Let Elder Alice come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Snow Hou and the Fire Qilin Beast are sworn enemies! Killing it with fire-attribute techniques might divert their attention!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhongli stopped immediately and looked at Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Demon seemed to have heard some grand joke and looked up to the sky, laughing loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder? A mere female cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good, good. The grand Shushan Sword Sect, a giant of the immortal cultivation world, has actually fallen to the point where a mere late-stage Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation cultivator serves as an Elder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The King was right! Shushan’s glory is truly gone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It makes me laugh! To hear such news before I die is enough to satisfy me for a lifetime!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Demon laughed weakly a few times, then looked coldly at Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to use my death to provoke the King and that trash Fire Qilin into a war? Ridiculous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would rather die than frame the King!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shushan disciples, let us go to the Yellow Springs together!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An extreme sense of crisis surged from the Great Demon, and the sound of its heartbeat reached everyone's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned for a moment; although they didn't know what was happening, it clearly wasn't good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan’s divine sense appeared instantly, and he said in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run! It’s going to self-destruct!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, everyone was terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venti was the fastest; he whipped up a gust of wind and, risking his life, carried everyone away in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli, still feeling unsatisfied, pulled out a flying sword and used it to strike deep into the Great Demon’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group had just escaped several tens of thousands of meters when a violent explosion erupted behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surging power turned into a shockwave that swept away everything; the indestructible tall trees were wiped out in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Violent spiritual energy pushed toward them. Seeing they couldn't escape, the three of them combined their efforts to build a True Essence shield and held their ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all, it was the self-destruction of a Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation Great Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they were late-stage Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation cultivators, caught off guard, they were still blown away for tens of thousands of meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, the dust finally settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningguang and the others looked back at the center of the explosion with lingering fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a radius of several hundred kilometers, everything had been reduced to ashes, leaving only a huge, bottomless crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All signs of life had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time everyone had perceived the terror of a Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A self-destruction had actually leveled such a large area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were in Teyvat, half of Liyue would likely be gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was only at the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still ran too slowly. It seems I need to learn an escape technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venti sighed. The Great Demon’s self-destruction had only caused his True Essence to fluctuate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was only the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been the middle stage, he would likely be seriously injured now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a terrifying immortal cultivation world... what is this nonsense about self-destructing at the slightest disagreement!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Venti complained unhappily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli looked angrily in the direction of the Great Demon’s self-destruction. Zhongli cared deeply about the Great Demon constantly insulting Mo Yixi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was my mistake. I fell for the demonic beast’s provocation. I should have acted faster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongli sighed, and Alice shook her head, comforting him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We didn't expect the opponent to self-destruct either. Just be more careful next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice also felt some self-reproach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having read many immortal cultivation novels, she naturally knew about the ultimate move of self-destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just now, immersed in a real battle in the immortal cultivation world, she had forgotten about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly inexcusable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity, the body of a Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation Great Demon should be very valuable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cloud Retainer clicked her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Jiang Yan said in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you should be considering now is not whether it's valuable or reflecting on your mistakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before the three-headed demon bird self-destructed, it was stalling for time to send a message to the Snow Hou. Moreover, the commotion of the self-destruction has attracted more demonic beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't run now, your expedition this time will be forced to end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone was shocked, only then remembering that the opponent had also contacted the Snow Hou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, they couldn't care about checking their status or looking at the spirit fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They threw Ten Thousand Mile God-Travel Talismans onto Venti without hesitation, and Venti risked his life to carry everyone away at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After running for a full several hundred thousand meters, Venti finally stopped, looking somewhat exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sect Master, at this distance... should... should be enough, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan did not reply. After a long while, he said faintly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You had better pray that the Snow Hou won't detect your tracks and pursue you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, at this distance... no matter how far you run, it's useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, everyone was worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This exploration of the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm to find spirit fruit had been a failure at every turn, full of loopholes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, everyone’s mood was a bit low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems we are still too naive, thinking of the immortal cultivation world too simply. This exploration was full of mistakes; it is our problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have disgraced Shushan. I am sorry, Sect Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningguang lowered her head in shame, not daring to look directly at Jiang Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't matter. You have only just begun immortal cultivation, so it is reasonable that you don't understand the situation in the immortal cultivation world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan shook his head and comforted them softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The immortal cultivation world is full of disputes, and there are countless methods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be cautious in the future, especially in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm, where demons run rampant; it is truly an extremely dangerous place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, you don't know much about demonic beasts. In the next lecture, I will focus on telling you about the demons and monsters in the immortal cultivation world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you come to explore again in the future, you will be able to recognize many of them yourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After you are safe, you can summarize the mistakes made in collecting the spirit fruit this time. Many low-level errors should not have been committed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The most important point is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan paused and said helplessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dealing with common demonic beasts is one thing, but in the future, you will inevitably have to explore the true world of cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must abandon all womanly benevolence; when killing an enemy, you must ensure their soul is also extinguished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>0 (Requesting flowers)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at Jiang Yan with difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Venti said hesitantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sect Master, isn't that a bit vicious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vicious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The immortal cultivation world has always been like this. If you don't destroy them, they will destroy your souls when they kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the immortal cultivation world, you cannot judge whether an enemy has a massive power background behind them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't eliminate them completely, the forces behind them will come to investigate, and if you are not careful, you will be hunted down by an entire faction.\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-06-14T06:26:02.540Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e7bff72c3dfdb478f2057e6ae1340b417d315111a8e30180aa682bc4a670ac2e","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-173","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-171",924,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgenshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-cover.jpg"]
