After leaving the Jade Pool, Jiang Lan returned to the Ninth Summit.
He stood in the courtyard and watered the vegetative egg with spirit liquid.
Dong dong!
On a whim today, he knocked on the vegetative egg.
"Anyone there?"
He then paused for a moment. There was no reaction at all. After all, it was a vegetative egg.
But from the sound of it, the shell seemed to have become much thicker.
It seemed to have grown.
Jiang Lan also looked over at the Udumbara Flower. He did not know how to greet it, so he gave up.
When he returned to the Ninth Summit, the Eighth Prince had also left Kunlun. He had probably gone to hunt for wild animals.
Recently, the Eighth Prince seemed to be looking for a mountain for him to take over.
Jiang Lan supported him.
But he didn't want to be involved.
Kulun already knew about the Underground's Devils, but it didn't take any further action.
The Eighth Prince said that there were definitely more devils nearby.
However, he had no idea where they were.
He had previously definitely encountered more than the party that had hunted him down.
As for the others.
Jiang Lan felt that the Eighth Prince wanted to say something but stopped himself. Perhaps he wanted to talk about the appearance of the new Deity Position.
The Eighth Prince had heard of the Underground's Devil Ancestor taking over a Deity Position.
It was just that he had never fully told Jiang Lan about it.
It should be because he felt that Kunlun was a little dangerous. Even the walls seemed to have ears.
It was mainly because the light from last time that had landed accurately on his body made him feel as if someone was staring at him at every moment.
Imperial Lord Xi He had scared the Eighth Prince.
As a result, he did not dare to say anything.
After all… Jiang Lan was supposed to have nothing to do with these titles.
"The Eighth Prince is quite cautious, but sometimes he gets complacent easily."
Jiang Lan thought back to the time when he was dealing with the Underground's Devil Race. When the Eighth Prince felt that there was someone backing him up, he was immediately filled with confidence.
Little did he know that he was just lucky that time.
Of course, it was not good to have a weak demeanor when facing an enemy.
Thus, he did not say anything.
Splash!
Jiang Lan sat on the chair and flipped open the Catoptric Deflection book.
His heart had already calmed down.
He only felt that it was luck that forced the four factions to retreat today.
If he had chosen to quietly defend instead, he wouldn't be able to delay much time.
Only by taking the initiative could everything be resolved.
Of course…
This also represented a huge risk.
The reason why he dared to be so bold was also because he was in Kunlun.
Because once his plan failed, the summit leaders would act.
Luckily, it worked out pretty well this time. Perhaps those people did not dare to gamble, or perhaps they were afraid of the Eighth Summit's martial uncle.
In short, everything went on smoothly.
"Senior Sister has successfully transcended the tribulation. She should still need a year and a half to stabilize her cultivation."
"I shall use this time to do something."
New changes had begun to appear in the Netherworld. According to his master, something should happen soon.
This was the first time he had encountered something like that. Hence, he decided to set up a sufficient amount of array formations.
This was to prevent any problems from arising.
At that time, he would not be flustered.
As for his Senior Sister becoming an immortal…
He decided that he would find some time to buy her some candied fruits. Although it was not very delicious, his Senior Sister didn't hate it.
As for buying other things…
Dragons liked shiny things, and his Senior Sister had them herself.
He could think about stealing it over and gifting it to his Senior Sister.
However, for the time being, he was unable to enter the Jade Pool.
Thus, it was better if he just bought some candied fruits.
Jiang Lan browsed through the book on Catoptric Deflection once again. The more he read the book, the more he felt that this technique was extraordinary.
Without his master, he would not have been able to afford this book.
In the evening.
Jiang Lan walked into the Netherworld Cave. He needed to cultivate.
Tomorrow, he would start constructing a new array formation. He had just gotten an idea just now.
He wanted to set up a sealing array formation in the Netherworld Cave in order to seal the beings that appeared.
He should also set up a Tranquil Heart Array Formation.
This would prevent his mind from being invaded by the inner demons.
This way, he would be able to capture the beings that had come out from the cave and kill them in one strike.
He had never intended to study the Netherworld Entrance, much less establish a connection or make a deal with the beings inside. His thoughts had never changed, and that was to send them on their way to hell.
