“Junior Brother, have you seen the courtyard?”


  Xiao Yu seized Jiang Lan’s right to control the sword and began to use her power as a Human Immortal to control the sword and fly.

  She wanted to teach her Junior Brother the essence of Sword Kinesis.

  Jiang Lan felt it.

  After all, he rarely experienced the speed of a Human Immortal.

  He had only experienced it on a trip outside and did not dare to ride the sword for too long.

  Doing so was eye-catching and would easily bring him trouble.

  It was still the safest to use his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel.

  He had always lived with vigilance.

  Once he reached the Human Immortal Realm on the surface, everything should be better.

  He could also fly faster on his sword.

  In Kunlun, there were many disciples who had become Human Immortals.

  Immortals were different from humans.

  “Senior Sister was the one who cleaned the courtyard?” Jiang Lan asked.

  “Although it’s still a little lacking compared to Junior Brother, it’s just a little lacking.

  And I’ve only just begun. Junior Brother has been cleaning for centuries.

  From the looks of it, I’m more talented than you, Junior Brother.” Xiao Yu said smugly.

  The lifespan of a house might be reduced by twenty years, Jiang Lan thought.

  However, he had never thought of letting Senior Sister clean it.

  He was not cleaning for the sake of cleaning.

  Most of the time, it was to calm himself down.

  Of course, the Ninth Summit still needed to be kept clean.

  Otherwise, the road would disappear.

  It would damage the dignity of the Ninth Summit.

  Like an abandoned mountain.

  This was definitely unacceptable.

  …


  A moment later.

  Ao Longyu was stunned. She felt that she had only been riding her sword for a short while.

  Yet, they had already arrived at the Ninth Summit.

  “I feel like the distance from the Jade Pool to the Ninth Summit is getting closer and closer.” Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan and said.

  “It’s because Senior Sister’s cultivation level has increased. Your sword-riding speed is getting faster and faster,” Jiang Lan said softly as he got off the flying sword.

  Xiao Yu followed suit and handed the wooden sword to Jiang Lan.

  “It’s mainly because I have Junior Brother by my side today. I can’t feel the time.

  When Junior Brother wasn’t around, I felt that time passed very slowly. ”


  Jiang Lan looked at it without saying anything.

  He gently received the wooden sword.

  Although the wooden sword did not have the Dragon Slaying Sword’s Sword Intent currently, it was no longer an ordinary wooden sword.

  Even if he did not augment it with his sword intent, it could still be used as the Dragon Slaying Sword.

  It was just that it was not as obvious as when it was enhanced.

  “Come to think of it, it’s been almost a hundred years since the last challenge. Does Senior Sister plan on starting the challenge early?” Jiang Lan asked.

  The last challenge had taken place around 80 plus years ago.

  There was still a little more than ten years.

  It was fine to conduct it ahead of time.

  His Senior Sister would probably be more excited. She had the advantage.

  Therefore, it was fine to let his Senior Sister be happy for a while.

  “Junior Brother, are you in such a hurry to listen to me?” Xiao Yu smiled at Jiang Lan.

  “In order to respect my junior brother, I think I won’t suppress my cultivation next time.

  This is my acknowledgment of you, Junior Brother.”


  A Dragoness who would be happy only for a moment.

  Jiang Lan thought to himself and didn’t pay much attention to it.

  Instead, he took the wooden sword and walked towards the courtyard. He needed to sit at the side and embed it with his sword intent.

  Xiao Yu naturally followed by Jiang Lan’s side. The gentle breeze fluttered her clothes, and her originally silky clothing outlined her figure.

  At a glance, it felt very comfortable. It was as though they were standing on a plain, looking at the beautiful scenery.

  However, his Senior Sister’s waist was very thin.

  If he bent it, it should break, right?

  He could not sense the high defense capabilities of a dragon from his Senior Sister.

  Xiao Yu sat opposite Jiang Lan.

  At this moment.

  Jiang Lan saw a faint red pattern on the side of Xiaoyu’s face.

  Xiaoyu immediately covered her face and said.

  “It will disappear soon. I was too anxious during cultivation and lost control of my qi.”


  “It’s actually very beautiful,” Jiang Lan said.

