Chapter 177: Reached The Age Of Being A Party Leader?
After leaving his master’s location, Jiang Lan returned to the courtyard.
He looked at the vegetative egg and the Udumbara Flower.
The vegetative egg didn’t look any different, but the Udumbara Flower looked like it was about to wither.
He sensed that the vegetative egg’s life force was also weakening.
It seemed that although these two were tenacious, it was also dangerous to ignore them for too long.
However, they were still alive. There was a high chance that Xiao Yu had visited them a few times and watered them with spirit liquid.
After confirming the situation with the duo, Jiang Lan walked around the flowering shrubs.
There was a patch that was thinner.
Xiao Yu had told him about it before.
After that, he walked around the Ninth Summit and observed his surroundings, as well as the integrity of the array formations.
Apart from the weeds that needed to be handled, there were no other problems.
The core of the array formations was stronger than before.
It was the result of long-term accumulation.
After confirming these things, Jiang Lan began to work on the simplest and fastest things.
After spending some time, he did some cleaning and took out the weeds on the Ninth Summit.
Then, he brought the vegetative egg to the Netherworld Cave.
Four years had passed, but the Netherworld Cave hadn’t changed much.
The small house he had built was also intact.
When he entered, Jiang Lan took a look at the entrance to the Netherworld. His master had told him that only immortals could take a look at what was inside.
Now that he had become a Human Immortal, he supposed that he could take a look.
“Let’s wait a little longer.”
Jiang Lan shook his head. It was one thing for a newly ascended immortal to not have a stable foundation. Secondly, his master must have set up a trap at the entrance to the Netherworld.
He hadn’t felt it before, but now he more or less felt it.
Even after becoming a Human Immortal, he still could not see even the tip of his master’s strength.
“Should I first examine the records regarding immortals, or should I set up a concealment array formation first?”
After a moment of hesitation.
He decided to set up a concealment array formation first.
Learning One Leaf Shrouding The Sky was of utmost importance.
But it would take a long time.
Spring passed and autumn came.
In the span of a year, Jiang Lan had dug a few holes near the Netherworld Cave and set up many array formations.
This place was already filled with concealment array formations that could shield what was happening inside from the heavens. The array formations were interconnected, allowing the effects to reach their peak.
In the past year, Jiang Lan had read a lot of information on array formations that concealed secrets from the heavens.
It took him an entire year to set up this rather decent concealment array formation.
“I can give it a try now.”
After confirming that there was no problem with the array formation, Jiang Lan sat inside the Netherworld Cave.
Then, he began to check on the One Leaf Shrouding The Sky book in his mind.
With a thought, he started to open the book.
Splash!
The book was flipped open.
In that instant, countless words began to fuse into his body. Following that, he felt as though he was being watched by an invisible existence. However, due to the existence of the array formation, that feeling disappeared again.
It was the gaze of the Great Dao.
Indeed, the existence of array formations was especially important.
A moment later, the book and words disappeared without a trace, or rather, they had become a part of Jiang Lan’s body.
In that instant, Jiang Lan felt as if he was sitting in an endless fog.
There were countless thin lines on his body.
It was as if every line represented his karma with someone or something else.
The brighter the thread, the deeper the karma.
The deeper it was, the easier it was for them to come his way.
After he saw these lines, the fog around him began to surge, covering all the thin lines.
Then, the surrounding fog soared into the sky, covering the entire sky. The fog was like a sea. He sat under the fog and looked at the endless void.
No one had noticed him.
He had successfully learned One Leaf Shrouding The Sky.
Jiang Lan opened his eyes and looked at the hand that was extended. He was a little puzzled.
He could feel the existence of One Leaf Shrouding The Sky.
However, it didn’t seem to be an active divine power, but a passive divine power.
His One Leaf Shrouding The Sky was still activated. Only when someone broke through it would they be able to trigger it.
In other words, without even using his One Leaf Vision, his One Leaf Shrouding The Sky would automatically cover the other party’s eyes.
“That’s convenient.”
