Chapter 494: The Method To Change The t.i.tle Of One’s Deity Position
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Something unknown?
Hearing this, Jiang Lan had some thoughts, but he didn’t think too much about it.
Moreover, he had always been on guard against Imperial Lord Xi He.
The question the other party asked could very well be a trap.
He had unwittingly fallen into such a trap on Dragon Cry Island.
When the other party asked a question, he unconciously answered directly.
It was too dangerous.
Although he had his One Leaf Vision, no one knew if he could completely block it.
Therefore, he tried not to think too much about it.
“Do you have an answer?” Imperial Lord Xi He asked.
“Senior, what do you think it might be?” Jiang Lan asked.
He didn’t say if he had an answer.
He could have it or he could not have it.
“I can’t be sure, but there must be a reason why you advanced so quickly.
Of course, these are all external items. Your perception is somewhat extraordinary.
Even if someone else had the same thing, they would not be able to reach your level.
Regardless of whether you know why you can advance so quickly, you have to look further away.
Don’t look at just having a Deity Position. The Deity Position is not something you need to obtain.
You have to focus on the thing above having a Deity Position.
The sky can’t restrain you.
If you’re a personal disciple, go ask your master how a person can stand above the heavens.” Imperial Lord Xi He looked at Jiang Lan and said seriously.
Jiang Lan remained silent again.
“Work hard to become stronger. The more bitter it is now, the easier it will be for you in the future.
Time will not wait for you.
Remember our deal.
“After the fortuitous opportunity battle, if you still stand, I will help you change your Deity Position t.i.tle, and you will have to pay a price,” Imperial Lord Xi He reminded.
“Senior, how do you want to help me change my name?” Jiang Lan asked.
He had read the Deity Position before, but he did not see any changes to its name.
It seemed impossible.
But in Imperial Lord Xi He’s opinion, all of this wasn’t that difficult.
Was the difference in their understanding so great?
“Changing your t.i.tle isn’t difficult, but it might be different from what you think.” Imperial Lord Xi He looked at Jiang Lan, his voice carrying a smile.
“Do you think it’s something to do with tampering with the Ancient Imperial Lower Palace?”
“It’s not?” Jiang Lan asked.
He did think so at first, but now it seemed not.
“You should have guessed my goal. What I want is the Ancient Imperial Central Palace. This is the reason why I haven’t been able to leave Kunlun after waiting for so long.
I have to wait here for everyone to make some progress before I can seek the location of the Central Palace.
Then guess what will happen if I obtain the Central Palace?” Imperial Lord Xi He asked Jiang Lan.
“The Ancient Imperial West Palace is empty?” Jiang Lan had thought of this before.
Previously, he had been curious about what Imperial Lord Xi He wanted to do.
Now, he had a guess.
It was completely different from what he had imagined.
“You guessed it, right?” Imperial Lord Xi He said in a relaxed tone.
“Yes, the easiest way to change your name is to help change your Deity Position.
When I obtain the Central Palace, you will enter the West Palace.
The t.i.tle’s name is up to you then.”
As expected, Jiang Lan was shocked.
However, changing his Deity Position meant that he had to give up everything he had on his Deity Position?
It was not that he was unwilling to part with it, but it was a little troublesome to be unable to contact the youth and the Eighth Prince.
“Apart from those who have your fortuitous opportunity, you can’t take anything else.
What you need to do is return the Deity Position to Ba Country.
Your Deity Position originates from Ba Country. You owe a huge karma there.
You should return the Deity Position. The severing of karma will allow you to reach a higher level,” said Imperial Lord Xi He.
Jiang Lan lowered his eyebrows.
His Deity Position was indeed here because of Ba Country, so he needed to intervene in some matters regarding Ba Country.
If he returned the Deity Position, he could indeed settle the karma.
As for the West Palace’s Deity Position… It would be obtained from the transaction with Imperial Lord Xi He.
This transaction involved helping Imperial Lord Xi He obtain the Ancient Imperial Central Palace Deity Position.
