Chapter 361: The Sixth Deity Position

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After walking out of the Netherworld Cave.

Jiang Lan looked towards the peak of the Ninth Summit.

Then, he walked forward.

This seclusion was different from the others he had. He needed to inform his master.

His master must have sensed something.

After all, the array formation in the Netherworld Cave had been activated before. In other words, something had actually come out from the Netherworld’s Entrance.

Leaving was impossible, so there was only one possibility.

It was detected by his master and was killed by him.

His master knew his condition, but he did not interfere too much.

He wanted to let him face it himself.

“Master.” Jiang Lan saw his master at the peak of the Ninth Summit.

“You’re awake?” Mo Zhengdong waved at Jiang Lan.

“Come here.”

As Jiang Lan approached, Mo Zhengdong placed a finger on his forehead.

After a moment, he retracted it.

“Looks like there are no hidden dangers.”

If there was nothing wrong with Jiang Lan’s mind, then all was good.

Jiang Lan also let out a sigh of relief. Then, he explained how he had entered the place with his mind. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He hoped to ask his master what he would find later so that he could guard against it.

Mo Zhengdong smiled and said.

“I can’t answer you.”

Jiang Lan was surprised.

Then, he heard his master continue.

“The entrance to the Netherworld doesn’t affect me at all. That’s why I’ve never been dragged in in all these years.”

Jiang Lan: “…”

Was his master saying that he was too weak?

“It’s not bad for you to experience this a few more times,” Mo Zhengdong said.

“Perhaps it is not a small opportunity. It will be of great help to the future.

Since you’re about to become an immortal, it should bring about some benefits to your transcendence.”

Jiang Lan lowered his head in understanding.

Indeed.

Even though he had not tempered his Golden Body for the past few years.

However, his state of mind was far superior to before. Through years of fighting, he had gained more experience, and his control over his strength had reached a level that he had never reached before.

Although the improvement was not that great, the difference was like a thousand miles.

Without this opportunity, it would take a long time to make up for this gap.

After all, he rarely fought for long periods of time.

Usually, it was a one-hit kill.

He did not engage in any long battles.

Of course, he would not choose to fight a war of attrition even in the future.

He still needed to kill the enemy as soon as possible.

He did not want to give the other party any chance.

…

After bidding farewell to his master, Jiang Lan went to the plaza to confirm the time.

Five and a half years in seclusion.

Today would mark his 480th year in the sect.

It was summer.

There were many leaves on the square and they needed time to clean up.

He wasn’t in a hurry to do all this. Instead, he went to the courtyard.

He wanted to see if his Senior Sister would come today.

However, she did not.

The courtyard was relatively clean, the flowers and bushes had been taken care of, and there was even less dust in the room.

In other words, the courtyard was often cleaned.

The vegetative egg showed no signs of weakening.

After seeing this, he knew that his Senior Sister often came here to clean this place for him.

Jiang Lan thought for a moment.

He felt that a dragon could actually clean the place with its tail as long as it lay there.

It seemed rather convenient.

Woosh!

Sword light appeared.

He did not linger.

Jiang Lan rode his sword towards the Jade Pool.

…

The sun was shining brightly.

The sky was clear and the leaves did not sway.

There was a burning sensation.

A sword light headed towards the Jade Pool.

It was Jiang Lan.

The scorching summer heat didn’t affect him at all. His surface cultivation base was at the mid-stage Void Refinement Realm and his hidden cultivation base was at the late-stage Void Refinement Realm.

He was no longer affected by the weather.

However, the summer sun this year was indeed hotter than before.

Rumble.

On his way to the Jade Pool, he suddenly heard the sound of thunder.

…

It was where the Deity Position was located.

“Has the time arrived?”

Five years ago, he had heard a rumble as well and knew that a new Deity Position was about to appear.

However, it required a process.

In these past five years, the other party should have completed the process.

In other words, the Deity Position was about to appear.

He did not know which side this Deity Position belonged to.

His guess was the Ba Country.

He had only interacted with Ba Country before, so he understood its progress.

Because of him, Ba Country’s progress had improved a lot.

Therefore, they had the highest chance of obtaining the Deity Position.

Jiang Lan did not stop his sword. Instead, he pretended he did not hear it.

He was rather curious about Imperial Lord Xi He.

This time, would he allow the Eighth Prince to obtain more opportunities? The Eighth Prince already had many fortuitous opportunities.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Lan didn’t see any changes in the sky above the Kunlun Main Hall.

Previously, there was a flash of light, but not this time.

It seemed like Imperial Lord Xi He didn’t intend to make a move.

The Eighth Prince would not be able to obtain any more fortuitous opportunities.

Just as they were about to reach the Jade Pool, a grand and majestic voice traveled down from the sky like thunder.

“Ancient Imperial Lower Palace Ba Country’s Imperial Lord Youdu.”

This voice was majestic and vast, making Jiang Lan feel as if it was ringing in his ears.

This was just like him.

They were all from the Ancient Imperial Lower Palace.

“No wonder it sounded so loud. So it turns out it’s because he has the same prefix as me.”

Jiang Lan was confused as well.

The Ancient Imperial Lower Palace had two Deity Positions?

What about the Ancient Imperial Upper Palace?

Did the Northern, Southern, and Western Palaces also have a second Deity Position?

Jiang Lan didn’t feel like this was so.

This was because the Dragon Race had fought for the Ancient Imperial Upper Palace and not the Northern Palace.

However, he did not know if there was any difference.

If there was only one Deity Position in the Northern, Southern, and Western Palaces, no matter how one looked at it, having a Deity Position in these palaces would be slightly better than having a Deity Position in the Lower Palace.

After that, he stopped thinking.

This time it was Ba Country.

No one knew who was next.

Was it going to be the Magus Immortals of Mount Nominous that was previously competing with the Underground’s Devil Race, or the Heavenly Human Race of the Central Plains or the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race?

As for the Qilin Race and the Giant Spirit Tribe in the Eastern Wastelands…

They should be ranked last.

However, it was also unknown how many Deity Positions there were.

Imperial Lord Xi He had said before that there weren’t many Deity Positions.

However, six Deity Positions had already appeared.

He did not know how many there were left for the others to snatch.

If the fight for the Deity Position was over, someone would definitely place their attention on him.

It was because those who had a Deity Position would know how weak he was.

He stopped thinking about it.

He should become stronger as soon as possible.

After all, he had yet to achieve his goal of seeing through his master’s cultivation level.

He was far from being powerful.

Moments later, Jiang Lan arrived outside the Jade Pool.

But before he could enter, he saw a figure coming out.

Dressed in blue and white clothing, her hair fluttered in the wind.

A peerless figure with peerless beauty.

Unbelievably beautiful.

She was flying on her sword barefoot.

Her dress swayed in the wind.

Jiang Lan looked at her in surprise.

Were his Senior Sister’s shoes taken away again?

That’s right, it was naturally Ao Longyu.

Under normal circumstances, Ao Longyu was practically a perfect fairy.

Other than being aloof, she had no flaws.

Perhaps being aloof made her look even more perfect.

Ao Longyu arrived in front of Jiang Lan. She looked at Jiang Lan before slowly shrinking.

As she shrank, a smile appeared on her originally calm face. Then, she raised her foot and pouted.

“Junior Brother, look. Master’s spirit beast took my shoes away again. I’ve been barefoot all these days.”

Jiang Lan: “…”

Didn’t dragons not need to wear shoes? Couldn’t his Senior Sister have just transformed into her true form?

Xiao Yu stood on Jiang Lan’s flying sword and smiled happily at him.

“We meet again, Junior Brother.”
