Jiang Lan floated in midair on his sword.
Jiang Lan maintained his speed without the slightest change.
Although he appeared to be in an ordinary state, he was already on high alert. He could gather his strength at any time and enter his battle state.
But soon, Jiang Lan was surprised.
"Disappeared?"Yes, disappeared.
In that instant, he had sensed the killing intent.
But after the killing intent appeared, not only did he not receive the attack, the feeling of being stared at had disappeared immediately after.
"Very discreet. I wonder what he thinks."
Jiang Lan didn't turn around but instead, he chose to continue forward. He felt like the other party should have some misgivings.
But he wasn't sure exactly what it was.
"Was he not confident in killing me directly? Or is it something else?"No matter what, he had to be careful when he went out in the future.
However, this feeling of being stared at was not good at all.
He wanted to find this person and get rid of him.
If this happened while he was transcending his tribulation, the problem would be huge.
"I guess I have to remain unnoticed in the future. I'll have to look for spells that diminish my presence."
His One Leaf Vision could do this.
However, he could not use it openly.
He had to find a spell from Kunlun.
"I'll cultivate first and get rid of the people following me today."
Once he sensed the other party's cultivation, he would be able to make a move.
…
After returning to the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan started cultivating.
He decided to leave the Ninth Summit every few months.
Since he had been targeted, he could only think of a solution.
Especially when the other party had revealed his killing intent.
If it was just normal tailing, he might just choose to hide in the Ninth Summit for a hundred years.
When it was time to transcend the tribulation, he would then go out again.
The stars flashed in the skies above the Ninth Summit.
Day and night alternated.
A few stars had even landed on the mountains.
Three years passed in a flash.
It was morning.
Jiang Lan emerged from the Netherworld Cave again.
This time he came out with his plants.
He was carrying the vegetative egg and the Udumbara Flower.
The Udumbara Flower was still alive. It was just that it didn't have much energy.
He would occasionally take it out to bask in the sun.
Its situation did not improve, but it did not worsen either.
It just maintained its state.
Today was the day for it to bask in the sun. At the same time, he could also let the vegetative egg bask in the sun too.
He placed his plants in the courtyard where he lived.
After watering them with spirit liquid, Jiang Lan didn't leave or start taking care of the courtyard.
Instead, he took out the Self Mirror.
This mirror was more effective when used under sunlight.
The Netherworld Cave wasn't a very suitable place for him to use it.
Then, Jiang Lan looked into the mirror with his back facing the sun.
The next moment, a beam of light landed on Jiang Lan's body. His eyes began to distort, as if his consciousness was being sucked into a mirror.
A moment later, Jiang Lan stood on the flat ground, facing a figure of light.
It had no appearance, but Jiang Lan could feel that his opponent's strength was equal to his.
However, he tried and found that the other party didn't have his Spiritual Suppression Force.
It looked like the mirror could not simulate his divine power.
The restrictions on this Dharma treasure were not small.
Then, Jiang Lan made his move. He didn't use any other power except his Power of Nine Bulls and Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel.
The other party also moved.
Boom!
Boom!
The two sides continued to attack, their figures flashing in space.
A powerful force whistled past.
At this moment, Jiang Lan felt an air current appear in front of him.
It was the Eye Of The Wind Storm.
Facing the Eye Of The Wind Storm, Jiang Lan didn't hesitate in the slightest and directly punched out.
Boom!
The storm dissipated, but the other party had already circled behind Jiang Lan.
This was the use of spells.
Jiang Lan knew that he was indeed lacking in this aspect.
However, this was not the first time he had faced such a situation.
Zi!
Lightning suddenly appeared behind him.
Lightning Imprisonment.
The moment he trapped the other party.
Jiang Lan's fist struck the light shadow.
Bang!
The two fists collided.
Air ripples could be seen.
Jiang Lan wanted to defeat it with a single punch, and so did his opponent.
The wind howled.
Both their powers repelled each other.
The two sides retreated some distance away from each other.
When Jiang Lan landed, he found traces of lightning on the ground.
It wasn't him who had left it there.
Not good.
Boom!
Lightning descended from the sky as thousands of thunderclaps roared.
And his feet were tangled by his opponent's Lightning Imprisonment.
Of course, this was not a problem. The problem was that this was set up in advance.
The Power of Nine Bulls came again.
Boom!
…
In the courtyard, Jiang Lan opened his eyes.
"Lost again."
Actually, he could win if he used his divine power.
But this would make it an unfair match.
When his strength was equal to that of the projection, it was really difficult for him to win.
He lacked experience.
Thus, he decided to continue the next time.
Such training was very effective for him. However, it did not mean that he had to continuously train and learn in such a way.
Rather, he had to train in it every now and then after a period of consolidation.
With this mirror, if he were to encounter something similar in the future, he would be able to find the corresponding solution immediately.
In three years, Jiang Lan had already consolidated his Void Refinement cultivation base.
It wouldn't take long for his Power of Nine Bulls to reach the highest level.
His Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel was still quite far away from full mastery though.
He was already familiar with the other spells and had learned everything he needed to learn.
He had even studied more on array formations recently.
With his newfound knowledge, he had set up quite a number of defensive and offensive formations on the square of the Ninth Summit.
However, it wasn't perfect. If he had any further understanding of it, he would modify it.
As for his cultivation on the surface, he had already entered the perfected Golden Core Realm.
"I have perfected my Golden Core. In a few years, Master will find a place for me to break through to the Essence Soul Realm."
Breaking through to the Essence Soul Realm required some form of training and lots of time.
It was similar to advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm or the Golden Core Realm.
When he advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he went to the Third Summit's mystic realm.
When he advanced to the Golden Core Realm, he went to the Peaceful Void Lake.
Therefore, his master would definitely find a place for him to advance to the Essence Soul Realm.
He could only wait and see what kind of place it was.
Jiang Lan didn't really care. Right now, what he needed to care about was the people in the dark.
All these years, he had gone out occasionally.
However, he would be targeted every time.
As long as he was in a remote place.
The other party would release killing intent.
"He should have had the confidence to kill me with a single strike, but he still didn't take action. Why is that so?"
"He has hidden himself very well. I am unable to detect his cultivation."
Over the years, Jiang Lan had also cultivated spells that allowed him to go unnoticed.
However, he never used it.
This was so that he would not alert the enemy.
Once he used it, he was worried that the person staring at him would notice.
By then, he wouldn't be able to lure them out even if he wanted to.
He still had to go out for a walk today to see if there was any way to make the other party give himself away.
Of course, the easiest way was to leave Kunlun, but it was somewhat risky.
Jiang Lan did not fly on his sword. Instead, he walked out of the Ninth Summit.
While he was walking, he could see if there was anything he needed to tend to in the Ninth Summit.
However, just as he descended the mountain, he met two people. It looked like they were going to the Ninth Summit.
They were not really considered strangers to him.
They barely knew each other.
One was Jing Ting of the First Summit, and the other was Lin Siya of the Third Summit.
"Is Junior Brother Jiang going out?" Jing Ting was the first to speak when he saw Jiang Lan descend the mountain.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, what's the matter?" Jiang Lan asked softly.
He did not have much interaction with anyone.
There was a high chance that the two of them were here for something.
Lin Siya looked at Jiang Lan, not knowing what to say.
He could only look at Jing Ting.
Jing Ting broke out in a cold sweat and found it difficult to speak.
However, when he thought about how his Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit had an impressive temperament, he thought that he probably did not mind or care about such a matter.
Thus, he became somewhat relieved.