“You can consider it. You can also discuss the details with Imperial Lord Youdu.
At that time, he will also descend upon Kunlun.” Imperial Lord Xi He was not in a hurry.
Jiang Lan nodded slightly. He knew that Imperial Lord Youdu would definitely come.
Everyone was here. Just because he didn’t come didn’t mean that he couldn’t keep up.
Therefore, even if he wasn’t invited, he would still come.
Only by doing so could he keep up with everyone.
Whether he understood or not was not important.
The people from Ba Country weren’t smart, but they weren’t stupid either.
It was very difficult to use them or make them suffer.
“There’s not much time left. Let’s try our best to become stronger.” Imperial Lord Xi He spoke out of nowhere before retreating.
Jiang Lan watched as the other party disappeared, roughly understanding what he meant by not having much time.
Heaven and earth would fall soon.
He already had some understanding of this when he was in front of the tree. The destruction of the Ancient Imperial Palace was related to this.
The descent of the Deity Positions into the Grand Desolate World was also related to this.
As for how many years remained, no one knew.
He was still far away.
He wouldn’t be far after becoming a Dao Immortal. At that time, he would have to bear the corresponding responsibility.
As for the change of the t.i.tle of his Deity Position.
It was indeed necessary, but he needed to find the person who had inherited the Deity Position.
It had to be someone from Ba Country.
Fortunately, the fortuitous opportunities could be taken away. It was convenient for him to contact the Eighth Prince and the youth using them.
However, it was still early. Only when he became a Dao Immortal would he have the qualifications to talk to Imperial Lord Youdu as an equal.
He would then ask him what he thought about it.
Of course, before returning the Deity Position to Ba Country, he had to make a trip to the Lower Palace to take a look inside.
In the previous illusion, he had seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
He wanted to see if it was related to the Ancient Imperial Lower Palace, and he could find out more if he went in.
Then, he began to retreat and leave the Ice Cicada Forest.
After walking around for a long time and making sure that he wasn’t being watched, he returned to normal.
Then, he headed towards Qingcheng Town, just in time to buy a candied fruit for his Senior Sister.
He had never executed his promise.
Fortunately, he was very fast as a perfected Human Immortal.
It wouldn’t take too long to return. When he returned, he would make a trip to the inn to see if the Eighth Prince and the others had also partic.i.p.ated in the selection of outstanding disciples.
According to Imperial Lord Xi He, they needed to do so.
However, it was unknown if the Eighth Prince represented Kunlun or the Dragon Race.
And the youth…
Because the innkeeper did not have a Deity Position, if the youth partic.i.p.ated.
Then the one behind the youth would be the Unparalleled Fist G.o.d.
Which was himself.
He had to understand this as well.
…
In the evening.
Jiang Lan arrived at the inn.
After he reached, he heard an argument inside.
“Foolish young man, that human lied to you. The Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race clearly likes fire. What’s the use of giving her flowers?
You even went to pluck the Tianshan Snow Lotus Flower.”
“I think Hong Ya will want it. That human is about to die. Humans speak the truth when they are about to die.”
“You actually believe an old fool who’s about to die? How about this? Knock the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race unconscious and place the flower in front of her.
This way, even if she doesn’t accept it, it’s still considered accepting it.”
“But I can’t beat Hong Ya.”
“Do it late at night and bring along my Heavenly Dragon Saber. It’s fine.”
Jiang Lan stood at the door and watched the Eighth Prince and the youth chatting in a corner while the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race quietly wiped her teacup.
For a moment, he did not understand these people.
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed hard to understand.
There were three people in the inn. One was raised by a Qiong Qi, another was the Eighth Prince of the Dragon Race who was an innate immortal, and the last was a phoenix of the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race.
Different races naturally had different understanding of different matters.
Perhaps the phoenix would think that the youth and the Eighth Prince were just tacitly chatting in a corner.
Perhaps so.
