Chapter 232: Master Went Missing
The Goddess Diagram reflected a problem in the Jade Pool.
Other than Xiao Yu, who would occasionally change her position and place of rest, nothing else would change.
Now that there was suddenly a strand of black energy, no matter how one looked at it, it didn’t seem normal.
The black energy originated from the edge of the pool, which meant that it didn’t come from the inside of the Jade Pool.
But what could affect the Jade Pool?
This thing was incompatible with the Jade Pool. Although it was weak, it was still there.
It wouldn’t affect him for a short period of time. However, it would only bring about bad changes over time.
“It’s silently affecting the Jade Pool of Kunlun. I don’t know if it’s man-made or a natural occurrence.”
Jiang Lan placed the Goddess Diagram on his lap and began to think.
“It would be fine if it’s natural. However, what I fear is that it’s man-made. This means that the other party’s means are incredible. I wonder when Xiao Yu will find out and if the summit leaders know about the Jade Pool’s situation.”
This matter was more troublesome than the demons.
Jiang Lan frowned.
No matter what, the demons were unable to approach Kunlun.
They could at most act outside of Kunlun.
And the target would be him.
However, this black aura was different. It had bypassed everything and entered the center of the Jade Pool.
If it was done by someone, he must be up to something.
The person had even directly affected the Jade Pool.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Lan placed his hand on the Goddess Diagram and tried to sense this wisp of black energy.
After a moment, he retracted his hand.
He was unable to sense it, but the black aura didn’t affect him from using the Goddess Diagram.
However, no one knew when he would be affected.
“I need to take care of it.”
Jiang Lan muttered to himself.
The Jade Pool was formed from the essence of the Kunlun mountain range, and the black qi could silently invade it.
Perhaps it had something to do with the mountains near Kunlun.
He would go out tomorrow to take a look. If he did not find anything, he could only think of a way to let his master and the rest know.
…
The next morning.
Jiang Lan finished his cultivation and began to familiarize himself with his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel.
He discovered that after comprehending the Dao, his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel seemed to have taken a new step.
It would take some time to completely grasp it.
The Power Of Nine Tribulations was still unreasonable and hard to master. It was not as easy to grasp as the Power Of Nine Bulls.
But he had no problems with it at the moment.
As long as he did not advance and as long as his Power of Nine Bull’s foundation was stable, he would not lose control of his Power Of Nine Tribulations.
The sky was bright.
Jiang Lan left the Netherworld Cave. After he finished watering his plants, he headed down the Ninth Summit.
He wanted to listen to the other Kunlun disciples’ analysis of the situation in the Grand Desolate World and see if there were any new changes.
Perhaps, he could circle out the mastermind behind that wisp of black gas.
At the pill refinement area.
There were more people here in the morning.
“I feel that the prices of pills have decreased recently, and the resources given out have also increased.”
“That’s right. The Ghostland Ba Country is getting restless. I don’t know what they’re up to.”
“From what it looks like now, the sect seems to be preparing for war.”
“If we were to fight, wouldn’t it take decades or even centuries?”
“Who knows? I’d better cultivate quickly. If I don’t become an immortal, I’m nothing.”
After listening to a few sentences, Jiang Lan changed his location. The discussion that followed was merely on their dreams that they had after they became immortals.
If they were to become an immortal, what kind of life would they live?
But Jiang Lan knew that after becoming a Human Immortal, one would just be a child who had just learned how to walk.
Among the immortals, Human Immortals were just too weak.
True Immortals with immortal bodies were still alright.
However, after comprehending the Dao, the feeling of insignificance would appear again.
Noon.
Jiang Lan arrived at the place where the lecture was being held.
There was no lecture today, but there were still many people cultivating here.
“The Wutong Mountain seems to have suffered a great defeat. The Heavenly Human Race is about to attack the Wutong Mountain. The Heavenly Human Race genius should have reached the state of being able to forgo emotions. It’s said that phenomenas had appeared in the sky at that time, and the figure of a Heavenly Human descended.”
