Chapter 322: Imperial Lord Xi He Can’t Leave Kunlun?

In the main hall of the Fifth Summit, Jiang Lan roughly knew his mission.

He did not reject it.

He was happy to set up an array formation for his Senior Sister.

“The G.o.ddess should still have a few decades before her tribulation. In these few decades, you can think about the array formation and set it up. But you need to know one thing.” Miao Yue’s voice could be heard.

“The Dragon Race is different from humans and the Jade Pool region is special. Therefore, your past experience in setting up array formations might not be useful. Don’t wait until it’s too late before you test and try your array formation. Do you understand?”

Jiang Lan listened attentively. He did have some achievements in array formations.

However, being overly confident would bring fatal danger to Xiao Yu and himself.

He would weigh the pros and cons of everything carefully. He would also get his Martial Aunt to help him check and ensure that nothing would go wrong.

Only then could he be at ease.

“I will obey Martial Aunt’s instructions,” Jiang Lan said seriously.

“Will it affect your cultivation?” Miao Yue asked again.

“No.” Jiang Lan shook his head.

Miao Yue looked at Jiang Lan with a faint smile.

“You’ve been cultivating less than expected.”

“Yes.” Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

“I usually cultivate at night and read books during the day.”

“Do you treat a hundred years like a day?” Miao Yue asked curiously.

“It’s not that exaggerated.” Jiang Lan shook his head.

Every year, he would accompany Xiao Yu for four days. During those four nights, he would embed her wooden sword with his sword intent.

Therefore, it could only be said to be treating three months as a day.

“Is there anything you want to ask?” Miao Yue looked at Jiang Lan and asked.

“For example, did your master tell you about what he was like when he was young?”

Hearing this, Jiang Lan was rather curious, but he had a feeling that if he asked, he would be brought into another trap by his Martial Aunt.

It would make it more troublesome for him to find a wife for his master in the future.

Finally, he shook his head.

“I want to wait until I’m stronger to get to know him better.”

…

After leaving the Fifth Summit’s main hall, Jiang Lan took a look at the sun that was already half gone.

“I can barely count this as going back before dark.”

With this thought in mind, he headed down the mountain peak.

He did not fly back on his sword.

He planned to walk back. Doing so allowed him to meet people and also hear if anything had happened in the Grand Desolate World during the past seven years.

Naturally, he became more and more proficient in the Loneliness Spell as his cultivation level increased.

Even ordinary Human Immortals might not be able to discover him immediately.

However, those with special abilities would naturally counter the Loneliness Spell.

For example, the Golden Core who was killed by the two summit leaders and the Eighth Summit’s disciple who was severely injured previously.

He was born with a Sword Bone and was extremely talented, but his personality was a little too brash.

He wondered if he was still alive.

If he himself was so flamboyant, he didn’t know where he would be buried.

He felt that there were many people who had their eyes on him and that there were always some people who wanted to kill him.

There were the people from the Heavenly Human Race, Demon Race and the Dragon Race who had their eyes on him.

But as the situation developed, the Dragon Race and the Demon Race seemed to have changed their att.i.tudes.

Only the Heavenly Human Race remained the same.

Jiang Lan did not wish for them to change either.

After all, he had promised Feng Ji to send everyone from the Heavenly Human Race down to accompany him.

Jiang Lan wondered if Feng Ji was waiting for his people in the Netherworld.

They would probably be bolder when they were all gathered.

Before long, Jiang Lan arrived at the forest below the Ninth Summit.

In the past, he had encountered a few enemies in this forest, but his cultivation was not high at that time.

Now…

He suddenly wished that they could appear again. This was probably the psychological change brought by becoming stronger.

The increase in his cultivation level affected him more or less.

But…

No one was looking for trouble with him now.

Be it the spies of the Heavenly Human Race or the demons.

None of them would attack him.

Because spies rarely had the cultivation base of a Human Immortal.

Now that he was at the early-stage Void Refinement Realm, those spies were no match for him.

