I'm in the Teyvat running group

But Yunxiu knew very well in her heart that this was a man...

Like his ancestor Sasa Yuri, he was a rather handsome male of the Tengu clan.

As for why Yunxiu knew this so well, it was because this great Yin-Yang Master and Yunxiu were from the same school. He was a disciple of the True Lord of Shaving the Moon and Building the Sun, which was also the grand-disciple of the Emperor.

Like Yuijin Seinosuke, he once traveled to Liyue to study Sage Mode. Of course, because of his greater background, he directly became a disciple of the Tsukuyo Sect, combining Sage Mode and Yin-Yang techniques. He cultivated in the Sage Mountain for over a hundred years before reaching the legendary status.

Because the True Lord of Moon-Cut Sun can also refer to himself as the "Son of God," which means that, strictly speaking, he is Yunxiu's...

"Junior Martial Aunt." Sasa Yulu greeted her with a smile, "I visited Liyue some time ago and heard Master mention you. I didn't expect that we would meet so soon."

“Let’s each go our own way…” Yunxiu waved her hand with a headache: “If we’re talking about the Emperor, my seniority is too high.”

"Propriety is unacceptable..."

"Hold on, the Emperor once took the first Hall Master of the Hall of Rebirth as his disciple, and now it has been passed down for seventy-seven generations. So how should Hu Tao and I address him?"

"Master Hu..." Seemingly surprised by the power of the walnut, Sasa Yura's face turned somewhat gloomy as she quietly sat down in her seat.

"What's wrong with him?" Yunxiu asked curiously, but Yueji shook her head.

"He was injured by Master Hu," said the young swordswoman, Takane Shimotsuki. "The Tengu clan has the duty of guarding the underworld, so Lady Saura is also the president of the Inazuma Funeral Association."

Takane Shimotsuki glanced at Sasa Yura with pity before continuing, "When we were exchanging ideas with the Liyue Funeral Association, Lady Sasa Yura made a bet with Master Hu, but unexpectedly lost to him."

"Lost...lost what?"

"When the dice were rolled, Master Hu rolled six sixes in one go," Lei Dian Wu Ming added. "So Lady Sha Yu Luo had no choice but to agree to Master Hu's bet."

"Yes, the stakes are..."

"Stop talking!" Sasa Yura covered her head with her hands, a mask of pain on her face, and began to squat on the ground in self-isolation.

"The wager is to shout the old slogans used by the Rebirth Hall for a whole day." A mischievous smile appeared on Gao Ling Shuangyue's usually cold face.

"I still remember that slogan, something like, 'Three people together, all half price! Bring your two best friends, book now, and enjoy 50% off services in the future, so you won't be alone on your journey to the underworld!' It was really catchy."

"Aa ...

Would you rather shout slogans than break the promise of a legendary warrior? You truly are a hero...

But to be able to torment even a legendary powerhouse to this extent, Hu Tao is truly the first...

No, that's not right. Hu Tao was someone who could give Venti and Zhongli, two gods, plus Xiao, a headache at the banquet. Compared to her, a legendary figure is nothing.

Master Hu, you are truly great!

"Alright, let's get down to business." Raiden Shin walked in with a different shadow behind him as always, and gently sat down in the main seat.

Soon, everyone became serious.

"The last 'Great Purification of Divine Cherry Blossoms' was five hundred years ago," Raiden Shin said, looking at the group. "Even the 'Minor Purification' was sixty years ago, and four of you didn't experience it."

Four people...it seems you've included me too...

Yunxiu silently complained that the two human powerhouses had not participated, and as for the last one, it should be the ghost clan's Yu Yu Yang Kui.

The lifespan of the Ghost race is not much different from that of the Human race. Even if they break through to the Legendary level, they generally only live for two or three hundred years. If they do not extend their lifespan, they will most likely die.

As for the demon race, it depends on the species. For species like the Tengu or the fox demon, living for a thousand years is considered normal.

“The last ‘Great Purification’ was presided over by Fox Abode Palace, but this time we need to have a different one.” Raiden Zhen looked at Yunxiu and said, “Yunxiu, come here.”

"Yes."

