Chapter 74: Are You Sure Of The Path You Are Taking?

After watering the vegetative egg with spirit liquid, Jiang Lan returned to the Netherworld Cave.

In the past, it was always him and the vegetative egg in the Netherworld Cave.

Now, he was the only one left.

There was no other way.

If the vegetative egg continued to stay in the Netherworld Cave, it would soon become a bad egg.

It wasn’t easy for him to raise a vegetative egg. He didn’t plan to let it die just like that.

When he returned to the Netherworld Cave, he could sense that the aura of the Netherworld had become even heavier.

But it didn’t hurt him at all.

The only thing he needed to care about was to prevent his inner demons from appearing.

“Let’s take a look at the Goddess Diagram first.”

Before preparing to cultivate, Jiang Lan needed to figure out the exact effects of the Jade Pool Goddess Diagram.

Inside his mind.

The Goddess Diagram appeared before him.

This time, Jiang Lan could feel that the diagram had been activated and could be used anytime.

With a thought, he opened the diagram.

There was no goddess on it the last time he had opened it.

Now that Ao Longyu had entered the Jade Pool and became the Jade Pool’s Goddess, the diagram had also been activated.

This meant that there should be a change within the album.

This change was most likely due to Ao Longyu in the Jade Pool.

As for the exact situation, he would only know after seeing it.

After the diagram was opened, the Jade Pool from before appeared again.

It was a diagram of a calm lake.

However, Ao Longyu was nowhere to be seen. Jiang Lan then looked elsewhere.

Then, he saw a snow-white dragon on the shore.

It was very small.

“If I’m not wrong, this should be Ao Longyu, right? It’s exactly the same as what I saw in the bath scene last time, and it’s not much bigger compared to then. Could she be underaged?”

However, Ao Longyu in her human form did not look like an underaged person at all.

Although she didn’t look mature, she didn’t look like a child either. She was more like a youth.

She had slender legs and a good figure.

She was a little immature, but definitely not a child.

Jiang Lan shook his head.

He did not know much about the growth cycle of the dragons.

Then, he began to use the Jade Pool Goddess Painting.

This was a shared medium.

With this, Jiang Lan could share the fortuitous opportunities of the Jade Pool.

One could have a share of the essence of all things gathered in the Jade Pool by Kunlun.

However, after careful inspection by Jiang Lan, he discovered that there could be said to be no fortuitous opportunity in the Jade Pool.

Something was wrong.

“Is it because the goddess has just appeared and the fortuitous opportunity has yet to condense, or has it already been used up?”

Jiang Lan instantly thought of the bead on his body.

It seemed to have gathered a large portion of the essence of the Jade Pool.

“Let’s observe for a while more.”

There was no way to confirm this matter. However, although the essence of all living things would be continuously condensed later on in the Jade Pool, a portion of it would directly enter the Jade Pool Goddess Diagram.

Therefore, even if he continued to cultivate, he would not be discovered.

Jiang Lan closed the Jade Pool Goddess Painting and started cultivating.

Right now, not cultivating for a day was equivalent to wasting a day of resources.

The eruption of aura at the Netherworld Cave’s entrance only lasted for a few years.

If he missed it, he would have to wait for another hundred years.

Furthermore, there was still the bead from Ao Longyu.

This bead was a tricky thing.

He needed to absorb it as soon as possible.

As for the Ninth Summit.

Jiang Lan decided to wait for thirty to fifty years before going out again.

His master would not let him go down the mountain easily these few years either.

If he had to go out to gain experience…

He would choose to go catch a few more ice cicadas again.

With no other thoughts in mind, Jiang Lan cultivated in peace. At the same time, with the help of the Netherworld Aura and the Jade Pool’s essence from the bead, his cultivation speed increased significantly.

This was not to mention the resources he would gain from signing in.

Three years later.

Jiang Lan, who was originally cultivating, suddenly heard a voice. This voice seemed to come from an endless abyss.

The moment the voice appeared, he felt as if he had fallen into the depths of hell.

At this moment, Jiang Lan stayed true to his heart and circulated his cultivation.

He walked out of the abyss step by step.

He didn’t look back. He kept his peace and advanced slowly.

He couldn’t see anything.

It was as if the darkness of the world made one feel blind.

Darkness was the thing that affected one’s heart the most.

But Jiang Lan didn’t mind.

His steps were stable, and his mind was one with his body. Step by step, he walked out of the abyss.

“Why don’t you look back? Perhaps the path you took was wrong in the first place. You think you’re leaving the darkness, but in reality, you’re walking towards… a bottomless abyss. If you don’t turn back, how can you be sure of your own path? Are you sure you are heading the right way? Or perhaps you have been wrong all along.”

An ethereal voice sounded in his mind.

It wanted to disintegrate Jiang Lan’s mind and faith, making him suspicious of his own cultivation path.

However, Jiang Lan ignored it.

This was the Netherworld’s ravings.

It was everywhere.

This time, it was just an accidental intrusion. In the past, it was impossible for the other party to have such an influence.

Whether or not the path under his feet was right. This was a question that no one had a clear answer to.

Before reaching the end, who could be sure?

Why should he doubt it?

Wasn’t this a problem that existed in the first place?

Jiang Lan advanced step by step without stopping.

A ray of light pierced through the darkness.

And Jiang Lan was walking towards the light step by step.

He seemed to have walked for a long time.

But in reality, it was fleeting.

When he walked out, he saw light.

If he had fallen into the abyss previously, he could be said to be doomed.

Jiang Lan opened his eyes, his heart palpitating.

It was very dangerous just now.

He didn’t check if there were any problems with his body. Instead, he looked at the entrance to the Netherworld.

At this moment, Jiang Lan seemed to see a figure standing by the well.

It was similar to that of the aura of the Netherworld.

“Has the major eruption started? No wonder I almost lost my mind.”

It should be the peak of the eruption at the Netherworld’s entrance now.

Even he might not be able to guard his mind and remain unaffected.
