“Heart Spirit Dan Yuan word guards the spirit, Lung Spirit Hao Hua word becomes emptiness.”
“Within an inch, thoughts are deeply hidden, neither square nor round, close the windows.”
“Walk along the eight scenic spots in the form, twenty-four true emerge from nature.”
One by one, these words, like seven-character quatrains, flowed slowly into everyone's ears.
Yes, they did flow.
These words, descending from the mountain peak, condensed like ink, entering the ears of everyone like a small stream.
They even entered the ears of many ferocious beasts.
Unfortunately, everyone was now sitting cross-legged with Zhongli, their eyes closed, listening to Jiang Yan's Huang Ting.
This scene was not seen by anyone.
Initially, Ningguang and the others didn't understand why they had to sit cross-legged, especially on this land, it was quite undignified.
Moreover, what they heard was utterly incomprehensible, without any context or direction, making it useless to listen.
But as she sat down and closed her eyes to listen, Ningguang realized she was wrong.
Some things don't need to be spoken to be understood.
Some words don't need to be pondered to be comprehended.
They might not understand what Jiang Yan was saying, but as long as they used their hearts to comprehend, these words could help them.
Their fatigue was soothed, their anxieties swept away.
In their place, an extreme tranquility took root.
Elemental power continuously gathered, merging into their bodies. Everyone's strength was slowly but steadily increasing as they listened to the Huang Ting.
The harmonious power, like a mother gently wiping away everyone's sweat, hugged them and whispered softly.
“Mom knows you’re tired, but now, you can rest well.”
Ningguang, with closed eyes, had a tear roll down her cheek.
At this moment, she suddenly understood Ganyu a little.
Beneath the Jade Chamber, such a peaceful scene unfolded.
Later, some wild beasts arrived and obediently lay down at the feet of many.
Their eyes shimmered, even the cold, venomous snakes had a hint of kind gentleness in their pupils.
Gradually, as the purple Qi in the sky dissipated, Jiang Yan's Huang Ting Scripture came to an end.
When the final sentence fell, a gentle breeze swept across the land.
In an instant, flowers bloomed all over the mountain.
The withered wild grasses also turned lush green.
Zhongli and the others slowly opened their eyes, not paying attention to the changes in their surroundings.
Zhongli simply sighed softly and calmly said:
“The erosion has decreased by another one percent… at this rate, I should be completely free of the erosion soon.”
The other immortals also opened their eyes and looked towards the Jade Chamber above. For the first time, they understood why Zhongli didn't let them address Jiang Yan as an immortal.
If such an existence only called themselves a Refinement-of-Spirit and Return-to-Void cultivator.
Then what right did they have to call themselves immortals?
Their immortal power density increased, their immortal power level enhanced, and the old wounds from their battles faded considerably.
This should have been a cause for great joy, but now, a sense of unprecedented calm filled the hearts of everyone.
Tranquility and peace.
Ningguang's long lashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.
She glanced sideways, and a tiger simultaneously opened its eyes.
From close by, Ningguang could smell the fishy odor from its mouth.
But Ningguang didn't feel alarmed. It felt like a voice in her heart told her that there was nothing to worry about.
A natural understanding.
The tiger's eyes also showed a hint of human-like kindness. It seemed to nod towards Ningguang.
After bowing towards the Jade Chamber, it vanished in a few leaps.
Ningguang looked towards the open ground not far away. Many wild beasts had also awakened.
But the expected slaughter did not take place.
Instead, like the tiger, they all bowed respectfully and quietly left.
As if afraid of disturbing the existence of the Jade Chamber.
The beasts in the carriage behind also woke up, but instead of making a fuss, they just lay quietly.
Ningguang turned to Keqing, whose face had a hint of joy.
“My elemental power has gotten stronger again!”
With Keqing's exclamation breaking the silence, the Jade Chamber became noisy.
The Liyue Qixing were all delighted with their enhanced strength and physique.
Some Liyue Qixing even had their injuries and scars disappear.
They looked several years younger.
Keqing felt like she could work three more nights in a row.
If she could hear such scriptures every day, working overtime wouldn't be a problem.
“Ningguang, you cried?”
Keqing looked at Ningguang in surprise. In the past, Ningguang would have firmly denied it.
As the proud Tianquan, she could never show any signs of weakness.