This was something that had been agreed upon long ago after the major events in Mondstadt, so Yunxiu naturally wouldn't object.

"This 'Great Purification' won't just cover Narukami Island, but will extend to the entire territory of Inazuma, as well as Fuchishita Palace." Raiden Shin glanced at the map of Inazuma behind him, then looked at the other powerful figures.

"Therefore, I invited this archmage from Liyue, who is skilled in spatial magic, to channel all the 'filth' into the roots of the Divine Cherry Tree at the foot of Shadow Mountain, and then eradicate it."

"So, does that mean each of us needs to guard an island?" Sasa Yura asked. "If so, should we recall Lady Nagi, who is still in Sumeru?"

"No need, I already have someone in mind." Raiden clapped his hands, and Yunxiu was shocked to see Ying and Paimon following behind Kujo Sara...

Her strength has clearly reached the critical point of advancing to the legendary level!

Four elemental forces still lingered around her; somehow, Ying had secretly made a trip to Sumeru...

“This is Ying, a traveler from another world, and her companion Paimon,” Raiden Shin said with a smile. “This time, she will be in charge of Hachi-yū Island, where the remains of a demon god are located.”

Ying nodded and quietly walked to stand behind Yunxiu. Paimon, on the other hand, didn't seem very interested in listening to these things and went to a nearby table to eat some snacks.

Ying... is indeed a very good choice.

With her strength reaching this level, coupled with her unique characteristics, when facing the Abyss and Calamities, she is not only stronger than a legend, but may even be stronger than a god.

"Did you recently go to Sumeru?" Yunxiu asked Ying with a smile. "Did you go to the Dead Domain, or did you spend a few days sightseeing in Sumeru City?"

"I returned to Sumeru with Tinari and the others," Ying said with a happy smile.

"However, I didn't go to the Dead Zone, and my strength is still not fully unlocked, but I made some very interesting friends."

"Friends..."

"Your name has spread throughout Sumeru. You, 'Narcissus's First Sage,' are very famous there." Ying pondered for a moment before uttering the second sentence that utterly shocked Yunxiu:

"However, the 'dead zone' you mentioned, according to the Sumeru people, seems to be expanding recently..."

Chapter 160: Grace is the Greatest Binding (Third update on Wednesday!)

"Expanded? Is it true?" Yunxiu couldn't help but feel nervous. If this was true, it would be a major event.

"I don't know either." Ying hesitated for a moment before saying uncertainly, "It seems that a new 'dead zone' has appeared outside the dead zone. Although it is very small, many strange sounds and monsters have been heard from it."

"A monster? Is that so?" Yunxiu took out the photo that Nefer had left for her. It was the monster that Nefer had mentioned, with strange "manufacturing" marks.

"Hmm? Yes." Ying examined it carefully and nodded seriously.

That's alright...

Since Nefert didn't mention any major problems, then there shouldn't be any major problems.

In terms of intelligence alone, this woman could definitely rank in the top ten in the entire Teyvat... of course, excluding gods and those above the gods.

"This isn't a 'dead zone,' but a new concept. An intelligence broker has already confirmed this with me."

Looking at Ying, Yunxiu suddenly thought that if it really was a different world, perhaps Ying was the most suitable person to go on an adventure with her, after all, this traveler had also wandered through many worlds.

"If I were to go on an adventure, would you be willing to come with me?" Yunxiu handed the photo to Ying and asked earnestly.

“That’s likely another world, and with your experience traveling between worlds, you’re probably the most suitable person on Teyvat right now to do this kind of thing…”

“Is it another world? I can.” Ying thought for a moment and then agreed: “What are the requirements?”

“The passage is only strong enough to allow beings below the level of a familiar to pass through. Do not attempt to break through before that.” Yunxiu thought for a moment before adding, “As for the specifics, we can discuss them later.”

Ying nodded and then fell silent.

The work allocation for "Godsakura Purification" is relatively simple. Of the six islands in Inazuma, except for Tsurukan which does not need to be dealt with, the other islands plus Fuchishita Palace are each assigned to one of the six legendary powerhouses.

The main island, Narukami Island, is naturally overseen by Fox Prince himself, who also manages all six directions.

As for Yunxiu...

