Noon.
Black qi revolved around the Netherworld Cave. The black qi that had entered Jiang Lan’s body began to circulate in all directions, no longer pouring in with Jiang Lan as the center.
Jiang Lan exhaled heavily and opened his eyes.
His injuries had mostly recovered.
Some of the scars needed time to heal.
Naturally, there would be some side effects if he recovered so quickly.
As long as he did not encounter any more powerful figures like the powerhouse in the Ba Country’s Ghost Gate, there would be no problem.
As for the Imperial Lord Xi He of Kunlun…
To be honest, he was not really interested in him.
Safety was above everything else. He could not leave the Ninth Summit for the next few days.
He would cultivate at ease. After this gust of wind passes, he would then go look through the books and check on the relevant information.
It was best if he didn’t move now. He could use the Netherworld Entrance’s eruption to cultivate in peace.
He had learned that being at the early-stage True Immortal Realm was nothing much.
He had to reach the perfected True Immortal Realm as soon as possible and gain insights into the Dao.
If he had the cultivation of a Heaven Immortal, he would not have been injured last night. He would have been much more relaxed when facing Emperor Xi He.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Lan decided that it was better to think less of Imperial Lord Xi He.
He had some guesses as to who this person was in Kunlun.
But he wasn’t sure.
Among the Kunlun’s nine summits.
He had met the summit leaders from most of the nine summits.
Only the identity and appearance of the summit leaders of the Fourth, Sixth and Seventh Summits remained unknown to him.
Although there was a possibility the person was one of these three, it was not that high.
Imperial Lord Xi He of Kunlun. The nine summit leaders didn’t have such a title.
The few summit leaders he knew had never mentioned it, and neither had his master.
So only one person had the highest possibility.
Standing on the nine summits of Kunlun was… the Sect Master who controlled the entire Kunlun.
Jiang Lan had always known of this person’s existence. However, he had never seen him before and had never heard any news about him.
In the mystic realm of the Fifth Summit, he had heard someone mention it before. However, it was of no value.
It was not impossible for the Kunlun’s Sect Master to have a title of an imperial lord.
It could be said that the possibility was the highest. It was just that he did not know if it was true or not.
However, the other party said that he would find him if he went to the Kunlun Temple.
Jiang Lan didn’t plan on doing anything.
However, there was one advantage. The other party said that Kunlun did not fear any enemy in the Grand Desolate World. From this, it could be seen that Kunlun was not inferior to any faction in the Grand Desolate World.
This was good news. He could cultivate here in peace.
Until he surpassed his master and suppressed the Sect Master.
At that time, it did not matter if his strength was exposed.
The urgent matter at hand was not about this Emperor, but about becoming stronger as soon as possible.
“Master should be back soon. When I have time, I should go find him and ask what had happened.”
However, there was no rush. He would go up tomorrow.
He would continue cultivating today.
However, just as he was about to continue cultivating, he suddenly received a response from the array formation.
Someone went to into his courtyard.
“Senior Sister?”
Jiang Lan was a bit confused. Under normal circumstances, it wasn’t time for his Senior Sister to come.
Could it be his master?
The possibility was even lower. His master would definitely come directly to the Netherworld Cave.
He could not ignore the sudden visit.
Helpless.
He got up and went out to take a look.
Of course, it was possible that the person was his enemy too.
The incident of the Ba Country had just passed, so it was nothing if an enemy attacked.
After a while.
When Jiang Lan arrived near the courtyard, his originally vigilant heart immediately relaxed.
At this moment, he saw a jade girl sitting on a rock garden in the courtyard.
Her feet swayed outside the rockery.
So this fake mountain was for this purpose?
Jiang Lan understood.
Previously, Xiao Yu did not come to the pond and asked for a fake mountain.
He’d thought it was just for viewing, but it turned out to be a chair.
“Is Senior Sister free today?” Jiang Lan came to the courtyard and asked.
He did not ask why she came.
If he asked, it would easily make Xiao Yu misunderstand and not come anymore.
