Chapter 408: Highest Deity Position
What did the Central Plains correspond to?
Jiang Lan guessed.
"Ancient Imperial Central Palace?" he tried.
The east, west, south, and north all corresponded to the respective regions, so it made sense for the Central Plains to correspond to the Ancient Imperial Central Palace.
"Ancient Imperial Central Palace is the most special Deity Position. It is also the highest Deity Position that stands.
The Heavenly Human Race and the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race have both sensed the importance of this Deity Position and understood how special it was.
That"s why they are going through all the trouble to s.n.a.t.c.h this Deity Position even if they would be one step late," Imperial Lord Xi He said.
"Are they going to succeed?" Jiang Lan asked.
But soon, he regretted it.
This was because Imperial Lord Xi He had just said that they were about to succeed. This meant that two Deity Positions would appear.
The Ancient Imperial Central Palace was the most special Deity Position. There was no reason for there to be two positions.
Sure enough, Imperial Lord Xi He gave a negative answer.
"No, they all failed."
Jiang Lan didn"t speak. Since Imperial Lord Xi He suddenly brought up this matter, there should be some explanation.
"The Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race can no longer hold on and has no choice but to seek other methods.
However, the Heavenly Human Race is different. A hundred years ago, they borrowed the methods of the Demon Race to communicate with the Netherworld.
They learned that the Deity Position of the Ancient Imperial Central Palace could not be obtained directly.
Hence, they have chosen something else over the years.
However, it seems like the people from the Netherworld didn"t tell them much." Imperial Lord Xi He looked at Jiang Lan and said.
"Do you know how to obtain the Central Palace Deity Position?"
Jiang Lan lowered his head and said softly.
"I don"t know, and I don"t want to know for now."
The Central Palace Deity Position was rather special. Others wanted to obtain it.
Then someone like Imperial Lord Xi He, who was a step ahead of others, would definitely want to obtain it as well.
In fact, it was highly likely that the other party"s target was the Central Palace Deity Position.
Once he knew how to get it, he would be in danger.
Therefore, it was better to know less.
"Little fellow, you are very careful." Imperial Lord Xi He"s voice carried a smile.
"But it won"t take you long to find out.
Of course, you can look into it yourself. After you advance to the Celestial Immortal Realm, you can go to the Kunlun Library to search for it.
I have put a book called the Theory Of Deity Positions there.
Maybe you can get an answer from there.
As to whether I will discover your ident.i.ty…
It depends on how you hide it and how you get it.
And I won"t tell you if anyone"s watching from Kunlun.
As for the matter of the Ancient Imperial Palace… There are books on them, too, but they contain little information.
If you want to know what exactly the Ancient Imperial Palace entails, you can leave the Ancient Imperial Lower Palace and move forward. At that time, you will know what exactly the Ancient Imperial Palace is."
Jiang Lan bowed his head in thanks.
He would not go to the Kunlun Library to read books. In the past, he might have thought of a way to casually flip through them.
But now…
He didn"t need to.
He had the book.
It was from his master.
However, Imperial Lord Xi He told him to check it out only when he had become a Celestial Immortal so he didn"t know if there were any requirements of one"s cultivation realm to read the book.
He was about to become a Celestial Immortal. He could wait.
Theoretically, since his master had given it to him, it meant that there was not much of a problem now, but it was indeed not urgent.
As for the Ancient Imperial Palace…
This was the first time he had heard of leaving the lower palace to find out what the Ancient Imperial Palace looked like.
"I"ve told you a lot. Take it as payment for the blood mist," Imperial Lord Xi He said as he took out the blood-colored bead.
Jiang Lan didn"t hesitate, quietly bidding farewell.
Imperial Lord Xi He watched Jiang Lan leave.
"He"s very cautious. He knows that he"s not strong enough and hence does not wish to get too involved.
Furthermore, he"s always on guard against me and doesn"t seem to trust me at all.
He always has one hand ready to strike, and the other ready to grab something.
Is it something to protect his life, or something to seek help?
If it is a request for help, then is it his master?
