Chapter 49: If He Could Be Invincible as a Saint, He Would Become a Saint
For a month, Gu Qi did not fall into the lake halfway.
His battle intent soared.
He caused ripples as he walked step by step on the lake’s surface. However, he stood on the lake’s surface and did not fall into the lake at all.
But at the beginning, he was calm and relaxed.
Slowly, it became more strenuous.
Every time he stopped to rest, it wouldn’t be long before he saw the junior brother following behind him.
In the beginning, the other party didn’t arrive so quickly. He had been antic.i.p.ating his arrival.
Soon, the other party became faster and faster. Sometimes, he felt like the other party was right behind him.
Pressure.
He felt an unprecedented pressure.
This pressure aroused the fighting spirit in his heart.
His heart was very pure. He just wanted to win against that junior brother.
The other party had already become his opponent.
An opponent that was worth fighting with his all.
He did not dare to underestimate him at all.
The other party was a powerful enemy who could walk alongside him.
He was an opponent worthy of his respect.
He had broken through his limits with every step he took. A month had pa.s.sed, and he believed that he could finally be far ahead of this junior brother.
But he was wrong.
When he stopped, he realized that not only was this junior brother not shaken off by him, but he had also appeared beside him.
He…
He had caught up.
The other party nodded at him.
He nodded in return.
This was out of respect.
However, the other party took another step forward.
He…
He was taking the lead.
The junior brother was walking very slowly. He could clearly feel that the other party’s speed had not changed since the beginning.
At this moment, he finally understood one thing.
It wasn’t that the other party had become faster.
But he…
He was slowing down.
Gu Qi was in disbelief.
As he looked at Jiang Lan’s departing figure, a new fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.
He had lost, but he wanted to regain his victory.
Gu Qi took another step forward.
Jiang Lan walked in front. He didn’t look at his senior brother.
He realized that this senior brother’s fighting spirit was very strong. However, he couldn’t make a move here either.
Battle intent was also a form of mental state for that senior brother.
If he destroyed it recklessly, he would only fall into the lake.
During this month, Jiang Lan had been walking and stopping, but still maintaining his initial speed.
He was neither in a hurry nor slacking off.
He could already see his reflection, but his facial features were hard to see.
However, he could also feel that there was more light s.h.i.+ning on his Essence Soul, as if it was illuminating the flaws of it.
This lake was very difficult to walk through, but there were indeed many benefits.
It would be of sufficient help to his Essence Soul.
However, after walking for a month, he did not know how big the lake was.
Or they could be walking in circles.
Without thinking too much, Jiang Lan continued walking forward. He didn’t look back nor did he make any unnecessary movements.
Behind him, Gu Qi was chasing after Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan had now become his target.
…
Outside the Peaceful Void Lake, some disciples were still meditating.
At this moment, someone suddenly said,
“It’s been a month.”
“What’s been a month?” Someone asked in confusion.
“That senior brother from the First Summit has been in there for a month? I’ve already heard about this.”
“No, it’s that disciple from the Ninth Summit. He’s been in there for a month. I’ve been waiting here for a month.
He hasn’t come out yet.
I remember that this is his first time entering the Peaceful Void Lake.”
“A disciple of the Ninth Summit? Who is it?”
“He hasn’t left? I thought he would have long ago.”
“I want to stay here. I want to see when he will come out.”
The Ancient Wine Daoist was also astonished.
It had been a month. He had actually been inside for a month.
Not only that, but he had also surpa.s.sed Gu Qi.
His condition had never undergone any special changes.
“There are no ripples in his heart. He is as flexible and tolerant as water.
Incredible. Mo Zhengdong’s disciple is truly impressive.”
The Ancient Wine Daoist drank his wine. He wanted to see how far Mo Zhengdong’s disciple could go.
…
Jiang Lan looked at the lake and continued to walk forward.
He had a feeling that every step he took now was taking him into the abyss.
If he couldn’t understand his heart and understand his intentions, he would not be able to continue walking here.
Jiang Lan understood his heart and his intentions.
There was not much he wanted to do. He wanted to stay on the Ninth Summit and sign in for his cultivation.
Until the day he became invincible.
If he could be invincible as an immortal, he would become an immortal.
However, immortals were not invincible.
So…
He wanted to become a saint.
Jiang Lan walked forward one step at a time, slowly seeing himself clearly. The light of his Essence Soul increased bit by bit.
He could feel that the further he went, the faster his cultivation would progress.
Jiang Lan, who had been walking for a month, had no idea how long he had been on the Peaceful Void Lake.
This time, he walked longer.
Two months pa.s.sed again.
He saw himself, but his eyes lacked his spirit.
“I should be able to see it after this final step.
But…”
Jiang Lan looked around him. He didn’t see anyone around.
He also knew that he was almost at his limit.
This final step had a chance of him falling to the bottom of the lake.
Jiang Lan knew that his mental state was good, but there was still an end point.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, he wouldn’t have taken the last step.
But he wanted to take this last step.
If he didn’t take this step, he would regret it.
Perhaps he was still full of youthful vigor.
This time, he did not restrain himself.
He took a step forward.
In an instant, Jiang Lan felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.
