Chapter 401 – Deity Position

Kunlun Heart Sutra.
Jiang Lan had seen it before.
At the Kunlun Temple, he had especially sat beside the Heart Sutra for a long time.
There were many things in the Kunlun Temple, but very few people managed to obtain fortuitous opportunities in it.
The number of times it opened was even fewer.
He had only seen it open once in his 580 years in the sect.
But there was definitely something special in it.
Fortuitous opportunities were accompanied by danger, and they were not good for him.
Because it would easily expose his strength.
Jiang Lan skipped the Kunlun Heart Sutra and focused on the book on the Heavenly Tribulation Golden Lotus.
He had seen this thing before. His master had told him that it was used to defend against heavenly tribulations.
But the exact effect was unknown.
Out of curiosity, he opened the page that recorded the Heavenly Tribulation Golden Lotus and wanted to see the exact details of it.
Soon, he saw the rough records.
The Heavenly Tribulation Golden Lotus was left behind by the Kunlun Ancestor.
There were a total of nine of them and in each of them, it contained the Dao.
It was so precious that it was hard to find.
The material used to craft it was the Heaven Calamity Profound Stone. It could withstand heavenly tribulations and absorb them for its own use.
After forging, it could resonate with the heavenly tribulation and protect its owner from it.
The heavenly tribulation would definitely leave behind a tribulation shadow that could disappear in a hundred years.
If there were too many tribulation shadows in the lotus, it would affect the effects of the golden lotus.
…
The book also recorded other details about the Golden Lotus.
Jiang Lan took a look as well.
It was not very useful.
But…
There was something on it that really bothered him.
What did “leaving behind a tribulation shadow that could disappear in a hundred years” mean?
This meant that the Heavenly Tribulation Golden Lotus that his master gave him was supposed to have the aura of the heavenly tribulation since he had supposedly finished his heavenly tribulation.
In reality, he didn’t.
Jiang Lan silently closed the book and returned it to its original position.
Then, he continued to look around.
To see if there were any other books.
He was a little concerned. At present, he could not be sure if his master had discovered it or not.
Perhaps he had found out.
However, his master did not mention it. Was he pretending not to know?
It was highly possible.
He was currently thinking if he should go back and ask his master about it.
After walking around, Jiang Lan didn’t see any other books he wanted to read.
He went up two more floors.
It was a floor that could only be accessed by Celestial Immortals.
He actually didn’t want to come up because he was worried that he would encounter some seniors.
It would be too easy for him to catch the other party’s attention. This was not what he wanted.
However, since he had already tried, he could only brace himself and try to come up.
Fortunately, there was no one here.
After walking around, he found a lot of impressive things.
Cultivation techniques, spell techniques, and various books on cultivation insights.
He didn’t dare to touch them.
There were also some books on the knowledge that he did not dare to touch.
As long as it wasn’t related to Kunlun itself, he wouldn’t touch it.
It would easily affect him negatively.
Finally, he saw a book.
It was called “Ancient Imperial Knowledge”.
He did not take another glance at it.
In the end, he left the floor, not daring to go up.
He was in awe of the unknown realm.
He felt an inexplicable sense of danger as he went higher.
However, he, who appeared to only be a Human Immortal, had already gone overboard by coming this far.
He heaved a heavy sigh of relief when he returned to the Human Immortal level.
He felt a sense of relief.
“I don’t know if that ‘Ancient Imperial Knowledge’ has anything to do with the ancient inheritance of my Deity Position. Unfortunately, only Celestial Immortals can go up there. If I want to see it, I’ll have to wait a long time.”
Jiang Lan sighed inwardly. If he wanted to properly read it, he had to wait for his cultivation to rise to the Celestial Immortal Realm.
Or perhaps when his strength had reached the level of his master and the rest.
Or perhaps when he took over the Ninth Summit.
When that time came, he would not be afraid of being spied upon.
At that time, there was no need to hide like today.
