Chapter 205

But for Shushan, which had stirred up the entire Teyvat storm, these were not even worth mentioning.

At this time, it was already late.

Zhongli and the others had each returned to their own mountain peaks to heal and consolidate resources.

Today was not a suitable day to go to the Merit Hall to exchange for items.

Ningguang and the others had also temporarily left the Shushan Blessed Land.

The cold moon rose above the peak of Shushan.

The scattered silver glow revealed the moon platform once again.

Ganyu walked out, timing it perfectly, but when she looked up, she did not see Jiang Yan's figure.

Only the Azure Bird flashed past hurriedly before disappearing into the distance.

This little fellow had been flying all afternoon and still hadn't had enough; it really seemed to have been stifled.

Ganyu withdrew her gaze, and thinking of Jiang Yan's preoccupied appearance in the afternoon, she couldn't help but feel worried for him.

After much deliberation, she still walked toward the top of Tongtian Peak.

At this moment, Jiang Yan was sitting upright in the sect's main hall, eyes closed and legs crossed.

He was not cultivating, but merely thinking about the news he had received from the Azure Wind Ox in the afternoon.

The Azure Wind Ox didn't know much, after all, it had been trapped in the Nine Nether for ten thousand years.

It had only learned some news about the cultivation world from Shushan disciples, most of which could match the information in the jade talisman.

What concerned Jiang Yan the most was what the Azure Wind Ox said at the end about the four great disciples of the Tongtian Peak sect leader's lineage back then.

The eldest brother Mei Qing, the second brother Sang Xiang, the third sister Hua Yuan, and finally the youngest junior brother...

Jiang Yan!

The four great personal disciples of the sect leader were peerless geniuses of the cultivation world back then.

Among them, the sect leader's last disciple, Jiang Yan, was the most talented.

He ascended to the realm of Refining Spirit and Returning to Void before the age of one hundred.

It shocked the entire cultivation world, and even the Taiyi Ancestor from the upper realm personally descended with his divine soul to investigate.

Because of this, his divine soul was even injured.

Back then, the four great personal disciples suppressed the cultivation world, leaving all geniuses breathless.

But later, the entire cultivation world seemed to have been severely damaged, and only the Nine Nether Secret Realm was preserved by some unknown method.

The Azure Wind Ox had vaguely sensed the commotion at that time.

This information was so vast that it made Jiang Yan doubt the reality of his own twenty-plus years for a moment.

Jiang Yan couldn't make up his mind.

His state of mind, which had always been cultivated through the *Huangting Yujing Scripture*, was also somewhat unstable.

"Sect Leader?"

Suddenly, Ganyu's soft voice awakened Jiang Yan. He opened his eyes slowly to see Ganyu looking at him cautiously from the doorway.

"Ganyu..."

Jiang Yan temporarily put aside his thoughts and beckoned, saying:

"I've said it before, just call me by my name when no one is around."

Jiang Yan smiled, looked at Ganyu sitting in front of him, and said softly:

"Sorry, I have some things to attend to today, I cannot lecture on the Dao for you."

Ganyu shook her head.

"It's okay, I didn't come for that."

As she spoke, Ganyu pursed her lips and said softly:

"Jiang Yan, do you have something on your mind? In the afternoon, I saw that you were not quite yourself..."

Jiang Yan was silent for a moment, his gaze looking at the moonlight outside the main hall.

"It's nothing... just for a moment... I couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion."

Ganyu tilted her head and looked at Jiang Yan blankly, not knowing what he meant.

After thinking for a while, Ganyu said softly:

"Although I don't know what you are worried about, but..."

"If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it, right?"

"You once said that cultivation is a journey full of unknowns; if you knew where the future was from the beginning, it would be meaningless."

"So... just keep moving forward."

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly.

"I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would be lectured by you, Ganyu..."

"I was just speaking from the heart!"

Ganyu shook her head, feeling a bit shy.

Jiang Yan stood up and walked toward the door.

There were indeed many doubts here, but there was no need to know too much.

As long as one continues to move forward, all questions will have an answer one day.

Problems are not solved by persistent pursuit, but by sudden enlightenment on a certain day, where everything becomes clear.

Since that was the case, there was no need to force it.

Just let nature take its course.

And now, the most important thing was not the Nine Nether or his past.

It was the evolution of the Shushan Blessed Land.

"Extract reward."

Jiang Yan thought silently, and the entire Shushan Blessed Land suddenly erupted with spiritual light.

In this instant, the world began to tremble.

Six golden lights condensed in the sky, then crashed into the seven veins other than Tongtian Peak.

At the same time, magnificent spiritual mines also condensed in three areas of the Shushan Blessed Land.

The dependent relationship between the Shushan Blessed Land and Teyvat was severed, and gradually, it became more and more complete.

In the sky, the moon and stars shone, casting down rays of true, undeceiving brilliance.

The entire Shushan began to tremble.

"Jiang Yan..."

Ganyu grabbed Jiang Yan's sleeve in a panic.

"It's fine."

Jiang Yan gently wrapped his arms around Ganyu's waist, looked into her eyes, and said softly:

"The Shushan Blessed Land is evolving, Ganyu, seize the opportunity."

Ganyu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly nodded and began to circulate her Qi.

At this time, others also noticed this change, and after a brief panic, they all bowed toward the sky.

"Thank you, Ancestor, for the blessing!"

Immediately, they also threw themselves into cultivation.

The concept of the Shushan Blessed Land was stripped away inch by inch, and the laws were constantly being perfected.

The edges of the world began to extend outward, and in just a short moment, it had expanded by more than double.

This change was still continuing to develop.

Boundless spiritual energy began to fill the Shushan Blessed Land; Jiang Yan didn't need to personally open channels to absorb spiritual energy.

Spiritual energy was born from heaven and earth.

All kinds of spiritual herbs began to take root and sprout all over Shushan.

A green bamboo in the bamboo forest gradually flickered with spiritual light, and wisps of sword Qi began to permeate.

On the mountainside of Feng-Hui Peak, a Sunsettia tree mutated.

Several blood-red fruits condensed and emerged.

A flower in the Far East gradually transformed into a cyan color, and the animals wandering around it began to have dazed eyes.

The mutation of plants was the fastest, followed by the animals that had been introduced into the Shushan Blessed Land.

In the jungle beneath the seven veins, a fierce tiger roared to the sky, grew wings on its back, and soared into the air.
