Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

(The plot continues along the timeline of the previous chapter. The time interval is not long, but after all, it is not the ending in the first impression, so the viewing experience is definitely different. Please bear with it.)

Liyue, between the clouds.

The place where the immortal cave is located is surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters, with peaks towering into the clouds, and the plants and flowers all seem to be imbued with immortal energy. It makes people feel more respectful and awed than any other place.

Among them, the one named Ao Zang Mountain is one of the main peaks. It is also the only fairy mountain and blessed land where people often come and go in recent years.

On this day, a lot of people gathered on this mountain again. There were all kinds of people, including immortals and mortals, immortal disciples and impoverished immortal disciples. There were many but not mixed or noisy.

There are two immortals in the shape of cranes, namely, True Lord Liuyunjiefeng with feathers as flowing as the sky, True Lord Lishuidieshan with feathers as black as ink, and True Lord Xueyuezhuyang with the shape of a deer.

There is also Grandma Ping with her snow-white hair, and True Lord Gechenlangshi. She is here, and the two True Lords in the pot are naturally here too, but they are relatively inconspicuous.

"Um, is the formation ready?"

Nan Zhangsheng, a mere mortal, looked around and saw that these guys, who were very familiar to him before, did not speak, so he spoke out to break the silence. He really could not stand this excessive silence anymore.

True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang shook his head, "Not yet. This formation is extraordinary. The items and time required to set it up are naturally extraordinary."

Nan Zhangsheng nodded. Although he was not an expert in this field, he had at least read similar books. Even if he had not eaten pork, had he seen a pig run?

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng glanced at the handsome young man and said condescendingly, "Speaking of which, it has been many years since a mortal was allowed to approach my cave."

This crane's temperament seems to have always been like this. It doesn't have any malice in it, but it is certain that it can be harsh in its words sometimes.

Grandma Ping ignored the man and the two fairies, and just looked at her disciple quietly. At the young man with white hair and wrinkled face, the anger and murderous intent in his eyes were as thick as a rock that had not melted for thousands of years.

Although Su Ping's vision was blurry, his glasses were useless due to his injuries, his immortal power was completely gone, and he was not as sharp as before. He was still sitting in a wheelchair, but he said, "Master, it's been a few days. Take a rest."

Grandma Ping raised her lips and sneered, "You are relieved now. From now on, you can't see, your legs and feet can't move, and all the dirty and tiring work will be pushed to the immortals. You will have nothing to do. Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"

Su Ping smiled and said with relief: "It has been three days since I came back, but Master has said this at least thirty times, right?"

Grandma Ping snorted coldly, straightened her hunched back, and said angrily, "If you, Su Ping, were not my disciple, and if you had not been respectful and studious in your early years, I would not care whether you lived or died!"

Su Ping restrained his smile, knowing that he could not laugh it off this time. He lowered his head and said, "It is because my disciple is not good enough in learning. Master, please punish me later."

Grandma Ping was probably so angry that she lost her mind. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you obviously know that I can't bear to punish you. You say this every time. Do you really think that I am old and have no temper left and can't punish you?"

"Master, please show mercy. Brother Su Ping also has good intentions."

"Ge Chen Langshi Zhenjun, Su Ping is seriously injured and has not recovered yet. He can't bear it."

Senior and junior sisters Shen He and Gan Yu tried to persuade them.

Grandma Ping also ignored this and stared at the child, hoping to see some remorse, but for a long time, the child only showed apology, which made her very angry.

"Su Ping! Do you really think you are such a hero, so every time you come back with a broken heart you feel extremely honored, and that those who know you and care about you in Liyue and beyond will think more highly of you than if you came back intact?

If this is the case, from now on, don't tell others that you are the old woman's disciple. Don't show off your ability and ruin the reputation of the immortal family, which already has a low reputation among its disciples. Do you hear me?"

The voice was as loud as a bell, and the words were full of the regret and reluctance of an elder for the younger generation who did not know how to advance or retreat. It was the most shouting warning she gave when she finally accepted a disciple after many years.

She also knew that if Su Ping didn't do this, he would not be the Su Ping that everyone knew, not the Kaiyang Star of Liyue today, the commander-in-chief of the Thousand Rock Army.

Su Ping's lips moved: "Disciple understands, but..."

Grandma Ping interrupted directly, saying firmly, "Alright, you don't need to preach the truth. I haven't lived in vain at my age. Don't accept me as your master until you realize your mistake!"

Shen He and Gan Yu wanted to plead for mercy, but Su Ping refused first. It is difficult for a judge to settle family affairs. This matter must be resolved by him himself, and no one else can help.

The relationship between the master and the apprentice seems to be quite tense, which just shows how much Grandma Ping cares about her. Faced with this child who always treats her well but ends up saying something different and doing something else, she is helpless and has to scold her.

Deep love and responsibility.

However, this did not have much impact on the arrangement of the formation and the things to be done next. If there was any impact, it was that Grandma Ping felt a little regretful in her heart.

