Chapter 178: Fifth Summit’s Mystic Realm
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For one to really become an immortal, one had to temper their bodies and fuse with their essence soul. Only then could they become true immortals.
Human Immortals could be considered immortals. However, it was more of a transitory phase.
This phase was neither too difficult nor too easy.
It all depended on one’s level of tempering. The process was dangerous and painful. If one was careless, one might die from one’s own immortal power.
However, if one spent more time and chose to temper it slowly, it wouldn’t be too dangerous.
What one needed in the Human Immortal Realm was not a talent in cultivation. Rather, one needed the talent to control one’s own strength.
Therefore, some people only needed four hundred years to reach the True Immortal Realm from the Human Immortal realm, while others could not succeed even after a thousand years.
There were even some who ended up stuck at the perfected Human Immortal realm.
It was not that they could not attempt to enter the next realm, but they did not dare to.
To advance to the next realm, one would need to burn his entire body with immortal power and fuse his essence soul with his body, allowing him to become an immortal.
It was extremely dangerous.
“Being in the Netherworld Cave, I can absorb and convert the energy I need at a faster rate. I also have the help of the Goddess Diagram. In other words, I still have enough advantages to speed up my tempering.”
Also, the Immortal Essence Pills and Blood Tempering Pills that I can obtain from signing in will also help me speed up my speed of tempering. The only thing I need to worry about is my endurance and control.”
Jiang Lan placed the book back.
His tolerance and control were not bad.
On top of that, his heart was more stable, so he should be able to enter the True Immortal Realm quickly.
Especially since he was now a late-stage Human Immortal.
The reason why he directly entered the late-stage Human Immortal Realm was because of the Dark Red Dragon Tribulation, also known as the Red Dragon Death Tribulation.
“The ignorant are truly fearless.”
Only after understanding what kind of heavenly tribulation he had faced previously did he realize how bold he had been back then.
It had been an extremely dangerous and rash attempt.
However, it was also because of the Red Dragon Death Tribulation that allowed him to temper his body and gave him sufficient strength.
That was why he could enter the late-stage Human Immortal Realm. so quickly
It was basically impossible for others.
After entering the True Immortal Realm, one would have to start comprehending the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
In the True Immortal Realm, there was the saying that one could become a Heaven Immortal after crossing another tribulation.
One of them should be related to the Dao. He did not find any detailed explanation.
Either he hadn’t discovered any related books or they were in the Kunlun library.
I should go and take a look if I get the chance.
Above the Heaven Immortal Realm, there were still many realms.
There was still a long way to go before he could become invincible in Kunlun.
However, becoming a late-stage Human Immortal within 200 years was already considered an impossible feat.
For an ordinary human, 200 years should only have allowed them to reach the mid-stage Essence Soul Realm. And this was the speed of a genius.
On the surface, his cultivation level was at the mid-stage Essence Soul realm. However, this was his hidden cultivation. The cultivation he showed to others was maintained at the early-stage Essence Soul Realm.
Those who weren’t talented enough to be called geniuses should still be at the late-stage Golden Core Realm.
The difference was obvious.
The gap would only grow larger.
After understanding the situation, Jiang Lan sat on the square.
After becoming an immortal, many things were useless to him now.
For example, the Self Mirror.
In the past, he could still fight with himself, but now, he naturally couldn’t.
At that time, he had never won against his phantom. Instead, he had seen many of his own shortcomings. There were no disadvantages to using it. After using it, he would know what to improve on.
From the looks of it now, he was not a seasoned veteran, but he was definitely experienced.
He still had many shortcomings in actual combat.
Most of them were due to the human heart and not due to the opponent’s moves.
Fortunately, he did not give the enemy any time.
After sitting in the square for a while and adjusting his state of mind, he took out the Catoptric Deflection book that the inn owner had given him.
As for what the book was, he did not know. He only knew that it was related to the spiritual inn.
Just as Jiang Lan was about to take a look, someone suddenly flew over on a sword.
The person landed on the square of the Ninth Summit.
“Is there bad news?”
Jiang Lan looked over.
Those who visited the Ninth Summit normally would not fly over on their swords unless it was an emergency.
Soon, he realized that he was wrong.
It was Xiao Yu.
