Modern Teyvat, bound to the Abyss Spiral

Shen He handed over her little hand, Li Qingping held it tightly, and pulled her to sit aside.

"She's already taken, so don't bother making trouble. Otherwise, I'll file a complaint with your leaders, saying your moral standards are questionable and you have inappropriate desires for high school girls."

When Li Qingping said this, he also grabbed Shen He's other little hand, saying that it was cold outside and he needed to warm it up.

After hearing this, Shen He took the initiative to extend his hand, fearing that Li Qingping would get cold.

She and Li Qingping sat together with their knees touching and shoulders side by side, looking like a perfect match. Anyone with a discerning eye could see their relationship.

Coupled with Li Qingping's previous warning, the six people were a little jealous, but helpless.

Having improper thoughts about high school girls, or is it just a question of moral standards?

That’s a serious problem that could lead to losing your job at the Liyue Police Department!

"Then don't you also have improper thoughts about high school girls?" Someone said unwillingly.

"We are classmates, and she was the one who had improper thoughts about me first."

If Li Qingping's words were applied to Keqing, she would probably be very upset and would never admit it even if she was beaten to death, but this was Shen He.

She thought about it carefully, uttered a "hmm", and then added: "It is true that I was the first to have improper thoughts about him."

Oh no, it's a young couple showing off their affection! And there's a lot of dog food!

After being shown off, they walked away silently, and one of them gave me a blessing look.

He is a very nice person!

Without being disturbed by others, Li Qingping and Shen He whispered to each other in the corner.

During this time, other people in the conference room came to say hello and explained who the seven stars were who recommended them to participate in this trip.

Li Qingping brought Shen He to greet them one by one, but they were not very enthusiastic.

Everyone in the conference room was a competitor, so greeting each other was just a matter of recognizing each other's names. They were just there for the formality and didn't pay much attention to Li Qingping and Shen He.

Li Qingping looked around at the people in the conference room and guessed the reason.

One of Shen He and he has the Ice-attribute Divine Eye, the other one doesn't even have the Divine Eye, and the remaining 14 people all have the Rock-attribute Divine Eye.

"We all came prepared." Li Qingping said with a smile.

The Demon God of Dust is the one that drives the elemental power of rock. According to the perspective of attribute compatibility, Li Qingping and Shen He have almost no hope of obtaining the inheritance.

However, there were also people who showed goodwill towards Li Qingping, and they were recommended by the contemporary Yuheng Star and the contemporary Tianquan Star.

It seemed that they took the gender of the Demon God of Dust into consideration, and all of them recommended women.

These two big guys, one is Keqing's grandfather, and the other is the person that her future boss Ningguang is going to replace.

In terms of relationship, they are closer to Li Qingping, so it is normal for the person who recommended them to show goodwill.

"Are you still cold?" Shen He asked.

"You won't feel cold at all if you're by my side." Li Qingping shook his head.

"...No one here can be as well prepared as you." Shen He responded with a red face, and stopped talking, but just silently clenched his hands tighter.

Perhaps even God couldn't stand this pair of awkward front and back tables, so he gave the green light to Xianyun and the others who were preparing to open the ruins. Everything went smoothly, and they completed the arrangements before the scheduled time.

"Come here, prepare to enter the Demon God's ruins." A Thousand Rocks Army soldier came to notify.

There was a commotion in the conference room. They all understood that the next moment was to decide their fate. Whether they could achieve success overnight depended entirely on this trip to the ruins!

A group of people walked out of the meeting room. Li Qingping and Shen He were at the end of the team and followed them to the rear of the outpost.

This is the destination of this operation, the ruins of the Demon God of Dust.

It was said to be the remains of the Demon God of Dust, but Li Qingping only saw a deep pit at first.

The deep pit is three hundred meters behind the outpost, and you can only see the situation inside clearly after walking into it.

The pit is very large, with a diameter of about 150 meters at the top. The surface is not smooth, but steps down layer by layer, with water accumulated in the concave areas on both sides.

In the center of the deep pit was a flat ground, and on the flat ground was a ruin. Li Qingping could see the remains of stone pillars and collapsed brick walls from afar.

The Qianyan Army built a staircase here.

Walking down the stairs, Li Qingping followed the team to the ruins in the deep pit.

Only after getting closer could Li Qingping see the condition of the ruins clearly.

The ruins have been exposed to wind and sun and are now more dilapidated than Qingxupu, but Li Qingping can still see their former glory from the stone pillars that have been eroded by wind and sand.

There was a stone platform in front of the ruins, around which stood Mi Nu and several Thousand Rocks soldiers, as well as two cranes and a stag.

The person at the front of the group exclaimed, "It's the immortal from Liyue!"

There are not many records about immortals in Liyue, and most people may never see an immortal in their entire lifetime.

But looking at these extraordinary fairy beasts in front of them, anyone can guess their identities.

Li Qingping had seen many immortals, but he only recognized one of the cranes as True Lord Liuyunjiefeng.

Shen He whispered in Li Qingping's ear the names of the remaining two immortals.

The one who transformed into a stag was True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang.

The other crane is the True Lord of Water and Mountain.

Including Mi Nu, there are only four immortals!

Li Qingping felt something was wrong, so he squinted his eyes and looked around, and finally saw another group of people on the other side of the pit.

Although he couldn't see their faces clearly, he could guess from their clothes that they were Grandma Ping, Fanan, and Yingda. Li Qingping didn't recognize the rest.

Among them, there was a person in yellow clothes who looked very familiar to Li Qingping, but he couldn't remember his name.

"I am the True Lord Liuyunjiefeng, so listen to me carefully."

True Lord Liuyunjiefeng interrupted Li Qingping's thoughts.

