Chapter 1079: Yuanxia Palace Trial, Deep Sea Dragon Lizard

As for things like running errands and completing tasks, the smart and talkative Luzi naturally decided to leave it to Ying and Paimon.

We arrived at an altar on the central hillside of Haizhi Island.

On the rock, there are two blue squares that are offset at an angle to form a frame, with a mysterious symbol in the middle.

Luzi took out a glowing object that matched the pattern.

"This is called the 'Key Pattern'. It was once the pass emblem of the Yuanxia Palace. It will only appear on the ground when the passage is opened."

She pressed the physical "key pattern" in her hand onto the patterns on the rock, while speaking ancient secrets.

"It is said that this is another set of keys delivered to the people of Haizhi Island when Yuanxia Palace awakened. And according to the records of Coral Palace, there are five types of this key pattern."

The key patterns circulated in Haizhi Island and Yuanxia Palace hide a secret. After the people left Haiyuan, they pieced the key patterns together to form the Coral Palace family pattern.

"We have currently found three of them on Haizhi Island. After doing this, we can return them to their original places and lift the ban."

Luzi demonstrated it to Ying and Paimon.

The key was inserted into the key pattern, and the concave blue lines in the rock turned golden. The blue crystal on the altar emitted a blue beam of light that shot up into the sky, surrounded by water flowing continuously.

"We have specially removed these three keys from the keyholes and placed them in other places on Kaiji Island. This will make the barrier effective again. The purpose is to prevent the ignorant Naughty Kids, Fatui spies, Narukami Island residents and outsiders from sneaking in."

The matter has been explained.

Ruko immediately hid her hands in her sleeves, which was obviously the most normal behavior of a shrine maiden, but at this moment, in the eyes of Ying and Paimon, she looked like a lazy old grandfather basking in the sun in winter.

The kind who is too lazy to do any work.

Unsurprisingly.

"Powerful hero who runs as fast as the wind, go and fetch the other two 'key patterns' and reset them! They are located in 'Fins of Poseidon' and 'Heart of Poseidon', and the altar is on the line connecting them with the Coral Palace, located on the second mountain wall of Moon Bathing Abyss." Ruko pointed the route with her eyes.

Ying and Paimeng looked to the side, where Jiang Yi was chatting animatedly with his "human god priestess".

hateful……

"You said outsiders..." Paimon was a little concerned about what Luzi said before.

"Of course, this doesn't include you and Ying." Luzi responded quickly, "There are actually records in history of sending adventurers who are good at exploration down there, and it's a win-win cooperation. It's just that we haven't contacted the Adventurer's Association yet."

"so……"

"So we are the first ones to go down except for the Coral Palace Investigation Team. The treasures of your ancestors are..." Paimon's eyes lit up.

"Ahem!" Ying coughed, "Paimon, watch your eating manners."

There's no need to say this kind of thing!

Although Jiang Yi went with them as a brave man, he still agreed to let them take whatever they wanted, no matter if it was Mora or some antique treasure, as long as they handed in the books.

"However, you still have to be careful of the dangers down there. The power of the Lord God can ignore dangers, but if you two are obsessed with treasure hunting and stay too far away from the Lord God down there, it will be hard to say for sure." Luzi said in a concerned tone.

"This temporary protective barrier is also quite unreliable." She complained a little, "It took too long from investigating the key pattern's location to taking it out. During this time, several people may have slipped down. If you encounter the Fatui, the Treasure Thieves, the Sea Ghosts, etc. down there... don't be surprised, and you don't have to be polite. Just teach them all a lesson."

The "Moon Bathing Abyss Key" that I had worked so hard to obtain last time was used to perform the Sea Royal Spirit Ceremony. Only by taking away the "Moon Bathing Abyss Key" would the Abyss Palace wake up. At the same time, only by using the "Moon Bathing Abyss Key" to open the door would the trial system work.

If it weren't for the trip to Yuanxia Palace for the Hai Zhiyu Lingjiu, he could indeed sneak in by relying on the evil magic of the heterodox sect.

……

Over there, the so-called heated conversation was that Jiang Yi was listening to Coral Palace Xinhai's report on the entire Haizhi Island affairs.

Population, economy, fertility, agriculture, fisheries, shipbuilding, military, diplomacy, sacrifices... and the current attitudes of the major tribes on Haizhi Island.