“I also heard that Mount Wutong sent some people away. Now, they are fighting to their deaths. However, I have a strange feeling. The Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race isn’t a weak faction. How did they get beaten up by the Heavenly Human Race? ”
“Perhaps it’s because the genius of the Heavenly Human Race is immensely strong, or perhaps it’s because the Wutong Mountain was severely injured earlier. Who knows?”
“That’s true. This isn’t something we should know about. However, the Devil Race and the Magus Immortals of Mount Numinous have already encountered each other. I heard that they might start a fight. It’s still unknown if they are fighting now.”
“The Demon Race and the Dragon Race have not done anything recently. I’ve not heard of any small actions from the Demon Race.”
“These are too far away. Tell me about the nearest one. Do you know of the Ghostland Ba Country?”
“Ghostland Ba Country? I’ve received some news that they’re about to make a move, and it’s highly likely that their target is Kunlun.”
“That’s right, I’ve also heard of it. According to the current situation of the various large factions, the Ghostland Ba Country might come towards us. It’s just that we haven’t received any news of the battle. So I don’t know what will happen.”
“They might really attack. I feel that some of the woods outside are filled with a ghostly aura.”
Everyone sighed.
Previously, they could analyze the situation rationally from the perspective of a third party.
Now that it was their turn, they started to panic a little. They could not tell exactly what would happen.
Even though they weren’t of much use before achieving immortality, what if they could aid in picking up loot in the battlefield?
If one couldn’t become cannon fodder, one might still be able to become a logistician.
Jiang Lan walked one more round before heading towards the Ninth Summit.
It was getting dark, and he had no intention of going out to check now.
This was because the appearance of Ghostland Ba Country gave him a rough idea of who the mastermind might be.
Perhaps the black aura in the Jade Pool was ghost qi.
Ghostland Ba Country was a great power that had been strong for a long time. They lived in peace and rarely went out, but whenever they went out, corpses would lie everywhere they passed.
Even the demons did not wish to provoke this group of ghostly figures.
They looked like humans, yet not humans. They looked like demons, yet not demons. They had steel-like bones and green saplings and sharp fangs. They were brutal and cruel, like evil spirits from the abyss.
If they took the initiative to attack Kunlun, the war would definitely last for many years.
Jiang Lan needed to make preparations to guard the Ninth Summit.
Moreover, he needed to clarify things and see the attitude his master and the other summit leaders had toward this matter.
Then he would shift the topic of conversation to the Jade Pool.
As he was concerned about his fiancée, it would not seem too abrupt if he asked more.
This way, the problem could be solved.
However, what he was afraid of was that nothing would be found even after his master went to investigate the Jade Pool.
In that case, he would have to continue to investigate on his own. After all, he was the one who understood the changes in the Jade Pool the most.
It was not easy for others to detect the changes in the Jade Pool.
Even Ao Longyu, who was the Goddess of the Jade Pool, might not be able to detect it.
After a while.
Jiang Lan came to the Ninth Summit to meet his master.
Except…
When he arrived at the peak of the Ninth Summit, he discovered that there was no sign of his master.
“Master isn’t here?”
Jiang Lan was slightly surprised. Now was the period of eruption of the Netherworld’s Entrance. His master seldom left the Ninth Summit during this period of time.
“Is he in the Netherworld Cave?”
This was indeed possible.
Jiang Lan immediately rushed to the Netherworld Cave.
However, other than his straw hut, there was nothing else. His master was not in the Netherworld Cave.
Jiang Lan didn’t leave to search. He stayed in the Netherworld Cave in peace, planning to cultivate.
At the same time, he wanted to see if there were any changes to the Goddess Diagram.
He opened the album. Fortunately, there were no additional changes.
The night passed uneventfully.
Early in the morning, Jiang Lan walked out of the Netherworld Cave and arrived at the peak of the Ninth Summit.
But…
His master was still not here.
