The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

The apostles, with their shields activated, arrived. Kong had ordered them to activate their shields not to fight, but to prevent them from being caught in the aftershocks of the battle.

"Send a few people up there to investigate."

"Yuanshang, go to Yuanxia Palace and bring back 'The Past of the Sun and Moon.' Take your few escaped fellows with you!"

In the brief moment of respite, he arranged the Abyss Order's next move.

Chapter 276 "The Dead Emperor"

2023-11-06

"Hiccup~"

"???"

Yu Jin sat on the steps of the Golden House, turning his head in surprise. Had he just heard someone hiccup?

It's not a person hiccuping, it's a golden tree.

The branches of the golden tree emitted an even more dazzling light, causing the entire Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body to faintly glow with golden light.

The true god of precious gold!

"I am full?"

Yu Jin looked at the golden tree before him, patted its branches, and said. It seemed the golden tree had truly found something good; its joy mingled with its movements, even overflowing.

But the Golden Tree clearly disliked the power of the Abyss before. It can only be said that fate plays tricks on trees.

Upon hearing Ember's words, the swaying golden tree immediately fell silent. Its branches swayed from side to side, indicating that it was far from full.

"Eat your fill, then get to work!"

Ember seemed not to see the Golden Tree's actions, ignoring the fact that the Golden Tree was not full, and forced it to start working.

Nonsense, if they really wanted the Golden Tree to be well-fed, the Embers would probably have to slaughter everyone in Teyvat from south to north.

The golden tree has an enormous appetite.

The golden tree trembled. It wanted to protest the embers' exploitation of child labor, but after thinking it over, it decided against it.

It was afraid of being hit.

The golden tree's outstretched branches retracted back into the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body; it was now about to exert its strength.

"Crack!"

As the sound of rubble being crushed came, the wounds on the Immortal Ancestor's physical body, which had only recovered slightly, began to heal rapidly.

The jade grew out of thin air, filling the gaps left by the embers. In a short while, the Immortal Ancestor's physical form was restored to its original state.

But before Yu Jin could even rejoice, the Immortal Ancestor's physical form underwent an even more "profound" change.

The immortal ancestor's physical form, half dragon and half unicorn, swelled up like an inflated balloon.

If it were just a change in body size, that would be fine, but in addition to the increase in size, the appearance of the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transformation is also changing.

The tightly closed eyes bulged, and the silk-like eyelids flipped up as they could no longer support the eyeballs growing beneath them.

Beneath the eyelids, what were no longer the shimmering, jade-like eyes of dragons, were now swollen, fish-like eyes. And they were lifeless, dull fish-like eyes.

The forelimbs of the Immortal Ancestor's molted body grew fleshy membranes, upon which were scattered armor plates and mottled broken feathers.

As for the lower limbs, the swelling was the most noticeable. The robust hind legs had long been covered by the proliferating flesh, forming limbs resembling a fish tail.

The body of the Immortal Ancestor, now in its mortal form, was a chaotic dance of demons. Feathers of birds, thick hides of beasts, and scales of snakes and insects grew together in a mixed fashion.

At this point, the Immortal Ancestor's physical form was completely unrecognizable. It would be a stretch to even call it a living being.

It looked like a giant furnace. What it forged was not hard steel, but the essence of life.

All life was mixed into this body, which looked both eerie and somewhat warm.

It's eerie because of its appearance, but warm because of its essence—life originates from here.

However, Yu Jin only felt a chill.

"Little Huang, do you think you can withstand the retaliation from Liyue and the Geo Archon?" Ember asked, his head bowed and his voice heavy.

He now suspects that the Golden Tree might have a genetic problem with its eyes? The same thing happened when the Golden Tree at the border restored Godwin's body.

Even though Godwin's soul had been killed by the Death Rune, the Golden Tree kept poisoning Godwin's corpse, turning it into a grotesque, inhuman creature.

Now Little Yellow is in a similar situation. Its mother gave birth to a "dead prince," and now it has given birth to a "dead emperor."

Judging from the title alone, Xiao Huang is quite impressive. Is it really true that like begets like, or that a mouse's son knows how to dig a hole?

"Dang Dang Dang!"

The two branches of the golden tree collided, producing a clear, metallic clang. The golden tree seemed quite confident in itself and satisfied with its "masterpiece."