Xiao Yu was surprised to see Jiang Lan suddenly appear.
“Junior Brother isn’t outside at this time. Shouldn’t you be in seclusion?”
“There’s feedback from the array formation in the courtyard. I knew that someone has come.” Jiang Lan came to the rock garden and stood at the spot where he could see Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu moved and landed beside Jiang Lan.
“Then wouldn’t I disturb Junior Brother everytime I came?”
“No.” Jiang Lan shook his head.
If he was facing a breakthrough in seclusion, he would not come out as long as the person was not approaching the Netherworld Cave.
It was normal for him to come out of seclusion if he wasn’t in a critical stage of cultivation. So coming out did not affect him much.
“What if I come every day?” Xiao Yu lifted her head and stared at Jiang Lan.
“I usually cultivate at night,” Jiang Lan replied.
“What if I come tonight?” Xiao Yu stood on her tiptoes and tried her best to look at Jiang Lan.
She raised her head and felt that her aura as a Senior Sister was not enough.
“Senior Sister, are you not going to become an immortal?”
Jiang Lan lowered his eyebrows. His Senior Sister was much taller now.
However, if she wanted to be on par with him, she had to go back to her normal state and tiptoe.
At this moment, his Senior Sister was still a little short.
Seeing that she had no advantage at all, Xiao Yu gave up on tiptoeing and moved a chair over. She stepped on the chair and looked down at Jiang Lan.
“No matter what, my cultivation level is higher than Junior Brother’s. I will definitely become an immortal earlier than Junior Brother. Oh right, what is Junior Brother’s current cultivation realm?”
Jiang Lan didn’t raise his head, but looked at how much taller Xiao Yu was.
His eyes were in front of her… chest.
A flat stretch of land.
If this state was really what Xiao Yu looked like when she was young, it was hard to imagine how she would look like in the future.
Xiao Yu saw that Jiang Lan didn’t say anything and looked at him curiously.
She saw Jiang Lan looking ahead.
Then she looked down.
It was her chest area. She jumped off the chair and moved to the side silently.
Jiang Lan didn’t think much of it.
He only answered Xiao Yu’s question.
“Compared to Senior Sister, there is indeed a gap.”
“How much is the gap?” Xiao Yu asked curiously.
She shifted her steps and stood beside Jiang Lan.
She didn’t stop Jiang Lan from looking at her assets.
Just a little resistance.
And… Xiao Yu looked down.
She realized that there was really nothing to see.
Then, Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan’s chest. They were pretty similar.
“How much is the gap?” Jiang Lan thought for a moment.
“One or two realms.”
Xiao Yu was currently at the mid-stage Void Refinement Realm, while he was only at the early-stage True Immortal Realm. There were indeed only two major realms between them.
Furthermore, Xiao Yu advanced very quickly. She would become an immortal in about 150 years.
After a hundred and fifty years, Jiang Lan should still be working hard on his way to becoming a Heaven Immortal.
Their gap would be even smaller then.
Xiao Yu calculated. There was a difference of one or two realms.
Then was her Junior Brother about to reach the early-stage Void Refinement Realm?
A human prodigy could reach the early-stage Void Refinement Realm in three hundred years, so it would probably take him another twenty to thirty years.
He had almost caught up.
Her Junior Brother was very powerful.
“Senior Sister, are you going out to face your tribulation or are you going to do it in Kunlun?” Jiang Lan suddenly asked.
He thought about how he should choose to transcend his tribulation.
He naturally could not stay in Kunlun.
Was he going out alone or would there be someone looking after him?
This was very important to him.
“Kunlun is such a big place. We can directly transcend the tribulation here. However, some of the Senior Brothers and Sisters would go out and find a place to comprehend the great gate of immortality themselves.
Most of them would bring their fellow disciples along. This way, others could vouch if one had transcended the tribulation. However, some of them go out to face tribulation alone.
If they return, it means that they had succeeded. If they do not return, it means that they had failed.” Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said.
“I’m the Kunlun Goddess. I shouldn’t be able to go out and transcend the tribulation. What about Junior Brother?”
