Chapter 45: The Shock From Jing Ting

On the Ninth Summit.

Jing Ting and Mu Xiu looked at Ao Longyu in surprise.

It was dark. Completely dark.

However, Ao Longyu was still unconscious.

As of now, there was no problem at all.

This…

Somewhat exceeded their expectations.

"Could it be that this array formation can last for a few more days?" Jing Ting asked curiously.

"But Senior Sister Ao seems very calm. If it was like the previous times, it shouldn't be so easy now." Mu Xiu was astonished.

This was different from what they had expected.

"Junior Sister, your attainments in array formations are slightly higher. Do you think there is any difference between this array formation and the ones you used in your previous cultivations?" Jing Ting asked Mu Xiu.

Mu Xiu looked troubled as she shook her head at Jing Ting.

"Our attainments in array formations are not that different.

Senior Brother Jing, you are also aware that only by entering the Bright Deity Array can we clearly sense the details.

Apart from Senior Sister Ao, it's impossible for us to know the exact situation."

Jing Ting and Mu Xiu had already finished drawing their array formation. They could actually cultivate now.

However, they were still concerned about Ao Longyu's condition.

"Forget it, let's cultivate first.

Senior Sister Ao seems fine now," Jing Ting said.

Mu Xiu nodded. That was indeed the case.

They needed to cultivate now as well.

The longer they stayed on the Ninth Summit, the more disadvantageous it was for them.

Therefore, every day was very important.

After one time, there wouldn't be much of an effect if the next time.

Then, the two of them found a spot and were ready to cultivate.

However, they had just sat down when they saw an unexpected change at Ao Longyu's side.

A beam of light suddenly blossomed from Ao Longyu's body.

The light was weak, but it was dazzling in Jing Ting and Mu Xiu's eyes.

They stood up instantly.

They looked at Ao Longyu in shock.

"Senior Brother Jing, what do you think happened to Senior Sister Ao?" Mu Xiu looked at Ao Longyu, appalled.

She seemed to have a guess.

Jing Ting naturally had a guess as well. He said in disbelief,

"Junior Sister must have read the notes left behind by our senior brothers and sisters who came to the Ninth Summit in the past as well.

One of the records said that…

Hundred years of merit, a thousand-year opportunity. In front of the Netherworld Cave is the Radiance of The Deity."

"It can't be, right?

Opportunity and luck are one thing, but what's more important is that our senior brothers and sisters had a rather thorough understanding of array formations.

We know far less about array formations than…"

At this moment, Mu Xiu thought of something and looked at Jing Ting in shock.

"It can't be…"

She thought about what happened in the morning.

She remembered that someone had changed the array formation.

"I don't believe it either." Jing Ting looked bitter.

"But what happened this morning is the most likely reason behind such a change.

We just don't know if this is truly the radiance of the deity.

The array formation will blossom with light as one's spiritual consciousness is conjured. At the moment, Senior Sister Ao does not have such a clear… transformation."

Before he could finish speaking, Jing Ting was rendered speechless.

He saw the light from Ao Longyu's body extending toward the array formation.

The entire array formation bloomed with light at an extremely fast speed. As the light appeared, a dragon's roar was suddenly heard.

A snow-white dragon's shadow condensed beside Ao Longyu.

"It… actually appeared."

Mu Xiu and Jing Ting were in disbelief.

This was the most difficult state that could happen with the Bright Deity Array.

Everything was perfect.

The timing happened just as the auras of heaven and earth matched.

The location was at the Netherworld Cave, tempered on by the Netherworld aura.

The social conditions were right as they had found the most suitable array formation.

It was extremely rare for all three to combine perfectly.

But they had encountered it.

It was because the junior brother of the Ninth Summit had casually pointed out something wrong with the array during the day.

It was unbelievable.

"Don't hesitate. Enter the array."

Jing Ting immediately said.

Mu Xiu naturally understood. Her speed wasn't any slower than Jing Ting's.

They had missed the best opportunity, but it was not too late.

Now, it would just be foolish if they continued to doubt and not believe what was going on..

No matter what, they would wait until after tonight to talk about it.

The Radiance of The Deity could only last for one night.

One night was equivalent to months of their hard work.

Jiang Lan was sent to a specific location on the surface of the lake by the Ancient Wine Daoist.

"Continue walking forward from here as you look at the lake. How far you can walk will depend on yourself.

If you fall into the lake and can't stabilize yourself, you will be brought out.

And your sorry state will be seen."

The Ancient Wine Daoist reminded him as he left.

Jiang Lan naturally agreed.

However, he could sense that they emphasized a lot on strength here.

On the surface, he was only at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to walk far.

It might be fine if one's mental fortitude was ordinary, but if one's talent was ordinary, it would be impossible.

In the Grand Desolate World, whether one became an immortal or not depended mainly on innate potential.

It was not that others could not become immortals. It was just that the journey was more difficult.

When Jiang Lan signed into the system, he received a gift from the Great Dao.

His path had been easier than anyone else's.

However, even with that being the case, he still had to try his best.

With such superior conditions, wouldn't it be a waste not to work hard?

Jiang Lan didn't think too much about it. He took a deep breath and looked at the lake as he walked forward.

There was no reflection in the lake. He could not see himself. He did not know why.

He could only keep walking first.

He was not walking fast, and he was walking very steadily.

He, who did not know much about this place, planned to understand it first.

After walking for a while, Jiang Lan stopped.

He could clearly see his reflection begging to appear on the surface of the lake.

It was very blurry and impossible to see clearly.

The clearer it was, the more uncomfortable he felt. It was as if there was an endless abyss tugging at him.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, he stopped.

He wanted to take a break.

However, just as he stopped, he felt someone at the side.

    If he decides to give up to "not expose himself" I will probably leave this novel, not because it is bad to stand out but because the author is creating meaningless scenarios that are not going to benefit the prota and that is a waste of time for me, another thing that has me unsatisfied is that, how such a stupid, cold and unsympathetic prota is going to develop a good romance? that is why I am reading this.

      Well, MC has his daily rewards option which is better than whatever sort of treasures may be found around. In a way it can be considered as stupid for him to do something elses when he has all that.

      About cold personality - true, but it's also stupid to believe in someone's integrity when there's plot against the same sect disciples and that he's been in danger a lot of times already even just by walking to his home. And also you don't have a full picture as to why someone random is doing something out there. Nor can be sure that you won't get involved too much. You never know the outcome.
      There's some self-preservation techniques in the wild, and hiding and not minding someone else's business is one of those. Not also the best (like where a big group of animals just waits for someone from theirs to be caught by a predator while fleeing away) or hiding, but still. In a way it's like a lion who is strong but can be just shot down with a gun. And it's unlikely to point a gun at some random "rodent" that minds his own business, especially if it is hidden away. If there was something that could've permanently marked someone's killers... who knows.

      And if grouping up then should consider all the others' personal grudges with the rest, their beliefs, wishes etc. It's possible to make a good small group but who knows if there'll be some spy even there. And while there are people attacking at random, you may get involved and suffer even more than if you remained alone and hidden. It's not like you'd always walk together with the rest. And if he joins hands with Ao, for example, he'd become an even bigger target.

      And being loveable - Ao also doesn't show much emotion towards random people. Even towards her close ones she sticks to somewhat cold demeanor. And MC still is quite humble and warm as he doesn't kill pitiful demons randomly and helps with an advice.
