At the Jade Pool of Kunlun.

Ao Longyu was studying the recording Dharma treasure in her hand.

"Senior Sister, can't you leave the Jade Pool?"

Lin Siya looked at Ao Longyu, who was sitting elegantly beside the Jade Pool, and asked curiously.

She was here to deliver the recording Dharma treasure. Her Senior Sister wanted to see it.

Lectures given by the Summit Leaders were very rare, so those who had recording Dharma treasures would record some of the more important questions, making it easier for them to review when they needed.

There were some things that one could gain a new insight from after listening to it for the second time.

Of course, such record Dharma treasures was very expensive.

Only a very small number of people would record all the lectures one by one.

Her Senior Sister was one of them.

"I've been cultivating recently. I want to raise my cultivation base as soon as possible," said Ao Longyu.

Her back was against the Jade Pool.

Her cultivation progress was naturally very fast.

In a few years, he would be able to reach the perfected Essence Soul Realm.

She was not too far away from the Void Refinement Realm.

She would reach breakthrough to it in a hundred years at most.

Immortal Ascension was so close.

"Does Senior Sister want to increase your cultivation level as fast as possible?" Lin Siya looked at Ao Longyu and asked.

"Senior Sister, how do you feel about the Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit?"

Ao Longyu looked up at Lin Siya and whispered.

"I don't hate him."

Very soon, she changed the topic to the recording Dharma treasure.

"This doesn't seem to last long."

"That's right. If it weren't for the fact that the few Martail Uncles didn't use much strength when they gave the lecture, it would have collapsed long ago."

Immortals would unconciously let off immortal powers to influence the listeners when speaking. It was very difficult for such a recording Dharma treasure to withstand it.

At most, it would last for a year.

So Senior Sister needs to finish reading it as soon as possible, "explained Lin Siya.

Ao Longyu nodded lightly.

"Then I'll go back and cultivate." Lin Siya bade Ao Longyu farewell and left.

She had personally attended the lectures.

Coincidentally, she had heard the explanation she needed.

Some things suddenly became clear to her.

Now she had to go back and enter seclusion for a while.

However, she couldn't enter seclusion for too long. She still needed to listen to the rest.

Ao Longyu looked at the recording as Lin Siya went back.

After making sure that there were no problems, she used the special properties of the Jade Pool to throw the recording Dharma treasure to the Ninth Summit.

After she saw the recording Dharma treasure land safely on the Ninth Summit, she took out the small wooden sword and continued practicing the Dragon Slaying Sword.

She felt that she should be able to learn the Dragon Slaying Sword.

…

Jiang Lan looked at the bead with some doubt.

He then took a closer look. It came from the direction of the Jade Pool.

He waved his hand and the bead landed on his palm.

"Recording Dharma treasure?"

He had this thing too, but he had never used it before.

Both were given to him by Ao Longyu. One was given in exchange, while the other was returned to him.

The meaning of return was different.

As for this, he did not quite understand.

Why did she gift him another one again?

Then he tried to check what was inside.

Upon closer inspection, he saw some words appearing around him: The lectures given by the various Martial Uncles from the various summits.

"Is this all the lectures given by the various Summit Leaders this year?"

Jiang Lan indeed wanted to go and take a look, but it wasn't suitable for him to go down the mountain.

He hadn't expected Ao Longyu to deliver it.

However, he did not check it immediately. Instead, he first took care of the Ninth Summit first.

When everything was done.

He then sat in the courtyard and began to check it out.

He watched it neither fast nor slow, gaining enlightenment as every second passed.

This was especially the case when he saw a Senior giving a lecture meant for those in the Void Refinement Realm, which was especially useful for him.

He had the cultivation insights that his master had given him previously, but everyone was different, so the effects were naturally different.

For the lectures on the realms after the Void Refinement Realm, he would watch them when he needed to.

The recording involved almost everything.

Alchemy and forging skills were all taught.

However, he only had a rough understanding of them and did not delve too deeply into it.

He didn't have that much time to learn these things.

He spent half a year watching the contents of the recording bead.

After that, he started cultivating wholeheartedly.

