Chapter 217: Comprehending The Heavens and Earth
The next day.
Jiang Lan came to the peak of the Ninth Summit to look for his master.
“Go to the Eighth Summit to find the demonic dragon?” Mo Zhengdong was rather surprised.
This was to hone his Dragon Slaying Sword.
“Yes.” Jiang Lan nodded.
If he cultivated alone, he would definitely not be able to train as well as if he had an opponent.
“Go on, I’ll go and notify the summit leader.” Mo Zhengdong did not ask any further.
This matter was not difficult at all.
Even if it was difficult, the other party still had to give way. Whether Jiang Lan could win or not was not a small matter.
Although not many people thought well of it,…
What if he won?
After thanking his master, Jiang Lan headed straight for the Eighth Summit.
A moment later.
He arrived in front of Demon Dragon Lake, but he did not see the Eighth Summit’s Summit Leader.
Instead, he saw Senior Brother Lu Jian.
“Greetings, Senior Brother.” Jiang Lan lowered his head slightly and greeted him.
Lu Jian was dressed in white and had a warm smile on his face.
“Master is not here. I’ll bring Junior Brother over.”
True Immortals were powerful.
In the past, Jiang Lan couldn’t see clearly, but now that he could, he was pretty shocked.
It turned out that Lu Jian was not an ordinary Immortal, but a True Immortal who had already surpassed the Human Immortal threshold.
It was no wonder he could follow the Eighth Summit’s Summit Leader to challenge the Heavenly Human Race.
“Junior Brother, are you preparing for the challenge a month later?” Lu Jian asked softly.
“Yes, I want to try my best,” Jiang Lan replied.
Lu Jian looked at Jiang Lan and didn’t ask anymore. He then brought Jiang Lan to the lake and said.
“Is it here or do you want to go into the lake?”
“Can we enter the lake?” Jiang Lan asked.
He had never seen anyone enter the lake to cultivate before.
Apart from when they challenged the demonic dragon, everyone cultivated by the lake.
“Master isn’t here.” Lu Jian paused for a moment. He felt that his Junior Brother might be a cautious person, so he added.
“Every summit’s success or failure is part of Kunlun’s honor. Therefore, the participants more or less have special privileges that they have never had before. Junior Brother, don’t mind it.”
Jiang Lan naturally understood the meaning behind Lu Jian’s words.
Since the Eighth Summit’s Summit Leader was not around, no one cared.
As for what he said after that, it was actually just to change Jiang Lan’s mindset. The Dragon Race came for the Goddess this time, and the outcome of the challenge between Jiang Lan and the representative of the Dragon Race would have a greater impact.
His Senior Brother had said every summit because he did not want to purposely point out this fact.
“Many thanks, Senior Brother.” Jiang Lan bowed his head in thanks.
Then, he walked towards the middle of the lake.
After arriving at the center of the lake, he closed his eyes in an attempt to find the demonic dragon.
However, when he arrived, the demonic dragon had discovered him.
The demonic dragon’s aura rushed towards Jiang Lan.
Boom!
His Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent also entered the lake.
Suddenly, the calm surface of the lake started churning.
The lake water began to form a vortex.
At the center of the vortex was below Jiang Lan’s feet.
“Tsk tsk, what a commotion.”
Lu Jian watched as Jiang Lan floated on the surface of the lake. He watched as a huge whirlpool appeared beneath his feet and the figure of a demonic dragon that appeared in the whirlpool. He watched as the two competed and felt a little guilty.
If Master came back, he would be in trouble.
Forget it. He would go to the Second Summit to lie low.
The surrounding people were naturally affected.
They were a little surprised, especially when the calm lake became so chaotic. If their master knew about this, the culprit would have to be sent to isolation.
Who was so bold?
“This lake is Master’s Dao Enlightenment Ground. Who has the guts to stir up the lake like this?”
“None of the Senior Brothers dare to do so, not even Lu Jian, who is most valued by Master.”
“Look at the center of the lake. Isn’t that the Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit?”
