Chapter 47: Fight to Compete
The ninth location of the Peaceful Void Lake required not only one’s state of mind, but also the strength of one’s realm.
In theory, one could not enter the ninth location unless they had reached the Golden Core realm.
Even if one could enter, it would take quite some time for the Ancient Wine Daoist to execute it.
Many people had brought wine to the Ancient Wine Daoist.
He just didn’t want to go through the process again.
Because it was a waste of time.
There were some people who could not enter the Peaceful Void Lake.
They could only ask the Ancient Wine Daoist to send them in.
After entering, it would more or less help a little.
It was late at night.
Some disciples were waiting by the pond outside the Peaceful Void Lake.
They wanted to see when the disciple of the Ninth Summit would come out.
Two hours had passed, but the other party still hadn’t come out.
“Looks like the junior brother of the Ninth Summit did not fall into the bottom of the lake instantly.”
Under normal circumstances, he would have already fallen into the lake once by now.
“However, when he reaches his limit, he will still be sent out.”
“Since it’s the first time he is entering, his performance will more or less be unstable. If he stabilizes his mind, he can probably stay for half a day.
He should then be able to stay for quite some time after that.”
“I heard that those with better innate potential can only stay for three days at most. Only true geniuses can stay for seven days. I heard that the senior brother from the First Summit can stay up to a month at most.
It seems like no one in the past 200 years can compare to the senior brother from the First Summit.”
“I wonder if the junior brother from the Ninth Summit will encounter the senior brother from the First Summit. If he does, he’ll realize that his luck isn’t too good, right?”
“We’ll see. He might come out in a sorry state tomorrow morning.”
…
Jiang Lan was walking on the lake. He walked very slowly, and sometimes, he would stop.
However, no matter how Jiang Lan walked, his head remained lowered, always looking at the lake.
He realized that his reflection in the lake had an outline.
However, the more he wanted to see clearly, the deeper he would sink.
It was easy for other thoughts to appear as he was constantly attacked by his seven emotions and six desires.
Pride, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, envy, and lust.
Jiang Lan could clearly feel these emotions growing. He felt as if he was about to be drowned out and controlled by them.
All he could do was block them one by one.
When resisting, he would walk his own path.
However, when he walked, he would reflect on himself and find out if he had been imperceptibly controlled.
However, even he could not maintain this state forever.
Sometimes he would feel his heart begin to race. Once he realized it, he would immediately stop in his tracks to calm his heart down.
“This lake is indeed extraordinary.”
Jiang Lan muttered to himself.
He could even sense his own flaws.
Of course, some flaws could not be fixed just like that.
So he could only just watch.
Currently, it was not much help to his cultivation. Instead, it was beneficial for his temperament.
Relatively speaking, it would be easier for him to stay in the Netherworld Cave in the future.
Even though he could already stay safely in there, the danger was still there. He was still constantly vigilant..
Jiang Lan stopped this time and looked around.
He realized that that senior brother was not far away.
He seemed to be resting as well.
Not long after, the other party turned around.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan immediately nodded.
It was a form of courtesy.
The other party nodded as well.
After that, Jiang Lan saw the senior brother continue walking forward.
He was full of fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan knew that the other party was different from him.
Everyone’s approach was completely different.
This senior brother was motivated by fighting.
Jiang Lan felt inferior to him in this.
“There are indeed countless geniuses on Kunlun Mountain.”
Be it this person or those people in the mystic realm back then.
Everyone had their own thoughts, their own ways, and their own paths.
Everyone was working hard.
Jiang Lan felt that he needed to work harder.
Watching Gu Qi leave, Jiang Lan didn’t move.
It was not time for him to move yet.
Gu Qi walked in front, his face full of fighting spirit.
“Indeed, he’s worthy of me treating him as an opponent. It’s been such a long time, but he’s still able to keep up with me.”
“Then, he shall become my enemy.”
“The stronger you are, the happier I will be. I will definitely be stronger than you.”
“Junior Brother, although I don’t know which peak you’re from, we’re enemies now.”
“You will be the stairway to my improvement.”
“I look forward to an even better performance from you. I look forward to the possibility of you surpassing me.”
“Let’s be evenly matched so that we can walk side by side and compete to be the strongest.”
“This is what I want.”
“I hope you can surprise me further.”
With a fighting spirit, Gu Qi walked forward step by step, each step more stable than the last.
He realized that only peers could make him stronger.
No one in the same generation or the same cultivation realm could compare to him in the Peaceful Void Lake.
Now, there was some development.
He looked forward to it.
…
The next morning.
The light at the entrance to the Netherworld Cave began to dissipate. The three people in the array formation sat there as their spiritual consciousness condensed around their bodies, as if they had entered a completely new realm.
Jing Ting and Mu Xiu had managed to make it in time for the final opportunity.
They had obtained many benefits.
When the light completely disappeared, the spiritual consciousness condensed outside of their bodies also slowly returned to their bodies.
At this moment, they were one step closer to the Essence Soul realm.
Jing Ting opened his eyes.
He could feel his improvement.
It was more obvious than their entire month here.
Unfortunately, the Radiance of The Deity State only happened once.
They did not dare to hope for a second time.
Ao Longyu also opened her eyes at this moment. She was the one who had improved the most.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
She had made the right bet.
“Senior Sister Ao.”
Jing Ting and Mu Xiu looked at Ao Longyu.
They wanted to understand the situation immediately.
