Chapter 200: Entering The Jade Pool Again
When he reached the edge of the mountain, he felt the Jade Pool rejecting him.
He was unable to step onto the Jade Pool Mountain.
Only the Goddess could enter the mountain.
“Senior Sister.” Jiang Lan lowered his head slightly.
“Can’t you come up?” Ao Longyu asked Jiang Lan softly.
She could also sense the rejection. Ever since she became the Goddess, no one else had stepped into the Jade Pool except for her.
For some reason.
It might have something to do with the Jade Pool.
When there was no owner here, anyone could enter it.
However, once there was a Goddess, it forbade people from entering.
“Yes.” Jiang Lan nodded slightly.
“It feels like there’s an insurmountable chasm in the middle. It’s not an array formation and there’s no way for me to break it.”
He could clearly sense that the Jade Pool rejected anyone other than the Goddess. Even though he had the strength of a perfected Human Immortal, it was impossible for him to approach her.
It was unknown how strong one needed to be to break through this heavenly chasm.
Perhaps no immortal could.
It was a natural protective barrier.
Thirty years had passed, and his cultivation base had successfully progressed to the perfected Human Immortal Realm.
It was faster than expected.
He had consolidated his cultivation base and was proficient in all kinds of spells.
There was no need to familiarize himself with some Dharma treasures as they have become useless at his cultivation level, so he gave up on that.
However, he did not neglect his spell techniques.
What if he needed to use them one day?
After some time, he would attempt to enter the True Immortal realm.
The Human Immortal Realm was just a transitory phase.
It could be fast or slow.
He chose to breeze through it and used everything he had to steadily advance.
Although his pace was a little fast, his progress was steady.
He ensured that he would not have an unstable foundation.
He had wandered around the other summits a few times. He had learned that the battle between the dragons and the demons was about to stop, so it wouldn’t be long before the dragons came.
Hopefully, he would already be a True Immortal by then.
Jiang Lan didn’t think too much about this. What he was more concerned about was how to plant flowers near the Jade Pool.
There were many small rocks around the Jade Pool. Naturally, there were also many large rocks as well.
The grass and wild flowers grew sparsely.
There was a withered tree near the edge.
But he couldn’t check up on it.
How could he check on the environment and soil if he couldn’t even enter the Jade Pool?
Should he teach Senior Sister Ao how to plant flowers and examine the soil from where he stood?
This was possible.
He just did not know what Senior Sister Ao would think about this. After all, it was more convenient for him to teach her in the Ninth Summit if he had to.
While Jiang Lan was deep in thought, Ao Longyu stretched out her hand.
“Junior Brother, raise your hand and touch my palm.”
Ao Longyu’s crisp voice sounded.
It seemed like there was a way.
The Jade Pool was a mysterious place, so Jiang Lan didn’t know what Ao Longyu wanted to do. Perhaps as a Goddess, she had special privileges.
Speaking of which, he was suddenly curious. If he held the Goddess Diagram, could he enter?
A thought flashed through his mind, and he pushed it away. Once he tried, he would be easily discovered.
At that time, it would be hard to explain.
He was simply giving himself trouble.
He just had to listen to his Senior Sister’s arrangements.
Jiang Lan’s hand touched Ao Longyu’s, and their fingers met.
“Junior Brother’s hands seem to be bigger.” Ao Longyu’s voice was as calm as ever.
It seemed like it was difficult to sense emotions from her voice.
It was not completely empty. It was just weak.
After the two hands touched, light began to appear. It was the marriage contract resonating.
Jiang Lan was a little surprised. Then, a faint light covered him. It was a faint light that extended from Ao Longyu’s body.
When the light completely covered him, Ao Longyu lowered her hand.
“Can you still feel the rejection now?”
Ao Longyu took a step back, letting Jiang Lan see if he could enter.
“I feel a bit, but it shouldn’t be a problem.” After answering the question, Jiang Lan took a step forward.
In the end, he safely stepped on the grounds of the Jade Pool.
