51-60
"I won't disturb Senior Brother any longer," Jiang Lan said softly.
Then, he turned around and left.
He didn't know who he was.
However, based on the other party's talent and ability, it couldn't have been comfortable for him to be seen in a sorry state.
Therefore, Jiang Lan had no intention of staying.
He didn't pay attention to the senior brother's wet clothes either.
He came here to improve his cultivation, not to make enemies.
However, before he left, he planned to sign in.
Because it was not the Great Dao, he could not constantly sign in here.
That was why the Ninth Summit was his blessed land.
However, it had been so long since he had signed in. Perhaps he could obtain something good.
The gift of the Great Dao could be accumulated.
As for whether it was true or not, Jiang Lan felt that he would know after trying.
"System, sign in at the Peaceful Void Lake."
[Ding!]
[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the gift of the Great Dao. You have obtained the Sage Chapter: The Unmoved Sage.]
[The Unmoved Sage: There is no clear boundary between partiality and impartiality. A sage devoid of feelings deals with the people as the dogs of grass are dealt with.]
The Unmoved Sage?
Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment after signing in.
Then, he realized that there was a book in his mind.
The book floated in his mind like a calm lake.
The moment he saw the book, he felt like he could forget everything.
Grace. Hatred. Love. Anger.
Nothing could appear in this book.
Forgetting his feelings meant that he would be impartial. He would not be moved or disturbed by his emotions.
"This…"
Jiang Lan looked at the Sage Chapter and felt that it was not inferior to the Daoist Scripture at all.
But learning this was equivalent to abandoning his seven emotions and six desires.
Although he pursued being flexible and tolerant like water, it did not mean that he had to give up his feelings.
In the end, he did not pay much attention to the Sage Chapter.
This did not suit him.
Although it was indeed impressive, it was only useful as a reference. It had no direct cultivation value.
He knew himself well enough. He was not one who could be a sage devoid of emotions.
This went against his original intention. He did not want anything that did not go with it.
Jiang Lan then left the Peaceful Void Lake and headed outside.
After passing through the fog, he would probably reach the straw hut from before.
Gu Qi watched Jiang Lan leave. Although he really wanted to ask who he was, there was no hurry.
He would definitely know once he went out.
Then, he looked at his wet clothes.
He hesitated, but didn't try to cover it up.
Instead, he walked out.
…
There were many people watching outside the thatched house.
Now, the sound of the waves had disappeared.
They really wanted to know who would come out first.
Usually, whoever came first was the one who failed.
"It's without a doubt that the senior brother from the First Summit will definitely win."
"I also think that the senior brother of the First Summit and the junior brother of the Ninth Summit are not on the same level."
"Yes, the junior brother from the Ninth Summit will definitely head out first."
Ta!
Ta!
Footsteps came from behind the thatched house.
They saw a figure walking out.
"He's out, he's out."
"Whoever appears first is the loser. By the looks of it, he should be a disciple of the Ninth Summit."
"Yes, from the looks of it, he's indeed a disciple of the Ninth Summit."
"We can't be sure who it is until the last moment. And there are more than two people at the lake."
Everyone was looking at that figure. They were all very curious as to who he was.
After all, some people had secretly made bets.
The figure became clearer.
Jiang Lan walked out of the fog and appeared beside the straw hut.
There was an uproar after Jiang Lan appeared.
"Didn't I say that it will be the junior brother of the Ninth Summit? The senior brother of the First Summit will definitely win."
"Looks like this junior brother is the one who lost. However, you can't blame him. After all, the First Summit's senior brother is too outstanding."
"That's right. Although the junior brother of the Ninth Summit has an extraordinary temperament, how can the senior brother of the First Summit be compared to this person?"
"Even though he lost, it was still an honorable defeat. The senior brother of the First Summit is still the best."
"He's completely defeated. However, they're technically from two different worlds. There's nothing else to say about that."
Jiang Lan didn't pay any attention to these people. He walked up to the senior and bowed respectfully.
"Thank you for your help, Senior."
"Go back. Your Master has been waiting for a long time." The Ancient Wine Daoist looked at Jiang Lan and said.
"Yes," Jiang Lan replied.
Then, he turned around and left.
It was time to go back and enter seclusion. His gains this time were not small.
The only pity was that the Peaceful Void Lake was not on the Great Dao.
He could not sign in again.
He had yet to encounter a second path of the Great Dao.
Jiang Lan left, but the others didn't.
"Alright, the one who failed has left. The senior brother from the First Summit should be coming out, right?"
"Let's ask Senior Brother how he did it."
"Senior Brother might not say it. But if he does, we will benefit greatly."
"But it's good to see Senior Brother's heroic bearing."
"Look, he's coming out."
At this moment, all of them looked behind the straw hut.
At this moment, a figure walked out.
All of them were looking forward to seeing the victor.
The Ancient Wine Daoist drank his wine and shook his head.
He remained quiet.
Ta!
Ta!
The footsteps approached.
He walked out of the fog step by step.
His figure slowly became clearer.
As for those who were waiting for the First Summit's senior brother, their expressions changed from anticipation to odd.
From odd to doubt.
Then, their expressions went from doubt to shock.
They saw that the person who had walked out was indeed the senior brother of the First Summit.
But what shocked them was that this senior brother…
His entire body…
It was wet.What did it mean if he was wet?
This meant that he had fallen into the lake.
What did it mean if the First Summit's senior brother had fallen into the water?
This meant that the person who had won was not the First Summit's senior brother at all.
It was the junior brother of the Ninth Summit whom they had been previously talking about.
The first to emerge was not the loser, but the winner.
Everyone looked at Gu Qi and lost the ability to speak for a moment.
At this moment, they had no idea how to react.
This was different from what they had expected.
Completely different.
Everything that had happened had gone against what they had thought.
But…
But there was no way for them to refute it.
The group of disciples who had originally intended to go forward to inquire about the insights the senior brother got from the victory had ashen expressions.
The person who said that the junior brother of the Ninth Summit should be proud despite his defeat did not dare to say another word.
He was afraid that she would embarrass himself again.
Saying that the two were not on the same level was simply ignorant.
Gu Qi did not stay. He left the Peaceful Void Lake immediately.
He had lost.
He would not deny it.
After Gu Qi left.
A voice suddenly came from the quiet crowd.
"So, the Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit is the winner? The real loser is the Senior Brother from the First Summit? "
"Impossible. How is this possible? There's no reason how this could happen."
"But the truth is right here. You have to believe it.
"The person who truly broke through is the Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit."
"However, even if he is exceptional in this aspect, his talent is still limited."
"But the Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit had still won."
"…"
Feng Yixiao watched all of this with a smile, before disappearing from where he stood.
…
Jiang Lan headed towards the Ninth Summit.
He had returned on his sword.
This was a rare opportunity for him to ride on his sword.
His master would call him childish if he rode on the sword in the Ninth Summit.
To be honest, riding and traveling on a sword was indeed very cool.
However, he had long passed the age of being childish.
When he had the chance to go out, he would use all his cultivation to fly on his sword.
As for when he would go out, normally speaking, he would have to wait until the day he transcended the tribulation and became an immortal.