“Hmm! This is top secret information that the people of Narukami Island cannot know. The weaknesses of Kaijima Island have been exposed to me…” Zhen looked like a villain, looking closely at the shrine maiden of the Coral Palace family of this generation.

"I wonder what expression this lovely present-day shrine maiden would have if she knew that the Inazuma god was inside you?"

Jiang Yi suppressed a yawn and said, "Then you can cover your ears! If you hear this, I won't be able to let you go. Otherwise, wouldn't I be a traitor in front of the people of Haizhi Island?"

"Yes! After I followed you down from Yuanxia Palace, you had to follow the public opinion of Haizhi Island and imprison me in order to keep it secret." Zhen said jokingly without any worry.

Coral Palace looked at Jiang Yi's eyes, which seemed to be serious, but were actually chatting with others: "It must be an illusion!"

"You allowed people from the Coral Palace to enter the Yin Yang Bureau of Baying Island, but I am afraid that they might reject us, so the priority people to be sent there will be people from the Coral Palace who have the blood of Baying and Ming Shen, or warriors who have a good relationship with them."

"Over at the Mengyun Shrine, the statues of you and Kaiji Daimikami are finished. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Compared to the thousand-armed statue in the temple of Feimu Village, the statue here was much easier to build and shape. In addition, although Haizhi Island was known to be short of manpower, it still had more manpower than Feimu Village. So it was completed faster than there.

"No need, let's watch it later!" Jiang Yi stared at the Coral Palace Xinhai's face that was trying to look energetic. "It's a pity that I can't even go to the Coral Palace to have a cup of tea. I, a god, was sent to the Yuanxia Palace by my own witch."

"Sorry... I'm sorry..." Coral Palace Xinhai lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed. How could he be so rude and forget these things?

Is it because they were too close when chatting on the jade slip, so they became lazy in real life?

Or are you dizzy from exhaustion?

"That's not necessary. My witch is so busy, how can I, a god, be like a child and ask for this and that and cause trouble? I feel very good when I see you." Jiang Yi stretched out his hand, and there seemed to be nectar in his hand that eliminated the fatigue in Coral Palace Xinhai's body.

"If you're too busy, take a break. Don't put all the government affairs on yourself. A shrine maiden like Ruko can do more."

"Next time in the jade slip, I will talk to you about the various systems of centralization and decentralization in my hometown. Don't be a leader who is exhausted!"

Today, the power system on Haizhi Island is a bit distorted. Look at how leisurely Yae Shenzi, who is also a priestess, is, while Xinhai of Coral Palace is as tired as Captain Mondaq, Ganyu of Liyue, and Keqing.

If the island develops and Haizhi Island becomes more prosperous in the future, it is time to change the system. Otherwise, how can one person handle all the affairs?

Coral Palace's heart looked up.

She still remembered that the last time they met, she was too tired, and Jiang Yi's solution was to provide her with various types of "refreshing potions". Although later, he still thoughtfully helped her deal with the government affairs on the day of the celebration party.

"Ok!"

The eyes like the sea under the long pink hair fluctuated slightly.

Is this what it feels like to have a living god standing behind the shrine maiden? The more you get along with them, the more incredible it feels, and it makes you want to become weak.

All the pretending to be strong shells seem to be shattered.

Over there, a dreamy hillside of blue and purple grass, bubbles floating and jellyfish swimming.

At this moment, the three key patterns returned to their positions, the vine seal on the altar was lifted, and the three blue crystals all floated up, emitting a blue light that shot up into the sky in the surrounding water.

"Let's go, Luzi is about to start the ceremony." After seeing the strange vision, Xinhai of the Coral Palace brought Jiang Yi to the sky above the Moon Bathing Abyss of Haizhi Island, to the giant pink shell that protruded from the cliff.

Ying, Paimon, and Luzi are already there.

Ying and Paimon curled their lips. The Coral Palace was indeed short-handed. They encountered the ruins guards and the sneaky Fatui at the place where they took the key patterns.

Those Fatui were taken captive and sent to Winter Solstice last time, and now a new batch has appeared. They really don't remember how to fight.

Jiang Yi looked towards the Moon Bathing Abyss.

It was a lake that looked like a well, or could be called a giant pool.