This formation is called the Ten Deaths Formation, and it can easily kill people thousands of miles away. Anyone on the continent of Teyvat who is taken by a trace of flesh, blood or hair will die.

Regret, this is where it comes from.

Granny Ping wanted to personally suppress Dotore, who had harmed her apprentice to such a state, and then skin him alive, pull out his tendons, bones, cut his flesh, and let him bleed, leaving him hanging on with only one breath to experience all the tortures in the world before dying miserably.

However, time does not allow it, because the war of gods is about to break out without any warning, and Dotore's whereabouts are too secretive, and there are too many slices to count, so it is impossible to kill them all without special means.

Granny Ping glanced at the formation that was about to take shape and said angrily, "It's too good for him to die all at once!"

Nan Zhangsheng rubbed his cheeks. He didn't dare to offend anyone this time. To be honest, this was the first time he had seen Grandma Ping with such a bad temper. She was the same in this life and the last.

Xiao, one of the Three-Eyed and Five-Manifested Immortals, said nothing, but just nodded.

The Yaksha clan, burdened with karmic obstacles, are born and die every day, so it would be best if they did not create cause and effect. However, once some impression is made, it is difficult to erase it.

He didn't pay much attention to the young man's immature image at the beginning, but his bravery in charging forward and fighting the devil alone, and his bravery in confronting the devil's might with his tiny mortal body, was very similar to some existences in his impression.

Especially after that, I heard about what the young man in yellow did during his travels, even though I only heard a few words, I still felt that it was good and well done.

An ant trying to shake a tree, how ridiculous and overestimating one's own ability!

Then what about these Yakshas who are not as good as immortals or demon gods, but have to bear such heavy burdens?

"The formation is complete!"

True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang shouted, and his whole body was covered in the light of the formation, dazzling, as if he was an almighty being who could look down upon the world in the blink of an eye, and every snap of his fingers and every raise of his palm contained unparalleled immortal spirit.

Grandma Ping couldn't wait to say, "Start killing!"

No one responded, but everyone was waiting for the moment when the formation would be activated.

Of course there are media.

At that time, Mu had stayed on the flying ship for quite a while, so he must have left something behind. Even though his base had been changed, his body was still a slice of Dotore after all.

In this way, it can be considered a kind of revenge.

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang's eyes, which had been as calm as an ancient well for many years, now revealed a pride that could not be expressed in words. He laughed loudly and said, "For this formation, I spent most of the treasures in the cave and hundreds of years of cultivation. It's worth it! I haven't set up a formation of this level for many years!"

At the end of his speech, the immortal was filled with a sense of lofty ambition, as if he had returned to thousands of years ago when all the immortals were together in the world, gathering together to kill the enemies at the same time. At that time, there was endless wine to drink and endless laughter.

The immortal did not sigh any more. He raised his hoof and pushed the medium into the center of the formation. The formation, which was already radiant with light, shone even brighter, rising into the sky like a rainbow piercing the sun.

The formation split into countless white rainbows, flying in all directions. Each white rainbow represented a target to be killed. Although it was known that there were many slices of Dortore, the number was still shocking.

Nan Zhangsheng pulled the corner of his mouth and cursed, "Damn it, is Duotuolei the donkey of the production team? He is too good!"

Even Su Ping, whose eyesight was not very good now, found it really dazzling and turned his head away. It can be seen how magnificent it was.

It was not until half a cup of tea later that the white rainbow stopped and no longer gushed out, and the formation also lost its light. Even the obscure formation patterns faded away and disappeared.

Xiao turned and left, his figure flying like the wind.

Master Liuyun Jiefeng glanced at the young man in the wheelchair and said, "If Shen He and Gan Yu hadn't begged me day and night to let them go, even at the cost of 200 years of cultivation, it wouldn't have been so easy!"

In addition to Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang who set up the formation, the other immortals naturally contributed their own strength, but the consumption was not as much as the former.

Su Ping bowed with both hands and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Masters. Su Ping is grateful to you all!"

Nan Zhangsheng stroked his chin and said frivolously, "The immortals have helped a lot in this matter. It's not sincere to just say it. Brother Su is not convenient now, how about I kneel down for him and kowtow a few more times?"

"Nonsense!"

The immortals all agreed on this.

Grandma Ping was still concerned about her disciple. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "She was in a hurry when she came back three days ago, and she hasn't been back to the Jade Pavilion yet. But with your good wife's methods, she must have known about it. How will this trip end?"

Su Ping sighed and said, "Let it be."

Grandma Ping frowned and clenched her skinny hands, causing countless rocks in the distance to turn into powder.

There were some things she didn't say.

Su Ping's body is now like a dilapidated door, with leaks on all sides. It cannot be repaired completely. Even if all the immortal herbs are used, it is still unknown whether he can live another 30 years. What kind of twists and turns will happen during this period, and how much pain he will have to endure.

The future seems dark...
