Chapter 22
Constructing a Heavenly Realm, Seven Veins of Mount Shu?

Zhongli and the others remained silent on Mount Tianheng for a long time. Perhaps it was the strong wind at the summit, making everyone feel a chill.

After a while, Liu Yun seemed somewhat wistful.

“Now I believe what Jiang Yan said about the power of a Da Luo. He only attained the Divine Refinement and Returning to Void stage, yet he can accomplish so much in a world.”

“A Da Luo, who is countless realms above, possesses the power to perceive all the heavens. It's not surprising,” said someone.

Xue Yue pursed her lips, looking at Zhongli with some worry.

“Your Majesty…”

Zhongli slightly raised his hand, interrupting Xue Yue.

“It's alright. Jiang Yan is our friend. There's no need to worry. Besides, he probably doesn't have the time to constantly keep an eye on Teyvat.”

“Then what about this Xuan Yuan Mirror…”

Xue Yue pointed at the unassuming Xuan Yuan Mirror on the table.

According to Jiang Yan, it contained one of his Golden Light Seals.

The Golden Light Seal was what solved Xiao's karmic debt.

However, everyone was wondering…

This mirror, merely possessing a single seal, could kill a god?

After Zhongli picked up the mirror, he no longer doubted it.

Jiang Yan was being rather subtle.

The mirror even made Zhongli sense a life-and-death crisis.

He was also at a stage equivalent to the Divine Refinement and Returning to Void stage in the cultivation system. Jiang Yan was simply one realm higher.

He couldn't even withstand a single seal?

It seemed the gap between realms in the cultivation system was truly immense.

“As Jiang Yan said, this mirror is of great importance to Liyue. It not only grants us the ability to deal with powerful foes.”

“It can also monitor the world. Even if it can only monitor Liyue, it is an invaluable treasure for Liyue.”

“Take it. Give it to the Seven Stars. This thing can only reach its full potential in their hands.”

“As for now…”

Zhongli turned his head and looked out at the nearly invisible Jueyun Karst.

“Go to Liyue Harbor and convene a meeting of the Seven Stars! This meeting must have all the immortals and the Seven Stars present!”

“Yes! Your Majesty!”

Streams of light shot across the sky and left Mount Tianheng.

Far away, on Jueyun Karst, Jiang Yan waved his hand and dismissed the water mirror before him.

The water mirror showed Zhongli and the others, but they only occupied a small part of the image.

More of it…

…was the Mondstadt city suffering from the dragon disaster, Lumine and Paimon heading towards Mondstadt, the thunderous Inazuma, the slumbering Nahida in the Palace of the Divine Priest…

…Fningning seated in the opera house, watching the trial, the Ice God closing her eyes on the throne, Alice playing with the gods on the border, and…

…the Sky Islands high above the heavens.

A water mirror.

Just a minor method of observation, nothing special. Any cultivator would know how to use it, let alone Jiang Yan, who possesses the Fundamental True Solution of Incantation Techniques.

He used the water mirror with extraordinary skill.

As for being able to observe the entire world…

That’s a matter of individual strength.

Zhongli used the water mirror to observe Liyue at most, but Jiang Yan is, after all, a Divine Refinement and Returning to Void cultivator.

The world of Teyvat is at his fingertips.

Even without any teleporting techniques, Jiang Yan could reach the Quantum Sea in the blink of an eye.

Teyvat, this self-imposed cage on the tree, doesn’t have any restrictions on Jiang Yan.

However, he wasn’t interested in paying much attention to them. When Zhongli and the others mentioned his name, he simply shielded them out.

Zhongli and the others were going to hold a meeting, and he wasn’t interested in continuing to watch. He also had many important things to do.

The most important one was to open up the Shushan Cave Heaven.

Standing tall, purple clouds flowed in Jiang Yan’s eyes, gradually condensing like ice crystals.

Then, a world projection appeared in Jiang Yan’s eyes, just like Teyvat.

Creating a Cave Heaven isn’t difficult. At least, it’s not difficult for him, a Divine Refinement and Returning to Void cultivator who cultivates the Yellow Court Jade Scene Scripture.

A Cave Heaven isn’t a world, so it doesn’t need such powerful world barriers or complete world laws.

A Cave Heaven is just a spatial fold attached to a world.

It’s just that the Cave Heaven Jiang Yan wanted to create was a bit larger.

“Hidden scene concealing form, containing qi and nurturing essence. Cave Heaven, open!”

