Chapter 199 - Becoming A True Immortal
Chapter 199: Becoming A True Immortal
In the middle of the night.
Dark clouds covered the moon.
Someone flew over the forest on a sword.
Jiang Lan slowly walked out from behind the tree.
He only glanced at Xu Feng’s position before leaving.
He did not dare to stay any longer.
He was afraid that he would be discovered.
He used his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel to its limit and arrived at the forest before the Ninth Summit at an extreme speed.
After confirming that he was not being targeted, he removed his One Leaf Vision.
Under the night sky.
Jiang Lan walked on the main road at a moderate pace.
He didn’t seem like someone who had discovered anything or someone who was worried.
He walked steadily with a calm expression.
Although this was what it looked like on the surface, Jiang Lan’s heart was already stirring up waves.
He glanced at Xu Feng’s leftovers earlier and saw that all that remained was his clothes.
The clothes that were being weathered.
Before long, Xu Feng would leave nothing behind.
But why?
There was no doubt that Xu Feng had been sent by the Devil Race. What truly surprised Jiang Lan was why the two summit leaders would personally deal with a single Golden Core cultivator.
“Previously, the party from the Second Summit had already cleaned up a wave of traitors, so these two are definitely not here to clean up traitors. Is Xu Feng special? Or is he special to the First Summit?”
This possibility was the highest, but he had no idea in what way Xu Feng was special.
He had no way of figuring this out, nor did he intend to.
What he was most concerned about was that the Second Summit had been monitoring him.
He had to be more careful in the future.
Moreover, he would try his best not to get involved in fights.
Otherwise…
There was a chance he might be exposed.
But most of the time, it was not up to him.
Unless he changed his way of killing his enemies?
In the end, Jiang Lan gave up. From the looks of it, he only needed to act once in the near future.
That would be when the demons took action when the Netherworld’s Entrance erupts.
Although they were targeting the Ninth Summit in particular, this matter would definitely involve the entirety of Kunlun. It wasn’t peculiar for him to also be involved in this matter.
After returning to the Ninth Summit, Jiang Lan didn’t think too much about anything else and chose to enter seclusion instead.
What he had seen and heard today had indeed surprised him.
However, it would not affect him. What he needed was to continue cultivating and become stronger.
He would surpass his master, surpass the Sect Master, before becoming invincible in Kunlun. When he reached such a level, everything would be child’s play in his eyes.
If there was still danger, his fist which was imbued with the Power Of Nine Tribulations could resolve everything with one punch.
Inside the Netherworld Cave’s wooden house, Jiang Lan sat cross-legged and began cultivating.
He was mainly using immortal power to temper his body now.
It was not difficult for a late-stage Human Immortal like him to advance to the perfected Human Immortal Realm.
What he lacked most was time.
His master had told him that the Dragon Race was coming and he needed to accept the challenge.
Thus, there was a sufficient reason for him to remain in seclusion.
He just needed to pay attention to Xiao Yu.
It would take some time, but not much.
It wouldn’t affect his cultivation progress much.
…
…
The sun and moon alternated, and the four seasons changed.
The deep-sea did not feel this change much.
It did not seem to be affected by the change of the seasons and the age of time.
“We’re going to Kunlun in a few years?”
Ao Man looked at Ao Ye, eager for the upcoming trip.
The Demon Race had already been defeated by them, and the Dragon Race had achieved complete victory. Although they had paid a considerable price, but the Demon Race was in an even more tragic state.
Although he did not understand what the demons wanted to do.
Their scheme was definitely not small. Otherwise, they would not have been so crazy.
He had no idea.
As for whether the demons really had a big plan behind their actions, he was not sure.
What if the demons really had a screw loose in their brain?
“Yes. Please do get ready for it, Eighth Highness. The mission this time is extremely important,” said Ao Ye.
He had been to Kunlun a few times and had been insulted every time. This time, he had to let Kunlun know what pain was.
He needed to let them know of the authority of the Dragon Race.
