Chapter 76: Peering Into The Void

It was true that Jiang Lan did not find Ao Longyu at first glance.

However, he felt that something was wrong with the lake.

He felt ripples on the water surface.

She was most likely in the water.

“So the diagram is actually not fixed?”

Jiang Lan was surprised.

However, Ao Longyu was a Dragon Race cultivator, so it wasn’t too bad that she didn’t appear in human form.

After that, Jiang Lan didn’t pay much attention to it. He could feel that the Goddess Diagram could assist him in his cultivation.

It was even more convenient than the bead.

The essence was also easier for him to absorb.

Jiang Lan opened the diagram mentally and felt as if he had entered the Jade Pool himself.

The essence of all things began to be absorbed by Jiang Lan.

His cultivation speed kept increasing.

With the help of the Goddess Diagram, Jiang Lan cultivated for another twenty years.

This year, Jiang Lan opened his eyes.

This year was the hundredth year since he had entered the Ninth Summit.

He had successfully entered the perfected Essence Soul Realm from an ordinary person.

He was only a single step away from reaching the Void Refinement Realm.

On the surface, his cultivation was still at the late-stage Golden Core Realm.

He had flipped open the Goddess Diagram many times throughout this entire duration, and it would change every few days.

Sometimes Ao Longyu would be in the water, sometimes she would be floating on the surface of the water, and sometimes she would be lying by the lake.

Jiang Lan felt like he was raising a fish.

Just that he did not need to feed it.

However, he didn’t pay much attention to it after taking a look at it a few times.

“I have already reached the stage of perfection for my current cultivation realm. I wonder what will happen after drinking it.”

Jiang Lan looked at the wine in his hand.

If he could use some other method, he really didn’t want to enter the Void Refinement Realm by getting drunk.

This was because he might not be able to control his actions after he had become drunk.

Even though his heart was calm, after getting drunk, his actions and logic would inevitably deviate from his normal self.

What if he said something that he would not normally say?

What if he did things that he would not normally do?

It would not be a big deal if only something minor happened.

He was afraid that too many of his secrets would be discovered.

Jiang Lan looked at the wine.

Finally, he opened the lid.

He downed it in one gulp.

If he wanted to achieve immortality as soon as possible, he had to endure some risks.

And as long as he wasn’t too drunk, there wouldn’t be any big problems.

At most, his master would think that he was stupid.

He was just afraid that he was unable to remember what had happened when he was drunk after he sobered up.

After drinking the Bejeweled Nectar Wine, Jiang Lan activated the One Leaf Vision.

This was to prevent him from being seen through.

Jiang Lan closed his eyes and began to feel the changes in his body and spirit.

It was said that one mouth of Bejeweled Nectar Wine causes one to have a dream that lasts ten years, while consuming a bottle causes one to forget a hundred years of memory.

He did not dare to underestimate it.

Soon, Jiang Lan felt that he had fallen asleep, yet awake at the same time.

But more so, he felt at peace.

The world seemed to have quietened down.

His heart became at ease and joy filled his heart.

It was a strange feeling.

Then, he opened his eyes.

At this moment, he felt that he shouldn’t be sitting here cultivating.

Instead, he should go out for a walk, water the plants, remove the weeds, look at the sky, and farm the land.

As if that was the only way to know how to move forward.

Jiang Lan no longer hesitated.

He brought the vegetative egg and left the Netherworld Cave. He left the residence that he had cultivated for nearly a hundred years and returned to the house outside.

The house that had been uninhabited for a long time was rather dilapidated. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Lan would renovate it once every twenty years.

It was a little early now, but it was still suitable for repair.

Jiang Lan put down the vegetative egg, as well as the idea of cultivation that he hadn’t relaxed on in all these years.

He began to repair the house in the courtyard, removing the surrounding grass.

He also planted some flowers inside and outside the courtyard.

He was busy for seven days before he finished everything.

He stood in the courtyard and looked around.

However, the flowers had yet to bloom and the grass had yet to sprout. It looked desolate.

However, Jiang Lan knew that it wouldn’t be long before this place changed.

A gentle breeze blew past.

It blew the corner of Jiang Lan’s clothes.

He did not cultivate. Instead, he busied himself in the Ninth Summit like an ordinary person.

He had things to do every day.

This was because the Ninth Summit was huge.

However, Jiang Lan didn’t use any Dharmic powers. He just did it himself personally and manually.

Removing the grass, repairing the road, and cleaning the river.

He planted flowers, raised fish, and chopped firewood.

Spring passed and autumn came. Flowers bloomed and fell.

Ten years passed in a flash.

This winter, the world started to snow.

Jiang Lan stood in the courtyard and watered the vegetative egg with spirit liquid.

He looked at the withered flowers and the old house.

After which, he looked at the white expanse of snow.

Then, he put down the spirit liquid bottle, picked up the broom, and began sweeping the snow.

Winter passed and spring arrived.

Jiang Lan felt the wind blowing against him.

The grass had begun to sprout.

As they broke out of the ground, they seemed to be spying on this new world.

It was as if they wanted to see this resplendent world and experience this magnificent world.

Jiang Lan closed his eyes and listened to everything.

A moment later, he opened his eyes again.

His eyes were calm and clear.

However, there was a flash of light.

He…

He had finally woken up.

He had slept for ten years and was drunk for ten years.

When Jiang Lan woke up, he didn’t move. He still stood in the courtyard, still looking at everything before him.

He did not care about favors or humiliation. He watched the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court. He did not care if he left or stayed. He looked at the clouds in the sky.

He had stayed here while day and night alternated, and it was obvious that the four seasons had changed.

A strong wind blew through the courtyard, ruffling Jiang Lan’s long clothes.

Feeling the chill in the wind, Jiang Lan closed his eyes again.

Crack!

A clear voice sounded in Jiang Lan’s mind.

At this moment, Jiang Lan felt as if he was standing in front of a door.

Behind the door was an endless void.

It was as if by entering, he would be able to search for the path of immortality that he had been pursuing for a long time.

Void Refinement Realm.
