Chapter 370

Paimon didn't cultivate every day, just followed Klee and Qiqi around catching fierce beasts to eat, but her strength kept advancing by leaps and bounds, so Lumine suggested refining Paimon into a pill...

In general, more disciples joining Shushan made Shushan more active.

And the affairs within Shushan were generally calm and stable.

The reason for this calmness was just because Shushan was strong enough.

But in Teyvat, the trend of immortal cultivation was spreading crazily as time passed.

The entire Teyvat was becoming more and more treacherous and surging.

Especially as more and more spiritual energy was transmitted from Jueyun Karst, even outside Jueyun Karst, fierce beasts were born.

Liyue was even more lively.

Every day, countless forces shuttled across the land of Liyue hunting fierce beasts, and they were also exploring ways to join Shushan outside the Mountain Opening Ceremony period.

However, since the Mountain Opening Ceremony, Shushan had been temporarily closed to cultivate with all its might.

The efforts of these people were destined to be in vain.

And even if they hunted fierce beasts, the price these forces paid was painful.

Not to mention anything else, the Abyss Order, which had the strongest individual strength, paid a full hundred high-level combatants at the Abyss Lector level during this period just to hunt fierce beasts.

And the harvest was only two fierce beasts at the peak of Foundation Establishment and some fierce beasts at the mid-to-late stage of Foundation Establishment.

At the same time, other nations were also increasing their efforts to arrange for people to come to Liyue.

Even considering that Liyue and Shushan had a slight cooperative relationship.

These nations were considering contacting Liyue to see if they could join Shushan outside the Mountain Opening Ceremony period.

If not, they could provide double what Liyue could provide.

Even just establishing a connection was a good thing.

However, Liyue didn't have the leisure to communicate with them recently.

The ceremony called the Rite of Descension, which was actually Zhongli's abdication ceremony, was about to be held.

Zhongli was waiting for his abdication, hoping to go to the Demon-Locking Tower to cultivate as soon as possible.

For this future period, he wanted to live for himself.

Avenge his grievances, and then resurrect his old friend.

Zhongli's new year was unprecedentedly firm.

And during these few days, Ningguang and the others also returned to Teyvat.

They arranged some things in Liyue and passed the news of the new disciples back to Teyvat along the way.

Teyvat today, especially Liyue,

had really changed too much because of the spiritual energy recovery.

In Liyue today, the most dangerous thing wasn't any monster; it could even be said that monsters were the victims of the spiritual energy recovery era.

The people of Liyue could still rely on a powerful army and martial arts, plus contact with Ningguang and the others, to live well in the city.

But monsters were truly shuttling in the wild.

Those animals that were looked down upon in the past had now all become fierce beasts and demon beasts.

It could be said that the real danger in the wild in Liyue today was these evolved animals.

However, misfortune and fortune depend on each other; the more fierce beasts there were, the more martial arts experts Liyue had.

Currently, they already had more than a dozen grandmaster experts.

And all of this happened within a week after the Mountain Opening Ceremony.

When Teyvat had just gotten used to these changes, the one-week period had arrived.

Shushan disciples...

Were also going to return home in glory.

234. Shushan disciples, returning home in glory!

Early this morning.

Many disciples were routinely listening to Jiang Yan's morning class in their Dao fields, cultivating silently.

When the sun had completely risen and the Shushan morning class ended,

just as many disciples were planning to carry out their own cultivation, a sound of an ancient bell suddenly resounded throughout Shushan.

Everyone suddenly looked up and looked at Tongtian Peak with some excitement.

The Jade Chime and Golden Bell, the representatives of Shushan, were ringing now, representing that Shushan was about to have a big move.

Immediately, the disciples who reacted showed their abilities and rushed toward Tongtian Peak.

Streams of light streaked across all parts of heaven and earth.

Once the Jade Chime and Golden Bell rang, all disciples, no matter what they were doing, needed to return as soon as possible.

This was also the only opportunity they could fly on Tongtian Peak.

Not long after, nearly a thousand Outer Sect disciples and all Inner Sect disciples arrived at the square in front of the Sect Hall.

After landing, everyone remained silent, first taking a look at the Demon-Locking Tower standing majestically not far away, with a touch of awe appearing in their eyes simultaneously.

Then they looked at the Sect Hall opposite with full anticipation.

After everyone had arrived, the gate of the Sect Hall opened with a boom, and Jiang Yan walked out with a calm expression, floating lightly.

Although Jiang Yan appeared to be standing alone in front of everyone,

in the eyes of these disciples, it was as if the endless firmament was slowly approaching.

Involuntarily, everyone even slowed down their breathing.

The Outer Sect disciples looked at Jiang Yan with fanatical eyes; this was the first time they had seen the Shushan Sect Master since joining Shushan.

They were not like Inner Sect disciples, who could find Jiang Yan at any time as long as there was official business or important matters.

If Outer Sect disciples had anything, they could only report to the Outer Sect Elders.

There were hardly any opportunities for Outer Sect disciples to see the Sect Master.

"Greetings, Sect Master! May the Sect Master's Dao be equal to the heavens!"

Over a thousand disciples cupped their hands in unison, their voices loud, shaking the bamboo forest on Tongtian Peak until it rustled.

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and said softly:

"From the Mountain Opening Ceremony to today, you disciples have also joined Shushan for a week."

"Although your cultivation may not have made much progress, I think you have already initially understood the way of immortal cultivation."

Upon hearing this, the disciples below all proudly raised their heads.

Although in one week, except for the exceptionally gifted Inner Sect disciples who had some breakthroughs,

the Outer Sect disciples were at most familiar with immortal cultivation.

But even so, they were not comparable to their past selves today.

The weakest were at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, plus Jiang Yan's lecture, and with the Sword Control Art, they could at least control the flying sword themselves.

They already had the style of immortal disciples.

"Although you disciples have achieved something, the long road to immortality has only just begun."

Jiang Yan changed the subject and pointed out to everyone again.

Immediately, the disciples' gazes became stern, and they hurriedly put away their little pride.

"As mentioned before, after the Mountain Opening Ceremony, Shushan was closed for a week for all disciples to fully familiarize themselves with immortal cultivation."

"Now, the one-week period has arrived, and I have also seen your progress."

"My Shushan disciples are all exceptionally gifted."

Receiving Jiang Yan's praise, many disciples, especially the Outer Sect disciples, became even more excited.

"As the saying goes, not returning home in glory is like wearing brocade in the dark. Now that you disciples have achieved a little, it is time to return home in glory."

Jiang Yan chuckled, and facing the expectant eyes of all the disciples, he said loudly:

"From today on, Shushan's closure is lifted. All disciples may return to Teyvat."

As the words fell, all the disciples cheered excitedly.

"Sect Master is wise!"

"Long live the Sect Master!"

"Bold! The Sect Master's cultivation is heaven-reaching; he is a cultivator at the peak of Refinement of Spirit returning to Void, with a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years, and in the future, he will ascend to become an immortal, living as long as the heavens and shining with the sun."

"You call the Sect Master 'Long Live'—aren't you cursing the Sect Master?!"

"I... I said the wrong thing... Sorry!"