"Only the 16 of you are qualified to enter the Dust Demon Ruins this time."

"I won't mention the scenes of helping each other after entering, but I do want to remind you of one thing."

"The Demon Goddess of Dust, Hagentus, is an old acquaintance of our Liyue Immortals. She is kind and dislikes fighting."

"You probably have an idea of ​​who she will choose as her successor."

"Don't expect her to overcome all the difficulties and reach the finish line first, only to be rejected by her."

"have you understood?"

True Lord Liuyunjiefeng said in a deep voice.

Those who were qualified to enter thought for a moment and expressed their gratitude to Master Liuyun Jiefeng.

They were really prepared to kill him!

"Sister Xianyun, are you afraid that they will lose their lives in there?" Li Qingping whispered in Shen He's ear.

“Well, the residence of the Demon God of Dust is called Cloud Sea Cave Heaven, and it contains the collections of the Demon God of Dust throughout his life.

In addition to the mechanical creations she made, there are also many sophisticated mechanical creations from other countries, including the Ruin Guardians and Ruin Hunters of Kanriya.

The Liyue immortals have set up numerous defensive checkpoints within the Cloud Sea Cave Heaven. Combined with the Dust Demon God's mechanical creations, these checkpoints make it impossible for ordinary people to pass through."

Shen He felt the hot breath beside his ear, retracted his neck, hid to the other side and explained in a low voice.

Kanreya again?

Li Qingping frowned, then returned to normal.

"Thank goodness you're here. I think these levels won't be a big problem."

"Although the immortal masters have told me the key to cracking the levels, it is still a bit difficult, so I must not be careless."

"Set up the formation!" Master Liuyun Jiefeng suddenly said in a cold voice.

Their whisper was interrupted, and Li Qingping could clearly feel Sister Xianyun glaring at him.

It seems to be saying, it’s already this time, and you’re still being so affectionate!

Li Qingping felt that Sister Xianyun was actually just complaining that the person he was intimate with was Shen He and at this special time.

If you change the time and the person, maybe she will pretend not to see it.

But Li Qingping felt that he was very wronged. He was asking Shen He about the situation in Yunhai Cave in advance!

What's the point of talking about love? This is all part of the job!

True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang and True Lord Li Shui Die Shan exchanged a glance, then followed True Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng to the two sides of the stone platform.

The three of them injected immortal power into the stone platform together.

The moss-covered stone platform suddenly glowed brightly, neon lights suddenly appeared in the sky, and then hundreds of birds came and sang joyfully.

Such a strange sight shocked everyone present.

As the immortal power poured in, the ruins in the center of the deep pit also began to move.

The ground shook, and a strange rock rose in the center of the ruins.

This rock looks like a jade elephant hanging from the clouds. The round stone base with a diameter of about 20 meters is like a giant beast lying down, and it gradually converges upwards into a streamlined rock body nearly 40 meters high.

Its stone surface is stained with moss, and velvet grows in the cracks. When the winter sun passes by, it emits a soft amber light, like a drop of agar that has condensed secretly on the earth.

If it were just this, people would only marvel at the wonders of nature.

But the rocks in front of us are still engraved with mysterious and profound immortal talismans.

These talismans were golden all over and glowed faintly. They seemed to have souls and flew out from the rocks, floating in the air to protect its safety.

And in the very center of the rock, a bright yellow word "End" was carved using immortal techniques, in the ancient Liyue language.

This is Guizhong’s residence, Yunhai Dongtian.

Li Qingping had seen this kind of talismans in the Abyss Spiral. They were originally in the Guizhong Cloud Sea Cave Heaven, and were much simpler than the ones in front of him. Those were used to reinforce the mountain.

These exquisite talismans were obviously the protective measures that Gui Zhong activated after he was seriously injured and entered the Yunhai Cave Heaven. Ordinary means could not break them at all.

Liuyun Jiefengzhen no longer hesitated and immediately used his magic to take out the key that Li Qingping had previously given to Mi Nu.

A depression appeared on the stone platform, and the key made of jade plates fell into it, fitting perfectly.

"The dust is the guide, and the thousand machines return to the hidden place."

"The clouds turn and the sea reflects the flowing light."

"The cave is formless, and one thought is eternal."

"——By imperial decree, the Cloud Sea Cave Heaven opens!"

As True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng chanted the incantation, he cast the last immortal spell.

The talismans floating around the Yunhai Cave dimmed, slowly fell down, and attached themselves back to the rocks.

Before the word "end", a vague halo appeared.

"The ruins of the Demon God of Dust have been opened. You must keep this object. If your life is in danger, crush it and you can return on your own."

"Remember, you can find immortal fate again, but you only have one life."

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng gave each person a talisman and made way for them.

The remaining 14 people rushed into the Yunhai Cave Heaven first.

Li Qingping and Shen He walked at the end. When they passed by the three immortals, they nodded to them, and the last wave entered the Yunhai Cave Heaven.

After seeing everyone enter, the three immortals took a few steps back.

"Set up the formation again!"

After Master Liuyunjiefeng finished speaking, an object that looked like a Luban lock fell from the sky.

If Li Qingping were here, he would definitely recognize that this was the treasure he pieced together on the third level of the Abyss.

"Welcome the Emperor's Immortal Artifact 'Chains of the Earthly World'."

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng bowed to the Chains of the Mortal World, and then cast several magical spells around him.

A brand new immortal talisman lit up on the flat ground in the center of the deep pit, and the crystal halo formed a barrier that enveloped the sea of ​​clouds and the cave.

And the Earthly Chain is right above the barrier.

"General Xinyuan, guard this place well and be careful of any accidents."
