Chapter 321 - Your Master Saw Me…
Chapter 321: Your Master Saw Me…
Both sides confronted each other.
Jiang Lan watched for a long time.
In the end, he could not infer anything accurate.
However, he realized that as long as the Eighth Prince was in Kunlun, even if he was not near him, it would be helpful in helping him control his Deity Position.
He was considered weak, while Imperial Lord Xi He and Ancestral Dragon Cang Yuan were extremely powerful.
They shouldn’t face the same trouble like him.
What was the use of the Eighth Prince to them?
Jiang Lan shook his head.
Without being strong enough, he would not be able to understand their thoughts.
At night, he returned to the Netherworld Cave to cultivate.
His cultivation was becoming stronger bit by bit but his comprehension of the Dao was not making any obvious progress.
But his heart had calmed down a lot.
He had never been anxious.
Four years passed, during which the dragons left Kunlun.
The Eighth Prince did not leave.
He still came to the Ninth Summit from time to time.
He would often talk about what happened at the inn.
He would help the youth at the inn and ask Jiang Lan how to woo the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race.
Jiang Lan couldn’t give any good answers, so he could only say that the youth should just cultivate properly for now.
“Getting stronger is always right.”
The Eighth Prince said that he had almost been able to return.
Kunlun had also agreed, but for some reason, the higher-ups from his race had given up on him at the last minute.
The Eighth Prince was also baffled.
Jiang Lan naturally didn’t know the answer.
Perhaps the Dragon Race had discovered something midway.
Jiang Lan came to the Ninth Summit’s library. Seven years had passed since the Witchcloud Gathering started.
No one in Kunlun mentioned about it anymore.
However, Jiang Lan did not attract any attention during the Witchcloud Gathering, so he did not need to hide in the Ninth Summit to reduce his presence.
He was only worried that there would be danger left behind from the Witchcloud Gathering.
According to the Eighth Prince, nothing happened near the inn.
Occasionally, there would be small fights.
However, most of them were internal conflicts among those from Kunlun.
The only thing that surprised him was that a lost member of the Qilin Race had appeared near the inn.
She had been lost for seven years and had yet to walk out of Kunlun.
Jiang Lan was wary of this. Sometimes, this could also be used by his enemies as a form of disguise.
He was very vigilant about anything unusual.
He did not want to look down on the other party and pay the price.
He had met many such people before. Many people would subconsciously look down on him.
In the end, they had all lost their lives to him.
He could not make such a mistake.
In the library.
Jiang Lan picked up a book related to array formations and started reading.
It had been seven years.
It was time for him to revisit the study of array formations so that he could make some new discoveries.
But this time, he didn’t plan to go to the mountainside to read. Instead, he planned to cut the grass while reading.
He brought the book to the mountain road. With every step he took, the weeds beneath his feet would be pulled up.
It was the function of an array formation, with effects similar to that of a repelling array formation.
It could draw weeds up from the soil.
Normally, he would use simple spells to clean up the place.
He would try to finish it in a day or two.
Only when it was special would he spend a month or two dealing with it personally.
Jiang Lan walked for a day and read books on array formations.
He also plucked weeds for an entire day.
Only by doing so would the path leading to the Ninth Summit seem like a normal path.
Just as he was about to go back and cultivate, he received a message.
It was from his master.
After reading it, he revealed a strange expression.
“Martial Aunt of the Fifth Summit wants to see me? And she says that she has something important to tell me?”
Jiang Lan was on guard immediately.
He had a feeling that the Fifth Summit’s Martial Aunt definitely had other plans in mind.
However, if his master wanted him to go, nothing bad would happen.
Helpless, he put away the book and the weeds.
He rode his sword towards the Fifth Summit.
It was still dark. It would be best if he could come back before dark.
The peaks of the various summits were already covered in a sunset glow.
Jiang Lan, who was flying on his sword, knew that it was unlikely for him to return before dark.
The wind was not strong, but it gently blew at the corner of his clothes.
There was a hint of coolness.
It was the autumn wind.
After a while.
In front of the Fifth Summit’s main hall.
This place was completely different from the Ninth Summit. There were always people flying on their swords.
In front of the array formation mountain, there were many people gathered.
It was extremely lively.
They were all from Kunlun.
The Ninth Summit was completely different from the Fifth Summit.
Being on the Ninth Summit gave him a feeling that he was the only one in the entire mountain.
His master probably felt the same.
“Senior Brother, you can enter now.”
“Thank you, Junior Sister.”
Jiang Lan thanked the Golden Core Junior Sister who had reported his arrival and headed into the main hall.
“Greetings, Martial Aunt.”
Jiang Lan stood at the bottom of the great hall, lowering his head and speaking respectfully.
At the top of the hall sat the Fifth Summit’s summit leader, Miao Yue.
Right now, Miao Yue was looking at Jiang Lan with a veil over her face, her eyes carrying a hint of a smile.
“Do you still remember what I told you in this hall?”
Miao Yue leaned forward, looking at Jiang Lan with one hand supporting her chin.
“Martial Aunt, please explain.” Jiang Lan lowered his head.
Back then, his Martial Aunt had said a lot so he wasn’t too sure what she was referring to exactly.
Although he had a guess.
But…
He would not believe that was what his Martial Aunt was referring to.
This was the reason why it had been delayed until now.
Miao Yue smiled but did not answer this question.
“The Goddess has already reached the perfected Void Refinement Realm, and her immortal ascension is imminent. One’s tribulation requires some array formations. Do you know about this?”
“I’ve read up on some Tribulation Transcendence Array Formations.” Jiang Lan nodded.
He did have some understanding of these things. Back when he became an immortal, he had set up many formations.
However, he didn’t use them in the end.
If Senior Sister were to transcend the tribulation, she should be able to use them.
At that time…
He had flown straight into the heavenly tribulation, so he could not use the array formations he had set up.
“I heard that you can go up the Jade Pool, right?” Miao Yue asked again.
There was no need for Jiang Lan to hide this, so he generously admitted.
“Yes.”
“Have you seen the Goddess entering the Jade Pool or bathing?” Miao Yue looked at Jiang Lan with a smile.
Jiang Lan was silent.
He had only seen the bathing scene.
Of course, Jiang Lan didn’t answer this question.
There were some questions that were irrelevant and it was alright for him to just ignore it.
“You might not know, but your master has seen me bathing before.” Miao Yue suddenly said.
Jiang Lan was stunned.
He looked at his Martial Aunt in disbelief.
Puchi ~
Miao Yue laughed and continued.
“Alright, let’s get down to business.”
Jiang Lan nodded.
He was surprised and puzzled.
He still did not know if what his Martial Aunt had said was true or false.
She admired her master and was even seen bathing by him.
This…
No, this was not likely the case.
However, this undoubtedly made him choose his Martial Aunt Miao Yue as the number one candidate for becoming his master’s wife.
Actually, if it was true, he would be able to accept it even if he felt that it was a little dangerous.
But if what she said was fake…
Somehow, Jiang Lan had the feeling that he was being teased.
“The Goddess is going to transcend her tribulation, and the best place to transcend her tribulation is in the Jade Pool. The more suitable the Tribulation Transcendence Array Formation is, the more useful it is.” Miao Yue looked at Jiang Lan and continued.
“So now you have two things to do. You need to check the terrain at the Jade Pool to see if you set up a suitable array formation there.
Secondly, draw an array formation diagram based on what you have analyzed. I will supplement it for you. There shouldn’t be any problems, right?”
“No,” Jiang Lan answered immediately.
He just needed to use the time originally meant to read books to accompany his Senior Sister.