Ao Longyu heaved a faint sigh of relief.
Jiang Lan saw her reaction and asked.
“Senior Sister has never tried it before?”
“Junior brother didn’t come before.” Ao Longyu looked at Jiang Lan.
Then, she added.
“Also, I never had a fiancé before.”
When Ao Longyu mentioned fiancé, Jiang Lan naturally understood that it was probably because of the engagement.
They were tied together.
That was why she had a way to let him in.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for a foreigner to enter.
Of course, there was another meaning, which was that he only let him enter because he was her fiancé.
If he wasn’t her fiancé, she wouldn’t have let him in.
As for whether it was the former or the latter, Jiang Lan didn’t ask.
“I’m going to take a look at that tree,” Jiang Lan said.
He was rather curious about that tree.
The tree trunk was there, but it could not grow. Furthermore, the tree in the Jade Pool might not be simple.
“Wait.” Ao Longyu stopped Jiang Lan.
“Junior Brother, look at me.”
Jiang Lan looked at Ao Longyu with doubt. Then, he saw the normal Ao Longyu shrinking again.
Then, she took the form of Xiao Yu.
“Alright, Junior Brother. Go ahead.” Xiao Yu smiled.
It was hard to understand Xiao Yu’s actions.
“I’m worried that Junior Brother will think that it’s two different people, so it’s better for me to show you the change.”
“When you just came over, you addressed me pretty awkwardly.” Xiao Yu came to Jiang Lan’s side and said.
“…”
Awkwardly?
“Besides, if Junior Brother sees the normal me, you wouldn’t call me Xiao Yu, right?” Xiao Yu and Jiang Lan walked side by side.
“The normal you wouldn’t smile at me either.” Jiang Lan defended himself.
Xiao Yu fell into deep thought.
“That’s true too.”
She was still not used to it.
“Then how about Junior Brother calls me Xiao Yu in my normal form when you are comfortable with it?” Xiao Yu asked in a negotiating tone.
Jiang Lan nodded slightly in agreement.
This was not difficult for him.
The difficult part was on Xiao Yu.
Jiang Lan arrived in front of the tree. He wanted to see what was going on with this tree.
Of course, he signed in before checking on the tree.
[Ding!]
[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the gift of the Great Dao. You have obtained the Immortal Essence Pill.]
[Immortal Essence Pill: It contains pure immortal power. One can absorb its immortal power to recover. One can also let the immortal power flow through all your meridians to increase one’s cultivation level.]
An ordinary introduction, an ordinary pill.
It seemed that signing in here was no different from signing in in the Netherworld Cave.
Jiang Lan was not disappointed. It had already become a habit.
This was an elixir that he had often gotten over the past thirty years.
It was beneficial to his cultivation.
That was enough.
Jiang Lan took a look at the tree and felt that it might be a peach tree.
Then, he squatted down to check if its root was still there.
However, when he lifted up the soil, he discovered that there was a faint glow on the tree roots.
And this light stabbed into the roots like a needle.
This situation left him a bit surprised. Jiang Lan didn’t make too many guesses. He activated his Eyes of Truth.
Then, he saw a worm entrenched in the tree roots.
The light came from it.
It was a Cloudworm.
It was tiny and it coiled itself around the roots.
When the root dies, the worm dies.
“It’s a Cloudworm. It will be fine if Senior Sister roars at the roots.
This bug is easy to kill.” Jiang Lan looked at Xiao Yu who was squatting at the side and said.
Xiaoyu: “???”
How should she roar at it?
Seeing Xiao Yu’s confusion, Jiang Lan explained.
“Use your dragon roar.”
“Just a roar?” Xiao Yu was in disbelief.
She did not know of this.
Of course, it wasn’t to question Jiang Lan. It was just… embarrassing.
“Yes, it’s the easiest and most convenient.” Jiang Lan nodded.
“…” After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yu made Jiang Lan turn around.
“No eavesdropping, and no peeking.”
