Chapter 629

~7 min read 1,370 words

"The Evil Sword Immortal is especially good at bewitching people's hearts; there are not a few people who have been bewitched by his words and turned against their own side."

"Even, in the past, there was a cultivator in the early stage of Refining Void and Combining Dao who, after being asked a few questions by the Evil Sword Immortal, had his Dao heart collapse directly, and his cultivation plummeted."

"Therefore, when fighting, do not have any communication with the Evil Sword Immortal."

"Of course, it's too early to say these things now; to face the Evil Sword Immortal and the Heavenly Demon Ridge under his command, your current strength is not enough."

"The top priority should be diligent cultivation to improve strength and prepare for future battles."

"Otherwise, when the Evil Sword Immortal sees your strength, he might not even have the desire to communicate with you before he strikes."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

Although they were still a bit excited, cultivation itself was a matter of avoiding arrogance and impatience, not to mention, the threat of the Evil Sword Immortal right now...

In Jiang Yan's view, it was already very soon, but for everyone in Teyvat, there was still a long time.

They still hadn't fully adapted to the cultivator's concept of time; a few hundred years, a few thousand years, for them, was still a span they couldn't accept in a short time.

During this period, with their talent, they should be able to gain something.

Besides, isn't there the Demon-Locking Tower?

Himeko also understood Jiang Yan's meaning more or less, but still said in disbelief:

"So the Sect Master kept me because..."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and said softly:

"Shushan is now facing the threat of the Evil Sword Immortal, and I also said that the original step-by-step development could still allow Shushan to revive."

"But now, I need to achieve this in a shorter time."

"One Teyvat cannot provide enough disciple resources for Shushan's revival."

"So... the Honkai world is the second world I have my eye on."

Originally, Jiang Yan wasn't actually interested in doing tasks or anything.

Cultivation, in his eyes, should be step-by-step and steady; one cannot seek speed.

Therefore, Jiang Yan didn't actively urge the completion of system tasks.

Just like that, he cultivated every day, relaxed with Ganyu and the others when he had nothing to do, and guided other disciples in their cultivation.

Such a life was quite beautiful.

But the trip to the Demon-Locking Tower broke all of Jiang Yan's stable life.

The appearance of the Evil Sword Immortal brought Shushan's potential crisis to the surface.

Admittedly, Jiang Yan could have crossed the tribulation and ascended in a short time; at that time, whatever Evil Sword Immortal would have nothing to do with him.

As for the heavens and myriad worlds...

Help if you can, if you can't, cultivators subduing demons and eliminating devils should also prioritize themselves.

But Jiang Yan had never thought of this idea.

The current Shushan was created by him single-handedly, with many disciples, the seven veins of Shushan...

These were all results he had watched grow from nothing.

Jiang Yan wasn't cold-blooded enough to let everything happen; he wasn't a demonic cultivator.

If everything here was destroyed because he didn't care, Jiang Yan would definitely develop inner demons.

So...

The battle with the Evil Sword Immortal was inevitable.

Either he dies, or Shushan perishes.

The Evil Sword Immortal couldn't die, so suppress him; suppress him forever, which for the immortal Evil Sword Immortal, was a torture more painful than death.

Jiang Yan was actually somewhat confident.

With his talent, in a few hundred years, Jiang Yan had absolute confidence in reaching the peak of Refining Void and Combining Dao, and might even be about to ascend.

At that time, with the power of the Eight Great Mantras combined, the Evil Sword Immortal would never be able to turn things around in this lifetime.

The troublesome part was the Heavenly Demon Ridge.

The Evil Sword Immortal had some ability, and Jiang Yan couldn't be distracted while dealing with him, while the Heavenly Demon Ridge attacked other Shushan disciples.

Someone had to be able to block them.

Not asking them to win, at the very least, someone had to possess the strength to resist.

To be able to drag the guys from the Heavenly Demon Ridge until Jiang Yan solved the Evil Sword Immortal.

In this way, with only one Teyvat, it was obviously impossible to have such a reserve of disciples in a few hundred years.

Thus, we can only find ways to open source.

Although the Honkai world is a technological world, a technological world is also composed of humans.

There will be geniuses, and there will be geniuses.

The Honkai world has more outstanding talents; according to Jiang Yan's estimation, the cultivation geniuses that can be produced there are probably no worse than Teyvat.

There might even be many ready-made powerhouses.

Once they switch to cultivation, they can directly become Shushan's combat power.

Moreover, expanding the world radiated by Shushan and improving Shushan's development progress will get more rewards.

These rewards will allow Jiang Yan himself and many Shushan disciples to accelerate their growth.

Only in this way can everyone in Shushan have hope of blocking the demons of the Heavenly Demon Ridge in the future; at the very least, they won't become a drag on Jiang Yan's battle.

What's more, solving the problems of the Honkai world and letting the Honkai world join the radiation range of Shushan can also be considered as fulfilling Himeko's wish.

In this way, Himeko's cultivation can also go more smoothly.

It can be considered killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, bringing the Honkai world into cultivation is something Jiang Yan must do.

Withdrawing his mind, Jiang Yan looked at Himeko, who looked somewhat exceptionally surprised, but didn't have time to answer for a moment.

Jiang Yan reminded softly:

"Himeko, what do you think?"

Reminded by Jiang Yan, Himeko immediately reacted and nodded repeatedly.

"Of course! Of course, no problem!"

"The Sect Master allows me to return to the Honkai world; the disciple is extremely grateful, and what's more, you even allow the disciple to take action and personally solve the Honkai."

"And I can bring partners from the Honkai world to cultivate..."

Himeko looked at Jiang Yan with emotion and said seriously:

"Thank you, Sect Master; Himeko is willing to go through fire and water for Shushan, and will not refuse!"

376. Himeko: Kiana, you protect the world, I protect you

"There's no need to say that."

Jiang Yan smiled and said softly:

"I am also considering Shushan's development; since the Honkai world can produce a cultivator like you, Himeko, who has both strength and talent."

"Why can't it produce other cultivators?"

"Shushan is now facing the prying eyes of the Evil Sword Immortal and must improve its strength as quickly as possible."

"The Honkai world is indeed a good place."

Himeko shook her head.

"Regardless, the Sect Master allows me to return, and what's more, to return with the path of cultivation."

"No matter the starting point, it will save everyone in the Honkai world; the disciple is extremely grateful."

Jiang Yan waved his hand somewhat helplessly.

"Alright, let's not talk about gratitude for now; since you have no problem, then pick a time and return to the Honkai world."

Venti blinked and reminded:

"Sect Master, the Nine Nether Secret Realm Exploration Conference is in three days; there's no need for Himeko to return these few days, right."

"After all, she herself has just started cultivation and hasn't mastered the true meaning of cultivation yet."

"In three days, even if she goes back, she can't do anything; it's better to stay and study the way of cultivation well, and explore the Nine Nether Secret Realm first."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and said softly:

"Then why don't you return to the Honkai world after the Nine Nether Secret Realm Exploration Conference ends, Himeko?"

After the Nine Nether Secret Realm Exploration Conference ends, Himeko should also have mastered the way of cultivation relatively proficiently.
