After exchanging greetings with his master, Jiang Lan arrived at the main hall of the Ninth Summit.
He needed to clean up the place.
He could also take care of the weeds in the Ninth Summit after that.
The road that no one had walked on for a year began to be covered by weeds.
Although there was no one on the Ninth Summit, Jiang Lan would take care of all the necessary paths.
He also tidied up the flowers in the courtyard.
Doing so would allow one to feel comfortable when looking at them.
After dealing with this, he arrived at the main hall's square and began to dismantle the array formations here.
Then, he took out other array formations to compare.
It was much easier for him to understand other array formations now.
He was able to understand some profound array formations as well.
It was impossible to become an array master in a year.
After thinking for two days, Jiang Lan began to set up the array formations.
He did not intend to set up array formations across the entirety of the Ninth Summit.
Instead, he would set it up in the main hall, in his courtyard as well as in the Netherworld Cave.
He had gained inspiration from his Martial Aunt Miao Yue. He would hide an array formation in a hidden array formation.
Although it would be quite difficult, there was still time for him to construct the framework for it.
After which, he would slowly add modifications to it.
The four months were like a water trough that had been breached. Before long, it was completely drained.
Today, Jiang Lan received his master's notice.
It was time for him to head to the Eighth Summit.
If he wanted to learn the true essence of the Dragon Slaying Sword, Jiang Lan couldn't just go when he was free, but rather he needed to arrange a time beforehand.
Thus, even though his array formation in the Netherworld Cave was still in the critical phase of being set up, he didn't continue and chose to head to the Eighth Summit immediately instead.
If one wanted to learn, one had to have the attitude of seeking knowledge.
Otherwise, the one who would lose face would not be him but his master.
However, everything was almost done.
The framework had already been constructed. Now, it all depended on his comprehension of array formations.
Naturally, the main purpose of the array formation in the square was to absorb the energy from the attacks and coordinate with the offensive formation.
The accumulated power was stored under the land.
There was a Spiritual Energy Gathering Array Formation at the bottom to facilitate energy to the other array formations.
In the past few months, Jiang Lan had planted peach trees outside his courtyard. Now, his courtyard was surrounded by peach trees and it was difficult to find the entrance.
The Netherworld Cave had the most complicated array formations.
There were both offensive and defensive array formations. Most importantly, there was also an array formation that acted as an alarm.
As long as someone approached the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan would be informed.
This way, even if he was in seclusion, it wouldn't be a problem.
However, this alarm array formation needed a longer time, so it was not completed yet.
He had to perfect it after the engagement.
At that time, he would have entered seclusion and would be waiting for the opportunity to become an immortal.
Now, he needed to comprehend the Dragon Slaying Sword.
There was still one last portion of Dao Comprehension Tea. He should be able to completely understand the true essence of the Dragon Slaying Sword within eight months.
"Master."
On the peak of the Ninth Summit, Jiang Lan looked at his master respectfully.
"Are you sure you want to learn the Dragon Slaying Sword?" Mo Zhengdong asked.
Jiang Lan nodded and then explained.
"Don't worry, Master. I'm not intending to go against the Dragon Race."
Mo Zhengdong raised his brows. He wasn't worried that Jiang Lan would go against the Dragon Race. Instead, it was good for Jiang Lan to have the Dragon Slaying Sword when facing the Dragon Race.
It was mainly because his fiancée was a dragon. This could easily lead to a conflict between husband and wife.
"I have a question."
"Master, please ask."
"It is inevitable that there will be disputes between husband and wife. If you quarrel with the Goddess, will you draw your sword?"
When he heard this question, Jiang Lan was a bit stunned.
Master had asked similar questions previously, right?
Did he look like such a person?
"Master, you worry too much."
If he really wanted to attack, it would naturally be with the Power Of Nine Tribulations or the Power of Nine Bulls.
The Dragon Slaying Sword was not enough.
Mo Zhengdong didn't ask any more questions. Jiang Lan knew his limits, so he was more at ease.
However, a layer of mist suddenly appeared on his body.
Had his disciple learned to hide his strength?
Was Junior Sister Miao Yue the one who taught him?
