Chapter 215: Kowtow To Xiao Yu
“Have you heard? The Dragon Race is challenging the paragons of the various summits this time.”
When he arrived at the library, Jiang Lan heard people having discussions about this matter.
He stopped in his tracks.
He mainly wanted to hear whether there was other news.
The news from outside Kunlun mostly originated from the Seniors and Juniors of the various Summits. They usually gathered together to discuss the situation and happenings in the Grand Desolate World.
Jiang Lan didn’t have the same energy as them. He spent most of his time cultivating.
In the past, cleaning the Ninth Summit was what he did to relax.
Nowadays, he mainly accompanied Xiao Yu when taking a break from cultivation.
With Xiao Yu around, it was indeed a little noisy. However, it made him surprisingly peaceful and he did not feel any disgust.
“I heard that the Dragon Race has sent out nine geniuses to challenge the geniuses of the nine summits. It’s said that every one of them is above the immortal level.”
“Right, they are all immortals, completely different from what had happened when the Heavenly Human Race came the previous time.”
“Right, the Heavenly Human Race took advantage of the situation then. We didn’t have any heavenly geniuses here then, so it’s going to be different this time.”
“But there’s a small problem. I remember that there are no immortals in the Ninth Summit, right?”
“That’s right, there isn’t. Apparently, the dragon will be suppressing his cultivation.”
“Does the Ninth Summit really have disciples? I’ve been here for decades, but I’ve never seen one.”
Jiang Lan decided to change locations. This was not a topic he was interested in listening to.
He decided to look for books first.
The Kunlun Library was like a tower with many floors.
As a personal disciple, he could read most of them.
Of course, some places had cultivation restrictions, so he couldn’t go up.
When his cultivation reached a certain level, he would naturally be able to advance.
It was completely different from the Ninth Summit. There were no books he could not read in the ninth summit.
In the beginning, his master would tell him which books were not suitable for him to read and let him slowly become stronger before reading them.
Taking a look in advance could easily affect one’s cultivation.
Jiang Lan followed his master’s instructions and didn’t look at it in advance.
Upon reaching the third level, he began to look for related books.
However, when he came up, he heard another conversation in the corner.
“I am sure that the genius from the Heavenly Human Race is going to achieve mastery in the Empyrean Scripture and forgo his emotions.”
Jiang Lan, who originally wanted to look for books, stopped once again.
Right now, these people were discussing what was happening to the other forces in the Grand Desolate World. They were even extremely enthusiastic about this.
“It’s been so many years, and he’s finally going to succeed? How did you know?”
“An unprecedented battle broke out between the Wutong Mountain and the Heavenly Human Race. It is said that heaven and earth anomalies appeared before everything calmed down. The members of the Heavenly Human Race stood upright, and there was someone at the peak of the stairs of ascension who looked down on all living beings.”
“There seems to be a phenomenon at Wutong Mountain. Endless flames are starting to burn.”
“I don’t know how long the war will last.”
“I don’t know what’s going on in the Grand Desolate World. Powerful factions are starting to move around everywhere. It’s said that the Magus Immortals of Mount Numinous have also gone out. Their target might be the Netherworld’s Devil Race.”
“I wonder if something like this will happen to us here.”
After hearing this, Jiang Lan didn’t stay any longer and began to search for books.
It was chaotic outside.
There were huge battles everywhere. It was indeed dangerous to go out.
He was just a mere True Immortal. If he was not careful, he would be reduced to a skeleton.
“The Heavenly Human Race wants to help its genius to break through and reach the realm where he could forgo his emotions. It seems like the crucial moment has arrived. Their attention towards me should gradually fade.”
“I wonder if that genius will find trouble with me after he forgos his emotions.”
With the current momentum of the Heavenly Human Race, there was a high chance they wouldn’t even take Kunlun seriously.
However, the distance was too great, so the Heavenly Human Race likely wouldn’t send him over.
In truth, Jiang Lan was also rather curious. There were clashes between the various great powers. Could the Western Wastelands where Kunlun also have other great powers who clashed with Kunlun?
Then, he shook his head. He was thinking too far ahead.
His current small goal was to see his master’s realm.
To him, there should be no safer place in the Grand Desolate World than the Ninth Summit.
Following which, he began searching for books regarding the different immortal realms.
A few hours later, Jiang Lan left the library.
“Human Immortals temper their bodies to attain Immortal Bodies before they can become True Immortals.”
“True Immortals will need to gain insight into the heavens and earth and the Dao. After that, they will need to transcend another tribulation before they can become Heaven Immortals.”
