He changed Tiwat

—This is Chongyun's Frost Domain, "Spirit Blade: Chonghua Frost".

In this area, enemies will not only be hindered by the ice explosion, but the cold air generated by the ice explosion can also gather on one's own weapons, enhancing one's attack power.

At the same time, Xingqiu had already stepped into Chongyun's domain, and the sacrificial sword in his hand was also covered with a layer of frost.

Xingqiu formed a sword incantation with his hands and softly uttered, "Ancient Hua's profound secrets, weaving poetry into brocade."

Four water swords appeared out of thin air behind Xingqiu.

The ancient Chinese school's "rain-controlling method" has reappeared.

The four water swords followed Xingqiu's sword finger and shot towards the "Relic Heavy Machine's" knee—did he still remember Xiangling's earlier words, "Shoot it in the knee"?

The knees of the "Relic Heavy Machine" are none other than two energy cores radiating intense light.

Logically speaking, although Xingqiu's water sword was sharp, it shouldn't have been able to penetrate the thick iron armor on this "Relic Heavy Machine"—but his purpose was never to defeat it.

The four water swords split into two groups, striking the energy furnace core on the leg of the "Relic Heavy Machine".

The elemental reaction triggered by the water sword, which contains the power of water and ice, is, of course, freezing!

This is a combined offensive by Xingqiu and Chongyun, with the ice water frozen solid, making them invincible.

In an instant, the legs of the "Relic Heavy Machine" were frozen in place, and no matter how much force it had, it could not move for a while.

Meanwhile, the main force of the team had already rushed to the front of the "Ruins Heavy Machine".

This key player is, of course, Xiangling.

Even without the help of the Demon God Maxiuse, Xiangling's own strength is absolutely not to be underestimated. Don't let her being just a cook fool you—Jiang Xue, the strongest human in Liyue, looks like just a fisherman. Moreover, chefs work incredibly hard to obtain precious ingredients. If this were another world, Xiangling's title might not be "Head Chef of Wanmin Hall," but rather "Gourmet Hunter."

For example, Xiangling's recipe includes a dish called "roasted spider".

The spider she roasted wasn't some small, beneficial insect that spins webs in ordinary households; it was a giant spider, as tall as a person, deep in a secret realm.

Those were mutated spiders gathered at the base of the "silver-white ancient tree".

The "silver-white ancient tree" that Han Fulai once saw in the giant abyss of layered rocks was already considered quite "young". Slightly more mature "silver-white ancient trees" can generally grow to two or three kilometers tall; and at the base of the tree, there are often those mutated giant spiders.

Xiangling had met the famous Master Abedo during her previous culinary trip to Mondstadt. The two ventured into the secret realm together, and Xiangling thanked Abedo for his help with this "roasted spider" dish.

In Abedo's words, "Those spiders, bound tightly with gardenia and lemongrass, smeared with cardamom, and smoked for several hours, the aroma was truly... unforgettable."

—Xiangling didn't just suddenly decide to go to Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain to find some "dragon meat steak"; she was genuinely confident that she could fight that legendary demonic dragon.

Inherited from the spear technique of the first Celestial Lord of Liyue, the opponent is never a human—but a dragon.

The "Destroyer of Dragons" spear in Xiangling's hand, a treasured possession of Granny Ping, is a weapon forged with countless drops of blood from the battlefield. It is a genuine dragon-slaying spear that once killed a giant dragon.

The "Celestial Extinction in a Box" spear is seven feet seven inches long. Its black blade gleams faintly with an ebony sheen under the light, a single, cold glint gleaming at the tip like a twinkling star. There are no ornate tassels; instead, a twisted golden dragon spirals from the hilt upwards and coils around the neck, the nine-inch spearhead resembling half a sharp sword. Refined wrought iron covers the front two feet and five inches of the shaft before the remaining portion reveals its reddish-brown hue.

In the legends of dragon slaying heroes circulating in Liyue, this spear was forged by Kunwu, the ancestor of the renowned Kun family of craftsmen. Legend has it that when Kunwu forged this spear, he used a dragon's spine as its core and its claws as its point. Therefore, the spear is incredibly strong and unbreakable, its tip exceptionally sharp, and its cold gleam carries the ferocity of a dragon.

