Chapter 1025

While countless people were still speculating about when Jiang Yan would finally become an immortal.

Jiang Yan had already ascended...

971. Let's race to see who becomes a Golden Core first

Shushan.

Atop Tongtian Peak, Jiang Yan was sitting and discussing the Dao with Xiao Tian.

Nearby, Miss Keqing, Miss Ganyu, and the others were cultivating diligently, supported by the massive amount of resources provided by Jiang Yan.

It was likely that Jiang Yan's rapid cultivation speed and his ascension had stimulated them.

Although it was currently impossible to ascend to the Immortal Realm, who could say for sure...

If it suddenly became possible to ascend later, Jiang Yan would definitely leave.

Miss Ganyu and the others did not want to be separated from Jiang Yan for too long.

Xiao Tian drained the wine in the golden goblet before him, which radiated immortal power, and lay on the ground with a look of contentment.

"So... it's a good thing that the Jade Emperor and the others are gone."

"Even at the Peach Banquet of the past, only great beings like my Master could drink this Jade Nectar. Occasionally, Master would give me a sip; in my memory, that must have been several tens of millions of years ago."

"Jiang Yan, kid, give me another Flat Peach."

Jiang Yan glanced at Xiao Tian and tossed him another three-striped Flat Peach.

"Comfortable... these days are on par with those at Guanjiangkou."

The Howling Celestial Dog rolled over and lay down in a relaxed manner.

"Speaking of which, are you really not going to manage the struggles in the lower realm?"

"I have already forbidden them from fighting within Shushan. Now that the cultivation world is reviving, appropriate conflict is a good thing."

Jiang Yan paused, then added:

"As long as these conflicts do not involve the Shushan world, it is fine. The various spirit clans, various factions, and even the internal factions of the spirit clans themselves have many disagreements."

"No matter how I demand it, it is ultimately impossible to make them live in harmony."

"It is better to appropriately relax some restrictions."

Xiao Tian curled his lip and did not respond.

"Speaking of which, I also have something I want to ask you."

Jiang Yan looked at Xiao Tian and said softly:

"The Primordial World is blatantly using the names of various great gods; it is impossible that the Immortal Realm does not know. Why has there been no reaction?"

"Don't you already know the answer?"

Xiao Tian rolled his eyes.

"A certain Great Luo had nothing better to do and created a script for himself. People are having fun playing with it, so what can we do?"

"As expected... which Great Luo is it?"

Xiao Tian pondered for a moment and said softly:

"Strictly speaking, it is not any one Great Luo. After all, even the Three Pure Ancestors could not create a script involving so many Great Luos in one go."

"According to our guesses, it should have been a script created by a group of Great Luos gathering together when they had nothing to do a very, very long time ago."

"However, this has nothing to do with us; it is just their form of entertainment."

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So, what is the attitude of the Great Luos toward the Primordial World?"

"They just let it be."

Xiao Tian shrugged.

"The Great Luos are not so bored every day that they have to pay attention to a few mere middle-thousand or great-thousand worlds."

"You think too much. The Great Luos will not casually involve themselves with ordinary people. To them, we are simply not the same kind of life."

"Instead of thinking about the affairs of the Great Luos, you should think about how to handle the Lightning Tribulation."

"In the short term, we have no way to ascend to the upper realm."

Jiang Yan smiled, sensed the system deep within his soul, and said softly:

"I already have a way. Rest assured, it will not affect the lower realm."

Xiao Tian looked up at Jiang Yan and said meaningfully:

"It seems you have quite a few secrets."

"Who doesn't have a few secrets?"

Jiang Yan shook his head and said softly:

"In any case, you don't need to worry about cultivation matters. When the time comes, you will understand."

"Hey! Jiang Yan, kid."

Xiao Tian stood up and looked at Jiang Yan seriously.

"Let's have a race..."

"Let's see if I break through to Jin Xian first, or if you..."

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow and said softly:

"I am only at the early stage of Earth Immortal, and you are already at the peak of Heaven Immortal. Do you think that is fair?"

"Why wouldn't it be fair?"

Xiao Tian stared deeply at Jiang Yan.

"Even for my Master, it took over a thousand years to go from mortal to immortal, even with being born with the ability to refine spirit and return to void."

"Since the development of the Immortal Realm, I have never seen anyone go from mortal to immortal in less than a hundred years."

Jiang Yan smiled inexplicably and nodded:

"Fine!"

972. Great Luo Divine Light, my Dao is complete

After the system revived, Jiang Yan's confusion about not being able to ascend to the upper realm remained unanswered.

But at this moment, the answer to the question was no longer important. Just as the Shushan Ancestor said, keep moving forward, and you will always find the answer.

And while the various factions in the Shushan world began to surge with undercurrents, Jiang Yan and Xiao Tian made a Jin Xian pact.

From then on, Jiang Yan's cultivation speed not only did not slow down because of becoming an immortal, but continued to grow stronger at a speed that shocked Xiao Tian into silence.

Fifty years after becoming an immortal, Jiang Yan broke through to the middle stage of Earth Immortal; one hundred and ten years later, the late stage of Earth Immortal.

Three hundred years later, when the first of the Seven Saint Elders, Immortal Fu Hua, reached the late stage of Refining Void to Join Dao.

Jiang Yan became a Heaven Immortal...

At this time, Xiao Tian had just recovered to the peak strength of a Heaven Immortal.

Jiang Yan's breakthrough speed was getting faster and faster.

Until Immortal Fu Hua achieved the peak of Refining Void to Join Dao, which took a thousand years, and Immortal Fu Hua also became the peak of Refining Void to Join Dao, while Xiao Tian remained stuck at the peak of Heaven Immortal.

Jiang Yan had already caught up and surpassed Xiao Tian, stifling this competition in the present.

In the 1,432nd year of the Shushan calendar, Jiang Yan reached the realm of Jin Xian.

At this time, the strongest person in the Shushan world was still at the peak of Refining Void to Join Dao.

Xiao Tian had been completely crushed by Jiang Yan's talent; he was depressed for ten years and locked himself in his cave-heaven, refusing to see anyone.

Finally, it was only after Jiang Yan gave him a Golden Core to break through to Jin Xian that he figured it out.

Becoming an immortal in a hundred years and achieving Jin Xian in less than fifteen hundred years—he would have to be crazy to compare himself to such a person.

Having figured it out, Xiao Tian immediately relaxed and decided to just ride the coattails of the strong.

Time continued to pass. After Jiang Yan achieved Jin Xian, his breakthrough speed slowed down a lot, but in Xiao Tian's eyes, it was still terrifyingly fast.

Five thousand years later, on Jiang Yan's 6,500th birthday.

This year, the Shushan Seven Saint Elders successively became immortals, and Jiang Yan...

In the lower realm, became a Taiyi!

From this day on, Shushan reached the peak realm.

Taiyi, reaching the summit of the heavens, is supreme even in the Immortal Realm, second only to the Great Luo.

Xiao Tian was already numb.

Think about it carefully: even the youngest Taiyi in the Immortal Realm was over a hundred million years old. Jiang Yan's age was not even a fraction of theirs. ===== CHAPTER 1026 =====
