Chapter 924

From the initial confusion to the current numb acceptance, God knows what Xiaotian has experienced.

At the same time, Shushan has also returned to its former prosperity.

The Seven Saint Elders are all Earth Immortals, and Jiang Yan’s personal disciples Klee, Lumine, Paimon, and later Kiana, Durandal, Ruan Mei, Bailu, etc.

Klee has the highest cultivation, at the early stage of Earth Immortal, and the others are basically at the late stage and peak of Void-Refining and Dao-Combining.

The remaining seven first seats of Shushan are all at the peak of Void-Refining and Dao-Combining, only one step away from becoming an immortal.

Shushan Inner Sect Elder Council, 370 Void-Refining and Dao-Combining.

And at this time, Ningguang and others who joined Shushan earliest have also become members of the Elder Council.

The remaining two of the Seven Saint Elders were filled by Ganyu and Yae Miko.

Although Jiang Yan has had many new Dao companions over the years, Ganyu and Yae Miko, who were the earliest, have been with him the longest.

But the fact that they cannot ascend is finally unable to be hidden.

Although the living beings in the lower realm are terrified, Jiang Yan, as a Taiyi, came forward, and naturally the world was peaceful.

The turmoil that should have been set off was instantly calmed down.

When the sky falls, there are naturally tall people to hold it up. The former Shushan Sect Master Jiang Yan is still there, and he has reached the peak of Taiyi in the lower realm.

For the living beings of the myriad worlds, it doesn’t matter where they become immortals, as long as they can still become immortals.

This year, the lower realm entered the first year of Taiyi.

For ten full years, the heavens and myriad worlds celebrated.

But Jiang Yan vaguely discovered…

His path has not reached the limit.

Taiyi…

Still not his end point!

Shushan Era 10,000 years exactly.

This year, Shushan created brilliance again.

Jiang Yan’s ten-thousand-year birthday, and he has truly reached the peak in the narrow sense, the peak of Taiyi…

Afterward, Ganyu, Yae Miko, Ningguang, Lisa, Furina, Hu Tao, Shenhe, Acheron, Ruan Mei, etc., Jiang Yan’s early and late new Dao companions.

All stepped down from their positions in Shushan and traveled with Jiang Yan to practice.

Klee also became a mid-stage Heaven Immortal this year.

In addition, the seven first seats of Shushan were also inherited by the disciples of the original first seats.

Unable to ascend for a long time, Shushan has developed to an unimaginable level in the heavens and myriad worlds.

Shushan has nearly 200 Earth Immortals and 15 Heaven Immortals.

However, those who should retire retire, those who should travel travel, and there are very few immortal elders who stay honestly in Shushan.

For example, Zhongli, who just broke through to Heaven Immortal, took his former immortal friends and Venti and others out to travel. Only Jiang Yan knows where they went.

Otto, who became an elder, couldn’t sit still. He found a place, sealed his five senses, and went to create a world to have a spring and autumn dream.

More than 10,000 years passed, Otto became a peak Earth Immortal, but he never took a step further with Kallen.

Three years ago, witnessed by many elders and Jiang Yan, Kallen and Yae Sakura officially became Dao companions, and Otto let go and went out to cultivate his heart.

Besides this, there are many, many people…

Shushan Supreme World, now, the heavens and myriad worlds circle around the seven pulses of Shushan, and Jiang Yan takes many Dao companions to practice in a hidden world at the top of the seven pulses.

This world is also called the Little Immortal World, created by Jiang Yan after he could not ascend and reached Taiyi.

At this time, logically speaking, he has reached the peak of the heavens and myriad worlds and can no longer go further.

But…

His aura is still slowly improving.

Jiang Yan doesn’t know why, but perhaps, when he reaches the top, everything will have an answer.

“Master!”

Suddenly, Klee’s unique happy call sounded inside the world.

The next moment, the various immortal birds in the world also became a mess.

Klee is still that Klee. After achieving Heaven Immortal, with Jiang Yan’s help, she recast her talent and became the unique Five Elements Saint Body.

Now more than 10,000 years have passed, but she is still a beautiful young girl.

