I'm in the Teyvat running group

As a former commander of the Battle Fortress and the commander of the He Guan sniper battle, Yun Zhi was able to withstand even a legendary monster attack of that scale. Sweeping away all the underground forces in Fengdan was a piece of cake for him.

In less than a month, all the underground gangs in Fontaine were wiped out, and personnel from the Rose Thorn Society, Shadow Chaser's Court, and Mo Mang Palace took over. A large number of Melusin were also placed in key positions. These Melusin were almost completely unresponsive to human bribery and threats, since they simply didn't care about such things.

Melusin and humans are not the same kind of beings at all, so their likes and the conditions for being bribed are naturally completely different.

Moreover, all the Melusins ​​are highly loyal to Navelette, and with the various mechanisms at play, handling these matters is naturally effortless.

So Fontaine is now completely transformed, at least it is completely different from before, which has directly led to the Opikley Opera House being open almost every day, sending a large number of prisoners to Melló Petersburg every day.

Many of these prisoners were sentenced to extremely severe penalties, including the death penalty.

However, the death penalty also required a period of confinement in Melo Petersburg before the mass execution, which was a peculiar rule in Fontainebleau.

As one of the few nations in Teyvat besides Nata who has experienced a change of gods, Fontaine has become completely different. Of course, the only downside is that Yunxiu has gained a lot of infamy because of this.

Many disgruntled Fontaineians blamed Yunxiu for Navia's actions, believing that this Liyueian used Navia to control Fontaine and had also bewitched the Water God and Navelette...

This wasn't a big deal for Yunxiu, but it still left him somewhat amused and exasperated. Aside from their frequent fishing trips together, he and Navia didn't really have any other business or even political exchanges. Even when it came to borrowing Yunzhi, it was only when Navia proactively asked Yunxiu if he had any accomplices who couldn't be bribed...

Not easily bribed and possessing strong capabilities—isn't that exactly what Yunzhi is all about?

Fortunately, there weren't many matters to attend to at the front lines of Heguan recently, and Yunzhi was also planning to gather information from Xumi. So Yunxiu sent Yunxiu to Fengdan, where he could go to Xumi after handling some matters.

Incidentally, Yunxiu also handed over the young master's Eye of God to him, instructing him to go directly to Zhidong in the Dead Domain and return the Eye of God to the young master...

The situation in the Sumeru Dead Domain itself is naturally different from before.

The promotion of elemental isolation and spell systems, as well as the deployment of the Final Hour and numerous mechanisms, has brought about a significant benefit: the pressure on the Sumeru Dead Zone itself has plummeted, and the number of legendary powerhouses in various countries is increasing rapidly. Liyue and Nata, which have the most, now each have nearly ten more legendary powerhouses. Liyue alone has seven according to official statistics, and there are two or three more in various clans.

The Nata are even more terrifying, their numbers have skyrocketed.

Even in Inazuma, a clan whose population was not particularly large to begin with, four legendary figures have recently broken through to the next level. These include two members, Kosai-no-miya and Yuraku-sai, as well as Kujo Sara, a powerful member of the Tengu clan, and a powerful member of the Oni clan.

Of course, it's not Araragi Ichidou. His strength is currently only at the eighth level, supposedly because he's not very bright and has always had problems understanding the new spell system.

The sudden addition of dozens of legendary figures has greatly benefited the Seven Kingdoms, significantly reducing the pressure of manpower shortages. Furthermore, since the deployment on the front lines can now be alleviated by using the Returning Machine and the Mage Legion, the Dead Zone has even begun to be pushed back.

To everyone's surprise, the countries discovered that if they could eliminate monsters that exceeded their original size, the Dead Zone could be shrunk little by little!

According to statistics, the dead zone has shrunk by 10 meters in radius in the last six months!

Although the number is small, this situation has greatly excited various countries. After all, who would have thought that the Dead Zone could actually be eliminated under such circumstances? If they didn't have sufficient manpower now and hadn't started to actively attack and exterminate the monsters, who would have known that this situation would occur?

Therefore, at least the generals of various countries who led troops into battle were actually very grateful to Yunxiu.