"Take this. It will bring you to the Eighth Summit's Summit Leader. He is the only person in Kunlun who can teach the Dragon Slaying Sword."
Mo Zhengdong took out a small floating sword and handed it to Jiang Lan.
The Summit Leader of the Eighth Summit?
Did Master owe two Summit Leaders a favor this time?
This was something Jiang Lan didn't expect.
There were very few people in Kunlun who had such treatment, right?
"Thank you, Master."
Jiang Lan took the small sword.
After that, he left the Ninth Summit and headed to the Eighth Summit.
Mo Zhengdong frowned at Jiang Lan.
"I wonder if Junior Sister has taught him anything else."
What if his good disciple was led astray?
Sending him to the Eighth Summit might also lead him astray.
…
Jiang Lan rode his sword towards the Eighth Summit. He actually wanted to ask his master about the matter regarding his intent on finding a Dao companion.
Then, he would casually mention the Fifth Summit's Martial Aunt and see his master's reaction.
But he felt that the time was not ripe.
He needed to take his time.
Jiang Lan did not stop flying on his sword when he reached the Eighth Summit. It was not that he wanted to fly up directly, but the small sword in his hand had brought him up directly.
It was extremely fast.
Boom!
He felt his body drop to the ground in front of a lake.
"Junior Brother?"
Jiang Lan, who had just landed, heard a familiar voice.
It was a girl's voice.
He turned around and saw Xiao Yu holding a wooden sword.
"Senior Sister Xiao Yu?" This was rather surprising.
Wasn't this Senior Sister from the Third Summit?
Why did she appear on the Eighth Summit?
Furthermore, she was here to learn sword techniques too.
However, Jiang Lan still looked around immediately and found the Eighth Summit's Summit Leader.
There was a small pavilion by the lake, and Jiu Zhongtian was seated inside.
He was currently looking at Jiang Lan.
"Jiang Lan greets Martial Uncle."
Jiang Lan lowered his head respectfully.
Jiu Zhongtian was currently holding a wine pot in his hand. His hair was a bit messy and he had some stubble on his face.
There was not so much spirit in his eyes.
It was as if he had just woken up.
He looked at Jiang Lan, carefully examining him.
He was certain that there was no sword intent on the other party at all.
"I heard from your master that you've learned the Dragon Slaying Sword?" Jiu Zhongtian asked.
Jiu Zhongtian was surprised regarding this.
Dragon Slaying Sword was not easy to learn.
Even if one had the necessary conditions, one would not be able to learn them.
Otherwise, a bunch of people would have already learned it.
The Dragon Slaying Sword required one to encounter a fortuitous opportunity and have a sufficient understanding of the Dragon Race.
It was basically impossible for someone who had never seen a dragon to learn it.
"Yes," Jiang Lan answered immediately.
Although the Dragon Slaying Sword was learned through signing in, Kunlun had this sword skill too.
It was from that book of chronicles.
If one could comprehend it, one would comprehend. If one could not comprehend it, one would not comprehend.
However, it was very difficult to comprehend it. There were too many requirements.
"Come here." Jiu Zhongtian brought Jiang Lan towards the lake.
When he caught up, Jiang Lan realized that there were many people sitting by the lake. There were both males and females. He didn't know if they were cultivating or doing something else.
Arriving at the lake, Jiu Zhongtian waved his hand and the surface of the lake started to surge.
A huge shadow emerged from the lake.
Slosh.
A single-horned demonic dragon charged out of the water and stood in midair.
Its entire body was covered in dark red scales and its four claws were sharp. Its aura was astonishing.
Jiang Lan instinctively raised his guard when he saw the demonic dragon.
"Very strong. It is most definitely at least an Immortal."
Looking at the dark red demonic dragon, Jiang Lan was shocked.
He had not sensed the demonic dragon under the lake.
Furthermore, the other party was actually summoned by the Eighth Summit's Summit Leader.
The Summit Leader of the Eighth Summit should be extremely powerful.
It was no wonder he dared to challenge the dragon race.
"Come, go all out on it for me to take a look."
Jiu Zhongtian's voice could be heard.
Xiao Yu stood beside Jiang Lan and blinked.
She was looking forward to seeing it too.
She could finally witness the Dragon Slaying Sword.
