Chapter 6

People who know some secrets in the seven nations would think that Liyue is going to be dealt with by the Heavenly Principles.

On the high mountains of Jueyun Karst, although not a single thunder strike fell, Zhongli and others were still suppressed by the aura of the tribulation lightning and became increasingly weak.

They could only sit on their seats in a daze, looking up at Jiang Yan who was constantly being struck by lightning, somewhat numb.

The initial tribulation lightning was black, and after nine strikes, it turned into blood-colored tribulation lightning, just like the sky Zhongli saw in Khaenri'ah at the beginning.

Jiang Yan resisted them all easily.

And now...

The tribulation lightning has turned into a strange appearance of purple with a hint of green.

Zhongli indicates that he has truly opened his eyes.

This kind of thunder is unheard of.

He is now certain that this thing is really not something that Teyvat can generate.

"How many strikes?"

Liuyun pursed her lips and looked at Shenhe beside her in a daze.

Shenhe, who is always cold-faced, is obviously also somewhat confused at this moment.

After a while, she says softly:

"Twenty-six strikes?"

"Is it not over yet?"

Liuyun has a headache.

"I believe it now; the immortality he cultivates is indeed going against heaven; otherwise, how could there be such a punishment from heaven?"

Zhongli smiles bitterly, shakes his head, and is about to say something.

Jiang Yan in the air moves.

The purple energy that was surrounding his body at the beginning is now somewhat golden.

It is as if strands of golden silk are mixed in it.

Zhongli doesn't know what that is, only feeling that the power is very pure, very high-level, and even exceeds divine power by a lot.

Jiang Yan moves his body, which is somewhat numb from being struck.

Ganyu below sees Jiang Yan move and hurriedly shouts:

"Jiang Yan, is it not over yet? Everyone is about to be unable to hold on!"

Liuyun and Zhongli’s faces are somewhat embarrassed; they have stronger strength, but instead, they are now not as able to move freely as Ganyu.

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

Jiang Yan moves his wrists, looks down, and seeing that several people are indeed exhausted, Jiang Yan looks up at the last tribulation lightning brewing in the air.

This one is different from the previous ones, giving Jiang Yan a stronger sense of threat.

If he resists it hard, even if he can survive, he will likely have his meridians damaged.

"Then let's end it."

Jiang Yan murmurs leisurely, and Zhongli and others below perk up, staring at him closely.

Vaguely, they only see Jiang Yan joining his fingers into a sword, making a very wonderful hand seal.

An indescribable power flows around him.

"Nine Heavens Profound Brake, transformed into divine thunder, brilliant heavenly thunder, guided by the sword!"

A sword.

A sword transformed by golden thunder.

It emerges from Jiang Yan’s hand, and in a short instant, it turns into a thunder divine sword that opens heaven and earth.

From bottom to top, it slashes towards the thundercloud that is spewing out the last tribulation lightning.

At this moment, Zhongli and others are in a trance.

They witnessed with their own eyes someone, with a meager body, resisting the will of heaven.

The concept of an immortal is broken and reshaped.

5. Zhongli, who is planning to fake his death in the tribulation, sees a real tribulation crossing.

I don't know how long it has been, the sky is clear and the earth is bright.

The previous thunderclouds disappeared without a trace, as if everything was just a fantasy.

But the people of Teyvat know clearly that it was real.

All countries are in an uproar, quickly exchanging information, wanting to know what happened in Liyue.

But Ningguang herself is confused, contacting Zhongli’s side, and Zhongli has no feedback, so for a while, she is somewhat panicked.

Fortunately, a divine power of Zhongli flew back, telling her that everything is fine, and other things will be discussed later.

Only then did it barely stabilize, arranging for the Millelith to maintain order in Liyue Harbor.

Celestia is also in an uproar, with many gods finding ways to contact the Heavenly Principles.

But the Heavenly Principles seem to be more and more dead asleep because of the previous situation, as if they have suffered some huge impact.

There is no way, Celestia can only temporarily keep quiet and continue to wait for the destined reincarnation.

One tribulation crossing makes the entire Teyvat surge, and I don't know how many butterfly effects will appear.

However, Jiang Yan doesn't care.

Where in the world is there any destined reincarnation?

The world is weird and unpredictable; the essence of the world is unknown, and it is a change that cannot be understood.

No matter what Teyvat was like before, now, a true immortal cultivator, Jiang Yan, has arrived.

Then Teyvat will be like this.

On the high mountain where Liuyun is in Jueyun Karst.

Jiang Yan and others gather again by the stone table, and everything around is as if nothing happened.

Only Jiang Yan, the purple rune at the center of his eyebrows, now has a bit of gold, faintly noble and mysterious.

Zhongli and Liuyun are exhausted because of the aura of the tribulation lightning, and their state is not very good at this moment.

Jiang Yan notices this and smiles apologetically.

Reaching out and pointing in the void, a few strands of purple-gold lines appear out of thin air and merge into the bodies of the four.

The next moment, that feeling of fatigue and restlessness disappears without a trace.

Even Zhongli feels a pleasure like a spring breeze, as if he has returned to the time when he was just born, without erosion...

Erosion?

Zhongli’s eyes flicker, calming down to feel it.

After a while, he looks up at Jiang Yan in disbelief.

"Emperor?"

Zhongli’s action makes Liuyun notice, looking at him with some confusion.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhongli shakes his head, and after a moment of silence, says complicatedly:

"My erosion is gone by one-fifth..."

"What!"

Liuyun is somewhat shocked, but immediately full of joy.

"Erosion... can... can it be removed?"

"Naturally, it can."

This time, Jiang Yan takes over the conversation, his tone gentle:

"The so-called erosion is the lifespan constraint imposed by heaven and earth on you long-lived species."

"And we immortal cultivators are a group of existences that defy the rules of heaven and earth; naturally, this kind of constraint is easy for us to handle."

Liuyun originally wanted to say strike while the iron is hot and let Jiang Yan help Zhongli solve the erosion in one go.

But Zhongli signals Liuyun not to mention it with his eyes.

Liuyun opens her mouth but still doesn't say it.

The things that happened today are too magical, and now she feels like she is dreaming.

Jiang Yan, an ordinary person who has been together for a hundred days, crossed the tribulation and became an immortal in a grand way under her nose today?

Even, compared to him, she doesn't seem worthy of being called an immortal...