Jean and Diluc are also on the verge of breaking through to Legendary status. According to the messages they sent, the two of them should be able to break through to Legendary status soon.

As for Grand Master Falga, after a battle, he has reached the point of another breakthrough. Once he crosses that threshold, he will become a powerful being whose combat strength is comparable to that of a celestial being of the same level as Fushe.

By this time, there weren't many people who could surpass Teyvat. Of course, even now, there might only be three or five legends stronger than him. Apart from the most crucial powerhouses in each country, there were very few others who could defeat Falgar, and even if their cultivation was deeper than his, it wouldn't matter.

The combat prowess honed in the Dead Zone makes Falga extremely adept at fighting. In terms of martial arts skills alone, he is no less skilled than some gods, and may even be stronger.

Considering his combat capabilities, his assessment should actually be higher.

The promotion of elemental isolation and the spell system has also provided a continuous supply of soldiers for various countries. Moreover, the vast majority of these soldiers are spellcasters of the fourth ring or above. As mentioned before, for Teyvats, it is actually equivalent to breaking through from the third ring to the fourth ring. The difficulty is not high, and it only involves learning some relatively simple spells.

A spellcaster at the fifth ring level can learn more spells and naturally become a captain-level being.

People who were already powerful enough would naturally become even stronger after learning the spellcasting system. Just like the elite knights of Mondstadt, before the spellcasting system was popularized, they were all at least fifth ring, and the captains were all at the sixth ring level. Now, they are all at the peak of the sixth ring, and most of the captains have embarked on the path of Genshin Impact.

Some of them even quickly completed the Genshin Impact journey and entered the seventh ring.

This increased the fighting strength of the knightly order by more than tenfold.

With just a few small teams charging in, they fought their way in and out of the Dead Zone seven times, and were even able to fight against some top-tier monsters.

These events profoundly changed Yunxiu in Teyvat, bringing him a great deal of wealth and connections. At least for him, he is now often regarded as the eighth god outside the seven gods—the god of magic.

These divine offices and positions, which did not originally exist in Teyvat, began to emerge through oral tradition, something Yunxiu had not anticipated.

But... who could have imagined that these stories and beliefs passed down by word of mouth might be the key to godhood?

After spending the day reading various documents on the back of the pack beast, by evening the pack beast had arrived at Qingce Village, where Yunxiu and Hutao set up camp.

The two lay listlessly on the grass, watching the moon, when suddenly Hu Tao asked:

"Yunxiu, do you remember what happened when we were five years old?"

Chapter 267 Suspended Refinement: Visiting the Immortal to Inquire about Past Events (First Update on Thursday!)

Five years old...

That was about fifteen years ago.

"You mean the Shen family matter?" Yunxiu scratched her head, racking her brains but couldn't think of anything more: "The Shen family did have a big problem back then, but didn't the Emperor personally take action later?"

“There is a connection… but strictly speaking, it’s not. Do you remember what you told me back then?” Hu Tao said softly, “It was when you, Xiang Ling, and I went to buy things for my dad.”

"Um... I think... I can't remember either." After thinking for a long time, Yunxiu couldn't think of anything more, so he finally gave up. For him, he wouldn't remember things that weren't very important. It was quite remarkable that he could vaguely remember that such a thing existed.

"You said back then that you would completely eliminate all the remains of the Demon Gods in Liyue, so that such tragedies would never happen again..."

"As expected of me!" So I had such strong ambitions even when I was a child? No wonder the Emperor has always liked me; there's definitely a reason for it! But how could I have forgotten about this?

"Then, after you've cleared the wreckage, you must marry eight wives!"

"?"

"Did I say that?" Yunxiu rolled over and looked at Hu Tao's small face threateningly, "I don't think I ever said such a thing, Miss Hu Tao, what do you think?"

"You dare to do it but not admit it, Yunxiu, you great hero! Xiangling told me you've almost found eight already." Hu Tao counted on her fingers one by one: "Xiangling has already been fooled by you, hasn't she? And that lady, Ayaka Kamisato, the head of the Inazuma Company, is supposedly your marriage prospective spouse? And that Miss Sugar who does experiments every day in your demiplane, could she be unrelated to you? And..."

