n“He can’t take another step. Seems like he’s overestimated himself.”

n

n

n“What’s the point? It’s already very impressive to be able to get two. He is really asking for trouble for staying at the Ninth Summit despite being so unsteady.”

n

n

n“Just wait and see. This disciple who’s only at the second-stage of the Qi Refinement realm is asking for trouble.”

n

n

nAt this time, Jiang Lan was sensing the three Dharma treasures. After he perceiving them, countless storms were swept into his mind.

n

n

nMany thoughts were growing continuously in his heart.

n

n

nPride, anger, greed, lust. All these thoughts kept appearing.

n

n

nThe most obvious was arrogance.

n

n

nYes. Because of the system, he could be said to have surpassed everyone.

n

n

nThere was nothing wrong with being arrogant. But being overly arrogant was equivalent to being conceited.

n

n

nArrogance must have one’s own foundation and self-awareness.

n

n

nWhat Jiang Lan needed to do was to see through himself.

n

n

nHowever, in this temperament test, it was still a bit difficult for Jiang Lan. The moment he had any deviating thoughts, it would bring about all kinds of storms.

n

n

nIt seemed that his temperament was still very ordinary.

n

n

nAfter Jiang Lan’s thoughts were swept up in the storm, the foot that should have landed was still unable to land.

n

n

nThe middle-aged man who was in charge of the arrangements felt that something was amiss with Jiang Lan.

n

n

nAt that moment, he finally realized what was wrong.

n

n

nHe waved his hand, and a surge of energy passed through the three Dharma treasures.

n

n

nEveryone witnessed a beam of light connecting the three Dharma treasures to Jiang Lan.

n

n

nIt was as if they had become Jiang Lan’s stumbling block before he could land his foot.

n

n

n“How… how can this be?” The middle-aged man was in disbelief.

n

n

n“He actually wants to obtain all three treasures at the same time?” The disciples of the other summits also realized that something was amiss.

n

n

n“No way. Three? Is he crazy? He isn’t taking them one by one. Is he trying to kill himself?”

n

n

n“He sure is confident in himself. However, if he’s careless, he might get himself into trouble. Even if he succeeds, there won’t be any benefits for him.”

n

n

n“Just the stubbornness of the weak.”

n

n

nYes, because the Ninth Summit was too weak, or rather, this disciple was too weak. After being criticized by others, he started showing off.

n

n

nIf it was someone strong, they only needed to show their cultivation.

n

n

nNo one dared to say another word.

n

n

n“If he really succeeds, doesn’t that mean he has an exceptional temperament?”

n

n

n“Succeeds? How is that possible?”

n

n

n“No, look! He’s going to put his foot down.”

n

n

nEveryone looked over at that moment.

n

n

nIt was only now that they realized that Jiang Lan’s foot was slowly descending, and the light around the Dharma treasures was blossoming incessantly.

n

n

nEveryone could tell that this was a sign of success.

n

n

nThe middle-aged man in charge looked at Jiang Lan, finding this unbelievable.

n

n

n“I can’t believe he’s going to succeed. This—”

n

n

nThe other disciples were also watching. Most of them did not believe it. How could a newcomer at the second level of Qi Refinement have such a level of temperament?

n

n

nHowever, the sound of a footstep heavily struck their doubts.

n

n

nDa!

n

n

nJiang Lan’s foot had landed on the ground. A golden light bloomed from the Dharma treasures, followed by three Dharma treasures landing neatly in front of Jiang Lan.

n

n

nRegardless of whether others believed it or not, the truth was right before their eyes.

n

n

n“What a pity. He has such a strong temperament but such an ordinary innate talent.” The middle-aged man who was in charge sighed.

n

n

n“Perhaps this is how he managed to remain on the Ninth Summit.”

n

n

nIf he had a high innate talent and such a unique temperament, he would have long been taken away by the other summit masters.

n

n

nJiang Lan had obtained five Dharma treasures. A spirit sword, a pair of boots, a small box, a set of flexible armor, and a small red gourd.

n

n

nHe didn’t try to get to know them better. Instead, he left immediately.

n

n

nHe just needed to go back and show them to his master.

n

n

nHis master would naturally tell him what they were.

n

n

nJiang Lan left, ignoring the disciples around him.

n

n

nActually, those people could have left after obtaining the treasures. They only stayed to watch the show.

n

n

nThose people were momentarily speechless as they watched Jiang Lan leave.

n

n

nAfter a long time, someone said,

n

n

n“In the vast wilderness, if one cannot become an immortal, what can a great temperament do?”

n

n

nSoon, everyone felt relieved.

n

n

nIndeed.

n

n

nSome people just lacked talent.

n

n

nHard work could determine a person’s bottom line, but innate talent determined a person’s upper limit.

n

n

nSometimes, some distance could not be surpassed by hard work.

n

n

nIt was even more so in this desolate world.

n

n

nImmortals and mortals were the greatest difference. If one did not become an immortal, they would be mortal.

n

n

nSo what if he had a good temperament?

n

n

nIt was just that he would appear be calmer when facing an insurmountable distance.

n

n

n…

n

n

nRather than arguing with those people, it was better for Jiang Lan to go back and cultivate. After all, they would no longer be on the same level for long.

n

n

nHe headed down the mountain.

n

n

n“It’s getting dark. I’ll meet Master before going to the Netherworld Cave to cultivate.”

n

n

nJiang Lan stared at the darkening sky and muttered to himself.

n

n

nAlthough he had signed in with the system, it would be a waste if he didn’t work hard.

n

n

nA long time later, Jiang Lan arrived at the foot of the mountain and walked into the forest.

n

n

nBoom!

n

n

nAll of a sudden, there was the sound of a powerful impact from a distance.

n

n

n“Shameless. Kunlun will never let you off.” It was a female voice.

n

n

nIt sounded very nice.

n

n

nJiang Lan had heard it, but he only took a glance before turning around to leave.

n

n

n“A very powerful attack. Her cultivation is not inferior to mine.”

n

n

nJiang Lan had no intention of participating in such a battle.

n

n

nHe looked like a cultivator who was only at the second-stage Qi Refinement realm.

n

n

nHe’ll mention it to Master when he returned.

n

n

nWith this thought in mind, Jiang Lan decided to take a detour and leave.

n

n

nThe location of the battle was coincidentally the shortcut he used.

n

n

nThe sky was getting dark. Jiang Lan had taken a long detour and believed that he should be very far away from those people.

n

n

nHe was about to reach the Ninth Summit.

n

n

nBoom!

n

n

nJiang Lan, who was walking, suddenly heard the sound of an explosion again.

n

n

nA figure flew over from afar.

n

n

nThere was a loud bang.

n

n

nThe figure crashed into a tree trunk.

n

n

nIt looked like a woman.

n

n

n“You traitors,” came the woman’s deep voice.

n

n

nJiang Lan found the voice familiar. It sounded like the voice of the woman from earlier.

n

n

nThey had fought all the way here?

n

n

nJiang Lan was actually very curious. Were these people not afraid of being discovered by others if they fought like this?

n

n

nHowever, Mount Kunlun was indeed very big. Very few people knew about the small skirmishes.

n

n

nHowever, it seemed like he had been discovered.

n
