Chapter 35

Bringing it up in front of so many people, did she not want to save face?

As a proper Liyue immortal, her talent for cultivating immortality was not as good as Ningguang’s?

So it turned out she wasn’t as good at cultivating as Ningguang, a mortal!

Cloud Retainer radiated resentment, sitting to the side, pouting.

Moon Carver, who was to the side, shook his head helplessly.

Cloud Retainer, this fellow, just had to jump out and lose face.

Thanks to Zhongli for not exposing their old secrets as well.

A proper Liyue immortal not having as strong a talent for cultivation as a mortal Tianquan Star—where could one go to reason about this?

Keqing was also somewhat embarrassed; she hadn’t expected to really expose Cloud Retainer’s shortcoming.

Fearing that Cloud Retainer would hold a grudge, she hurriedly changed the subject.

“In other words, Ningguang’s talent is indeed one in ten thousand?”

Zhongli nodded slightly, with a faint smile, seemingly very satisfied that Liyue had produced so many geniuses.

“Indeed, according to Fellow Daoist Jiang, back when Shushan was flourishing, top-grade spiritual roots were still rare and would be good seedlings that the elders would fight over.”

Keqing raised an eyebrow and looked at Ningguang with a light smile.

“It seems you also have the capital to become an immortal.”

Ningguang felt joy in her heart, but considering that Cloud Retainer was still recovering from the blow, she didn’t dare to show it.

One still had to give the immortal some face.

Moreover, looking at the guilty expressions of Moon Carver and Mountain Shaper, she figured their talents weren’t as good as hers either.

To say more would be impolite.

“Let’s put aside the spiritual roots for now. I wanted to try using the world-surveying function just now, why…”

As soon as she finished speaking, a cloud of energy spread across the surface of the Profound Origin Mirror, blurring like ink in water.

Ningguang suddenly understood.

“So it only requires a verbal command? What a miraculous treasure.”

The others also became interested, and Keqing urged:

“Ningguang, show it, I can’t see it.”

Ningguang nodded slightly, saying with some regret:

“A good treasure, it would be better if it could be larger.”

In an instant, the Profound Origin Mirror flew out of her hand, suspended in the air, and instantly transformed into a huge screen of light.

Everyone gasped in succession.

“Incredible, following one’s heart—this is truly the means of an immortal!”

Keqing, in her excitement, said something rather inappropriate, which made Mountain Shaper and the others somewhat embarrassed.

But from the bottom of their hearts, they also felt that this thing was truly outrageous.

Ningguang looked at the Profound Origin Mirror and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said:

“Liyue Harbor!”

The water mist instantly spread, as if from a bird’s-eye view from the sky, the mirror encompassed the entire Liyue Harbor.

It even included the Jade Chamber where everyone was currently located.

Keqing’s gaze tightened, and she quickly stood up and walked outside the door.

She looked up, waved her hand, and then turned back into the conference room.

“Just now you…”

“We could see it!”

Ningguang pointed at the Profound Origin Mirror with some surprise.

“Just now, when you waved outside, Keqing, we saw it clearly!”

Keqing immediately became serious.

“Is that so? It really is a miraculous treasure. With this thing, we can monitor every part of Liyue without leaving our homes.”

Ningguang did not answer, as if she had suddenly unlocked her potential.

She reached out and gently touched the ethereal mirror surface, and the image was instantly stretched, rapidly focusing on Liyue Harbor below.

A sneaky figure appeared in the image.

Not far from the entrance of the General Affairs Office, Qiqi was standing there in a daze.

It seemed she had forgotten what she was supposed to do again.

Hu Tao chuckled and pulled a large sack from somewhere.

“Dust to dust, earth to earth… this time, you can rest in peace, Qiqi!”

After saying that, she leaped up and tried to bag Qiqi.

Qiqi immediately reacted and turned to run.

“Don’t run! It’ll be quick, Qiqi! Soon you will be liberated!”

“Hot! Annoying person… Dr. Baizhu, save Qiqi!”

The two of them ran and chased, making the street restless.

Zhongli was somewhat embarrassed and coughed lightly:

“Let someone go down and help Qiqi out.”

Ningguang was also somewhat helpless and summoned Baiwen to notify Baizhu immediately.

After waiting for a short while, in the image, Baiwen hurriedly brought Baizhu to save Qiqi.

Hu Tao made a face and turned into golden plum blossoms, disappearing.

Only then did Ningguang withdraw the image from the Profound Origin Mirror.

“It is truly miraculous and unparalleled. With this mirror, Liyue will have no more secrets in our eyes!”

Keqing punched the air with excitement.

Ningguang, however, frowned slightly and continued to reach out to control the Profound Origin Mirror.

This time, the image switched to the middle of the ocean.

Deep under the sea, several rock pillars rose from the ground, surrounded by many complex immortal power runes.

It seemed to be a secret realm.

“This is… Osial’s seal!”

Xiao was somewhat surprised.

“To be able to survey such deep seas! Mr. Jiang’s words were indeed true.”

Ningguang did not stop and manipulated the Profound Origin Mirror to go deeper.

The image instantly crossed the seal, and at this moment, what appeared before everyone was the huge and ferocious body of the Vortex Archon, Osial.

It was curled up in the immortal power seal, seemingly closing its eyes to rest.

“It can actually cross the seal to observe!”

Zhongli was instantly shocked, looking at the Profound Origin Mirror in disbelief.

While pleasantly surprised, he was also somewhat worried.

Pleasantly surprised because he seemed to be able to use this thing to check on Azhdaha’s state.

As for the worry…

The immortal power seal was already somewhat damaged; he hoped the immortals wouldn’t notice.

Otherwise, the big show that followed would be hard to perform.

Fortunately, Ningguang did not observe for long, although she felt that continuing to observe Osial wouldn’t trigger a reaction.

But what if?

Ningguang did not want to create extra complications.

Looking up, Ningguang said seriously:

“It seems the situation has been confirmed.”

“The Profound Origin Mirror truly surveys the nine heavens above and observes the seas below, and can even penetrate Rex Lapis’s immortal power seal.”

“The value of this thing is truly hard to estimate.”

“With this treasure, many things in Liyue can be easily solved; at the very least, we can be informed in time to make arrangements.”

Keqing nodded, and another bold idea came to her.