"Alright, stop talking." Yunxiu immediately covered Hu Tao's mouth, and seeing her struggling on her back, she said irritably, "I didn't use any strength at all, so stop pretending!"

"Oh dear, you're really boring. Why don't you join me in the lead role?" Hu Tao turned around and looked at Yun Xiu with her plum blossom-shaped eyes, saying, "Do you remember what I said back then?"

I can't even remember what I said, how could I possibly remember what you said...?

After thinking for a long time, Yunxiu honestly replied, "I don't know."

"Oh dear, you really have a bad memory. But I don't want to tell you today." Walnut chuckled, chewing on a blade of grass, shaking his head and laughing. "Quickly use your magic to make some clean water. This sect leader wants to take a bath!"

Well... that's all the use I have for learning water-making techniques...

Although the water-making spell itself is not difficult, its main purpose is actually for drinking, extinguishing fires, or as a medium for casting spells.

Most spells have limited elemental energy. Even for many sixth or seventh-ring mages, achieving a modifier of around +7 is already difficult, which only amounts to about a thousand elemental energy. To take a bath, one would need to cast at least four or five water spells, which is naturally difficult to accept for high-intensity adventures.

However, as someone who obtained a divine artifact on his very first adventure, such things were never within Yunxiu's consideration...

It is precisely for this reason that since learning the art of water creation, almost all its functions have been limited to these, and if there is anything else, it might be washing Xiangling's hands and face.

Of course, Yunxiu couldn't refuse Hutao's request. Although Hutao insisted on experiencing an adventurous life outside today, this kind of not-so-adventurous thing sounded outrageous, but it was indeed something this young lady was capable of doing.

They quickly finished washing up and, unusually, set up a tent on the back of the pack animal. They then casually cast a few insect-repelling spells and fell asleep on the pack animal's back. Since its modification, the pack animal's back was quite broad, and although it was supposed to be a tent, the living space was actually much larger than many RVs.

The next morning, the beast carried the two into Shenyu Valley.

Originally, Shenyu Valley did not belong to Liyue. During the Demon God War, the Demon God of Shenyu Valley went mad and tried to destroy Shenyu Valley. As a result, the three immortals of Shenyu Valley rebelled, and Shenyu Valley was eventually incorporated into Liyue. Only then did Qiaoying Manor come into being.

Of course, the human lineage of Qiaoying Manor is not a normal existence either. In fact, in terms of inheritance, this lineage has many secrets, and it is not a simple story. Judging from the current situation, Chenyu Valley is likely related to the ancient Liyue civilization. Yunxiu guesses that it may be the "Eliusios" that Abe Liangjiu mentioned before.

Of course, his name in Liyue might be "Langxuan", but that's still uncertain.

After that war, the three immortals of Shenyu Valley were almost unable to maintain their normal forms. The White Serpent Medicine Lord entered Liyue Harbor, which is the one on Bai Shu's neck.

Immortal Fu Jin used his immortal power to restore the environment of the entire Chenyu Valley, but he has been asleep ever since. Yun Xiu also plans to help him this time.

As for the last immortal beast, Lingyuan, who barely managed to retain her strength and has lived to this day, it is said that she is very beautiful in human form, but she has always refused to change back into human form.

Having visited Chenyu Valley several times before and having a general understanding of its current situation, Yunxiu quickly made her way to Xuanlian Mountain upon entering the valley. Along the way, she also collected some Cangling Carp, which were placed throughout Chenyu Valley by Immortal Fujin to nurture and restore his immortal power.

Of course, the actual number is unlikely to be as small as in the game.

Yunxiu collected more than two hundred of them on her way to Xuanlian Mountain, and this was clearly only a small part of the total.

Of all the scenery in Chenyu Valley, Yunxiu's favorite place is Xuanlian Mountain, for the simplest reason: it is the most beautiful place.

Several unique mountains rise abruptly from places that are unimaginable to ordinary people, especially the one in the very center, where a waterfall cascades down like a beautiful white ribbon. The flowers and pavilions on the mountaintop complement each other, making it look like the abode of immortals.

