Chapter 542

Suddenly, Ei was stunned, and only then did she remember that Yae Miko was also Jiang Yan's woman.

Even if she could beat Yae Miko, she couldn't make a move!

Now, the path of revenge was completely broken; Ei could only turn her head to the side in depression, out of sight, out of mind.

Yae Miko stole a smile and pointed to the seven mountain ranges in the distance.

"That is our destination, and also the place where cultivators gather."

"The Seven Branches of Shushan."

"Only inner disciples and above can live on the seven branches."

"The structure of Shushan is very strict."

"The Sect Master coordinates everything and is the highest combat power of Shushan, at the peak of Refining Spirit into Void, about to break through to Refining Void into Dao."

"Below the Sect Master is the Seven Sages Council of Shushan, which is also the foundation of Shushan; when the Sect Master is not here, they manage Shushan on his behalf."

"However, at present, the Seven Sages Council has not returned to their positions; the Seven Sages of Shushan cannot be much weaker than the Sect Master."

"Below the Seven Sages Council are the Heads of the Seven Branches of Shushan, but now Shushan only has two acting Heads, Zhongli of Dragon Head Peak and Venti of Morning Sun Peak."

"That is the Geo Archon and the Anemo Archon."

"After that, there are the inner elders of each peak; because their duties are different, their titles are also different."

"For example, Elder Alice of Dragon Head Peak, because of the Law Enforcement Hall, is called the Law Enforcement Elder."

"The elder of Dazhu Peak is called the Alchemy Elder, the elder of Feng-Hui Peak is called the Refining Elder, and so on."

"Shushan has four mainstream side doors: Alchemy, Array, Refining, and Beast, but the mainstream of Shushan will always be sword cultivation."

"Therefore, our Shushan is also known as the Shushan Sword Sect."

"Tongtian Peak is famous for its swords and is the branch managed by the Sect Master himself; Xiaozhu Peak is all female cultivators, asking about the Dao with spells."

"The disciples of Dragon Head Peak are all people from the Law Enforcement Hall, responsible for internal supervision and external warfare of Shushan."

"Therefore, Dragon Head Peak is full of martial virtue and is also the branch with the largest number of people at present."

Ei nodded thoughtfully and said in a low voice:

"So, Dragon Head Peak has the strongest strength?"

"What are you thinking?"

Yae Miko looked at Ei with great interest.

"Shushan's strongest will always be only one branch, Tongtian Peak; this branch is managed by the Sect Master himself."

"Don't you understand the gold content of the Sect Master's direct jurisdiction?"

"Dragon Head Peak has the largest number of disciples because of its duties, but a large number doesn't mean it's strong."

"Tongtian Peak is full of top geniuses."

"Three great divine bodies: Lumine, Paimon, Klee."

"The three of them are peerless geniuses destined to become immortals; there is also the sword body Keqing, the only core disciple Sister Ganyu, and me, this heavenly charm body."

"Tongtian Peak represents the face of Shushan and represents the highest combat power of Shushan."

"Tongtian Peak disciples are at least top-grade spiritual roots, and most of them are possessors of special physiques."

"How could you think that Tongtian Peak is not as strong as Dragon Head Peak?"

Ei realized, and there was some thought in her eyes.

"So, Tongtian Peak is the closest to the Shushan Sect Master and can see him often?"

Yae Miko laughed dumbly and shook her head.

"The Sect Master is devoted to cultivation; those outer disciples have joined Shushan for so long, and they have only seen the Sect Master twice in total."

"On weekdays, even the Heads find it difficult to see the Sect Master; without proper business, they are not allowed to go to the Sect Hall."

"If you want to see the Sect Master as you please, either you are Klee; Klee is the Sect Master's only true disciple, and the Sect Master is cultivating her as the next Shushan Sect Master."

"Or... like me and Sister Ganyu, but I don't think you can do it; after all, there are quite a few people who have this idea."

Ei was a bit dejected.

Seeing this, Yae Miko comforted:

"No need to think so much; you are going to join Shushan, the Sect Master will definitely see you; when the time comes, just ask whatever you have."

"Let's go, speed up, I'll take you to see the real Shushan."

"If you don't step on the seven branches of Shushan, you can't be considered to have stepped into Shushan."

Kokomi was stunned, her eyes flickering.

"So, only by stepping on the seven branches can one be considered a Shushan disciple."

Yae Miko nodded with a smile.

Kokomi asked again:

"Then the outer disciples..."

Yae Miko smiled meaningfully and said softly:

"In Shushan, there is a consensus that only by becoming an inner disciple can one be considered a disciple of Shushan; apart from that..."

Everyone was silent. "Don't think the Sect Master is cruel."

Yae Miko said indifferently:

"The cultivation world has always been like this; the weak are the prey of the strong, the weak have no dignity, and the cultivation world has never been beautiful."

"No one thinks of changing it, and it cannot be changed; this is a rule passed down for countless years."

"This will also make disciples constantly climb upward; resources are always limited, so naturally, they must be supplied to geniuses and the strong first."

"Above inner disciples are core disciples, and above core disciples are true disciples."

"Above elders are Heads, and above Heads are the Seven Sages..."

"The class concept of cultivation sects is deeply rooted; Teyvat's history is only tens of thousands of years."

"But the lifespan of Headmaster Zhongli and the others now is already tens of thousands of years, and Shushan's inheritance is calculated by eras."

"How many years are in an era, no one is clear, so..."

"Don't think about changing it, just follow it; at the very least, everyone will think about becoming a beneficiary of the rules."

"Rules are what the Law Enforcement Hall values most; don't do things you shouldn't do, otherwise, if the Law Enforcement Hall asks for accountability, you won't be able to bear it."

Kokomi sighed and said nothing more.

Teyvat's rule of strength is not obvious, but in the cultivation world, Shushan, where there are strong people everywhere.

This is an absolute rule that cannot be broken.

The weak are the prey of the strong, strength is supreme.

The strong are never wrong!

Because the mistakes of the strong are paid for by the weak.

Is it deformed?

Kokomi doesn't know, she can't evaluate it, because she is not strong enough.

Even if she says it, the strong won't be happy, and if they press her to death, she has no way to take revenge.

The first lesson of entering Shushan, the cruelty of the cultivation world, was taught to them by Yae Miko herself.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and not long after, they arrived at Tongtian Peak.

Compared to the previous areas, the spiritual energy on Tongtian Peak was more dense.

Large clouds condensed around them, and Yoimiya curiously reached out to explore.

Instantly, she was surprised to find that the clouds were all integrated into her hands.

Between breaths, she also felt that her physique was being strengthened.

"This is spiritual energy turning into mist, extremely condensed mist; it can condense into mist on the seven branches, and even in the Sect Master's cave dwelling."

"There are even small lakes condensed from spiritual energy liquid."

"Therefore, cultivating on the seven branches will be faster; this is also the reason why everyone is unwilling to leave Shushan."

"Teyvat's cultivation environment is ultimately not as good as the Shushan world."

"Setting up a gathering spirit array in Teyvat can only be comparable to the spiritual energy environment of the Shushan world."

"In addition..."

Yae Miko blinked and looked meaningfully at Gorou, who was keeping deep breaths, and smiled:

"If I were you, I would breathe hard like this little dog; in Shushan, breathing can make you stronger, which is a real situation."

"After all, cultivators, it's normal to eat wind and drink dew."

Instantly, Gorou lowered his head awkwardly, but his breathing didn't slow down.
