Genshin Impact: A Mortal's Ascension to Godhood

Have you ever heard of Liyue Jade Pavilion?

It was a magnificent building that stood in the sky, as if connected to the stars. It floated above the center of Liyue Harbor and was the most dazzling landmark on this land.

The appearance of the Qun Yu Pavilion looks like it was carved from a huge piece of jade, emitting a warm and mysterious glow throughout.

Each of its bricks and stones seemed to be stained with golden luster, crystal clear, reflecting brilliant colors. The outline of the pavilion outlined elegant arcs in the sky, like the footprints left by fairies in the clouds.

The top of the Qun Yu Pavilion is soaring into the clouds, reaching straight into the sky. There, you can feel the whistling of the wind and the swirling of the clouds, as if you have merged with the world.

The pavilion is surrounded by exquisitely carved jade railings, and each railing is carved with delicate patterns, telling the legends and stories of the Liyue Kingdom.

When the sun shines on the Jade Pavilion, it seems to be enveloped by a golden halo, shining brightly. The light is so dazzling that people dare not look directly at it. At night, the Jade Pavilion becomes a dazzling pearl, lighting up the entire night sky of Liyue.

Merchants passing by who looked up at the Qun Yu Pavilion were all shocked.

They were amazed at its grandeur and ingenuity. Some stopped to gaze, as if they were attracted by its beauty and couldn't help themselves; some whispered and discussed the stories and legends behind the building.

The Jade Pavilion is no longer just a building, it is the pride of Liyue and a symbol of the power, status and wealth of the Seven Stars Ningguang.

“Standing on the Jade Pavilion, you will feel as if you are standing on the top of the world.”

The clouds around you flow under your feet, and the breeze blows gently, bringing fresh air and endless reverie.

You can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Liyue Harbor, with the bustling crowds of people and the thousands of sails sailing, all in sight, as if a human painting is unfolding in front of you."

Yan Fei introduced it to Li Tao. At this moment, Li Tao also looked up at the Qun Yu Pavilion in the clouds.

He could understand the feelings of the people of Liyue when they saw the Jade Pavilion - standing on the Jade Pavilion and looking into the distance was like standing on the Tiananmen Tower and waving at the people below. This was a feeling that he would never have had in the past, an illusory feeling of walking with power, or even being above power.

"But how do we get up there?" Li Tao was a little curious, as he didn't have the Wings of Wind. If Mondstadt was the first place he went to after reincarnating in Teyvat, he might be able to try to jump off Mount Tianheng and glide to the Jade Pavilion.

It’s just that this operation doesn’t work in the game.

In the game, the only way to get to the Jade Pavilion is by teleporting. However, after arriving in Teyvat, Li Tao has never seen any teleportation location...

How were those jade pavilions built, and how did Ningguang go up there every day?

There is only one answer, and that is pumice.

The characteristic product of Teyvat, pumice - a mysterious elemental stone that can float on its own, is the secret of the Sky Lantern flying to the distant horizon. Legend has it that it is also the source of power for the "Jade Pavilion" to float.

Ah, no need for legends, Li Tao certainly knew that the source of the anti-gravity of the Qun Yu Pavilion was pumice.

Therefore, if you want to climb up to the Qun Yu Pavilion, you must of course use pumice.

Li Tao and Yan Fei found an old man in Liyue Harbor and told him a secret code necessary for entering the pavilion: "Hello, do you sell moons here?"

"The moon is in the sky, please follow me."

The old man named Buyun seemed to be an ordinary merchant in Liyue, but he was actually the guide of the Jade Pavilion. He brought Li Tao and Yan Fei to a platform, then activated the mechanism, and the platform loaded with pumice slowly rose up and flew towards the Jade Pavilion in the sky.

Li Tao observed the flying platform curiously - so it seems that it is possible to use wind elemental power to assist in flying?

But he quickly rejected the idea. It's not that it can't be done, but it's very troublesome.

Unless you are the holder of the Wind-attributed Eye of God, it is really troublesome and difficult to find a stable source of wind elemental power for the platform to use all the time.

