Chapter 274 - Imperial Lord Qiong Gou’s Kindness

At the old wine inn.

Jiang Lan, who was watching Xiao Yu and the Eighth Prince chatting, suddenly felt a murmur in his ears.

His Deity Position seemed to have a reaction.

He had a feeling that he could use this reaction to cast his gaze over and even hear what the other party was saying.

However, he was unable to do so.

In the next instant, everything disappeared again.

He did not show any reaction and continued listening to Xiao Yu and the Eighth Prince’s conversation.

The Eighth Prince was talking to Xiao Yu about his fight against Jiang Lan which he had lost.

Jiang Lan was curious about what the Eighth Prince was thinking too.

However, he had a guess about the sudden change previously.

Someone had called out his name nearby.

It was completely different from the ravings he had heard before.

However, the limit was that he knew that someone was reciting his name. He had no way of knowing anything else.

Perhaps it was because it was too far away.

“Looks like I really can’t say Imperial Lord Xi He’s name.”

If they were close, the other party would definitely notice him.

Jiang Lan was certain.

He just didn’t know where Imperial Monarch Xi He’s limit was.

His cultivation was not high enough, and he could not completely fuse with the Deity Position, so his limit should be pretty close.

He would try if he had a chance.

As for how to test it, he already had an idea.

He just needed to perfect his plan.

Bang!

Suddenly, a wine bottle fell to the ground.

Hearing this voice, the Eighth Prince frowned. It had broken again.

The wine bottles were shattering every day.

“Sis, I’ll go clean up.”

The Eighth Prince felt helpless.

Xiao Yu turned to look at Jiang Lan, as if asking if he had discovered anything.

Jiang Lan pointed at the wine bottle beside her.

Xiao Yu looked over and realized that it was indeed about to fall. It was right beside the Eighth Prince.

“Ao Man, on your left. The bottle is about to drop.” Xiao Yu’s voice sounded.

The Eighth Prince turned around and saw that it was indeed going to fall.

Speaking of which, how did his little sister discover it?

“Sister will teach you,” Xiao Yu said excitedly.

It was finally her turn to teach.

Jiang Lan sat in a corner and closed his eyes to rest.

There was nothing that was going to break here, so it was quieter.

He could also see Xiao Yu from here.

After he sat down, he calmed his mind.

Soon, the ravings came again, lasting longer than before.

However, he still did not hear any sound. It was also very difficult for him to cast his gaze over to where the other party was at.

It had appeared twice in a row, and the other party knew his title.

They should be from the demon race.

The title of Deity Position was known only to people who also had a Deity Position.

Or someone like the Eighth Prince who was born as an innate immortal.

The others could only listen to those that knew about it.

Imperial Lord Xi He could excluded, and the Eighth Prince could also excluded. Then there were only the demons.

Although he did not know the purpose of their visit, it was definitely not out of kindness.

Unfortunately, it was too early.

If he was given another twenty to thirty years, he would have become a Heaven Immortal.

However, he needed to check if there would be any abnormal phenomena when advancing to Heaven Immortal. If there was, he needed to cover it up.

It was too dangerous to go out now.

After advancing to the Heaven Immortal Realm, he would be able to continue comprehending the Great Dao. He should also start reading the relevant books that described the insights on such matters.

The Ninth Summit’s library should have some on this topic.

He wouldn’t read such insights unless he had reached a certain level.

It could easily affect his road ahead.

After a while.

Xiao Yu sat in front of Jiang Lan, her chin resting on her hands as she looked at Jiang Lan with a vexed expression.

“Junior Brother.” Xiao Yu said seriously to Jiang Lan.

“Does it mean that as long as I reach Junior Brother’s age, I will be very powerful in the spiritual inn?”

Jiang Lan looked behind him and understood the general situation.

Xiao Yu had taught the Eighth Prince how to sense the dropping of the wine bottles. However, shortly after, she was directly surpassed.

Therefore, Xiao Yu was depressed.

The Eighth Prince’s advantage was too obvious. Although Xiao Yu had the Jade Pool, it was still insufficient to surpass the Eight Prince’s talent.

