Chapter 309

184. Shushan Demon-Locking Tower, Seventy-two Earthly Transformations

First to come into view is the boundless, churning sea of clouds.

Rolling and unfolding, it is like waves surging, magnificent and atmospheric.

Whether it is the refraction of the sun or some special immortal cultivation resource, it reflects colorful rosy light, dotted within the clouds.

Shining brilliantly.

From time to time, fleeting streamers of light shuttle past their sides.

The scenery of the land below gradually disappears into the sea of clouds.

Not long after, the rainbow bridge carries everyone through the sea of clouds and arrives above the clouds.

The strange and bizarre seven peaks shatter everyone's worldview.

From the middle of the mountainside, all seven peaks are above the sea of clouds, looking like seven immortal mountains floating in the sky.

All kinds of birds shuttle leisurely, the most conspicuous being the white immortal cranes.

Fluorescent light flickers; they don't look like they are flying, but rather floating in the sky.

In the distant sea of clouds, there are even huge fish swimming, leaping up and falling from time to time, setting off sky-high waves of clouds.

The halo of the dome is like an arc, surrounding the seven peaks of Shushan, never dispersing; this is the true immortal light.

Around the seven towering peaks of Shushan, there are countless floating islands drifting leisurely.

Like a Peach Blossom Spring holy land, the scenery is peerless; even if Zhongli and the others see it repeatedly, they still feel shocked.

Let alone these people who have never seen Shushan.

Seven towering peaks pierce the clouds; even piercing through the sea of clouds, one still cannot see their tops.

It is as if they are holding up the entire sky.

This scenery completely shatters and reorganizes the worldview of these thousand people.

From this moment on, they vaguely know what immortal cultivation represents.

Green mountains, pines and cypresses, bamboo waves, peach blossoms, snow peaks, deep canopies...

A scroll integrating all the scenery they have seen and haven't seen comes into view; this is a place that cannot be described in words.

Miko looks at the scenery with nostalgia and says softly:

"Beautiful, isn't it? No matter how many times I see it, the scenery of Shushan gives me a sense of shock and admiration that arises spontaneously."

Beidou nods slightly and says in a low voice:

"It is indeed a place that surpasses all beautiful scenery; in this place, even if you don't cultivate immortality, you can live longer with a happy mood."

"So..."

Miko looks back and blinks.

"Now you know how strong the Sect Master is, right?"

"What?"

Furina looks at Miko in confusion.

"Everything you see, including this world ten times the size of Teyvat, was created by the Sect Master."

"..."

For a time, everyone is shocked and speechless again.

Originally thinking they had imagined Jiang Yan's strength enough, who would have thought their imagination was ultimately lacking.

This is also reasonable.

How can a mortal heart imagine the supernatural powers of an immortal cultivation master?

I don't know how long it took, but the rainbow bridge shrinks, and everyone feels their feet on solid ground.

Looking back, it seems they are standing at the top of the world.

Directly opposite, not far away, is a towering and continuous group of halls.

Radiating precious light, it makes people feel awe.

"This is the symbol of Shushan, where the sect hall is located, and also where the Sect Master practices."

"Without permission, no one is allowed to fly here, otherwise they will be severely punished."

Xiao turns his head and warns solemnly.

Although these outer sect disciples, if they don't promote, won't even mention coming to the sect hall in their lives.

I fear they won't even see Jiang Yan a second time.

But there are still many inner sect disciples here.

He is mainly talking to these inner sect disciples.

Everyone nods repeatedly, keeping it in mind.

"The sect hall is the place where the Sect Master resides; no one is allowed to bring weapons here."

Xiao reminds everyone again, and immediately, Tartaglia and the others hurriedly take off their weapons and put them aside for safekeeping.

Xiao is satisfied that the disciples are sensible, and says again:

"Entering the sect hall, you must not be disheveled."

Everyone is a bit embarrassed and hurriedly tidies themselves up.

Furina mutters in her heart.

They haven't officially joined Shushan yet, haven't learned immortal cultivation, but have learned a bunch of rules.

Xiao checks everyone, confirms there is no problem, and walks back to Zhongli's side.

Zhongli nods slightly and bows.

"Sect Master, the thousand quasi-disciples of Shushan have been brought."

The gate of the sect hall opens with a boom, revealing the vast space inside.

In the middle, Jiang Yan sits cross-legged, with a huge Dao character shining brightly behind him.

"Hard work; the head elders and disciples of each peak, return to your positions."

"Yes!"

Zhongli responds loudly, then takes these people and swarms in.

Zhongli and Venti return to their seats and sit down naturally.

Ningguang and the others also find their positions as inner sect disciples of each peak and sit down.

Klee doesn't have so many rules; she hasn't spoken to Jiang Yan all morning, and now she misses him so much.

"Master!"

Taking short steps, Klee rushes toward Jiang Yan happily.

"Klee, do not disturb the Sect Master."

Alice stops Klee with a headache; now it is the final mountain-worship session of the mountain-opening ceremony.

Klee cannot be allowed to make trouble.

Klee pouts and looks at Jiang Yan aggrievedly.

The latter's mouth curls slightly, and he beckons gently.

"It's okay, Klee, come over."

Immediately, Klee makes a face at Alice, happily runs to Jiang Yan's side, sits down, and looks at Jiang Yan with her head tilted.

Jiang Yan laughs dumbly, rubs Klee's head, and stuffs a few middle-grade spirit stones into her hand.

Ningguang and the others are helpless.

They have to try every means to complete the Merit Hall tasks to earn contribution points to exchange for spirit stones.

Klee is good; she just acts like a spoiled child, says nothing, and Jiang Yan gives her a pile.

It is indeed better to be a biological disciple.

Hu Tao and the others look at Klee curiously, only then remembering what Baiwen said before.

This little guy is the only true disciple of the Sect Master.

That is to say...

Could she be the next Shushan Sect Master?

They click their tongues in their hearts, but don't look too much.

They can only wait quietly for Jiang Yan's arrangement.

Jiang Yan settles Klee, looks up and looks around at everyone, his gaze staying on Furina for a moment. ===== CHAPTER 310 =====
