My Girlfriend From Turquoise Pond Requests My Help After My Millennium Seclusion

Chapter 129: Trying to Become An Immortal

Halfway there, Jiang Lan saw that Xiao Yu had disappeared.

It didn’t bother him.

As they had seen different things from the start, they might have gone to different places.

“This place is indeed different.”

However, he was a little curious. He had already been there the last time. Would it be different this time?

Soon, Jiang Lan approached the willow tree.

But as he approached, he felt something very subtle.

It was as if he had suddenly entered the void. The tree in front of him seemed very close, yet very far away at the same time.

Jiang Lan calmly looked ahead. He didn’t question his own feelings. Instead, he continued walking towards the willow tree.

He walked forward step by step. However, he did not see himself getting nearer to the willow tree.

Although he was a little surprised, Jiang Lan still approached step by step.

He was not in a hurry. He just walked steadily on the road.

He felt as if he had walked for an hour, but he still did not get any closer.

Two hours.

Twelve hours.

One day.

When Jiang Lan felt that he had walked for an entire day, he discovered that his surroundings had started to turn pitch black. As time passed, the willow tree had also turned into a door.

At this moment, he had a feeling that as long as he managed to reach the door, it would be much easier when it was time for him to advance to immortality.

This was the main reason why his master wanted him to come. He could try to break through here.

The innkeeper was indeed extraordinary.

This opportunity could not be sought out. He did not waste it and walked towards the willow tree.

He wanted to become an immortal.

The further he went, the more Jiang Lan felt as if his surroundings were replaced by nothingness, covered by darkness.

It was as if there was a bottomless abyss ahead.

The path to immortality had always been a bottomless abyss from the start.

However, once overcame it, it would be a wide and open road.

Jiang Lan advanced step by step. The road ahead was filled with countless tribulations and endless twists and turns.

He wasn’t afraid of calamity, nor was he afraid of darkness. He didn’t care about right or wrong. He pressed forward with fortitude.

The immortal gate was right in front of him.

Why would he give up?

Even if he couldn’t see it, even if there was a great distance between them.

It was still worth it for him to walk step by step to the end.

His steps became faster and faster. A light began to appear on his body. It was his conviction.

He cut off the thistles and thorns on the road and broke through all the obstacles. His conviction transformed into a stream of light that pursued the immortal path.

The void seemed to be illuminated by him.

He gave it his all.

After some time.

Perhaps a day, ten days, or even a month.

Finally, Jiang Lan opened his eyes.

He was still looking at the field, but the sun was already setting.

The light of the setting sun fell on his body, making him feel somewhat desolate.

He… had failed.

He did not relax in the slightest, nor did he feel any fear.

In the face of the immortal gate, he had collapsed from exhaustion.

It was too hard.

“Junior Brother?” Suddenly, Xiao Yu’s voice rang out.

Jiang Lan looked to the side and found Xiao Yu standing beside him. To his surprise, Xiao Yu seemed to have changed her clothes.

Previously, she was wearing a blue and white outfit. Now, she was wearing an orange and white outfit with white boots and a high ponytail.

“Do you want some?” Xiao Yu took out a peanut and asked. “Boss only gave me one.”

Jiang Lan took the peanut and said softly.

“Thank you, Senior Sister.”

“Boss said that we can go back once we wake up,” Xiao Yu explained.

“How long has it been?” Jiang Lan finally asked.

Since Xiao Yu had already changed her clothes, he naturally knew that she must have went back at least once.

“Seven days.” Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully.

“Many thanks, Senior Sister.” Jiang Lan wasn’t thanking Xiao Yu for telling him the time.

It was for another matter.

Then, Jiang Lan left to bid farewell to the innkeeper.

Looking at Jiang Lan’s back view, Xiao Yu whispered softly.

“Is it that difficult for him to advance?”

It was indeed not that easy to advance to the Essence Soul Realm, but she could feel that the innkeeper’s opportunity here was very special.

If she had come here when she advanced to the Essence Soul Realm back then, it would have been very easy.

But…

In the end, Xiao Yu did not say anything and just followed Jiang Lan.

She couldn’t understand Jiang Lan.

Under his calm gaze, no one knew what he was thinking.

Lost?

Or disappointment?

Jiang Lan was very calm.

He had failed. However, this was expected.

But he still had hope.

“Looks like I need to make more preparations in the future.”

Jiang Lan thought to himself. He had failed in his search for the immortality gate. However, he managed to gain some experience.

Give up?

He would never give up, no matter how difficult it was.

“If I can’t obtain the Great Dao’s gift that I need after reaching the perfected Void Refinement Realm, I’ll have to explore other places in Kunlun.”

He had no other choice.

When he bade farewell to the innkeeper, he learned that the youth was about to come out of seclusion.

However, he did not see him. After today, it would be quite a while before he could see the youth again.

This time, after he finished his lessons, he would go into seclusion.

But this time, he bought another bottle of good wine.

Roar!

Jiang Lan, who was walking on the road, suddenly heard a dragon roar, followed by a tremendous pressure.

It was the aura of a dragon.

When he looked up, he saw two huge dragons flying over from the sky.

They were much stronger than Ao Ye from before.

Dragon King?

He wasn’t sure.

“Ao Yi of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, Dragon King’s younger brother.” Xiao Yu’s voice sounded beside Jiang Lan.

“I heard it was him.

They’re probably here to discuss something important. ”

“Senior Sister knows a lot.” Jiang Lan lowered his head to look.

He did not understand why Xiao Yu did not return on her sword today.

However, he quickly understood that if she were to fly on her sword, she was just looking for trouble with the Dragon Race.

“It’s Junior Brother who knows too little,” Xiao Yu said softly as she walked.

“Junior Brother is going into seclusion this time?”

“En, I shall advance to the Essence Soul Realm first.” Jiang Lan nodded.

He really needed to advance to the Essence Soul Realm first.

He had failed in finding the gates of immortality using the inn’s fortuitous opportunity, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t advance to the Essence Soul Realm on the surface.

Furthermore, he had actually obtained the fortuitous opportunity. It was just that it seemed that he had failed.

Both Xiao Yu and the innkeeper could tell.

After advancing to the Essence Soul Realm, he had to learn about array formations and the Dragon Slaying Sword. He hoped that it wouldn’t take too much time.

“Does Junior Brother usually spend 30 to 50 years in seclusion?”

“Pretty much.”

“Aren’t you bored?”

“It’s not boring.”

Just as Jiang Lan was about to reach the Ninth Summit, Xiao Yu handed over a book.

“I’ll give this to you as a gift for your guidance at the inn.”

Jiang Lan took the book and discovered that it was a detailed insight into the advancement to the Essence Soul Realm.

“Thank you, Senior Sister.”

Although it was useless, he still accepted it.

Guidance depended on one’s mood. Xiao Yu’s guidance also depended on her mood.

After that, Jiang Lan didn’t say anything else and returned to the Ninth Summit.

From now on, he would not leave until he had become an immortal.

Hopefully, no one would bother him.

But there should be.

Today, the Dragon Race had come to Kunlun to discuss about the marriage alliance. Once it was confirmed, he might have to make a trip to the main hall.

This matter affected him greatly.

Seeing Jiang Lan return, Xiao Yu rode her sword towards the Third Summit.

Today, someone from the Dragon Race had come. She wanted to ask about the details.

Also, she wanted to ask about the Dragon Slaying Sword. Her master should be able to clear her doubts.

“Xiao Yu, is the marriage alliance pressuring you so much that you want to commit suicide?”

This was what Zhu Qing had asked Xiao Yu after Xiao Yu had asked her about the Dragon Slaying Sword.
