Chapter 1026

From the initial bewilderment to the current numb acceptance, heaven knows what Xiao Tian had experienced.

At the same time, Shushan also regained its former prosperity.

The Seven Saint Elders were all Earth Immortals, and Jiang Yan's personal disciples, Keqing, Miss Ganyu, Paimon, and the later disciples like Miss Kiana, Miss Durandal, Director Ruan Mei, and Miss Bai Lu, were all present.

Keqing had the highest cultivation, being at the early stage of Earth Immortal, while the others were basically at the late or peak stage of Refining Void to Join Dao.

The remaining heads of the seven Shushan branches were all at the peak of Refining Void to Join Dao, just one step away from becoming immortals.

The Shushan Inner Sect Elder Council had three hundred and seventy people at the Refining Void to Join Dao stage.

By this time, Secretary Baiwen and others who had joined Shushan at the very beginning had long since become members of the Elder Council.

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

Although Jiang Yan had many new partners over the years, Miss Ganyu and Miss Yae Miko had been with him the longest.

But the fact that they could not ascend could not be hidden forever.

Although the living beings in the lower realm were mostly panicked and uneasy, after Jiang Yan, as a Taiyi, stepped forward, the world naturally became peaceful.

The turmoil that should have erupted was instantly quelled.

If the sky fell, there would naturally be someone tall to hold it up; the former Shushan Sect Leader Jiang Yan was still there, and he had even reached the Taiyi realm in the lower realm.

For the living beings of the myriad worlds, it seemed it didn't matter where they became immortals, as long as they could still become immortals.

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

For ten whole years, the myriad worlds celebrated.

But Jiang Yan vaguely discovered...

His path had not reached its limit.

Taiyi...

Was still not his end point!

Ten thousand years into the Shushan era.

This year, Shushan created brilliance once again.

It was Jiang Yan's ten-thousandth birthday, and he had truly reached the summit in the narrow sense, the peak of Taiyi...

Afterward, Miss Ganyu, Miss Yae Miko, Secretary Baiwen, Miss Lisa, Miss Furina, Miss Taoyao, Miss Shenhe, Miss Huang Quan, Director Ruan Mei, and other new partners of Jiang Yan from early and late periods.

All resigned from their positions in Shushan and traveled to cultivate with Jiang Yan.

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

In addition, the heads of the seven Shushan branches were all inherited by the disciples of the original heads.

Unable to ascend for a long time, Shushan had developed to an unimaginable degree in the myriad worlds.

There were nearly two hundred Shushan Earth Immortals and fifteen Heaven Immortals.

However, those who should retire retired, and those who should wander wandered; there were very few immortal elders who stayed honestly in Shushan.

For example, Seeing Zhongli, who had just broken through to Heaven Immortal, took his old immortal friends and Miss Venti and others out to wander; only Jiang Yan knew where they went.

Otto, who had become an elder, could not stay idle either; he found a place, sealed his five senses, and went to create a world to have a grand dream of spring and autumn.

Over ten thousand years passed, and Otto became a peak Earth Immortal, but he never made any further progress with Miss Kallen.

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

Besides them, there were many, many others...

In the Shushan Supreme World, the myriad worlds now circled the seven branches of Shushan, and Jiang Yan was cultivating with his many partners in a hidden world at the peak of the seven branches.

This world was also known as the Small Immortal Realm, created by Jiang Yan after he reached Taiyi and could not ascend.

At this time, logically speaking, he had reached the summit of the myriad worlds and could not go any further.

But...

His aura was still slowly rising.

Jiang Yan did not know why, but perhaps, when he reached the summit, everything would have an answer.

"Master!"

Suddenly, Keqing's cheerful call, unique to her, rang out inside the world.

The next moment, the various immortal divine birds in the world were thrown into chaos.

Keqing was still the same Keqing; after achieving Heaven Immortal, with Jiang Yan's help, she recast her talent and became the one-and-only Five Elements Saint Body.

