Why did you stick a sword into your stomach! That’s too dangerous! Wait, where is the sword?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, looking at Ganyu and the others in surprise, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You people in Teyvat... don't you know about the dantian?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dantian?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ganyu shook her head, looking blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is... where do you usually store your energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ganyu thought for a moment and pointed to her Vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's an ordinary Vision wielder, power is stored in the Vision, but for us immortals, our immortal power is basically in our souls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was Jiang Yan’s turn to be shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stored in an external object? Doesn't that mean if the Vision disappears, the ability disappears too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ganyu thought for a moment and gave Jiang Yan a definitive answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan pursed his lips, ultimately not continuing to question the traditions of Teyvat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just moved past the topic and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A cultivator’s true essence is basically stored in the dantian. The dantian is the most important place for a cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The dantian is not like a Vision, nor is it like your immortal power in the soul. The dantian is inside the body; it is an organ that everyone is born with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The wider the dantian, the more power it can contain, and correspondingly, the person can be stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the dantian is destroyed, the cultivator becomes a cripple, but because of this, the defense at the dantian is the strongest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For a cultivator, any attack that dares to target the opponent’s dantian will be seen as a fight to the death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some extreme ones will even slaughter the opponent’s entire clan. On the path of cultivation, killing and bloodshed are always unavoidable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After roughly explaining the importance of the dantian, Jiang Yan continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just now, I stored the Primordial Jade Cutter in my dantian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Firstly, it is convenient to store and retrieve, and secondly, I can use my true essence to nourish the Primordial Jade Cutter so that it can be re-forged in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there is any very powerful magic treasure, cultivators will generally put it into their dantian as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This way, they can borrow the protection of the magic treasure, and even use it to help expand the dantian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, do you not know about the dantian either?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan looked at Zhongli, puzzled. It was one thing for others not to know, but for Zhongli not to know? That didn't make sense, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had lived for so long, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Zhongli coughed in slight embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am indeed unaware... but now, I do know where my divine power is basically stored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan gave a polite but not awkward smile and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s get back to the point. You should have all seen the ability I demonstrated just now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, Ganyu raised her hand excitedly, looking expectant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is one ability you haven't demonstrated! It was that magical divine sword that controlled lightning during the tribulation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Yan, is that your weapon? But I didn't detect any elemental energy from it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what kind of lightning is golden?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that Ganyu was very excited, having said so much in one breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan shook his head with a smile and said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is not my weapon. In fact, it is similar to the Sword Control Art I demonstrated earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is also one of my spells, called the Divine Sword Art of Controlling Thunder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guessed right; the Divine Sword Art of Controlling Thunder does not involve elemental energy. It is a move that controls heaven and earth, creating something from nothing to defeat the enemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And all these abilities you see me using are, in the final analysis, just spells of a cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>9. I am the Sect Leader of Shushan, a cultivator who has reached the state of Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli and the others understood the concept of spells; immortals also knew many magical spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that most of them involved elemental energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in real combat, spells were basically not used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elemental Skills...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they considered spells?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in any case, spells born purely for combat like Jiang Yan’s were rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should be that they didn't exist at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan saw the thoughts of Zhongli and the others and explained softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have said it before: while cultivators pursue eternal life, they also pursue power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the combat capabilities of cultivators are actually divided very meticulously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like what I just did, that is the most basic spell. Above that, there are divine abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Jiang Yan once again manipulated the Five Elements Spells, just as the elemental energy had appeared before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Jiang Yan gently stretched his hand out under everyone’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden light turned into water dew, water dew condensed into grass and trees, grass and trees burned into flames, flames decayed into soil...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the soil bloomed with golden light again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli was somewhat enlightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Five Elements generate and overcome each other. This is the most basic rule between heaven and earth, and it is also the spell that cultivators must master: the Five Elements Curse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elements changing in his hand stopped at the flame. Jiang Yan flicked his finger, and this wisp of flame, like a swimming fish, snaked and stuck to a large tree not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, everyone was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large tree wrapped in flames did not burn at all, remaining as green as if it were alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan gave a light laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Five Elements Curse is not elemental energy. Therefore, when the Five Elements Curse is perfected, the elements produced will not be like the elemental energy you manipulate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One thought to create, one thought to extinguish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan said softly, and with a thought, the flames became more surging, completely enveloping the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the tree grew more vigorously under these raging flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for confirming that this tree was an ordinary tree, Zhongli would have thought that a Pyro Regisvine had moved here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The flames you see are not elements, but my true essence, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True essence has infinite wonderful uses, for example...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, the large tree that was still growing vigorously turned into ashes in an instant. ===== CHAPTER 15 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1288,"2026-06-14T06:26:02.540Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ca3e482c26e4156bb989a65ed668b4cb3e8463c7cd5c24818a0eecf13aa82f84","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-12","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-10",924,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgenshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-cover.jpg"]
