In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

"Thunder Breathing - Seventh Form: Fire Thunder God!"

Once again, Suzumiya Yui unleashed the strongest form of Thunder Breathing, giving Iwazo Hikaru no chance to react.

The golden dragon roared in the sky, and the whole world seemed to change color because of it.

Iwazo Kōzō only saw a beam of light before his body was pierced through in an instant.

The blade, cracked with golden lightning, shattered under the immense energy. Without hesitation, Suzumiya Yui tossed the remaining broken blade aside.

Iwakura Mitsuzo had already lost, but Ryouji deliberately left him a chance to escape.

"So fast... the knife..."

By the time Iwazo Mitsuzou reacted, intense pain had already engulfed his entire body.

Struggling to his knees, Iwazo Kozo coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his expression twisting and contorting.

In just two moves, he was defeated by Ryogoku Yu. Moreover, if Ryogoku Yu had used that attack from the beginning, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even one move.

This enormous difference in strength made Iwakura Mitsuzo feel a sense of powerlessness deep in his heart. He struggled to prop himself up with his weapon and then looked at Suzumiya Yu.

"If I die...the Iwakura-ryu school will be completely severed..."

"Before I come to the end of my life, there is something I want to ask of you... I still have two disciples who were expelled from the sect for opposing my opinions, but I know that they were just dissatisfied with the Eye Hunting Order."

"If they find out I'm dead... they'll definitely do anything to avenge me. At that time, I hope you can spare their lives."

Iwakura Mitsuzo revealed his final wish, which was incredibly easy for Suzumiya Yu to accomplish.

But why should he agree? Iwazo Mitsuzo was a loser, and a loser has no right to ask a winner for help.

If those two disciples didn't come looking for him, that would be fine, but if they did, Ryoko Yuu would definitely not hold back.

"I..."

Iwakura Mitsuzo seemed to have read Suzumiya Yu's thoughts, so he spoke first before Suzumiya Yu could finish speaking.

"You...you must have come here for the Boundless Full-Light Heavenly Eye, right?"

Iwakura Mitsuzō directly exposed Suzumiya Yu's true thoughts.

"With such powerful swordsmanship, yet using such inferior weapons, your purpose in coming here must be to obtain a good sword, right?"

"The Thin Edge Full Radiance Heavenly Eye is indeed a fine sword, but unfortunately... the true Thin Edge Full Radiance Heavenly Eye disappeared after the first sect leader."

"What you see now is just a high-quality replica knife. After years of refinement, it can barely be considered a famous knife, but it is still far inferior to the real thin-edged, full-gloss knife."

Upon hearing this, Ryoujiro frowned slightly. He hadn't expected that the real Hakuen Mangakami Tenmoku had disappeared so long ago.

What was even more unexpected was that, since the first sect leader, every sect leader of the Iwazo-ryu school had used only a replica sword.

It's estimated that only each generation's sect leader knows about this, because if it gets out, it would probably have a huge impact on the reputation of the Iwazoryu.

However, now that the Iwakura school has declined to a state of disrepair, it no longer cares about reputation. Otherwise, why would Iwakura Mitsuzo have told him this?

But... he was puzzled as to why Iwazo Mitsuzo would tell him this at a time like this.

"If you can promise me that you will spare the lives of those two disciples in a crisis, I will tell you the whereabouts of the genuine Thin Fate Full Light Heavenly Eye."

As expected, the conditions were tempting enough that Suzumiya Yu had no choice but to agree.

"If you knew the whereabouts of the genuine Thin Fate Full Radiance Heavenly Eye, then so many sect leaders wouldn't have failed to find it, would they?"

Indeed, if the true Boundless Full-Light Heavenly Eye were so easy to find, why had the past dozen or so sect leaders of the Rock Hidden Stream been unable to find it?

"You're right, it's not that easy to find, but for a powerful person like you, this kind of news that only exists in legends should be the most attractive, right?"

Suzumiya Yu remained silent; he did not refute.

As Iwazo Kozo said, although he was somewhat skeptical, he desperately wanted to obtain the true, thin-rimmed, fully-lit Tenmoku.

The high-quality replica knife that he once treasured has now become a piece of junk.

Human greed is endless, and so is the greed of ghosts.

"I promise you, if those two come looking for revenge, I will spare their lives in the end."

Suzumiya Yui finally agreed to Iwakura Kōzō's request, in exchange for information about the whereabouts of the genuine Hakuen Mankō Tenmoku.

Thank you...

Having fulfilled his last wish, Iwazo Kozo cut off his last thread of life, dying with his knees on the ground, his head and arms hanging limply.

A sea breeze blew from afar, gently lifting Iwazo Mitsuzou's bangs.

At that moment, he seemed to see a scene from the past again.

The students of the Iwakura-ryu school enjoy competing in this area.

Mifune Satoshi, Tanba Tetsuo, Okazaki Kunihiko, and Shichiroji Shimada, who could not surpass the first generation of the [Hatsuden], from the era of [Ei-Tane] to the era of [Mitsu-Tane].

[If I become a true swordsman in the future, all these duels can be turned into stories!]

I don't know which disciple said such a thing, but in Iwazo Mitsuzō's eyes, he was just messing around. But now, thinking about it, it is so nostalgic.

Suzumiya Yu killed them all; it could be said that he personally destroyed the legacy of the Iwazo-ryu school.

Unfazed by the situation, Ryou Miyako obtained a notebook from Iwazo Kōzō, which recorded the whereabouts of the genuine Hakuen Mankō Tenmoku, as well as clues obtained by previous generations of Iwazo-ryū sect leaders.

The specific location is not mentioned, but it is not difficult to infer from various statements that the Thin Edge Full Light Heavenly Eye is hidden to the west of Inazuma.

