nWhen they looked at Jiang Lan, they discovered that Jiang Lan didn’t have any defenses up at all. He simply walked amidst the Netherworld aura.

n

n

nThe Netherworld aura was unable to affect him in the slightest.

n

n

nIt was as if he had fused with the Netherworld aura.

n

n

nThey did not interfere with each other.

n

n

nWas this his temperament?

n

n

nWhat level of mental fortitude was needed to achieve this?

n

n

nDisregarding the influence of the Netherworld aura, his heart was as calm as a mirror and as flexible and tolerant as water.

n

n

nWhether it was Ao Longyu or the others, they had only heard that the disciple of the Ninth Summit had an extraordinary temperament, but they had never faced his extraordinariness directly.

n

n

nSeeing him today, it was truly better to see it for themselves than to just hear about it.

n

n

nIt was not without reason that this junior brother could stay in the Ninth Summit and possess such cultivation resources.

n

n

nIf the others had half of this junior brother’s temperament, they would be able to stay in the Ninth Summit, right?

n

n

n“What sort of disposition does Junior Brother possess to be able to walk so casually in the Netherworld Cave?” Jing Ting couldn’t help but ask.

n

n

nJiang Lan glanced at the three of them before shaking his head.

n

n

n“It doesn’t have much to do with one’s temperament. I’m just used to it.”

n

n

nJing Ting and the others didn’t believe it.

n

n

nThis Netherworld aura was not something that could be easily gotten used to.

n

n

nIf he was really used to it, it would definitely have something to do with the Netherworld creatures.

n

n

nFor example, cultivating the Netherworld cultivation techniques.

n

n

nBut anyone could tell that Jiang Lan had cultivated the Kunlun Heart Sutra.

n

n

nThere was no sign of him being affected by the aura of the Netherworld at all.

n

n

nThis was something that could only be done by stabilizing one’s mind and not being disturbed.

n

n

nJiang Lan didn’t care whether they believed him or not.

n

n

nIn any case, he had gotten used to it bit by bit. The improvement of his temperament only made it easier for him to get used to it.

n

n

nJiang Lan then brought the three of them to the Netherworld passageway.

n

n

nIt was still that well.

n

n

n“We’re here. The well connects to the Netherworld, but we can only look at it directly after becoming Immortals,” Jiang Lan explained.

n

n

nAo Longyu and the others nodded. They had no intention of checking the well. Only those who achieved immortality could do so. They were still a distance away from Immortal Ascension.

n

n

nHowever, they also saw that there was a small house in the Netherworld Cave. It looked like there was really someone living there.

n

n

nThis junior brother really lives here?

n

n

nWasn’t this too terrifying?

n

n

nAfter giving them a rough understanding of the Netherworld Cave, Jiang Lan paid them no mind.

n

n

nThey were going to be outside the cave and would only enter occasionally.

n

n

nAfter they left, Jiang Lan returned to his small room.

n

n

nAs there were people, he planned to advance the Essence Soul realm two days later instead.

n

n

nTwo days passed in a flash.

n

n

nJiang Lan was still sitting in the Netherworld Cave.

n

n

nIndeed, those people had not entered the Netherworld Cave.

n

n

nIt did not affect him much.

n

n

nAs for why they came.

n

n

nHe roughly understood.

n

n

nIt was to temper their spiritual consciousness. They were all experts in Body Tempering.

n

n

nThose two were cultivating related cultivation techniques, while Ao Longyu was a dragon. Her body was strong to begin with.

n

n

nThey obtained some things from the Peaceful Void Lake and had sufficient conditions to use the Netherworld aura to temper their Essence Soul.

n

n

nThe limit of their tempering was around the entrance of the cave.

n

n

nAs for how long it would take to temper their spiritual consciousness, Jiang Lan had no idea.

n

n

nBut it didn’t matter since it didn’t affect him.

n

n

nAfter erecting a wooden tablet at the entrance of the cave, Jiang Lan took out the Creation Pill. Today, he was going to advance his Essence Soul.

n

n

nAfter the Essence Soul, his strength would not longer be considered weak. He could find a new place to sign in.

n

n

nOf course, it was impossible to leave Kunlun Mountain. It was too dangerous outside, and his Master would definitely not allow it.

n

n

nSpeaking of which, he was already at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm. His Master would most likely let him go to the Third Summit’s mystic realm again.

n

n

nWhenever he perfected a realm, his Master would always think of ways to help him break through.

n

n

nTherefore, it was safer to advance earlier.

n

n

nWho knows what would happen if he bumped into the person behind the scenes again?

n

n

nWith this thought in mind, Jiang Lan swallowed the Creation Pill.

n

n

nAfter the Creation Pill entered his mouth, Jiang Lan felt as if he had entered a mysterious door.

n

n

nEverything beyond the door could answer his current doubts and remove all obstacles for him.

n

n

nAt this moment, Jiang Lan’s cultivation began to circulate madly.

n

n

nAll of his spiritual consciousness condensed into everything, as if it had undergone a completely new transformation. It was as if a plate of loose sand had started to solidify into the shape of a human.

n

n

nBoom!

n

n

nAfter his spiritual consciousness turned into a human form, Jiang Lan’s mind began to expand.

n

n

nIt was as if his limited spiritual world was expanding infinitely.

n

n

nThe blurry areas began to become clear. His originally calm mind suddenly became indestructible.

n

n

nThis was the Essence Soul.

n

n

nAlthough there was no physical change in his strength, his spiritual consciousness had surpassed what it was before.

n

n

nEven if he was invaded by inner demons, there would be enough buffer time.

n

n

nIt was as if he had become resilient.

n

n

nEven if his body was destroyed, his Essence Soul would not be destroyed immediately.

n

n

nIf he protected his Essence Soul, he would have a chance to return.

n

n

nThis situation continued for a long time. Jiang Lan could feel that he had become much stronger.

n

n

nThe power of five bulls was directly upgraded to the power of six bulls.

n

n

nIt could even continue to rise.

n

n

nThe Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel had also begun to undergo a completely new transformation.

n

n

nThis was the Essence Soul.

n

n

nIf the Golden Core realm represented a child turning into a youth, then the Essence Soul realm represented a youth becoming an adult.

n

n

nAbove that was the Void Refinement realm.

n

n

nHe tempered his Essence Soul, connected to the void, and found the door to Immortal Ascension.

n

n

nHe had to transcend the tribulations to become an immortal.

n

n

nOf course, what Jiang Lan needed to do now was to continue cultivating, reach Major Perfection in his Essence Soul, and then step into the Void Refinement stage.

n

n

nEven though he was one step closer to the immortal path, the further he went, the harder it became.

n

n

nAs for the Creation Pill, although Jiang Lan felt that it was a pity, he didn’t regret it.

n

n

nHow strong he was now was the real strength he possessed.

n

n

nAs a dragon, Ao Longyu’s cultivation speed was extremely fast. If he was targeted, he would be in danger.

n

n

nIf the person he fought with before suspected him and targeted him, then it would be too late to eat the Creation Pill.

n

n

nAfter that, Jiang Lan didn’t think too much about it. What he needed to do now was to continue cultivating and break through to the Void Refinement stage.

n

n

nHowever, he wanted find a new location to sign in.

n

n

n“Let’s go to that old wine tavern. I can bring Master a pot of good wine as well.”

n

n

n“Thirty years have passed. I wonder if that inn is still there.”
