Jiang Lan looked at this path. He discovered that there was still fog in the surroundings. Only his path didn’t have fog ahead.

  However, the edge of his path was filled with fog.

  He could not see what was happening outside.

  His senses could not penetrate the fog either.

  “Is this the Jade Pool’s ability?”


  Jiang Lan was curious.

  However, he still walked forward.

  He was already standing on the path and the stone beneath his feet was nowhere to be seen.

  Jiang Lan walked forward step by step. He could feel that the fog was not an absolute barrier.

  It seemed like there was a certain possibility that he could run onto someone else’s path.

  Of course, Jiang Lan didn’t plan on doing this, nor did he want to have any unnecessary interactions with others.

  Jiang Lan, who was walking forward, suddenly felt a restriction under her feet.

  It was an array formation.

  It wasn’t hard to break open.

  Or rather, it was very easy.

  Just as Jiang Lan intended to remove the array formation’s restrictions.

  An attack suddenly appeared from within the fog.

  It went straight through towards him.

  Jiang Lan was startled and immediately punched out.

  However, just as the attack was about to reach him, he realized that it was not a man-made attack, but an attack by the fog.

  Boom!!

  With a punch, the attack from the fog shattered.

  He had used the power of a Golden Core to counter the attack.

  However, after shattering the attack, he took out a spirit sword.

  The spirit swords used by personal disciples were much better than most normal spirit swords.

  Although he did have much better spirit swords.

  They were all received through signing in.

  He couldn’t take them out.

  He didn’t really calculate how many he had gotten. After all, sword techniques weren’t as strong as his Power of Nine Bulls.

  Then, Jiang Lan broke through the restrictions.

  He roughly understood.

  The path was restricted by array formations and there were all kinds of attacks that could come from within the fog.

  The further he went down, the higher the probability of him being imprisoned or attacked.

  “I feel like I might not be able to enter the Jade Pool.”


  Although he had some understanding of array formations, his strength was lacking.

  He couldn’t use his Essence Soul Realm strength here.

  It was hard to say if he would be discovered.

  There was no need to take risks.

  “I’m not very good at both array formation formations and cultivation.”


  Ai!

  He let out a soft sigh.

  Jiang Lan then stepped forward.

  He had decided that he would just do his best.

  If he couldn’t make it, he could still wait for the next time.

  That was unless someone managed to enter the Jade Pool this time.

  Of course, if possible, he would still try his best to enter.

  After all, he had to depend on his luck if he failed to enter this time.

  What if someone had entered this time?

  In that case, he would not have the chance to enter the Jade Pool.

  At least not for the next thousand years.

  Without thinking too much, Jiang Lan continued forward.

  He maintained his vigilance as he dispelled the formations on the way to avoid the surrounding attacks.

  However, he realized that dodging was useless.

  Even if he managed to dodge the attack, it would still continue.

  He could only counter it or move on.

  However, if he chose to move on, the confinement array would still remain, causing him to be trapped.

  This…


  It was too difficult to be alone.

  After a long time, Jiang Lan felt that the sky had already darkened.

  At this rate, he wouldn’t be able to get far by tomorrow morning.

  The duration of the opening of the Jade Pool was not stated clearly either.

  It was most likely the case that this selection would end the moment one person managed to enter the Jade Pool.

  “Do I need to work with someone else?”


  But he was so weak…


  As long as someone learned that he was from the Ninth Summit, they would choose not to cooperate with him.

  There was no other way.

  The disciples of the Ninth Summit had always been criticized.

  No one from the Ninth Summit was talented enough to be a representative of the summit in Kunlun.

  After all, it was just him from the Ninth Summit.

  “This might be the only chance to enter the Jade Pool. Let’s give it a try.”


  Jiang Lan placed his hand on the fog beside the road.

  At this moment, his path seemed to have become accessible.

  Then, he felt someone walking into his path.

  Not long after, a strand of long hair fell, and a woman in a blue and white immortal dress landed behind Jiang Lan.

  Jiang Lan was surprised to see this person.

  Ao Longyu.

  He had never imagined that Ao Longyu would come.

  Ao Longyu was also a little surprised.

  She didn’t like traveling with others, so she walked forward alone.

  After all, the person she would partner with would be allocated randomly.

  If it was Junior Sister Siya, she would not refuse.

  However, it was very difficult for her to get Junior Sister Siya as her teammate through a random selection.

  Hence she thought that there was no need to waste her time and chose to proceed alone.

  But after walking for a long time, she realized that it was very difficult for an individual person to walk far.

  In order to enter the Jade Pool, she could only try to find someone to cooperate with her.

  However, she did not expect that she would arrive on the path of her Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit.

  “The strong would always be partnered with someone weaker.” Seeing the other party’s confusion, Ao Longyu explained.

  This was the rule.

  And there was only one chance.

  One could refuse after seeing the potential teammate.

  However, one could only continue walking forward alone after that.

  Jiang Lan didn’t know about these rules, but he also felt that it was difficult to take advantage of them.

  However, he was not familiar with Ao Longyu.

  Before he could speak, Ao Longyu’s calm and emotionless voice could be heard.

  “Junior Brother wants to enter the Jade Pool?”


  “I want to try,” Jiang Lan replied.

  He did want to try.

  “I’m from the Dragon race and have pretty good strength. I can block the attacks around me.

  Junior Brother, are you good with array formations? ” Ao Longyu asked calmly.

  She could indeed work with Jiang Lan.

  This was because Jiang Lan had some accomplishments in the study of array formations.

  At least, he was better than her.

  Jiang Lan pondered for a moment. With Ao Longyu’s strength, he could indeed make his progress much faster.

  But his attainments in array formations were not that strong.

  He knew his limits.

  He did not intend to force himself.

  “Only a little bit.” Jiang Lan spoke.

  Ao Longyu remained silent for a moment.

  She looked down at the ground as though she was thinking about her gains and losses.

  After a moment, she looked at Jiang Lan and asked.

  “Junior Brother, are you willing to cooperate with me?”