“Is the Ninth Summit here to provoke Master? Are the two summits going to war?”
“Really? When is it happening?”
All of them were eager to give it a try.
“The Ninth Summit only has one Junior Brother. How do we fight? I hope that Master can fall out with Martial Uncle of the First Summit.”
Jiang Lan had never heard of these comments, so he didn’t know how great the effects of entering the lake were.
At this moment, he was once again immersed in fighting the demonic dragon.
They did not actually fight, it was just a clash of wills.
The demonic dragon was naturally severely restricted, or else Jiang Lan might have already lost.
Jiang Lan stood on the surface of the lake. The silhouette of a demonic dragon could be seen in the giant vortex.
The demonic dragon’s aura and the Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent clashed incessantly.
It never stopped.
They stood in confrontation.
Time flew.
Suddenly, the two auras disappeared.
A month later, Jiang Lan slowly opened his eyes.
He was still standing on the surface of the lake. The vortex beneath his feet was still there. He could still see the angry dragon.
At this moment, Jiang Lan felt a thick Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent in his hands.
But it felt no different from before.
He could not understand this change, but he was certain that he had gained a lot during this month.
He put his hand down and looked down at the demonic dragon at the bottom of the lake and the lake water that was swirling around him. For some reason, he suddenly had an epiphany.
It was as if all the changes in the world had appeared before his eyes.
It was a little clear and fuzzy, but his mind was unusually clear.
It was a blessing in disguise.
He closed his eyes.
He began to sense his surroundings.
He could hear changes in his surroundings. The demonic dragon had hidden under the lake, and the lake water gradually calmed down.
It was a calm feeling, as if the world was in his heart.
At this moment, Jiang Lan had a feeling that he had knocked on the door of comprehending the dao.
…
“Enlightenment?”
Jiu Zhongtian was somewhat surprised.
At this moment, Jiu Zhongtian was sitting in a pavilion and Lu Jian was standing behind him.
“Master, although Junior Brother’s cultivation talent is lacking, he is not bad in other aspects. In fact, he is rather dazzling. Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent is still a sword intent. Among those of the same age, there are not many in our Eighth Summit who can compare to Junior Brother,” Lu Jian said softly.
Jiu Zhongtian took a deep breath and said calmly.
“You will be punished as much as you deserve. There’s no point in saying more.”
Lu Jian did not say anything anymore.
He would have to face a tough time after his challenge was over.
This Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit had caused too much of a commotion and did not understand what he meant previously.
He had told him that his master was not around and was implying that it would be better if Jiang Lan caused as small a commotion as possible.
…
Early in the morning.
There was a figure standing on the surface of the lake. Nothing disturbed him.
A breeze blew across his face, ruffling his clothes and hair.
This was naturally Jiang Lan who was in a state of enlightenment.
At this moment, the aura of enlightenment on his body began to fade. His calm eyes slowly opened, and what entered his eyes was the sky with a glimmer.
The sun had yet to rise.
“What time is it?”
This was Jiang Lan’s question.
When he woke up the last time, he knew that a month had passed because he took notice of the time, but later on, he entered a state of enlightenment. He entered a state of forgetfulness.
It was impossible to estimate the time.
He did not know how long had passed.
Fortunately, he was beginning to comprehend the Great Dao.
He now had traces of the Dao in his heart. However, if he wanted to comprehend something, he needed a long period of comprehension.
But with the beginning, the rest would be much easier.
“It looks like I’ll have to try to advance my cultivation base to the Void Refinement Realm soon.”
Many people had definitely seen this epiphany of his.
His cultivation could not remain still either.
Splash!
Jiang Lan arrived at the lake. There was no one around.
This was unusual.
Usually, there would be people cultivating here all night. Today, there was no one.
Ignoring all this, he looked into the pavilion.
He wanted to see if his Martial Uncle of the Eighth Summit was around.
However, all he saw was a blue-clothed girl sleeping on the table.
Jiang Lan looked over.
It was Xiao Yu.
