I'm in the Teyvat running group

But even though he hasn't changed his ways, he still takes up 80% of Xiangling's free time every day. Who can a girl marry then?

As for Tian Shu himself, he didn't care too much. Yun Xiu had an accident when he was young and his physical condition had never been very good. He was more worried about whether Xiang Ling would suffer any losses, but after seeing that Master Mao had no objections, he didn't care anymore.

So... when the customers who came to eat today saw Yunxiu unusually dressed as a waitress, moving around the restaurant, they were quite surprised.

Hu Tao was especially surprised when Hu Tao, Lan Yan, and Yun Xiu's cousin Yun Ce arrived together around noon. Yun Ce even came up to greet them respectfully, saying with a smile, "Brother, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I heard my master mention that you've been working on something important lately, so I haven't bothered you."

Yunxiu glanced at him briefly and found that he had already become a fifth-ring energy-shaping mage, a rare and impressive advancement speed. Moreover, he had two or three quite good treasures on him. In addition to the one she had given him, there was another one that she could clearly see was made by a certain immortal.

"Your strength has improved quite a bit recently, it seems your adventures have yielded considerable results." Yunxiu smiled, handed a pile of plates to the kitchen, wiped her hands, and then said with a smile, "You've even taken on a master? It seems a celestial being has taken notice of you."

“Yes… I became a disciple of the True Lord Minghai Qixia. That day, I saw an old man studying the theory of a spell, and I talked to him about my views.” Yun Ce said happily, “Later I found out that he was actually an immortal! Then he took me as his disciple and taught me many ancient spells.”

Yunxiu nodded and casually took out a staff from his storage bag and handed it to Yunce. This was a treasure he had found during his adventure. It wasn't very powerful for him, only increasing his attack priority by 5 points and reducing his energy consumption by 10%, plus the effect of an elemental missile.

Yun Ce naturally knew his cousin's strength, so he happily accepted the gift. Then, looking slightly embarrassed, he said to Yun Xiu, "Cousin, if you have any robes, could you sell me one? I can trade it for Mora... although Mora probably isn't much to you... I want a women's style."

Yunxiu glanced at him and Lan Yan, then smiled rather maliciously before continuing, "I do have a robe, but you'd better tell me what your relationship is with this Lan Yan. Besides, he might not even be willing to accept your robe, right?"

“Of course she would agree, the two of us… cough cough, this…” Yun Ce looked at Yun Xiu with considerable embarrassment, almost unable to utter a single word.

“The descendants of Wanxiang Fengjiao Lingguan and Yinling Jianyu Xuanniao… but my Yun family’s direct line is certainly worthy of them.” Yun Xiu smiled. In terms of strength alone, he was no less than these two ancient immortals. In addition, given his status as a child of gods, his clan’s status was certainly not lower than Lan Yan’s. Moreover, Liyue was not a place where bloodline determined rank.

He then took out a robe from his storage bag. Of course, it wasn't one of those high-end items he prepared for his girls; it was just a relatively ordinary seventh-ring level robe. Of course, for these two people who were currently at the fifth-ring level, it was a divine artifact.

With a flick of his finger, he gently draped the garment over Lan Yan's body, and chuckled, "Then let Miss Lan wear it directly. As for selling her, that's out of the question. Since my cousin personally asked for it, I'll certainly give him face..."

Lan Yan happily touched the robes on her body, took a few steps and went to eat with Yun Ce, leaving Hu Tao behind, staring at Yun Xiu with wide eyes.

"How much stuff do you have that you could give to a girl?" Hu Tao snatched Yun Xiu's storage bag and began to search it carefully. But the miscellaneous magical treasures and materials in Yun Xiu's storage bag were piled up like several mountains, leaving Hu Tao dumbfounded. "Where did you get all this...?"

"With my strength, I can easily obtain a large amount of materials by simply going out for a trip. It's not a big problem for me." Yunxiu put Hu Tao on her lap and said with a smile, "You don't know how powerful I am? Those divine artifacts of yours were all forged for you by the gods."

