Chapter 155 - Hurt One's Pride



Chapter 155: Hurt One’s Pride

“Senior Sister, be careful.”

Jiang Lan spoke to Xiao Yu, who was traveling on her sword.

Xiao Yu waved her hand and left on her sword.

After Xiao Yu left, Jiang Lan turned around and left.

He didn’t want to go out to take a look. Instead, he wanted to breakthrough to the late-stage Void Refinement Realm as soon as possible.

He was already very close to becoming an immortal.

The days that followed were repetitive for Jiang Lan.

During the day, he would read books and use the elixirs that he had obtained. At night, after familiarizing himself with his spells, he would open the Goddess Diagram and begin cultivating.

He raised his cultivation speed to the fastest.

However, after cultivating for a year, the entrance to the Netherworld began to erupt.

It was relatively late, but it was earlier than expected.

Sitting in the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan looked at the well with some vigilance.

Not only was he wary of this well, he was also wary of the people outside.

“I don’t know if I’ll be here in the next few years.”

When he was killing demons last time, he heard that they were going to make an issue out of the entrance to the Netherworld.

Now that the eruption of the Netherworld Cave had started.

What was supposed to come would come soon.

However, he did not mind it since he was in the Ninth Summit.

Jiang Lan maintained his calm and continued to cultivate.

It would take some time for the eruption to reach its peak state.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Lan closed his eyes again and began cultivating.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

Jiang Lan followed his routine and brought the Udumbara Flower and vegetative egg to sunbathe.

After taking them out this time, he would not be bringing them back anytime soon.

They could not withstand the subsequent eruptions. This had been proven a hundred years ago.

However, the lives of these two plants were indeed ridiculously long.

The vegetative egg had accompanied him for 170 years, and the Udumbara Flower had accompanied him for 60 years.

He did not know when they would die.

Three years had passed, and he was already familiar with the spell techniques that he should be familiar with. He had also experimented with what he wanted to experiment with.

He was still unable to unleash the Power Of Nine Tribulations. He would try again when he reached the perfected Void Refinement Realm.

He still could not reach the pinnacle of the Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel.

The Power of Nine Bulls was easy to master, and its power was now incomparable to the past.

He didn’t need a second punch to kill Mang Du now.

When Jiang Lan approached the courtyard, he felt that someone had arrived.

The person was not trapped by the peach forest.

“It should be Senior Sister Xiao Yu.”

Jiang Lan came to this conclusion.

When he returned to the courtyard, he saw a girl in blue and white clothes. She was squatting on the ground and looking at the flowers.

There was a slight smile on her face.

Under the sunlight, the scene was a little breathtaking.

Jiang Lan walked closer and Xiao Yu turned around to check who was behind her.

When she saw Jiang Lan, she smiled and said.

“Junior Brother, long time no see.”

Jiang Lan was surprised when he saw Xiao Yu’s face when she turned around.

He was slightly mesmerized by Xiao Yu’s smile after she had turned around.

If it was the grown-up Xiao Yu, the effect would be even more exaggerated.

“Long time no see.” Jiang Lan nodded lightly.

Xiao Yu looked exactly the same as she did three years ago.

There shouldn’t be any changes to her appearance after that.

If she transformed again, she would appear like Senior Sister Ao.

“What flower did Junior Martial Brother bring?” Xiao Yu asked as she approached Jiang Lan.

Xiao Yu had grown taller, but in front of Jiang Lan, she still couldn’t be considered tall.

Her height didn’t even reach his shoulders.

Senior Sister Ao’s height was taller than his shoulder height by quite a fair bit.

“Udumbara Flower. It was planted decades ago.”

Jiang Lan let Xiao Yu take the flower pot.

“There is a stone in the flower pot?” Xiao Yu took the flower pot and touched the stone curiously.

“Master gave me a present when I was in the Foundation Building Realm,” Jiang Lan answered.

Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan in surprise.

She remembered that she had met Jiang Lan when he was building his foundation.

It was in the Third Summit’s mystic realm and she was the one leading the team.

