Chapter 514
306. Ningguang: Osial, if I call your name, do you dare to answer?
Ignoring the inquisitive gazes of the others, Ningguang extended her slender jade hand and flipped it lightly.
A purple-gold treasure gourd suddenly appeared in her palm, shimmering with a jade luster and looking like a fragile, precious object.
However, the spiritual energy occasionally circulating within it allowed Hu Tao and the others to identify it at a glance.
This was a magic treasure.
Hu Tao couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
Keqing had the Qingshuang Sword, and Bai Zhu had the pill furnace; these were their companion magic treasures.
Ningguang, needless to say, had the Tianxin Bell, the Purple-Gold Gourd, the Neon Feather Garment...
Although Ningguang wasn't covered in spiritual artifacts like Klee, she had quite a lot of contribution points, so getting a set of magic treasures was no problem.
"This thing is..."
Keqing curiously examined the gourd in Ningguang's palm.
"The Purple-Gold Gourd. Strictly speaking, it should be called a replica of the Purple-Gold Gourd."
Ningguang replied with a smile and added:
"This is a low-grade magic artifact jointly crafted by Elder Alice and Senior Sister Liuyun previously."
"It is said to be modeled after Taishang Laojun's Purple-Gold Red Gourd, possessing the terrifying power to capture people and refine their bodies."
"Anyone, once captured inside, will turn into thick liquid within an hour or three."
Hearing this, Keqing and the others gasped, looking at the gourd in Ningguang's hand with some vigilance.
This thing was too evil; turning people into thick liquid was a bit too vicious.
"This thing is good, but are you sure a low-grade magic artifact can contain Osial?"
Hu Tao looked at Ningguang suspiciously. The latter shook her head and chuckled:
"Originally, it was a low-grade magic artifact, but now, it is already a top-grade magic artifact."
"During this time, I haven't been idle, doing tasks for the Merit Hall every day, especially tasks for collecting spiritual minerals."
"A few days ago, in the spiritual mineral area, I collected Glazed Ice Crystals, which happened to be one of the materials needed for the Sect Leader to forge his own spiritual artifact."
"The Sect Leader rewarded me by forging my Purple-Gold Gourd into a top-grade magic artifact."
Although Ningguang's tone was very calm, anyone could hear the showing off in her voice.
"Originally, the Sect Leader wanted to help me forge a spiritual artifact. After all, the Glazed Ice Crystals solved a major material difficulty for the Sect Leader in forging the Heaven-Turning Seal."
"However, considering that with my current cultivation, I am completely unable to control a spiritual artifact and exert its full strength, I settled for the next best thing."
"But the Sect Leader promised me that when my cultivation breaks through and I can master a spiritual artifact, he will help me re-forge my Purple-Gold Gourd."
"In the future, this Purple-Gold Gourd will likely be my life-bound magic treasure."
Hearing this, Keqing and the others silently withdrew their gazes.
They were secretly annoyed in their hearts.
In a moment of carelessness, they had actually let Ningguang pull off a major show-off.
This was truly irritating.
"Since that's the case, then hurry up and capture him."
Keqing didn't want to linger in Ningguang's aura of superiority for too long and urged her.
Ningguang wasn't annoyed; she had already shown off today, and she felt refreshed.
"This Purple-Gold Gourd isn't something that can be used casually. Dealing with those weaker than me, or even those with strength similar to mine, naturally, I can capture them whenever I want."
"But if I'm dealing with someone stronger than me, there are requirements."
After saying that, without waiting for Keqing and the others to ask, Ningguang flew lightly in front of Osial.
This scene also made many Liyue people's hearts jump.
Although Osial had been beaten from start to finish, he was, after all, a demon god.
In a one-on-one fight, Ningguang was no match.
Getting so close, wasn't that just delivering herself to him?
But the trust in Ningguang had already been established during the battle just now, where she effortlessly summoned thunder and elegantly suppressed Osial.
Now, if Ningguang said she wanted to ascend to the throne as a god, the people of Liyue would have to carry her up there.
Ningguang and the others were gradually replacing Zhongli, becoming Liyue's new guardian gods.
The people of Liyue were naturally willing to give their trust.
They just watched Ningguang eagerly.
"The big show is coming."
On the Jade Chamber, Alice smiled and exchanged glances with Liuyun, also looking forward to Ningguang's next move.
Carrying the gourd in one hand, Ningguang stood calmly in front of Osial.
Looking at this demon god who was trying his best to attack her, Ningguang couldn't help but feel a trace of sorrow for him.
A thousand years ago, as the Overlord of the Vortex, he was the existence most likely to ascend to the position of one of the Seven.
As a result, he had to choose Liyue, a place where perverts appeared in droves, and was pressed to death in the sea by Zhongli with one slap.
Breaking the seal a thousand years later, he was still released by Zhongli specifically, and before he could take revenge, he was pressed down and hammered by a bunch of cultivators.
Osial must have destroyed the universe in his past life to suffer such crimes in this one.
This also shows that in this brand-new era, only by cultivating can one have the right to stand.
Fortunately, she, Ningguang, is a cultivator!
Osial, this lingering echo of the old era, should be swept into the trash heap along with Zhongli's abdication.
The future of Teyvat belongs to cultivators!
Slowly raising her hand, seemingly sensing Ningguang's intent, the Purple-Gold Gourd began to spin rapidly.
It bloomed with magnificent and brilliant radiance, lighting up the entire sky.
Keqing, Hu Tao, and the others watched Ningguang eagerly, expecting her Purple-Gold Gourd to display its divine power.
"Osial..."
Ningguang parted her red lips slightly and said leisurely:
"If I call your name, do you dare to answer?"
The clear question spread throughout Liyue Harbor. Suddenly, Keqing and the others almost stumbled off their flying swords.
The citizens of Liyue Harbor were also stunned.
But Osial did not hesitate.
Looking at the white-haired woman in front of him, it was she who led the current Liyue.
It was she who led people to gang up on him for a long time.
With new hatred and old grudges accumulated together, plus the torture of erosion, Osial's eyes turned red instantly.
"ROAR!!!"
A heaven-shaking roar erupted from all his heads simultaneously. Osial broke free from the golden binding belt and rushed toward Ningguang like a madman.
Shenhe frowned slightly, intending to take action to suppress Osial.
Countless people's hearts were also lifted.
But Ningguang was not panicked at all, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.
"Courageous."
The next moment, the Purple-Gold Gourd seemed to trigger some wonderful law.
It leaped from Ningguang's palm and flew into the air.
It erupted with extremely dazzling radiance, like a second sun descending upon the world.
The gourd changed direction, aiming at Osial, and an invisible but irresistible suction force bloomed from the mouth of the gourd.
Osial sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tried his best to control himself to dive into the sea.
But the more he ran, the more distant the sea felt, and even everything around him seemed to be twisting and shrinking.
Before long, Osial's vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
In Osial's heart, everything seemed to have happened over a very long time.
But in the eyes of others...
After Ningguang asked and Osial roared in response,
the gourd, with an irresistible and domineering posture, twisted Osial and sucked him inside within a few seconds. ===== CHAPTER 515 =====
