I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

The True Lord of Liuyun Borrowing the Wind was very pleased with himself.

It wasn't until another immortal's calm voice rang out that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's face instantly fell.

"No, no. If you claim to be a disciple of the Alchemy lineage, following the laws of heaven and earth, then my talismans can be said to manipulate creation."

The appearance of the True Lord of Moon-Shaving and Yang-Building is that of a male deer with two antlers like topaz. Li Lin maliciously speculated that his antlers could enhance male virility.

"Look at yours," Li Lin chimed in, trying to provoke a reaction.

“It is my wish, but I dare not ask.” True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang gestured for Shen He to step forward. “Shen He, please demonstrate the talisman technique for your elders.”

"Yes."

Shen He arrived at the center of the platform, skillfully withdrew his palm, and drew a few strokes in the air. Instantly, a chill gathered from the sea of ​​clouds in Jueyun.

“Fu Jun’s true form.”

In an instant, the chilling ice surface covered Shen He's fingertips, transforming according to her will, like a newly born flower, its pure white color spreading out like a ring. Some shadow peeked out from behind her, casting an indifferent glance at the mortal world.

"This is the incantation to summon generals and soldiers by relying on the power of the spirit." True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang laughed. "Liuyun, what do you think? Your disciple's skills are all taught by this immortal."

The immortal bones on Shen He's body are essentially a manifestation of her destiny. The True Lord of Shaving the Moon and Building the Sun used talismans to restrain the originally ethereal destiny and make it correspond to the destiny seat in the sky, thus enabling Shen He to light up her first destiny star.

In conjunction with the red string around her neck, this ritual protected her sense of self.

Li Lin didn't speak; he had many new ideas.

Seeing that Li Lin did not offer his opinion, the three immortals of Jueyun Pavilion resumed a new round of debate and exchange after a brief silence.

This long debate did not come to an end until three months later.

Watching the three immortals lead Shen He away, Li Lin lowered his head, looking at the boundless sea of ​​clouds surging in the distance. Then he took off the Eye of God from his waist, which he had never used before, and placed it on his knee.

He reached out and placed his hand on the ground, then closed his eyes.

In that instant, a silvery-white river surged from the depths of the earth—yet there was no sound, for it was not a river, but solidified tree roots.

This is how ley lines appear in the elemental field of vision.

One of the tree roots is passing by the foot of Mount Taiwei, resembling a pulsating blood vessel.

Li Lin remained in this posture, observing the earth's veins for seven days and nights. Then, on the eighth day, as the sun rose, he patted off non-existent dust from his body and stood up from the ground.

The earth trembled almost imperceptibly the moment he stood up.

He was getting ready to go down the mountain.

When Li Lin reached the edge of the long stone steps, his eyes suddenly lit up.

In stories, a hermit like him, wandering the mortal world, would always be accompanied by a beautiful maid, a witty servant, and a resourceful attendant...

Having snapped out of his state of enlightenment, Li Lin began to count on his fingers the candidates. A few minutes later, he sadly discovered that Jueyun Academy could only muster one person, Shen He.

......

While Li Lin was conducting scientific research in Jueyun Karst, Liyue Harbor was undergoing large-scale construction.

In the Moonlit Pavilion of Jade Capital Terrace, the True Spirit Rank Chart, which records the names of immortals, has been updated to include a new immortal of considerable rank. Although no miraculous legends about this immortal have yet circulated among the people, Liyue Harbor must show him the proper respect.

We invited a family of geomancers to survey the feng shui and determine an auspicious day; we invited the heads of the Han and Yun families to construct the earth vein suppressing stones and bury the tremor-inducing devices; we spent a large sum of money to gather workers to begin breaking ground...

All of this was for the purpose of building a temple for a new immortal.

As one of the top civil engineers and chief designers in Liyue Harbor, Keqing naturally took the lead in planning the design for this project, and even personally went to the construction site to move bricks and mix mortar.

Even though Keqing, who always advocated for an era of rule by man, was not fond of this newly emerged immortal, she still took the lead and went to the construction site every day before dawn to shout and beat the mortar. Her physical abilities as the possessor of the Eye of God made her capable of taking on ten people at once.

Meanwhile, Ningguang was still sleeping ten hours a day in the Qunyu Pavilion. Her habit of eating Mora meat pies was appreciated by the Emperor, and the Yan King Emperor dolls were still in short supply at the Star Residence.

All of this is so beautiful and breathtaking.

In Liyue, the wild beauty of Razor is only popular for a short time, while the noble beauty of Ningguang is what is admired for a long time.

"Liyue has its own national situation. According to the investigation report of the Sumeru Order, the number of people in Winterland who are starving is increasing every day. Winterland's act of sending advance teams to various parts of the continent will eventually backfire."

"You should be secretly happy to live in Liyue."

"No one in Liyue will go hungry. There are many ways to increase the wealth of low-income people. For example, low-income people can rent out their vacant houses and use the rent to increase their income."

Such remarks were commonplace and prevalent in the residences of Yujingtai.

Ke Qing was aware that people were talking about her behind her back, but as a pragmatist, she wasn't good at refuting them with words.

In the mercantilist Liyue Harbor, Keqing, the Jade Balance Star, is undoubtedly the leading figure in opening the book. Under her guidance, the Louguan, located at the intersection of Tiger Rock and Jade Peak, was finally completed today.

Ke Qing wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the magnificent building with its carved beams and painted rafters. She felt an immense sense of accomplishment.

Thinking of this, she planned to go to Wanmintang to buy some snacks to treat herself, but halfway there, her damned competitive mentality made Master Ke take out the work sheet from the General Affairs Department.