It was a little far, but he was slowly closing the distance.
Jiang Lan looked ahead calmly. It wouldn't be long before he reached the Ninth Summit.
Unless he ran into another accident and took a detour.
However, before he passed by the Third Summit, Jiang Lan suddenly stopped.
There was a middle-aged man standing in front of him.
The other party was very strong.
This was Jiang Lan's first instinct when he saw this person.
"Why is the leader of the First Summit here?"
Jiang Lan naturally recognized this person. Although he had not seen the Summit Leaders of the various summits face-to-face yet, it did not mean that he did not know what they looked like in person.
As a disciple of Kunlun, if he did not know how any of the Summit Leaders looked like.
It would be very easy for him to offend the wrong people.
Jiang Lan didn't take the initiative to greet him. Instead, he took a detour with a respectful expression.
However, just as he took a detour, the First Summit Leader Feng Yixiao appeared in front of him again.
"What's the matter, Martial Uncle?"
Jiang Lan didn't take a detour this time and asked directly.
The other party was obviously looking for him.
However, Jiang Lan was surprised by the other party's words.
"How about coming to my First Summit?"
This was what Jiang Lan heard.
It had surprised him.
"I don't understand what you mean, Martial Uncle."
Jiang Lan nodded.
He had never expected the First Summit Leader to invite him to the First Summit.
"You're not bad. Coming to the First Summit is better than staying in the Ninth Summit. Even if the Ninth Summit gave all its resources to you, it would still be insufficient in helping you become an immortal. However, my First Summit is able to do so. You are worthy of my nurturing." Feng Yixiao looked at Jiang Lan and calmly spoke.
Jiang Lan lowered his head and said softly,
"Martial Uncle, you flatter me. But I have already acknowledged my master. "
"As long as you nod your head, I can help you with the other things." Feng Yixiao seemed to have no intention of joking.
Jiang Lan shook his head.
"Thank you, Martial Uncle, but I don't intend to leave the Ninth Summit."
"Why?" Feng Yixiao asked.
If one didn't become an immortal, one was nothing in the Grand Desolate World.
"Because Master treats me as his personal disciple," Jiang Lan said calmly.
Although he was now the eldest personal disciple, he was not so at the beginning.
"Oh?" Feng Yixiao looked at Jiang Lan.
"Martial Uncle, you have many disciples. Perhaps you won't feel anything if you had one more or one less disciple. But Master only has me. A teacher for a day, a father for life," Jiang Lan lowered his head and said calmly.
Feng Yixiao gave Jiang Lan a deep look before disappearing on the spot.
"Farewell, Martial Uncle," Jiang Lan said respectfully.
After a moment, he headed towards the Ninth Summit.
"This is too dangerous. The First Summit Leader has been drawn out just by staying in the Peaceful Void Lake for a while. It seems like I have to figure out the situation before I do anything in the future. I shouldn't draw the attention of everyone in Kunlun.. "
Jiang Lan was on guard.
He had initially thought that the incident at the Peaceful Void Lake was not a big problem.
However, he was not sure what the First Summit Leader meant.
There was no way to tell if what he said was real or fake.
Except…
Jiang Lan was telling the truth himself.
It was impossible for him to leave the Ninth Summit.
There was nothing bad about the Ninth Summit and his master was doing his best for him.
As the eldest personal disciple, he might become the Ninth Summit's Leader in the future and guard the entrance to the Netherworld.
He had long realized this.
As for becoming an immortal.
He could definitely achieve immortality.
"However, I need to become stronger now. As much as possible."
He did not know what this Martial Uncle was like. It would be too dangerous for him if he turned angry and wanted to attack him.
That was why if there was no need for him to do so, it would be best if he did not leave the Ninth Summit for the time being.
Master."
At the peak of the Ninth Summit, Jiang Lan handed over some immortal fruits.
These were fruits that had been planted on the Ninth Summit.
Jiang Lan was the one who took care of them.
It didn't take much time and he would occasionally tend to them.
Initially, he was going to buy wine for his master.
However, the appearance of the First Summit Leader disrupted his plan.
For safety reasons, he returned to the Ninth Summit as soon as possible and did not go to the old inn to buy wine.
Therefore, he could only use immortal fruits to replace them.
"Are you confident in advancing to the Golden Core stage?"
Mo Zhengdong took over the fruits and asked Jiang Lan.
Three months.
Jiang Lan lasted for three whole months. Mo Zhengdong had initially thought that his disciple would at most stay for one month.
He did not expect his disciple to stay in the Peaceful Void Lake for three months.
This disciple of him had given him surprises after surprises.
"I will give it a try," Jiang Lan replied.
No one could guarantee anything regarding cultivation.
"Then let's give it a try." Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan.
He did not say much.
Jiang Lan was an opinionated person and knew what he was doing.
As his master, he had said and done everything he could.
Therefore, the rest would depend on Jiang Lan himself.
Whether or not he could break through to the Golden Core realm in these two years was entirely up to himself.
Jiang Lan wanted to go back and cultivate, but he still asked curiously;
"Master, will my title change again after staying in the Ninth Summit for a hundred years?"
"You want to be the Summit Leader?" Mo Zhengdong smiled at Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan :"…"
He wanted to prevent what happened thirty years ago from happening.
The threshold of a hundred years was already very close. He did not want to be called by his master to buy wine and be filial to him.
He should do such things himself.
…
Jiang Lan left the peak of the Ninth Summit and headed towards the Netherworld Cave.
He needed to go back and cultivate.
He was sure that he did not have to care too much about reaching the hundred years mark.
Soon, he returned to the entrance of the netherworld. However, this time, he discovered that the original three people had become two.
Ao Longyu had left at some point.
The other two were still cultivating.
They were still using the very initial array formation.
This time, Jiang Lan felt that something was off.
But it was very weak.
It was likely that as time passed, the array formation also needed to change.
The terrain of the Ninth Summit was not fixed.
In particular, the aura of the Netherworld would have quite a bit of influence on it.
Jiang Lan's steps were light, not disturbing their cultivation.
However, the other party probably wouldn't stay for too long.
The past few months had consumed a great deal of their energy, and they more or less had some Netherworld aura on them.
If they were too anxious to breakthrough, it would backfire on them instead.
What surprised Jiang Lan was that when he had just passed by the array formation.
The two of them opened their eyes.
"Junior brother is back?" Jing Ting immediately asked Jiang Lan to stay.
"Sorry for disturbing Senior Brother." Jiang Lan lowered his head apologetically.
"No, it's just because we were looking out for Junior Brother." Jing Ting stood up.
Mu Xiu also stood up.
They walked up to Jiang Lan and took out a bottle of pills.
"There are some Golden Core Stabilizing Pills here that can be used to help you form your Golden Core. This can be considered a gift from Senior Sister Ao and the two of us. We wanted to thank Junior Brother for your reminder. It gave us a fair bit of fortuitous opportunities. Senior Sister Ao has also completed her cultivation ahead of time because of this. She's now proceeding to her next step of cultivation. "
Jiang Lan looked at the bottle of pills and took it.
