On the fourteenth year he was out of Kunlun.
Jiang Lan opened his eyes.
He began to withdraw his power. At this moment, golden light blossomed from his body.
His flesh, blood, meridians, and bones were all covered in golden light.
His body was flawless from inside out.
He had successfully tempered his golden body and reached the Divine Soul Realm.
As such, he stepped into the perfected Heavenly Immortal Realm.
"Because of the acknowledgment of the heavenly Dao, my golden body showed signs of breaking through and it has also allowed me to enter the final level of soul tempering."
Jiang Lan was rather surprised. It was also because of this that he spent a bit more time in seclusion.
Otherwise, he could have left this place a few years ago.
At that time, he had obtained the recognition of the heavenly Dao.
He had perfected his Dao.
However, he never expected the recognition of the Dao to cause an advancement in his cultivation realm. He managed to enter the perfected Heaven Immortal Realm earlier than expected.
But this perfection was different from the past.
There was still his golden body which had yet to reach perfection.
Only his cultivation had reached perfection.
"I feel that I am far weaker than that demon back then. It seems that the Heaven Immortal Realm focuses more on the golden body."
Jiang Lan looked at his hands and experienced his own strength.
However, he felt that it was far inferior to Fei Yuan, whom he had encountered at Kunlun.
"Looks like that person should already have a perfected golden body. What he was lacking was probably just the recognition of the Dao."
Jiang Lan understood.
Many people would be trapped on gaining acknowledgment of the Dao.
Although some people were also stuck in their progress of perfecting their golden body, the numbers were small.
As long as one put in a lot of effort, most would be successful in cultivating a perfected golden body.
Advancing to become a Heaven Immortal was equivalent to advancing a step further. There were indeed some dangers.
On the other hand, finding one's Dao wasn't dangerous, yet it could only be chanced upon by luck.
Some people were able to understand and discover their own Dao but there were some who would never be able to do so.
Let alone reaching the level of being recognized by the heavenly Dao.
"It seems like my luck is pretty good."
With enough effort, one could get lucky.
Sometimes, even if luck came, if one did not work hard enough, they could only watch as the opportunity floats past.
Opportunities were given only to those who were prepared.
Therefore, he could not relax.
As Jiang Lan was thinking about this, he suddenly felt someone approaching from outside.
There had been some ferocious beasts that had approached him over the years, but they had not been able to enter his array formation. Why had they entered this time?
"Someone with high attainments in array formations?"
Jiang Lan was a little confused, but he soon felt that something else was interfering with his formation.
Fog.
Instantly, he thought of the fog that would appear in the Desolate Stone Forest.
The fog here was indeed a little strange, but if Jiang Lan didn't go up, he naturally wouldn't be affected.
The fog was also a form of protection for him.
He planned to wait for the people above to leave before going out.
Then, he would return to Kunlun.
He would then say that he had completed his Tribulation Transcendence.
Next, he would just wait for the arrangements of the various summit leaders.
Calculating the time since he had entered the sect, this year should be his 584th year.
He was a bit faster in advancing to become an immortal as compared to a genius, but it wasn't too ridiculous.
Human geniuses usually achieved immortality in about 600 years. There were actually very few who managed to break through before that.
It required many opportunities and resources.
"They're coming in."
Jiang Lan felt two people entering his array formation.
Just above.
"Two demons? They both have a Void Refinement cultivation base."
They were indeed not as strong as Heaven Immortals, but Jiang Lan remained vigilant. The unknown represented danger.
He naturally had to take it seriously.
"What is this place?" A voice sounded from above.
At this moment, the two stone demons were looking around the rubble.
Somewhat amazed.
They were carrying boulders in their hands. After all, they had been working for years and they were used to this.
Even when they came to an unknown place, they still did not let it go.
"I felt something pulling at us just now, but we suddenly stopped here. It looks like we fell into a fog and got lost," said the taller stone demon.
"I also feel like we've been walking in circles," the smaller stone demon said.
"Let's rest for a while." The tall stone demon tried to lower the boulder.
Soon, they stood at the side and looked around helplessly.
There weren't many boulders here, and there was quite a lot of gravel.
But it was impossible to determine the direction.
"Let's take a break before we find a way back," the tall stone demon continued.
"Yes." The smaller stone demon nodded before asking curiously,
"Why are we carrying boulders day and night?"
"I went near it last time. It should be a well. I don't know why it's so eerie. Later, I asked and heard…" The taller stone demon looked around and carefully said.
"It might be used to communicate with the endless abyss, otherwise known as the Netherworld. However, no one knows if it is true or not.
Anyway, it's not something we small demons can know. We're just in charge of moving rocks."
Jiang Lan lowered his eyebrows when he heard the voice above.
He wasn't sure if the two above were intentionally telling him whatever they were saying.
But…
Demons. Abyss. Netherworld.
With all these added up, did this mean that the demons were trying to open the passageway to the Netherworld?
"These two demons won't discover me."
Under his Eyes Of Truth, he could see through all disguises.
So far, he hadn't seen any disguises from these two.
"If someone deliberately arranged it, they should have sensed my existence. However, there has been no feedback over the years from my One Leaf Vision.
He didn't sense anything. The array formations also had no reactions.
Then the possibility of them being deliberately arranged to come here is infinitely close to zero."
Even if it was Imperial Lord Xi He who was looking prying upon his location, he would still discover it and there were very few people who could surpass Imperial Lord Xi He.
But he could not rule out the possibility too.
But why would someone of this level need to scheme against him?
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Lan decided to investigate.
The demons would definitely attack the entrance of the Netherworld again.
With this in mind, he began to make new preparations. He had already familiarized himself with all kinds of spell techniques, so there was naturally no problem.
He also checked some of his Dharma treasures.
There were those which were meant to help him escape, those which helped heal him, and those which temporarily increased his strength.
He examined them carefully.
Since he wanted to do it, he would go all out.
Once he discovered that it was really directed at his Ninth Summit.
Then, he would just disintegrate the danger.
Unless…
He was no match for the other party.
If that was the case, he would not force himself. However, he would still take the necessary action.
Then, he decided to sign in here first.
He did not sign it here when he first arrived at this place.
More than a decade had passed, so there should be a boost.
Moreover, it was easy to get certain items in certain areas.
If he received something that had something to do with the Netherworld passage, then the appearance of those two must have been a coincidence.
"System, I will sign in here."
Soon, a long-lost voice was heard.
[Ding!]
[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the gift of the Great Dao. You have obtained the Dharma treasure, the Netherworld Halberd.]
[Netherworld Halberd: It is formed in the depths of the Netherworld due to luck. It is formed through thousands of tribulations and is undefeated in all battles. Anyone that touches it will feel as if he has entered the Netherworld. Only those who do not fear inner demons can control it.]
Jiang Lan was surprised.
Although the treasure he had gotten was nothing related to the passage, it had something directly related to the Netherworld.
In other words, the Desolate Stone Forest here might be related to the Netherworld.
It seemed that building a deep well that connected to the Netherworld here was not baseless.
"I have no choice but to go. It's just right. Let's see how powerful this Netherworld Halberd is."
Before using it, he would naturally have to familiarize himself with it to prevent any accidents from happening.
If he held no advantage using this halberd, he would just use the Power of Nine Bulls.
