Chapter 802

He had accumulated too many good things during this period.

If Alhaitham thought that was all he had, then he would be in for a big surprise when the time came.

Diluc didn't reply, ducked into his cave dwelling, and disappeared without a trace.

Alhaitham put away the smile on his face, looked at the small tower, and frowned slightly.

That move Diluc used just now…

It really gave him a fright.

That move was truly earth-shattering; he had never seen Diluc use it before.

It seems it was indeed prepared for the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament.

In that case, everyone in Shushan was likely prepared with quite a few good things for the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament.

This was getting troublesome…

Alhaitham sighed, finally understanding why everyone had been hiding away during this time.

They were truly hiding their trump cards.

Alhaitham couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

After some thought, he didn't choose to return to his cave dwelling.

Taking advantage of the time, he was going to make a trip to the Scripture Library.

From there, he would choose another true Heaven-tier technique.

Then he would return to his cave dwelling to refine all the remaining spiritual weapons and magic treasures.

For the once-in-a-century Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, one naturally had to prepare as much as possible.

Otherwise, if he was underprepared, he would definitely be on the receiving end of a surprise from Diluc and the others.

Alhaitham didn't intend to fight for the top three; he didn't even consider the top five.

But…

The top ten…

It wasn't impossible to think about.

In that case, his opponents would be Diluc, Tartaglia, Rosalyne, and the others…

The pressure was still quite high. More importantly, when they were in the Nine Nether Secret Realm, they had all seen each other's trump cards.

He still had to find a way to refine a new trump card, or even use several trump cards.

However…

There was still over a month left, so there was enough time.

Thinking of this, Alhaitham accelerated, and before long, he arrived at the Scripture Library.

He went straight ahead, arriving directly at the fourth floor, but as soon as he stepped onto the fourth floor.

At a glance, Alhaitham was dumbfounded.

Tighnari, who had just returned, and Rosalyne, Arlecchino, Tartaglia, and others who had been in Shushan the whole time.

At this moment, they were packed full, filling the entire fourth-floor space…

527. Sect Master Exits Seclusion, Late Stage of Refining Void and Combining with Dao

There wasn't often anything going on in Shushan; most of the time, everyone was in dull and boring seclusion.

Kiana and the others didn't take long to get used to this kind of life.

Anyway, without the Honkai's harassment, seclusion could be considered peaceful.

Kallen and Immortal Fu Hua had already been sent to Shushan Village, and with Ying'er taking care of them, they had been living peacefully during this time.

However, Shushan Village wasn't exactly idle; the Shushan Apprentice Recruitment Ceremony after the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament was also open to them.

This time, there was no limit on the number of people, so they definitely had to seize this good opportunity.

Otherwise, if they missed this time, who knows when the next recruitment ceremony would be.

Just like this once-in-a-century Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, if they missed this one, they would have to wait another hundred years.

How many ordinary people have a hundred years to live?

Therefore, this Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament was also the grand event everyone was most concerned about.

Besides that, the myriad spirits of Shushan had also received notice, and everyone was gearing up to join Shushan.

Only by becoming a Shushan disciple could one truly become one of their own in the Shushan world.

However, these matters were not worth the attention of the people of Shushan.

During this time, everyone had also chosen their own Heaven-tier techniques, among which there were some that were particularly powerful and obscure.

They wanted to consult Jiang Yan, but unfortunately, Jiang Yan was also in seclusion.

They could only ponder it themselves for now.

Of course, since they had been cultivating for so long, they should have some understanding of their own and couldn't rely on Jiang Yan for everything.

Otherwise, what would they do if Jiang Yan ascended in the future?

Therefore, after everyone understood this, they became very interested in the various stories and classics of the Shushan cultivation world.

For one, they could go to the Scripture Library every week to take a look.

For another, blindly choosing techniques would only lead to being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

For cultivators, such techniques were useless.

The Shushan disciples with the most techniques now only had seven or eight.

This was also maintained on the basis of at least being able to get started with all of them.

In short, Shushan during this period was indeed quite quiet.

Nothing major happened, and even the core disciples were hard to see.

They were either in seclusion or out honing themselves in the Shushan world.

Thus, it continued until two weeks before the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament.

The Sect Hall at the peak of Tongtian Peak suddenly erupted with a power that shook the world.

But then, it was like a deflated balloon, returning to calm in the blink of an eye.

But all the Shushan disciples understood that Jiang Yan had finished his seclusion.

At this moment, many people felt a surge of joy, especially Himeko and the others, who were already prepared to bring Immortal Fu Hua and the others for recommendations after a while.

As for now…

It was clearly time for Jiang Yan to speak with Ganyu and the others; at this critical juncture, naturally, no one was truly stupid enough to do that.

Inside the Sect Hall, Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes, his aura now like that of an ordinary person.

Even if placed in a crowd, one wouldn't be able to find him at a glance.

But now, his realm was incredibly stable.

Things like inadvertently hearing the disciples' inner thoughts from time to time would no longer happen.

He had complete control over his own power.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of fiery red eyes staring at him full of anticipation.

Seeing that he had woken up, Klee cheered and dove into Jiang Yan's arms.

"Master! Master is awake! Klee missed Master so much!"

Jiang Yan's mouth curled up slightly; seeing Klee as soon as he opened his eyes was indeed a very happy thing.

He gently picked up Klee, checked her with his true essence for a moment, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems Klee has been cultivating properly during this time. If things continue like this, once you fully digest this divine fire, you will be able to break through to the mid-stage of Refining Qi into Spirit."

Having said that, Jiang Yan turned his head to look beside him, where Ganyu and Miko were also staring at him expectantly.

Jiang Yan reached out to pull the two of them over and laughed:

"You've worked hard during this time."

"It was nothing…"

Ganyu leaned quietly in Jiang Yan's arms, her longing sweeping over her in an instant, making Ganyu unable to help but tear up.

"Jiang Yan, what is your realm now?"

Miko asked curiously, and Jiang Yan shook his head with a smile.

"Just broke through, what else could it be? Still the late stage of Refining Void and Combining with Dao."

"But it's not as unstable as when I first broke through."