In front of outsiders, she became the cold Shushan Sect Master, who has been in charge of Shushan for ten thousand years, longer than Jiang Yan was the Sect Master, with overwhelming power.

But in front of Jiang Yan, she is still that lively and cute little guy.

Of course, in the eyes of the divine birds, this Sect Master is a chaotic demon king.

Ganyu and others opened their eyes and looked, smiled tacitly, and their figures gradually hidden, escaping into the dimension gap to continue practice.

Jiang Yan, who was sitting in the dojo, smiled. Just as he opened his eyes, Klee drilled into his arms.

“So old, still like this. If your disciples and Shushan disciples see it, they might be scared to lose their minds.”

Klee, who had grown into a beautiful big girl, hugged Jiang Yan happily.

“Haven’t seen Master for a long time! A full day and one hour!”

“Where is Little Soft?”

The Little Soft in Klee’s mouth is the biological daughter of Jiang Yan and Alice, and also Klee’s younger sister.

Over the years, although Jiang Yan has profound strength, it does not mean he has no offspring.

Ganyu, Yae Miko, Ningguang, Hu Tao, Acheron, Ruan Mei, and Alice have all given birth to children for Jiang Yan.

However, usually, the children are brought by the current Seven Saint Elders to practice.

Jiang Yan and the others are immortals after all. It is not a good thing for those close to immortals to not be immortals.

Although the children are born at the peak of Spirit-Refining and Void-Returning, now, the only one who has become an immortal is Jiang Ranran, which is Little Soft in Klee’s mouth.

This child is staying with Alice.

“Your mother took her to the past of Teyvat, saying she wanted to take her to see the Teyvat of the old era.”

Klee curled her lips.

“With Little Soft, mother doesn’t look for me anymore… really, is it just because Klee is not mother’s biological daughter?”

Jiang Yan tapped Klee’s head.

“Don’t talk nonsense, Alice will talk about you again when she hears it.”

Klee hugged Jiang Yan and kissed him happily.

“It doesn’t matter! Klee only needs Master.”

“Speaking of which, Master, the Shushan Mountain Opening Ceremony is about to start again. I heard that Elder Zhongli’s child is also old enough to come to pay respects to the mountain.”

“It is said that his son is a Divine Body.”

“Master, don’t you want to go and see?”

Jiang Yan laughed:

“Zhongli himself is playing outside, his son is completely free-range, all raised by Xiao, he doesn’t come back, what am I going for?”

“But this is the 100th Shushan Mountain Opening Ceremony, it has commemorative significance, Master should show his face.”

Klee looked at Jiang Yan resentfully.

“Where is Xiaotian? Let him go, I still have to practice.”

“Xiaotian Zhenjun went to travel with Elder Zhongli and the others, I can’t contact him, besides, Master is already at the peak of Taiyi, how can you practice!”

Klee stared at Jiang Yan angrily, Jiang Yan pursed his lips and smiled, saying leisurely:

“I always feel that the road ahead is not broken, but… I can’t take that step.”

“Da… Daluo?”

Klee looked at Jiang Yan in shock and asked puzzledly:

“But, isn’t Daluo only born as Daluo?”

“This is also what I am most confused about…”

Jiang Yan sighed, Klee blinked, and suddenly leaned into Jiang Yan’s ear.

“Maybe Master’s perception is not in place, why not… dual cultivate with Klee…”

Before the words were finished, Jiang Yan patted Klee’s head unhappily.

“Little ghost.”

“Not little anymore! Klee is almost ten thousand years old!”

Klee stared at Jiang Yan resentfully, muttering:

"Don't think Klee doesn't know; Master has clearly already..."

Jiang Yan hurriedly interrupted Klee. Klee was not in a rush, looking at Jiang Yan and pondering:

"Great Luo, born as such, only a Great Luo can become a Great Luo—isn't that a settled conclusion?"

"It is a settled conclusion..."

Jiang Yan pondered for a long time, feeling a bit uncertain.

Klee suddenly said:

"Then is it possible that Master was originally a Great Luo? And only sealed your own memories and true spirit, which is why..."