Legend has it that this spear originally had a dragon-shaped wooden box to store the spearhead. Thus, once the spear was drawn, it could kill dragons with dragons.

Once, a valiant dragon slayer, wielding this spear, dominated the oceans, battling sea monsters. Years later, the dragon-slaying hero vanished without a trace, and only the roar of dragons echoed across the sea.

The hero has become a legend in the streets, and the dragon-slaying spear has been lost along with the legend.

Half of these legends are true.

The spear was indeed made by Kunwu, and it was indeed made from the bones of an evil dragon. The dragon-slaying warrior did exist, and the evil dragon did indeed come from the sea… However, the dragon-slaying warrior was not a brave man, but a beautiful and valiant woman. This woman used this spear to pierce the legendary Chi beast that stained Qingce Mountain with its blood.

The Chi Beast was suppressed by the Emperor and his celestial army, and its parts were divided and sealed deep beneath Liyue. Meanwhile, Granny Ping took her "spoils of war" and commissioned a master craftsman to forge the "Destroyer of the Sun in a Box".

Now that the spear is unsheathed, its sharpness is like a dragon returning to the sea, no longer needing to be restrained—no matter what calamity lies in its way, it can pierce through it with the speed of a meteor.

But then Xiangling flicked her vermilion spear, and a dragon's roar echoed in the wind!

The "Relic Heavy Machine," whose legs were frozen, seemed to sense the threat from its opponent. It slammed its hands down, and at the same time, lasers shot out from its newly recovered eyes. This was its combination move, "Slap Light Stream."

Xiangling completely ignored the "Relic Heavy Machine's" attack. She had clearly seen the laser strike the Jade Pendant's shield and knew just how powerful her defenses were.

She only needs to unleash her strongest attack to finish off the enemy.

"Let me see Master's marksmanship!"

Xiangling twirled her hands, and flames roared up from the spear—an inextinguishable fire in this world.

Her gun, like a spinning wheel of fire, rolled towards the "Relic Heavy Machine Gun".

The fire wheel spun faster and faster, and the fire grew stronger and stronger, eventually transforming into a fiery tornado several meters high that completely enveloped the "Relic Heavy Machine".

This is Xiangling's "Great Tornado Fire Wheel".

After a series of dull thuds, the three energy cores of the charred and charred "Relic Heavy Machine" went out simultaneously, never to be used again.

Xiangling, on the other hand, had already sheathed her spear, clapped her hands, and looked as if she had just finished cooking a delicious meal.

Faced with this situation, Han Fulai finally blurted out one sentence—

"Xiangling did all the damage!"

After dealing with the guards at the ruins, the group finally approached the stone tablet at the ruins.

The writings left by Fushe Yaksha are few, just a few sentences, reflecting his own character: courageous and decisive.

"My name is Fushe, one of the 'Immortal Yakshas,' who have fought alongside the Emperor against demons and plagues. I know that although the Yakshas possess great power, they are bound by karmic obstacles and tainted by lingering resentment. Now that Liyue has stabilized somewhat, among the 'Immortal Yakshas,' only Jinpeng and I remain unharmed. I only wish to escape the mortal world and end this life."

"Things belonging to oneself are placed here and sealed with magic. Those with the right destiny can unlock them and retrieve them."

That concludes Fushe's comments.

His message was also a seal of his magic.

The golden light of immortal energy shimmered, remaining as solid as ever even after five hundred years.

Han Fulai extended his palm toward the few lines of text composed of immortal power.

—For Fushe Yaksha, who is the "destined one"? Who is qualified to break the seal on his immortal power and obtain the treasures and "national treasures" he left behind?

Of course, it was his old friends who fought alongside him, the Liyue Asgardians—and the Geo Archon to whom he swore allegiance.

The imperial power within him is also the key to unlocking the seal.

The two beams of immortal power merged and gradually disappeared, and the words left by the Floating Yaksha finally vanished.