“Should I challenge my future brother-in-law?” Ao Man asked.
He had heard someone mention this before.
He did want to teach that human a lesson.
Marrying their dragoness was not easy.
“The main purpose of our trip this time is not to challenge the young experts of Kunlun. Your Highness, you don’t have to worry about the First Summit to the Eighth Summit. However, Your Highness will have to personally handle the representative of the Ninth Summit,” explained Ao Ye.
This time, they were sending many dragons over to Kunlun. This party was the largest ever to be sent to Kunlun.
Furthermore, the Dragon Race’s victory over the demons was astonishing.
Would Kunlun be able to withstand it?
This time, they were going to vent their anger.
More than 90 years ago, Kunlun had simply pressed their Dragon Race’s faces to the ground and even stepped on them a few times.
That was too much.
If not for the fact that the dragons were busy with the war against the demons, they would have already started a war with Kunlun.
This time, they were going to retrieve their dignity and see if Kunlun could still be as unyielding as they were 90 years ago.
Everything would begin with the Eighth Prince defeating Jiang Lan.
“Leave everything to me.” Ao Man was very confident in himself.
He was an innate immortal, and he was already a perfected Human Immortal.
In a few decades, he would be able to enter the True Immortal Realm.
Among the dragons, there were few who were more talented than him.
It was easy for him to deal with an Essence Soul human.
Ao Ye thought so too. The dragons believed that the Eighth Highness was blessed by the four seas when he was born as an immortal.
He was extremely powerful.
He was not someone humans could compare with.
“With your highness’ strength, even the strongest human can’t survive a single strike of yours.” Ao Ye nodded.
Ao Man patted his chest and wanted to agree, but…
He suddenly thought of the human who shattered the red dragon with one punch.
He decided to forget about it.
That scene was too terrifying.
They were clearly on the same level, yet the other party had killed the dragon as if he was killing an ant.
There was no need for even a second punch.
He would never want to meet such a terrifying human in his life again.
…
…
At the Jade Pool of Kunlun.
Ao Longyu sat at the edge of the mountain.
Her gaze stopped outside the mountain, in the direction of the Ninth Summit.
Today was the appointed day.
It was the day Jiang Lan would come to the Jade Pool to help her look at the soil here.
Then he would help her plant flowers.
“You only have the time to come after thirty years. Are you trying to break through?”
The last time she went to the Ninth Summit, she seemed to have sensed that Jiang Lan was about to break through.
“Is he currently at the mid-stage Essence Soul Realm?”
Ao Longyu thought for a moment and realized that Jiang Lan’s rate of advancement was still within the ranks of human geniuses.
It would be soon.
If Jiang Lan’s immortal ascension was successful, they would be married in another four hundred years.
“Marriage…”
She felt repulsed at the thought.
However, she was still trying hard to accept it.
This day would eventually come. Besides, she didn’t hate her Junior Brother. Sometimes, he would even make her very happy.
As for love, she still did not understand it.
Perhaps one day, she would understand.
If only she could understand it within four hundred years.
At this time, Ao Longyu sensed someone coming from outside. It was Jiang Lan.
Without any hesitation, she waved her hand.
She opened up a path for Jiang Lan.
Outside the Jade Pool, Jiang Lan arrived on his sword.
Thirty years had passed since he entered seclusion.
It was not that he only wanted to help Xiaoyu look at the soil and plant flowers after thirty years, but he needed to cultivate and read books regarding such aspects during this period.
If the situation wasn’t like how he had guessed previously, he wouldn’t be able to do anything about the Jade Pool’s soil if he was not well-read on such matters.
That would appear embarrassing.
Therefore, it was more suitable to come after making sufficient preparations.
Not long after, he saw Senior Sister Ao standing at the edge of the mountain peak.
She stood there quietly, her clothes fluttering in the wind and her waist-length hair swaying in the wind.
She was a peerless beauty.
She was as aloof and beautiful as ever.