The other party received a fortuitous opportunity because of him. The pills could be considered a return gift.
They owed each other nothing.
"Then I won't disturb Senior Brother any further."
After the other party nodded, Jiang Lan turned around and entered the Netherworld Cave.
He wanted to enter and cultivate, making his essence soul become stronger.
Although he had the Peaceful Void Lake's help, he still needed some time before he could advance to the mid-stage Essence Soul realm.
However, the time to do so was greatly reduced.
In addition, with his Registration System, the time and effort he needed to advance to the mid-stage Essence Soul realm would be theoretically reduced to the maximum.
When he returned to the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan noticed that the Netherworld Aura here seemed to be heavier than before.
"Is the eruption that occurs every hundred years coming?"
The entrance to the Netherworld required people to guard. Not only was there a passageway here, but the Netherworld Aura would also erupt once every 100 years.
Sometimes, there would even be some netherworld creatures running out.
They were just weak creatures.
And would not affect the outside world much.
"Then it should be time for the First Summit to receive their fortuitous opportunity again."
The First Summit should have an entrance to the Heavenly Realm.
It also erupted once every hundred years.
However, Jiang Lan wasn't envious because the Netherworld Aura could also greatly increase his cultivation.
However, it would still depend on whether his master would allow him to go near the entrance and cultivate when the time came.
"The vegetative egg has also recovered."
Seeing that the vegetative egg had returned to normal.
Jiang Lan cast another time of Rainbow Auspicious Clouds.
He still had that uncomfortable feeling when he cast the spell on the egg.
Then, he started cultivating.
During this cultivation session, Jiang Lan felt a sense of solidity.
It was as if his body contained countless energies that were helping him improve his essence soul.
Even the effect of consuming a pill meant for one at the Essence Soul realm was incomparable to what he was feeling now.
Only when he possessed the Daoist Scripture did he have a similar feeling.
In this state, Jiang Lan's cultivation speed was much faster.
In fact, he didn't even need to eat pills which would help raise his cultivation base.
Jiang Lan remained silent, continuously deepening his cultivation.
He did not care about what was happening outside.
Moreover, he was currently supposed to be in the crucial period of advancing to the Golden Core Realm.
Not to mention the two people at the entrance of the Netherworld, even his master would not arrange anything for him to do in fear of disturbing him.
At the entrance to the Netherworld Cave, Mu Xiu looked at the entrance.
"It's been three months. I wonder when this Junior Brother will come out."
Yes, three months had passed since Jiang Lan entered the Netherworld Cave to cultivate.
And today was the day they would leave.
Their cultivation here had been completed.
Staying any longer would not only bring them no benefits, it would also bring them danger.
"Senior Brother, are you still planning to wait?" Mu Xiu asked Jing Ting.
Jing Ting wanted to stay because of the issue with the array formation.
They were very curious as to whether Jiang Lan had mastered Rainbow Auspicious Clouds.
If possible, they hoped that he could use it on them once.
After all, their next step of cultivation was more or less related to luck.
It was an opportunity not to be missed.
However, since the other party didn't come out, they couldn't waste too much time waiting either.
If they missed their next cultivation opportunity, it would be very difficult for them to chance upon it again.
Ao Longyu was already far ahead. In a few more years, she should be able to break through to the Essence Soul realm.
Once she stepped into the Essence Soul realm, she would be close to the immortal path.
"I'll wait another three days."
Jing Ting looked at the hole and said, "Three days is my limit."
"Then I won't accompany Senior Brother. I'm going to chase after Senior Sister Ao. I hope Senior Brother can wait until the end." Mu Xiu turned and left after saying that.
Three days were very important to them.
One step ahead meant a constant lead ahead of the others.
Waiting for Jiang Lan to come out was too risky a move.
He hadn't even come out in three months. It would be very difficult for him to come out within the next three days.
Furthermore, one had to bet on the fact that Jiang Lan knew the spell Rainbow Auspicious Clouds.
Even if the other party knew how to use it, he would have to be willing to use it.
Thus, it could be said to be almost impossible for Jiang Lan to cast Rainbow Auspicious Clouds on them.
Jing Ting sent Mu Xiu away with his gaze.
While he continued to wait.
Three days. Just three more days.
…
Jiang Lan opened his eyes and discovered that he had almost digested everything.
This surprised him.
He was only a step away from the mid-stage Essence Soul Realm after making a trip to the Peaceful Void Lake.
Jiang Lan took out the Divine Feather Pill.
Since he was only one step away from the mid-stage Essence Soul Realm, he would directly advance before leaving.
After taking the pill, Jiang Lan began to attempt to advance.
He could clearly feel that his essence soul was becoming pure and solid.
He then calmed his mind.
Three days passed in a flash.
Jiang Lan, who had his eyes closed, felt the surroundings turn from blurry to clear.
From darkness to light.
When he looked into his body, he seemed to be able to see his insides more clearly.
Any problem within his body could be detected immediately.
His mind was clear and he had a stronger mental resistance.
If a heart demon were to invade his mind, it would now be much easier for him to resist it.
He had successfully advanced to the mid-stage Essence Soul Realm.
"Hu!"
Jiang Lan let out a sigh of relief.
He opened his eyes and looked at his hands.
"Advancing to the mid-stage Essence Soul realm in three months is somewhat unexpected. However, a fortuitous opportunity like the Peaceful Void Lake is rare and will only come by once. It's probably because I had managed to take the last step out without falling into the lake."
It was a form of sublimation.
That was why his essence soul had advanced so quickly.
If he was really only at the Golden Core or Foundation Establishment realm, he would definitely not have received the same benefit.
Unfortunately, this sort of sublimation was even more difficult than advancing.
After getting up, Jiang Lan did not adjust his cultivation to the Golden Core Realm.
It was still not time for him to do so.
However, it was time to clean up the hall.
After casting Rainbow Auspicious Clouds on the vegetative egg once, Jiang Lan planned to leave.
However, the moment he had turned around, he instantly entered a state of comprehension.
He felt as if his soul had been blessed.
Now, he understood the workings and mysteries of luck.
Luck was like fate.
It was amazing and hard to describe with words.
Furthermore, he could sense that he could not touch on such things often.
Doing so was not beneficial to him.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Master said that it's similar to a divine power but not fully a divine power. Luck originates from the heavens and earth. Even if it can be used and manipulated a little, it cannot be touched on too much. "
Then, Jiang Lan walked out.
As for the vegetative egg, Jiang Lan didn't expect it to hatch.
When he had time, he would water some spiritual liquid and raise it as a plant.
Fortunately, there was no need to bathe it in the sun.
…
Jing Ting looked at the sky, then at the entrance to the netherworld.
Sigh.
He let out a soft sigh.
In the end, he didn't manage to meet Jiang Lan.
Three days had passed, and he could not stay any longer.
He had to catch up.
Everyone makes different choices. He merely made the wrong bet.
Fortunately, it was still a loss he could tolerate.
But just as Jing Ting had just turned to leave.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps.
Footsteps that came from the entrance to the Netherworld.
Jiang Lan had just walked out of the Netherworld Cave. He planned to read some books while cleaning up the place. He would also take some pills to lay a more solid foundation for his cultivation.