He would read books during the day and raise his cultivation at night.

The second year.

He saw yet another recording Dharma treasure in the Ninth Summit's hall.

It was sent from the Jade Pool.

Then, his routine changed to watching records during the day and cultivating at night.

Until he finished watching what was relavant to him.

The next eight years.

Every year, Jiang Lan would receive a recording Dharma treasure.

Every time, he would spend half a year watching the contents.

Ten years later, Jiang Lan felt that he was very close to the late-stage Void Refinement Realm.

Perhaps in the next fifty or so years, he would be able to reach the perfected Void Refinement Realm.

This way, he would be one step closer to becoming an immortal.

Ten years of lectures had passed, and Jiang Lan had never received another bead from the Jade Pool.

However, he would come to the square out of habit every year to take a look.

Spring passed and autumn came. Flowers bloomed and fell.

Ten years passed quickly.

Kunlun, which was shrouded in darkness, welcomed the first ray of sunlight.

When Jiang Lan opened his eyes again, his body underwent a new transformation.

His strength became stable, and his eyes were like the bright moon.

However, everything returned to normal in an instant.

Late-stage Void Refinement Realm.

If he were to meet the people from the Second Summit again, he would be able to relax when confronting them.

He was only two steps away from becoming an immortal.

To perfect his Void Refinement was the first step, and to find and walk through the gate of immortality was another.

"Twenty years have passed. I wonder if everyone is still discussing about the matter of the engagement."

Theoretically, people should have toned down when talking about the matter of the engagement or perhaps had even forgotten about it.

The lectures that had been held throughout the past decade had interrupted the buzz brought about by the engagement.

In the next ten years, most people would definitely enter a long period of seclusion.

There should be very few people mentioning the Goddess' engagement to the Ninth Summit.

"I should continue my seclusion and perfect my Void Refinement."

His cultivation level on the surface remained at the early-stage Essence Soul Realm.

However, after watching so many lectures, it should have more or less aided in his cultivation.

Therefore, in another ten years, he planned to add another layer of cultivation concealment.

In other words, his cultivation on the surface would only be at the early-stage Essence Soul Realm while his hidden cultivation was at the mid-stage Essence Soul Realm. His actual cultivation was naturally at the late-stage Void Refinement Realm.

Only he knew his true cultivation level.

"It's time to repair the house."

Jiang Lan muttered to himself.

So many years had passed.

If the house was not repaired, it would be easy for problems to arise.

Although he had never stayed here before.

But the house was necessary.

He couldn't possibly stay in the Netherworld Cave forever.

During his years of cultivation, he had always used the Goddess Diagram. Naturally, he would occasionally look at the dragon inside.

She was rather energetic.

She didn't look as depressed as before.

However, he could only see her beside the Jade Pool or inside the Jade Pool.

The details were unknown.

And the delay was quite serious.

The location would only be refreshed every half a day.

"After that, I'll spend two to three years familiarizing myself with spells.

I can also try out the Power Of Nine Tribulations."

Every time he advanced, he would spend time familiarizing himself with spells.

Although he wouldn't really use them much in the end.

However, they could come in handy when the need for them arises.

If there came a time when he could not unleash his full strength because of him wanting to hide his cultivation and he was not able to tide through the danger or test, then that would not be worth it.

He still had to be respectful towards danger.

Although there might not be any, making sufficient preparations were always right.

"En?"

Just as he was about to step out, Jiang Lan received feedback from the alarm array formation.

"Someone is breaking into the courtyard?"

He had previously planted some peach trees near the courtyard and made a peach blossom forest.

There was a trapping array there.

Those who did not know enough about array formations would not be able to enter.

Unless one had overwhelming power.

Breaking all techniques with overwhelming power.

If one couldn't break it, then it was naturally because his strength wasn't great enough.

Jiang Lan felt that it was very easy to break through the array formations if he were to use his Power of Nine Bulls.

"But who would come to the Ninth Summit for no reason?"

In broad daylight, it wouldn't be those who wanted to target the Netherworld Cave.

However, there was indeed not much time before the Netherworld Cave became active and started erupting again.

Thus, it was not impossible either.