Hence, he started to think about a question. Was it easier for his surface cultivation level to reach the Celestial Immortal Realm, or was it easier for his true cultivation level to reach the level of his master’s?
He felt that it might be easier to catch up to his master’s cultivation level.
He just didn’t know how difficult it would be to advance after becoming a Celestial Immortal.
He wouldn’t look at the book now, because he was not supposed to know what the Ancient Imperial palace was.
Once he flipped through it.
He might be targeted.
And following which, exposed.
Although he might have been exposed to his master, his master was different from others.
Before he had the strength to protect himself, he would try his best to hide in the shadows.
He would become stronger quietly.
Until he was strong enough to deal with any problem.
His current goal was to see through his master’s cultivation level.
Unfortunately, it was not realized yet.
…
In the evening.
Jiang Lan arrived at the library.
Junior Brother Qiao had been waiting for a long time.
“Senior Brother, over here.”
After Jiang Lan left, Junior Brother Qiao handed the list to Jiang Lan.
“Senior Brother, take a look. The books are ready.”
After taking a look at the list, Jiang Lan realized that there were a variety of books.
Most of them were meant for Human Immortals and True Immortals. Only a very small number of them were meant for Human Immortals and Celestial Immortals.
However, having books meant for the Celestial Immortals on the list left Jiang Lan a bit surprised.
There were mentions on the list which could be checked. Otherwise, he would not know what cultivation realm requirement each book had based on its name.
After putting everything away, Jiang Lan took his leave.
Junior Brother Qiao watched Jiang Lan leave and sighed with emotion.
“Is this the Senior Brother who is about to marry the Goddess?
He doesn’t look as bad as the rumors say.
He gives me an easygoing and calm feeling. Ordinary people would not make me feel this way.”
“Rumors often do not match the truth. The Ninth Summit’s Junior Brother is actually not bad at all.
It is just that he was criticized at the start and he did not make any response to it.
This gives people the impression that he had always been trash.
Actually, every time he appears, he will always be stronger than others.
Rumors are just rumors. You can listen to it but do not believe in it. “Zhang Sheng lowered his head and recorded the information as he explained.
“I see.” Junior Brother Qiao nodded.
He expressed that he understood.
“I wonder when this Senior Brother will become an immortal and marry the Goddess. That will definitely be a grand occasion.” Junior Brother Qiao looked forward to it.
Then, he continued working.
He didn’t have time to stop.
…
…
After returning to the Ninth Summit.
Jiang Lan planned to put the book away before cleaning the weeds and checking the array formations.
He wanted to see if anything else happened during the eruption of the Netherworld’s Entrance.
In these fifteen years, the eruption of the Netherworld’s Entrance was almost over.
Therefore, he only needed to see if the array formations had been affected, be it from the outside or inside.
He needed to take a look.
He walked into the library of the Ninth Summit.
Jiang Lan saw some books on the table.
“It should be Master’s book collection.”
His master had mentioned it in the morning. He was probably waiting for him to shelve them.
However, he was rather surprised when he went over to take a look.
Ancient Imperial Knowledge, Nine Summits of Kunlun, Theory of Deity Positions, Celestial Immortal Realm, Path Of Dao Immortals…
Jiang Lan picked them up one by one and read their names.
Every book was extraordinary and he had never even heard of it.
Even though he was a Heavenly Immortal, he was only able to touch the surface of the knowledge in the books.
“None of them are for Human Immortals.”
Jiang Lan read all the titles, spells, cultivation techniques, and knowledge.
They were all meant for Heaven Immortals or higher.
After putting down the book, he exhaled heavily.
“Looks like I was indeed exposed.”
Even without the detailed introduction of the Heavenly Tribulation Golden Lotus, he knew that he had been exposed.
Why would these books be placed here at this time?
They were obviously prepared for him.
This was especially so for the books titled Ancient Imperial Knowledge and Theory of Deity Positions. They were all prepared for him.
He really didn’t know much about such aspects..