The surrounding misty immortal energy also indicated that a powerful immortal lived here. However, judging from Yunxiu's senses, this immortal, at his most powerful, should not be much different from Liuyun Jiefeng and Granny Ping. No wonder she and Granny Ping had a very good relationship.

Holding the walnut, he flew to the mountaintop, took out the Azure Spirit Carp, and slightly activated its power. Soon, a fairy appeared from the void. She looked at the two people and the pile of Azure Spirit Carp in front of her with surprise and asked curiously, "Are you... Immortal Yunxiu and the current head of the Hall of Rebirth?"

"It's rare that you know me, Fairy, but I do have a favor to ask of you." Yunxiu casually lifted the Cangling Carp with a wisp of magic and handed it to Fairy Fujin. Seeing her hesitant expression, she continued, "I believe you know my character, Fairy, and I will not make any requests that would put you in a difficult position."

"No...that's not the reason..." Fu Jin said, "My current power is insufficient, making it difficult for me to help you solve certain things..."

“If that’s the case, it doesn’t matter. I mainly just want you to help me find some information.” Yunxiu smiled. “Of course, as payment, I will help you collect Azure Spirit Carp, or provide you with some immortal power, so that you can go to Liyue Harbor.”

"Is that so... okay..." Fu Jin thought for a moment and quickly agreed. She had already learned some things about Yun Xiu from Granny Ping, so she had no objections. Besides, she had learned from Granny Ping and other immortals she was on good terms with Yun Xiu that he was quite outstanding in both strength and character, except for being a bit of a womanizer...

However, he probably wouldn't have any designs on me. I'm over four thousand years old, Fu Jin thought to himself.

This is truly unfair to Yunxiu. Although he does like girls, he doesn't have many thoughts about this kind of thing...

It's not because of the theory of lifespan, but because too much time will wear away a lot of things. For immortals, their own life of one or two decades is just a passing phase in this life.

Especially for these immortals who experienced the true war between demons and gods, many old loves and stories were buried in that tragic battle. Even the Emperor could never forget his old friend.

However, to put it another way, being a womanizer isn't such a big deal...

In the thousands of years of human life, all sorts of things have happened, haven't they?

However, after understanding Yunxiu's request, Fu Jin readily told Yunxiu a lot of information and even drew several pictures for her. These pictures contained some secret information about the war between the demon gods and the artifacts left behind. They could also help her collect some Azure Spirit Carp.

Yunxiu also gained a general understanding of the situation of the war between the demons and gods in Chenyu Valley back then.

The demon god of Chenyu Valley going mad and wanting to flood Chenyu Valley itself is actually a very outrageous act, because this demon god actually has a very good relationship with Guizhong and the Emperor, and even gave him a divine artifact as a symbol of friendship.

That is, the Rocky Green Sword that Ying is holding now.

But in the end, he went mad to an incomprehensible degree, which almost caused the three immortals' joint efforts to fail. At their peak, the three immortals of Shenyu Valley, except for Fu Jin who was slightly weaker, were both legendary peak powerhouses. However, Yunxiu was not concerned about this, but rather what exactly caused the demon god to go mad.

One of the fundamental principles of the Demon God is "love," which is insurmountable.

Even Heuria, the Salt Demon who was assassinated by humans, could be considered weak, but she never actually harmed her own people.

As for why he went mad, the three immortals didn't know either. They only learned from Fu Jin that the demon god seemed to have finally come to his senses. Although the Medicine Lord was powerful and fought the demon god to a standstill for a time, the long battle left him exhausted and even his immortal body was cut into several pieces.

However, the demon god's brief period of lucidity ultimately led to its self-destruction, allowing the three immortals and the people of Chenyu Valley to survive.

Could it be because this "lover" doesn't include the Hypopolians? If the ancestors of Shenyu Valley were truly from the Layered Rock Abyss, the legendary "Langxuan" or "Eleusius," then not being included in the Seven Kingdoms' rule is a different story...

However, the sky above Shenyu Valley is Sky Island, and there may be other places in this place that make that Heavenly Principle wary.