He put down his emotions.
Jiang Lan began to temper his golden body.
The power of the Dao flowed through his body.
When this power spread throughout his entire body, he would reach the perfected Heaven Immortal Realm.
At present, the power was still spread thinly across some parts of his body.
Doing this would temper his flesh and blood.
Once he finished tempering his flesh and blood, he would advance to the mid-stage Heaven Immortal Realm. At that time, he would be able to temper his meridians. Once his meridians were completely tempered, he would advance to the late-stage Heaven Immortal Realm.
At that time, he would then need to temper his bones, and finally, his essence soul.
Oly by tempering all of these could he achieve a perfected Golden Body. This was also one of the conditions for him to advance to become a Celestial Immortal.
During the day, Jiang Lan stopped tempering his body and began to read up on and set up array formations.
He then continued cultivating at night.
It did not delay anything.
Spring and autumn changed in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Lan's array formations had already been set up, and his cultivation progress had also improved noticeably.
He felt that the tempering of his flesh and blood was about to be completed.
Perhaps he would advance to the mid-stage Heaven Immortal Realm in another ten years or so.
He would break through soon. The leap in his cultivation progress was thanks to his epiphany.
Otherwise, it would take at least another forty years.
It was morning.
Jiang Lan walked out of the Netherworld Cave. At present, the Netherworld Aura didn't increase in the cave much. It could be considered an ordinary eruption.
Things would be different in a few years.
At that time, it might bring him some trouble.
But…
It would also increase his understanding of the Netherworld's Entrance and give him more experience.
He just wasn't sure if the demons or devils would make a move at that time.
If they did, it would be troublesome.
But all he could do now was to make sufficient preparations for it.
If there was really no other way, he still had his master.
So far, he was still living under the protection of his master.
He was still on the path of growth. He hoped that he could grow up to be comparable to his master as soon as possible.
When he arrived at the courtyard, Jiang Lan saw a figure.
She stood in front of the vegetative egg, watering it with spirit liquid.
She looked serious.
It was his Senior Sister who took the form of Xiao Yu.
Jiang Lan relaxed a little when he saw that it was his Senior Sister.
It seemed that his Senior Sister's Tribulation Transcendence was indeed smooth and there were no hiccups.
Xiao Yu lifted her head and saw Jiang Lan. She walked out of the courtyard and came before Jiang Lan.
"Junior Brother, let me tell you some good news." Xiao Yu's face was filled with excitement.
She put her hand behind her back and waited.
She was waiting for Jiang Lan to ask.
"What good news?" Jiang Lan asked.
He asked the question because he knew that his Senior Sister was waiting for him to ask.
"I'm an adult now." Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes and smiled at Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan was stunned.
Was Senior Sister saying that she could get married?
"Do you still want to eat this?" Jiang Lan took out the candied fruit and asked.
He had bought it when he was free.
He also met the Eighth Prince then.
As expected, the Eighth Prince told him about the Underground Devil's Race obtaining a Deity Position.
Jiang Lan only reminded him to be careful of these people.
The Eighth Prince knew of five Deity Position titles, but little did he know that one of them was fake.
The name of Imperial Lord Xi He's Deity Position should be unknown to others.
Only he knew of it.
The summit leaders of Kunlun should know about this as well.
However, it was of no use to them. After all, all of their cultivation bases were ridiculously high.
Until now, he had no idea what cultivation realm they were at.
He could not even see through his Martial Aunt Zhu Qing, who was ranked the lowest.
This meant that the nine summit leaders of Kunlun were ridiculously powerful.
"Of course, why wouldn't I eat it?" Xiao Yu immediately snatched the candied fruit from Jiang Lan's hands.
"Being an adult doesn't prevent me from accepting gifts from my Junior Brother." Xiao Yu took a bite of the candied fruit and said.
However, while eating, she handed the wooden sword to Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan took the wooden sword and said.
"When did Senior Sister come down?"
"Before the sun rose, I had already started to clean Junior Brother's courtyard." Xiao Yu followed Jiang Lan into the courtyard and patted her chest.
"I'm an adult now. I'll protect Junior Brother from now on."
