Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

There were many Qianyan soldiers standing guard on the high stone stairs of Yujing Terrace to maintain order.

Entering the Yujing Terrace, you will find winding stone steps and corridors, lotus ponds, strange rocks, ancient trees and exotic flowers. It is a multi-storey luxurious garden with a very high terrain and a very large area.

There were countless tourists from Liyue and other countries, all chatting and laughing as they waited for the ceremony to begin.

An altar has been set up at the highest and most central place of Yujing Terrace. On the altar stands a huge incense burner. The seven-star staff in uniform are busy and orderly placing fruits, delicacies, incense and candles on the altar for offering.

Paimeng suddenly remembered something and reminded Kong and Su: "I heard that making a wish in front of the incense burner on the day of the annual invitation ceremony is very effective. Do you want to try it?"

Paimon pointed to several incense burners surrounded by the crowd and said, "For example, Kong can wish to find his sister as soon as possible, and Su can wish to restore his memory."

Kong's eyes lit up, and he led Su and Paimon towards the wishing incense burner.

Many people were praying devoutly in front of the big incense burner for making wishes. There were not only local people from Liyue, but also foreigners with high noses, deep eyes and light hair.

A plump lady opened her eyes after making a wish and smiled kindly when she saw the boys and girls queuing behind her.

"Are you here to get some immortal energy as well? Haha, you know very well. If you make a wish on this day, the emperor and the immortals will bless you. I have made all the wishes, so I will give this place to you."

"Thank you!" Paimeng thanked him crisply, then pushed Su and Kong, "Hurry up, hurry up."

Sora stood in front of the incense burner, clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

If possible, please let me find Ying as soon as possible.

Su, who had no memory to restore, was forced to do it by Paimon. After thinking for a while, he closed his eyes and made a wish -

I want an extremely powerful shield-type elemental skill. I want an extremely powerful shield-type elemental skill. I want an extremely powerful shield-type elemental skill!

At a moment when no one noticed, the incense burner lit up with a golden light for a moment.

After making the wish, the group of travelers walked back while chatting, and they almost bumped into the altar without paying attention.

A Seven Stars staff member in charge of the altar immediately shouted, "Stop! The Seven Stars are calling on the gods, all irrelevant people please stay away and do not move forward!"

The white-haired beauty who was standing among the staff and was busy giving orders glanced over here.

Paimon was frightened by his staff, but dared not say anything. He just said in a low voice: "Tsk, so stingy!"

An enthusiastic merchant from the Kingdom of Winter came closer and asked, "Is this your first time in Liyue? This is also my first time to watch the [Seven Stars Summoning the Immortals Ceremony]. Look! That is the [Heavenly Power Star] among the Seven Stars of Liyue, Lady Ningguang. Only these bigwigs who control Liyue are qualified to preside over the [Summoning the Immortals Ceremony]."

The Ningguang that the businessman was referring to was the white-haired beauty just now.

Ningguang has long hair like white silk, with tassels swaying in front of her forehead. She uses a ginkgo branch-shaped hairpin to tie up part of her hair behind her head, while part of her hair falls softly behind her.

She was wearing a luxurious cheongsam with ginkgo elements and gold edges. Her long black gloves covered her entire arms, and her fingers had long, sharp armor sleeves.

She is a wealthy and beautiful woman who is glittering and unattainable.

"By the way, did you know that most of the immortals in Liyue are in animal form? I heard that even the Emperor Yanwang would show his half-unicorn, half-dragon immortal body in such formal occasions!"

The winter merchant said excitedly, "Although it is a foreign custom, I can still feel the strong sense of ritual. It is really awe-inspiring. Ah, it's my turn to make a wish. Goodbye, young man."

Liyue immortal, in beast form.

Su's eyes lit up! Kong and Paimon also thought of Xiao.

"In that case, does Xiao also have a beast form?" Paimon was very curious, "After all, he is also an immortal, I wonder what his beast form would look like?"

"Hmm... I can't guess." Sora turned to Su, "Sui is curious too, right?"

"I think it looks like a bird!" Su was very sure.

The kind with emerald green feathers and flies very fast!

"Really? Hmm, that's a bit hard to imagine. How about asking Xiao to show us next time? I can give him my favorite snacks." Paimon was rarely generous.

——*——*——

They chatted to pass the time. Gradually, more and more people came to watch the ceremony, and the team of travelers was pushed to the back of the crowd.

"There are too many people here. We can't see anything clearly!" Paimon took the lead and flew forward. "Let's squeeze back!"

Paimon's small figure disappeared into the crowd, and Su immediately charged forward upon seeing this.

Finally, Sora quietly followed while apologizing to the complaining crowd.

The Traveler Team successfully returned to the best viewing spot in the front row, waiting for Emperor Rock to appear, and then asking him about the whereabouts of Sora's relatives.

Ningguang, who was sitting in front of the altar, looked up at the sky. The sun had already risen to its highest point.

It's almost time.

Ningguang stepped forward solemnly and announced to the people watching the ceremony: "The auspicious time has arrived."

The staff on both sides bowed and retreated together. The rest of the ceremony will be performed by Lord Ningguang of Tianquan Star alone.

Ningguang closed her eyes and raised her hand. A golden aura burst out and several transparent gems gradually solidified. The gems spun around her and gradually spun faster and faster.

Ningguang turned to face the altar, her hands clenched into sword fingers, and the gemstone condensed by elemental power was thrown into the incense burner in the center of the altar as she wished.

The incense burner began to emit a golden light, which became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a golden beam of light that gushed out and shot straight into the sky.

The clouds in the sky were dyed with the colors of wealth and auspiciousness, and the clouds and mist rolled and surged, as if a giant creature was swimming among them.

But gradually the golden light faded, and the wind and clouds began to change color.

Dark clouds replaced the previous auspicious clouds, the light was swallowed up, and Yujingtai became dim.

Ningguang seemed to sense something and took a quick look at the altar with a little uneasiness, but found nothing unusual.

At this time, the sound of the wind gradually became sharper, with a faint roar of thunder. Ningguang, who was always in control of the situation, frowned.

In the tense atmosphere, a red flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and then a huge dragon fell from the sky and landed heavily on the altar!

Smoke and dust rose up, and the crowd fled in all directions, screaming in fear and anxiety.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the giant dragon with golden mane seemed to struggle with its last bit of strength, but in the end its claws and head fell down irretrievably. Its eyes and beard, which were like flowing gold, also became dim as its life passed away.

Ningguang gasped, rushed forward with mixed emotions, and carefully checked the situation.

The crowd that had previously avoided was whispering in the distance, various speculations and statements were fermenting, and the crowd was becoming more and more uneasy.

Ningguang, who had finally completed her investigation, told the most frightening fact:

"The emperor has been killed! Lock down the whole place!"

Ningguang reacted quickly and dispatched a large number of Qianyan troops to surround and control Yujingtai, investigate all the people present, and find the murderer.