He was familiar with the effects of One Leaf Vision. Since his newfound spell had the same effect without him needing to activate it, it was all the more better for him.
This way, he would also be able to sense if someone had passed through his One Leaf Vision.
Jiang Lan let out a sigh of relief after completing the task.
It was much safer.
From the current outlook, the Heavenly Human Race was chasing after him while the Demon Race and Dragon Race were not targeting him too much.
At the very least, they weren’t like the Heavenly Human Race for now, where they were unable to tolerate him.
Otherwise, it would be somewhat difficult to fend against all of them at once.
The demons were too large a race and too strong.
It wasn’t something the Heavenly Human Race could compare to.
However, the fact that the Heavenly Human Race was able to start a war with the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race meant that they weren’t weak either.
The Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race was as famous as the Dragon Race.
However, their strength should not be on the same level.
The Dragon Race dominated the four seas, while the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race occupied the Wutong Mountain and stood aloof from worldly affairs.
It seemed like the dragons were stronger.
All of this was hearsay. Jiang Lan didn’t know the details, so he would ask someone suitable when he had time.
He had to find a good opportunity to ask his master about it.
If it was too sudden, there might be some trouble.
After watering the vegetative egg and Udumbara Flower with some spirit liquid, Jiang Lan headed outside.
Now, the Udumbara Flower and the vegetative egg had recovered to the condition they were in previously before he had left.
As soon as he walked out of the Netherworld Cave, he suddenly received a message.
It was a message from his master.
Jiang Lan immediately checked.
“The mystic realm of the Fifth Summit has opened?”
Jiang Lan took a closer look and discovered that it was a place where Golden Cores went.
He wasn’t going to experience it. He was going to…
Be a party leader.
“Is this to increase my prestige?”
Jiang Lan immediately thought of it, but this was not what he wanted.
He just wanted to be more transparent.
On the surface, he was only an early-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator and his hidden cultivation was that of a mid-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator. He was indeed qualified to lead the team. It was not troublesome at all.
But being the leader would cause him to attract attention.
The sense of existence that he had painstakingly reduced would rise again.
At that time, he would have to spend more time on the Ninth Summit.
Although…
He didn’t think much about it anymore.
“I hope there won’t be any accidents. The more mediocre my performance is and the more I act according to my job scope, the less attention I’ll attract.”
There was still some time. His master had just informed him earlier.
Jiang Lan didn’t think too much about it. Such a small matter wasn’t easy to avoid, so he could only brace himself and go forward.
Golden Core Realm.
Most of them should be disciples who entered the sect sixty years ago.
The probability of them knowing him was neither big nor small.
Of course, these people might not recognize him either. Back then, their cultivation levels at the grand ceremony were too low to recognize him from afar.
Furthermore, so many years had passed.
Even those who saw him clearly might not remember his features clearly.
Jiang Lan came to the Ninth Summit’s library. He wanted to check up more on the details of the Immortal Realm.
Once he had a rough idea, he would be able to plan what to do next.
At the same time, he could gauge his strength when compared to the entire Grand Desolate World.
A Human Immortal was indeed very strong, but he felt that being a Human Immortal was not that safe yet.
He, who had just advanced, saw three Human Immortals die with his own eyes. When he returned to Kunlun, he had seen another one.
If someone else of his realm had died today, then there was a chance he could too.
After half a day, Jiang Lan stopped.
There were a lot of books in the Ninth Summit, so he could roughly understand what was going on in the Immortal Realm.
Upon entering the immortal sect, one could become an immortal through overcoming the heavenly tribulation.
And Human Immortals were only the lowest level among immortals, and also the most ordinary.
Human Immortals only had strength and life that had reached the level of immortals, but their bodies were still that of a mortal’s.
Only when one’s body was tempered by immortal power could one be considered a true Immortal.
In other words, Human Immortals were still easy to kill.
When they fought, they were not even cannon fodder and could only be used as logistical support.
“It still feels dangerous outside.”
Jiang Lan closed the book and sighed slightly.
