nFor a month, Gu Qi did not fall into the lake halfway.

nHis battle intent soared.

nHe caused ripples as he walked step by step on the lake’s surface. However, he stood on the lake’s surface and did not fall into the lake at all.

nBut at the beginning, he was calm and relaxed.

nSlowly, it became more strenuous.

nEvery time he stopped to rest, it wouldn’t be long before he saw the junior brother following behind him.

nIn the beginning, the other party didn’t arrive so quickly. He had been anticipating his arrival.

nSoon, the other party became faster and faster. Sometimes, he felt like the other party was right behind him.

nPressure.

nHe felt an unprecedented pressure.

nThis pressure aroused the fighting spirit in his heart.

nHis heart was very pure. He just wanted to win against that junior brother.

nThe other party had already become his opponent.

nAn opponent that was worth fighting with his all.

nHe did not dare to underestimate him at all.

nThe other party was a powerful enemy who could walk alongside him.

nHe was an opponent worthy of his respect.

nHe had broken through his limits with every step he took. A month had passed, and he believed that he could finally be far ahead of this junior brother.

nBut he was wrong.

nWhen he stopped, he realized that not only was this junior brother not shaken off by him, but he had also appeared beside him.

nHe…

nHe had caught up.

nThe other party nodded at him.

nHe nodded in return.

nThis was out of respect.

nHowever, the other party took another step forward.

nHe…

nHe was taking the lead.

nThe junior brother was walking very slowly. He could clearly feel that the other party’s speed had not changed since the beginning.

nAt this moment, he finally understood one thing.

nIt wasn’t that the other party had become faster.

nBut he…

nHe was slowing down.

nGu Qi was in disbelief.

nAs he looked at Jiang Lan’s departing figure, a new fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.

nHe had lost, but he wanted to regain his victory.

nGu Qi took another step forward.

nJiang Lan walked in front. He didn’t look at his senior brother.

nHe realized that this senior brother’s fighting spirit was very strong. However, he couldn’t make a move here either.

nBattle intent was also a form of mental state for that senior brother.

nIf he destroyed it recklessly, he would only fall into the lake.

nDuring this month, Jiang Lan had been walking and stopping, but still maintaining his initial speed.

nHe was neither in a hurry nor slacking off.

nHe could already see his reflection, but his facial features were hard to see.

nHowever, he could also feel that there was more light shining on his Essence Soul, as if it was illuminating the flaws of it.

nThis lake was very difficult to walk through, but there were indeed many benefits.

nIt would be of sufficient help to his Essence Soul.

nHowever, after walking for a month, he did not know how big the lake was.

nOr they could be walking in circles.

nWithout thinking too much, Jiang Lan continued walking forward. He didn’t look back nor did he make any unnecessary movements.

nBehind him, Gu Qi was chasing after Jiang Lan.

nJiang Lan had now become his target.

n…

nOutside the Peaceful Void Lake, some disciples were still meditating.

nAt this moment, someone suddenly said,

n“It’s been a month.”

n“What’s been a month?” Someone asked in confusion.

n“That senior brother from the First Summit has been in there for a month? I’ve already heard about this.”

n“No, it’s that disciple from the Ninth Summit. He’s been in there for a month. I’ve been waiting here for a month.

nHe hasn’t come out yet.

nI remember that this is his first time entering the Peaceful Void Lake.”

n“A disciple of the Ninth Summit? Who is it?”

n“He hasn’t left? I thought he would have long ago.”

n“I want to stay here. I want to see when he will come out.”

nThe Ancient Wine Daoist was also astonished.

nIt had been a month. He had actually been inside for a month.

nNot only that, but he had also surpassed Gu Qi.

nHis condition had never undergone any special changes.

n“There are no ripples in his heart. He is as flexible and tolerant as water.

nIncredible. Mo Zhengdong’s disciple is truly impressive.”

nThe Ancient Wine Daoist drank his wine. He wanted to see how far Mo Zhengdong’s disciple could go.

n…

nJiang Lan looked at the lake and continued to walk forward.

nHe had a feeling that every step he took now was taking him into the abyss.

nIf he couldn’t understand his heart and understand his intentions, he would not be able to continue walking here.

nJiang Lan understood his heart and his intentions.

nThere was not much he wanted to do. He wanted to stay on the Ninth Summit and sign in for his cultivation.

nUntil the day he became invincible.

nIf he could be invincible as an immortal, he would become an immortal.

nHowever, immortals were not invincible.

nSo…

nHe wanted to become a saint.

nJiang Lan walked forward one step at a time, slowly seeing himself clearly. The light of his Essence Soul increased bit by bit.

nHe could feel that the further he went, the faster his cultivation would progress.

nJiang Lan, who had been walking for a month, had no idea how long he had been on the Peaceful Void Lake.

nThis time, he walked longer.

nTwo months passed again.

nHe saw himself, but his eyes lacked his spirit.

n“I should be able to see it after this final step.

nBut…”

nJiang Lan looked around him. He didn’t see anyone around.

nHe also knew that he was almost at his limit.

nThis final step had a chance of him falling to the bottom of the lake.

nJiang Lan knew that his mental state was good, but there was still an end point.

nUnder normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have taken the last step.

nBut he wanted to take this last step.

nIf he didn’t take this step, he would regret it.

nPerhaps he was still full of youthful vigor.

nThis time, he did not restrain himself.

nHe took a step forward.

nIn an instant, Jiang Lan felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.
