Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

In the bustling city, they were talking as they sped.

Before we knew it, the desert landscape ahead gradually faded from sight, replaced by increasingly lush trees and vaguely visible tropical jungles.

It's as if this once lifeless desert is awakening and moving step by step towards its prosperous past.

In fact, ever since the new Grass God Naberis took over five hundred years ago, he has been committed to repairing the wounds left by his predecessor.

Unfortunately, he was just a fledgling official, ranking last among the "Seven Rulers of the World", with great ambition but insufficient strength.

Although Naberis spent five hundred years slowly governing the area, he was able to restore only one third of "Sumeru" to its original state.

At this rate, it will take at least a thousand years to return to its heyday... By that time, everything will have changed.

Even so, "Sumeru" is still proud of being the center of the world and proud of being a wise explorer.

Here is the world's largest academic hall - "Sumeru Academy", which is said to gather the world's most wise scholars.

There are countless unsolved mysteries hidden on the majestic "Mount Sumeru".

Now, Li Mochen and his party are heading towards "Mount Sumeru", ready to uncover the secrets of this peak of wisdom.

When the Qun Yu Pavilion flew close to the target, looking down from a thousand meters in the air, a vast expanse of emerald green came into view.

Thanks to the power of the grass elemental god Naberis, vegetation flourishes, and the closer to his residence, the faster the plants grow.

In this revitalized area, a magnificent sacred mountain several thousand meters high rises from the ground.

"Mount Sumeru" is a sacred symbol for the people living on it.

Flowers and fruits are in abundance, fragrance is everywhere, and exotic birds sing in harmony.

On top of this sacred mountain that reaches into the sky, in addition to scientific research institutions headed by the "Sumeru Teaching Institute", there is also the legendary "Grass Elemental God" Naberis, who has been in charge here since five hundred years ago.

"Is this the legendary Mount Xumi? It is indeed unique."

Even Keqing couldn't help but admire the mountain.

As the oldest existing mountain, "Mt. Xumi" has undergone countless years of repair and is like a magnificent giant city.

There are three levels of "Seven Treasures Stairs" on the mountain, namely upper, middle and lower, with seven layers of treasure walls, seven layers of railings, seven layers of nets, seven layers of trees, etc. on both sides.

From a distance, there are many buildings scattered on the mountain, and each layer has a unique world, like a geometric combination of miniature cities or villages.

Normally, tens of thousands of residents have already lived and practiced on "Mount Xumi" and have been active in various corners.

They read in the sunshine, picked ripe fruits, or talked about everything in the rainforest.

Everything here is closely connected with nature, because people here believe that nature is close to the truth.

However, today's "Mt. Xumi" is not peaceful.

Because the "Fire God Enmu Festival" which has not been held for a thousand years is about to be held on the top of the mountain, and the protagonists "Liyue. Thousand Rocks" and "Zhiwinter. Fatui" will arrive today.

They will stay here overnight to prepare for the fierce battle tomorrow.

Normally, most scholars in "Sumeru Mountain" are not interested in such competitions.

But because of this game, spectators from the other six countries have already flocked to the top of the mountain.

Due to the large number of tourists, the "Sumeru Teaching House" is conducting strict inspections to prevent any bad elements from sneaking in.

The sun gradually rose to its highest point, and according to estimates, the two countries' teams should be arriving soon.

The audience waiting on the top of the mountain were discussing enthusiastically, predicting how the two sides would perform, and some even opened a bet.

"Come on, come on, buy it! You can make a lot of money by watching the game!"

"Boss, why are the odds of Winter So Low so low? Is 10 to 1 appropriate?"

"There is nothing we can do. There are too many people who bought Solstice. After all, although the Fatui are arrogant, they are indeed very strong."

"Humph, what's so great about that? I believe Liyue will win!"

"so what?"

"So I...I'll buy 100,000 Mora from Winter Solstice, thank you."

Some people say nice things but their bodies are very honest.

Judging from the odds given by gamblers, it is obvious that everyone is more optimistic about Zhidong winning tomorrow's game.

Dong! Dong! Dong! As the gamblers and the audience chatted, three exciting bell sounds echoed throughout the "Sumeru Mountain".

The bell rang, and the guests arrived.

The number of bell sounds represents the guest's status; the more bell sounds, the higher the guest's status.

Three bells mean a visit from a national dignitary.

"Here it comes! Here it comes! Everyone get ready to welcome it!"

"Is it from Zhidong or Liyue?"

"There! It's huge! What is that? A palace flying in the sky?"

Instantly, an eagle-eyed spectator shouted, pointing his finger at the rolling clouds in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow appeared in the sky, and thick clouds rolled over, raising white air waves.

Then, a real castle in the sky slowly descended to the top of "Mt. Sumeru".

The golden glazed tiles sparkle in the sun, and the two dragons on the eaves seem to be flying into the sky.

Watching it slowly descend, like a golden island inserted into the mountain, it was extremely shocking.

Is this... the legendary Qun Yu Pavilion?

Although many people have heard that there is a floating sky palace in Liyue, they did not expect it to be so spectacular.

As the Qun Yu Pavilion slowly descended, people standing by the "mountaintop landing platform" made comments.

"This is the Qun Yu Pavilion. They are so rich and willful."

"Indeed, how much would it cost to have so many floating stones?"

"No way, they have money."

These people wore black cloaks common in the "Sumeri" region, with copper edges and special rabbit-ear-shaped hoods.

They are members of the "Sumeru Teachings Institute", the largest organization that controls "Sumeru" today.
