Chapter 829

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Yan opened his eyes, divine light bursting from his pupils, making the Tsaritsa feel her heart pounding for no reason.

"I already know your intention."

Jiang Yan said calmly:

"The Demon-Locking Tower will not be opened in the short term; it is currently unclear which level the Evil Sword Immortal's consciousness is wandering in, and the danger is too high."

"Moreover, your cultivation cannot rely entirely on accumulating strength to force a breakthrough."

"What you lack now is just your state of mind..."

To put it bluntly, the Tsaritsa came here this time because of cultivation.

Seeing that Shushan's strength is getting stronger and stronger, all the major Elders and Head Seats are at least at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit.

Currently, in the entire Shushan, the only ones who are at the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit and can still be Elders are her and Furina.

But they are different.

On Furina's side, there is the King-Dao genius Furina below, and the peak Refining Qi into Spirit, even about to cross the tribulation, Neuvillette above.

Furina doesn't need to worry at all.

But she can't.

Snezhnaya relies entirely on her to carry it; if she doesn't break through to the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit, she really has no sense of security.

But the more she thinks this way, the more chaotic her heart becomes, and she can't cultivate.

Logically speaking, she feels her cultivation is enough to break through, but in reality, she has been stuck, and she really has no way.

"You are too anxious."

Jiang Yan saw Barnabas's melancholy at a glance, shook his head, and said softly:

"Cultivation was never something that could be achieved overnight; the more anxious you are to break through, the worse the effect."

"Do you know where you are lacking now?"

"Please give me some pointers, Sect Master."

The Tsaritsa looked at Jiang Yan very seriously, and the latter said softly:

"State of mind."

"Why can Fu Hua and Kevin break through to the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit in a short time, and even prepare to cross the tribulation?"

"Because their state of mind cultivation is too high, leading to their realm also being very high; in the end, they only need to supplement their strength and cultivation to break through directly."

"And you, when you joined Shushan earlier, I also said."

"Your state of mind cultivation is not as good as Zhongli and the others, only at the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"Originally you were only at the early stage of Refining Qi into Spirit because you dispersed your strength."

"Even if you supplement your strength, at most, if your realm doesn't improve and your state of mind doesn't improve, you can only be stuck at the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit."

557. Pointing the way for the Tsaritsa, going to other worlds to temper the heart in the mortal world

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, the Tsaritsa finally understood where her problem was, but it was precisely because she understood that she felt helpless.

The cultivation of state of mind and realm cannot be broken through by taking some pills, eating a lot, and saving up enough strength.

In the initial stage of Refining Essence into Qi, perhaps this might have some effect.

But when cultivation reaches the later stages, it all requires comprehending the Dao.

Only by mastering more of one's own Dao can one make progress.

Why do Zhongli and Venti cultivate so fast? That's because they have lived for a long time; when they were still Archons, they already understood what they were pursuing.

After cultivation, they seamlessly connected and constantly pursued their own Dao.

Fu Hua and Kevin are also like this.

People who have lived for a long time indeed have an advantage in cultivation; although this advantage is not absolute, it is enough for ordinary people.

And the Tsaritsa, currently, she cannot make further breakthroughs in her state of mind.

This kind of thing is something Jiang Yan cannot say much about.

He can indeed force the Tsaritsa to understand, but that would only make the Tsaritsa find a path that she thinks is correct but is actually planned by Jiang Yan.

If it were an existence with limited talent, pulling up seedlings to help them grow wouldn't matter, but the Tsaritsa has a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Pulling up seedlings to help them grow would only stifle her possibilities.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Jiang Yan to give her a direction directly.

However, appropriate guidance is not impossible.

"What you lack is state of mind cultivation; do you know how most cultivators solve it when their state of mind cultivation is difficult to advance?"

The Tsaritsa looked at Jiang Yan blankly and shook her head.

Jiang Yan was a bit helpless and said softly:

"Tempering the heart in the mortal world."

Immediately, the Tsaritsa's eyes burst with unparalleled brilliance.

"Tempering the heart in the mortal world... Thank you, Sect Master! I understand!"

After saying this, the Tsaritsa hurriedly turned to leave.

Jiang Yan said slowly:

"Teyvat has no need for you to temper your heart in the mortal world; you are too familiar with that world."

"To temper your heart in the mortal world, it is best to find a completely unfamiliar environment."

The Tsaritsa asked curiously:

"Does the Sect Master mean the Honkai world?"

"This can be a choice, but a better direction is not the Honkai world."

Jiang Yan smiled and continued:

"When I was tempering my heart in the mortal world, the first stop was the mortal world of the cultivation world."

"There were countless beings there, all knowing the mystery of cultivation; I wanted to observe the variety of life, but it didn't have much effect."

"Later, I went to the worlds in the Chaos Sea; there, I witnessed mortals craving longevity, mortals craving ordinariness, and mortals praying for heaven's mercy."

"There were also mortals who were unwilling to accept their fate and fought against heaven..."

"The variety of mortal life, each heart is different; that is the true, most suitable place for tempering the heart in the mortal world."

After saying this, Jiang Yan looked at the Tsaritsa who had already understood and waved his hand.

"Go, follow the Peng clan to the Chaos Sea; when you return, perhaps you will have reached the point of being on the verge of breaking through to Refining Spirit into Void."

The Tsaritsa nodded heavily and said seriously:

"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master; Barnabas will definitely not fail the Sect Master's high expectations."

Jiang Yan didn't say anything more and closed his eyes to continue meditating.

The Tsaritsa's talent is not weak; with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, she is destined to have the qualifications to become an immortal.

Her comprehension is also very good.

But...

she is limited by her own mortal heart.

There is no way around this; after all, the Tsaritsa has been like this for so many years before.

She has never been out of the world, so naturally, she doesn't understand the pursuit of cultivators who seek the Great Dao by entering the world and tempering their souls by leaving the world.

Letting her go out with them this time, perhaps she will untie her shackles and truly become a Shushan prodigy.

In Jiang Yan's eyes, none of the current Shushan core disciples and Elder Head Seats have poor talent.

They are worth his careful cultivation.

The Peng clan's residence is on the south side of Shushan City.

The Peng clan leader and the nine great Elders are also celebrating Jin Yi's successful apprenticeship to Venti here.

After this celebration, Jin Yi will stay quietly in Shushan to cultivate, and the Peng clan will also start looking for worlds.

At this time, the Peng clan's residence is bustling with activity.

The Peng clan doesn't just refer to the Jin Peng; in fact, the Peng clan is a clan formed by a large number of Peng bird races gathered together.

The avian clan, before the appearance of the Phoenix, was originally respected by the Jin Peng and Peacock clans.

Because both clans have a greater relationship with the Phoenix.

Now in this new Shushan world, naturally, they must be more united to survive.

To be precise, the current leader of the Peng clan is Jin Yi's father, Jin Dang of the Jin Peng clan.

The Great Elder is Jin Yi's mother, Kong Wei from the Peacock clan.