Now, over ten thousand years later, she was still a beautiful young girl.

In front of outsiders, she had become the cold and frosty Shushan Sect Leader, ruling Shushan for ten thousand years, longer than Jiang Yan had been the Sect Leader, with immense power.

But in front of Jiang Yan, she was still the lively and cute little one from before.

Of course, in the eyes of the divine birds, this Sect Leader was a troublemaker.

Miss Ganyu and the others opened their eyes, looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and their figures gradually faded, escaping into the dimensional rift to continue cultivating.

Jiang Yan, sitting in the dojo, smiled. Just as he opened his eyes, Keqing burrowed into his arms.

"You're so grown up, yet you still like to do this. If your disciples and the Shushan disciples saw you, they might be scared out of their minds."

Keqing, who had grown into a beautiful young woman, hugged Jiang Yan with a giggle.

"I haven't seen Master for a long time! It's been a whole day and an hour!"

"Where is Little Softie?"

The "Little Softie" Keqing spoke of was the biological daughter of Jiang Yan and Miss Alice, and also Keqing's younger sister.

Over these years, even though Jiang Yan had profound strength, it did not mean he had no offspring.

Miss Ganyu, Miss Yae Miko, Secretary Baiwen, Miss Taoyao, Miss Huang Quan, Director Ruan Mei, and Miss Alice had all given birth to children for Jiang Yan.

However, usually, the children were taken by the current Seven Saint Elders to cultivate.

Jiang Yan and the others were immortals, after all; being close to immortals without being an immortal oneself was not a good thing.

Although the children were born with the ability to refine spirit and return to void, currently, the only one who had become an immortal was Jiang Ranran, which was the "Little Softie" Keqing spoke of.

This child stayed by Miss Alice's side.

"Your mother took her to the past of Teyvat, saying she wanted to show her the Teyvat of the old era."

Keqing curled her lip.

"Now that she has Little Softie, Mother doesn't look for me anymore... Really, is it just because Keqing isn't Mother's biological daughter?"

Jiang Yan tapped Keqing on the head.

"Don't talk nonsense; if Miss Alice hears you, she'll lecture you again."

Keqing giggled and hugged Jiang Yan, kissing him.

"It doesn't matter! Keqing only needs Master."

"Speaking of which, Master, the Shushan Opening Ceremony is about to start again. I heard that Elder Seeing Zhongli's child is also old enough to come and worship at the mountain."

"They say his son has a divine body."

"Master, aren't you going to take a look?"

Jiang Yan said with amusement:

"Seeing Zhongli himself is out playing, and his son is completely free-range, raised by Master Wu Zhu. He doesn't even come back, so why should I go?"

"But this is the one-hundredth Shushan Opening Ceremony; it has great commemorative significance. Master should show his face."

Keqing looked at Jiang Yan with resentment.

"Where is Xiao Tian? Just let him go; I still need to cultivate."

"Xiao Tian is following Elder Seeing Zhongli and the others to wander and play; I can't contact him. Besides, Master is already at the peak of Taiyi, what else is there to cultivate!"

Keqing stared at Jiang Yan, pouting. Jiang Yan smiled and said softly:

"I always feel that the path ahead isn't broken, but... I just can't take that step."

"Great... Great Luo?"

Keqing looked at Jiang Yan in shock and asked, puzzled:

"But, isn't it true that one can only be born as a Great Luo?"

"That is also what puzzles me the most..."

Jiang Yan sighed. Keqing blinked and suddenly leaned into Jiang Yan's ear.

"Maybe Master's enlightenment isn't enough. Why not... dual cultivate with Keqing..."

Before she could finish, Jiang Yan patted Keqing on the head in annoyance.

"You little rascal."

"I'm not little! Keqing is almost ten thousand years old!"

Keqing stared at Jiang Yan with resentment and muttered: ===== CHAPTER 1027 =====
