Chapter 83: Challenging Kunlun’s Nine Summits

Some days journey away from Kunlun, there was a large ship flying.

Inside the cabin sat a white-haired old man and two middle-aged men.

The three of them emitted immortal powers.

“The Witchcloud Gathering has begun. Those from Kunlun should have been gone for some time.”

Li Zhi spoke from the side. He was one of the two middle-aged men.

He had black eyes, black hair and some whiskers.

“It’s said that a goddess has appeared in the Jade Pool of Kunlun. There should be a chance to check the exact situation,” Nan Yi said.

He was the other middle-aged man.

Unlike the others, his eyes were closed.

It was as if opening his eyes was a very difficult task for him.

Or rather, his eyes carried a sense of danger.“Our Heavenly Human Race has an agreement with Kunlun. Youths from our race can seek guidance from the youths in Kunlun, but we might not be able to directly have an exchange with the Jade Pool Goddess,” the elderly man Miao Tian said.

This old man had a head full of white hair and his cultivation was the highest among the three.

“Indeed, that’s why we should challenge them step by step and ask for an exchange with the Jade Pool Goddess.” Nan Yi said with a smile.

“Any outstanding disciple within three hundred years will do. We shall challenge from the First Summit to the Ninth Summit. If we lose, we will naturally return home. ”

The old man looked at a young man in white who was outside the door and said.

“Do you have the confidence?”

“I am able to do it even if we had come a few months ago when all the geniuses are still present in Kunlun,” Miao Xiu replied.

…

On the Ninth Summit of Kunlun, Jiang Lan was reading a book.

He had been familiarizing himself with his spells for a month, and his Power of Nine Bulls had reached the power of eight bulls.

The last bit would require a lot of time to polish before he could perfect the spell.

He had also familiarized his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel with his current cultivation base.However, it would take some time before he could reach the ninth step.

In fact, Jiang Lan was a little confused during this period of time. The Power of Nine Bulls had a superior spell, the Power of Nine Tribulations. He wondered if the Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel had a superior spell too.

Even if it did, it would be difficult for him to receive it now.

After all, it took him ten years to obtain the superior spell technique of the Power of Nine Bulls.

Furthermore, he was unable to cultivate it.

It was a slight waste of his ten years of accumulation.

Currently, he was only familiar with these two main spells.

He had yet to familiarize himself with many other spells which included the Seven Stars Sword Technique, Ninth Heaven’s Flowing Fire, Heavenly Thunder Descent, Spirit Language Spell, and so on.

He had learned a lot over the years.

However, they were all supplementary.

He naturally had some understanding of array formations.

He had read quite a few books, but it was impossible for him to finish them.After all, he spent most of his time cultivating.

As Jiang Lan was cleaning up the Ninth Summit’s main hall, he suddenly heard laughter coming from the sky.

“Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Feng, long time no see.”

Jiang Lan was surprised.

He looked up into the sky and saw a ship flying towards Kunlun.

The voice came from above.

At this moment, someone flew out from Kunlun.

“I feel like something’s going to happen.”

Jiang Lan silently muttered to himself as he watched all of this.

It had been a month since the Witchcloud Gathering started.

For someone to arrive at this time. No matter how one looked at it, it didn’t seem like they were here to have fun.

One had to know that the Witchcloud Gathering meant that a large number of geniuses from Kunlun had left.“Another mistake.”

Jiang Lan sighed inwardly.

Many Kunlun geniuses would indeed attend the Witchcloud Gathering.

It was indeed possible that something wrong could happen there.

But at this time, Kunlun was also much weaker than before.

Naturally, there would be people who would come looking for trouble.

“I hope this matter has nothing to do with outstanding disciples.”

He was the most outstanding disciple of the Ninth Summit.

There were some things that he would definitely reject, but there were some things that he could not reject.

This was the responsibility of being the most outstanding disciple of the Ninth Summit.

Jiang Lan lowered his head and looked at the half-cleaned hall before continuing to clean it up.

After cleaning up, he returned to the Netherworld Cave.He wanted to increase his cultivation and ensure that everything would go smoothly.

He also needed to be better prepared and made sure he had his Dharma treasures and runes ready.

“I’ll cultivate first and adjust my state to its peak.”

Jiang Lan opened the Goddess Diagram and decided to cultivate.

However, when Jiang Lan opened the booklet this time, he found Ao Longyu lying by the lake, seemingly listless.

“Is she sick?”

It was unlikely.

How could a dragon be sick?

He soon remembered.

“It’s because her cultivation is rising too quickly.”

Ao Longyu stayed at the Jade Pool for a long time, so her cultivation speed was not much slower than his.

Therefore, she, who had high cultivation talent to begin with, almost became one of the dragons with the fastest cultivation speed.

And the young man at the inn had said that dragons would weaken if they cultivated too quickly.

Jiang Lan shook his head and didn’t mind.

Instead, he began cultivating.

…

Three days later, Jiang Lan received a message.

This message was from his master.

He knew that this was coming.

Although he wasn’t sure what it was, he couldn’t avoid it.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Lan headed straight to the peak of the Ninth Summit.

Mo Zhengdong was indeed waiting for him here.

“Master.”

Jiang Lan spoke respectfully.

The weather today was very good today. There was a gentle breeze that gave him a refreshing feeling.

Jiang Lan loved this kind of weather.

But now, he needed to listen to his master carefully.

“A few days ago, some people from the Central Plains Heavenly Human Race came and made a request. They want to challenge the Jade Pool Goddess.” Mo Zhengdong’s voice slowly sounded.

Jiang Lan didn’t interrupt and continued listening.

This was because he knew the explanation had yet to end.

“The Jade Pool Goddess of Kunlun is naturally not someone they can challenge as they wish. Therefore, they proposed a qualification competition. They would challenge the nine most outstanding disciples of the Kunlun nine summits. If they won all nine, they would be able to challenge the Jade Pool Goddess. If they lost, they would leave.”

“The challenge was agreed by the Sect Master many years ago. The Sect Master is in seclusion currently and it’s not easy for the nine summit leaders to reject this proposal.”
