“I’ll try my best.”


  Jiang Lan agreed softly.

  The arrival of the Dragon Race was unexpected, but not unacceptable.

  Logically speaking, the threat of the dragons was much smaller than that of the demons.

  Except…


  If both of them came at the same time, it would be hard to say.

  “Is there anything you need from me?”


  Mo Zhengdong didn’t say anything more about the Dragon Race. It was enough for him to mention it to Jiang Lan.

  Jiang Lan would make the necessary arrangements.

  “I wanted to ask, did Master go to the Netherworld Cave these few days?”


  Jiang Lan asked softly.

  Mo Zhengdong nodded and said slowly,

  “A few days ago.”


  “Was Master the one who broke the Catoptric Deflection?” Jiang Lan was a little surprised, but he heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.

  If it was his master, he did not have to worry about anything else.

  However, he had to continue to remedy the shortcomings of his array formations.

  “Are you doubting your master?” Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan sternly.

  “It was naturally your Martial Aunt Miao Yue who broke it.”


  Jiang Lan was silent.

  …


  After bidding farewell to his master, Jiang Lan returned to conceal the array formations.

  This time, he had to modify the array formation and change the module.

  Furthermore, he had to hand over the control of the array formation on the surface and the method to crack the first level of the array formation to his master.

  As for the array formations that were hidden deeper inside, he would modify it.

  As long as it was his master who entered the Netherworld Cave, they would not be triggered.

  That way, there wouldn’t be any problems.

  Since his Catoptric Deflection had been discovered, he could just treat it as an array formation in the open and inform his master how to crack it.

  At the same time, he could strengthen the array formation that hid the secrets of this place from the heavens and add in his Catoptric Deflection to it.

  “By adding another layer, those people will only be able to divine the fake Netherworld Cave I have set up.”


  If the array formation was triggered, he could also receive feedback from it.

  With this thought in mind, Jiang Lan began to make arrangements.

  The sooner he completed it, the more he would be at ease.

  It wasn’t easy to modify the array formations. Jiang Lan made many references and then started to set up the surrounding plants.

  He planned to use plants as array nodes.

  Once someone entered the range of the array formation, they would be trapped in the maze.

  Following which, they would enter the spiritual realm created by his Catoptric Deflection.

  A year passed peacefully.

  During this year, Jiang Lan spent most of his time setting up array formations around the Netherworld Cave.

  “Almost done.”


  Standing in the Netherworld Cave, he looked at the array formation around him and let out a sigh of relief.

  The maze array formation outside around the perimeter of the cave had long been completed. The heavenly secrets array formation had taken him more time.

  Now, as long as someone divined anything related to the Netherworld Cave, he would receive some feedback from the array formation and more or less obtain some information.

  Jiang Lan left the Netherworld Cave after he was done.

  He was going out to take a look.

  He wanted to listen to the rough situation of the Grand Desolate World and see the people outside.

  This was also to prevent himself from taking a more extreme path.

  Jiang Lan descended the mountain. He went to a cultivation area with more people.

  He activated his nature Daoist spell, loneliness to reduce his presence.

  “I don’t know what’s going on, but the devils are acting strangely again. I wonder if they will fight with other forces.”


  “Maybe they’ve already started fighting. I don’t know what’s going on with the Devil Race. I heard that they would go out to fight every few hundred years.”


  “The Demon Race has also been stirring up trouble. However, they had still suffered losses in the battle with the Dragon Race. The Dragon Race is much stronger than the Demon Race.”


  “Of course. But will the dragons come to Kunlun after the dispute ends?”


  “It’s not impossible. Back then, they did not gain anything from us.”


  Jiang Lan stopped for a moment before turning around to leave, changing his location.

  He didn’t hear anything about the Heavenly Human Race, but he had heard something about the Devil Race.

  There were many races in the Grand Desolate World, and there were many powerful factions amongst them.

  The Four Seas’ Dragon Race, Northern Wastelands’ Demon Race, Central Plains’ Heavenly Human Race, Wutong Mountain’s Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race, Underground’s Devil Race, etc.