Doing so would not affect his cultivation, his understanding of spells as well as his knowledge in other aspects.
Of course, his energy was limited, so he wouldn't learn everything.
It was impossible for him to know everything.
Currently, he had still yet to receive something that encompassed everything from signing in.
This was except the Daoist Scripture that had partially managed to do so.
Right now, the most important thing was to increase his cultivation. Only by achieving immortality could one have a certain degree of self-preservation ability in the Grand Desolate World.
In the vast Grand Desolate World, immortals, devils, gods, and Buddhas were everywhere.
If he didn't become an immortal, he would feel danger even if he was just a bit further away from Kunlun.
"Eh, Senior Brother?"
After exiting the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan discovered that there was only one person left out of the original three.
Furthermore, he seemed to be waiting for him.
"Junior Brother, are you free?"
Jing Ting had something to ask of him, so he would definitely not be arrogant.
"Senior brother, please speak." Jiang Lan didn't know what the other party wanted with him.
"The first time I saw you half a year ago, I saw that you were covered in rainbow clouds. I want to ask if Junior Brother has comprehended the spell Rainbow Auspicious Clouds. If you have mastered it, can you help me and use it on me once?" Jing Ting paused for a moment and immediately said.
"Of course, I won't make you cast it on me for nothing."Jiang Lan looked at Jing Ting.
He then said frankly.
"I've never used it on anyone before. It might not work and there's even a chance something bad might happen."
He had never used it on a living person before.
Hence, he wanted to give it a try too.
It was just nice that this senior brother of his requested him to do so.
It would save him the trouble of using it on himself.
Using it on others might not necessarily be the same as using it on oneself.
When it was used on others, perhaps he would feel something more.
The vegetative egg did make his spirit feel slightly blessed, but that was all.
Furthermore, the vegetative egg could not provide him any feedback.
"Please give it a try." Jing Ting had no choice.
At this point in time, if he were to give up, all his efforts would be for naught.
As he was making a gamble from the start, he was naturally not afraid to gamble again.
Jiang Lan didn't hesitate to use the Rainbow Auspicious Clouds on Jing Ting.
At this moment, a magical cloud descended from the sky.
Jiang Lan could feel an indescribable force supporting Jing Ting.
It was as if Jing Ting had gained some luck.
However, what surprised Jiang Lan was that when he used Rainbow Auspicious Clouds, seven-colored auspicious clouds would also appear on his body.
As Jing Ting's body began to be covered by the rainbow clouds, the rainbow clouds on himself would disappear.
The rainbow clouds seemed to have no effect on himself. It was as if it was just stored and accumulated on his body over a period of time.
"I see."
Jiang Lan instantly understood.
After he learned the Rainbow Auspicious Clouds spell, rainbow auspicious clouds would gather on his body.
The stronger the target, the greater the consumption of the rainbow auspicious clouds on his body.
Using it on a vegetative egg consumed not much rainbow auspicious clouds and hence, he couldn't feel much.
But with Jing Ting's Golden Core cultivation, he would naturally consume a lot of rainbow auspicious clouds.
However, the accumulation of the rainbow auspicious clouds seemed to be useless and had no effect on himself.
This…
This was somewhat useless.
However, he could try to use it on himself.
As for whether it was useful or not, he would know the next time when he had tried it.
However, this spell was indeed not suitable to be used casually.
The slightest problem could easily lead to trouble.
This was especially so if it was used on those with powerful cultivations.
However, using it on the vegetative egg continuously seemed fine.
It did not consume much of his clouds.
Of course, the Rainbow Auspicious Clouds was only an auxiliary spell technique.
Jiang Lan's focus was on cultivation, not on this.
Only with a powerful cultivation could he have unparalleled strength.
This was what he needed to pursue.
If he was not strong enough, he did not want to leave the Ninth Summit.
When he was strong enough, he could go out for a stroll.
But that was still very far away.
Becoming an immortal was a threshold.
"Junior Brother, what is this?" Jing Ting naturally saw the rainbow auspicious clouds on Jiang Lan's body disappearing.
This was the first time he had seen someone cast Rainbow Auspicious Clouds.
"It's the side effect of casting this spell, it seems like it will take quite some time to recover," Jiang Lan said calmly.
Jing Ting lowered his head. He could understand that it was not easy to cast a spell similar to a divine power.
If not for the fact that this junior brother had never used it on anyone before, he would not have had the chance to experience it.
He was considered lucky.
"This is to thank Junior Brother."
Jing Ting took out a cultivation book, a spell technique, and an aqua blue bead.
"This is a book that contains cultivation insights which I had obtained by accident when I was out. Even though it isn't that detailed, there are some records relevant to you." As he spoke, he passed the book of cultivation insights to Jiang Lan.
"This is the Spirit Ape Spell. When Junior Brother is in a terrain with mountains or rivers, it can increase your strength greatly. The last gift will require Junior Brother to research it yourself. I'm the only one in the entire Kunlun with this thing. However, I still don't dare to read its contents up till now."
With that, Jing Ting handed everything over to Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan didn't refuse.
After he accepted it, Jing Ting left.
He was in a hurry.
Jiang Lan watched as Jing Ting left.
These senior brothers and sisters didn't seem to like forming karma.
Or perhaps they didn't like leaving favors unreturned.
Jiang Lan didn't like it either.
Therefore, he would never reject what those people gave him.
By doing so, no one owed each other anything.
Then, he began to clean the hall.
While cleaning up, he would also check his cultivation insights and Spirit Ape Spell.
Jiang Lan read the cultivation insights very carefully. He discovered that these cultivation insights indeed contained insights on the various realms before immortality.
Although it was not much, it was very straightforward.
"It should be a spare copy. However, some important pieces of information have not been removed."
This wasn't the only cultivation insight book Jiang Lan had.
The Ninth Summit's library also had this.
It seemed to be his master's.
By cross-referencing between these two, it gave him quite a lot of revelations.
After putting away the book of cultivation insights, Jiang Lan looked at the Spirit Ape Spell.
Very soon, he realized that this was a movement technique that was compatible with mountains and rivers.
However, even if he learned it, it would not be able to match his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel.
When he was free, he could learn a bit of it to enhance himself and disguise his movement technique.
If he was not free, he could only throw it away.
After all, the Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel was enough for him.
After putting away the Spirit Ape Spell, Jiang Lan turned his attention to the last blue bead.
The other party's introduction of this item was very strange.
This was the only item on Mount Kunlun and he didn't dare to look at it.
"It doesn't look like a Dharma treasure, but it does look like a recording tool."
After checking that there were no problems, Jiang Lan activated the blue bead with his spiritual energy.
In that instant, Jiang Lan felt some mist appear around him.
But this was just from a recording.
It wasn't really mist.
Soon, he saw a few words in the mist.
When he focused on them, his eyebrows turned into a frown.
In front of him were a few large words—"Senior Sister Long Yu's Bathing Scene."
Jiang Lan: "???"
Jiang Lan regained his composure after a moment of surprise.
"I don't think that's what it is."