In an instant.

Purple qi bloomed from a point in front of Jiang Yan, flowing like a stream, then turning into a vortex of purple qi.

It was deep and bottomless.

Jiang Yan took a step forward and calmly stepped into the door of the Cave Heaven.

His vision went dark for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, the world before him suddenly opened up.

This was a newly created Cave Heaven, so naturally there were no mountains, rivers, or seas.

There was only an endless sky and boundless land.

As far as the eye could see, heaven and earth met.

Cave Heaven secret art, Yellow Court hidden scene.

Although the Yellow Court Jade Scene Scripture is a cultivation method, it would be ridiculous to say that it doesn’t have any special techniques.

As a cultivation classic that pierces the Dao of Immortality, how could it be worthy of such a high evaluation if it didn’t have any special techniques?

Cave Heaven immortal arts are rare in Liyue, but they do exist.

Ping Laolao can do it. It just requires a medium, materials, time and effort, and the resulting Cave Heaven is smaller.

If Zhongli and the others saw the Cave Heaven Jiang Yan created, they would probably doubt their own lives.

This Cave Heaven was not only stable but also as large as the entire Teyvat.

The entire meaning is that it includes the dark outer seas of the boundaries…

“This fits the foundation of Shushan that I compiled.”

Jiang Yan transformed into a beam of light and moved through the Cave Heaven. In less than a cup of tea, he had already inspected every piece of land.

Except for being empty, there were no signs of instability.

It seemed his first time opening up a Cave Heaven was quite smooth, perhaps it was due to the Yellow Court Jade Scene Scripture.

All his techniques were natural, without the slightest hint of awkwardness from sudden acquisition.

“It’s a pity that this Cave Heaven, although vast and stable, is ultimately just a Cave Heaven.”

Jiang Yan shook his head, regretful.

“To truly be worthy of the ancestral court of cultivation, it needs to at least be a world-bearing world.”

“Forget it, it’s still early. Take it slow.”

“The most urgent thing…”

Jiang Yan took a deep breath and used his full strength for the first time, except during his tribulation.

After all, creation is much more difficult than destruction.

He could easily destroy Teyvat, but to create a world of life like Teyvat…

That’s not something anyone below the rank of immortal can consider.

“Mountains, lakes, rivers, seas…”

As Jiang Yan continuously made moves, purple qi filled the entire Cave Heaven, like layers of purple clouds being driven by Jiang Yan.

But the effect was also quite obvious.

Endless mountains and rivers rose from the ground. The land split, forming lakes and rivers.

The land on the horizon shattered, turning into endless blue seas.

Rainforests, grasslands, and many other ecosystems began to appear.

Finally, Jiang Yan turned and looked at the mountain range in the center of the Cave Heaven that was still growing taller.

He sensed the true essence in his body and frowned slightly.

“It seems this kind of creation is still somewhat demanding, but… it’s enough.”

He didn’t have to worry about anything in Teyvat. This Cave Heaven was absolutely safe.

Teyvat, a world that was about to wither, had an excessive amount of spiritual qi.

This consumption could be recovered in half a day.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan mobilized all the true essence in his body.

The mountain, which had just grown to about 2,000 meters, instantly grew like it had taken steroids.

Finally, seven mountain peaks, each reaching tens of thousands of meters, pierced the clouds.

Six majestic and unique mountain ranges surrounded the central, tallest, and most upright peak.

“From this day forward, these are the seven veins of Shushan: Tongtian Peak, Longshou Peak, Xiazhu Peak, Fenghui Peak, Dazhu Peak, Chaoyang Peak.”

“Since I’ve already compiled Shushan, it’s not a bad idea to add some Qingyun Sect specialties.”

“After all, I am in charge of the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Technique.”

Jiang Yan gently brushed his sleeves, his large, ink-black cloud sleeves billowing with the clouds.

Standing on the top of Tongtian Peak, Jiang Yan had a distinctly immortal and transcendent air about him.

As Jiang Yan spoke, powerful and bold characters gradually appeared on the bodies of the seven towering peaks, representing the names of each peak.

These were not the characters of Teyvat, but they were imbued with Jiang Yan’s will. Anyone who saw them would understand what they were.

Feeling the true essence that still remained in his body, Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, then said with a smile:

“Since we’ve reached this point, we might as well add some embellishments. Besides, these mountains are so high that it would be difficult for ordinary disciples to climb in the future.”

Thinking about it, Jiang Yan reached out again.
