211: Nine-fold perfection of the Infant Transformation

Half an hour later, Jiang Lan emerged from the prison cell.

At this moment, his Lifespan had increased from one year, when he first entered the cell, to eleven thousand six hundred and fifty-four years.

Jiang Lan had figured out that from the Mortal Shedding Realm onwards, the System’s Lifespan rewards had a minimum.

Generally, it was two thousand years to start, with only a very few who had just entered Mortal Shedding, or those with truly low Realms, receiving a Lifespan of just over a thousand years.

When Jiang Lan first entered Mortal Shedding, the Lifespan he gained from killing Mortal Shedding Demons was considerably more than what he received now.

For instance, the Spider Demon he killed at the entrance of the place where Jiang Lan obtained the ten thousand demons token previously, provided him with over four thousand years of Lifespan.

Yet, that Spider Demon was only at the Mortal Shedding Fifth Stage.

But even so, Jiang Lan was already very satisfied.

After all, killing a Mortal Shedding expert now was no more difficult for him than stepping on an ant by the roadside.

Gaining over two thousand years of Lifespan just by stepping on an ant—such a good thing couldn't be found even with a lantern.

What more could he ask for?

Jiang Lan returned to the front of the main hall, feeling refreshed and looking radiant.

Seeing Jiang Lan return, Cui Yushan and the others all stood up to greet him.

Jiang Lan waved his hand.

“You’ve done well, you can all disperse.”

He had returned simply to tell them they were off duty.

After all, the time was almost up, and the day's tasks were completed, so Jiang Lan had no need to remain there.

The several people were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then they all responded:

“Yes, Sir!”

Jiang Lan paid them no further mind, left the Law Enforcement Hall, and walked towards his residence.

With over ten thousand years of Lifespan in hand, he would first max out his Realm.

Currently, his Realm was at Nascent Soul Eighth Stage, and he only needed three to four thousand years to reach the Ninth Stage; even if he advanced to the Transformation Infant Peak, ten thousand years would certainly be enough.

This way, he would only need to find a Cultivation Technique that could elevate his Realm to Soul Transformation.

Before long, Jiang Lan returned to his residence.

Wang Erniu came out to greet him as usual.

After telling Wang Erniu to go back, Jiang Lan walked directly to his bedroom upstairs.

Upon entering the bedroom, Jiang Lan sat cross-legged on a chair.

Before him, a virtual light screen appeared.

Jiang Lan glanced at it, then softly said:

“Add Realm to Nascent Soul Ninth Stage Peak.”

Text instantly appeared.

[Year One, you began to Cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.]

[Year Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-Two, after your long period of Cultivation and accumulation, your Realm successfully advanced to Demon Infant Ninth Stage.]

[Year Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-Three, you continued to Cultivate, seeking to achieve the Perfection Realm of Demon Infant.]

[Year Six Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty, your Cultivation speed increased day by day, and you felt you were already more than halfway to Perfection.]

[Year Eight Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-Three, congratulations, through your unremitting efforts, your Realm has finally advanced to Demon Infant Ninth Stage Perfection, just one step away from Breaking Through to Soul Transformation!]

As the System's text scrolled, Jiang Lan's Aura continuously rose.

During the Breakthrough process, Jiang Lan only felt that the power throughout his body was almost inexhaustible, and as his blood Qi surged, it emitted roars like Dragons and tigers.

At the same time, the Spiritual Qi in this area was being frantically absorbed by Jiang Lan.

All of this was the change that entering Nascent Soul Perfection brought to Jiang Lan.

The System text disappeared, and Jiang Lan closed his eyes for a long while before suddenly opening them.

A ray of divine light, almost corporeal, shot out from Jiang Lan's eyes.

“Hoo...”

He exhaled a long breath.

Fast, too fast.

From his Breakthrough to now, it had been a mere two days at most.

Originally, Jiang Lan thought that reaching Transformation Infant Peak would require some time, not to mention overcoming numerous difficulties.

He hadn't expected to only use two days.

This speed of advancement, even Jiang Lan himself felt a sense of unreality.

He looked up at his section on the light screen... [Name: Jiang Lan]

[Cultivation: Nascent Soul Ninth Stage (Perfection)]

[Cultivation Technique: Golden Essence Spirit Cultivation Art, Solar True Yang Art, Kun Peng Demon Scripture, Devouring Heaven Demon Art]

[Martial Skill: Blazing Sun Demon Suppression Blade (Return to Simplicity), Flood Dragon Swim (Return to Simplicity), Hidden God Art (Return to Simplicity), Shadow Blade Art (Return to Simplicity)]

[Divine Ability: 72 Transformations of Di Sha (Perfection)]

[Remaining Lifespan: Three thousand four hundred and ninety-one years.]

[Can inject Lifespan into Cultivation Techniques and skills to enhance strength.]

[Can increase Lifespan by suppressing or slaying Demons.]

...Looking at the Realm displayed above, Jiang Lan was very satisfied.

Good, good, good.

This Luan Mo Region truly was a treasure land.

As Jiang Lan was pondering, his ears suddenly twitched.

He heard someone speaking at the entrance downstairs.

With Jiang Lan's current Realm, his five senses could only be described as terrifying.

Even if a mosquito flew three miles away, Jiang Lan could capture the sound of its wings vibrating.

However, normally, Jiang Lan would filter out all those miscellaneous noises.

Otherwise, constantly listening to noise would likely lead to mental problems in not too long a time.

“Alliance Leader has invited you.”

“Please wait, I will go inform him now.”

Jiang Lan recognized that the voice saying the Alliance Leader had invited him belonged to Feng Yao's personal butler.

His eyes lit up.

Although he didn't know why Feng Yao was looking for him, this was a good opportunity for him to inquire about Cultivation Techniques.

He and his elder brother had already sworn brotherhood, and if Feng Yao knew, he certainly wouldn't hide it from him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan immediately rose from his chair and pushed open the door to go downstairs.

As soon as he stepped out, Jiang Lan saw a guard hurrying upstairs.

Seeing Jiang Lan, he quickly opened his mouth, seemingly about to say something.

However, before he could speak, Jiang Lan waved his hand, interrupting what he was about to say:

“I know.”

With his words blocked, the guard was clearly a bit uncomfortable.

After a moment of dazed, he nodded and said:

“Yes!”

Walking downstairs, Jiang Lan saw Feng Yao's butler.

The old man first bowed to Jiang Lan, then said:

“Wolf Hall Master, you have come out.”

“Mm.” Jiang Lan nodded faintly, then continued to ask, “Why does the Alliance Leader seek me?”

“This... this old man also does not know, Hall Master, you just follow me.”

Jiang Lan did not press further.

He had only asked to see if the butler knew anything, so he could prepare in advance.

But it didn't matter if he didn't know.

“Lead the way.”

With the butler in front and Jiang Lan behind, they walked for less than half a cup of tea's time before arriving at the entrance of the Luan Yao Alliance.

At this time, there were no other people in the main hall on the first floor.

Those present were all Demons around Feng Yao.

After entering, the old butler said:

“Wolf Hall Master, please, the Alliance Leader is waiting for you upstairs.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Lan nodded.

Having been here once before, Jiang Lan was familiar with the way and went straight to the top floor.