In Golden Tree's view, all life is exactly the same, the only difference being whether it has more or less flesh.

As for the soul? One can only say that in the eyes of the Golden Tree, a divine creation that exists between illusion and reality, the soul of life is no different from dust.

So the Golden Tree simply felt that it was incredibly amazing that it could grow the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transformation from small to large!

"Fine, when they come yelling and looking for me, don't blame me for exposing you."

Yu Jin scratched his head. It seemed that since things had come to this, he had no choice but to accept it.

However, he then noticed the enormous alchemy furnace behind the Immortal Ancestor's physical transformation and felt that it might still be salvageable.

"bass--"

The bright light of the sword echoed within the golden house, causing the golden tree, which had been happily waving its branches, to shrink back into the immortal ancestor's mortal body.

Holding the straight sword, Yu Jin looked at the distorted immortal ancestor's mortal form and was eager to try it out.

Actually, he does have some talent for sculpting.

"Pfft-"

A dazzling array of light flashed by, and the body of the Immortal Ancestor was sliced ​​off piece by piece with the light.

It is quite remarkable that even though the Immortal Ancestor Dharma has transformed into this form, its internal and external attributes have not changed.

This body is not made of flesh and blood, but still of jade.

This relieved Yu Jin. Zhong Li asked him for help because he was worried that Li Yue would not be able to forge Mora after he "died".

If Xiao Huang really transforms the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma into pure flesh and blood, then it will be Yu Jin's turn to have a headache.

"Boom boom boom!"

The stone body fell to the ground, and Ember sheathed his weapon. He confidently turned his head and looked at the Immortal Ancestor's physical body, which he had meticulously prepared.

"..."

After a brief silence, Yu Jin consciously picked up the body from the ground and threw it into the alchemy furnace not far away.

Because the Immortal Ancestor's physical body was still that hideously ugly appearance, even though Yu Jin carefully trimmed it, the final result was still unsatisfactory.

Anyway, Ember felt that it was the kind of situation where the Liyue people could chase him for three blocks, which was unsatisfactory.

He raised his hand and gestured to indicate the size of the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body and the alchemy furnace. It seemed that they could fit inside.

Instantly, Yu Jin's frustration vanished. If he stewed the Immortal Ancestor's physical remains, it would be impossible to tell what they originally looked like, right?

"Little Huang, pull your claws away." Yu Jin walked up to the "standing" Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body, rubbed his hands together and said.

"Gululu~"

Upon hearing this, the golden tree immediately retracted its branches that were deeply embedded within the immortal ancestor's physical form. Its body, now without support, slumped limply to the ground.

"Drink! Let's go!"

Yu Jin pulled on the Immortal Ancestor's physical body, and with a forceful swing, stuffed the enormous body back into the alchemy furnace.

Add water and light the fire!

"Oh!"

The sound of firecrackers exploding rang out, adding to the heat inside the golden house.

Yu Jin took a few steps back, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Why does this look a little off? It turns out there's no fire under the alchemy furnace."

Now everything is perfect!

"Crash!"

The clanging of Mora was more rapid and louder than before. Ember climbed to the top of the furnace and lifted the lid.

Under the burning flames, the celestial ancestor's mortal body within the alchemy furnace was rapidly melting away. The indescribable body, along with the rich aura of precious metal, filled the furnace, providing Teyvat with a continuous supply of Mora.

"Dangdang!"

He closed the lid, and Ember jumped down. He then ran to the golden tree and whispered to it:

"Do you see that big pot?"

The branches nodded.

"If the golden aura inside diminishes, then unleash your... well, you know..."

The branches suddenly became indescribable.

"Yes, that's it. If the yellow odor is too weak, stick it into the big pot and use this!"

Golden Tree glanced at the flames beneath the alchemy furnace, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

"Don't worry, I won't burn you to death!" Yu Jin patted his chest and assured him when he saw the Golden Tree backing down.

This time, the branch finally nodded.

Chapter 277 Apostles and Apostles

2023-11-06

The underground was still as dark as ever, but the Abyss Apostles had grown accustomed to it. The darkness had accompanied them for so long that they had become used to it.

"Just how big is that thing?"

In a huge underground cave, two figures, one in blue and one in white, were cautiously exploring their way forward.
