Chapter 246 - Entering Kunlun Temple
Chapter 246: Entering Kunlun Temple
After observing for a while, Jiang Lan realized that his master didn’t have any extra expression on his face.
It seemed as if he had expected what he had said.
It seemed that he didn’t particularly care about Martial Aunt Miao Yue.
“I feel like Martial Aunt Miao Yue has been playing with me from the very beginning.”
As he was thinking about his master’s retirement, Martial Aunt Miao Yue had said that she admired his master.
He subconsciously moved in that direction.
He did not know if he had fallen into Martial Aunt Miao Yue’s trap.
“If you want to hide, hide deeper. Don’t let anyone see through you,” Mo Zhengdong said to Jiang Lan.
“That’s because Master’s cultivation is too high,” Jiang Lan said in a low voice.
If an Essence Soul cultivator was able to hide his cultivation from a summit leader, that would then be a problem.
Moreover, there was no need to hide his cultivation if he could even hide it from the summit leaders.
Naturally, he had to have a cultivation base that could be detected.
Only his true cultivation must remain undetected.
Mo Zhengdong did not pay attention to this matter. Instead, he changed the topic.
“Something happened during Ba Country’s invasion. After your advancement, Kunlun will open the Kunlun Temple. As a personal disciple, you can enter the temple to ponder on the divine stone.”
“Kunlun Temple?” Jiang Lan was surprised.
Why did the Kunlun Temple suddenly open?
That imperial lord from before had also asked him to enter the temple.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the Kunlun Temple was opened. Is it opened in order for the other party to find him?
Jiang Lan had some guesses.
“The Kunlun Temple is located at the peak of Kunlun Mountain. It’s closed all year round and is located above the Kunlun Main Hall. Mist constantly envelops it.
The Kunlun Heart Sutra Divine Stone is placed inside. It is just that no one is able to comprehend the true Kunlun Heart Sutra up till now. However, not all personal disciples need to go.” Mo Zhengdong gave Jiang Lan a simple explanation.
Jiang Lan was surprised that the Kunlun Heart Sutra was in the Kunlun Temple.
The Kunlun Temple was located at the summit of Kunlun, so perhaps it contained a path of the Great Dao.
If he signed in there, the reward he would receive would definitely not be bad.
But…
It was too much of a coincidence. Imperial Lord Xi He was pretty dangerous.
If he was careless, he would be discovered.
It would be safest if he could go there the next time.
Furthermore, it would not be normal for the geniuses of the various summits to go to a mysterious place together.
This…
He might as well watch the ceremony at the Jade Pool.
Moreover, his master said that not all personal disciples needed to go.
His master was telling him that he didn’t have to go.
However, before Jiang Lan could say anything, Mo Zhengdong spoke first.
“Every summit has to send at least one personal disciple. If there’s someone to replace you, you can choose not to go.”
Jiang Lan: “…”
Was his master doing this on purpose?
The disadvantage of being the only personal disciple had become evident.
If they needed to send someone from the Ninth Summit, he was definitely the one that needed to go.
The advantage was that he did not need to worry about his Junior Brothers and Sisters causing trouble.
If the Junior Brother of the Eighth Summit who had asked him for guidance in swordsmanship was a Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit…
Then…
He had to worry more. That Junior Brother did not know how to keep a low profile at all.
It would bring great trouble to the Ninth Summit.
Therefore, since he had enjoyed the benefits of being the only disciple, he naturally had to accept the disadvantages.
“Disciple understands.” Jiang Lan nodded.
He would just take it as a trip to sign in.
…
Jiang Lan left the peak of the Ninth Summit and intended to return to continue cultivating.
It would be a pity to miss out on this opportunity.
However, since he was out, he decided to check if the Bejeweled Nectar Wine and Dao Comprehension Tea could be eaten together.
If he could, it would be much easier later.
At the library of the Ninth Summit.
Jiang Lan took out a book that was closer to the inside. He had read fewer books here.
It was mainly because the books here were mostly useless to him.
Very quickly, he found a book related to spirit medicines.
He wanted to see if there were any records of Dao Comprehension Tea and Bejeweled Nectar Wine.
