Chapter 33: One Step Closer to Immortality

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

When 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.

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

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

They did not interfere with each other.

Was this his temperament?

What level of mental fortitude was needed to achieve this?

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

Whether 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.

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

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

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

“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.

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

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

Jing Ting and the others didn’t believe it.

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

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

For example, cultivating the Netherworld cultivation techniques.

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

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

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

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

In 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.

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

It was still that well.

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

Ao 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.

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

This junior brother really lives here?

Wasn’t this too terrifying?

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

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

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

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

Two days passed in a flash.

Jiang Lan was still sitting in the Netherworld Cave.

Indeed, those people had not entered the Netherworld Cave.

It did not affect him much.

As for why they came.

He roughly understood.

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

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

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

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

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

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

After 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.

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

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

Speaking 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.

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

Therefore, it was safer to advance earlier.

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

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

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

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

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

All 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.

Boom!

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

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

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

This was the Essence Soul.

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

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

It was as if he had become resilient.

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

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

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

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

It could even continue to rise.

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

This was the Essence Soul.

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

Above that was the Void Refinement realm.

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

He had to transcend the tribulations to become an immortal.

Of 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.

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

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

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

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

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

After 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.

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

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

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