Chapter 334: The Sound Of Thunder

After Ao Longyu learned how to use the array formations.

Jiang Lan left the Jade Pool. The rest of the time was meant for his Senior Sister to ensure she was in sync with the array formations.

She could also adjust her condition to the optimal state.

In five years at most, his Senior Sister would undergo her tribulation.

It had been 455 years since he had entered the sect.

In another 125 years at most, he would advance to become an immortal on the surface.

His pace could be considered to be pretty fast.

After returning to the Ninth Summit, Jiang Lan came to the courtyard and saw the vegetative egg and Udumbara Flower.

They were much weaker now, but they were still alive.

As expected, their vitality was extremely tenacious.

After watering them, Jiang Lan began to clean up the weeds on the Ninth Summit.

In twenty years, the mountain path here had long been covered in weeds.

The square was also covered with fallen leaves.

Without him on the Ninth Summit, the environment would remain as such.

It wasn’t like that here when he came.

Thus, he was certain that it was his master who was cleaning up before he arrived.

After he came, his master did not move at all. No matter how long he was in seclusion, his master would always leave the cleaning to him.

This was the responsibility that he needed to bear.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Lan began to clean up.

His Senior Sister should not have much time left.

One couldn’t be sloppy when transcending the tribulation. It had to be done with full effort.

However, halfway through, the Eighth Prince suddenly ran to his courtyard.

“Brother-in-law? You have come out of seclusion?” Ao Man looked at Jiang Lan in surprise.

At that moment, the Eighth Prince’s cultivation was that of a mid-stage True Immortal.

He had grown very quickly.

It had only been a hundred years.

Back when he had saved the Eighth Prince, he had only just become a mid-stage True Immortal.

Now, he was approaching the mid-stage Heaven Immortal Realm.

The Eighth Prince on the other hand, was at the mid-stage True Immortal Realm.

In comparison, there was indeed quite a gap.

With such a mentality, it was easy for problems to arise. It was easy for one to feel as though innate immortals were just mediocre.

Only when there was a comparison could one feel a sense of superiority.

Fortunately, Jiang Lan maintained his temperament very well and this didn’t bring him too much trouble.

If one’s heart was unstable, there would be trouble.

“I just came out from the Jade Pool.” Jiang Lan continued to clean up.

The Eighth Prince helped.

“I came here with the intention of watering the vegetative egg. Does that mean my sister is about to transcend the tribulation?”

“She should be doing so in another four or five years.” Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

He set aside the weeds and continued.

“As long as nothing unexpected happens over the years, there shouldn’t be any problems with crossing tribulation.”

“Brother-in-law, if I were to say it out loud, would something unexpected happen?” The Eighth Prince plucked the weeds and said.

“A few years ago, my mother told me the same thing. She said that she would bring me back as long as nothing unexpected happened. Then, an accident happened.”

Jiang Lan: “…”

The Eighth Prince and Ao Ye had been in Kunlun for many years.

When they first met, the Eighth Prince was only in his twenties.

That was around 250 years ago.

And the Eighth Prince had been in Kunlun for more than 150 years. He could be considered to have been placed under house arrest in Kunlun ever since he was young.

However, his life here was not bad.

He had no restrictions and was free to roam where he wanted.

At the very least, the Eighth Prince’s range of activity was much wider than his.

If he were to be slightly further away from Kunlun, Imperial Lord Xi He might discover him.

It was much better now.

Just a little more.

Perhaps after responding to Ba Country’s sacrificial offerings, he would be able to completely escape the influence brought by his Deity Position.

“Recently, I’ve been feeling a surge of power outside Kunlun. It’s as if someone has accumulated a lot of power.

I wonder if it will affect Sister’s Dao tribulation,” said the Eighth Prince.

“I don’t think so.” Jiang Lan shook his head.

Xiao Yu was the Kunlun Goddess. He could understand how important the Goddess was.

Naturally, the summit leaders understood this too.

Of course, there was a possibility that someone would take the risk.

But it should not succeed.

