Chapter 159: Thousand Years Worth Of Providence
“When are you leaving?”
On the Ninth Summit, Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan as he spoke.
“These few days,” Jiang Lan replied.
Xiao Yu should be coming over in the next few days. He needed to enhance Xiao Yu’s wooden sword with the Dragon Slaying True Intent.
In the beginning, his Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent could only last for three years.
Later on, he had intentionally maintained the Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent for three years.
He wondered if three years was a sufficient duration for this trip of his.
After that, Jiang Lan left the peak of the Ninth Summit.
He needed to take care of some things and wait for Xiao Yu to arrive. He would also need to inform Xiao Yu of his long journey out of the sect.
He did not know how long he would be out for, so it was necessary for him to inform Xiao Yu about it.
In case she didn’t find him when she came.
Moreover, he was going out, so it was impossible for him to bring the vegetative egg and the Udumbara Flower with him.
If it was convenient for her, she could help water them every few years so that they would not wither.
These two had extremely tenacious vitality. It should be no problem to water them once a year or two.
When he was around, he watered the spirit herbs and plants every day. Such luxurious life for the plants would eventually pa.s.s.
Suffering was inevitable.
When he arrived at the courtyard, Jiang Lan took care of the flowers.
For some reason, he would take care of this place in advance.
After that, he would clean up the weeds on the road.
However, while he was taking care of it, Jiang Lan had some doubts.
His master had given him a thousand years’ worth of providence. Would it affect his sign-in?
If there was an impact, how much would it affect?
After some hesitation, Jiang Lan decided to find a place to sign in first.
However, he had to tend to the flowers first.
After spending some time, it was done.
Xiao Yu never came when the flowers were withering.
She came mostly when the flowers bloomed the most.
After taking a glance at the flowers, Jiang Lan left the Ninth Summit.
He wanted to find a decent place to sign in.
He had already signed in at the Kunlun Main Hall and the Kunlun Gate.
Then, Jiang Lan arrived at the place where the Kunlun Seniors had given their lectures previously.
This was also where the Kunlun disciples cultivated.
He decided to give it a try here.
There were many people here, but no one noticed Jiang Lan.
It was due to his nature Daoist spell, Loneliness.
It lowered his presence.
“System, I’m signing in here.”
[Ding!]
[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the gift of the Great Dao. You have obtained the divine power, Eyes Of Truth.]
[Eyes Of Truth: A pair of true eyes that see through the disguise of all living things. Nothing can hide from it.]
It was actually a divine power.
It was very difficult to obtain such a gift of Great Dao.
But this time, Jiang Lan was not very happy.
Because he was carrying a thousand years of providence on him.
With such providence, why couldn’t he get a fortuitous opportunity that could allow him to transcend and become an immortal?
Becoming an immortal was indeed difficult.
He sighed deeply in his heart.
Naturally, he would not be depressed over this. No matter how difficult the road was, he would still walk forward.
Even immortals could not stop him.
However, just as he was about to check the specific uses of the new divine power, the System’s voice sounded in his mind again.
[Ding!]
Hearing this voice, Jiang Lan was stunned.
He had never heard the system’s voice appearing again after signing in.
Unless there was a path of the Great Dao here.
However, when he first came over, the system did not inform him that there was a path of the Great Dao here.
He had been here before.
And he had never heard of this notification.
Then, why did the system’s voice appear?
Confused, Jiang Lan began to pay attention to the voice in his mind.
He wanted to see why the system had sounded.
He soon knew the answer.
[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the gift of the Great Dao. You have obtained the Creation of Heaven and Earth: The Creation Pill.]
[Creation Pill: The creation of heaven and earth. The gathering of the changes of heaven and earth and the deduction of all living things allows you to break through all bottlenecks.]
After the system’s announcement.
Jiang Lan didn’t return to his senses immediately.
He discovered that he had obtained the Creation Pill again.
This was the second time he had obtained the Creation Pill, but it was not because of the Great Dao’s gift, but because of his master’s thousand years of providence.
Jiang Lan heaved a sigh of relief.
He had finally obtained an immortal ascension opportunity.