Although Jiang Lan didn't understand that senior sister of his, he still remembered her calm and cold demeanor.
Although she was kind to some of her junior brothers and sisters, she would never let such things spread.
Even if she did, she would definitely be angry and do her best to recover it.
There was something fishy about this.
Jiang Lan immediately activated the bead to see where the problem lay.
…
Just as Jiang Lan was about to activate the scene.
He discovered that this bead had indeed not been activated by anyone else.
Without much thought, Jiang Lan began to look through the contents.
He was curious about the problem with this thing.
Soon, Jiang Lan saw a lake.
A misty lake.
At this moment, ripples appeared in the lake.
Someone should be at the bottom of the lake and was about to appear.
"Is it really a bathing scene?"
Jiang Lan was surprised. From the looks of it, it did fit the situation.
But he still did not believe it.
Not long after, Jiang Lan saw water starting to rise. Someone was coming out of the water.
A dragon's roar rang out.
A snow-white dragon emerged from the lake.
It was a small dragon, or rather, a very small dragon.
A young dragon?
Ao Longyu?
Then, the scene disappeared.
Jiang Lan remained calm.
He knew that there was definitely something wrong with the so-called bathing scene.
However, he did not expect such a situation.
This scene matched the name.
The person had no clothes on her and had walked out of the lake naked.
But dragon scales were probably considered clothes, right?
This was probably why this thing could still be outside.
The image disappeared, and the aqua blue bead lay peacefully in Jiang Lan's hand.
However, the traces left behind by the activation could not be erased.
He didn't mind and casually threw it into the red gourd.
After cleaning, he was going to read some books and eat some pills.
After that, he would continue cultivating.
After cultivating for another year or so, his cultivation on the surface could be adjusted to the Golden Core Realm.
He just needed to remember this. The main focus was on his true cultivation realm.
It could be said that he managed to advance to the mid-stage Essence Soul realm entirely based on luck.
It would be difficult for him to enter the late-stage.
In the following days, Jiang Lan continued to do his work.
He spent most of his time cultivating.
In the mid-stage Essence Soul realm, his Power of Nine Bulls limit had reached the power of seven bulls.
He had a feeling that he might have a chance of fighting a late-stage Essence Soul cultivator with his current strength.
The power of seven bulls was too shocking.
It completely exceeded the strength a mid-stage Essence Soul cultivator should have.
However, he could not guarantee that the others did not have a skill like his.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, it was best not to jump realms to fight with others.
That was unless he had sufficient means to do so.
His Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel was about to reach the eighth step.
His ability to escape danger was much stronger now.
In the vast Grand Desolate World, survival was the most important thing.
He had also learned some Dragon Language, and the enhancement it brought to some of his spells was indeed unimaginable.
One example would be the enhancement it brought to his Heavenly Thunder Descent.
He had a feeling that if he were to use Dragon Language to unleash the spell, he would be like a god of lightning descending into the world, able to control all lightning.
If he became an immortal, his might would definitely be terrifying.
This also allowed Jiang Lan to know that once a dragon used such a spell, it would be even more terrifying.
From this, it could be seen that the dragon race could not be underestimated.
Of course, Jiang Lan wouldn't underestimate any enemy.
As long as it was his enemy, he would not waste time using other spells. He would only use the Power of Nine Bulls to end the battle quickly.
He wanted to insta-kill the enemy.
…
Three years passed in a flash.
Jiang Lan opened his eyes.
In the past three years, his cultivation remained at the mid-stage Essence Soul Realm. It would take quite some time for him to reach the late-stage.
However, a year ago, he had changed his cultivation on the surface to become a Golden Core cultivator.
Now, his master should think that his Golden Core was stable.
Ever since he built his foundation, his inner demons had never been examined again.
It was the same even after he had formed his Golden Core.
It all depended on when he would take the initiative to have it checked.
However, the Netherworld Cave passageway had been overflowing with energy recently.
It seemed that the eruption would happen soon.
When that time came, it would be perfect for him to utilize the Netherworld Aura to cultivate.
After the fortuitous opportunity he had gained in the Peaceful Void Lake was exhausted, his advancement had slowed down drastically.
Even with the elixirs and other items that he had gained from signing in, he still could not make rapid progress.
However, his speed was definitely still much faster than the others.
Recently, he had obtained quite a lot of things from signing in. There was once when he deliberately did not sign for three months to see if he could accumulate and gain a Great Dao's gift.
His luck wasn't bad and he obtained another bottle of Bejeweled Nectar Wine.
With it, he had a greater chance of advancing to the Void Refinement Realm.
He then waited for another three months.
Regretfully, he only obtained an ordinary Divine Feather Pill this time, which was meant for his cultivation at the Essence Soul Realm.
Perhaps he would get a better item if he were to wait six months.
However, he did not choose to do so. After all, he needed to sign in more often and get more elixirs and items to strengthen himself.
Now, it was time for him to visit his master.
If he hadn't been called, he would have continued cultivating until the day he became an immortal.
On the day he became an immortal, he needed to make a trip out.
This was because he had to undergo a tribulation.
When the time came, there were a lot of things he needed to prepare beforehand.
However, he was still far from becoming an immortal.
After pouring some spirit liquid onto the vegetative egg, Jiang Lan left the Netherworld Cave.
In the past few years, he did not discover any attention from his Martial Uncle from the First Summit. In theory, there was no problem.
He was in the Ninth Summit and had his master's protection.
Of course, Jiang Lan also felt that this senior wouldn't pay too much attention to him.
After all, his talent was average.
It was extremely difficult for him to become an immortal.
One's temperament… was far less important than strength.
Even though he had a good temperament, it did not mean that others were bad.
He was only slightly calmer than the others.
Before long, Jiang Lan arrived at the peak of the Ninth Summit.
"Master." Jiang Lan landed behind Mo Zhengdong.
"Have you stabilized your Golden Core?" Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan with a smile.
This was the first disciple that had formed his Golden Core on the Ninth Summit.
This disciple had given him too many surprises.
It also gave him a lot of anticipation.
Even if his disciple's talent was not that good, he would do his best to nurture him.
He wanted to help him become an immortal.
It's stabilized."
Jiang Lan nodded.
Initially, Jiang Lan thought that he would receive a gift from his master after his advancement.
After all, when he built his foundation, his master had given him a vegetative egg.
However, because of the vegetative egg, his master no longer gave him any more gifts.
His master had thought that it was a spirit pet initially, but who knew that it would end up as a potted plant instead?
Jiang Lan didn't expect this either.
He had already thought of letting his spirit pet watch his door.
If its spiritual wisdom was sufficient, it could help him clean up the hall and clear the grass by the roadside.
However, one's plans could not keep up with changes.
"You've been on the mountain for decades, but you've never been down, have you?" Mo Zhengdong asked softly.
As soon as he asked, Jiang Lan immediately said,
"Master, I don't want to go down the mountain for now."
Mo Zhengdong remained silent.
"You have formed your Golden Core, it's time to go train in the outside world."
"Master, I will go out and train when I become an immortal in the future."
"…"
Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan and didn't know what to say.