He was actually the most troublesome one, because of the teleportation array for energy transmission, the spatial array used to maintain stability, the purification array used for purification, and the diversion array to ensure that the power of calamity and abyss could enter the Divine Cherry Tree in batches.

He had to design everything and personally lead the team to handle it.

Apart from Sasa Yuro, who has some basic magical abilities, who can be of some help, the others are basically useless.

It's true that mages are considered superior beings in every world, but precisely because mages are superior, they are also the most troublesome choice most of the time...

Just like in the entire world of Teyvat, there are very few truly top-tier archmages, and if we were to break it down into specific schools of thought, the only one who could be considered a specialist in prophecy is Mona's teacher, Barbiros.

As for incantations...

Yunxiu suspects that only Klee's mother, Iris, is a top-tier mage specializing in the school of conjuration magic, because at least based on Yunxiu's understanding of Genshin Impact from her previous life.

In the vast majority of information, only Alice is described as being able to roam between worlds and possessing powerful spatial magic abilities.

While many of the immortals in Liyue possess spatial magic, they are not considered proficient, mostly using it only in combat and training. At least among the people Yunxiu knows, the only one truly willing to prioritize the development of magic is that big bird, Xianyun.

As for where the Raiden sisters are going...

Of course, it's about being stationed at the front lines of the Dark Sea. In the previous life, the reason why Inazuma's calamity was so terrifying was precisely because the invasion of the demons triggered the already overburdened ley lines of Inazuma.

This directly caused the powerful Fox Palace to perish completely in the dark calamity.

This time, although there weren't as many monsters as in the previous Kanria Cataclysm, it wasn't actually much safer...

"Then, the last item on the agenda concerns the 'Three Commissioners'." Raiden Shin finished explaining everything regarding the Divine Sakura Exorcism before slowly and deliberately speaking:

"Currently, the magistrate of the shrines has gradually handed over its work to Narukami Taisha Shrine and the Kamisato siblings, while the magistrate of the Imperial Survey Office is now controlled by the Kaedehara family and the 'Raiden Goden' lineage."

After saying that, she carefully looked at Raiden Mumei and Takamine Shimotsuki before speaking: "Since it has come to this, you two will take over the Tenryo Magistrateship. As for Kujo Takayuki and his group who are still colluding with the Gujin Clan, they will all be detained and tried together with the Hiiragi Clan later."

"Yes."

You two...?

Yunxiu walked out of the castle tower with Yueji and Ying, looking puzzled. Although the mission had been issued, the formal setup of the formation would not begin until tomorrow.

For Tsukihime, the best news was naturally that she had an extra half-day off.

"These two...are they related?" After leaving the Sky Keep and the several legendary experts, Yunxiu couldn't help but ask curiously, "How come their surnames are completely different?"

"Among the legendary strongmen of Inazuma, only the two of them are human, so it's not strange that they became husband and wife, is it?" Tsukihime said. "As for the reason for the surname, if Lord Mumei were just a commoner, he would naturally have to change his surname to Takane, but since his surname was given to him by his mother, he naturally doesn't need to change it."

"That 'Mist Cutter' in your hand is her family's heirloom sword, isn't it?" Yunxiu pondered for a moment. "So, she's a descendant of Takane Kombu Maru and Asase Hibiki?"

"Yes, the Gaoling family has a girl in this generation, but I didn't expect her potential and strength to be close to that of her ancestors."

That's quite impressive...

If they were to fight with all their might, although they would be far inferior to Kaiyang Star, they would be roughly equal to Lishui Dieshan, the weakest of the three immortals of Guyun Pavilion.

While Inazuma's high-end combat force is significantly smaller than Liyue's, even including the one stationed in Sumeru, there are currently only seven, barely half of Liyue's, but their quality is quite good so far.

The only problem is that there are relatively few strong human beings, but this is actually a problem inherent to Teyvat itself.

As mentioned earlier, we cannot say "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" because they really are!

Aside from Liyue, which has been trying to bring humans into the realm of "immortals," the other nations have only gradually developed sufficient combat power in the last five hundred years.

As their magical system begins to be promoted, if nothing unexpected happens, a sufficient number of powerful individuals will soon emerge.