Today, Xiao Yu was riding on her sword barefooted. A moment later, she landed on the square.
She still donned a blue and white outfit with a simple high ponytail.
“Junior Brother, did you also receive the mission to go to the mystic realm of the Fifth Summit?” Xiao Yu ran to Jiang Lan as soon as she landed and asked excitedly.
Didn’t she feel uncomfortable being barefooted?
Jiang Lan looked at Xiao Yu’s snow-white feet and wanted to ask.
Xiao Yu followed Jiang Lan’s gaze and lowered her head to look at her exposed feet. Then, she jumped lightly and said.
“It’s not the first time you’ve seen me without shoes. Do I not look good?”
“Senior sister doesn’t wear shoes because you want to look good?” Jiang Lan looked at Xiao Yu curiously.
“Previously, it was because I had been attacked and my shoe had spoilt. This time, Master’s pet took my shoe away,” Xiao Yu explained.
“Master has been cultivating in the Iceheart Lake and I can’t enter the place with shoes on. However, I realized that my shoes were gone when I came out. Since I’m only here to see you, I was not in a hurry to get new shoes.”
Jiang Lan nodded.
It was quite unexpected that an immortal cultivator would face such troubles.
Especially dragons like Xiao Yu.
However, it was fine if a child did not wear shoes. The dragons did not wear shoes either.
Speaking of dragons, he thought of the late-stage Human Immortal dragon.
It seemed younger than Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu’s talent was about the same as a human genius, or perhaps a little stronger. It was unknown what level she was at in the dragon race.
“Senior Sister, are you talking about the Fifth Summit party?” Jiang Lan asked.
“Yes, I heard from Master that the mystic realm of the Fifth Summit is very fun.” Xiao Yu came to Jiang Lan’s side.
She looked at the book in Jiang Lan’s hand curiously.
“Is this a spell technique that you want to cultivate?”
She’d learned a little about Catoptric Deflection before.
“Fun?” Jiang Lan was curious.
As for the Catoptric Deflection book he had in his hand, he passed it to Xiao Yu.
He felt that Xiao Yu should have read it before.
“That’s right. If not, what do you think those Golden Core cultivators are doing there?” Xiao Yu asked as she flipped through the book.
However, as she flipped through the book, she was puzzled. The book was blank.
There was no content in it.
“Junior Brother, where did you borrow this book from?” Xiao Yu opened the book and placed it in front of Jiang Lan as she asked curiously.
Jiang Lan was curious when he saw the blank page. He took the book and flipped through a few pages. They were all blank.
Wordless Heavenly Book?
“I borrowed it from the innkeeper. Does Senior Sister know about Catoptric Deflection?” After flipping through it for a while, Jiang Lan felt his heart stir.
However, he did not check it immediately. Instead, he closed the book first.
This book was not read with one’s eyes.
It was related to one’s mind.
“I do know about the spell technique, but it seems to be different from Junior Brother’s.”
Xiao Yu sat cross-legged with her chin resting on her hands. She looked extremely adorable.
She had willowy eyebrows and bright eyes.
Her appearance was very pleasing to the eye.
“Senior Sister, you had previously said that Golden Core cultivators had entered the Fifth Summit. What are they there for?”
The Catoptric Deflection that Xiao Yu had learned should be different from what he could learn from this book. Jiang Lan didn’t mention the matter again.
It was better to discuss about the matter of the Fifth Summit’s mystic realm.
From the looks of it, Xiao Yu should be going too.
When Xiao Yu went out openly, she would look like a normal adult.
She would be as bright as the moon.
At that time, he would be noticed again.
It seemed that the Kunlun people didn’t care about him being the center of attention.
However, this wasn’t a big deal.
“The Fifth Summit’s mystic realm is actually a maze with countless treasures in it. If one is lucky enough to enter at the Golden Core Realm, one has the chance to obtain a large number of treasures.”
“Is there no danger?”
“There is. Reportedly, that maze is an array formation. Thus, as long as one does not go too deep into it and has a Senior with high attainments in array formations accompanying, one’s life will rarely be in danger.”
This is also the reason why Fifth Summit’s Martial Aunt is the Summit Leader. Her attainments in array formations are extraordinary. ”