"But without actual combat, your future path will be dangerous. It will also be a form of resistance, preventing you from becoming an immortal," Mo Zhengdong said.
Jiang Lan lowered his head in silence.
"There are many spirit herbs in the Witchcloud Mountain Range. The demonic beasts there aren't too strong. Do you want to give it a try? The party leader is a Human Immortal. "
"Too far."
Jiang Lan had naturally heard of the Witchcloud Mountain Range. It was said that many disciples would head there to train.
However, it was located in the desolate north.
The distance from Kunlun to the mountain range was not something that could be reached by flying.
Jiang Lan naturally wouldn't go so far away.
It was too dangerous.
"What about the Qilin Mountain Range? It's not too far. It's about a ten days journey from here. With someone leading the team, the trip would take at most five days. The fortuitous opportunities in the Qilin Mountain Range are immeasurable. Also, it's very easy to find a spirit beast that can be a spirit pet." Mo Zhengdong asked again.
Jiang Lan thought for a moment and said.
"Master, is there somewhere where I can go and come back within two hours?"
Mo Zhengdong remained silent.
Was this disciple of his intending on going down the mountain to help clear the roadblocks?
Jiang Lan lowered his head in silence.
He did not reject such training. After all, he really lacked actual combat experience.
Some things required practical experience.
However, it was too dangerous for him to leave the Ninth Summit.
Before becoming an immortal, he did not want to go out.
That was unless it was a necessity. However, up till now, there had not been such a case.
"Then let's talk about other things first. The Jade Pool is opening soon. At that time, some immortals would try to enter the Jade Pool. As a personal disciple, you have to attend the ceremony," said Mo Zhengdong.
"Are we going to the Jade Pool to observe the ceremony?" Jiang Lan asked.
There was another place above that of the Kunlun Nine Summits, the Jade Pool Sacred Ground.
It was said that only women could enter and cultivate there.
However, almost no one could enter it.
Of course, Jiang Lan didn't care about such a thing. What he cared about was that he could enter the Jade Pool to sign in.
The Jade Pool definitely had a path of Great Dao.
If he were to sign in at the Jade Pool, he would be able to obtain heaven-defying items that were on the same level as the Daoist Scripture and the Creation Pill.
Mo Zhengdong nodded. All personal disciples who did not have anything important on hand had to attend the event.
In the past, there were no representatives from the Ninth Summit. However, this time round, there was finally one.
Then, he thought for a moment and said,
"There's a place suitable for you to train at the bottom of Kunlun Mountain. With your speed, you can reach the destination in around two hours. At that place, there is an Ice Cicada Forest. Go help me catch two ice cicadas. Four hours to and fro isn't too far, right?" Mo Zhengdong asked.
Jiang Lan didn't refuse this time.
His master had changed training outside into catching ice cicadas.
It was more or less an experience.
And it was very close.
It was not much further than the inn where he bought wine for his master.
It was not easy to catch an ice cicada in the Golden Core stage, but it was not dangerous either.
However, to a mid-stage Essence Soul cultivator like Jiang Lan, it didn't seem to be much of a hassle.
He would take it as a trip to sign in.
Fortunately, it was close enough.
Soon, Jiang Lan left the Ninth Summit.
After learning the location of the Ice Cicada Forest, he planned to make a fast trip.
He still had not signed in today.
He didn't want to waste any time.
Mo Zhengdong watched helplessly as Jiang Lan left.
"It looks like when the time comes for choosing elite disciples for the Witchcloud Gathering, he won't go either. Is this what happens when one's temperament is too good?"
Apart from the necessary cultivation, there was basically nothing else his disciple wanted.
Mo Zhengdong smiled bitterly, but he did not blame him at all.
He did not dislike the feeling of being distressed for his disciple.
Instead, he was very proud of this disciple of his.
…
Jiang Lan's speed was very fast. On the surface, he was at the Golden Core Realm. Thus, the speed at which he rode on his flying sword was also at the Golden Core Realm.
He did not fly too high and fast. Doing so was too high-profile and would easily provoke some seniors who were also traveling.
Some people just didn't like people flying over their heads.
Therefore, Jiang Lan avoided all these carefully.
Soon, he arrived at the Ice Cicada Forest.
It wasn't far from Mount Kunlun. Or rather, it could be said that this place could barely be considered within Kunlun.
It was just that Kunlun had never cared about this place.
Although Ice Cicadas were not ordinary, they were not a rare species.
It was not very useful for cultivation.
There was no need to care too much about them.
Jiang Lan stood in midair. In front of him were some trees stained with frost.
It was the same everywhere he looked.
This was the Ice Cicada Forest.
Jiang Lan landed in the forest and began to search for the ice cicadas.
As he walked deeper into the forest, the sounds of the forest gradually subsided.
It didn't take long for Jiang Lan to feel that the forest had become unusually quiet. The Ice Cicada Forest wasn't supposed to be like this.
He had checked the information regarding this place.
"Something is wrong here."
With this thought in mind, Jiang Lan decided to withdraw.
However, he suddenly felt someone staring at him.
The person was not far behind him.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Lan looked behind him.
However, there was no one behind except for a few trees.
Jiang Lan frowned, but there was no danger for now.
"I shall sign in here first."
…He did not notice the person observing him secretly.
Jiang Lan didn't panic.
But he had no intention of going deeper.
The Ice Cicada Forest was indeed a little dangerous.
However, he had never heard of any creature here that even Golden Cores couldn't detect.
Jiang Lan felt that there should be some new changes here.
In any case, he would withdraw first and see what happened.
The Ice Cicada Forest was so big, it was not difficult to catch two Ice Cicadas.
However, when he was about to leave, he decided to sign in here first.
This place could barely be considered the middle of a forest.
"System, I'm signing in here."
[Ding!]
[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the gift of the Great Dao. You have obtained the divine power, Spiritual Suppression Force.]
[Spiritual Suppression Force: A subsidiary spell technique. By merging with other spell techniques, it has the power to suppress the soul, as well as break and shatter one's spirit.]
When the system's voice fell, Jiang Lan was a little surprised.
It was a divine power.
This was the second time he had obtained a divine power ever since he had gotten One Leaf Vision.
"Spiritual Suppression Force? Judging from the description, it seems to be targeting one's Essence Soul. Is it similar to the Spirit Striking Whip?"
Jiang Lan originally intended to learn it directly, but it was hard to say if it would bring along any problems.
After all, he felt someone watching him from behind.
The next second, Jiang Lan looked behind.
This time, he saw a standing demon beast. It had a green face and sharp fangs, and its strength did not seem to be at Golden Core.
"A demon beast that has yet to reach the Golden Core Realm can appear before my eyes without me noticing?"
Furthermore, he had activated his perception.
There was something wrong with this demon beast.
"I'm just passing by. If you do not welcome me, I can leave right now."
Jiang Lan looked at it and said.
Right now, it was also looking at Jiang Lan.
When the other party didn't react, Jiang Lan retreated out of the forest step by step.
He did not want to become enemies with the other party. At present, the other party did not insist on killing him.
Jiang Lan was retreating, but the demonic beast only watched without any signs of attacking.