With everyone's combined efforts, they lifted the huge stone tablet of the ruins, revealing a three-meter square pit beneath it, in which a large treasure chest was buried.

Well, judging by the size of this treasure chest, it should be classified as a "magnificent treasure chest"—although the chest itself is actually quite ordinary.

There was no special seal on the treasure chest.

Upon opening the treasure chest, Han Fulai saw the "Guardian of the Nation," a "weapon of immense weight."

He immediately understood why this bow had been given to the Fishu Yaksha—

This bow is over eight feet eight inches long, even longer than Xiangling and Hutao's spears, clearly not a weapon that Xiao could use... Only a legendary four-armed giant over three meters tall could pull this two-meter-long bow. Anyone who sees this longbow would not doubt its name of "a thousand pounds".

"...This is the legendary 'Suspended Dawn' jade..." Xingqiu's focus was different from Han Fulai's.

As the heir of the Feiyun Merchant Guild, who had been accustomed to seeing all kinds of jewels since childhood, Xingqiu couldn't help but marvel at the bow he saw—because the bow itself could glow.

Even locked in the dark underground, it has steadfastly radiated its verdant light for five hundred years.

The longbow, cast entirely from the emerald-colored "Xuanli" jade, radiating light even in the darkest of nights, was a treasure unlike any other seen before by anyone present. Even if it wasn't a divine artifact crafted by the Rock King Emperor, it was already a national treasure simply as a work of art.

Han Fulai's hand touched the longbow.

The moment he touched the longbow, a familiar feeling welled up in his heart—a warmth like sunshine.

Half a month ago, Han Fulai had touched the same thing beneath the towering cliffs.

Lumenite is a crystal with a deep blue color like the sky and a surface that seems to shimmer with light.

This "Suspended Lift" contains the same light energy as "Luminite".

The strange crystal that shines brightly at the bottom of the deepest, darkest layer of rock, and the longbow that can radiate light in the deepest, darkest night, are actually the same.

—Perhaps all the "luminous pearls" and other gemstones that exist in Liyue are the same thing.

They all come from the Abyss of the Rocky Mountains and are products of the Sky Isles.

In some mysterious way, he seemed to have formed a strange connection with the power of light from Sky Island.

Han Fulai carefully put away the longbow. He already knew how to use it.

With this "Suspended Might," it is indeed possible to expel the evil spirits from Xiao's spirit—just as the "Pursina Light Nail" absorbed the black mud that clung to Zhiqiong's body.

The treasure chest contained some remnants of the Floating Yaksha, mainly Mora, along with some silk, gems, and handcrafted utensils. It didn't seem like something a celestial would need; rather, it appeared to be tribute from mortals to a celestial. For the Floating Yaksha, these items might have been a memento of his illustrious achievements for Liyue.

None of them touched the treasures left behind by Fushe; they were sealed away as they were.

These treasures will be received by a lucky traveler who has gone bankrupt from eating emergency food and is now searching for treasure.

A precious experience of fainting

Yes, that's right. Yesterday, the author experienced his first "fainting," which is the kind of coma that we often describe in novels.

Last night I was typing on my computer. After sitting for a long time, I stood up to go to the bathroom. When I got to the bathroom, I suddenly felt my heart pounding, blood rushing to my head, and then everything went black and I collapsed.

The kind where you suddenly lose consciousness while standing.

It seems that his head and chest/abdomen hit the sink, but fortunately it was just bruises and nothing serious.

I collapsed and was unconscious for a while. My family found me, and when I regained consciousness, the first thing that popped into my head was what the next paragraph of the half-written update would be...

He was taken to the hospital emergency room, where several doctors, including cardiologists and neurologists, consulted on his case. A CT scan, electrocardiogram, and MRI all cost several thousand dollars…

Attached medical records:

—The results told me that my cardiovascular system was fine, and I didn't have high blood pressure or anything like that; I was just exhausted and fainted.

I've been too busy lately and haven't been getting enough sleep...

I'm the kind of person who, if I set a goal to write 4,000 words today, I'll do it no matter how busy I am or how late I have to stay up. Otherwise, I feel uneasy, like I've missed something. My willpower is too strong, and my body is protesting, haha.

