Chapter 67

They also calculated that after returning, they would need to increase their efforts in collecting Primogems.

Jiang Yan estimated the time, and it was probably noon now.

And the most critical thing had not been done yet.

Simply put, Jiang Yan did not drag it out and said softly:

"Alright, since you have already entered Shushan, then, next, it is time to transmit the most important Shushan cultivation technique to you."

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up.

Having waited for so long, wasn't it just for this most critical thing?

Shushan cultivation technique, officially cultivating immortality!

All problems, as long as one cultivates immortality, can be solved easily.

"I have said before that the seven branches of Shushan each have their own specialized techniques, but I currently have no way to obtain them."

"But there is no need to worry; the common Shushan technique is an extremely peaceful one, also created by the ancestors of the upper realm, sufficient to cultivate into an immortal."

"Moreover, there may be more gifts from the ancestors later. Shushan's technique is peaceful and inclusive, so switching to another one later will not waste much time."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Jiang Yan continued:

"The Shushan technique is called 'Zhou Tian Qi Circulation,' which involves guiding spiritual energy, circulating it through the whole body for a full Zhou Tian, and thereby constantly becoming stronger."

"No matter what kind of spirit root one has, there is no problem."

Having said this, looking at the expectant crowd, Jiang Yan pointed lightly.

Streams of light entered everyone's eyebrows.

The next moment, a scripture containing the Great Dao appeared in everyone's mind.

"The number of the Zhou Tian is infinite in change, having and not having, action and inaction, clear and turbid, movement is intent, stillness is clarity, stars sit and fall, heaven and earth are impermanent..."

Words that were completely incomprehensible flowed into everyone's minds.

Although they didn't recognize the scripture's characters, and it even sounded extremely complex.

But strangely, everyone just understood how to cultivate.

They knew how to brew True Essence.

The many beautiful scenes of cultivation that Jiang Yan had previously described orally, at this moment, in the Zhou Tian Qi Circulation chapter, everyone saw them all.

Refining Essence and Transforming Qi, Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit, Refining Spirit and Returning to Void, Refining Void and Combining Dao, Crossing the Tribulation and Ascending...

A grand avenue was clearly displayed at everyone's feet.

They had already stepped onto the true immortal path!

The hazy words were carved into their souls.

Those who had lived for a long time, like Zhongli, all noticed it.

They even saw it clearly.

The decay and erosion in their souls were swept away by a seemingly gentle purple energy.

Erosion...

It was gone!

It had completely disappeared.

And this was just the first step in starting to cultivate immortality.

Even Zhongli, immersed in cultivation, was overjoyed.

Lost memories, a certain sentence spoken to someone thousands of years ago, were all remembered.

The recovered memories were a supreme joy for Zhongli.

Subsequently, Zhongli saw the magnificent road ahead; facing that road, how small was he himself?

Zhongli understood why every cultivator longed to climb upward and could not stop.

They could not bear to part with that kind of future.

Zhongli could not bear it either.

Since he had seen it, he would pursue it with all his might.

The long-lost goal took root in Zhongli's heart once again.

He wanted to cultivate immortality!

To go against the heavens!

To walk on that eternal immortal path, to walk to the end, to walk above the heavens.

The scenery at that time must be very beautiful.

And Ningguang and the other original gods felt it even more deeply.

Never before had they felt that the road ahead was so clear.

They felt that they could continue to become stronger.

Demon God?

It was just a piece of scenery passed by.

They didn't even want to stay and look at it for a second longer.

Walking on the immortal path, there is much, much more stunning scenery.

The spiritual energy known as elemental power in the Vision was slowly stripped away, and the Vision gradually dimmed.

But replacing it was the surging aura on Ningguang and the others.

It was a strength that came from the essence.

Different from the external magical organ of the Vision.

They began to become resilient from the soul, and their bodies reflected a stronger and more terrifying pressure.

A power countless times stronger than elemental power was born in their bodies, entrenched in the lower abdomen.

Hearing Jiang Yan say it, that was the dantian.

Ningguang was the weakest in strength present, and soon, the elemental power within the Vision was converted.

She opened her eyes leisurely and looked at Jiang Yan, seemingly still savoring the feeling of cultivation.

"Is this cultivation? It's truly addictive; the joy of constantly becoming stronger and life constantly flourishing is really hard to let go of."

Ningguang wished she could put down all her work now and immediately immerse herself in cultivation.

She understood why so many people longed for cultivation.

The feeling of clearly watching oneself constantly become stronger and life constantly deriving was really too great.

Jiang Yan smiled and nodded.

"That's right, cultivation is indeed addictive."

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many cultivators who go into seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years. The Great Elder's longest seclusion in the past was a full three thousand seven hundred years."

Ningguang was somewhat tongue-tied.

"Three thousand seven hundred years, that's even longer than Liyue's history. Can I live that long too?"

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow and teased with a smile:

"You are a top-grade spirit root, why not? Your cultivation talent is extremely strong, and what's more..."

"You are currently at the early stage of Refining Essence and Transforming Qi, with a lifespan of five hundred years."

"Once you become a peak Refining Essence and Transforming Qi cultivator, you will have two thousand years of lifespan. What you need to consider is how to enjoy such a long time."

Ningguang was stunned for a moment and murmured:

"Five hundred years... I can live for another five hundred years..."

After a long while, Ningguang sighed and looked at Jiang Yan with flickering eyes.

"Thank you, Sect Master, for the technique!"

"Your becoming stronger means Shushan becomes stronger; I am naturally happy to help."

Jiang Yan had just finished speaking when Keqing, who was on the side, also woke up.

She was at the same early stage of Refining Essence and Transforming Qi as Ningguang.

Keqing's own strength was very strong, and as for Ningguang, although her strength was relatively weak, her talent was there, and Jiang Yan had also helped her.

Plus the spiritual energy of Tongtian Peak.

The final step from Foundation Establishment to Refining Essence and Transforming Qi was kicked open very easily.

This also confirmed Jiang Yan's guess that most original gods might not have reached Refining Essence and Transforming Qi.

At most, they were at the stage of Foundation Establishment in a hundred days. ===== CHAPTER 68 =====