To the west of Inazuma, there are only Kaiki Island and Hachiyun Island; the rest is just the sea, with no place for humans to inhabit.

In other words, the Thin-Edged Full-Light Heavenly Eye is located on one of these two islands.

Judging from the timeline, Iwakura-ryu is a swordsmanship school that originated five hundred years ago. At that time, Haiki Island was under the rule of the serpent god Orobas, and Inazuma basically had no contact with them.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the Thin Edge Full Light Heavenly Eye is hidden on Haiqi Island, which leaves only Bayun Island.

However... why the Boundless Bright Eye disappeared, and who took it away, are not mentioned in the records at all.

In other words, even the sect leaders of the Iwakura school had no clue about this matter.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Searching for the Heavenly Eye Sword

......

Hachi-un Island, located east of Inazuma, is connected to Kannazuka and adjacent to Kaiki Island. It is one of the six main islands of Inazuma.

Five hundred years ago, the serpent god Orobas, who ruled Haiqi Island, obtained the power of the evil god in the dark outer sea and led his army to invade this place, wanting to overthrow the rule of the Thunder General.

In a war, Orobas killed Raiden General's beloved general, Tengu Shiri, and then met its end, being cleaved in two by Raiden General's Musou sword, its body and the entire Hachiyū Island were split apart.

From then on, a man-made landscape appeared on Hachiyū Island, named "Musō Blade Narrow Space" after the sword strike of Musō.

Even today, the Musou Blade Chamber is still filled with an excessive amount of lightning element, which forms a lightning calamity similar to the Tatsumaki Sand, causing damage to anyone who gets close.

If an ordinary person were to come into contact with lightning without taking any protective measures, they would die in a very short time.

Moreover, the remains of Orobas, severed in two, have been preserved to this day and can be seen almost everywhere on Bayun Island. The evil spirits that wreak havoc on the island also originate from its remaining power.

Because the protective object that suppressed the evil spirit's power was destroyed, the thunderstorms on Bayun Island have lasted for a long time, with dense dark clouds in the sky that show no signs of dissipating.

A boy wearing a straw hat walks through this extremely harsh environment.

That was Ryou Miyabi. In order to find the real Bo Yuan Man Guang Tian Mu, he personally came to Ba Yun Island.

Then, a group of wild beasts appeared, each emanating an eerie black aura—the very essence of evil spirits. Now, they had been corrupted by these evil spirits, reduced to empty shells, walking corpses.

Because it attacks any living creature it encounters indiscriminately, Yui Suzumiya chooses to draw her sword and kill them all, which is a relief for them.

The torrential rain continued, and occasionally the deafening roar of thunder could be heard from the sky. Suzumiya Yu found a place to take shelter from the rain, then took off her straw hat and took out the notebook given to her by Iwakura Mitsuzo from her pocket.

The records about the thin-rimmed, fully-lit Tianmu are only a few words long.

[East of the Mingyu region, south of the island. Follow the blue flames, and you will see Tianmu.]

In just sixteen characters, this is the record of the Thin-Eyed Full-Light Heavenly Eye.

East of Naruyu can be understood as east of Inazuma, because Narukami is the same as Raijin (the Thunder God), and Naruyu is the territory of Raijin.

South of the island should be the southern part of the island with its thin, bright surface.

The first eight characters are easy to understand, but what do the last eight characters mean?

"Find the blue flame, and you will see the Heavenly Eye." This means that as long as you find a place with blue flames on the south side of the island, you can find the Heavenly Eye with its thin edge and full light.

But does this blue fire refer to blue flames, or something else? If it's something else, what is it?

I'm completely baffled; there's just too little information available.

The records mention that several leaders of the Iwaki-ryu school personally went to search for the Hakuen Manko Tenmoku, but they all disappeared without a trace and never returned.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the place where the thin-rimmed full-light tenmu is hidden is extremely dangerous, otherwise several successive leaders of the Iwazoryū sect would not have lost their lives because of it.

Suzumiya Yu didn't think that level of danger could pose a threat to him, but the problem was that he couldn't find any blue flames at all.

Inazuma isn't from Liyue. If she were from Liyue, you could find blue flames at Wuwang Slope.

Fortunately, at least the search area can be narrowed down to the south of Ba Yun Island. If we just follow the map and search around, we should be able to find it.

Unless that place is hidden underground and can only be seen by triggering a mechanism.

......

On the south side of Ba Yun Island, there is only the Snake Bone Mine, which is also the only mineral extraction site on the island.

Before the outbreak of the evil spirits, there were still many workers living here, but now there isn't a single person to be seen.

If I remember correctly, there seems to be a little guy named Nagatsu who is still here. His father died from infection with the evil spirit, and his mother went to Sumeru for treatment.

There was a group of nofushi in Nashida Beach who were preparing to pick up Nagatsugu and leave. However, they were eliminated by the protagonist in the game, and their whereabouts in reality are unknown.

In general, Nagatsugu was a child with a tragic fate, but Suzumiya Yui had nothing to do with him.

Changci's mother will come back someday, so his best option is to stay here so he won't be unable to find her later.

There was a talisman used to suppress evil spirits in the Snake Bone Mine, but it has been destroyed and is not worth investigating. It's impossible that the Boundless Full-Light Heavenly Eye was hidden inside.

After investigating the snake bone mine, Suzumiya Yu found nothing. Instead, the oppressive atmosphere made him feel uncomfortable, so he quickly left.

If there are no clues in the Snake Bone Mine, then where is he going?

Besides the Snake Bone Mine, is there anywhere else to go on the south side of Bayun Island?

Perhaps Bo Yuanman Guang Tianmu isn't even on Bayun Island, but on Haiqi Island? So he'll have to go to Haiqi Island again? That would waste so much time.
