“He can’t take another step. Seems like he’s overestimated himself.”
“What’s the point? It’s already very impressive to be able to get two. He is really asking for trouble for staying at the Ninth Summit despite being so unsteady.”
“Just wait and see. This disciple who’s only at the second-stage of the Qi Refinement realm is asking for trouble.”
At this time, Jiang Lan was sensing the three Dharma treasures. After he perceiving them, countless storms were swept into his mind.
Many thoughts were growing continuously in his heart.
Pride, anger, greed, lust. All these thoughts kept appearing.
The most obvious was arrogance.
Yes. Because of the system, he could be said to have surpassed everyone.
There was nothing wrong with being arrogant. But being overly arrogant was equivalent to being conceited.
Arrogance must have one’s own foundation and self-awareness.
What Jiang Lan needed to do was to see through himself.
However, in this temperament test, it was still a bit difficult for Jiang Lan. The moment he had any deviating thoughts, it would bring about all kinds of storms.
It seemed that his temperament was still very ordinary.
After Jiang Lan’s thoughts were swept up in the storm, the foot that should have landed was still unable to land.
The middle-aged man who was in charge of the arrangements felt that something was amiss with Jiang Lan.
At that moment, he finally realized what was wrong.
He waved his hand, and a surge of energy passed through the three Dharma treasures.
Everyone witnessed a beam of light connecting the three Dharma treasures to Jiang Lan.
It was as if they had become Jiang Lan’s stumbling block before he could land his foot.
“How… how can this be?” The middle-aged man was in disbelief.
“He actually wants to obtain all three treasures at the same time?” The disciples of the other summits also realized that something was amiss.
“No way. Three? Is he crazy? He isn’t taking them one by one. Is he trying to kill himself?”
“He sure is confident in himself. However, if he’s careless, he might get himself into trouble. Even if he succeeds, there won’t be any benefits for him.”
“Just the stubbornness of the weak.”
Yes, because the Ninth Summit was too weak, or rather, this disciple was too weak. After being criticized by others, he started showing off.
If it was someone strong, they only needed to show their cultivation.
No one dared to say another word.
“If he really succeeds, doesn’t that mean he has an exceptional temperament?”
“Succeeds? How is that possible?”
“No, look! He’s going to put his foot down.”
Everyone looked over at that moment.
It was only now that they realized that Jiang Lan’s foot was slowly descending, and the light around the Dharma treasures was blossoming incessantly.
Everyone could tell that this was a sign of success.
The middle-aged man in charge looked at Jiang Lan, finding this unbelievable.
“I can’t believe he’s going to succeed. This—”
The other disciples were also watching. Most of them did not believe it. How could a newcomer at the second level of Qi Refinement have such a level of temperament?
However, the sound of a footstep heavily struck their doubts.
Da!
Jiang Lan’s foot had landed on the ground. A golden light bloomed from the Dharma treasures, followed by three Dharma treasures landing neatly in front of Jiang Lan.
Regardless of whether others believed it or not, the truth was right before their eyes.
“What a pity. He has such a strong temperament but such an ordinary innate talent.” The middle-aged man who was in charge sighed.
“Perhaps this is how he managed to remain on the Ninth Summit.”
If he had a high innate talent and such a unique temperament, he would have long been taken away by the other summit masters.
Jiang Lan had obtained five Dharma treasures. A spirit sword, a pair of boots, a small box, a set of flexible armor, and a small red gourd.
He didn’t try to get to know them better. Instead, he left immediately.
He just needed to go back and show them to his master.
His master would naturally tell him what they were.
Jiang Lan left, ignoring the disciples around him.
Actually, those people could have left after obtaining the treasures. They only stayed to watch the show.
Those people were momentarily speechless as they watched Jiang Lan leave.
After a long time, someone said,
“In the vast wilderness, if one cannot become an immortal, what can a great temperament do?”
Soon, everyone felt relieved.
Indeed.
Some people just lacked talent.
Hard work could determine a person’s bottom line, but innate talent determined a person’s upper limit.
Sometimes, some distance could not be surpassed by hard work.
It was even more so in this desolate world.
Immortals and mortals were the greatest difference. If one did not become an immortal, they would be mortal.
So what if he had a good temperament?
It was just that he would appear be calmer when facing an insurmountable distance.
…
Rather than arguing with those people, it was better for Jiang Lan to go back and cultivate. After all, they would no longer be on the same level for long.
He headed down the mountain.
“It’s getting dark. I’ll meet Master before going to the Netherworld Cave to cultivate.”
Jiang Lan stared at the darkening sky and muttered to himself.
Although he had signed in with the system, it would be a waste if he didn’t work hard.
A long time later, Jiang Lan arrived at the foot of the mountain and walked into the forest.
Boom!
All of a sudden, there was the sound of a powerful impact from a distance.
“Shameless. Kunlun will never let you off.” It was a female voice.
It sounded very nice.
Jiang Lan had heard it, but he only took a glance before turning around to leave.
“A very powerful attack. Her cultivation is not inferior to mine.”
Jiang Lan had no intention of participating in such a battle.
He looked like a cultivator who was only at the second-stage Qi Refinement realm.
He’ll mention it to Master when he returned.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Lan decided to take a detour and leave.
The location of the battle was coincidentally the shortcut he used.
The sky was getting dark. Jiang Lan had taken a long detour and believed that he should be very far away from those people.
He was about to reach the Ninth Summit.
Boom!
Jiang Lan, who was walking, suddenly heard the sound of an explosion again.
A figure flew over from afar.
There was a loud bang.
The figure crashed into a tree trunk.
It looked like a woman.
“You traitors,” came the woman’s deep voice.
Jiang Lan found the voice familiar. It sounded like the voice of the woman from earlier.
They had fought all the way here?
Jiang Lan was actually very curious. Were these people not afraid of being discovered by others if they fought like this?
However, Mount Kunlun was indeed very big. Very few people knew about the small skirmishes.
However, it seemed like he had been discovered.