However, just as Jiang Lan was about to retreat, someone suddenly rushed out from behind the demonic beasts.
The sword was very fast.
The power it brought along was also very strong.
Early-stage Golden Core.
"Fellow Daoist, don't be afraid. I'll lend you a hand."
The voice followed.
The sword locked onto the demon beast, as if it wanted to kill the green-faced, long-fanged demon beast.
The demonic beast sensed it and bared its teeth, wanting to counterattack, but its strength seemed to be insufficient.
A chill ran down Jiang Lan's spine.
There seemed to be countless eyes staring at him in the forest.
It was like staring at an enemy.
"Is this person trying to drag me down?"
Jiang Lan could clearly feel that once this demonic beast was killed, he would definitely be hated.
Without any hesitation, he activated the Spirit Ape Spell.
With a single step, he arrived beside the demonic beast.
He cast a spell and blocked the early-stage Golden Core cultivator's sword. The man was shocked. He never expected Jiang Lan to suddenly appear.
However, Jiang Lan didn't give him any time to react. He kicked out towards him.
Bang!
The powerful force sent the man flying.
Spit!
The man spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the face of Jiang Lan's kick, his cultivation was actually unable to circulate in the slightest.
After the man was sent flying, Jiang Lan retreated some distance and immediately looked at the demonic beast.
In that instant, Jiang Lan felt as if the entire forest was staring at him.
He could feel that he was in a very dangerous position.
At this moment, the demonic beast was staring at Jiang Lan, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.
"You should go."
Jiang Lan spoke first.
At this moment, he had to speak. Otherwise, the demonic beast would attack easily. Once it did, the consequences would be unpredictable.
The demonic beast seemed to understand Jiang Lan's words.
It looked at Jiang Lan, slowly entering a tree.
The other party disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan frowned and decided not to approach the tree.
However, when the demon beast left, the gaze from the forest instantly disappeared.
He was not hated by the hidden existence, nor was he targeted.
Jiang Lan looked at the man beside him.
However, another middle-aged man rushed over from afar.
A perfected Golden Core cultivator.
The middle-aged man came to the early-stage Golden Core cultivator's side. After confirming that he was only slightly injured, he looked at Jiang Lan.
"Fellow Daoist, why must you do this? We mean no harm. "
"I have no ill intentions too," Jiang Lan said.
These two were not from Kunlun.
"In that case, I won't disturb you any further, Fellow Daoist." As the middle-aged man spoke, he planned to leave with his men. However, before he left, he added, "Something strange has happened in the forest. I hope you have the strength to leave."
Jiang Lan watched them leave.
He seemed to have some unwillingness.
"A perfected Golden Core is unhappy with a mid-stage Golden Core like me, yet he doesn't attack me. Is it because I'm a Kunlun disciple?"
Jiang Lan guessed.
However, Jiang Lan wasn't sure what the other party was planning.
As long as they did not provoke him, everyone would be safe.
If he did target himself.
Jiang Lan wouldn't hold back in the slightest.
If that early-stage Golden Core cultivator had attacked him just now, then he would not have used any ordinary spell technique or the Spirit Ape Spell.
He would deal with the person with his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel and Power of Nine Bulls.
However, he would use his Power of Nine Bulls with his new Spiritual Suppression Force.
When the time came, he would completely suppress his enemy.
No matter the type of enemy.
As for the exact situation, Jiang Lan needed to learn Spiritual Suppression Force first.
He would try to leave now.
Jiang Lan kept retreating, but the more he retreated, the stranger he felt.
The trees around him seemed to be moving, affecting the way he was leaving.
If not for his Essence Soul cultivation, he would not have noticed it.
"Looks like I'm still being targeted."
Jiang Lan could feel that there was an array formation deliberately blocking him from leaving.
It was man-made.
He had only met two people here.
It was the two Golden Core cultivators.
However, they should not have the strength to keep him here.
That was unless their attainments in array formations were astonishing.
Jiang Lan could break this formation, but it was not easy.
It would take some time as he wasn't skilled in array formations.
Currently, the easiest solution was to take out the mastermind.
Since he couldn't break the array formation in a short period of time, he had to take out the person who had laid it.
After that, Jiang Lan stood on the spot and waited for those people to arrive.
He was not far from the outside.
It was not too dangerous.
"I shall cultivate the Spiritual Suppression Force first."
Jiang Lan thought.
Since he was waiting, he would use this time to equip himself and ensure that he could face any problems calmly.
However, he was still on guard to prevent any sneak attacks.
Currently, no one had appeared.
Jiang Lan sat cross-legged.
He began to browse through the Spiritual Suppression Force in his mind.
As the Spiritual Suppression Force was flipped open, the words on it started to disappear. All the words that disappeared were absorbed into Jiang Lan's body.
This was a divine power, not a spell technique.
Therefore, there was no need for him to look at it. He would learn it once he had fully integrated the words.
Before long, Jiang Lan felt the Spiritual Suppression Force appear in his body.
It was a faintly discernible power.
It was impossible to use it directly.
However, Jiang Lan had a feeling that as long as he used a spell technique, he would be able to unleash this power.
The more powerful a spell technique was, the stronger this power would become.
The weaker the spell.
The more useless this spell was.
Spiritual Suppression Force acted as a supplement for spell techniques.
This was a power that targeted the mind.
It was quite useful.
Infusing the Power of Nine Bulls with it was the most suitable.
The Power of Nine Bulls was very strong, so strong that nothing could break it.
With this, there were almost no shortcomings.
A moment later, Jiang Lan exhaled.
He had finished cultivating the divine power, Spiritual Suppression Force.
After that, he just needed to familiarize himself with the process of integration. It wasn't that easy to integrate it completely for now.
Of course, even if it integrated with the Power of Nine Bulls partially.
It was already very terrifying.
"They have come."
When Jiang Lan opened his eyes, he felt some people walking towards him.
Jiang Lan stood up and looked into the distance.
There were a total of seven people.
There was at least one in the Essence Soul Realm.
…
"This person is waiting for us to go over? The Kunlun disciples are just overconfident. "An elder looked ahead and said coldly.
"Is there really no problem? Kunlun disciples are not to be trifled with." The middle-aged man at the perfected Golden Core realm asked.
Daoist Hidden Cloud shook his head and said.
"Don't worry. There are many Kunlun disciples. One or two disappearing wouldn't cause much of an issue. Moreover, they would know what is inside this forest if they came. The one who killed him is a mutated wood ape demon beast. It has nothing to do with us. "
The others didn't say anything else.
"Don't we need to split up and surround him to prevent him from randomly escaping, affecting our plan?" Another person asked.
"Let me go first." A woman in rather coquettish clothes touched her lips and smiled.
"One look and I can tell that he's a young man who doesn't understand the relationship between men and women. Let me make him work for me willingly."
After saying that, energy surged from that woman's body. The originally beautiful woman had become an innocent woman.
"Young people like such a girl now, right?"
The others looked at the woman without saying anything as if they tacitly agreed with her actions.
This method was indeed the easiest, allowing the other party to help them achieve their final goal willingly.
It all depended on efficiency.
