Chapter 72

"Congratulations to the Emperor for achieving Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit, and taking a step further on the path of cultivation!"

Zhongli waved his hand and said casually:

"It's just Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit, there is still a long way to go."

Ningguang and the others were somewhat silent.

Zhongli, this guy...

Is he humble-bragging?

"This tribulation crossing was indeed thrilling, but it was also because you didn't have many cultivation means, otherwise it wouldn't have been so difficult."

Jiang Yan smiled lightly:

"After that, go to the Scripture Pavilion more often."

Zhongli nodded decisively.

"That is natural."

Having said this, Zhongli turned to look at Ningguang and the others, whose expressions were complex, and said helplessly:

"Since you have already discovered it, if you have any questions, just ask."

Ningguang pursed her lips and said softly:

"Should we call you Emperor... or Mr. Zhongli?"

51. Ningguang wants to establish a sect contribution system

Hearing Ningguang's question, Zhongli pondered for a moment.

Perhaps because the tribulation was over, his strength had greatly increased, and he was in a good mood.

He simply made a joke.

"Outside of Shushan, it should be Zhongli, but in Shushan..."

"Do I probably need to be called Peak Master?"

Upon hearing this, the originally somewhat solidified atmosphere suddenly cleared.

Ningguang smiled with relief:

"Then, Peak Master Zhongli, I wonder why you wanted to hide your identity and live in Liyue?"

Zhongli's gaze was somewhat melodious, and after a moment of silence, he said softly:

"Some time ago, in the rain, I heard a merchant say to a dock worker, 'Your work is finished, you can go and rest.'"

"I was thinking, I have led Liyue for more than three thousand seven hundred years. Have I finished my work well, and when can I rest?"

"Until the Rite of Descension last year, the Yuheng Star asked me that question."

"I think, it's time for me to rest."

Zhongli looked at Keqing with a gentle gaze, which made Keqing somewhat embarrassed.

"Liyue has moved forward for more than three thousand seven hundred years; this is not the end. My departure will only be a new starting point for Liyue."

"Especially now that you have stepped onto the path of cultivation, I have seen the abilities of the Tianquan Star and the Yuheng Star."

"I believe that if Liyue is handed over to you, you will make her better."

"In this way, I can finally rest assured."

"I originally planned to fake my death at this year's Rite of Descension, and I had already thought of the reason... dying while crossing the tribulation..."

As he spoke, Zhongli looked at Jiang Yan with amusement.

"Who would have thought that I would almost really die crossing the tribulation today? Indeed, one should not make vows lightly."

Jiang Yan shook his head with amusement.

Shushan will not take the blame for this.

"Originally, according to the plan, at this year's Rite of Descension, I would completely retire from the identity of the Geo Archon, leaving only Zhongli."

"I didn't expect to be seen by you now."

"But I don't think I need to test you. I believe in your abilities."

"Since that's the case, let's talk openly."

Zhongli straightened his expression and said seriously:

"Tianquan Star, Yuheng Star, from today on, I will step down from the position of Geo Archon. From now on, Liyue will be handed over to the people of Liyue."

"Do you have the confidence to lead Liyue forward, to the point where even I need to look up to it?"

Ningguang and Keqing immediately became solemn, stood up, and said seriously:

"We naturally do!"

"Very good!"

Zhongli nodded slightly and smiled:

"In this way, I can rest assured. At this year's Rite of Descension, I will completely fake my death and escape."

"From now on, Liyue belongs to Liyue."

"I can also cultivate with peace of mind and strive to become the true Peak Master of Dragon Head Peak as soon as possible."

Ningguang and Keqing were overjoyed, looked at each other, and countless ambitions instantly burned in their hearts.

Originally, they had confidence, and now, under the Liyue of humans themselves, and under the Shushan cultivation sect.

They had ten thousand percent certainty to make Liyue stronger and stronger.

Liuyun and the others on the side opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but finally didn't say it.

Zhongli is tired enough; he wants to rest.

Now he can cultivate with peace of mind.

There is no need to continue to force Zhongli to lead Liyue.

Moreover, although the immortals have never had a good face for Ningguang and the others.

But for the abilities and means of Ningguang and the others, there is nothing to say.

Perhaps, this is the best result.

It's just that after Zhongli abdicated, Ganyu on the side was somewhat thoughtful.

She has also been the secretary of the Qixing for more than a thousand years.

It's reasonable to take a break, right?

By then...

Looking at Jiang Yan's figure, Ganyu suddenly had an impulse.

"Everyone's Zhou Tian Qi Circulation method has already been introduced. After that, you can cultivate in Shushan with peace of mind."

"It is truly fortunate that Shushan has recruited such geniuses today, and that the Peak Master of Dragon Head Peak has returned."

"Logically speaking, the bell should ring three times to announce it to the world, but now that everything in Shushan is being rebuilt, let's not toss about."

Jiang Yan looked at everyone with a smile and said softly:

"I wonder if officially stepping onto the path of cultivation meets your psychological expectations?"

"It is naturally far beyond expectations."

Ningguang smiled happily and added:

"In addition, I have one more request for Peak Master Zhongli."

Zhongli realized and said softly:

"It's about martial arts techniques. When I have free time, I will naturally find a way for you as soon as possible."

To be honest, Zhongli already thought of quite a few martial arts techniques, combined with his original immortal arts, plus understanding the essence of spiritual energy.

Zhongli could completely and easily create some martial arts techniques.

But he needs to analyze according to the strength of the Millelith and research the most suitable techniques.

Of course, before that...

Zhongli also wanted to go to the Scripture Pavilion first.

After crossing the tribulation, Zhongli also understood the difference between having techniques and not having them.

If he had techniques, why would his tribulation crossing be so difficult?

A cultivator without techniques is like a child holding a pistol, able to fire, but not necessarily hitting the target.

Of course, it is still a threat.

Cultivation techniques must be practiced.
