Jiang Lan returned to the Ancient Imperial Court.
He had also cut the connection. He had to leave.
There were many reasons. Above the canyon, he felt some gazes on him.
His appearance was too eye-catching. He couldn’t stay here for long.
Furthermore, he was in front of the gate of the Ancient Imperial Court. He only knew of this place because of Imperial Lord Xi He.
And some people who were not weaker than Imperial Lord Xi He might also know about this door.
In other words, Heavenly Human Yunxiao might come here, or perhaps he was already on his way here.
Even though he hadn’t suffered any injuries during this battle, danger might be descending at any moment.
He had to get out of here.
As for the Eighth Prince and the others, there was no problem with them.
He could still sense this.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Lan wanted to leave the Ancient Imperial Court.
However, he had just taken a step when he stopped.
He suddenly thought of a possibility. What would happen if he ran into Heavenly Human Yunxiao along the way?
At that time, he would have to leave immediately. Although he did not know where he would be the next time he came up, it was possible that he would be at the same place.
If that was the case, it would be extremely dangerous.
However, if he left the Heaven Realm now, even if Heavenly Human Yunxiao came, he would not know whether he had left or he had returned from here.
Without any hesitation.
Jiang Lan planned to leave the Heaven Realm on the spot.
Although it might be safer to retreat after returning to the Ancient Imperial Lower Palace, it was also the most dangerous.
Retreating from the Heaven Realm here was the most suitable choice.
He could also treat this as an experiment to see whether he would appear here again.
However, there was a bit of pity. This was the Ancient Imperial Court’s entrance. If he could sign in here, there would definitely be extraordinary things.
Unfortunately, he needed his main body to sign in.
After dissolving the halberd in his hand, Jiang Lan looked around to make sure that he didn’t leave any traces behind before he vanished on the spot.
He retreated from the Heaven Realm.
Following the connection of the Deity Position, he returned to the Netherworld Cave.
…
At this moment, Jiang Lan suddenly opened his eyes.
Without any delay, he began to observe himself.
This time, he had exited the Heaven Realm differently from before, so he needed to check if there were any problems.
A moment later.
“There’s no problem at all, nor is there any discomfort.”
“It doesn’t seem to have any impact. It’s just—”
Jiang Lan raised his head and looked at the sky above the Netherworld Cave. His gaze seemed to pierce through the Netherworld Realm and arrived in the boundless sky above.
“I don’t know whether I will be in the Ancient Imperial Lower Palace or the Ancient Imperial Court the next time I go up.”
He wasn’t going to try so soon. It was better for him to wait a few decades first.
This was to prevent him from encountering Heavenly Human Yunxiao who might be waiting for him at the gate.
There shouldn’t be any danger at that time. Of course, he had to be prepared when he went up again.
If there was danger…
He could only try his best to step into the limit of immortality and then make a trip to the Central Plains.
If he tried to assassinate Heavenly Lord Yunxiao, he would not have to worry about being ambushed.
Or he could enter from the First Summit and head to the Heaven Realm with his real body.
This, however, should be difficult.
If possible, Imperial Lord Xi He might have done so already.
Of course, it was also possible that Imperial Lord Xi He was not able to leave Kunlun.
“There’s no rush. It’s still very far. Let’s enter seclusion first.”
He was not in a hurry to read the book that explained the Deity Position.
After seeing the gates of the Ancient Imperial Court, he needed to digest everything he had learned recently.
When his mental state stabilized, he would continue to read the book that elaborated on one’s Deity Position.
Without much thought, he began his seclusion.
He wanted to see how long it would take for him to advance to become a mid-stage Celestial Immortal.
Of course, he still needed to familiarize himself with his realm for now. As he had left too quickly previously, he still wasn’t familiar with his current cultivation realm.
The sun and moon alternated, and the stars moved.
Four years passed in a flash.
During this period of time, he had seen array formations, tended the flowers, and cleaned the weeds.
During this period of time, the Eighth Crown Prince came a few times, saying that he had gone out to hunt for heavenly humans.
All his trips were vivid stories.
They were crafted based on facts, together with some unrelated descriptions.
It was rather interesting.
Jiang Lan gave an objective assessment after hearing this.
He praised him.
Then, the Eighth Prince asked how to pay respects and repay the person who suddenly appeared then. He was referring to the Unparalleled Fist God.
