Chapter 394

~7 min read 1,326 words

"Although I've only cultivated for a short week, and my family knows I'm cultivating immortality, I still have to go back and tell them in person."

"Yeah! There are still some things that need to be arranged; only after arranging them can I cultivate immortality with peace of mind."

"Sigh... My mother's health at home isn't very good. Now that I'm lucky enough to cultivate immortality, I should naturally go back and adjust my mother's body."

Many disciples were communicating excitedly, and Jiang Yan felt a bit of relief in his eyes.

Shushan today already had the momentum of great prosperity, which was not in vain for his hard work for so long.

After a while, seeing Jiang Yan about to speak again, Xiao mobilized his true essence and said in a deep voice:

"Disciples, silence!"

Xiao, the senior disciple of Dragon Head Peak, spoke, and the noisy sound stopped abruptly.

If you ask who these disciples fear most in Shushan.

That's not Jiang Yan.

After all, Outer Sect disciples couldn't see Jiang Yan, and Inner Sect disciples knew Jiang Yan had a gentle personality and was very good to them, so there was more reverence.

But Xiao...

In the eyes of Shushan disciples, he was an impartial law enforcer.

Even if the Head Seat made a mistake, he dared to punish them according to the rules of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Xiao's reputation could stop children from crying in Shushan.

Xiao was quite satisfied with this.

Since he was the senior disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, he had to shoulder the responsibility of supervising Shushan disciples.

Jiang Yan looked at Xiao and continued:

"Since the Sect Opening Ceremony until today, the disciples have also joined Shushan for a week."

"Although there may not be much progress in cultivation, I think you have already initially understood the path of cultivating immortality."

"I know you have the heart to show off your cultivation power in front of people, but you must stop at a proper point."

"Cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao is not to let you get carried away and be arrogant."

"The long immortal path has only just begun for you. If you are arrogant because of this, you are not worthy of being a Shushan disciple."

"After settling secular matters, return to Shushan as soon as possible to continue cultivation."

"Do you understand?"

To put it bluntly, Jiang Yan was telling the disciples that showing off was fine; he could understand.

Having finally been able to cultivate immortality, how could they not show off properly?

However, showing off couldn't be too much.

Cultivating immortality is for seeking the Dao, not for showing off.

This time, letting them go back was nothing more than visiting secular family members, settling secular affairs, and then returning to cultivate immortality properly.

After all, during the Sect Opening Ceremony before, they weren't sure if they could join Shushan.

Many things were not arranged in time.

Only by arranging these things first could they have the heart to cultivate properly.

"Disciples obey the Sect Master's decree."

The uniform shouting made Jiang Yan nod with satisfaction.

Then, Jiang Yan said again:

"After you return, in one month, the Nine Nether Secret Realm will reopen, and Shushan's first Secret Realm Exploration Conference will begin."

"In three months, the Shushan Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition will be held, and by then, the Inner and Outer Sect disciple ladder rankings will be released."

"Show the immortal style of our Shushan."

"Disciples, remember, you must not let secular affairs affect your cultivation."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, feeling a sense of urgency while looking forward to the subsequent Secret Realm Exploration Conference and the Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition.

Not to mention anything else, if their strength was insufficient during the Nine Nether Secret Realm exploration, they would just be beaten out after a stroll.

That would be too embarrassing.

Seeing that everything that needed to be said had been said, Jiang Yan simply didn't let them waste any more time here.

"You can pack your things and return to the secular world; remember, do not indulge in the secular red dust."

"Disciples obey."

As the words fell, thousands of streams of light scattered in all directions.

If you grabbed anyone to look, you could see the ecstasy on their faces.

Next, it was truly returning home in glory.

Jiang Yan was planning to go back to continue cultivation when he was suddenly stopped by Zhongli.

"Sect Master, I have something to discuss with you."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan looked at Zhongli with interest and said softly:

"What is the matter, Head Seat Zhongli? Is it about the Demon-Locking Tower?"

Zhongli pursed his lips and shook his head:

"It's not the Demon-Locking Tower, nor is it a big deal."

"Since the Sect Master descended to Teyvat, you have been in Jueyun Karst, and later, for the prosperity of Shushan, you have never left Shushan."

"Now that Shushan is gradually becoming prosperous, I think the Sect Master should also take a proper rest and relax."

"Cultivation is important, but I think that reaching the Sect Master's level, the state of mind is even more important."

"Why doesn't the Sect Master go to Liyue to tour and relax?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan fell silent for a moment.

Honestly speaking, he had been in Teyvat for so long, and he had truly never left Jueyun Karst and this Shushan area.

That is to say, he went to the Dark Outer Sea and took a stroll in the Quantum Sea.

But that was also to handle official business and catch some Outer Sect Elders.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Yan had indeed never toured Teyvat with a relaxed and leisurely mindset.

Now that he was approaching the Refinement of Void and Integration of Dao, constant hard cultivation hadn't made much progress.

Relaxing was also a good idea.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

"Very well, when your Rite of Descension is held, Head Seat Zhongli, I will go to Liyue Harbor to observe the ceremony."

Hearing this, even Zhongli was a bit happy, and he bowed:

"Thank you, Sect Master. Since that is the case, I will take my leave to prepare, and I will inform the Sect Master before it is held."

After saying that, Zhongli turned into a rainbow light and left.

On Tongtian Peak, only Jiang Yan was left.

Looking at the beautiful scenery of Shushan, Jiang Yan felt a bit emotional.

Shushan today could be considered prosperous, and he should indeed take a rest.

Liyue Harbor...

It was time to go and see it.

By then, he could also take a walk with Ganyu and see the place where she had worked for a thousand years; Ganyu would surely be very happy too.

Jiang Yan smiled, turned and entered the Sect Main Hall, the doors closed with a boom, and Jiang Yan fell back into cultivation.

This time returning to Teyvat, Ningguang and the others were not very interested.

After all, they had just gone back to take a look a few days ago, and the matters in Liyue had already been arranged.

In one month is the Nine Nether Secret Realm exploration, and in three months is the Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition.

They still wanted to seize every moment to cultivate.

Tartaglia and the others had the same idea; Tighnari and Alhaitham didn't intend to go back.

Sumeru was a bit chaotic, unlike Mondstadt, Liyue, and other countries.

This kind of chaos involved internal political struggles; for the time being, Tighnari and Alhaitham had no interest in getting involved.

Simply staying in Shushan to continue cultivation.

Tartaglia wanted to stay, but considering that Zhongli's Gnosis was in his hand and the Tsaritsa had already arrived in Liyue, she was probably waiting for him.

Tartaglia could only bitter-facedly go and finish the business first.

Others also had their own plans.

But no matter what...