But now…
For some reason, Ningguang felt her heart had been elevated.
She nodded slightly and chuckled.
“Just thinking about the past, but it’s a happy memory.”
“You’ve changed…”
Keqing’s eyes were complex. She shook her head and didn’t say anything more.
But Zhongli looked at Ningguang with satisfaction.
A Tianquan Star whose heart had reached a new level was a blessing for Liyue.
“This is the power of that Mr. Jiang, isn’t it?”
Ping Lao Lao sighed with emotion. She felt several years younger.
“Without appearing, from such a distance, he can pacify living beings, enhance our strength, and heal our injuries.”
“He is truly a legendary cultivator.”
If Jiang Yan heard this, he probably wouldn’t care.
After all, he was a Refinement-of-Spirit and Return-to-Void cultivator, considered to be at the peak of the human path.
A single drop of blood from such a being would be of immense benefit to lower-level cultivators.
Moreover, he was reciting the Huang Ting Scripture.
If it didn’t have such effects, Jiang Yan would think the Huang Ting Scripture was fake.
“Jiang Yan didn’t help us.”
Zhongli shook his head and smiled wryly.
“I told you, this is just his daily morning routine.”
“Morning… routine?”
Keqing looked at Zhongli in disbelief.
“Just his morning routine can affect such a vast area and influence Heaven and Earth?”
“Are all cultivators this powerful?”
Zhongli didn’t answer. In his heart, he felt a faint glimmer of hope.
Now that he had witnessed the influence of Jiang Yan’s cultivation, regarding Jiang Yan’s claim that he could resurrect…
Zhongli also felt a spark of hope.
Perhaps he couldn’t do it now, but maybe in the future.
Moreover, if he cultivated…
Could he reach the point where he could resurrect his old friend?
Zhongli was eager to find out.
“Let’s go up the mountain.”
Zhongli didn’t hesitate any longer. He spoke softly:
“Since Daoist Jiang has finished his morning routine, we should hurry up and pay him a visit.”
Ningguang and the others nodded solemnly.
But when they saw the Liyue Qixing who were still excitedly discussing how much stronger they had become, they had other thoughts.
“Lord Rex Lapis, we can’t get these carriages up there.”
Keqing looked at the carriages behind with a worried frown.
“That is a problem.”
Zhongli nodded slightly, glanced at the immortals, and thought that if they were asked to carry them, they would probably be exhausted to death.
After a moment of silence, Zhongli sighed helplessly.
“Forget it, since we’ve already come this far, how can we leave the gifts at the foot of the mountain? I’ll do it myself.”
“Lord Rex Lapis, this…”
Xiao looked at Zhongli with some hesitation.
Could his deity become a porter? Was this appropriate?
But Zhongli didn’t mind. He waved his hand and said:
“It’s nothing, it’s not a troublesome task. If others can do it, why can’t I?”
Hearing Zhongli say this, Xiao didn’t try to persuade him anymore.
However, before Zhongli could move, a figure in a black robe, riding a flying sword, gracefully descended from the peak of the Jade Chamber.
His wide robe made him seem quite ethereal.
The clouds gently parted, forming a path, as if to welcome his arrival.
“Guests have come to visit and brought gifts, how can I let them help carry them into my home?”
Zhongli looked up, a graceful immortal with a sword descended from the sky, the purple-gold cloud patterns between his brows were even more prominent.
His robes billowed in the wind, making him seem like a jade-faced celestial being.
He gently stretched out his hand, and the countless carriages turned into streams of light, all disappearing into his cloud sleeve.
The area beneath the Jade Chamber suddenly became empty.
The wind blew softly, the black robe and long hair of the figure fluttered in the breeze.
He had a slight smile on his face, his eyes seemed to twinkle like stars, making people entranced.
Seeing this, Ganyu’s cheeks instantly flushed.
Keqing and Ningguang beside her also felt their hearts pounding.
Suddenly, Ningguang and the others understood why Ganyu was infatuated.
The aura of a cultivator was truly unfair, no wonder Ganyu was so smitten.
Jiang Yan smiled slightly, looked at everyone, and nodded slightly.
“This is our first meeting, it seems I was a bit late to welcome you all.”
In the sunlight, Jiang Yan’s figure seemed to shine brighter than the morning sun.
Ningguang and the others quietly looked up at him.
This gaze, one glance for eternity.
