Chapter 450

"Your speed of becoming an immortal will be faster than my speed of breaking through to Spirit Refinement and Void Return."

"Once you become an immortal, you might ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"By then, if we want to meet again, it might take tens of thousands of years."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly, no longer resisting Miko, and gently comforted her behind her back.

Miko said softly:

"But you are willing to wait for Sister Ganyu, why are you unwilling to wait for me?"

"Is it because I have the Heavenly Charm Physique? I can take a Dao oath: in this life, I will only have you as my man—it was so before, and it will be so in the future."

Jiang Yan shook his head.

"There is no need for that. I don't doubt you on this matter; I know what kind of person you are."

"Since that is the case..."

Miko raised her head and stared straight at Jiang Yan.

"Have me, and then... please wait for me as well."

"For your sake, I will definitely become an immortal..."

For a cultivator, there was no sentence more lethal than this one from Miko.

Jiang Yan gently cupped Miko's face, looking at her gaze filled with expectation.

This time, Jiang Yan did not refuse again.

He nodded and said softly:

"Alright."

Having said that, the two pressed tightly together, and Miko tried to secretly undo the Purple-Gold Dragon-Binding Belt again.

That familiar purple aura did not appear again.

The Heavenly Charm Physique, encountered once in ten thousand years, would be thoroughly evolved today.

Although past Heavenly Charm Physiques had often manipulated male cultivators through charm, Miko preferred to be Su Daji.

Although she also used the Heavenly Charm Physique to charm King Zhou of Shang, in the end, it was a love-driven conclusion.

The Heavenly Charm Physique does not make one fickle; it was just that the reputation it bore had been stigmatized by the cultivation world.

Under the Enlightenment Tea Tree and the Bodhi Tree of Inquiry, smelling that fragrance carrying the Dao rhyme, his cultivation, which had been stagnant at 5.8, began to slowly improve again.

However, at the critical juncture of waiting to welcome the unification of the primordial spirit and the breakthrough in cultivation.

Jiang Yan's Sect Master token suddenly lit up.

Jiang Yan stopped his movements and reached out to summon the Sect Master token into his hand.

After checking it, he understood in his heart.

He immediately stood up, and with a thought, the Daoist robe that had just scattered returned neatly to his body.

Miko opened her mouth slightly, looking at Jiang Yan in confusion.

Before Miko could ask, Jiang Yan explained patiently:

"Head Seat Zhongli has something to discuss with me. You should rest for a while first."

"Rest? But we haven't even started yet."

Miko looked at Jiang Yan resentfully, and the latter chuckled and pinched Miko's nose.

"Wait for me in my cave dwelling for a moment; I'll go handle some affairs first."

For Jiang Yan, Shushan's affairs were still more urgent.

He wasn't really a guy from the Hehuan Sect who only cared about dual cultivation.

Miko's expression was a bit depressed, and she turned to the side and nodded slightly; that beautiful curve actually made Jiang Yan feel a bit tempted.

Miko also saw this and immediately said with a smile:

"Since the Sect Master also wants to taste the Heavenly Charm Physique, then please be quick."

Jiang Yan smiled and turned to walk toward the Sect Hall.

Until Jiang Yan's figure disappeared, Miko covered her face with shyness and lay down.

"This time... it really was bold enough."

"But... it felt much better than I imagined..."

267. Zhongli: Ganyu, are you outside? Then who is in the cave dwelling with the Sect Master?

On the way to the Sect Hall, Jiang Yan was still thinking about Miko.

Although he didn't have much obsession with such things, Miko's peerless allure...

As long as he didn't practice the Unfeeling Dao, it was impossible to ignore.

With the charming little fox waiting for him in the cave dwelling, Jiang Yan felt a rare sense of urgency.

With a flash, he immediately sat on the Sect Master's seat in the Sect Hall.

Zhongli had been waiting on the side for a long time.

Seeing Jiang Yan appear, he bowed and said:

"Greetings, Sect Master."

"Head Seat Zhongli, no need for formalities. What brings you to me?"

Hearing this, Zhongli immediately said:

"I just went to Liyue for a meeting and confirmed that I will officially announce my abdication at the Rite of Descension three days from now."

"From then on, I will focus wholeheartedly on cultivation and fulfill my duties as the Head Seat of Dragon Head Peak."

Hearing him say this, Jiang Yan felt a bit gratified and nodded, saying:

"In that case, Head Seat Zhongli has indeed sacrificed a lot."

"This is as it should be."

Zhongli didn't say much more and continued:

"I would like to invite the Sect Master to go to Liyue in three days. Since the Sect Master descended until now, you have never left Jueyun Karst or Shushan."

"I imagine the Sect Master should also go out for a walk."

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Head Seat Zhongli's words are indeed true. Since that is the case, I will go to observe the ceremony in three days."

"Thank you, Sect Master. Liyue will arrange all the hospitality work."

Zhongli felt a bit of joy in his heart and then added:

"Besides that, for this Rite of Descension, I will have the Fatui Harbingers from Snezhnaya, Rosalyne and Arlecchino, help me release Osial and Beisht."

"This matter still needs to be told to the Sect Master in advance, so as to avoid the Sect Master dealing with them by the way."

Jiang Yan realized and said lightly:

"Head Seat Zhongli wants to use these two gods as a test for Liyue's human governance?"

"Generally speaking, yes."

Zhongli nodded slightly.

"Besides that, it is also a way to show our strength."

"Moreover, when the Sect Master arrives, I believe all cultivators will rush over."

"By then, the Sect Master can also see how the Shushan cultivators in Liyue are progressing in their cultivation."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan shook his head and laughed.

"Mere two gods, and gods whose strength plummeted after their seals were lifted at that."

"Let alone you, Head Seat Zhongli, even Xiao and Ganyu and the others could easily defeat them, and Liuyun and the others would find it extremely easy as well."

"Eight or nine times out of ten, it won't serve any testing purpose."

Zhongli admitted it without surprise.

"I had anticipated this long ago, but I will require Liuyun and the others not to intervene if they are at the late stage of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation or above."

"This battle will be left to Liyue's martial arts troops and outer sect disciples, as well as inner sect disciples like Ningguang and the others who are below the late stage of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation."

"In this way, it should be able to serve some testing purpose."

Jiang Yan pondered for a while, nodded, and said:

"This method is feasible. Before the Nine Nether Secret Realm Exploration Conference, it's good to see the cultivation progress of those outer sect disciples."

"So that we can divide the teams by then. Head Seat Zhongli has put in much thought."

Zhongli shook his head with a smile. ===== CHAPTER 451 =====