"Of course I know that... but I didn't expect you to actually have that much. Those two items you gave to Yun Ce and Lan Yan cost a million Mora." Hu Tao scratched her head, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh right, you didn't mention the price when you renovated the Rebirth Hall branch in Chenyu Valley, and no one told me how much it cost."

"It doesn't matter."

"But it's really expensive."

"Not as expensive as yours."

"Ugh, the sour smell is almost overflowing! Come and eat!" Xiangling ran out from the kitchen, handing a spoon to Yunxiu and Hutao, immediately interrupting their conversation...

Actually, Xiangling wasn't surprised at all that things had progressed this far with Hu Tao, but she was still a little angry. It wasn't Yunxiu's anger, but rather Hu Tao's, because after Hu Tao slept with Yunxiu, she hadn't slept with her much. Later, after Hu Tao spent a few days playing with Xiangling, their relationship returned to normal.

Yunxiu himself hadn't expected this turn of events; it turns out his wife is attracted to all kinds of people...

After finishing her meal, Hu Tao naturally went back to the Rebirth Hall to deal with all sorts of messy matters, and Yun Xiu naturally continued to help.

Having not done these things for a long time, Yunxiu worked at Wanmin Hall for three or four days until her aura had almost dissipated. Only then did she decide to set off again to ask those immortals in Jueyunjian about some things.

Xiangling had gotten used to Yunxiu's life of often wandering around and only coming back for a few days occasionally. She had naturally heard about the various major events that Yunxiu had handled this year, partly because Yunxiu would tell her some of them, and partly because she was also a disciple of an immortal and even possessed a divine artifact bestowed by the gods.

Although "Dream Reality" is a weapon with many facets, it is indeed one of the strongest cooking utensils in Teyvat—even stronger than some of the things the Emperor created.

She was well aware of how important what Yunxiu was doing was, so stabilizing the rear was her top priority.

She even occasionally had to deal with the relationships between the girls around Yunxiu. As a result, many girls would often come to Wanmintang to find Xiangling when they couldn't find Yunxiu.

This directly resulted in Xiangling becoming a true elder sister among the girls even without Yunxiu's guidance. She could quickly resolve any conflicts that arose, so Yunxiu didn't have to worry about anything.

Of course, there weren't many conflicts. The last one was between Yoomiya and Navia over whether to eat spicy or sour food...

Unfortunately, Xiangling's talent in cultivation is indeed not very strong...

Yunxiu sighed. If Xiangling were also a genius in cultivation, that would be perfect. But even with his full help, Xiangling was only at the fifth ring level. You know, Xiangling was already at the third ring at the very beginning of the story. She had been at the fifth ring for some time, but she hadn't reached the sixth ring yet.

After all, there may not be any perfect people in the world.

Um... perhaps the Emperor would count?

-----------------

At Yunxiu's current speed, it wouldn't take too long to get from Wanmintang to Aozang Mountain. In particular, the energy of the immortals was quite clear to Yunxiu, so in about 15 minutes, Yunxiu landed on Aozang Mountain.

As soon as they landed, they saw two immortals tidying up and repairing the Sword-Unraveling Pavilion. They were Gan Yu's mother, Gan Lin, and the True Lord of Moon-Cut-and-Sun-Building. Xian Yun, unusually, did not participate in the work, but sat at a small table to the side drinking tea. The Emperor was also sitting with him, while the True Lord of Water-Cleaning and Mountain-Stacking and the True Lord of Sea-Sounding and Cloud-Rising were playing chess on the other side.

These immortals have gathered together, a rare occurrence.

"Yunxiu is here?" Gan Lin saw Yunxiu arrive, put down his work, flew over, bowed to Yunxiu and said, "We are both immortals now. Although I am a few years older than you, you have indeed helped me a lot this time... Thank you."

