Chapter 287: Fourth Deity Position
After returning to the Ninth Summit, Jiang Lan watered the vegetative egg with spirit liquid.
He had not been back for the past few days but the vegetative egg and the Udumbara Flower were not too different.
They had survived the past few years so a few days was nothing.
Then, Jiang Lan headed to the Netherworld Cave alone.
He intended to cultivate.
The Netherworld’s Entrance was about to erupt, and the vegetative egg and the Udumbara Flower could not withstand it.
It was not suitable for him to bring them in.
Sitting cross-legged in the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan gazed at the entrance to the Netherworld. He hadn’t taken a single glance until now.
There was no need to, but he had to be alert.
Especially when it was time for the eruption.
He could feel as if someone might be trying to use this opportunity to throw Kunlun into chaos.
Jiang Lan didn’t know what these people’s motives were, but he always treated them seriously.
Last time, someone had secretly opened a crack somewhere else.
This time, he had augmented the array formations. Once the Netherworld Aura fluctuates, he would be notified immediately.
At that time…
He would tell his master.
He had no intention of handling it himself.
After all, his master was faster. If he went, he might b.u.mp into his master midway.
Then…
It would be hard for him to explain what he was doing.
Then, he began to cultivate. Because of the enlightenment at the inn, he had a deeper understanding of the Dao. This time, he might be able to advance to become a Heaven Immortal in less than thirty years.
However, he did not know the details.
He could only confirm it when he advanced.
According to the information he had gathered, as long as he stepped into the threshold of the Great Dao and his cultivation reached the critical point, his advancement would be smooth sailing.
Advancing as an immortal seemed to be easier.
But…
It was unknown if there were any dangers.
Cultivating in seclusion was like breathing for Jiang Lan.
Everything was in order.
A month quietly pa.s.sed.
The current him was already completely familiar with the True Immortal Realm.
The next step was to acc.u.mulate and charge into the Heaven Immortal Realm.
At that time, his Senior Sister would also have reached the perfected Void Refinement Realm.
Her day of immortal ascension would follow soon after.
With his Senior Sister’s strength, she could at most suppress it to a hundred years later.
If not for waiting for him…
His Senior Sister would have had become a Human Immortal within the next few years.
…
Outside the Netherworld Cave, the sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly.
Jiang Lan looked at the sky and received a message.
“The Dragon Race’s Ran Jing came to see me?”
Ran Jing was Xiao Yu’s mother, so there must be a reason for her sudden visit.
Then, he headed towards the courtyard.
However, he was a little surprised when he arrived at the courtyard.
In the yard, there was only Ran Jing sitting alone by the stone table.
She seemed to be admiring the flowers.
It didn’t look like much, but…
The other party came alone. Not only did his array formation fail to stop the other party, there wasn’t even any feedback from them.
At this moment, he had a feeling that the other party might be ridiculously powerful.
“You’re here?” Ran Jing noticed Jiang Lan and said softly.
“Come and sit.”
“Does Senior have something to discuss with this junior?” Jiang Lan remained calm as he sat at the stone table.
He had gathered his Power of Nine Bulls to prevent any accidents.
“How long have you been engaged to Longyu?” Ran Jing asked with a light tone.
“About two hundred years,” Jiang Lan answered softly.
“What kind of lady is Longyu?” asked Ran Jing.
As her mother, did she know nothing about Ao Longyu?
Although Jiang Lan didn’t know what she meant by her question, he still answered seriously.
“She looks cold and distant on the outside. In reality, she has a soft personality and a young girl’s mind.”
“What are her flaws?” Ran Jing looked at Jiang Lan and continued asking.
“None for the time being.” Jiang Lan shook his head.
When he didn’t know her personally, he felt that his Senior Sister liked meddling in other people’s business and would only do whatever she had to do.
When working part-time at the inn, it was easy for her to offend guests with such behaviour.
However, he didn’t feel like that now.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Lan was shocked to discover that he could no longer see any flaws in Xiao Yu.
“Humans are different from us. You people have all sorts of emotions and can be said to be the most complicated species among all living beings.” Ran Jing stood up and walked around the courtyard. She looked at Jiang Lan and asked softly.
“Human couples should have special feelings. It’s a type of fondness. Do you like Longyu?”
Jiang Lan stood up and shook his head.
“This junior is unable to answer this question. However, I know that if Senior Sister encounters danger, I will definitely not hesitate to help her.”
“Is that so?” Ran Jing looked at Jiang Lan and said,
“Something is about to happen to the Dragon Race recently. It can be said to be an opportunity for you too. Are you sure you don’t want to return to the Dragon Race with the Eighth Prince?
If you want to marry Longyu, becoming an immortal is a huge threshold. Perhaps there will be an opportunity for you to advance to become an immortal there.”
Was it really because of the Eighth Prince? Jiang Lan sighed in his heart and shook his head.
“I need to ask my master.”
“That’s true.” Ran Jing did not seem to mind. It was as if she had just casually mentioned it.
Before long, Ran Jing left the Ninth Summit.
Jiang Lan didn’t know why the other party had come.
Was it for Xiao Yu or the Eighth Prince?
But it didn’t matter.
If Xiao Yu cared about her mother, he would tell her about the conversation he had with her mother from the beginning to the end.
The last question could be removed.
That way, Xiao Yu would be happier.
Jiang Lan was considering whether he should tell his master of the last question Ran Jing had asked him. He was worried that his master would really let him go.
This was because the fortuitous opportunity of the Dragon Race should be roughly referring to the Deity Position.
However, other than the Eighth Prince, no one else had the opportunity.
Jiang Lan hesitated.
The girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race and the youth from the inn weren’t innate immortals either, so why did they have a strand of fortuitous opportunity on them?
This matter was too complicated.
Jiang Lan didn’t think too much about it and decided to continue his closed-door cultivation.
He would first advance to become a Heaven Immortal.
However, he decided to still meet his master first.
His master’s meaning was clear. Whether he went to the dragons depended on himself.
Jiang Lan naturally didn’t want to go out.
And then, he returned to the Netherworld Cave to continue his training.
Mo Zhengdong sighed helplessly as he watched Jiang Lan return.
What did he need to do to make Jiang Lan go out?
It had been almost four hundred years and he had only been out once.
Knowing too little about the outside world was not a good thing.
Although he was helpless, it was normal for every disciple to have a weakness.
In other aspects, Jiang Lan was exceptional.
…
Time pa.s.sed.
The training under Kunlun Mountain had come to an end.
The Underground Devils were now nowhere to be seen.
The Dragon Race and Kunlun quarreled again before the Dragon Race left angrily.
They failed to bring the Eighth Prince with them.
Kunlun did not mind this at all.
In the same year, Kunlun went to find Hong Ya of the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race.
It was the one that the young man liked.
This year, the other party was invited to stay in Kunlun.
Without Kunlun’s permission, it was forbidden for her to leave Kunlun.
Kunlun’s intention was clear. If she wanted to leave again, she would have to pay the price.
The youth at the inn… was fine for now.
Jiang Lan knew about these things, and it was the Eighth Prince who had come to tell him about this.
The Eighth Prince was very open-minded. It didn’t matter if he left or not.
In any case, Kunlun was no worse than the Dragon Race. There was also his brother-in-law and sister here to protect him.
Jiang Lan didn’t care about this.
After a number of years.
Jiang Lan opened his eyes.
Heaven and earth seemed to be vibrating. It was his Deity Position.
This feeling… as if something new had appeared.
“The fourth Deity Position is about to appear?”
Jiang Lan looked up at the sky in surprise.
It was just that he didn’t know who had gotten the new Deity Position.
