Jiang Lan would naturally look up to confirm if someone had appeared.

He did not sense anyone just now.

​​

When he looked up, he realized that the other party was also very surprised.

It was as if he had just seen him as well.

It was a young man.

He was wearing the Kunlun Mountain disciple uniform.

His cultivation was at the perfected Golden Core realm.

"Is this the senior brother of the First Summit that they're talking about? He's trying to break through to the Essence Soul realm here?"

Jiang Lan immediately made a guess.

At this moment, the other party nodded at him.

Jiang Lan immediately nodded in return.

This was a senior brother, so he naturally would not be rude.

Especially when the other party took the initiative to greet him.

However, the other party didn't say anything.

Jiang Lan naturally didn't say anything either.

It was not suitable to talk while standing on the lake as it was easy to get distracted.

As for why he couldn't sense the man earlier with his cultivation level, it must have been due to the Peaceful Void Lake.

After that, Jiang Lan didn't care about anything else. He realized that it was very difficult to fight here.

It was as if he could only stand on the surface of the water if he was calm.

If he wanted to fight with others, he had to maintain a calm heart.

It wasn't that easy.

Perhaps it was fine if he had a pure fighting spirit.

But Jiang Lan felt that it was very difficult for him to do so.

However, he did not know if the person opposite him could do it.

He'll just take it as he could.

He just needed to be in peak condition to prevent any accidents.

Jiang Lan didn't have any intention to harm others, but he was always on guard.

Gu Qi glanced at Jiang Lan and didn't pay further attention.

He was a disciple of the First Summit, a prodigy of this generation. For him to be able to come here, there had to be something special about him.

His cultivation level was not high, but it didn't mean anything when they were still young.

Except…

Gu Qi did not intend to fall behind the other party.

He fell into the water earlier on and started from the top again after resting.

Now that there were people here, he only hoped that they would vie for it against him.

Or rather, they would make it something worth fighting for.

He had taken a more remote path and was someone who fought to compete.

It was very difficult for people to attack others here, but it was very easy for him.

However, he would not attack. He would only compete.

He was competitive.

He was very pure.

"I look forward to you igniting my fighting spirit."

Gu Qi muttered to himself.

Then, he continued to walk forward.

Only if the other party could keep up with him, would he be able to ignite his fighting spirit.

If he couldn't keep up, he would still compete with him.

This was technically a more advanced realm. However, with his current cultivation, it was very difficult for him to enter this realm.

Jiang Lan didn't mind that the other party had moved.

It was better for him if no one was around.

It was fine to walk behind others. At least he felt more at ease.

Then, Jiang Lan looked at the water surface and at his blurry reflection in the water. He walked forward.

This seemed to be targeting his Essence Soul.

Perhaps it could help him advance better.

…

When Jiang Lan was sent into the Peaceful Void Lake, some of the disciples outside were very curious as to when Jiang Lan would come out.

"I remember that he would be sent out once he fell to the bottom of the lake, right? Do you think that junior brother would come out in a sorry state?"

"Who knows? You'll know after watching for a while. Those who enter for the first time usually don't perform well."

"I don't think that's possible. It's true that the junior brother of the Ninth Summit has average talent.

However, don't forget one thing. He is a disciple of the Ninth Summit."

"Aren't the disciples of the Ninth Summit more rich in resources?"

A disciple who had recently joined Kunlun asked curiously.

To others, Jiang Lan was their junior brother, but to these new disciples, Jiang Lan was their senior brother.

However, there were very few disciples who could come to the Peaceful Void Lake.

Therefore, the disciples Jiang Lan saw were mostly his senior brothers.

Unknowingly, Jiang Lan's cultivation on the surface had actually surpassed many senior brothers and sisters.

This was because he had gathered all the resources of the Ninth Summit.

As the only disciple of the Ninth Summit, his treatment far surpassed that of others.

This included the geniuses from the other peaks.

As long as his Master had it, Jiang Lan would have whatever that could help him.

This was why many people felt that Jiang Lan's cultivation level was due to the accumulation of these resources.

A cultivation from such accumulation was unstable. Therefore, they believed it was difficult for him to go far.

"No, since this junior brother can stay on the Ninth Summit for so long, his temperament is definitely good.

At least he's stronger than us.

Therefore, he has an advantage on the Peaceful Void Lake."

"But he's just a Foundation Establishment disciple after all. This is the first time he's in the Peaceful Void Lake. If you aren't mentally prepared, it's very easy for you to fall to the bottom of the lake.

It was especially so for this junior brother of the Ninth Summit. He rarely came out of seclusion and had never seen the world.

He's more likely to fall to the bottom of the lake in an instant."

"Let's just watch and we'll see. I feel that even if you don't fall to the bottom of the lake, you will still be greatly affected.

After being worn down a few times, you will have to come out to recuperate."

The Ancient Wine Daoist drank his wine as he listened to their discussions.

Actually, Mo Zhengdong wanted him to take special care of Jiang Lan so that he could walk further and see more clearly.

With his help, Jiang Lan could indeed walk further than before.

But he decided not to help.

He sent him straight to the center of the ninth location on the lake.

Since he had given him special treatment, it could not be considered that he didn't do anything.

However, he didn't know how Jiang Lan would perform.

He was also looking forward to it.

"If he really falls to the bottom of the lake because he hasn't seen the world, I can just continue to give him the privilege of the ninth location."

The Ancient Wine Daoist muttered to himself.

This wine was too fragrant.

He could not afford it and could not refuse.

Mo Zhengdong was really willing to do this for his disciple.

That seemed about right. After all, he was the only personal disciple he had accepted after so many years.
