Chapter 137

"That peerless prodigy with the Ten Thousand Sects Profound Yellow Body relied on his peerless Divine Body, didn't pay attention to cultivation, and indulged in the pursuit of ordinary people."

"Admittedly, he finally ascended to become an immortal."

"So what?"

"After reaching the upper realm, geniuses like him were everywhere, and there were countless geniuses stronger than him."

"He was just one of the countless immortals, an immortal with some talent."

"At that time, he regretted it, but his own will had already decayed, and inner demons were born."

"Relying on the help of the upper realm sect, he barely solved it, and he began to strive for self-improvement."

"He worked hard for countless kalpas and finally achieved the status of a Heavenly Immortal."

"Honorably..."

"Became one of the one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers who blocked Sun Wukong from causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace."

Hearing this, a cruelty unique to the cultivation world surged into everyone's hearts.

Talent is ultimately bestowed by heaven, but cultivators are confident that fate is in their own hands.

No matter how good the talent is, if there is no will to control the talent, it is just another story of "Zhong Yong."

Throughout the heavens, geniuses with excellent talent are everywhere.

Could it be that these geniuses can easily become immortals and become great powers?

Thinking this through, everyone felt their thinking suddenly open up.

They cupped their hands in unison:

"Thank you, Sect Master, for your teaching."

Jiang Yan was a bit relieved to see them understand so quickly, nodded slightly, and said:

"It's good that you understand. In the future, when you go to the Scripture Pavilion, you should also read more stories from the cultivation world."

"These will also be treasures that improve your state of mind. In the Scripture Pavilion, there is no jade talisman that is useless."

"For now, if the disciples have nothing else to do, disperse. Cultivate well these few days and prepare for the Nine Nether Secret Realm exploration in a few days."

"Peak Master Zhongli, take Peak Master Venti and the others to the Scripture Pavilion. After they take the techniques they like, take them for a tour and settle them down."

"As for Elder Alice... considering Klee is still young and needs someone to take care of her, she will temporarily reside on Tongtian Peak."

"However, the daily patrol of the Law Enforcement Hall must be done."

"On this point, you should also convey the rules of the Law Enforcement Hall to Elder Alice."

After saying this, Jiang Yan closed his eyes and prepared to cultivate.

Seeing this, everyone said no more, stood up, said goodbye one by one, and left the sect's great hall.

The group did not fly rashly; only after leaving the top of Tongtian Peak did they say goodbye to each other and go back to deal with their own affairs.

Not long after, only Zhongli, Venti, and the others were left here.

Venti looked back at the sect's great hall and blinked at Zhongli.

"Old man, should I call you Peak Master Zhongli from now on?"

Zhongli's mouth twitched, and he shook his head:

"Forget it, I feel a bit uncomfortable with you calling me that."

"You are the Peak Master of Chaoyang Peak, and your status is the same as mine; you don't have to call me Peak Master."

"Alice, you too."

Venti smiled and spread his hands:

"That's true. Although Shushan has many rules, looking at the Sect Master, he doesn't seem like an unreasonable person."

"He shouldn't care about these small things."

Zhongli shook his head and said softly:

"For the Sect Master, one must still show corresponding respect."

"Of course."

Venti nodded and urged:

"Old man, let's go see the Scripture Pavilion quickly, and then we have to tour Shushan. I still need to go back to Chaoyang Peak to see."

"The Sect Master asked me and Shaoyue to rebuild the Star-Plucking Tower as soon as possible, and I have no clue."

Zhongli took out several flying swords and handed them to Venti and the others.

"These are the standard flying swords for Shushan disciples. Before you learn to fly with swords, these flying swords will carry you automatically."

"As for the Sword Control Art, I will teach it to you later."

After all, Jiang Yan's lecture time had passed, and he wouldn't break the rules just because of new disciples and lecture again this week.

He could only let Zhongli teach it on his behalf.

Anyway, the Sword Control Art itself was not difficult; as long as they learned the incantation, with their talent, they would likely master it in no time.

As for subsequent refinement, that was not a matter of a day or two.

"Let's go, follow me to the Scripture Pavilion first, and I will tell you some things about techniques on the way."

"I have already entered once this week, so I cannot accompany you inside."

"Once inside, everything depends on yourselves."

Saying this, Zhongli took everyone and hurried toward the Scripture Pavilion.

In the sect's great hall.

Jiang Yan also finished organizing the harvest of the past few days.

The artifact refining and alchemy materials were temporarily stored in the Shushan Treasury, to be used when needed.

The rest, which were somewhat useful to him,

were nothing more than the massive amount of Primogems, the equipment Alice brought back from other worlds, and the essential power of time in Venti.

Primogems were easy to deal with; Jiang Yan had already figured them out yesterday.

They were nothing more than the condensation of will. With the amount Ningguang gave yesterday, plus the amount Ningguang just brought in today,

it was enough for Jiang Yan to improve his divine sense cultivation.

The equipment Alice brought back from other worlds was of high quality, and there was no lack of items comparable to spirit artifacts.

They only needed to be re-refined to open their spirituality.

Then they could be stored in the Shushan Treasury, waiting for Ningguang to set up the contribution point system later.

These things could be used as exchange items in the Merit Hall.

As for keeping them for himself...

Jiang Yan had the top-tier spirit artifact Primordial Jade Cutter, and now the top-tier treasure World-Purifying Glazed Bottle.

It could attack, defend, and save people; basically, his configuration was full.

The most important thing was that trace of essential power stained with the power of time in Venti.

Running the Huang Ting Jing, he instantly stripped away Venti's own power.

In Jiang Yan's palm, only a trace of the breath of time remained.

It jumped in his palm, causing ripples in the surrounding space.

But this quality and quantity of time power were useless to Jiang Yan.

With a roll of true essence, the breath of time was collected into his Sea of Consciousness.

Endless Dao rhymes dismantled the breath of time, stripping the cocoon to replicate and display its essence one by one.

I don't know how much time passed, but Jiang Yan's boiling divine sense gradually calmed down.

He slowly opened his eyes and sighed inexplicably.

"Ultimately, it is the time power of a small world; there are some gains, but... it's better than nothing."

This time power was of low quality; calling it time was not as good as calling it the power of a space-time loop.

If you say there are gains, Jiang Yan, who most wanted to explore the secrets of time with this trace of time power, couldn't do it at all.

If you say there are no gains...

Jiang Yan could now control part of the flow of time in Teyvat.

But Teyvat was ultimately a small world, let alone Jiang Yan.

Even Zhongli and the others might not continue to toss around in Teyvat for long.

They would ultimately have to leave.

This power was chicken ribs, but it wasn't that chicken ribs.

Overall, it was still a bit useful.
