Chapter 13

"You said Spirit-Refining and Void-Returning... is this a strength system unique to you immortal cultivators?"

Jiang Yan nods:

"That's right, the strength of immortal cultivators has strict realm level divisions."

"Then Spirit-Refining and Void-Returning is..."

Zhongli asks curiously and looks at Jiang Yan again.

Confirming again, he is indeed ridiculously strong now.

Thinking about it this way...

"You must think that the Spirit-Refining and Void-Returning realm is already very powerful, right?"

Before Zhongli could finish, Jiang Yan said the thoughts in his heart softly.

Zhongli is silent for a moment and nods slightly.

Jiang Yan looks at others, and others do not admit it directly like Zhongli.

But looking at their eyes, obviously they also feel that Jiang Yan now is already very, very strong.

Jiang Yan sighs.

"Before I tell the strength system of immortal cultivators, I have one thing I want to ask."

"How do you Teyvat distinguish each other’s strength levels?"

This question makes everyone stunned.

Strength level distinction in Teyvat?

This...

It seems that there is really no clear and strict regulation.

The elemental power of Teyvat has developed until now, and no one has strictly stipulated what kind of strength is what level.

Everyone talks about it very generally.

Some Vision wielders have strength that can fight with immortals, and even Archons.

For example, the Fatui Harbingers in Snezhnaya.

Even the last one, Tartaglia, wouldn't necessarily lose if he fought with Liuyun and them.

After all, Liuyun and them are not full-time combat immortals.

And those Harbingers in the front seats are said to have strength not weaker than the Seven Archons.

Although Jiang Yan feels that it is a bit absolute.

Fighting with ordinary Seven Archons might be possible, but saying they can compare with a Martial God like Zhongli...

That is a bit exaggerated.

With such subordinates, why would the Cryo Archon have to plan and trade with Zhongli?

But even so, it is enough to see that the strength system of Teyvat does not have strict realm divisions.

Zhongli ponders for a moment, shaking his head:

"Having lived for over six thousand years, I have never heard of any specific strength division in Teyvat."

"If you have to say it, it can basically be divided into Vision wielders, Archon familiars, and Archons."

Jiang Yan laughs and continues:

"Is that so? Then, other things aside, as Archons, who is stronger between you, Morax, and Barbatos next door?"

This time, Zhongli does not answer.

Liuyun smiles proudly, raising her snow-white neck.

"Naturally, it is the Emperor! The Emperor is the longest-lived Archon in the world today, and also the Martial God recognized by the entire Teyvat."

"This title was fought out by the Emperor in the Archon War."

"It is also respected by other Seven Archons."

"Although Barbatos is also a first-generation ruler, he still has no chance of winning in a battle with the Emperor."

Jiang Yan nods slightly, looking at Zhongli.

"So, you are stronger than other Archons, but you are still at the Archon level."

Zhongli is stunned for a moment, finally understanding Jiang Yan’s meaning.

Being an Archon, he, Zhongli, dares to say that he is stronger than all other Archons in the world.

Ei in Inazuma can say that she can beat anyone except Zhongli.

Counting down, some Archons can't even beat some Vision wielders.

Is Archon a realm name or a life form name?

For a while, Zhongli also fell into contemplation.

But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a result, so he simply looked at Jiang Yan:

"How do you immortal cultivators divide it? And how is your Spirit-Refining and Void-Returning realm?"

Jiang Yan’s eyes flash with a smile, saying slowly:

"In the immortal cultivation system, it is generally divided into two levels: human Dao and immortal Dao."

"I just said that humans have the human Dao, and immortals have the immortal Dao."

"The human stage has the realm of the human stage, and the immortal has the realm of the immortal."

"And Spirit-Refining and Void-Returning is just one of the realms in the human stage, and it is not the last realm."

As he speaks, Jiang Yan becomes interested.

"The immortal cultivation system actually has many different realm division names, but overall, the direction is consistent."

"Therefore, we adopt the most minimalist realm division."

"From the human stage to the immortal stage, there are four major realms."

"Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into void, refining void into Dao."

"After surviving the refining void into Dao stage, one can prepare to cross the tribulation and ascend to become an immortal."

"I am now just a cultivator in the late stage of refining spirit into void."

Zhongli remains silent, although he knows that the immortal cultivation system is more rigorous, and even the upper limit is unimaginable.

But he really didn't expect that with Jiang Yan’s current power manifestation, he is still one major realm away from ascending to become an immortal.

If Jiang Yan is only refining spirit into void, then he...

"Late stage of refining qi into spirit."

Before Zhongli could ask, Jiang Yan answered in advance.

Zhongli is stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Yan with some surprise.

"Can you read my mind?"

"For now, I don't have this ability, and even if I did, I wouldn't read minds casually."

Jiang Yan shakes his head and chuckles:

"In fact, it’s just that your thoughts are too obvious."

Zhongli does not refute and asks again:

"Counting into your immortal cultivation system, I am only in the late stage of refining qi into spirit? Then the Heavenly Principles..."

"I haven't seen her."

Jiang Yan says softly:

"However, according to your description, she should be in the realm of refining spirit into void; I am not clear whether it is the early or middle stage."

"Why not the late stage?"

Ganyu asks, and Jiang Yan smiles without saying a word, just looking up casually.

If the Heavenly Principles were in the late stage of refining spirit into void...

It wouldn't be her hiding from things outside, but actively looking for trouble.

It seems to be only a small realm away, but in fact, in this kind of immortal cultivation system, even a genius can't do cross-level fighting.

At most, it is cross-level life-saving.

A tiny gap is huge.

"If I am in the late stage of refining qi into spirit, then..."

"In my opinion, Archons are basically in this stage of refining qi into spirit."

Jiang Yan looks at Xiao and says softly:

"Like the Yaksha, in my eyes, he should be at the peak of refining essence into qi. The strength of the Yaksha should be very close to an Archon, right?"
