Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 203 The Cultivation of Immortals

After being teased by Paimon, True Lord Liuyun felt extremely guilty.

"is that so..."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment before Liu Yun broke the silence.

"Back to Gan Yu's matter, I'm actually very glad that you came to find her. I've always felt that staying in Jueyun is probably not a good thing for her... Let me tell you a little about her."

Just when everyone thought Liu Yun was about to tell Gan Yu's childhood story again, Liu Yun raised his bird head and looked up at the sky.

"The Qilin is a benevolent beast among the immortals, drinking only sweet dew and eating only auspicious grains. But perhaps, the immortal mountains and caves amidst the towering clouds... are too lonely for her 'human' side. Last night, under the moonlight, I saw Gan Yu standing alone on the cliff edge, gazing at the mountain mists. The vast sea of ​​clouds engulfed her slender figure, and I saw her loneliness, so I wanted to go forward and persuade her to return to the mortal world... but it was also at that moment that I heard those words."

"The solitude of Liyue Harbor is more profound than that of Jueyun Karst. Watching the clouds in Jueyun Karst is merely the solitude of watching clouds alone; but stepping into the sea of ​​people in Liyue is to become [something inhuman]... a profound loneliness in this world."

After Liu Yun finished speaking, he turned his gaze back to the crowd.

"...This is exactly what Gan Yu was thinking, as I overheard her. It's very difficult for her to overcome her inner struggles alone. Therefore, I hope you can spend some time with her..."

After listening to the explanation from True Lord Liuyun, Paimon felt sad as well.

"Hmm, True Lord is right. Letting Gan Yu continue to be so depressed isn't a solution. Besides, being abandoned by Li Yue was a misunderstanding on her part... By the way, what did Gan Yu mean by 'going to cultivate' earlier?"

When Paimon asked a question, Liu Yun answered it.

"After she refused the Cloud Realm, she kept wanting to regain the feeling of being an immortal, so she asked me to arrange immortal training for her... She should be south of Mount Aozang now, preparing for her training."

"I see, let's go take a look!"

As expected, Paimon agreed to help.

But watching the three figures disappear into the distance, True Lord Liuyun still couldn't help but feel worried.

After all, this is a tribulation in Gan Yu's own heart, and only she can untie it. No matter how hard others try, it will be of no use.

All a friend can do is stay by her side when she's sad.

Following the residual elements, the group found Gan Yu.

Sensing the presence of everyone, Gan Yu also looked over.

Why did you follow me here?

Looking at Gan Yu, who appeared expressionless but seemed preoccupied, Ying replied, "I wanted to keep you company."

"Ah I..."

Gan Yu was about to refuse when she saw the worry on Ying's face, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Hmm... alright... in that case, traveler, would you like to experience the cultivation of immortals?"

Seeing that Ying nodded, Gan Yu continued speaking.

"The cultivation I am undergoing now was arranged for me by True Lord Liuyun, with the aim of helping me regain some of my sense of being an immortal. Although it incorporates some of her style and interests... I hope it will not cause you to misunderstand immortals."

"Will it be... will it be difficult?"

Seeing Paimon's nervousness, Gan Yu shook her head and said, "No, I already know her strength. The hidden power within her is no less than ours. If you're ready, let's begin?"

The cultivation arranged by the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was very much in the style of a crane.

Soaring and flying among the mountains, from one place to another.

Such spiritual practice is truly difficult for Gan Yu.

After all... Qilin doesn't have wings and isn't good at flying, right?

Fortunately, Gan Yu knows magic, so even though she can't fly, she can easily complete her cultivation.

Ying, on the other hand, was in a rather unfortunate situation. She could only glide using the Wind Wings and could only complete her training smoothly with the help of the wind field created by Huiyuan.

Not long after Gan Yu reached the finish line, Hui Yuan and Ying followed.

"You finished it successfully! How does it feel?"

Seeing Gan Yu ask, Huiyuan replied, "I'm fine. Yingmei, how are you?"

"Being an immortal is really tough..."

"Is it hard...? Not only immortals, but all living beings in the world must be like this."

Upon hearing Ying's answer, Gan Yu paused for a moment and murmured.

Unaware of Gan Yu's whisper, Paimon asked expectantly, "What are Gan Yu's plans after completing her training?"

“The cultivation is not over yet; the cultivation arranged by True Lord Liuyun is only the first step.”

"Hey! So that means there are other cultivation programs arranged by other immortals?"

Hearing this unexpected answer, Paimon asked in confusion.

Ying tentatively began to guess.

"Is it the work of True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang?"

Now that the crane's cultivation is complete, shouldn't it be time to complete the deer's cultivation?

However, to everyone's surprise, Gan Yu shook her head and rejected the answer.

"No, the only way to unleash my full potential... is to find that immortal..."

"...Who is it?"

Seeing that Paimon couldn't guess the answer, Gan Yu stopped with the riddle and directly mentioned the other person's name.

"The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons".

Although Xiao, with the help of Hunyuan, has been able to get rid of the interference of karma and has shown a cheerful side in front of Hunyuan, he is still the same as before when facing other people.

Therefore, Paimon was very surprised.

"Hey! So it's Xiao! That cold and eccentric guy actually arranged training for you?"

“At first, I also felt he was hard to approach. But I think… being able to face him is an important part of ‘retirement.’ He should be waiting for me already. If you’re interested, you can come along.”

Paimon was naturally interested in this and agreed without hesitation.

Huiyuan sent a message to Xiao on his phone to let him know in advance, and then followed Gan Yu.

Upon arriving at the South Heavenly Gate, the first thing Huiyuan saw was not Xiao, but the large tree behind Xiao.

Huiyuan recognized the tree at first glance.

The great tree is called the Fulong Tree, and the Ruotu Dragon King, the Rock Element Dragon King, is suppressed at its base.

The grass around the tree was covered with golden flowers, which emitted a golden light and seemed to contain divine power.

The Fiery Dragon Tree is enormous, estimated to be at least 100 meters tall at a glance.

In some places, the tree trunk has been replaced by blue amber.

The tree grew in a crooked shape, initially growing steadily upwards until the very top, where it was entirely blue. Then, seemingly unable to support its own weight, the branches began to extend to the sides and even grow downwards.

It seems that the superabundant magical energy caused the blue amber branches that grew on the tree to not extend with leaves.

Closing her eyes and extending her attention downwards, Huiyuan's consciousness seemed to hit a wall; she could not perceive anything below that.
