Chapter 803

"According to my calculations, if there are no fortuitous encounters and I develop step-by-step, it will take at least another twenty years to break through to the peak of Refining Void and Combining with Dao."

As he spoke, Jiang Yan also felt a bit emotional.

This speed, to be honest, was already very fast.

For a cultivator of Refining Void and Combining with Dao, even for a genius like Klee, wanting to break through a small realm.

It would take a hundred, or even several hundred years.

Jiang Yan was only in his twenties and had already broken through to the late stage of Refining Void and Combining with Dao; this progress was already incredible.

He could still undergo the tribulation and ascend to immortality within a hundred years.

This had never happened in the history of the entire cultivation world.

Even for those beings born as immortals, the gestation time was over a thousand years.

For example, Sun Wukong.

Just after popping out of the stone, he had the cultivation of an Earth Immortal, with no worries about lifespan.

But how many years was Sun Wukong gestated?

It would probably have to be calculated in the tens of thousands, or even millions.

The fastest speed recorded in the cultivation world from mortal to immortal was two hundred and eighty-one years.

That person was very famous throughout the heavens and worlds…

Zhang Sanfeng.

Or perhaps he should be called by another name.

Emperor Zhenwu.

But Zhang Sanfeng was essentially an incarnation of Emperor Zhenwu who was bored and sent down to the mortal world to experience cultivation.

He was an immortal himself, and a top-tier Taiyi power among immortals at that.

Recultivating, naturally, was very fast.

For Jiang Yan to have this speed, to be honest, was already outrageous.

This was also thanks to the system's rewards.

If there were no system rewards, wanting to break through from Refining Essence into Qi to the late stage of Refining Void and Combining with Dao.

Even with his Innate Dao Body 847, it would probably take about a hundred years.

At the end of the day, it still saved a lot of trouble.

Ganyu and Miko heard that Jiang Yan would need at least another twenty years to reach the peak of Refining Void and Combining with Dao.

For some reason, there was a trace of secret joy in their hearts.

Perhaps in this way…

Jiang Yan could stay with them for a longer time.

Parting ways or whatever could be discussed later.

At the very least, they were still together now.

Ganyu and Miko didn't say anything, leaning on Jiang Yan's shoulders, quietly enjoying this moment of peace.

Klee also obediently didn't break this warmth, curling up in Jiang Yan's arms.

During this period, Jiang Yan also probed his divine sense out of Shushan, and in an instant, the situation of the entire world was in his eyes.

Just as he had imagined before his seclusion.

To date, no existence of Refining Spirit into Void had been born yet.

However, there were quite a few at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit.

Besides that, there were quite a few demon cultivators with top-tier talent who were also in seclusion preparing to join Shushan.

Jiang Yan could feel that these demon cultivators were not beings born in Shushan, and in all likelihood, they had drifted over from the cultivation world.

This could also explain why the demon cultivators who had just been born showed a lifespan of over ten thousand years.

It turns out…

Quite a few old antiques had come.

In this way, Jiang Yan could also ask about the situation regarding the Day of Dharma Destruction.

Regarding the Day of Dharma Destruction, Jiang Yan still had a belly full of questions he wanted to know.

528. Jiang Yan's Grand Plan, Shushan World Evolves into a Cultivation World

Jiang Yan withdrew his divine sense; he was quite satisfied with his current strength.

According to his calculations, the strongest existence in the entire cultivation world today was none other than the Evil Sword Immortal.

But that guy, at most, was probably only at the late stage of Refining Void and Combining with Dao.

He still had three-tenths of his consciousness origin that hadn't been recovered.

One part was naturally suppressed in the Demon-Locking Tower; with Jiang Yan's current abilities, there was absolutely no possibility of him coming out.

The other two…

According to the inherited knowledge that appeared inexplicably in his mind, one part of the origin was suppressed in the top-grade treasure, the Heaven-Swallowing Box.

The Heaven-Swallowing Box was still in the deeper level of the sect treasury; right now, Jiang Yan couldn't even take it out.

The last part of the origin was in the Seven-Colored Jade Pool of Shushan, and that place hadn't appeared yet.

Logically speaking, even if the origin in the Demon-Locking Tower returned, the Evil Sword Immortal would at most be at the peak of Refining Void and Combining with Dao.

But this realm posed no threat to Jiang Yan.

Samadhi True Fire, Five-Colored Divine Light, Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Methods.

These three great divine abilities could keep him firmly in check; although he couldn't kill him, it was enough to suppress him forever.

Not to mention, Jiang Yan also had the Earth Immortal treasure, the World-Purifying Glazed Bottle, and the half-step Immortal treasure, the Three-Colored Linglong Tower.

Plus the Zhaodan Divine Sword, a Golden Immortal treasure that was the natural nemesis of all evil spirits.

Killing an Evil Sword Immortal who hadn't recovered to his peak might not be possible, but suppressing him so he would never see the light of day was easy.

The Evil Sword Immortal was no longer his opponent; for now, the most troublesome thing left was the Heavenly Demon Territory and its demons.

Even if Jiang Yan dealt with the Evil Sword Immortal, it would still take time.

During this time, the Heavenly Demon Territory and its demons would be enough to devastate the current Shushan.

Thus…

Improving Shushan's basic strength was already the most important thing at the moment.

Jiang Yan had also found a specific target.

The Aeons in the neighboring Star Rail world, although there was a big gap in strength, for example, the Aeon of the Hunt with a relatively narrow Path.

Roughly calculated, he was at most at the peak realm of Refining Spirit into Void, and as for his actual performance…

In the Tree and Sea universe, he was probably at the early stage of Refining Spirit into Void.

Not yet close to the single-universe level.

The rest with broader Paths, such as Elation and Nihility, those two, after specializing, were definitely at the level of Refining Void and Combining with Dao.

Their actual combat power could also change from the single-universe level of Refining Spirit into Void to the true Refining Void and Combining with Dao that involved the multiverse.

Placed in some worlds that didn't know about true cultivation, those two would likely become Immortal Emperors of that world.

Unfortunately, for the Supreme Immortal Dao that included all things, the multiverse was just an existence that couldn't be brought to the table.

Starting from Earth Immortal, all were high-status ultimate life forms capable of creating a multiverse.

However, even so, those Aeons were enough.

But for the time being, Jiang Yan hadn't planned to let Star Rail join yet.

Having just accommodated the Honkai world, other plans should be slowed down.

However…

Right now, Jiang Yan had to consider another matter.

From the consciousness of those old cultivation world demon antiques who came to this world, Jiang Yan had roughly seen it.

The current cultivation world, with the Day of Dharma Destruction descending, was itself on the verge of collapse.

Coupled with the endless ravages of demon cultivators and the Heavenly Demon Territory, the origin of the cultivation world was in jeopardy.

It was only one step away from falling from the status of the supreme world second only to the Immortal World.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel a bit sad; after all, that was the true home of cultivators.

But things had come to this, and he couldn't change anything now.

It seems that the cave heaven he created back then, the Shushan world which had now evolved into a Great Thousand World, had become the final destination for the remaining cultivators.
