Chapter 26

Zhongli listened to the noisy Alice in his ear, and for a while, his head was big.

After a long while, he said slowly:

"Are the Tree and the Sea so terrifying to you?"

"You're still mentioning it!"

Alice's voice became sharp again.

"Are you trying to make me go back and blow you up!"

Zhongli sighed.

"Calm down, I just want to know what the universe outside is like. This is very important to me and to Teyvat."

"This is not important to you! This is not something you need to worry about! You just stay in Teyvat peacefully!"

Alice replied coldly.

"Since that's the case, I already know your answer. Teyvat is really an existence attached to this multiverse."

Alice on the opposite side was silent.

After a long while, she finally noticed something wrong and said in a deep voice:

"How did you know the concept of the multiverse! Who told you about the Tree and the Sea!"

"This is not important to you, and this is not something you need to worry about."

Immediately, the petty Golden Big Dragon used Alice's words to retort to her.

Alice was furious.

"Fine, fine, fine, you say so, right? There should be others beside you. Let me guess, is it Xiao and the others? Xiao, listen, when I came to Liyue back then..."

"Alright! I'll tell you!"

Zhongli hurriedly interrupted Alice, secretly wiping sweat in his heart.

This crazy woman has no filter; if she exposes his dark history, how will he mix in the future?

"Speak, I want to see what kind of existence has drilled into Teyvat under our noses!"

Alice's eyes were cold, looking at the boundless Dark Sea.

She hasn't traveled for so many years, isn't it because Klee hasn't grown up and she has to guard Teyvat?

Now that dirty things dare to drill in, isn't that slapping her face?

It seems that it's been a long time since she went out, and the guys in the Quantum Sea have forgotten her prestige.

"Before I tell you, I want to ask you one thing."

Zhongli paused and said softly:

"You have traveled to countless worlds. I want to ask you, do you know about cultivation?"

"Huh?"

Alice rubbed her ears incredibly.

"You, an ancestor of all immortals, ask me, a witch, if I understand cultivation?"

"No, it's not the kind of cultivation in Teyvat, but a higher level of cultivation."

Zhongli refuted and added:

"Or to put it this way, do you know about the heavens and myriad realms?"

Alice was silent.

The heavens and myriad realms, this really asked her blind spot.

Zhongli could guess it, and couldn't help but feel a bit amused in his heart.

The witch who has always been omniscient was actually stumped by him.

It was really a relief.

"The matter started a hundred days ago. That day, Teyvat came with a person from outside the sky..."

Immediately after, Zhongli roughly told Jiang Yan's origin, the power he displayed, and even what Jiang Yan said about Shushan and so on.

Alice at the border felt more and more absurd the more she listened.

She felt that Zhongli was telling some kind of story.

But he never joked, especially about such big things.

So...

Is there really a cultivator?

And he is in Teyvat?

Alice was a bit excited for a while.

Legendary cultivators, as an existence who has traveled to many worlds, reading novels is naturally Alice's hobby.

Alice understood the term cultivation very well.

But before, she only treated it as a pastime.

Now it seems...

She was wrong.

Cultivator...

Refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into Spirit...

Passing the tribulation and ascending...

Heavens and myriad realms, Great Luo Immortals, Shushan Sword Sect...

These vast and magnificent stories made Alice feel restless for a while.

She didn't know if it was good or bad that a cultivator came to Teyvat.

However, according to what Zhongli said, Jiang Yan is now in the Refining Spirit and Returning to Void realm, I'm afraid he is no longer something Celestia and the Hexenzirkel can deal with.

And this is still before he has become an immortal, and even before he has walked the path of human extremity.

Calculated this way, perhaps Jiang Yan doesn't need to become an immortal; as long as he becomes a Refining Void and Combining Dao cultivator, Teyvat's problems can be solved.

Perhaps he can even pull up the Imaginary Tree.

For a moment, a glimmer of hope ignited in Alice's heart.

"Alice, are you listening? Can you give me an answer?"

Zhongli's voice interrupted Alice's contemplation.

The latter came back to her senses and said softly:

"When traveling to other worlds, I did hear about cultivation, but mostly they were some novel stories."

"I didn't expect there to be real cultivators."

"Heavens and myriad realms? It seems my vision is still very narrow."

Zhongli raised his eyebrows and said uncertainly:

"Do you think the heavens and myriad realms Jiang Yan spoke of really exist?"

Alice asked back:

"Many people in Teyvat think Teyvat is the only world. Before this, I also thought the Tree and the Sea were the origin of all worlds."

"What do you think?"

Zhongli was speechless, but in his heart, he had already given eight points of trust to the heavens and myriad realms.

"Then... what about the cultivation and Shushan he spoke of?"

"I don't know."

21. Alice: If you really have cultivation, I won't be sleepy anymore

"I have traveled to many worlds and have indeed heard the name Shushan in the Shenzhou mainland of many worlds."

"But they are all famous mountains and rivers, nothing special."

"However, the myths he told, Nuwa, Haotian, Sanqing, etc., these are circulated in many worlds."

"According to what he said, the Great Luo is immortal and reflects the heavens, which fits this statement."

"I can't judge, you explore it yourselves."

In the end, Alice didn't give any constructive advice.

After all, these things really asked into her blind spot.

Zhongli pondered for a moment and added:

"So, you support us in cultivating."
