The top of Mount Ozo.

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun retracted his wings gracefully. The green and blue colors complemented the clouds and mist surrounding the mountain top, giving him an ethereal air.

There was no clue that she had just pushed someone down.

The surrounding scenery is the same as usual, except that there seem to be a few smaller pieces of amber inexplicably.

"...Hmph, stop hiding, your precious apprentice has already gone down."

Looking down at the mountains and forests, Liu Yun Jiefeng Zhenjun spoke without looking back.

As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of amber not far away suddenly turned into smoke and disappeared. When the smoke also dissipated, a kind old woman appeared on the top of the mountain.

"As expected of you... When did you discover me?"

After appearing, Grandma Ping walked over with a smile.

"..."

Hearing this, Xianhe looked back at Grandma Ping angrily and said, "This is my cave. Do you think I will set up some traps?"

"With the formations I have established and continuously improved over the past hundreds of years, not even you, not even the Emperor, can hide my whereabouts here."

oh...

Grandma Ping was stunned for a moment, then shook her head slightly and smiled.

I haven't seen this colleague for a long time, and I almost forgot that she is also a master who is proficient in formations and equipment.

"Since you have also taken out [Er Wu Feng Ling], let me tell you what you think of Ning Yu."

After coming back to her senses, Grandma Ping's smile remained unchanged and she spoke softly.

What do you think of Ning Yu?

"Very good. Even by my standards, your new apprentice is a person with excellent qualifications and character..."

Hearing this arrogant colleague make such comments, Grandma Ping's smile became even brighter, and then she asked: "Then do you think he has the strength and qualifications to take over my banner and become the current leader?"

A descendant of the Xian family in Liyue Port?"

"What is this nonsense?"

Upon hearing these words, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng glanced at Grandma Ping a little strangely, and then said: "This is your teacher's inheritance. I won't say anything about any disciples you have accepted. But if you want to say [take it]

flag], that’s a bit too much, right?”

It sounds like Grandma Ping wants to retire and is eager to find a successor.

Is it possible that this colleague who has worked with him for thousands of years wants to let go of that [contract]?

"Haha... It's not what you think. It's just that in so many years, this is the first time that I have discovered a mortal pursuing the "Pure Realm", and I have some ideas for a while."

Hearing something in the words of Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng, Grandma Ping said helplessly: "Just like the child you took in before, the child named [Shen He], the fate of Guchen Jiesha, right?"

Hearing Grandma Ping mention Shen He, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng also understood.

"I see. If that's the case..."

Having said this, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng suddenly paused.

Then, she looked at Grandma Ping, shook her head helplessly, and said: "...You are not asking this kid Ning Yu. You are clearly asking me what I think of mortals."

To be fair, they are all immortals. How could Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun not understand what Grandma Ping is thinking?

She lives in Liyue Port all year round and is the true monarch among all the immortals who has the closest contact with mortals.

Whether she is managing water and stacking mountains, slicing the moon to build the sun, or herself, she has never understood human beings.

Immortals don’t understand humans, let alone human nature.

After being silent for a while, Lord Liuyun Jiefeng raised his head, looked at Grandma Ping, and spoke softly:

"I know what you want to say. You just want to prove to me that the younger generation in Liyue already has enough potential and strength."

"Of course it's true. Whether it's Shen He, Ning Yu, or that kid Ningzhe, they all have enough qualifications."

"Their future is bright, and Liyue's future will eventually be in their hands."

"Given time, they will grow to be as powerful as us - I never doubt it."

Grandma Ping didn't speak, she just listened quietly.

"It's just that... mortals like this have fragile bloodlines. Why would the emperor personally guide Liyue's development for 3,700 years?"

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun looked at Grandma Ping with an extremely serious expression.

"Because humans are fragile and they are far from growing up."

"..."

After a long time, Grandma Ping shook her head gently and sighed.

Knew it...

Their thoughts have never changed.

The young eagle has the talent to soar into the sky, but until it grows up, it always needs the protection of the nest.

The immortals attach great importance to Liyue because Liyue is their child.

And this child has lived safely for 3,700 years under the emperor's protection and guidance. As long as the emperor is still alive, Liyue will not be in danger.

If even the most basic [survival] cannot be guaranteed, how can we talk about development and future?

only...

Grandma Ping suddenly remembered the junior whom she valued most - Ningzhe.

[Liyue, is it called Liyue because of the existence of the emperor, or is it called Liyue because of the existence of Liyue people? 】

No matter what, the wheel of the times will eventually move forward.

——It just lacks an opportunity.

"...Okay. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for many years. Where are Li Shui Lai Shan and Xi Yue Zhu Yang? How about we have a drink together?"

After coming back to her senses, Grandma Ping smiled and spoke, seemingly forgetting everything she just said.

The conflict between immortals and mortals is irreconcilable.

But as long as the emperor is still alive, the conflict between immortals and humans will not break out.

"It's true what you said."

Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng obviously didn't want to continue the previous topic. When Grandma Ping started talking, she was happy to continue.

"Speaking of which, those two guys seem to have traveled far away. They said they were going to find some rare medicinal materials in the world. I haven't felt their breath for a long time."

After saying that, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun flapped his wings with some displeasure.

She always felt that these two guys were hiding something from her. Whether they were going out for fun or doing business, they seemed to want to hide everything from her.

Well...she was very unhappy.

"Medicinal materials? Haha... I guess they are collecting medicinal materials for the emperor. It is said that the basic raw materials of [Lianli Zhenxin Powder] needed by the Great Sage of Conquering Demons are not enough."

"[Lianli Zhenxin Powder]? The origin of these medicinal materials is not..."

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun frowned, and then said with some surprise: "No wonder...are there abnormalities in the earth veins there?"

"Yes...the Great Sage of Conquering Demons has been extremely busy recently, and it is also due to this reason."

Grandma Ping sighed and thought of the troublesome thing that couldn't be said to be big.

Ever since this year's Immortal Invitation Ceremony, for some unknown reason, there have been changes in the earth's veins in the Tianqiu Valley area.

And...according to the flow of some breath, there seems to be a change in the earth here.

The main manifestations are: some plants that should not have grown here, or some animals that should not have appeared.

For example, some tree species from Inazuma.