“After one becomes a Heaven Immortal, one will need to gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao to become a Celestial Immortal.”
“A Celestial Immortal will have to figure out his own Dao and after coming up with his own Dao, he will become a Dao Immortal.”
This was what Jiang Lan had learned today. He read many documents before coming to this conclusion.
There should be no mistakes.
However, these were theories mentioned in the books. He could not guarantee whether they were correct.
But he was pretty sure the theories regarding the different immortal realms were correct.
“The pinnacle of immortality is becoming a Dao Immortal. I wonder what realm Master is at.”
Jiang Lan had just achieved an immortal body, becoming a True Immortal.
With his Eyes Of Truth, he could see through the cultivation of a Heaven Immortal.
Since he could not see through his master’s cultivation, it meant that he was above the Heaven Immortal Realm.
Above Heaven Immortals were Celestial Immortals and Dao Immortals.
He could not confirm which realm his master was at at the moment, but if he transcended to become a Heaven Immortal, he would know the answer.
If he could see through his master’s cultivation, then his master must be a Celestial Immortal.
If he still couldn’t see through it, it meant that his master was a Dao Immortal.
Jiang Lan didn’t know what was above the Dao Immortal Realm.
Maybe it was becoming a Saint.
This was his ultimate goal.
At that time, he could take over the Ninth Summit and let his master retire.
As the chief disciple of the Ninth Summit, he had to guard the entrance to the Netherworld.
When he returned to the Ninth Summit, Jiang Lan intended to use a month to familiarize himself with the Dragon Slaying Sword and take care of the Ninth Summit.
It was very difficult to advance after becoming a True Immortal.
According to the pace of a human genius, one would need around a thousand years before one transcended to become a Heaven Immortal.
Furthermore, this was just the time one took to raise one’s cultivation level. There was still the aspect of comprehending the Dao.
Enlightenment might leave one stuck for life.
However, he did not know how to comprehend the Dao at the moment. He could only read the ancient books and search for it himself.
What he obtained the most from signing in were only cultivation pills. At the moment, there was nearly nothing which could help him comprehend the Dao.
Perhaps the Dao Comprehension Tea counted as one.
“En?”
When Jiang Lan arrived at the courtyard, he saw a beautiful figure standing in front of the vegetative egg, helping to water it.
It was Xiao Yu in casual clothes.
Xiao Yu was dressed very ordinarily today. Her hair was scattered and not tied up.
She seemed like a girl filled with the aura of youth.
It was indeed amazing that Ao Longyu could have such a normal appearance.
There were no assets on her chest at all.
However, the normal Ao Longyu was extremely eye-catching.
If he had not seen how Xiao Yu could change between her two appearances with his own eyes, he would not have believed it.
“Junior brother, you’re back?” Xiao Yu handed the wooden sword to Jiang Lan.
“Here.”
The Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent in the sword had already disappeared.
Different from the past, Jiang Lan only embedded it with a year’s worth of sword intent.
He did not explain the reason, and Xiao Yu never asked.
It was as if both of them felt that a year was normal.
It was no different from the previous transactions.
Or perhaps from what he knew, a year was the same as three years.
“Senior Sister, what are you watering it with?” Jiang Lan received the wooden sword and discovered that the spirit liquid that Xiaoyu was watering was red.
Normal spirit liquids were transparent.
The spirit liquid that he had added pill powder into was pure white.
Xiao Yu’s spirit liquid was bright red, so it was obvious that something extraordinary had been added.
“I heard that deep-sea blood coral is very good for plants. Thus, I am trying to use it to water the vegetative egg and the Udumbara Flower,” Xiao Yu said seriously.
“Deep-sea blood coral?” Jiang Lan was curious.
This item was not really rare and valuable but its shelf life was pretty short.
Xiao Yu shouldn’t have had such a thing before.
“This morning, one of my younger brothers suddenly wanted to see me, so I went to see him.” Xiao Yu thought for a while and continued.
“He said that he had forgotten to bring a present along so he took out everything he had on him and let me choose what I wanted. So I picked the blood coral. Now I’m wondering if I should reciprocate.”
Actually, she had some doubts. She might be a princess in the Dragon Race, but…
How could she compare to her younger brother who was an innate immortal?
She originally thought that he would even make things difficult for her. However, that wasn’t the case.
His younger brother even bowed to her when he first saw her.
It was as if he was very happy to have her as his sister.
It was extremely strange.
