Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

Chapter 234 "Musk Reef"

In historical documents about Xumi, the "Pointed Hat Peak" is described as being steep and rugged, like a pointed hat. There is no path to reach it, and no one can reach its top.

To this day, the exact height of the mountain remains a mystery, as no living creature has ever been able to reach the top, which makes it the undisputed highest mountain in the world.

However, what puzzled Lisa was not the altitude of the Pointed Hat Peak, but Leonard's description of it in the book: "When you really stand in front of the mountain, you will find that it is so steep that there is almost no place to stand. It seems to be a whole piece of strange and carefully carved boulder, abrupt and magnificent."

Leonard described the Peak so vividly in his book, A Record of Mountains and Seas. Lisa was skeptical.

Based on her understanding of geology, she pointed out: "Mountains in nature cannot be like pointed hats that pierce the sky and are difficult to walk on. Mountains are made of a variety of materials such as sand, soil, and rocks. They are not made of a single material and must have a rugged and undulating surface."

How can such a mountain appear to be as smooth and steep as a sculpture, making it impossible to climb?

Facing Lisa's doubts, Li Mochen touched the back of his head and asked, "So, what do you think the conclusion is?"

Lisa thought for a moment and gave a rather bizarre answer: "From an academic point of view, 'Pointed Hat Peak' may not be a mountain at all, but more like something similar to a mountain."

Not a mountain? But something that looks like a mountain? Li Mochen couldn't help but frown when he heard this explanation. He really couldn't imagine anything that could be higher than any mountain in the world, even reaching the clouds.

"If such a thing really exists, who built it? And who built it?"

"According to the oldest written records, 'Pointed Hat Peak' has existed for a long time, and its history may be tens of thousands of years."

"Ten thousand years? Could it be that it was created by humans ten thousand years ago?"

"From this perspective, perhaps this huge relic should be attributed to 'prehistoric civilization'."

Prehistoric civilization refers to the remains of civilizations from various periods before humans have recorded history. Among the scholars of "Sumeru", there is a school that focuses on studying such civilizations. Many prehistoric civilization sites show that in the distant ancient times, there was life on the "Continent of Teyvat" and developed a very advanced civilized society.

The history of the "Continent of Teyvat" recorded today is only five or six thousand years, which is just a drop in the ocean compared to the long history of the world.

Li Mochen couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly when he heard Lisa mention "prehistoric civilization". Originally, he was just looking for Leonard and his obsession - "Pointed Hat Peak". According to Mona, the root of this meteor shower lies in Leonard's earth-shaking obsession with "Pointed Hat Peak", so that his spirit is still entrenched in the "Fate Seat" two thousand years later.

The key is to find the core meteorite that carries Leonard's spiritual power. Only by eliminating this core meteorite can all the people trapped in the dream wake up and the incident come to an end.

In contrast, Li Mochen was more concerned about where this mysterious place was than exploring whether the "Pointed Hat Peak" was a mysterious building built by prehistoric civilization. As far as he knew, there was no such strange mountain in the Mond area.

However, when Li Mochen asked about the exact location of the "Pointed Hat Peak", Lisa told him: "In fact, the 'Pointed Hat Peak' no longer exists."

"No longer exists?" Li Mochen asked in surprise.

"When the wind god Barbatos was promoted, he used his divine power to disperse the ice and snow, flatten the mountains, and greatly changed the landscape."

At that time, Mondstadt was not suitable for human habitation. It was covered with ice and snow all day long, and the land was frozen. In order for people to grow crops and build homes, Barbatos finally showed his majesty as a god. After that massive landform transformation, the "Pointed Hat Peak" that originally towered into the clouds disappeared from the world.

"So, that guy has done some things that are consistent with his duties as a priest." Li Mochen said with emotion.

At this moment, someone next to the fountain trembled and sneezed.

Lisa then took out a world map and pointed to the vast sea east of Mond. In this sea, there was a small island with the name "Musk Reef" marked next to it.

Upon learning this, Li Mochen flew to the island far away from the mainland. During the flight, he repeatedly thought about Lisa's last words.

"But then again, I have always had my doubts about the transformation of 'Pointed Hat Peak' into 'Musk Reef'."

"Who do you suspect? What do you suspect?"

"I suspect that the wind god Barbatos has some information that we don't know, so he made this seemingly meaningless move."

In Lisa's opinion, it is understandable that Barbatos blew away the ice and snow and flattened the mountains so that the people of Mondstadt could better build their homes and careers. However, the problem is that the "Pointed Hat Peak" is not located in Mondstadt, but is located alone in the east of Mondstadt.

To this day, the Musk Reef is still located dozens of miles away from the easternmost coast of Mondstadt. Unlike the people of Liyue who rely on the sea for their livelihood, the people of Mondstadt basically do not live by the sea, and there are very few people living by the sea. Therefore, whether the Musk Reef has a high mountain has no effect on the establishment of Mondstadt.

From this point of view, it seems that Barbatos's complete flattening of the "Pointy Hat Peak" was a complete waste of time for the Mond people.

But, Barbatos…Will Wendy do something meaningless?

In Li Mochen's eyes, Wendy is a far-sighted god. After returning the Heart of God to the lady, he made a prophecy to Morax. This prophecy was later fulfilled, and Zhongli really faced a similar dilemma.

It can be seen from this that Barbatos is a true wise man, and his seemingly unruly and freedom-loving image is just a disguise. Such a wise man would not flatten his "pointed hat peak" out of a whim or boredom.

So why did Wendy do this? Why did he completely flatten the legendary mountain that reached the sky, or the ruins?

Wait, straight to the sky? Am I missing something important?

On the way to "Musk Reef", Li Mochen looked up at the sky and seemed to have realized something in an instant.
