civil security bureau, and the head of a peaceful house...... How do you think I can handle so many people at once?! ”

"If you can't even take these three, what's the point of your god-making plan?"

"Nope! Even if the plan succeeds, it will never be easy to deal with them! ”

"Rest assured, I can help from this."

"Let me think about it."

"You don't have that much time, if you don't agree here, then I'll go find someone else right away.

Even if those resources are given to other people, they can have an unimaginably huge effect.

I had to find someone worth investing in. ”

“…… This deal, I agreed! ”

"It's worthy of President Sun, don't worry, things are definitely not as difficult as you imagined, and when you know the help I have prepared for you, you will only feel that this deal has taken a big advantage."

"I hope so, when will you give me those resources?"

"It's already on the way, it's almost there."

"You already knew I was going to say yes?"

"I won't refuse anyway."

Nie Jitian raised his wine glass and said from afar:

"Good luck, cheers."