With this little fellow"s cautiousness, he must be certain that his request for help will be useful. Then, is he a personal disciple that is highly regarded? "
Imperial Lord Xi He"s aura started to disappear.
"Very impressive. With such accomplishments in such a short period of time, Kunlun has yet to see him stand out.
I wonder when he will decide to show his fangs. Is it because of insecurity? That could be true. He has too many secrets."
After that, Imperial Lord Xi He completely vanished on the spot.
…
Jiang Lan walked around and made sure no one was watching.
Only then did he appear on the main road.
He still had to make a trip to the Ice Cicada Forest.
He hadn"t dared to capture Ice Cicadas earlier because he was worried that Imperial Lord Xi He would suspect him.
But…
"I have learned about quite a few things this time. The Heavenly Human Race is also going to obtain a Deity Position, so this isn"t good news."
"When did the Heavenly Human Race communicate with the Netherworld and find out that the Central Palace Deity Position could not be obtained directly?"
He recalled the previous eruption of the Netherworld"s Entrance.
His master had killed some people outside. Among them were humans and demons.
So was that when they had communicated?
After a hundred years, they have obtained a new Deity Position.
It made sense.
As for the updates on the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race, he didn"t take it to heart.
So far, there was no conflict of interest between him and the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
He decided to catch some Ice Cicadas and go back.
Next up was the wedding.
…
After a while.
Jiang Lan walked out of the Ice Cicada Forest without any accidents.
It seemed like there were no more heavenly humans around.
He had achieved immortality, making the Heavenly Human Race a bit concerned. Moreover, they just happened to encounter each other, so the other party could only take action.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn"t have taken the risk.
Killing him near Kunlun wasn"t that easy.
There was a gentle breeze.
Jiang Lan rode his sword towards Kunlun.
At this moment, a pressure suddenly came from the sky, as if an overlord had appeared.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Lan put away his sword and quickly landed on the ground.
When he looked up again, he saw a dragon"s shadow in the sky.
"The dragons are here?"
Roar!
A low roar rang out, and everyone couldn"t help but raise their heads.
"Too high-profile." Jiang Lan frowned slightly.
He could feel the pressure even while standing on the ground. It was not that he felt that the other party was in the wrong, but he felt that doing so would just attract unnecessary danger.
It was easy to be hated for no reason.
Such a style was not suitable for him.
Before long, the dragons entered Kunlun.
Jiang Lan knew that it had something to do with his wedding.
"It seems that they are looking forward to it too. Five years earlier."
He thought to himself.
After that, he went straight back.
…
In the evening.
Jiang Lan returned to the Ninth Summit and placed the ice cicadas there before starting to cultivate.
His Senior Sister would only come down in two days. At that time, they would discuss the construction of the house.
The sun rose.
He began to cultivate normally.
During the day, he would read books to understand spell techniques, a.n.a.lyze array formations, and eat some medicinal pills.
At night, he would temper his golden body.
A month later.
He started building his new house.
"Junior Brother, I"ll demolish the house."
Xiao Yu wanted to do it herself, so Jiang Lan naturally didn"t refuse.
It didn"t matter who demolished it.
Boom!
The old house collapsed. Jiang Lan watched as it collapsed. The house fell here, and it would obtain new life here.
Days pa.s.sed, and the ruins were cleaned up.
A new house rose from the ground.
There were not many changes. There was only a small pond outside the courtyard to wash Xiao Yu"s feet.
The house was reinforced to prevent Xiao Yu from destroying it if she were to suddenly transform into a dragon.
Nothing else changed.
Jiang Lan had built the house by stacking stone bricks one by one.
From an empty plot of land to one that had a house on it.
The journey of the great Dao was the same.
Every brick was the same as every step one took on the path of the great Dao. They were the foundation of the Dao, a part of one"s advancement.
When one"s foundation was stable and when one"s steps reached the end, they would blossom with light and walk on a completely new path.
At this moment, Jiang Lan felt something in his heart and his mind started to become one.
"Junior Brother?" A soft voice called out to Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan woke up startled.