They were about to obtain what they wanted. Not to mention Kunlun's inner sect disciples, they would not even let off personal disciples.
Being hunted down by Kunlun?
It was still a question whether they could survive until they got what they wanted.
Of course, what made them fearless was that this person was too weak.
Mid-stage Golden Core Realm.
Even if his talent was good, he was only at the mid-stage Golden Core realm.
…
Jiang Lan stood on the spot, waiting for these people to arrive.
To be honest, the other party had no reason to target him.
In the previous encounter, their conflict should not have reached the point of fighting to death.
If they just wanted to gain back their dignity, would they need someone at the Essence Soul Realm to aid them?
Furthermore, the powerhouse was also someone who was quite skilled in array formations.
Furthermore, this array formation should have been placed long beforehand.
Moreover, the perfected Golden Core Realm cultivator from before had sufficient strength to gain back his dignity earlier.
So it was probably for something else.
Jiang Lan soon saw a young woman appear in front of him.
She was a young lady wearing an immortal dress.
She did not exactly have a face that could captivate the birds and the fish, but her face was very comfortable to look at.
Her slender body could not be concealed even though she wore a dress.
However, she did not feel exposed at all.
From her outlook, Jiang Lan would give her a perfect score.
"Fellow Daoist, are you waiting for someone?"
The woman approached Jiang Lan, completely unprepared.
However, the moment the other party spoke, Jiang Lan sensed it.
She was using a charm spell on him.
This bewitching spell seemed to emanate from every single movement of the other party.
She was constantly breaking down his guard.
"Were you the one who trapped me here?" Jiang Lan asked.
"Yes." The woman walked up to Jiang Lan and waved her hands. She then said shyly.
"I feel that fellow Daoist's constitution is a bit special. I wish to discuss something with fellow Daoist."
The woman was right in front of Jiang Lan, and she didn't do anything to overstep her boundaries.
It was as if she was just here to have a normal conversation with Jiang Lan.
There was a hint of shyness on her face.
"Discuss how to take my life?" Jiang Lan looked at the woman calmly.
The woman wasn't surprised or alarmed by Jiang Lan's words. She only shook her head with a smile.
"Of course not. Fellow Daoist's life is so precious, you definitely won't give it to others."
Why would I make such an unreasonable request? "Xixi looked at Jiang Lan and explained. Then, she lowered her head and said.
"Xixi saw that you were special and wanted to…"
As she spoke, Xixi raised her head to look at Jiang Lan, her face blushing.
"I want to have a child with you. I wonder if I could do so? "
When Jiang Lan heard this, he felt a pair of hands appear behind him, as if they were trying to control him.
As long as he relaxed his mind, he would give the hands a chance to control himself.
And after that, he would be unable to control his body anymore.
At that point in time, his life would be in the hands of someone else.
However, Jiang Lan didn't give these two hands a chance.
Jiang Lan turned to look at the woman beside him and said calmly,
"I refuse."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Jiang Lan's fist moved.
Xixi, who was using her Charm Spell, frowned. The other party had no reaction towards her charm at all.
No matter how she looked at it, he did not seem like someone who had just entered the mortal world.
As Jiang Lan swung his fist, Xixi immediately tried to escape.
She had failed to control Jiang Lan. She had to leave.
However, the fist had already arrived. A powerful force swept across Xi Xi's body.
Boom!!!
Before Xixi's world turned dark, she saw a blood-red world.
She then felt an indescribable pain running through her body.
How was that possible?
When she realized that her body was broken, she could not understand what had just happened.
This man was actually so ruthless and did not have the slightest bit of pity for her.
And…
He was so powerful.
If she knew Jiang Lan was so strong, she would have struck first.
Her heart was filled with unwillingness.
However, she could only die.
Jiang Lan punched half of her body into a bloody mist.
Putting aside the fact that the other party was only a Golden Core cultivator, even if she was an Essence Soul cultivator, she would still be unable to react in time.
If she had not underestimated him, she might have managed to react.
As Jiang Lan understood this, he never underestimated his enemies.
What if the other party had also concealed his cultivation?
It depended on who hid more.
Jiang Lan didn't hate women, but he didn't like a woman who wanted to kill him.
"Hiding his cultivation? No wonder he's so fearless."
At this moment, the remaining six people walked over from all directions.
The other party didn't seem to care much about their companion being killed.
Jiang Lan looked at them calmly.
"Six people. One early-stage Golden Core, one mid-stage Golden Core, and two perfected Golden Core. One is an early-stage Essence Soul cultivator while the other is a mid-stage Essence Soul cultivator. This lineup is very strong."
Facing these people, Jiang Lan had a plan in mind.
He would kill the strongest first.
The strongest was the old man in front of him.
"Help us do one thing and I will let you go. How about it?" The old man looked at Jiang Lan and continued.
"Even though you're a Kunlun disciple, Kunlun can't save you right now."
In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by enemies.
"I'm just passing by. What makes you think I can help you?" Jiang Lan asked.
He was looking for an opportunity.
A chance to insta-kill him.
"Initially, we only wanted to ask your esteemed self to help us absorb some firepower. However, accidents are always unexpected." The old man looked at Jiang Lan and said.
"There is a wood ape demon beast in the forest that doesn't trust humans. But for some unknown reason, you have suddenly gained their favor. Although they only trust you a little, it shows that you are special. For that, we can only leave you here and ask of you to do us a favor. "
"What if I say no?" Jiang Lan asked.
The elder smiled and said.
"We're not asking for your opinion. Do it."
Since they couldn't use a gentle method to make Jiang Lan work for them, then they would use a forceful method.
This time, he had come for the core item that the wood ape demon beast possessed.
They would not let go of any hope.
No matter what type of disciple Jiang Lan was, they would still force Jiang Lan to aid them.
Jiang Lan stood where he was. He could feel that a perfected Golden Core was attacking him.
The Golden Core cultivator was approaching him at a very fast speed.
However, he didn't immediately move, instead looking at that elder.
Although the other party didn't really care about him.
But he was still vigilant.
And just as the perfected Golden Core was about to attack, the elder finally relaxed for a moment.
However, he merely relaxed for a little. It was still not the best time to strike.
But…
This was the only time the other party would relax, so he had to take action.
He activated his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel.
His Power of Nine Bulls circulated to the limit of the power of seven bulls.
Jiang Lan disappeared on the spot, and then he arrived before the middle-aged man.
His fist instantly followed.
The instant Jiang Lan moved, that elder became vigilant.
He was rather surprised by Jiang Lan's sudden appearance.
However, he immediately circulated his power and began to counterattack Jiang Lan.
He was already on guard.
"I've been waiting for you." The old man smiled coldly.
Jiang Lan had concealed his cultivation, so he had been waiting for Jiang Lan to counterattack.
Without any strength, how could a Kunlun disciple have any confidence?
How could he be so fearless?
But, would he be unprepared?
The other party was just walking right into their trap.
Then, the elder's power continuously surged, wishing to capture Jiang Lan in one go.
However, the old man's pupils constricted instantly.
Jiang Lan's strength collided with his.
He actually felt like an egg striking a stone.
It was as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