Thus, he would not encounter those people again.

As expected.

He returned to the Ninth Summit safely, and no one had their eyes on him along the way.

After a few years, he could try going out without using his Loneliness Spell.

On the way back, although he met people talking, he did not hear any clear news.

The great powers of the Grand Desolate World were still fighting. Apart from the Heavenly Human Race who had the advantage, the other factions were evenly matched.

It was the same for Ba Country and the demons.

“It feels a little strange.”

When Jiang Lan returned to the Netherworld cave, he felt that the demons shouldn’t be weak.

“Their Deity Position had been manifested for more than a hundred years. In theory, they should have an advantage, but I’ve never heard of any signs of reversal.”

Could the Deity Position not affect the situation, or was it that one could not partic.i.p.ate in the fights after obtaining a Deity Position?

Jiang Lan thought about it carefully and realized something.

He thought of the person he was constantly being wary of, Imperial Lord Xi He.

“Every time I see Imperial Lord Xi He, it’s always in the form of his aura, and he can only unleash a single strike.

His understanding of the Deity Position surpa.s.ses everyone else, and the degree of control he has is also not something others can compare to. If that’s the case, why is it that he only appears in the form of a wisp of aura?”

Jiang Lan started to guess.

“Is Imperial Lord Xi He unable to leave Kunlun? Imperial Lord Xi He shouldn’t be the only one. Are Imperial Lord Qiongou and Ancestral Dragon Cang Yuan unable to leave their territories too?”

Jiang Lan wasn’t sure, because he didn’t have any regional restrictions.

Perhaps it was because he was weak, or perhaps it was because he could not understand the Deity Position like the others?

“There’s another possibility. They’re using the Deity Position to do something else, like… Advancing to a higher realm.”

Jiang Lan had many guesses, but these things were still too far off for him.

The only thing he could do now was to guard against these people.

It was because he who possessed the Deity Position definitely had sufficient value.

Shaking his head, Jiang Lan began cultivating.

Only by becoming strong enough.

Could he not be controlled by others.

The power of the Dao began to temper his body.

Because of the fortuitous opportunity obtained in the inn, it made it much easier for him to use and comprehend the Dao.

Although he had yet to gain an epiphany, as time pa.s.sed, he would slowly gain enlightenment.

The next day.

He watered the vegetative egg with spirit liquid.

Jiang Lan then rode his sword towards the Jade Pool while feeling the autumn wind.

He intended to understand the terrain of the Jade Pool and understand his Senior Sister’s cultivation technique.

One day was naturally not enough, so he was prepared to disturb his Senior Sister for a long time.

He did not know if his Senior Sister would be happy or not.

…

“I’m not happy.”

His Senior Sister who was in the form of Xiao Yu glared at Jiang Lan and said.

“Doesn’t that mean Junior Brother will see the scene of me coming out of the water every day?”

Jiang Lan closed his eyes and thought to himself. There was nothing much to see.

Xiao Yu looked adorable, but…

There was nothing to see.

If making a fool of herself was considered, then there was certainly something to see.

“Then Senior Sister can temporarily stay on the sh.o.r.e or I can wait outside for Senior Sister to come out of the Jade Pool before I come in.”

Jiang Lan said softly.

“That won’t do.” Xiao Yu shook her head.

“As a senior sister, it’s only right for me to give in to Junior Brother. I’ll suffer a little. I will let Junior Brother in, but you have to close your eyes.”

“Can’t I turn my back?” Jiang Lan asked.

“No, if your back is facing me, I will easily discover you if you peek.”

“…”

His Senior Sister was really thoughtful.

“Then Senior Sister can actually choose not to enter the Jade Pool for a short period of time.”

“It’s not impossible, but I can’t do whatever Junior Brother says. I’m the Senior Sister.”

“…”

“Didn’t you say that you will listen to me for the next hundred years? What a fickle dragon.” Jiang Lan thought.
