Chapter 912

Jiang Yan sighed emotionally, looked at everyone, and said slowly:

"I have reached the peak of Refining Void and Combining Dao. Becoming an immortal is right before my eyes..."

"This is a path I cannot stop, and a path I must take."

"It's just that, this Shushan was built by my own hands, so leaving like this is a bit of a pity..."

"The Heavenly Demon Territory is still rampant in the myriad worlds. Before I leave, I will solve them."

"The myriad worlds have not yet been unified. Before I leave, I will also handle it well."

"Handling all the affairs of the lower realm before ascending is the last gift I give to Klee, and the last gift to you all."

[Requesting flowers]

"A stable and prosperous cultivation world..."

"This will be the last legend I leave behind."

"This great world was opened by me alone!"

Jiang Yan closed his eyes, and the faces of everyone flashed before him, finally settling on the Kirin girl he met in Jueyun Karst the day he first arrived in Teyvat.

Jiang Yan opened his eyes, his expression calm.

"Pass the order!"

"All of Shushan, prepare for war. One year later, follow me to conquer the Heavenly Demon Territory, pacify the enemy, and conquer the myriad worlds!"

"In this battle, all experts of the Heavenly Demon Territory above Refining Spirit into Void will be suppressed by me alone!"

"After pacifying the enemy, the four seas will be unified, and Shushan will flourish."

"I... Shushan Sect Master Jiang Yan, abdicate!"

"Sect Master's direct disciple Klee, succeeds to the position of Shushan Sect Master."

"After this, I will go into seclusion and not come out until I cross the tribulation and ascend."

"All departments of Shushan, heads of all peaks, and inner and outer sect elders must do their best to assist Sect Master Klee in coordinating everything in Shushan."

Jiang Yan smiled, looking at the somewhat lost crowd.

"Everyone, the road ahead is long. The era that belongs to you is about to arrive, and I... have more things to do."

"I hope we can all meet again in the Immortal Realm in the future."

"Before that, I will build everything of the old Shushan in the Immortal Realm and wait for your ascension."

943. Deploying Troops, Shushan Sets Out

Shushan has changed.

This was the first major news after the Corporation's myriad world communicator was developed.

By now, every move of Shushan affected the fate of countless worlds and countless living beings, not to mention such earth-shattering news, even within Shushan.

The current Sect Master of Shushan, with unprecedented qualifications, reached the peak of Refining Void and Combining Dao at only ninety years old.

In the true sense, just one step away from ascension.

The number one powerhouse of the myriad worlds.

According to common sense, even at the peak of Refining Void and Combining Dao, some people cannot break through for a lifetime and cannot become immortals.

Even for a gifted genius who leaves their name in history, after reaching the peak of Refining Void and Combining Dao, they usually need hundreds of years of consolidation to ascend.

But Jiang Yan clearly cannot be calculated by common sense.

Reaching the peak of Refining Void and Combining Dao at ninety, he wasn't even a hundred years old...

In the scale of thousands or tens of thousands of years in the cultivation world, and among many Spirit Clans, this age is still the era of a newborn who cannot transform.

No one would doubt Jiang Yan's speed of ascension.

One year?

That is the time he doesn't want to ascend; otherwise, he could squeeze it into a few months.

According to common sense, ascending to become an immortal is a good thing, but the people of Shushan don't think so.

The one with the highest cultivation, Fu Hua, is currently only in the middle stage of Refining Spirit into Void, wanting to cross the tribulation and ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Conservatively estimated, it will take tens of thousands of years.

The gap between Jiang Yan's strength and the strength of the people of Shushan is too huge.

And for Klee, Ganyu, and the others, this is even more painful news.

Although they had thought that this day would come sooner or later, when it really arrived, they still couldn't accept it.

But ascension is the lifelong wish of every cultivator; no one can persuade Jiang Yan not to ascend.

The time they have together is only one year left...

Ganyu and the others tried their best to control themselves not to think too much, not to think about cultivation, and just spent every day traveling and playing with Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan also wanted to see the great Shushan he built with his own hands in the last time.

And accompany Ganyu, Miko, and the others.

If there is any regret after ascension, Jiang Yan estimates there will be quite a few.

He thought he could accompany Ganyu and the others for a while longer, and watch Klee grow up.

He didn't expect to reach this step so early.

If your talent is too good, sometimes you have to get used to loneliness.

On his path, many people will only be passersby.

After this ascension, wanting to meet Ganyu, Miko, and the others again might be a matter of over a hundred thousand years later.

Over a hundred thousand years later...

What kind of strength will he have?

Golden Immortal?

Or Taiyi...

Jiang Yan never doubted whether his talent would allow him to go so fast.

He was just worried that in over a hundred thousand years, cultivating alone in the upper realm, how much humanity of the mortal world he could retain...

Whether he admits it or not, in the end, cultivation will always make various emotions increasingly indifferent.

Although it won't be as heartless as the Heartless Dao, indifference is also a very normal development.

Harboring these complicated thoughts, this year passed exceptionally quickly.

When the clock left by Jiang Yan rang the jade chime and golden bell on time, Jiang Yan, who was traveling in the myriad worlds with Ganyu and the others, sighed leisurely and looked at Ganyu and the others whose eyes were already filled with tears.

He gently rubbed their horns, just like when he first met them.

"It's time to go..."

"Yes!"

944. The Path to Immortality, Broken

In one year, it is difficult for Shushan to have any major breakthroughs. Even if the Demon-Locking Tower is opened, the one with the highest cultivation is still Fu Hua in the middle stage of Refining Spirit into Void.

When cultivation reaches the later stages, breaking through is quite difficult.

After all, not everyone is Jiang Yan.

When Jiang Yan returned to Shushan with Ganyu and the others, whether it was the inner or outer sect, or the vassal Spirit Clans of Shushan.

They were all ready and prepared to set out.

Jiang Yan changed into an immortal robe he had never worn before, and the Demon-Suppressing Sword, the symbol of the Shushan Sect Master, had already been unsheathed.

Standing on the clouds, overlooking the grand scene of immortal boats lined up below and powerhouses riding clouds side by side, he took a deep breath.

Everything needs no more words; it was all a plan set a year ago.

He turned and swung his sword, and the last reward before the system disappeared in the past, the passage to the cultivation world, appeared in the air.

"Shushan... set out!"

March, the fifth year of the New Shushan Era.

Jiang Yan, the first Sect Master of the New Shushan, led eighty-seven heads and elders of Refining Spirit into Void, and led hundreds of millions of Shushan disciples and vassal Spirit Clans to set out for the cultivation world.

To conquer the Heavenly Demon Territory.

Lasting four months and eight days, the majestic Heavenly Demon Territory of the new era was completely exterminated.

In this battle, the demonic cultivators of the myriad worlds were killed and injured, cowering in the corners of the myriad worlds, lingering on their last breaths.

The demons of the Heavenly Demon Territory were wiped out, with Shushan Sect Master Jiang Yan suppressing forty-eight thousand Heavenly Demons of Refining Spirit into Void alone.

And five Heavenly Demons of Desire at the peak of Refining Void and Combining Dao.