"After all, Master is very magical. How many times has True Monarch Xiaotian said it? Looking through the past, present, and future, where else is there someone who reached the peak of Taiyi in ten thousand years of cultivation?"

"What's more, it's also very strange that everyone who has become an immortal now cannot ascend."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan suddenly froze.

A feeling from the void told him that something was about to descend.

To be honest, over these years, it wasn't as if no one had joked about this, but...

Now, Jiang Yan felt that the time had just happened to arrive.

Suddenly, Jiang Yan’s consciousness was rapidly pulled away, and gradually, he seemed to arrive in a dead, empty space.

In the distance of this space, three figures whose faces could not be seen stood in the chaos.

With Jiang Yan’s peak Taiyi cultivation, he could not make out their features at all.

Thus, Jiang Yan understood who was before him.

The Taiqing Moral Heavenly Lord, the Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Lord, and the Shangqing Lingbao Heavenly Lord...

"Fellow Daoist, why not wake up?"

Suddenly, the Primordial Heavenly Lord in the middle let out a call that shook the universe. The next moment, Jiang Yan felt a barrier being silently opened.

Information like a torrent—information that could even crush a Taiyi—flooded into his mind, but to Jiang Yan, it was as easy as observing the lines on his own palm.

Jiang Yan understood everything...

His origins, the reason why they could not ascend, and even...

The root of the Day of Dharma Destruction.

All of this lay in him...

He, who had once founded Shushan, had spent his life stuck at the peak of Taiyi.

One day, he visited the Three Pure Ancestors and actually received their guidance.

As for why, he was not sure; perhaps it was a whim of the Three Pure Ancestors.

They used great magic power to seal Jiang Yan’s true spirit, causing him to obtain a trace of the Great Luo’s spiritual foundation through reincarnation.

And this spiritual foundation, in the long river of time, influenced a corner of the future.

Thus, the Day of Dharma Destruction appeared.

Jiang Yan understood everything...

The Day of Dharma Destruction was his own fault, and naturally, it should be resolved by him.

In a trance, Jiang Yan saw the Three Pure Ancestors seemingly reveal a hint of a gratified smile.

The next moment, Jiang Yan’s consciousness returned.

Looking at Klee, who was still looking at him curiously, Jiang Yan smiled.

"Have the people of the myriad worlds all arrived?"

Although she didn't know why Jiang Yan said this, Klee nodded.

"Does Master want to go out for a stroll?"

"No need..."

Jiang Yan stood up happily and opened his arms.

"Since this is a Mountain Opening Ceremony of such great significance, there should be an occasion that better showcases the might of my Shushan."

The next moment, the Great Luo Divine Light instantly covered the myriad worlds, and even extended upward, breaking the immortal path and resetting the decadent and desolate Immortal Realm as if time were flowing backward.

"This Mountain Opening Ceremony will be held in the Immortal Realm."

"Great Luo Dharma Decree, Ten Thousand Laws Return to One!"

The immeasurable Great Luo Divine Light pierced through the heavens and the earth; no matter where they were, everyone felt this supreme will descend.

Xiaotian, who was wandering in the long river of time of the lower realms, was instantly kicked out. Feeling the throbbing in his soul, Xiaotian wept tears of joy.

"The myth returns! The immortals rise again! Master! You are finally returning!"

Shushan Era, year ten thousand.

On this day, the Shushan Ancestor, former Sect Leader, Jiang Yan.

Ascended to Great Luo!

Shushan became the first holy land in the myriad worlds to be truly presided over by a Great Luo!

After countless powerhouses and supreme beings of the Immortal Realm revived, they flocked to Shushan to pay their respects, but they were met only by the three newly returned Shushan ancestors.

As for Jiang Yan...

Having become a Great Luo, he still had some fellow daoists to meet.

Taking his many dao companions and disciples, Jiang Yan arrived at the primordial land that conceptually did not exist and never changed.

Amidst the interweaving of countless Great Luo Divine Lights, Jiang Yan met the three Daoists whose faces remained hazy.

After staring at them for a long time, Jiang Yan happily opened his arms.

"Thank you, fellow daoists... My Dao is complete!"
