I said you don't acknowledge our immortals?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't acknowledge immortals born innately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan didn't expect Liuyun to be able to round this up, so he just went down the slope and said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suppose so... sorry, hearing that your immortals and gods were born innately, I thought of those Great Luos who were born with the Dao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was me who was biased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan’s eyes glowed with purple Qi, starting from Liuyun, and scanned the immortals present one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli, Ganyu, Xiao, Lishui...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he nodded and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Setting aside cultivation, your own strength is not weak, especially you, fellow Daoist Morax, who in this world, in my view, belongs to the top tier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although it is a blessing from heaven and earth, you are not Great Luos; you don't need to cultivate to be born with the Dao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You paid the price of blood and tears for your current strength. My words just now were rash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Liuyun felt somewhat comfortable in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an ordinary person had said this, Liuyun would have given them a slap without a second word and asked who they thought they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Yan was not only a cultivator at the Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness stage, but he had also raised the status of Shushan and himself to such a level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having him say this, Liuyun was somewhat happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhongli gave a wry smile and shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Top tier? Not necessarily, especially now that I have heard of your cultivation path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is nothing more than Refining Qi to Spirit. In the peak period of Shushan, my age as a cultivator at the Refining Qi to Spirit stage would probably be the most inconspicuous disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan comforted him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no need to belittle yourself so much. As a creature of Teyvat, you naturally have to look at yourself from the perspective of Teyvat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s more, it is just that the upper limit of the world limits you. If you were in my world, you might have already become an immortal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your aptitude, if placed in the peak period of Shushan, would also be among the very good ones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli and the others felt very comfortable hearing this. Liuyun wanted to ask how it compared to Jiang Yan’s aptitude, but after careful consideration, she gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan’s bone age was no more than twenty-something; everyone could see that clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To reach the Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness stage at twenty-something, such aptitude was probably unique throughout the ages, even in Shushan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why would he be taken as a disciple by such a genius master, and why would the Shushan ancestor send him away at the last moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A seed must be the strongest genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all fairness, if Liuyun wanted to take a disciple, they must have excellent talent; Shenhe was proof of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better not to ask such uncomfortable questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone didn't want to talk much about such depressing topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't entirely because of Jiang Yan’s tragic encounter, it was really because...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Luo, Taiyi...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stories of these existences whose levels were too high to imagine would only make one despair for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Zhongli changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you came to Teyvat through the turbulence of time and space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just passed through the turbulence of time and space, and my strength has not yet recovered. I have to thank True Monarch Liuyun, Miss Ganyu, and Miss Shenhe for their care.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't call me True Monarch anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liuyun hurriedly interrupted Jiang Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After hearing what you said, I don't even want to call myself an immortal. Just call me Liuyun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan did not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, what are your plans for the future? If you don't have a place to stay, why not settle in Liyue for a while before considering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli looked at Jiang Yan with some expectation, and Liuyun and the others on the side were also somewhat excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Jiang Yan said could not be verified. If they believed it all, they would have lived in vain for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Yan’s strength was solid, and everyone had witnessed it with their own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was shockingly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the key was that he could continue to cultivate and break through, which was outrageous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jiang Yan was willing to join Liyue, then Liyue would have found a thigh that could overturn the Heavenly Principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he reached the Refining Emptiness to Join the Dao stage, he might be able to take Liyue to fly together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a profitable deal, only a fool wouldn't do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhongli extending an olive branch, Jiang Yan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I am a disciple of Shushan after all. Even if Shushan exists in name only, I cannot give up this identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If even I give up, then Shushan will truly be dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli sipped his tea and didn't say anything more, but his intention to pull Jiang Yan onto the boat never stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was more appropriate for Ganyu to say the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ganyu naturally understood Zhongli’s thoughts and immediately said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not asking you to give up your identity as a Shushan disciple, Jiang Yan. Even if you are very strong, you still need someone to look after you in an unfamiliar place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liyue is the strongest and richest country in Teyvat. If you are willing to join Liyue, you will still be the Sect Leader of Shushan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liyue can provide people and resources to help you rebuild Shushan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ganyu was about to say something else, Jiang Yan raised his hand slightly to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand your good intentions, but this is contrary to my beliefs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s more, I have already thought about what I want to do next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhongli and the others were immediately interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright light shone in Jiang Yan’s eyes, and an unprecedented heat made it clear to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan clenched his fists tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as I am alive, Shushan will not perish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the glory is gone, then I will reshape the glory of Shushan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to... reopen the mountain gate and restore Shushan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>13. A lesson for the people of Teyvat, what is a Great Luo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Jiang Yan’s answer, Zhongli and the others didn't feel surprised; if it were them, they would have the same idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that they still felt a little regretful that they couldn't tie Jiang Yan to Liyue’s chariot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A true cultivator who could grow infinitely, and who was already at the Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness stage, a powerhouse enough to beat the Heavenly Principles...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Liyue already had a good foundation for a relationship with Jiang Yan, so it would be easy to talk later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s more, Jiang Yan wanted to rebuild Shushan, so he couldn't rebuild it alone, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reopening the mountain gate was a must, and when the time came...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they could also experience the abilities of true cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Zhongli was even a little expectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, have you ever thought about revenge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Liuyun asked an inappropriate question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli’s face turned black, and he glared at her fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan was also stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did Liuyun dare to say such a reckless thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that he was just making it up, even if it were really the case. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1294,"2026-06-14T06:26:02.540Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d80d289e769499e159d7d6853066d5f4e77a16cca83d700295d1faa29967dbab","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-17","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-15",924,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgenshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-cover.jpg"]