"Let me see the location and start date of my next job..."

At that moment, a commotion suddenly arose from the crowd not far away, as if someone had started arguing about something.

Ke Qing stopped in her tracks, hesitated for a moment, and then squeezed into the crowd.

"What happened?"

Sending my thoughts northward on a rainy night, and answering some questions along the way.

No internal sabotage. I'm experiencing writer's block today, so I'm taking a break and chatting with everyone.

It's not that I can't produce anything, it's just that this piece feels a bit stiff and needs some revision. Also, the update schedule is getting increasingly inconvenient, which is unacceptable to me. Rather than disrupting the update schedule, I'd rather take a break and revise the outline.

I only did half of the outline for this Genshin Impact volume because I originally planned to release it as Darker than Darker than Darker. Although Darker is incredibly cool, not many people have read it (or rather, those who have are probably older anime fans who are now working), so I was afraid readers wouldn't have a very good experience with it. Therefore, this volume will be released as a free side story.

A few days ago, when I was chatting with some friends in a group, one of them asked me about the upcoming plot development. I replied that it would be Elden first, then Godslayer. But I realized that if I wrote it that way, the development of power wouldn't make sense. Master Li's ascension to godhood as an outsider also has to be logical: the Heart of God, power, and ascending to godhood together with Nian to become the Mechanical Sky Dome. So I had to make a slight adjustment and put Godslayer before Elden.

Here are some questions asked by group members, and my answers to them.

Q1: Is Master Li connected with Lu Li, or will he eventually meet Lu Li and transcend with him?

A: This book is basically independent of the previous book. The only connection is that Master Li's system panel, which is not very useful, was hand-crafted by Lu Li. Other than that, there will be no connection.

Q2: Will Li Lin become Si Chen, or even the Supreme Si Chen?

A: No, but his condition is very special, somewhere between Sichen and the Named One.

Q3: Does this book have a female lead?

A: Yes, there is a single female lead, and she is [age missing]. As for the issue of the Heavenly Calamity, we will resolve it using methods unique to the Creator.

Q4: In this book, what level of strength does Si Chen have? I think Si Chen in the original work is quite weak.

A: Please don't hold such thoughts. Even in the original work, Si Chen's slightest passion could affect the rotation of the planet and manipulate history at will. Considering that the esoteric world has a unique setting of multiple histories and historical branches, it is at least infinitely diverse.

I don't recommend using a power level system in esoteric Buddhist worlds, because these kinds of works aren't really suited to discussing combat power. It's the mysterious and romantic atmosphere that makes them so appealing.

In this book, the esoteric universe is equivalent to many other great worlds such as Heavenly Mountain, the Nine Pure Lands, and the Eastern Spiritual Void Heaven.

Q5: How many words do you plan to write in this book?

A: If there are no unforeseen circumstances, it should be longer than the previous book.

That's all for now. If you have any other questions, I will answer them in the group.

181 Master Li rode Shenhefei

About half an hour ago, Li Lin rode Shenhe down the back mountain of Yujingtai.

Shen He cultivates immortal arts, making him light and agile, able to lift the core of the Floating Life Stone weighing thousands of kilograms in one breath. He also possesses immortal bones, allowing him to briefly ride the wind.

“I have a suggestion: you fly ahead, and I’ll sit on your shoulders,” Li Lin said seriously. “That makes perfect sense.”

Li Lin's suggestion was quite shameless, but Shen He didn't find it strange. The red rope had bound most of her emotions, and under rational thinking, Li Lin riding her to fly was a highly efficient way.

Fortunately, there weren't many people strolling around Yujingtai at the time, so they wouldn't have seen Li Lin riding on Shen He's shoulders, yelling as he bungee jumped off Tianheng Mountain.

As the fierce wind whistled past his ears, Shen He heard a loud wailing sound above his head—don't misunderstand, it was naturally Li Lin making that sound.

He was opening his mouth wide, letting the wind rush in like a fish.

It's like there's an electric fan in front of you, and someone will always open their mouth and make strange noises towards it.

Even the emotionally detached Shen He couldn't help but feel an urge to complain.

When they landed on the ground, Shen He shrugged and threw Li Lin off. In fact, she was even more unfamiliar with Liyue Harbor than Li Lin was, but the three immortals of Jueyun Mountain all agreed that she should go out into the mortal world.

Yes, even if she received the initiation of the alchemy, Shen He is still human after all. Although she has immortal bones, the chances of her shedding her mortal body and becoming an immortal are not very high.

As for Li Lin, he wanted to spar with Zhong Li on one hand, and search for the True Lord of Songchenlang City who only appeared in Liyue Harbor and did not live in Jueyun.

He already had a general idea about his body, but to achieve his goal, he needed to rely on "external scenery".

The three immortals of Jueyun Mountain were only mediocre in their ability to understand external landscapes—their own cave dwellings were in a mess, so to say they could teach Li Lin was basically nonsense.

Among the existing immortals in Liyue, the one most skilled in the Way of the Outer Realm, who can create cosmic realms with his mind, is none other than the True Lord of the City of Songduan.

“Master said that the True Lord of Gechenlang City often lingers at Yujing Terrace to admire the flowers.” Shen He took out a notebook from his sleeve, turned to a page, and read it aloud.

"I see." Li Lin nodded, and then, under Shen He's shocked gaze, he walked leisurely into the artificial lake of Yujingtai and reached out to pluck a lotus seedpod.

Is this the real person? To act freely without overstepping the bounds—no wonder he possesses such cultivation...

A thoughtful look flashed in Shen He's eyes as he stood by the lake watching Li Lin pull another golden bass out of the water.