  He was telling the truth.

  This pattern did not affect the beauty of the side profile.

  However, he also knew that this was an injury left behind by his Senior Sister.

  “Even if it looks good, you won’t be able to see it later.” Xiao Yu stood up and said.

  “We can let the challenge proceed a bit later as planned. I will let you enjoy commanding me for the last few years. After another ten or so years, it will be my turn.”


  “If Senior Sister wins, what will you make me do?” Jiang Lan asked curiously.

  Because if he didn’t ask, he wouldn’t know.

  It was impossible for his Senior Sister to win.

  Unless he was not allowed to use the array formations.

  Only then would she have the chance to win the challenge.

  The other way that his Senior Sister could possibly win is that if they fought at the Jade Pool. After all, that was his Senior Sister’s backyard.

  “Yes.” Xiao Yu thought for a while before sitting beside Jiang Lan and looking at his side profile.

  “Junior Brother, who do you think is the most beautiful fairy in Kunlun?”


  Jiang Lan was rather curious when he heard this question. He turned to Xiao Yu and asked.

  “Isn’t it Senior Sister?”


  Even though his Senior Sister was a dragon, he had never seen anyone more beautiful than her.

  If she reverted to her true form, then…


  The answer would definitely be someone else.

  “Me?” Xiao Yu pointed at herself in surprise.

  After Jiang Lan nodded, a smile appeared on her face.

  Then, she stood up and patted Jiang Lan on the head.

  “Junior Brother, I will protect you in the future.”


  “Then I shall protect Senior Sister in the future,” Jiang Lan said.

  This did not conflict.

  Besides, he only needed to protect his Senior Sister’s smile.

  In the evening.

  Jiang Lan updated his old spiritual courtyard and added some things.

  This way, Xiao Yu could have more fun.

  It was different from the spiritual inn.

  The thing in the spiritual courtyard was the Ice Cicadas. It would attack people if it didn’t sense it.

  It could create a big red bump on his Senior Sister’s forehead.

  Every time she was hit, Jiang Lan could feel his Senior Sister’s resentful gaze.

  It was as if he had bullied her.

  As he watched his Senior Sister play enthusiastically, Jiang Lan felt that his Senior Sister was still the same, even if she had technically become an adult.

  The more time he spent with his Senior Sister, the more he felt that his Senior Sister was the most mature when he met her for the first time.

  She had entered the mist alone to look for her Junior Brothers and Sisters then.

  She stayed behind to face the enemy.

  He had seen it, but…


  He did not interfere.

  At this point, he felt somewhat relieved.

  Because at that time, his Senior Sister had managed to survive.

  Otherwise…


  He would never be as content as he was now.

  In his heart, he never felt that there was anyone who could replace his Senior Sister and accompany him.

  The most likely scenario he would be in now if it were not for his Senior Sister would be that he would be cultivating alone and walking the path of Dao alone.

  Little by little, he would grow stronger.

  In the end, he will stand at the peak of the world, alone like his master.

  His path towards immortality and invincibility would have no restraints and no worries.

  He would also become old alone and remain childless.

  This was the journey he had always yearned for, but now he suddenly felt…


  Such a life was somewhat sad.

  Bang!

  Just as Jiang Lan was thinking, he received a heavy blow to his forehead.

  Then, he immediately activated his mid-stage Void Refinement cultivation, and he grabbed at the thing that was attacking him.

  It was not big.

  The moment he grabbed it, he felt a chill.

  Without a doubt, it was an Ice Cicada.

  Why would an Ice Cicada attack him?

  He lifted his head and looked in Xiao Yu’s direction. Xiao Yu was also looking at him in shock.

  However, Xiao Yu turned her head stiffly and looked elsewhere. She used her hands to cover the moonlight and squinted at the starry sky.

  “Junior Brother, look. The starry sky is really dazzling today.”


  Jiang Lan looked up at the sky.

  The wind tonight was a little noisy, Jiang Lan thought.

  Then he put the Ice Cicada back into the woods.

  He then looked at the Goddess Diagram to see if his Senior Sister was still in her infant dragon form.

  Except…


  As his Senior Sister had left the Jade Pool, he couldn’t see her actual form in the Goddess Diagram.