  As long as these factions moved, it would have a great impact on those in their surroundings. Moreover, it definitely wouldn’t end in a year or two.

  The demons had fought the dragons for more than a hundred years.

  The consumption was abnormally high.

  The loser was even more upset.

  What surprised Jiang Lan was that the demons, as the defeated party, still had the strength to target the Netherworld’s Entrance.

  This did not make sense.

  “There should be something going on, but I have yet to reach the level to understand such things.”


  Jiang Lan knew his strength. The only thing he could do now was to stay on the Ninth Summit.

  His mission was to guard the entrance to the Netherworld.

  This was equivalent to protecting his own safety.

  Of course, it was mainly because his master was around.

  However, his master would grow old one day. He needed to become strong enough before his master grew old.

  He needed to be powerful so that he could guard the Ninth Summit and protect his master.

  At that time, it was unknown if he would be invincible in Kunlun.

  However, it was hard to say what the demons were thinking. The demons that were sent over in the past were all nobodies of the Demon Race.

  Of course, if they had sent too many experts, it would be too eye-catching. Sometimes, it was better to send the weaker ones to have a higher success rate.

  At Kunlun’s pill refinement area, Jiang Lan paused for a moment.

  “It seems like Mount Wutong is going to be conquered.”


  “Seriously? What happened?”


  “It hasn’t reached such a stage, right? No matter how strong the Heavenly Human Race is, there’s no way they can take down Wutong Mountain.”


  “However, the information I obtained is roughly like this. Otherwise, it would be that the Heavenly Human Race had managed to enter Wutong Mountain.”


  “Nothing comes without wind. It seems like the Heavenly Human Race and Wutong Mountain are serious this time.”


  “If the Heavenly Human Race really does launch an all-out attack, does that mean that the prodigy of the Heavenly Human Race is going to use this opportunity to make their genius forgo his emotions?”


  “Who knows? I heard that his future is limitless.”


  Jiang Lan turned around and left.

  An all-out war between the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race and the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race was beneficial to him.

  In a short period of time, he had no need to worry about the Heavenly Human Race.

  The more time he had, the stronger and safer he would be.

  Jiang Lan decided not to stay any longer and decided to walk around.

  After walking for a while, he suddenly felt a malicious intent coming from the front.

  This left him a bit shocked.

  He looked up.

  A young man was walking over.

  He was a late-stage Golden Core.

  The malice vanished the moment he looked up.

  “Senior Brother.” The young man greeted Jiang Lan.

  He seemed to have a question.

  The other party was a man who was not considered tall and was rather handsome.

  He did not see anything different with his Eyes of Truth.

  His appearance and cultivation were all fine.

  “Is something the matter, Junior Brother?” Jiang Lan asked softly.

  He did not know where the other party’s malice came from.

  There was a possibility that he was a spy, or that he knew him and was unwilling to accept the truth.

  For example, why could he have the resources of an entire summit by himself, or why he could marry the Goddess.

  Although Ao Longyu was not familiar with others, she was indeed perfect.

  Until now, he hadn’t found anything bad about her.

  If there was one, it would be that her radiance was too bright and her status was too high. This had caused quite a bit of trouble for himself.

  “I’d like to ask Senior Brother how to get to the Peaceful Void Lake,” Xu Feng asked with a warm smile.

  “Walk towards the direction of the First Summit.” Jiang Lan pointed at the First Summit and answered.

  “Thank you, Senior Brother. I won’t disturb you then.” After thanking him, Xu Feng headed towards the First Summit.

  This made Jiang Lan feel a bit strange.

  If he had not sensed any malice previously, he would have really thought that this was an ordinary disciple asking for directions.

  But the other party was someone who had seen through his nature Daoist spell.

  He was not simple.

  After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Lan activated his One Leaf Vision.

  Then, he hid in the forest that the other party had to pass to get to Peaceful Void Lake and tried to observe him.