Perhaps this was why Xiao Yu had to undergo tribulation at the Jade Pool.

This was because in the Jade Pool, one could block out the heavenly secrets and also see everything else.

Thus, no one knew when Xiao Yu would undergo her tribulation.

This way, she could safely pass the heavenly tribulation.

“By the way, do you know what that is?” Jiang Lan raised his head and pointed at the light pillar in the direction of the Kunlun Main Hall.

That beam of light had not disappeared since it appeared until now.

However, he did not feel any harm from it.

“That?” The Eighth Prince pointed at the light.

“I heard that it was done by the First Summit. It seems like every summit will light up one every twenty years. It would be 160 years after every summit has lit theirs up. As for its purpose, no one has mentioned it before.”

160 years?

At that time, he would have been in the sect for 610 years.

It would be the time for his immortal ascension.

It definitely had something to do with the wedding, right?

Jiang Lan guessed in his heart, but whether it was true or not, it still needed to be verified.

After that, Jiang Lan continued to clean up. The Eighth Prince stood beside him and kept speaking.

He would talk about how several Senior Brothers in Kunlun fought because of their Dao companions, as well as how the youth from the inn was still trying to curry favor with the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race.

In the end, the other party had dismissed the youth away saying she was busy and that she expected better from him.

The Eighth Prince had even lent the youth his halberd and even taught him his Thunder Halberd Art.

This was to let the youth at the inn show off.

Unfortunately, the youth didn’t listen.

Thus, the Eight Prince wanted to ask Jiang Lan to go out and educate him.

But from the Eighth Prince, Jiang Lan discovered that the youth from the inn had been working hard to become stronger.

The inn owner was probably very happy to see this happen.

“Looks like the innkeeper is willing to keep the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race in the inn now. At first, he might have only let the girl stay because he was not able to win against the youth.

Now, the innkeeper probably hoped for the other party to stay at the inn.”

Jiang Lan thought.

He had seen the youth ten years after he had entered the sect.

At that time, he was sleeping.

He often slept after that as well, but now he was getting stronger.

This was very rare.

“Has the youth not grown up yet?” Jiang Lan suddenly asked.

“Yes, he’s still so young. I also found it strange that he is a human, even if there are some genes of a beast in him.

It’s not possible that he can keep growing like this. We dragons will grow older as we grow stronger. However, he does not. I’ve observed him for decades, but he hasn’t grown taller at all.” The Eighth Prince was also puzzled.

Jiang Lan didn’t understand either.

It was as if time could not leave a mark on the youth.

Or rather, he needed an opportunity.

There were all sorts of strange things in the Grand Desolate World. There were all sorts of ways one grew up.

Some people could only reach adulthood as their cultivation increased, while others could only reach adulthood when their emotions changed.

There were also people who needed a bath of flesh and blood to reach adulthood.

He just didn’t know which type of youth he belonged to. An ordinary human being would become an adult at eighteen.

But the youth…

He was already around 180 years old.

“Has the girl from the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race grown up?” Jiang Lan asked again.

“Well… it doesn’t look like she’s fully grown either. Her cultivation level is at the perfected Human Immortal Realm. In theory, she is already an adult.

But it’s also possible that she was born short,” said the Eighth Prince.

Jiang Lan nodded slightly and didn’t say anything else.

This young man might have a chance.

Unless a Deity Position appeared in the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race and they recalled the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race from the inn.

After all, she had a fortuitous opportunity on her. People who had a Deity Position would want to connect to it.

He wondered if there was a fortuitous opportunity in Kunlun that Imperial Lord Xi He connected to.

So far, apart from the Eighth Prince, he had not seen anyone else.

In fact, no one else in Kunlun had a strand of fortuitous opportunity on them.

Other than him who had accidentally obtained a Deity Position.

Boom!

All of a sudden, the sound of thunder rang out in the sky.

Jiang Lan raised his head slightly.

It was the sign of another Deity Position appearing.

After so many years, was there finally going to be another Deity Position appearing again?

Was it the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race or the Heavenly Human Race?