When they saw Jiang Lan enter, the Eighth Prince and the youth stopped their discussion.
“Big Brother, Grandpa might not be coming back today, so we don’t have any good wine,” the youth explained immediately.
“Brother-in-law, do you want some dishes with wine?” The Eighth Prince took out his Heavenly Dragon and planned to cut some wild animals.
Jiang Lan remembered that he had taught these two a move, the first strike of the Dragon Saber Art.
There were still two more strikes.
He could find time to teach them the second move.
The third strike was not urgent.
First, he would look at the effects. Then, he would look at the cultivation technique.
Without this, they would not have been able to use the three saber moves.
He did not know what the youth would learn in the end. Perhaps a new saber technique would appear.
It depended on himself.
“I need to ask you guys something.” Jiang Lan spoke softly.
…
“Is it about the matter of choosing the most outstanding disciples?”
The three people sat on a table in the corner. The Eighth Prince then thought carefully and said.
“We didn’t receive any similar notice, but my sister has mentioned it to me.
Even the Dragon Race hasn’t contacted me yet. Kunlun hasn’t said anything to me either.”
“I’m not from Kunlun, nor am I from the factions that Big Brother mentioned just now. I don’t think I need to partic.i.p.ate, right?” The youth said.
Jiang Lan didn’t know about the Eighth Prince. He had too many fortuitous opportunities on him. Right now, he had another strand, one that belonged to the Qilin Race.
It was impossible to know who he would represent in the end.
And the youth…
He only had a strand of fortuitous opportunity on him. Once he partic.i.p.ated, the youth would definitely be tied to him.
Then, the youth looked at the counter and said.
“Hong Ya, did you receive any news of the fortuitous opportunity battle?”
“No.” Hong Ya immediately shook her head.
“Neither does Hongya,” the youth said to Jiang Lan.
“However, since Kunlun said that these factions will partic.i.p.ate and we are considered pretty outstanding, we might be informed later.
Kunlun has indeed begun to choose its outstanding disciples.
I think there are only a few candidates. There should be around eight people from each minor realm,” said the Eighth Prince.
There were four minor realms for True Immortals and four minor realms for Heaven Immortals.
There were a total of eight minor realms.
“What kind of fortuitous opportunity will one obtain if one partic.i.p.ates?” The youth asked curiously.
“It might be an opportunity to cultivate faster,” Jiang Lan said.
In fact, the person behind the fortuitous opportunity battle benefited the most.
Of course, the partic.i.p.ants would definitely receive quite a bit of benefits as well.
But they were too weak. For now, they were too weak. They could not play a decisive role in what happened next.
Jiang Lan was the same now. He was too weak.
But a hundred years later, he would have some qualifications.
In a few hundred years, perhaps he could go further.
As for the only position at the top, he did not know if he could touch it.
But he would not stop.
As for how to wait.
After leaving the inn, Jiang Lan returned to the Ninth Summit. He needed to calm down for a period of time.
He had just advanced, so he had to stabilize his temperament.
Facing the pinnacle of immortality, it was very easy for one’s state of mind to change.
Nothing must go wrong at this critical moment.
After returning to the Ninth Summit, he handed the candied fruits to Xiao Yu.
Because of the scales on her body, she did not dare to go out casually.
“Junior Brother, let’s begin the challenge in a few days.” Xiao Yu held the candied fruit and said.
“Alright.” Jiang Lan didn’t refuse.
Three days later.
At the square of the Ninth Summit.
Jiang Lan knocked Xiao Yu’s head with his wooden sword.
This made her squat on the ground with her head in her hands.
“Stop, stop. I’ve already admitted defeat, yet you still want to fight.” Xiao Yu raised her head and looked at Jiang Lan.
“Junior Brother, I finally know why I kept losing.”
Jiang Lan was rather surprised as he held the wooden sword.
“Why?”
Did this dragon finally understand that the Ninth Summit was his home ground?
“Because every time we start the fight, my wooden sword will inexplicably run into your hands.
