Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 90 Zhongli: After working for a month, it’s time to retire
"Then why don't you just wipe out the Gale and Oba families? Wouldn't that be something you can just do with a wave of your sleeves? Why do you have to create some kind of fusion or alliance?"

"Do you think I'm a murderer?" Zhongli asked slowly, holding his chin with his hand.

"Huh? How dare you say that? In the past wars with demons, you were the only one who killed more enemies than me. Apart from you, no one else can be compared with me. Back then, when you were holding a rock spear, rushing down from the sky and instantly piercing the body of the demon Osel, why didn't you say that? Why didn't you ask Osel at that time?" Wendy said slowly with a helpless look on her face.

"Hmm... not so bad. I haven't experienced such a large-scale killing in thousands of years since the Demon War."

"So I say, why don't you just unify the Douqi Continent by force? That would be the easiest and quickest, wouldn't it?"

"But the bloodbath during the Demon God War was mainly caused by outsiders invading Liyue's people. As Liyue's god, protecting them is my mission and responsibility. But the problem now is that none of my people are here, and my people are the foundation of unity. If I simply suppress them by force, it'll be fine while I'm here. But if one day I travel through time again and can never return to this Douqi Continent, then Douqi Continent will be in turmoil, and every blade of grass will be an enemy. It will become a hell created by my own hands...! Wouldn't that go against my original intention?"

Zhongli turned around slowly, and the soft sunlight shone through the window lattice into Xiao Yixian's bedroom.

The environment is warm and the person on the bed is lazy.

The air was filled with warmth, and the person on the bed looked relaxed and at ease.

"Alas, I also wish my little apprentice could live a carefree and unfettered life, living a life of innocence forever. But in order to ensure that she can survive in this world where the strong prey on the weak when she doesn't have my protection, I can only let her go through some trials and tribulations."

"So, aren't you planning to join us on this journey to the Northern Forest of the Izumo Empire to search for the strange fire?"

"I will first fulfill the contract with Princess Yun Luoxi of the Izumo Empire. As for Emperor Hun Tian and Void Devouring Flame, I have decided to keep them hidden in the dark, so they don't need to show up on a daily basis. Yao Chen's strength is among the best in the entire Northwest Continent. Even if he encounters a formidable Dou Zong master, he will surely be able to overcome the danger. After all, only through experiencing the test of life and death can it be considered true tempering."

"Besides, don't you wish to be free of my body? After completing your contract with the Princess of the Izumo Empire, it's time to prepare for the resurrection of your physical body."

"This requires a treasure that is unique to this world and has extremely strong wind properties. I learned from your conversation with them that there are strange fire and strange thunder in this world, so does that mean there is also 'strange wind'?" Wendy asked excitedly.

Zhongli: "...I'm sorry, but there really isn't one. Even the Strange Thunder is little known. While the Strange Fires are renowned, and there are more than one Strange Fire from the fourth to the twenty-third, there are still many people who never even see the splendor of a single Strange Fire in their entire lives."

Wendy: "What a disappointing guy."

"However... there are one or two special strange fires and strange lightnings that contain a large amount of wind elemental power."

"Oh wow!" Wendy's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and she quickly asked, "Grandpa, I knew you never let me down. Tell me quickly, what are these strange fires and thunders?"

"The Burning Sky Feather Thunder, ranked 22nd on the Strange Thunder List, and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, ranked 18th and the Nine Nether Wind Flame, ranked 10th on the Strange Fire List—these natural treasures actually contain extremely powerful wind elemental forces. Although the fire element still dominates, based on my understanding of the strength of the Scarlet Flame Burning Thunder and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the wind elemental force within them should be enough for you to condense a small wind source field." "That's perfect! After you complete that contract, we'll go find them."

"That's true, but I don't know the exact location of these three natural treasures."

"Huh? Didn't you mention earlier that you could sense any scene of strange lightning?"

"That's true, but I can only see the scene where the strange thunder is located, and whether it is in a state of being swallowed, but I can't directly lock its location, so the hope of finding the Burning Sky Feather Thunder is quite slim."

"However, the most promising one is the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, ranked 18th on the Strange Fire List. This Strange Fire is born in the eye of a fire tornado in the ancient desert. Unlike other Strange Fires, it has no fixed location, but appears randomly anywhere in the desert during the hottest days of the year. It is extremely rare. When unleashed, it forms a tornado, combining wind and fire. The flames reach hundreds of meters high, roaring and spinning like a giant fire dragon. It possesses extremely destructive power, turning everything it touches into a sea of ​​fire."

"So after we send these two kids away, how about we just take a leisurely stroll into the desert?"

"Very good. What I desire now is a leisurely wandering in the world. I have poured so much effort into my two disciples because I didn't want to leave any regrets in their hearts. Now, as their master, I have done my best, and it is time for me to retire."

"Hey, they say a teacher is a father for life, but you've only been a teacher for a month and you're already thinking of retiring and enjoying a peaceful life, right?"

"Why not? I simply hope that Xiao Yan and Little Medical Immortal can become more independent. Furthermore, if Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame wish to acquire Dou Emperor Qi from me, they must first ensure the safety of these two children. I believe that few on this continent can rival them when they join forces."

"Is the Gu Yuan, the peak nine-star Dou Sheng they mentioned before, considered one?" Wendy recalled the conversation with Emperor Kong in the Soul Realm that day.

Perhaps he could only manage a draw against the Soul Emperor. If he encountered the Void Devouring Flame, he would most likely injure it, and the situation wouldn't be too dire. However, these two often went out together, so if Gu Yuan were to fight them alone, his chances of winning wouldn't be great, but escaping shouldn't be a problem.

"It should be considered a draw with the Soul Emperor. If he faces the Void Devouring Flame, he will most likely be injured, but the situation won't be too bad. However, these two people basically act together, so if Gu Yuan fights them alone, I think he will have little chance of winning, but escaping should be no problem."
