Chapter 113

After all, the space barriers of Teyvat are fragile, and the essence of the world is not high.

If not for the Heavenly Principles being an outsider, Teyvat would not have been able to produce even a single cultivator at the Spirit Refinement and Void Return stage.

With the capabilities of a Spirit Refinement and Void Return cultivator, resurrecting a few Teyvat immortals at the Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation stage is simply a piece of cake.

Jiang Yan had also noticed that the true spirits of the immortals had not dissipated.

It seemed they had been sheltered by Teyvat's Irminsul, which made things even simpler.

Come to think of it, Teyvat is truly a magical world.

It clearly has a low world level, yet it happens to possess so many things that can be called miraculous.

Could it be that Teyvat was once favored by a cultivator at the Void Refinement and Dao Integration stage?

Or to put it bluntly...

The Imaginary Tree?

Jiang Yan did not dwell on these matters; they had little to do with him.

Venti, Alice, and the others did not know what they were thinking, but Zhongli went about his own business, channeling his true essence into the disciple token.

The next moment, the entrance to the Shushan Cave Heaven appeared.

"Follow me inside."

With that, Zhongli stepped into the Shushan Cave Heaven first.

Venti and the others exchanged glances and followed closely behind Zhongli.

As soon as they entered, they were stunned by the vast, boundless Cave Heaven world.

Zhongli had just called it a Cave Heaven, so Alice had assumed it wouldn't be very large.

But now, even with her perception expanded to its limit, she could not find any boundaries.

"The methods of a cultivator are truly terrifying..."

Alice muttered, but Venti, unable to contain himself, immediately rode the flowing wind and began darting around in all directions.

From time to time, he would fly to the top of the Shushan main gate to look at those two profound characters.

The once cold and quiet Cave Heaven was suddenly made somewhat noisy by his antics.

"So big! So magical! And why does it feel like my power is starting to become active?"

"This is too incredible, is this what a cultivator is?"

"Alice, you've actually done something reliable for once."

Hearing this, Alice rolled her eyes.

If we're talking about being unreliable, this guy has no right to talk about her.

Zhongli released a burst of true essence, and in the distant sky, a line of white cranes instantly burst through the clouds and flew over, flapping their wings.

Zhongli ignored Venti and turned to look at Alice, who was standing quietly for once.

"The Shushan Cave Heaven is vast, comparable to the entire Teyvat continent. If you haven't learned the Sword Control Art, you can only rely on the white cranes to travel."

"These white cranes were brought back and carefully cultivated by the Sect Master; they are now developing into spirit beasts."

"The white cranes know many no-fly zones in Shushan, so it is best not to fly on your own until you are familiar with Shushan."

"For instance, on Tongtian Peak, no one except the Sect Master is allowed to fly. The same applies to the summits of the other seven peaks; except for the Sect Master, the Peak Masters, and the Elders, disciples are not permitted to fly on swords."

"Besides this, there are many dangers outside the seven peaks of Shushan."

"You should also be aware that the Sect Master has brought back many gods and their kin from the Dark Sea and the Quantum Sea to serve as training for the disciples."

"Rashly entering their territory is not much of a problem for you and Barbatos."

"But for this lady and Klee, it is still very dangerous."

"Additionally, you should rein in your talent for demolition; such recklessness is not allowed on Shushan."

"Otherwise, you will be suppressed by the Law Enforcement Hall and the Shushan Mountain Protection Array."

Alice scratched her cheek and muttered:

"It feels like you Shushan folks have so many rules."

"No circle can be drawn without a compass."

Zhongli said quietly:

"Cultivators themselves are already too free and easy, unwilling to follow the rules of heaven and earth."

"If one does not even follow the basic rules of the sect that preaches the Dao, there is a risk of becoming a demon."

Alice pursed her lips and said nothing.

Watching the white cranes that had already flown over, Alice blinked and said with a grin:

"So, if we ride on them, they can take us to the real Shushan?"

Zhongli nodded slightly, and an ancient flying sword flew out from his dantian and landed under his feet.

Zhongli stepped onto the flying sword leisurely and looked back at Alice and the others, who were somewhat bewildered, saying:

"Follow me."

"Wait!"

Alice suddenly became spirited and looked at Zhongli with anticipation.

"Morax... no, Zhongli, can you let me try flying on a sword too?"

"I've seen cultivators riding clouds and mist, flying on swords in other worlds; it's so dashing, I've wanted to try it for a long time."

"It's a pity my artificial flying sword never succeeded."

"Let me try! I want to fly on a sword too!"

Zhongli felt somewhat helpless.

"My Sword Control Art has just entered the introductory stage; carrying people might not be feasible. You'd better honestly ride the immortal cranes."

"Tch... stingy!"

Alice wrinkled her nose and added:

"Then let Klee experience it. I'm here this time to have Klee join the Shushan Sect."

"Let Klee experience it in advance."

Zhongli was silent for a moment, looking at Klee's expectant eyes, and for a time, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

After a long while, he sighed helplessly.

"Come over."

Klee cheered, immediately jumped off the back of the white crane, and climbed onto Zhongli's back.

Zhongli's mouth twitched.

The feeling of flying on a sword, which was quite dashing, was likely gone now.

However, she is just a child...

Satisfying her childhood is fine.

"If there are no other questions, then we shall set off."

"Ehe! Old man! Wait for me! I want to ride a white crane too!"

Venti instantly transformed into flowing wind and sat on the back of a white crane.

"Since you can fly freely, why go to such unnecessary trouble?"

Zhongli was somewhat helpless.

Venti blinked and said with a grin:

"I've wanted to ride Liushui and the others for a long time, but they wouldn't let me. Now that there are ready-made white cranes, consider it fulfilling a wish."

Zhongli was silent for a moment and flew off on his sword.

If Liuyun and the other crane-form immortals heard this, they would probably strike Venti with a Five-Thunder Strike.

"Old man, where are we going now? To see that Sect Master of your Shushan?"

Venti looked at Zhongli with anticipation. The latter glanced sideways and said quietly:

"The Sect Master is still cultivating, so I'm afraid he has no heart to receive you. Follow me to tour Shushan first. Besides..."

"Before coming to pick you up, I originally intended to go to the seaside to spar with those two gods at the peak of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation."

"Since you've come, you can just replace them as my opponents."

"It just so happens that my immortal arts still need someone to spar with."

Venti's expression stiffened, and he looked at Zhongli in disbelief.

This guy...

He's already a cultivator, yet he's still holding such a grudge? ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