Furthermore, there would be no chance of failure.
The only thing he had to worry about was transcending the tribulation.
From this, he discovered something.
A thousand years of providence was somewhat extraordinary.
It could almost change a person’s fate wholly, yet his master had used this thousand years of providence to help him become an immortal.
If he failed his master, he might never reach the end of the Dao path.
Even with the system.
Because he wouldn’t be able to get past himself.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Lan headed towards the Ninth Summit.
He would make some preparations for the next few days. After that, he would decide on the location where he would undergo his tribulation so that he could return as soon as possible.
No matter how safe it was outside, the Ninth Summit was the safest.
Along the way, Jiang Lan heard some news.
“Recently, the demons have been unable to do as they wish. It seems like they are about to lose. After fighting for a few more years, it should end soon.”
“Speaking of which, why did they start fighting?”
“It seems to be instigated by the demons. I don’t know the exact reason yet.”
“What will happen if the demons lose?”
“Who knows? But judging from the current situation, the Dragon Race can at most defeat the Demon Race. Any more would be difficult.”
“At first, I heard that the Dragon Race was at a disadvantage, but fifty years ago, the situation suddenly started to reverse.”
“Well, I think it was brought by the marriage alliance.”
“Marriage? What marriage?”
“The princess of the Dragon race is connected to Kunlun by marriage.”
“I’ve never heard of it. Senior Brother, tell me about it.”
When Jiang Lan heard this, he walked away.
He could not get any useful information even if he continued listening on.
However, it was surprising that the war between the Dragon Race and the Demon Race was about to end.
Of course, this shouldn’t matter to him.
Then he changed places.
He wanted to hear about the Heavenly Human Race.
“The flames of war really are everywhere in the Central Plains. I heard that the member of the Heavenly Human Race who had comprehended the Empyrean Scripture is fighting to his limits. As long as he appears, strange phenomena would appear in the sky.
Everyone has said that he was about to comprehend the realm of forgoing emotions. Recently, the Heavenly Human Race seems to have fought its way to the foot of Wutong Mountain. ”
“The Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race? The Heavenly Human Race must be really determined to make that genius able to forgo his emotions.”
“It’s said that there’s no limit to what he can do if he forgoes his emotions.”
“Recently, I have learned more about the Heavenly Human Race and realized that the Stairway to Heavens that the Senior Brother from the Ninth Summit had ascended is related to the Empyrean Scripture of the Heavenly Human Race.”
“I understand what you’re talking about as well. It seems that if one is able to ascend to the peak, one might be able to comprehend the Empyrean Scripture. Once one reaches the realm of forgoing emotions, one’s future will be unimaginable.”
“However, I heard that only the people of the Heavenly Human Race can achieve this.”
“Who is the Senior Brother of the Ninth Summit? Is there anyone in the Ninth Summit?”
Jiang Lan didn’t continue listening. Instead, he walked away.
Many years had pa.s.sed.
Many people did not know him, but some people would think of him easily when they remember his past achievements.
However, from their words, there was nothing outstanding about the disciples of the Ninth Summit.
Everyone kept describing him as someone with immense luck or pity him that he was unable to become a genius even with such resources.
His existence didn’t really attract anyone’s attention.
“These people are at war. I wonder if they’ll notice me. The Dragon Race and the Demon Race shouldn’t go that far, but it’s hard to say for the Heavenly Human Race. It also turns out that the Stairway To Heavens is linked to the Empyrean Scripture. The Heavenly Human Race is worried that I will comprehend the Empyrean Scripture?”
Was he willing to forgo his emotions?
Not at all.
However, the Heavenly Human Race didn’t think this way, which was why the Heavenly Human Race was likely still staring at him.
Now he faced a problem.
The people of the Heavenly Human Race might still be staring at him.
Should he try to lure them out when he left Kunlun?
If they were lured out and killed, the Heavenly Human Race would fall into a spot where they were blinded by what was happening in Kunlun again.
If he were to allow the other party to stay alive and leave secretly, it would be easy for him to be found out.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Lan came to a decision.
He would find and lure them out before killing them to prevent unnecessary trouble.