And you always. .h.i.t me with the wooden sword.” Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan’s wooden sword and said.
Jiang Lan was silent.
“Next time, I won’t use my wooden sword,” Xiao Yu said.
“The next time will be a hundred years later and I will already be at the early-stage True Immortal Realm.
Senior Sister should also be at the early-stage True Immortal Realm,” Jiang Lan replied.
Xiao Yu :”…”
…
…
Ba Country.
The sky was as gloomy as ever. Although there was still not much rain, it was not as dry as before.
In the courtyard, a youth was practicing his fist techniques.
Ha!
Ha!
Qing Mu continued to swing his fists. Power gathered in the air. It was extremely powerful.
His strength increased, and his fists became stronger and stronger.
He was the man who wanted to be the number one fist expert in Ba Country. When the Fist G.o.d died in the future, he would inherit the Fist G.o.d’s position.
He wanted to become the new Fist G.o.d of Ba Country.
At that time, the demons and Kunlun would tremble under his fist.
Wherever the fist pa.s.sed, it would bring suppression to his foes.
Boom!
A powerful force soared into the sky. This was the power that belonged to Qing Mu’s fist.
Citizens of Ba Country all had the apt.i.tude to practice fist techniques.
And he definitely had to be the most suitable and strongest.
“Qing Mu.” A woman walked out from the courtyard.
“Mother, did you call for me?” Qing Mu immediately stopped practicing and came to the woman’s side.
“You’re not young anymore,” the woman said.
“Your father already had you when he was your age.”
“Mother, I’m still young. I’m still working hard to become the number one war G.o.d, only beneath that of the Unparalleled Fist G.o.d.
Now is not the time to start a family. I have to establish my career first.
Father is trapped in the village because he gave birth to me too early.” Qing Mu immediately took a step back and said.
He could not start a family so early.
He wanted to become the number one fist expert of Ba Country, the number one war G.o.d beneath only the Unparalleled Fist G.o.d.
If the Fist G.o.d died in the future, he would be the new Fist G.o.d. If he were to start a family now, he was just wasting his future.
The woman looked at Qing Mu and didn’t mention anything else. She was just casually mentioning it.
“I heard that the Imperial Lord has suddenly started a selection? He seems to have the intention to choose a newcomer with decent strength to go out.”
“Yes, I’ve heard of it.
I went to sign up but they didn’t accept me. They said that I didn’t have the qualifications to sign up.” Qing Mu frowned.
“I feel like the Imperial Lord is looking down on me and targeting me.
He thinks I only have fists and no brain.”
“Do you want to go? It might be dangerous.” The woman looked at Qing Mu and asked.
This matter seemed very important to her.
She only had one son.
“Of course I do. If I don’t go, how will others know that I’m the number one fist expert in Ba Country?
How would they know that I’m the number one war G.o.d beneath only the Unparalleled Fist G.o.d?” Qing Mu replied.
However, he quickly looked dejected. He did not even have the qualifications to register.
“This is for you.” The woman sighed and handed a wooden tablet with the words Youdu carved on it to Qing Mu.
“Mother, what is this?” Qing Mu took the wooden tablet curiously.
“The reason why you can’t sign up for your qualification token is not because you are looked down upon by the Imperial Lord, nor is it because you are targeted by him.
Instead…
You have been specially appointed as an outstanding member. There’s no need for you to register,” the woman explained.
She didn’t know why, but Qing Mu was indeed valued by the Imperial Lord.
Or perhaps it wasn’t the Imperial Lord, but…
She looked at the Deity Position belonging to the Unparalleled Fist G.o.d in the courtyard.
None of the people she knew personally felt the power of the Fist G.o.d.
Yet Qing Mu felt it.
This was definitely not due to luck.
“Really, mother?” Qing Mu looked excited.
“I’m going to find your father to come back for dinner,” the woman said.
“Alright, I’ll go now.. Haha!” After saying that, Qing Mu ran out.