They wanted to know what the price for calling upon him was.
This question wasn’t easy to answer. In the end, Jiang Lan asked the Eighth Prince and the others to bring some roasted wild animals and peanuts to a distant mountain peak before reading out the name of the Fist God.
That would do.
Later on, he heard a sound and sent down a bolt of lightning to kill those things.
They turned into dust.
He had taken the offerings.
But something unexpected happened. Perhaps the Eighth Prince and the youth felt that once was insufficient to show their sincerity.
Hence, they would send it to him every month.
By the third time, he had already stopped responding.
Only then did they stop.
But after a year, they changed the taste of the roasted wild animals and went on…
He did not respond either.
He went into seclusion peacefully.
In these four years, he had familiarized himself with the Celestial Immortal Realm. He had read the “Celestial Immortal Realm” book that his master had given him. For a Celestial Immortal to reach perfection, one had to pave one’s own Dao path.
One needed to separate his own Dao from one that was inherent in the world and step onto a Dao that belonged to him alone.
This was the only way for one to avoid the great calamities.
Upon reaching the Celestial Immortal Realm, things were different from before. To advance, one needed to have enough comprehension of the Dao.
In the past, if one wanted to advance to the late-stage or perfected stage of each major realm, as long as one had enough time, one would not face many problems.
However, this was not the same when it came to the Celestial Immortal Realm.
It was impossible to force one’s insights into the Dao.
Jiang Lan wasn’t too conflicted, but he was still far from advancing to mid-stage.
He had just entered this realm and nothing could be rushed.
He had only entered the sect for 630 years. It was already considered very fast for him to reach the early-stage Celestial Immortal Realm within this timeframe.
Based on the previous situation, it would take him more than two hundred years to advance to become a mid-stage Celestial Immortal. However, with his current understanding of the Dao, advancing was not a problem.
But his cultivation speed was still affected by the Dao.
Some pills and natural treasures could also affect it.
The Netherworld Cave’s help had begun to weaken. The aid of the Goddess Diagram was still there. The elixirs he obtained through signing in with the system could still help him advance.
Furthermore, his comprehension of the Dao hadn’t stopped yet.
If his comprehension of Dao improved further, he could complete his advancement in about a hundred years with everything else supplementing his cultivation.
At that time, he would become a mid-stage Celestial Immortal.
Was it slow?
Actually, it was very fast. Even if it was just two hundred years, it was ridiculously fast.
This was because of the Deity Position.
Others might not even be able to advance in a thousand years.
And having a Deity Position would indeed make people cultivate much faster.
“From the looks of it, Heavenly Human Yunxiao will soon become a Dao Immortal.”
Heavenly Human Yunxiao had forgone his feelings, which was why he had the Deity Position. Or rather, it was because of this that the experts of the Heavenly Human Race had given it to him.
Because the most promising person was the heavenly human who managed to forgo his emotions.
“When the time comes, I wonder how strong he is. Both of us will be at the Dao Immortal Realm then. Can I win him?”
Jiang Lan didn’t know, even though he had never lost to anyone in the same cultivation realm.
However, the fact that the heavenly human had forgone his emotions was something that ordinary people couldn’t compare to.
He could not underestimate the other party at all.
After pondering for a moment, he once again entered the rhythm of seclusion.
He read books during the day and cultivated at night.
He also watched the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening.
He didn’t want to gain enlightenment, he just wanted to deepen his understanding of the Dao.
He was trying to create a Dao that belonged to him.
With his understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, he wanted to extend his Dao that could interfere with the inherent nature of Heaven and Earth.
Before stepping out, one needed to be sufficiently prepared. Only with a solid foundation would one be able to see even more. Only then would one be able to find a good direction and step out.
If he could walk out completely, he would be qualified to become a Dao Immortal.
Of course, the reason he continued his closed-door cultivation was because his Senior Sister hadn’t left her closed-door cultivation either yet.
He also needed to increase his cultivation as soon as possible.
He needed to accompany his Senior Sister in the future.
In the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan closed his eyes and continued to stabilize his Celestial Immortal Realm. This way, he could advance to the mid-stage Celestial Immortal Realm earlier.
In his mind, he opened the Goddess Diagram.
A white dragon was circling the Jade Pool.
Over the past few years, his Senior Sister had never moved. From the looks of it, she still needed a few more years..
