Chapter 179: A Leap In Quality Of Array Formations

Jiang Lan asked curiously.

“Senior Sister was also called to be the leader?”

“Is there something wrong?” Xiao Yu tilted her head and looked at Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan lowered his eyebrows and hesitated for a moment. Then, he said in a gentle voice.

“Senior Sister, you’ve been focusing on improving your cultivation, right?”

Xiao Yu blinked and said.

“Junior Brother, is it because you think that my knowledge of array formations is weak?”

“I’m just curious.” Jiang Lan didn’t say it directly.

He held the Catoptric Deflection book in his hand and did not make any unnecessary movements.

“Compared to you, Junior Brother, I’m a bit lacking. But compared to those Golden Cores, I’m very powerful. Besides…” Xiao Yu glanced at Jiang Lan with a smile.

“When the time comes, even if I have no other choice, I can still ask Junior Brother for help. Junior Brother will help, right?”

In terms of array formations, Jiang Lan was quite formidable.

Xiao Yu knew it from the start, or rather, she knew it before everyone else.

In the Third Summit’s mystic realm, she had relied on Jiang Lan’s repelling array formation to live on.

At that time, without Jiang Lan’s array formation, even if an unknown Senior were to rush in to save her, she would still die.

Later on, only with Jiang Lan’s guidance did they give a new transformation to the Bright Deity Array.

There was also the cooperation with Jiang Lan to enter the Jade Pool.

“Speaking of which, I seem to have been blessed by Junior Brother.”

Xiao Yu said.

“It was a fair trade then,” Jiang Lan said as he flipped through the book in his hand.

There was no fairness in the subsequent transactions.

Or rather, they no longer pursued fairness.

“Here.” Xiao Yu passed a piece of paper to Jiang Lan.

“This time, the number of participants entering the mystic realm is fixed. This is the list that I got from my master for Junior Brother.”

“Why didn’t Master give it to me?”

Jiang Lan was curious, but he still reached out to take the list. Perhaps his master didn’t think it was important.

It really didn’t matter.

“Many thanks, Senior Sister.” Jiang Lan received the name list and softly thanked her.

Then, he saw three names: Zhou Shu, Jin Yu, and Zheng Xi.

He seemed to have heard of their names before.

But he had no impression of them.

“Senior Sister’s party also has three people?”

Jiang Lan retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao Yu.

“No.” Xiao Yu took out her wooden sword and continued.

“I’m the one leading the entire team.”

Jiang Lan was silent.

He suddenly recalled that Xiao Yu had a Void Refinement cultivation base.

It was indeed not on the same level as him, who was in the Essence Soul Realm.

After that, they did not say anything else. Xiao Yu sat on the square and began to comprehend her Dragon Slaying Sword.

Jiang Lan flipped open the book and began to examine what was different about it.

There were no words in the book, but that didn’t mean that he couldn’t understand it.

After maintaining a stable state of mind, the book opened automatically.

Seeing the wordless book open, Jiang Lan slowly closed his eyes.

The next moment, he felt a book appear before him.

An ancient book.

The words on the top of the book were still ‘Catoptric Deflection’, but the words this time were slightly different, as if they were filled with life.

The words flowed like water.

However, upon closer inspection, it never moved.

“A book in my mind?”

Jiang Lan’s heart was calm, but he couldn’t help but admire the innkeeper.

A book could even be made like this.

He then opened the book.

The first sentence was: Fake and real, real and fake. It is hard to differentiate between what’s real and what’s fake.

Without thinking too much about it, he continued reading.

He realized that the book was not teaching him a spell, but the structure of space.

It was similar to an array formation, but not entirely the same.

Furthermore, its construction involved some immortal spells.

This was the foundation to construct the Spiritual Inn.

As Jiang Lan continued to look further, he realized that what he was teaching was the construction of a linkway.

It used one’s mind or strength as a connection point.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan suddenly felt that this Catoptric Deflection was no ordinary book.

The construction of the spiritual inn was only one of its many uses.

If this was used on array formations, it would be unbelievable.

As long as he was strong enough and comprehended enough, he could even construct a mystic realm.

This…

No wonder the innkeeper said he couldn’t afford the price.

He really couldn’t afford it.

The more he could not afford it, the more it meant that his master had sacrificed for him.

After spending a long time, Jiang Lan roughly looked through it.

He did not dare to think about constructing a mystic realm, but constructing a rough spiritual inn was not a big problem.

With the strength of a Human Immortal, it was not a problem at all.

However, his hidden surface strength was at the mid-stage Essence Soul Realm. This made it a little harder.

He decided to give it a try.

At this point, Jiang Lan opened his eyes.

The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Xiao Yu, who was dancing with her sword under the setting sun.

She moved around with her bare feet elegantly.

Each sword strike carried the true intent of the Dragon Slaying Sword.

Jiang Lan was curious about what would happen if Xiao Yu fell.

Would she kill herself?

However, Xiao Yu who was at the Void Refinement Realm, definitely wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake.

Half a month later.

Zhou Shu rushed to the Fifth Summit with Lu Qian beside him.

“I’ve finally caught up. I almost missed the chance to enter the mystic realm.” Zhou Shu’s face was filled with excitement.

“I heard that the Goddess is leading the team this time. I can finally meet the Goddess. ”

It wasn’t because the Goddess was beautiful, but because the Goddess represented the Jade Pool. She was an existence that everyone in Kunlun could only dream of meeting.

For ordinary disciples like them, they might not even be able to see the Goddess once in their lives.

Even personal disciples could not meet the Goddess.

Thus, being able to see the Goddess even once was extremely rare and exciting for them.

Because this would be their next topic of conversation.

“I wonder if I can see her. It’s good even if I were to see her from afar.” Lu Qian’s face was full of admiration.

The Goddess was a woman.

She was also a woman, but the Goddess was irreplaceable.

Her status surpassed that of everyone in Kunlun.

Thus, she worshipped her.

“It should be possible. When entering the mystic realm, the Goddess will appear,” Zhou Shu said.

Only when there was a gap would one feel superior.

Some people could not even see the Goddess, while others could see her from afar. Yet he could see her from a close distance.

“By the way, who’s your leader?” Lu Qian asked curiously.

“I don’t know. It hasn’t been confirmed yet, right? Or perhaps I haven’t been informed. I hope I won’t be hated,” Zhou Shu said.

Being hated by the leader was dangerous.

Being thrown to other teams was still considered fine. The worst-case was if the leader was unwilling to take action once they encountered danger.

Or only take action at the very end.

Then…

He didn’t dare to think about it.

“This is for you.” Lu Qian gave Zhou Shu a fiery red bead.

“It’s just an ordinary pearl, but it’s extremely rare to see flames circulating within it.”

“I’m just afraid the other party won’t take a fancy to it. But I’ve prepared this.” Zhou Shu took out a pearl with a cold aura. There seemed to be water flowing in the pearl.

They were icy water droplets.

It contained an energy that could be used as a forging material for ice-attributes Dharma treasure.

Lu Qian nodded in response. She felt that the gift was sufficient.

Lu Qian was left outside. She looked inside to see if she could see the Goddess.

The Goddess was her idol.

She wasn’t jealous because the difference in their status was just way too large.

Zhou Shu headed towards the mystic realm at the waist of the Fifth Summit. This was an exclusive path meant for those going to the mystic realm. Without an invitation, one was not allowed to walk on it.

However, halfway there, he realized that there was a person in front who looked familiar. From the side of his face, he realized it was the waiter from the wine tavern before.
