Ao Longyu stood beside the Jade Pool. Several decades had pa.s.sed.

She had successfully entered the mid-stage Essence Soul Realm.

She had walked ahead of most of them.

However, she suddenly thought of something recently.

That was why she went to find her Junior Sister.

She sat there waiting for her Junior Sister to arrive.

She knew of the Witchcloud Gathering. If it was any other time, she would definitely attend it. However, she could not go now.

She was still unable to leave the Jade Pool.

This was the price.

The price of becoming the Jade Pool G.o.ddess.

But it was indeed the fastest way to become stronger.

The resources all over Kunlun might not even be as abundant as the Jade Pool's, and her cultivation speed seemed to have grown wings here.

“Senior Sister, I can't enter.”

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

Ao Longyu rose to her feet and walked toward the edge of the mountain.

She moved her hands, as if she was opening up a normal path for the people who came over so that the people outside could enter.

Soon, Lin Siya flew in on her sword. She looked a little disheveled.

“Senior Sister, staying here seems to cause me to encounter problems easily.” Lin Siya didn't dare to go to the Jade Pool.

She could only stay at the edge of her sword.

“It's indeed a little troublesome. Junior Sister, are you going to the Witchcloud Gathering?” Ao Longyu nodded slightly before asking.

“No, I have to go into seclusion to advance to the Essence Soul Realm in the next two days. I can only go next time.” Lin Siya looked at Ao Longyu curiously. “Senior Sister, did you miss me?”

She was suddenly called here.

Ao Longyu looked at Lin Siya. She felt that this Junior Sister of hers had always been very friendly.

She didn't hate it because this Junior Sister's character was likable.

“I want to ask you something.” Ao Longyu looked at Lin Siya and said. “I remember that Junior Sister used a recording tool to record the process of me coming out of the water previously, right?”

When Lin Siya heard this, she was stunned.

“I just… just recorded it for fun.” Lin Siya felt a little guilty.

“I know.” Ao Longyu looked at Lin Siya, her voice as calm as ever. “Can I have the recording tool?”

Lin Siya did not dare to look at Ao Longyu. She whispered. “I have lost it.”

Ao Longyu: “…”

“I… I'm trying to find it now.” Lin Siya immediately said. “I've already found who took it. I'll be taking it back in a few days.”

“Who has it?” asked Ao Longyu.

“I heard it was at Senior Sister Cilin's place last time. I'll go look for her these few days,” said Lin Siya. Then, she asked curiously.

“Senior Sister didn't care about that Dharma treasure before. Why did you suddenly want to find it back?”

The recording tool had recorded Senior Sister Ao's dragon body, not her naked body.

Ao Longyu lowered her brows and remained silent.

She was no longer a child.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, there was nothing wrong with showing his dragon body in front of others. However, she kept having the feeling that she was being spied upon by others recently.

She had felt uncomfortable.

That was why she wanted it back.

“Would someone have taken a look at what's recorded?” asked Ao Longyu.

“If it's seen, it will be shown. Currently, it's still sealed. I've never heard of anyone activating it,” Lin Siya said immediately.

It seems that after so many years, Senior Sister had begun to care about some things.

But just like before, she was still expressionless.

Ao Longyu nodded. It would be best if no one had seen that scene.

Although it was nothing much to look at, she felt more comfortable if no one had seen it.

Jiang Lan then returned to the Netherworld Cave.

He was not in a hurry to sign in. Instead, he watered the vegetative egg.

All these years, he had not forgotten to water spirit liquid onto the vegetative egg.

However, a hundred years had pa.s.sed. This vegetative egg shouldn't be able to hatch anymore.

Even an ordinary tree would have gained sentience after being watered with spirit liquid for a hundred years. But this vegetative egg had no reaction at all.

“Looks like it's really just a vegetative egg.”

What was a vegetative egg?

It meant that it was like a vegetative person.

Of course, Jiang Lan didn't mind. He wanted to continue raising it.

After raising it for a hundred years, he was already used to it.

After settling these matters, Jiang Lan sat down cross-legged.

“System, I shall sign in here.”

It was time to see if he would get something good after he didn't sign it for ten years.

[Ding!]

[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the gift of the Great Dao. You have obtained the Superior Spell, Power of Nine Tribulations.]

[Power of Nine Tribulations: A superior spell technique that's an upgraded version of the Power of Nine Bulls. This is an immortal spell. Only those possessing the divine power Spiritual Suppression Force and the Power of Nine Bulls can learn this spell.]

Jiang Lan was surprised to see the Power Of Nine Tribulations.

This spell technique was not something he could cultivate.

And he had tried but realized he couldn't learn it.

He had to fully master the Power of Nine Bulls first.

And the true introduction of the Power Of Nine Tribulations had yet to appear.

But how did these Nine Bulls ascend to become Nine Tribulations?

“Is this bull very powerful? What kind of bull is it?”

After that, Jiang Lan stopped thinking about it. When he finished learning the Power of Nine Bulls, he would know the specifics.

However, it could be seen that after not signing in for ten years, he was able to gain something good.

However, things like the Creation Pill were indeed difficult to obtain.

Jiang Lan shook his head and focused his mind.

He was not in a hurry to advance now. Cultivation did not necessarily mean that one had to increase one's cultivation level.

Familiarizing oneself with one's current realm and making one's spell and techniques stronger were also part of cultivation.

They were all equally important.

He had to stay at the Void Refinement Realm for a very long time, so he had to familiarize himself with this cultivation base so that he could unleash his most powerful spell techniques.

This was the only way to deal with sudden changes.

Even if there were no unforeseen circ.u.mstances, he had to be prepared for them.

Danger would not wait for anyone.

Nor would it give him time to react when it came.

Currently, the most important matter at hand was naturally mastering the Power of Nine Bulls.

After advancing to the Void Refinement Realm, the Power of Nine Bulls should be able to easily advance from the power of seven bulls to the power of eight bulls.

He could also attempt to reach the ninth step from the eighth step for his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel.

He also had to familiarize himself with his other spells, techniques and artifacts.

Jiang Lan spent three days familiarizing himself with the Power of Nine Bulls. Although he had yet to enter the power of the eight bulls immediately, the power of the seven bulls was already ridiculously strong.

He felt like he could fight against Void Refinement mighty figures.

When he mastered the Power of Nine Bulls, he wondered if he would be able to fight against immortals.

Probably not.

He just didn't know if he could directly learn the Power of Nine Tribulations.
