Chapter 262
"Clorinde, you have passed the assessment; choose a batch of suitable people to go to Liyue to sign up."
"Depart tomorrow."
Clorinde nodded; departing tomorrow was a bit rushed.
She was a Vision holder, so her travel speed was naturally faster than others.
But if it were ordinary people, or even a large force moving out, it wouldn't be a matter of a day or two.
Moreover, information had to be sent to Liyue; after all, with a large group of people going to Liyue together, they had to give notice.
Neuvillette looked at Furina, pondered for a moment, and said softly:
"Lady Furina, I think you should also go to Liyue to take a look."
"Huh? What kind of joke are you making!"
Furina frowned and looked at Neuvillette.
"I am the Hydro Archon! How can I just leave Fontaine so casually!"
"But hasn't Barbatos already left Mondstadt?"
Neuvillette's gaze flickered with a hint of deep meaning.
"The tremors of the Primordial Sea have temporarily subsided; in the short term, Fontaine shouldn't have any problems."
"I can keep an eye on things here. By comparison, I think you going to Liyue is the more appropriate choice."
Furina was stunned for a moment and avoided Neuvillette's gaze.
She always felt that this guy seemed to have seen something.
However, what Neuvillette said did make sense.
Right now, the Primordial Sea was calm, and that big guy had also been scared; it shouldn't make any moves in the short term.
Since that was the case...
she could also try cultivating immortality.
Perhaps, this was a more perfect solution?
Furina's heart was set, and her face showed some determination.
"Good! That's settled!"
"Depart tomorrow, and I will go too! Go to Liyue to sign up and participate in the Mountain-Opening Ceremony!"
163. Alice: I Observe That Miko Has the Potential of Su Daji!
Shushan.
As the turmoil caused by cultivating immortality increasingly swept across all of Teyvat,
Qingluan's tribulation was also nearing its end.
At this moment, Qingluan no longer had her previous spirited appearance; instead, she looked somewhat gray and dusty.
The gorgeous and smooth feathers on her body were falling off in large patches, and those that remained were all scorched by the lightning.
However, that was just looking somewhat disheveled; in reality, she hadn't suffered too serious an injury.
This was all thanks to the life-saving measures Jiang Yan had left for Qingluan; otherwise, this little guy would likely have been seriously injured by now.
But even so, looking at the disheveled Qingluan, who was still letting out mournful cries in the sky from time to time,
Ganyu's heart was broken.
She wished she could take the tribulation for Qingluan.
Now, Ganyu had experienced the heartache of being a mother.
Qingluan's tribulation, on the other hand, made Alice somewhat restless.
Thinking that Klee would have to go through this one day, she couldn't help but feel afraid.
If she could, she really hoped Klee would never have to pass a tribulation in the future.
But obviously, that was impossible; the little guy's talent was the best in Shushan.
How long had it been, and she had already started closed-door cultivation to break through to the mid-stage of Refining Essence into Qi under Jiang Yan's arrangement.
Thinking about it, within a thousand years, she would be able to surpass her mother.
After all, Klee was a proper Red Emperor Burning Heaven Body.
Qingluan circled in the sky, staring at the last bolt of tribulation lightning.
The frequency of her flapping wings was already very low.
The occasional cries, in Ganyu's ears, were entirely Qingluan's panic and pain.
Ganyu ignored the gazes of others and gripped Jiang Yan's sleeve tightly.
This made Zhongli and the others feel emotional.
Ganyu had finally succeeded.
However, this might not be a good thing.
Cloud Retainer sighed in her heart, looking at Ganyu with some heartache.
Jiang Yan was a very qualified Sect Master and an incredibly powerful and talented cultivator.
But he might not necessarily be a good partner.
This was not Jiang Yan's fault; it could only be blamed on the fact that the gap between Ganyu and him was too large.
Ganyu only had a top-grade spiritual root; although her talent was also considered very strong, she couldn't compare to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was not only the Shushan Sect Master but also an Innate Dao Body that only existed in myths and legends.
Now he was already at the peak of Refining Spirit into Void; further up was Refining Void into Dao.
At that time, Jiang Yan would have to start preparing for ascension.
With his talent, reaching the peak of Refining Spirit into Void before the age of thirty,
he would likely ascend to the Immortal World within a thousand years.
By then, Ganyu and Jiang Yan would face another long separation.
That was the true separation between immortal and mortal.
How long would it take for Ganyu to ascend to the Immortal World?
A few thousand years?
Tens of thousands of years?
Over a hundred thousand years?
These long years were an insurmountable chasm for cultivators.
By comparison, just a short time of less than a thousand years together, in the eyes of cultivators, was likely just a fleeting moment.
How many memories could Ganyu leave in Jiang Yan's heart?
Jiang Yan's heart was always focused on the revitalization of Shushan.
He was the strongest in Shushan and bore the responsibility of Shushan's prosperity; it was destined that he would not have too much thought for romantic entanglements.
But this kind of thing was the business of the lovers themselves.
Ganyu was not stupid; perhaps she had long since figured it out.
Cloud Retainer simply stopped thinking about it and ignored the matter between Ganyu and Jiang Yan.
After an unknown amount of time, the final bolt of lightning turned into a lightning net that covered the sky and earth.
It completely blocked any area for Qingluan to escape.
The purple-black lightning was filled with a tyrannical and murderous aura that destroyed everything.
It seemed that under this lightning, no creature could escape.
Yae Miko's heart trembled, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
The aura contained in this kind of lightning was far beyond the level she could understand or accept.
If she continued to watch, her spirit might be impacted.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, a fierce light flashed in Qingluan's eyes, and her final spiritual power turned into a storm.
A huge tornado rose from the ground, lifting Qingluan and heading straight for the lightning tribulation.
The lightning and the tornado collided with a roar.
Green light and purple energy swept across an area of tens of thousands of miles, obscuring the sky and sun.
Instantly, this area became barren, and even the ground was pressed down by several meters.
Yae Miko observed from the corner of her eye, feeling somewhat shocked in her heart.
If this lightning tribulation were to bloom in Inazuma, half of Narukami Island would likely sink.