Ao Man was an innate immortal with the cultivation of a True Immortal. He even had two fortuitous opportunities.

This was what the Eighth Prince currently had.

It could be said that the Eighth Prince had unlimited potential in the future.

Especially since he had those two fortuitous opportunities.

Furthermore, it was something that could only be chanced upon by luck. There were only so many Deity Positions, and there wouldn’t be many opportunities.

This was also the reason why Kunlun was unwilling to let Ao Man go. Without a sufficient price, the Eighth Prince had to stay in Kunlun.

However, Kunlun would definitely not kill him. He was related to Xiao Yu.

Unless they became mortal enemies.

“Probably not,” Jiang Lan replied.

A change in mental state was somewhat different from a change in personality.

It was not something that could be improved by being quiet and indifferent.

Just like the Eighth Prince who was not quiet.

However, he was able to withstand the pressure of being hunted for decades and advanced to the True Immortal Realm before finally arriving at Kunlun.

Given the same cultivation base, the same Dharma treasures, the same route, different people would still have different endings.

“Junior Brother, are you afraid that if I grow old, the two of us will become even older?” Xiao Yu asked.

“What Senior Sister said doesn’t sound like a bad thing.” Jiang Lan looked at Xiaoyu and softly said:

“I should be very happy to accompany Senior Sister to grow old.”

Xiao Yu stared at Jiang Lan and stuck out her tongue.

“Junior Brother will be the one that grows old. I don’t want that.”

Xiao Yu sat down beside Jiang Lan and looked at the Eighth Prince who was looking for the next bottle that would break.

“However, I will stay by your side and bring liveliness to you. This will prevent Junior Brother from becoming old. ”

The more introverted one was, the older one seemed.

One would also lack liveliness.

…

…

In the evening.

Jiang Lan watched as Xiao Yu disappeared into the Jade Pool.

He walked towards the Ninth Summit’s library to take a look for books that contained the details of his ascension to the Heaven Immortal Realm.

If there were none, he would have to go to the Kunlun Library to take a look.

All of the cultivation insights ranging from those meant for the Essence Soul Realm to those meant for the Heaven Immortal Realm were in the same place.

So he didn’t have to worry about being noticed.

As for books that explained a Deity Position, he did not dare to flip through them.

Occasionally, he would flip through some books on such a topic, but he did not find anything.

These books had mentioned worshiping gods, but they had never mentioned anything about the Ancient Imperial Palace or the various titles.

While he was puzzled, he did not probe further.

He did not have that kind of strength.

When he arrived at the Ninth Summit’s library, he realized that he was almost done reading the books there.

He did not just read each book once, but often re-read the same book, hoping to gain something new from it.

He took out a book related to cultivation insights.

Just as he was about to flip it open, he heard another murmur.

The ravings had become clear, like a flash of light. He knew that the other party had said his Deity Position title again.

This time, he didn’t disappear immediately. He seemed to be able to hear the voice on the other side. Then, a voice sounded.

“Is this method really effective? Can placing the item under the East Road Bridge in Qingcheng Town in Kunlun work? Would Imperial Lord Unparalleled send someone to retrieve it?”

“Alright, I hope it can convey our goodwill. The Emperor truly wishes to cooperate with the other party.”

The ravings then disappeared.

Jiang Lan frowned.

Qingcheng Town, under the East Road Bridge.

Did the Demon Race place something there?

“Does the Emperor really wish to cooperate?”

Jiang Lan thought back to those words. Which Emperor was the other party referring to?

The Demonic Emperor, Imperial Lord Gou Qiong?

It seemed so.

Perhaps only the Demon Race’s Imperial Lord Gou Qiong knew that a new Deity Position had appeared and that it was in Kunlun.

Hence, the other party had tried to contact him using his title.

“Imperial Lord Unparalleled…”

“Their cultural heritage is much better than Ba Country’s.”

Jiang Lan shook his head. After all, this fortuitous opportunity was gifted by Ba Country, there were some things that couldn’t be forced.

Especially the title.