Later, when I got home, I finished writing today's update...

But staying alive is the priority. I might need to rest and get some tests done. If I suddenly disappear, it means I'm in the hospital. If everything is fine, I should be back after a rest.

that's all.

Chapter 345 It's That Woman [4k]

In terms of straight-line distance, Mount Oozang and Jueyunjian are not far apart. If one had the ability to fly like an immortal, it would only take less than half an hour to fly north from the highest peak of Jueyunjian, Qingyunding, to Mount Oozang.

But if you're traveling on foot or by horse-drawn carriage, that's a different story.

As the saying goes, "seeing a mountain can be a tiring journey," there is no road connecting Jueyunjian and Aozangshan. If the group wants to get to Aozangshan from here, they have to detour through Huaguanglin.

"Huaguang Forest" is not a forest, but a "peak forest", which consists of stone peaks that stand like pavilions in the Huaguang Sea of ​​Mist.

Those stone peaks rise straight up and down, like stone pillars stuck into the ground, creating a spectacular sight.

Each stone peak in Huaguang Forest is connected only by a rope bridge two zhang wide. The winds in the air are extremely strong, often causing the rope bridges to sway violently. Ordinary people would be terrified just by looking at them, let alone use the rope bridges to cross. Apart from adventurers who are very confident in their skills and herb gatherers who are willing to risk their lives, few people dare to enter Aozang Mountain through Huaguang Forest.

Those who do not wish to cross the suspension bridge in the air must detour on the ground.

This section of the road is densely forested and has a complex network of paths, including ancient mountain trails and paths carved out by herb gatherers. Even the most experienced driver can easily get lost, and ordinary travelers will find it even more difficult to find their way.

Such a geographical environment does indeed meet the reclusive needs of the True Lord of Clouds and Wind – even those who come to seek immortality have to consider whether they have the life to reach Mount Aozang.

But for Han Fulai and his group, this path was far from friendly.

Even though Han Fulai had visited the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng at Mount Aozang during the Lantern Festival with Keqing and remembered the route, he still didn't dare to travel at night. So after obtaining the "Suspended Li Qianjun" scroll left by Fushe Yaksha from the ruins of Jueyunjian, the group stayed overnight at the foot of Mount Jueyunjian and set off at sunrise the next day.

It wasn't until after noon that the group arrived at the Liuyun Cave in Aozang Mountain.

The most famous scenic spot on Mount Aozang is undoubtedly the lake in front of the Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun Cave.

That lake is known as "Heavenly Pool" in Liyue. According to a herbalist who was fortunate enough to visit the top of Mount Aozang and see the "Heavenly Pool," the lake is thousands of feet deep and as cold as ice. Even the best fishermen cannot reach the bottom of the lake. The lake is also home to a mythical fish that can prolong life if eaten, called the "Longevity Immortal."

Xingqiu and the other three were visiting the immortal cave of Aozang Mountain for the first time, and were naturally curious about the place. Upon seeing the "Heavenly Pool", they kept asking Han Fulai questions.

As a "regular" visitor to Mount Ozang several times, Han Fulai patiently answered all their questions about Mount Ozang.

—The claim that the water is a thousand feet deep is obviously false. This small lake on Mount Aozang was a landscape created by Master Liuyun himself, and it is no different from the pond in the courtyard of an ordinary wealthy household. It is not necessary to dig it that deep.

The water in "Heavenly Lake" isn't cold at all; in fact, it's warm and sweet enough to drink directly. Gan Yu and Shen He drank a lot of this lake water when they were cultivating on Mount Aozang.

—The "immortal immortal" really exists.

That is a rare butterflyfish that lives in Liyue, now only appearing in the waters near the Celestial Abode. The pale pink markings on its body are ethereal and otherworldly, and it has a longer lifespan than other fish of its kind, thus it is considered an auspicious fish bestowed by the Celestials.

Liu Yun Zhenjun specifically mentioned that this "Longevity Immortal" was an ornamental fish she kept—not for eating, and eating it would not have the effect of prolonging life.

The group arrived at the stone tablet of Liuyun Zhenjun Cave.
