Chapter 568
"The Evil Sword Immortal is especially good at bewitching people's hearts; there are not a few people who have been bewitched by his words and turned against their own side."
"In fact, in the past, there was a cultivator at the early stage of Refining Void and Combining Dao who, after being asked a few questions by the Evil Sword Immortal, had his Dao heart collapse directly, and his cultivation plummeted."
"So, when fighting, do not have any communication with the Evil Sword Immortal."
"Of course, it's too early to say this now; to face the Evil Sword Immortal and his Heavenly Demon Ridge, your current strength is not enough."
"The top priority should be hard cultivation to improve your strength and prepare for future battles."
"Otherwise, when the Evil Sword Immortal sees your strength, he might not even have the desire to communicate with you before taking action."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Although they were still a little excited, cultivation itself is a matter of avoiding arrogance and impetuosity, not to mention, the threat of the Evil Sword Immortal right now...
In Jiang Yan's view, it is already very soon, but for everyone in Teyvat, there is still a long time.
They still haven't fully adapted to the cultivator's concept of time; hundreds or thousands of years is still a span they cannot accept in a short time.
During this period, with their talent, they should be able to gain something.
Besides, isn't there the Demon Locking Tower?
Himeko also understood Jiang Yan's meaning more or less, but still said in disbelief:
"So the meaning of you keeping me, Sect Master, is..."
Jiang Yan nodded slightly and said softly:
"Shushan is now facing the threat of the Evil Sword Immortal, and as I said, the original step-by-step development could still allow Shushan to revive."
"But now, I need to achieve this in a shorter time."
"One Teyvat cannot provide enough disciple resources for Shushan's revival."
"So... the Honkai world is the second world I have set my sights on."
Originally, Jiang Yan was not actually interested in doing tasks and such.
Cultivation, in his eyes, should be step-by-step and steady; one cannot seek speed.
Therefore, Jiang Yan did not actively urge the completion of system tasks.
Just like that, he cultivated every day, relaxed with Ganyu and the others when he had nothing to do, and guided other disciples in their cultivation.

Such a life is quite beautiful.
But the trip to the Demon Locking Tower broke all of Jiang Yan's stable life.
The appearance of the Evil Sword Immortal brought Shushan's potential crisis to the surface.
Admittedly, Jiang Yan could have transcended the tribulation and ascended in a short time; at that time, whatever Evil Sword Immortal would have nothing to do with him.
As for the heavens and worlds...
Help if you can, if you can't, cultivators subduing demons and eliminating devils should also put themselves first.
But Jiang Yan had never thought of such a thought.
The current Shushan was built by him single-handedly, with many disciples, the seven veins of Shushan...
These are all results he watched from nothing to something.
Jiang Yan was not cold-blooded enough to let everything happen; he was not a demonic cultivator.
If everything here was destroyed because he didn't care, Jiang Yan would definitely develop inner demons.
So...
The battle with the Evil Sword Immortal is inevitable.
Either he dies, or Shushan perishes.
The Evil Sword Immortal cannot die, so suppress him, suppress him forever; for the immortal Evil Sword Immortal, this is a torture more painful than death.
Jiang Yan actually had some confidence.
With his talent, in a few hundred years, Jiang Yan had absolute confidence in reaching the peak of Refining Void and Combining Dao, and might even be about to ascend.
At that time, with the power of the eight great mantras combined, the Evil Sword Immortal would never be able to turn things around in this life.
The more troublesome thing is the Heavenly Demon Ridge.
The Evil Sword Immortal has some ability, and Jiang Yan cannot be distracted when dealing with him, so the Heavenly Demon Ridge might attack other Shushan disciples.
Someone has to be able to stop them.
Not asking them to win, at the very least, someone must have the strength to resist.
Someone must be able to drag the guys from the Heavenly Demon Ridge until Jiang Yan solves the Evil Sword Immortal.
In this way, with only one Teyvat, it is obviously impossible to have such a reserve of disciples in a few hundred years.
Thus, we must find a way to open source.
Although the Honkai world is a technological world, the technological world is also composed of humans.
If there are geniuses, there will be geniuses.
The Honkai world has more outstanding talents; according to Jiang Yan's estimation, the cultivation geniuses that can come out of it are probably no worse than Teyvat.
There might even be many ready-made powerhouses.
Once they switch to cultivation, they can directly become Shushan's combat power.
Moreover, expanding the world radiated by Shushan and improving Shushan's development progress will get more rewards.
These rewards will accelerate Jiang Yan himself and the many disciples of Shushan to become stronger.
Only in this way can everyone in Shushan have hope of blocking the demons of the Heavenly Demon Ridge in the future; at the very least, they will not become a burden to Jiang Yan's battle.
Moreover, solving the problems of the Honkai world and letting the Honkai world join the radiation range of Shushan can also be considered as fulfilling Himeko's wish.
In this way, Himeko's cultivation can also go more smoothly.
It can be considered killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, no matter from which point of consideration, bringing the Honkai world into cultivation is something Jiang Yan must do.
Withdrawing his mind, Jiang Yan looked at Himeko, who looked somewhat surprised, but didn't have time to answer for a while.
Jiang Yan reminded softly:
"Himeko, what do you think?"
Reminded by Jiang Yan, Himeko reacted immediately and nodded repeatedly.
"Of course! Of course, no problem!"
"The Sect Master allows me to return to the Honkai world, and the disciple is very grateful; what's more, you also allow the disciple to take action and personally solve the Honkai."
"And I can bring companions from the Honkai world to cultivate..."
Himeko looked at Jiang Yan with emotion and said seriously:
"Thank you, Sect Master; Himeko is willing to go through fire and water for Shushan, and will not refuse!"
376. Himeko: Kiana, you protect the world, I protect you
"There's no need to say that."
Jiang Yan smiled and said softly:
"I am also considering the development of Shushan; since the Honkai world can produce a cultivator with strength and talent like you, Himeko."
"Why can't it produce other cultivators?"
"Shushan is now facing the prying eyes of the Evil Sword Immortal and must improve its strength as quickly as possible."
"The Honkai world is indeed a good place."
Himeko shook her head.
"Regardless, the Sect Master allows me to return, and what's more, to return with the path of cultivation."
"No matter the starting point, it will save everyone in the Honkai world, and the disciple is very grateful."
Jiang Yan waved his hand helplessly.
"Alright, let's not talk about gratitude for now; since you have no problem, then pick a time and return to the Honkai world."
Venti blinked and reminded:
"Sect Master, the Jiuyou Secret Realm Exploration Conference is in three days; there's no need for Himeko to return these few days."
"After all, she herself has just started cultivation and hasn't mastered the true meaning of cultivation yet."
"In three days, even if she goes back, she can't do anything; it's better to stay and study the path of cultivation well, and explore the Jiuyou Secret Realm first."
Jiang Yan nodded slightly and said softly:
"Then why don't you return to the Honkai world after the Jiuyou Secret Realm Exploration Conference ends, Himeko?"
After the Jiuyou Secret Realm Exploration Conference ends, Himeko will probably have mastered the path of cultivation relatively proficiently.