The pool water sparkles with a phosphorescent glow that resembles the moonlight all year round, hence the name "Moon Bath".

"This is the entrance to 'Yuanxia Palace'." Coral Palace Xinhai introduced.

The water and phosphorescence here are actually the remnants of the power of the deep sea and moonlight when the people of the sea were brought up.

At this moment, as the Ruko ceremony proceeds.

The pool water, with a gradient blue light like mist, flowed towards the center of the dark abyss, with countless phosphorescent lights, and even felt sticky at first glance.

The water flow changed, turning into a flowing whirlpool, the middle became brighter and brighter, as if a moon was hidden there, and the surroundings became blue.

The many waterfalls nearby flow down from the cliff, gathering the water veins of Haizhi Island and the power of the altar.

"Next, jump down and you will reach Yuanxia Palace." Coral Palace Xinhai looked at the bright whirlpool and spoke.

"Jump, jump down?" Paimon suddenly felt a little afraid of heights and a little phobia of the deep sea.

Although the whirlpool looked beautiful and dreamy, the thought of jumping into it was scary.

"Goodbye then..." Jiang Yi waved his hand.

He took a step forward, walked towards the whirlpool, and entered it, feeling full of ease.

"He made such a decisive move." Paimon was stunned.

"After all, it's a fight for my own sake." Yingke couldn't reach the whirlpool in one step, so he could only grab Paimon and fall freely together.

Coral Palace Xinhai and Luzi watched the three people disappear.

"Let's go back and prepare for the Sea Royal Spirit Sacrifice and the subsequent deity ceremony." With Jiang Yi around, Coral Palace Xinhai was not worried about failure.

She still needs to practice more for the dance she will perform at the ceremony.

"How beautiful will Lady Coral Palace be that day?" Luzi was also looking forward to it.

In the whirlpool that seems to lead directly to the bottom of the deep sea, it is like passing through a long passage full of coral moonlight, and walking through a divine road with layers of coral as steps.

The power that has remained here since ancient times is the power that the great snake has lost, and it is the compassion of the great snake's lover.

Jiang Yi did not touch it at this moment. He felt that the rules around him were changing. The rules of Teyvat were fading away, like an endless void sweeping away. He... came outside the order of heaven.

"Is this Yuanxia Palace?" Zhen also felt the changes in the rules outside. The order set by the Seven Gods did not exist here.

"Observe the way of heaven, and follow the way of heaven." The power and rules in Jiang Yi's body vibrated, "The order of rules before my eyes..."

He touched the void, and countless traces of heaven and earth appeared in his Dharma pupils.

rear,

Ying and Paimeng fell down from the top of the cave, through layers of cliffs, and fell straight down.

Below is an area of ​​water in which creatures like manta rays swim. Next to the water bank are huge pink shells that are exactly the same as those on Haizhi Island, as well as pink and purple shells that breed coral pearls, blue corals, and luminous plants.

Ying uses the wind element to fly across the water.

"Wow! It's an extremely rare creature!" Jiang Yi exclaimed in his mind.

Jiang Yi subconsciously looked over as a gourmet.

"Are you talking about the 'Divida' or 'Fomaro'?" Jiang Yi said the extremely difficult scientific name.

The manta ray-like creatures were once considered fantastical creatures, recorded only in ancient scrolls from some islands in the sea.

Of course, as the successor of Oropas, Jiang Yi naturally recognized some of Oropas' memories.

The color of this strange creature changes over time, and when young it usually appears as a light golden color like the sun. At this stage, they are named "Divda", which means "Tail of Innocence".

When they grow up, their body color darkens and their wings are covered with dark purple like the night sky. At this stage, they are named "Fomalo", which means "greedy mouth".

There shouldn't be such creatures in Yuanxia Palace. According to legend, they mistook the giant snake covered in coral for the seabed where they lived...so they followed the giant snake's arrival.

Inside and outside the body, there is life that is fertile and dependent. This is actually a normal thing for demons or dragons whose bodies are as big as coastlines.

Jiang Yi smacked his lips.

The desire to taste it fades.

People can't eat the fleas on their bodies.

"Let's go! Let's take a look ahead!" Jiang Yi took the lead and walked through the dark cave tunnel which was only illuminated by luminous plants.

A human camp appeared before us.

At the same time, the roar of a monster was heard over there.
