nJiang Lan looked at this path. He discovered that there was still fog in the surroundings. Only his path didn’t have fog ahead.

nHowever, the edge of his path was filled with fog.

nHe could not see what was happening outside.

nHis senses could not penetrate the fog either.

n“Is this the Jade Pool’s ability?”

nJiang Lan was curious.

nHowever, he still walked forward.

nHe was already standing on the path and the stone beneath his feet was nowhere to be seen.

nJiang Lan walked forward step by step. He could feel that the fog was not an absolute barrier.

nIt seemed like there was a certain possibility that he could run onto someone else’s path.

nOf course, Jiang Lan didn’t plan on doing this, nor did he want to have any unnecessary interactions with others.

nJiang Lan, who was walking forward, suddenly felt a restriction under her feet.

nIt was an array formation.

nIt wasn’t hard to break open.

nOr rather, it was very easy.

nJust as Jiang Lan intended to remove the array formation’s restrictions.

nAn attack suddenly appeared from within the fog.

nIt went straight through towards him.

nJiang Lan was startled and immediately punched out.

nHowever, just as the attack was about to reach him, he realized that it was not a man-made attack, but an attack by the fog.

nBoom!!

nWith a punch, the attack from the fog shattered.

nHe had used the power of a Golden Core to counter the attack.

nHowever, after shattering the attack, he took out a spirit sword.

nThe spirit swords used by personal disciples were much better than most normal spirit swords.

nAlthough he did have much better spirit swords.

nThey were all received through signing in.

nHe couldn’t take them out.

nHe didn’t really calculate how many he had gotten. After all, sword techniques weren’t as strong as his Power of Nine Bulls.

nThen, Jiang Lan broke through the restrictions.

nHe roughly understood.

nThe path was restricted by array formations and there were all kinds of attacks that could come from within the fog.

nThe further he went down, the higher the probability of him being imprisoned or attacked.

n“I feel like I might not be able to enter the Jade Pool.”

nAlthough he had some understanding of array formations, his strength was lacking.

nHe couldn’t use his Essence Soul Realm strength here.

nIt was hard to say if he would be discovered.

nThere was no need to take risks.

n“I’m not very good at both array formation formations and cultivation.”

nAi!

nHe let out a soft sigh.

nJiang Lan then stepped forward.

nHe had decided that he would just do his best.

nIf he couldn’t make it, he could still wait for the next time.

nThat was unless someone managed to enter the Jade Pool this time.

nOf course, if possible, he would still try his best to enter.

nAfter all, he had to depend on his luck if he failed to enter this time.

nWhat if someone had entered this time?

nIn that case, he would not have the chance to enter the Jade Pool.

nAt least not for the next thousand years.

nWithout thinking too much, Jiang Lan continued forward.

nHe maintained his vigilance as he dispelled the formations on the way to avoid the surrounding attacks.

nHowever, he realized that dodging was useless.

nEven if he managed to dodge the attack, it would still continue.

nHe could only counter it or move on.

nHowever, if he chose to move on, the confinement array would still remain, causing him to be trapped.

nThis…

nIt was too difficult to be alone.

nAfter a long time, Jiang Lan felt that the sky had already darkened.

nAt this rate, he wouldn’t be able to get far by tomorrow morning.

nThe duration of the opening of the Jade Pool was not stated clearly either.

nIt was most likely the case that this selection would end the moment one person managed to enter the Jade Pool.

n“Do I need to work with someone else?”

nBut he was so weak…

nAs long as someone learned that he was from the Ninth Summit, they would choose not to cooperate with him.

nThere was no other way.

nThe disciples of the Ninth Summit had always been criticized.

nNo one from the Ninth Summit was talented enough to be a representative of the summit in Kunlun.

nAfter all, it was just him from the Ninth Summit.

n“This might be the only chance to enter the Jade Pool. Let’s give it a try.”

nJiang Lan placed his hand on the fog beside the road.

nAt this moment, his path seemed to have become accessible.

nThen, he felt someone walking into his path.

nNot long after, a strand of long hair fell, and a woman in a blue and white immortal dress landed behind Jiang Lan.

nJiang Lan was surprised to see this person.

nAo Longyu.

nHe had never imagined that Ao Longyu would come.

nAo Longyu was also a little surprised.

nShe didn’t like traveling with others, so she walked forward alone.

nAfter all, the person she would partner with would be allocated randomly.

nIf it was Junior Sister Siya, she would not refuse.

nHowever, it was very difficult for her to get Junior Sister Siya as her teammate through a random selection.

nHence she thought that there was no need to waste her time and chose to proceed alone.

nBut after walking for a long time, she realized that it was very difficult for an individual person to walk far.

nIn order to enter the Jade Pool, she could only try to find someone to cooperate with her.

nHowever, she did not expect that she would arrive on the path of her Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit.

n“The strong would always be partnered with someone weaker.” Seeing the other party’s confusion, Ao Longyu explained.

nThis was the rule.

nAnd there was only one chance.

nOne could refuse after seeing the potential teammate.

nHowever, one could only continue walking forward alone after that.

nJiang Lan didn’t know about these rules, but he also felt that it was difficult to take advantage of them.

nHowever, he was not familiar with Ao Longyu.

nBefore he could speak, Ao Longyu’s calm and emotionless voice could be heard.

n“Junior Brother wants to enter the Jade Pool?”

n“I want to try,” Jiang Lan replied.

nHe did want to try.

n“I’m from the Dragon race and have pretty good strength. I can block the attacks around me.

nJunior Brother, are you good with array formations? ” Ao Longyu asked calmly.

nShe could indeed work with Jiang Lan.

nThis was because Jiang Lan had some accomplishments in the study of array formations.

nAt least, he was better than her.

nJiang Lan pondered for a moment. With Ao Longyu’s strength, he could indeed make his progress much faster.

nBut his attainments in array formations were not that strong.

nHe knew his limits.

nHe did not intend to force himself.

n“Only a little bit.” Jiang Lan spoke.

nAo Longyu remained silent for a moment.

nShe looked down at the ground as though she was thinking about her gains and losses.

nAfter a moment, she looked at Jiang Lan and asked.

n“Junior Brother, are you willing to cooperate with me?”

n