The main reason she was able to survive then was because of Jiang Lan.

She suddenly realized that this Junior Brother of hers was very young.

At that time, she was at the Golden Core Realm and Jiang Lan was only at the perfected Qi Refinement Realm.

There was a huge difference.

Now, she was at the perfected Essence Soul Realm but her Junior Brother was already at the early-stage Essence Soul Realm.

The gap between them was much smaller now.

He was instantly the same age as her.

But it had been more than a hundred years since he built his foundation, right?

“Junior Brother has been in the Foundation Building Realm for about 150 years, right? Then…” Xiao Yu looked at the stone-like thing.

It didn’t look like a pet.

“For some reason, it hasn’t hatched even after 170 years. Fortunately, it seems to still be alive. Thus, I have been raising it as a plant.” Jiang Lan explained.

Xiao Yu blinked and looked at the egg in confusion.

What type of egg would not hatch even after more than a hundred years?

But no matter how she looked at it, it didn’t seem to be a special lifeform.

And this was the first time she heard of someone raising a pet egg like a plant.

The more she understood her Junior Brother, the stranger she felt.

Xiao Yu didn’t think too much about it after that and handed the wooden sword to Jiang Lan.

“It has run out again.”

After receiving the wooden sword, Jiang Lan wanted to persuade his Senior Sister to give up on the Dragon Slaying Sword.

But he did not say it out loud.

Instead, he continued to help condense the Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent.

“Recently, the Netherworld Aura has increased in concentration.” Xiao Yu looked at her surroundings.

“En, the Netherworld’s entrance is now in the eruption period,” Jiang Lan explained.

Xiao Yu was watering the vegetative egg and the flower with spirit liquid.

After watering them, she asked curiously.

“The eruption has no effect on Junior Brother?”

Hearing this question, Jiang Lan instinctively became vigilant.

In the end, he still chose to explain.

“It might have an impact on me during its peak.”

It had indeed affected him a hundred years ago. However, he should be able to endure it this time round.

After all, the difference in cultivation levels between then and now was huge.

At this moment, he was already close to immortality.

His state of mind should have also gone up a level.

Therefore, he might not be affected.

However, theories were just theories and they needed to be verified.

“Oh.” Xiao Yu replied and stopped talking.

She continued to study the Udumbara Flower.

She had seen Udumbara Flowers before, but she had never seen one so dispirited.

In the evening.

Xiao Yu waved goodbye to Jiang Lan.

She returned to the Jade Pool.

After returning to the Jade Pool, her figure also changed, becoming the normal her.

Her face was exquisite and flawless.

She stood beside the Jade Pool and looked at the edge of the Jade Pool that she had sorted out.

“His cultivation speed should increase if he were to cultivate here, right?”

Except…

It wasn’t suitable.

She had thought for a long time.

She came to the conclusion that she shouldn’t do so much.

Her Junior Brother’s talent was not outstanding. Although his cultivation speed was not slow, there was a lot of controversy regarding it.

The invisible pressure was always there.

She could not exert any more pressure.

It would easily hurt her Junior Brother’s pride.

Ao Longyu did not think too much about it. She held the wooden sword and continued to comprehend the Dragon Slaying Sword.

It was a fair transaction between her and her Junior Brother, so it was not considered helping.

What was different from the previous transactions was that the calculations were not so clear anymore.

After sending Xiao Yu off, Jiang Lan continued to cultivate.

When he saw Xiao Yu, his heart was not in chaos. On the contrary, it was very calm and peaceful.

Sometimes, the shackles of life did not only affect his progress.

It could also promote progress.

Jiang Lan was completely unaffected by the Netherworld eruption.

The aura of the Netherworld accelerated his cultivation speed.

With the help of the eruption at the Netherworld’s entrance.

Perhaps he could advance to the perfected Void Refinement Realm earlier.

He had originally planned to break through within sixty to seventy years.

Now, it might only take him forty to fifty years.

In other words, he, who had only cultivated for two hundred years, was going to attempt to become an immortal.
