Chapter 398

"I don't know how strong immortals are, anyway, it wouldn't take much effort for the Sect Master to create a Teyvat."

The Tsaritsa and the others looked at each other, recorded this information, and nodded to signal Tartaglia to continue.

"The Sect Master has a gentle personality; according to Liuyun and the others who joined Shushan earliest, they have never seen the Sect Master get angry."

"As for the others, I don't know much."

Tartaglia shook his head.

"Although I am an Inner Sect disciple, the Sect Master is busy cultivating, and it's not like anyone can see him every day; however, I heard that Ganyu in Liyue has a good relationship with the Sect Master."

"Except for the Sect Master's personal disciple Klee, the divine body possessor Ying and Paimon, only Ganyu can see the Sect Master every day."

"Other disciples' matters mostly have to be reported to Head Seats and Elders first."

"I don't know other news; the Law Enforcement Hall strictly forbids private discussion of the Sect Master, and my senior brother Xiao is watching very closely."

"He is a powerhouse at the peak of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation, and has a spiritual artifact; his comprehensive combat power can probably easily suppress a top-tier god."

"For the Sect Master, my senior brother is very respectful; anyone who mentions the Sect Master privately, if he finds out, will be punished."

"Even Head Seat Venti is very afraid of him."

The Tsaritsa narrowed her eyes slightly and recorded these names of Tartaglia's carefully.

"Fortunately, we didn't have a conflict with Liyue; that Miss Ganyu, probably..."

Signora sighed emotionally, and before she finished speaking, Tartaglia glared at her.

"Don't talk nonsense! Involving

"The Demon-Locking Tower?"

The Cryo Archon looked at Tartaglia with great interest.

"What kind of place is the Demon-Locking Tower?"

"It is the symbol of Shushan's martial power, and it imprisons the six great Demon Emperors at the peak of Void Refinement and Dao Integration."

"There are also countless demons of various realms, and they are all the kind of demons that wreak havoc on the world and commit endless slaughter."

"According to the Sect Leader, those six great Demon Emperors once blood-sacrificed dozens of small worlds, and it was only after Shushan paid a huge price that they were suppressed."

The Cryo Archon was stunned for a moment, then gasped.

"What the hell? Such a dangerous existence is here in Teyvat right now?!"

Blood-sacrificing dozens of small worlds, doesn't that mean...

If any one of those Demon Emperors were to come out, could they destroy the entire Teyvat in minutes?

No!

You wouldn't even need a Demon Emperor; an existence at the Spirit Refinement and Void Return stage would suffice.

At the thought of several such big bombs buried under the world beneath her feet, the Cryo Archon felt terrible.

"There's nothing to worry about regarding that; the Demon-Locking Tower is an immortal-tier pagoda refined by the Golden Immortal ancestors."

"Cultivators at the Void Refinement and Dao Integration stage simply cannot get out."

Tartaglia shook his head, his face full of longing as he said:

"Moreover, although the Demon-Locking Tower is very dangerous, one day outside is one year inside; the inscription of such time-law power makes it an extremely powerful place for cultivation."

"Head Seat Zhongli has always hoped to go in for a period of cultivation; it is said that he wants to take revenge on the Azure Wind Bull, one of the Seven Kings of the Nine Netherworlds."

237. The Cryo Archon is stunned: Did Tartaglia really choose a demonic art?

Every story Tartaglia told sounded like a fantasy to the Cryo Archon and the other two.

It was incomprehensible, yet the news was deeply captivating.

The cruelty and dominance of the Seven Kings of the Nine Netherworlds, and Zhongli inheriting the blood feud of Xuan Xing, determined to seek revenge and wash away the shame.

The endless demonic cultivators of the Xuanming small world.

The terrifying world-harming demons inside the Demon-Locking Tower.

These stories completely opened up a new world for the Cryo Archon and her companions, thoroughly shattering their original worldview.

At this moment, the stories from Liyue's cultivation novels were reflected in reality.

Bizarre and grotesque, yet full of longing.

After talking for a long time, Tartaglia felt a bit parched, so he picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.

The Cryo Archon sighed wistfully and said softly:

"The magnificence of Shushan far exceeds our imagination. I truly hope to join Shushan and see that graceful and charming holy land of cultivation with my own eyes."

Having said that, the Cryo Archon paused and suddenly looked up at Tartaglia.

"The spirit stones you mentioned..."

Hearing this, Rosalyne and Arlecchino also perked up, looking at Tartaglia with anticipation.

The latter's face stiffened, and he laughed it off, saying:

"That... actually..."

"Actually, I don't have many either..."

Tartaglia carefully covered his pocket.

Heaven is his witness, he had only saved up a few hundred low-grade spirit stones so far, and that wasn't even enough for a few days of his own cultivation.

Spirit stones were Tartaglia's life; this stuff absolutely could not be given to others.

"Look at how stingy you are."

The Cryo Archon shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I just wanted to see this kind of cultivation resource used exclusively by cultivators; I'm not cultivating, so I don't need this stuff."

Tartaglia quietly breathed a sigh of relief, touched his head awkwardly, and handed the Cryo Archon a spirit stone.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I don't have many spirit stones either, and they are essential resources for us to speed up our cultivation."

The Cryo Archon nodded slightly, took the spirit stone, and felt it for a moment.

Immediately, that pure-to-the-extreme energy made her feel a bit dazed.

Even if she didn't cultivate, absorbing this stuff directly would likely allow her strength to continue to improve.

For a moment, the Cryo Archon didn't even want to return it to Tartaglia.

Tartaglia, on the side, saw the Cryo Archon clutching the spirit stone and couldn't help but feel anxious, hurriedly coughing a few times.

The Cryo Archon came back to her senses and gave him a helpless look.

"Look at how stingy you are, I was just looking at it, here, take it back."

Tartaglia hurriedly took it back like a treasure and laughed it off:

"Wait until I go explore the Nine Netherworlds Secret Realm and earn more contribution points; I'll exchange them for some spirit stones for you, Your Majesty."

"The Nine Netherworlds Secret Realm?"

The Cryo Archon didn't care about Tartaglia's words; instead, she frowned and stared at him.

"You want to go to the Nine Netherworlds Secret Realm? How reckless! You are merely at the mid-stage of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation, and even Morax and the others were seriously injured when they went there."

"What are you going in there for? You are currently the only inner-sect disciple of Snezhnaya; you cannot treat your own life as a joke!"

Honestly, Tartaglia was indeed excessively strong now.

The Cryo Archon felt he could exchange a few blows with her in her prime.

But...

No matter how strong, he was still just at the mid-stage of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation.

In the Nine Netherworlds, he would be nothing but cannon fodder.

The Seven Kings of the Nine Netherworlds are all at the peak of Qi Refinement and Spirit Transformation.

Even Zhongli and the others would die in one move if they faced them.

What right or ability does Tartaglia have to go in there and take risks?

"This was decided by the Sect Leader."

Tartaglia shook his head, his gaze firm.

"One month from now, the Nine Netherworlds Secret Realm exploration assembly will begin, and all disciples must enter to explore."

"Moreover, the Nine Netherworlds Secret Realm has methods left behind by our ancestors; once seriously injured, one will be immediately sent to the entrance of the Nine Netherworlds Secret Realm."

"The Sect Leader said that in the past, Shushan was the leader of the cultivation world, and all Shushan disciples walking outside were geniuses."

"Shushan disciples should forge their own invincible paths."

"Furthermore, I need the resources of the Nine Netherworlds Secret Realm to exchange for contribution points; I need a lot, a lot of resources."

"I must go to the Nine Netherworlds Secret Realm!"