Noon.
Jiang Lan placed the book back.
There were records of Dao Comprehension Tea and Bejeweled Nectar Wine, but there were no records of their compatibility.
“That’s true. No normal person would mix these two things together.”
They were unrelated to begin with.
Subsequently, Jiang Lan took out some magazines to see if there were any mentions of titles like Imperial Lord.
After reading for a long time, he saw an interesting piece of news.
There was once an immortal in the Southern Wilderness who celebrated his friend’s advancement to the Heaven Immortal Realm and brought out a bottle of thousand-year-old wine.
Unexpectedly, his good friend’s alcohol tolerance was not good, and he got drunk for several years.
This immortal had once heard that tea could cure wine, so he took out an immortal tea unique to the Eastern Wasteland, Brightmoon Tea.
After feeding it to his good friend, who would have thought that he would become even drunker?
Several years of drunkenness evolved into decades of drunkenness.
Many years later.
He came to the conclusion that tea did not cure drunkenness.
…
Jiang Lan was surprised to read this.
Tea did not cure drunkenness, and it could even make the drunk become worse.
If so…
What he thought of was not impossible.
Then, he flipped through the book again. As expected, there were no records of Imperial Lords or Emperors.
After reading for a while longer, he left the library.
The night was approaching. It was time to cultivate.
Once one’s cultivation state was raised to the True Immortal Realm, it would take quite a bit of time for one to continue advancing.
Cultivation was bound to be somewhat boring.
Fortunately, Jiang Lan was used to this.
For 270 years, he had been like this.
He cultivated in seclusion and rarely went out.
The Netherworld Entrance’s eruption had lasted for another six years.
For the past six years, Jiang Lan had been cultivating in the Netherworld Cave.
Xiao Yu came once a year.
Every time, she would ask Jiang Lan to embed her sword with his Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent.
Every time she came, Jiang Lan could feel that Xiao Yu’s cultivation had increased by quite a bit.
He knew that Xiao Yu was also cultivating in seclusion.
Perhaps she would advance to immortality earlier than expected.
Jiang Lan naturally didn’t fall behind in the slightest. He had been cultivating all these years since the Netherworld Cave had erupted.
He originally wanted to try comprehending the Dao, but he realized that comprehending the Dao could only be chanced upon by luck.
All these years, he had only encountered one epiphany.
The water that was dripping earlier sped up.
It was the embodiment of the Dao.
Once the drops of water formed a stream, he might have the qualifications to transcend and become a Heavenly Immortal.
After the eruption of the Netherworld Cave ended, Jiang Lan took back the vegetative egg and the Udumbara Flower.
He then continued his long-term stay in the Netherworld Cave.
They had not changed in a hundred years.
There was no problem with their life force either.
In theory, it was impossible for them to persist until now, but they had miraculously survived until now.
It was hard to find such worry-free pets.
Even the flowers outside the courtyard made him worry more.
At dawn.
The night was fading, and the starlight was beginning to sink into the mountains.
A red sun leaped out of the mountain.
Jiang Lan sat in the courtyard.
He did not do anything else. Instead, he took out the Catoptric Deflection book.
Observing the Catoptric Deflection allowed him to gain some insights into the Dao, as though it allowed him to enter a more ethereal state.
It allowed him to see the changes in the world.
After some time, he might be able to gain an epiphany.
After the eruption of the Netherworld Entrance ended, there was no need for him to remain in seclusion.
Under the sunlight, he calmed himself down and did some daily things.
He decided to let nature take its course.
In the dark night, he began to cultivate and increase his cultivation.
He wanted to advance to the mid-stage True Immortal Realm as soon as possible.
…
…
Jade Pool.
Lin Siya came to the edge of the Jade Pool again.
“Senior Sister, I’ve done some experiments. The way to achieve the best effect of stretching is still debatable.”
“…”
“Junior Sister, don’t you cultivate? Why are you spending your time researching such a matter?”
Ao Longyu felt like her embarrassing past was being dug out continuously.
But…
She could also listen to what her Junior Sister had to say.