Instead of hiring a wind-attribute God's Eye holder to operate the "elevator", it is better to dig directly and use pumice.

.......

After climbing up to the Qun Yu Pavilion, Li Tao also took a brief look at the pavilion from the front.

The Qun Yu Pavilion, a glazed palace suspended in the clouds, is like a jade palace, dazzling and brilliant. Every glazed tile sparkles with a crystal luster, reflecting the Liyue City below, making it more prosperous and magnificent.

“I have to say, these jade pavilions are exquisitely designed, antique, and complex, exquisite, and unique in structure… How could Ningguang be willing to use [Heavenly Moving Ten Thousand Pavilions] to smash them all?”

All I can say is that Li Tao doesn’t understand the world of rich people.

Just as Li Tao was admiring the Qun Yu Pavilion, Ningguang's three secretaries who were stationed in the Qun Yu Pavilion, Baiwen, Baishi and Baixiao, had already gone out to greet Li Tao and Yan Fei according to Ningguang's instructions.

"Ah, they are the three young secretaries of Lord Ningguang." Yan Fei nudged Li Tao and whispered, "Mr. Li Tao, please don't look down on them just because they are young. It's best to respect them."

Li Tao nodded, indicating that he understood Yan Fei's reminder.

Isn't the secretary around the big boss someone who can report on others anytime and anywhere?

Yan Fei also straightened her posture, walked forward, and said to the three people: "Hello, Bai Wen, Bai Shi, Bai Xiao. I am the legal consultant Yan Fei. The adventurer Li Tao beside me and I received a letter from Lord Ning Guang, hoping that we can provide some opinions and suggestions for the [Seven Star Election Conference] to be held at the end of this year. When do you think we can meet Lord Ning Guang?"

Bai Wen smiled and said to Yan Fei, "Sister Yan Fei, you are too polite. Didn't you come here last time? We will show you the way."

As she spoke, the little girl glanced at Li Tao secretly, as if asking: Why don’t you come up and say hello?

Of course Li Tao had no choice but to follow Yan Fei's lead and said hello.

During this time, Bai Shi observed Li Tao carefully: "Strange, this man looks like an ordinary adventurer. What made him worthy of being summoned by Lord Ningguang?"

She didn't have time to think too much. After a brief greeting, the three of them led Li Tao and Yan Fei straight into the Qun Yu Pavilion.

The "scenery" in the Qunyu Pavilion was still as gorgeous as ever. There were golden bricks and tiles everywhere, as if they were made of gold blocks; several large bookshelves were placed in the Qunyu Pavilion, on which were placed various precious rare books and some cultural relics and antiques; and the marble and white marble floors were neatly laid on the ground, all of which showed the financial strength of the owner of Liyue Pavilion.

The owner was sitting behind a huge desk, quietly waiting for Yan Fei and Li Tao to arrive.

Although Li Tao had seen Ningguang several times before, it was only after getting close to this Liyue Goddess of Wealth that Li Tao was able to feel her charm as a woman.

Her appearance is elegant and graceful, as if it were carved from jade and ice, and every detail of her is exquisite and perfect. Her face has clear contours, as elegant as a crescent moon, and her skin is as delicate as porcelain, revealing an innate nobility and elegance.

Her white hair is like silver snow in winter, pure and dazzling. Under her white hair are a pair of deep and bright eyes, like stars, sparkling with wisdom and determination.

Ningguang's temperament is even more noble. Every move she makes reveals a calm and elegant demeanor. Her smile is like a spring breeze, warm and kind, always bringing endless comfort and strength to people.

Li Tao couldn't help but sigh: Ningguang is such a breathtakingly beautiful woman.

And she really has the temperament of a rich woman... Although she is a businessman, she has transcended business and become the leader of Liyue. This is also amazing.

Coupled with the names of these jade pavilions, Li Tao was reminded of a poem by Li Bai:

"Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of faces,

The spring breeze is blowing on the threshold of Revlon.

If not for Qunyu Mountain, see you,

We will meet under the moon on Yaotai. "
