Chapter 218

"If you need to spar with them, stay away from areas with dense animal populations."

"Furthermore, there are the rules regarding the Shushan supreme treasure, the Jade-Purity Golden Bell..."

After all, it concerned the dignity of Jean and the others when going to Shushan, so Lisa still provided a detailed introduction to the various rules of Shushan.

Overall, there were no overly strict rules; after all, one could even cultivate demonic arts and Buddhist techniques.

Shushan was still quite lenient.

Jean and the others listened attentively, and as Lisa described it, a mysterious and vast world of immortality cultivation emerged before their eyes.

For a moment, everyone's hearts flew toward Shushan.

They wished they could step onto the immortal path right now and truly experience the wonder of cultivating immortality.

Time passed quickly along with Lisa's storytelling; that night, no one slept.

Perhaps because of the Rejuvenation Pill, everyone did not feel tired; on the contrary, they were still full of energy.

Until dawn.

Only then did Lisa finish her general account, and Jean and the others put away their notes and began to tidy up the situation in Mondstadt.

Over these three days, they would visibly be very busy.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yan and Ganyu also emerged from their gentle embrace.

After the routine morning lesson, Ganyu bid farewell to Jiang Yan and left the fully evolved Shushan world.

This time, she did not ride a sword, but was carried by the Azure Phoenix toward Liyue Harbor.

The Azure Phoenix, huge in size yet appearing very elegant, carried Ganyu on its back, breaking through the clouds in the sky all the way as it rushed toward the Jade Chamber.

The journey was grand and imposing, making countless people in Liyue exclaim that they had seen an immortal.

As they neared Liyue Harbor, this sensation became even more intense.

Tartaglia, who had just come out to sunbathe, looked somewhat dazed at the incomparably huge blue bird.

It was just a bird...

Yet the sense of crisis it gave him was even stronger than that of Keqing from that day.

Tartaglia couldn't help but guess which immortal this was, thinking they must have also joined Shushan.

Ningguang, who was in talks with the the Liyue Qixing on the Jade Chamber, suddenly sensed a massive amount of spiritual energy rushing toward the Jade Chamber.

Just as she was wondering which senior brother or sister was coming, Baiwen ran in hurriedly.

"Lady Ningguang... outside... outside there's a very, very big blue bird immortal!"

A blue bird?

Ningguang was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while.

She knew many immortals now, and hadn't heard of any senior brother or sister whose original form was a blue bird.

"It must be the Azure Phoenix!"

Keqing reminded her softly, and Ningguang suddenly realized, rising to walk outside.

The other the Liyue Qixing followed curiously.

136. Surprised Liyue, Shushan is finally opening its gates

After leaving the Jade Chamber, everyone saw the Azure Phoenix.

That divine, elegant blue-green bird was now flapping its wings, hovering beside the Jade Chamber.

Its pair of eyes were larger than those of Ningguang and the others.

A hint of gentleness appeared between Ningguang's brows, and she said softly:

"It really is the Azure Phoenix. Why did you come, little one? Did Ganyu let you out for some air?"

Keqing, standing to the side, joked:

"The Azure Phoenix was cooped up in the Nine Netherworlds for so long that it doesn't want to shrink down after coming out."

"Do you want to see Teyvat?"

The other the Liyue Qixing looked at the Azure Phoenix somewhat nervously.

The Azure Phoenix before them was far stronger than any of the strongest immortals they had ever seen.

This was clearly one of those demonic or spirit beasts of the cultivation world that Ningguang and the others had mentioned.

From the looks of it, it was following Ganyu?

Uncle Tian couldn't help but feel moved by Ganyu's luck.

The Azure Phoenix chirped happily, its size shrinking, and Ganyu stepped lightly, landing on the Jade Chamber.

The Azure Phoenix also returned to its original small, delicate appearance, flew a circle around Ningguang and Keqing, and landed back on Ganyu's shoulder.

"Ganyu? I was wondering how you could let the Azure Phoenix come out to play by itself."

Ningguang smiled and said softly:

"Is there something you need now that you're back? Yuehai Pavilion has already recruited many people, so you don't need to worry; just focus on your cultivation."

Ganyu shook her head and said softly:

"I am here to convey the Sect Master's decree."

Hearing this, everyone immediately became solemn, and Ningguang and Keqing bowed immediately.

"Please, Sect Master's decree."

Ganyu paused and said softly:

"Shushan has transformed into a small world, with abundant spiritual energy and plentiful resources."

"The disciples of Shushan are also on the right track, and I intend to open the mountain gates in Liyue one month from now to widely recruit disciples."

"This opening of the mountain will recruit one thousand disciples."

"After the preliminary assessment in Liyue, they will be sent into the Shushan world; those who pass the first level of the Heart-Questioning Array will be outer sect disciples, and those who pass the third level will be inner sect disciples."

"This will be personally supervised by Head Seat Zhongli, assisted by the Law Enforcement Hall and disciples of various peaks."

"Those who are not selected but have decent aptitude may temporarily reside in Shushan Village to cultivate martial arts in preparation for the next recruitment."

After Ganyu finished speaking, Ningguang, Keqing, and even all the the Liyue Qixing had expressions of joy.

The mountain opening they had looked forward to for so long had finally arrived.

Especially the the Liyue Qixing other than Ningguang and Keqing, who were even more excited.

Their aptitude was not as good as Ningguang's, so they couldn't join Shushan directly.

But who wouldn't want to cultivate immortality?

Now that there was finally a chance, if they didn't give it their all, they would have lived in vain.

The Heart-Questioning Array sounded like something related to one's state of mind; they had heard from Ningguang and the others that a cultivator's state of mind was very important.

If this was what they were testing, they felt they had a decent chance.

After a while, Ningguang bowed and said:

"Disciple Ningguang, on behalf of Liyue, accepts the Sect Master's decree. For this mountain opening, Liyue will cooperate fully to ensure everything goes smoothly."

Ganyu nodded and reminded them:

"Ningguang, although the Sect Master has chosen Liyue as the first stop for opening the mountain, you must not be too biased toward the people of Liyue."

Ningguang smiled and said softly:

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't be overly biased toward the people of Liyue and the Millelith."

"However, I believe in the people of Liyue; the Sect Master also said that Liyue has a natural cognitive advantage in cultivating immortality."

Hearing this, Ganyu smiled gently; the aura of her transformation into a woman made Ningguang's eyes flicker slightly, as if she had guessed something.

For a moment, her mood became somewhat complicated.

After a moment of silence, she said in a low voice:

"Congratulations, Ganyu."

Ganyu blushed and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Shushan evolved into a world last night."

"The Sect Master said that the Merit Hall must also be fully operational; last night's world evolution spawned many fierce beasts and demonic beasts."

"The tasks in the Merit Hall must also be increased, and spiritual mineral mining will be incorporated into the Merit Hall task system."

"Also, the Sect Master said to preach more this month to improve everyone's strength as much as possible before the mountain opening."

"In short, there are many changes. You should go back and take a look when you have time. The Sect Master's decree has been delivered, and I must go."

Having said that, she hurriedly had the Azure Phoenix grow larger and flew away with her.

Keqing looked at Ningguang with some confusion.