“There’s no need to be so serious. I also have great respect for True Lord Caihong Zhuyue. At least I can’t even begin to grasp the level of his poetry and prose. No wonder Gan Yu has been able to work as his secretary for so long.” Yun Xiu accepted the bow only once before quickly stopping Gan Lin from continuing. For an elder like him, accepting it once was already the limit. He smiled and said, “You two are a divine couple… If I have the chance, I will try to revive him.”

"Resurrection... I know you resurrected Tongque and Minghai Qixia, but Qinglian's situation is different. He self-immolated, and his soul ultimately entered irreversible dissipation." Gan Lin said sadly, "It's a pity he wasn't very talented in cultivating the 'Severing the Three Corpses' technique, otherwise he might have survived."

Yunxiu nodded. Strictly speaking, ordinary methods would not work, but the methods he used were definitely not ordinary either. Knowing the name allowed him to locate the location, and mastering the power of the void allowed him to freely open the portal to time and space.

Theoretically, one could go back to the moment Li Qinglian perished, forcefully use a wishing spell to reverse his soul, and then revive him. Although he certainly couldn't do that now, it wasn't impossible.

“We’ll talk about this later. There should be a way. I came here today to ask about other things…” Yunxiu thought for a moment and decided to keep this matter to herself for now. Giving people hope rashly is not a good thing. If she couldn’t deliver on her promise, she would be hurting Gan Yu and Gan Lin twice in a row.

He was confident in resurrecting someone who had entered the ley lines, but resurrecting someone who had burned to ashes was theoretically possible, but practically extremely difficult.

"The Emperor has already told us what you want to do and what you want to say, and we roughly understand that, but many things cannot be explained in a short time... We will try to keep it simple." Xianyun, who was drinking tea, nodded and said, "So Fushe and Jinpeng are on their way, and we will try to tell you the full picture of the war when they arrive."

"Thanks……"

"It's alright, this is all for our sake, because Teyvat is indeed facing a life-or-death crisis." The Moon-Slicing Sun True Monarch waved his hand. After repairing the last inscription on the Sword-Unlocking Pavilion and using an array to completely stabilize the pavilion, he transformed into the long-robed immortal Yunxiu had seen, landing on the spot and saying, "I have followed the Emperor for over four thousand years, and I am quite familiar with these matters..."

“If it weren’t for the great disaster, I don’t think you would have gone to such lengths to revive me.” Narumi Qixia smiled. “Although I had a good relationship with you all back then, I think if there really was an important way to revive someone, you would probably choose to use the method of moving the heavens and guiding the sky. So there is only one possibility, which is that you want to revive many people and use me as an experiment.”

You don't need to underestimate yourself; you have quite a few secrets even among birds...

Yunxiu silently complained to herself, composed herself, and then said:

"So, what exactly is the Demon God War in your eyes?"

Chapter 304 Discussing the Source of the Calamity Fire in Sendai (First Update on Wednesday!)

"The War of Demons and Gods... In fact, many of us cannot understand why the Emperor participated in this war... Most of us followed the Emperor from the time of Guili or even earlier. He was not a person who was keen on power." The True Monarch of Xiaoyue Zhuyang touched his face, as if he remembered something, and said, "In fact, at the very beginning of the War of Demons and Gods, the Emperor even intended to end the conflict peacefully."

"Yes, I have that memory too. Gui Zhong and those demon gods cleared everything up, and on their behalf, they issued a decree calling on all the immortals in the world to end the conflict in a short time." Xian Yun crossed his arms, glanced at Li Shui Die Shan, and only continued after the latter sat down somewhat embarrassedly: "At first, many immortals were actually unwilling to participate, but after that war, many immortals joined the war, which is why the Thousand Rock Army appeared, and why the immortals' formations came into being..."

One by one, the immortals talked about their past and the details of that war.

Initially, Lishui Dieshan did not want to participate in the war, but the flooding of Guiliji changed everything. The death of Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun led many immortals to join the war, and the demon war in Liyue was exceptionally fierce...

The immortals naturally knew that the intensity of the war between demon gods in other countries was not actually that high. Because of Liyue's strength and the promotion of immortal arts, many powerful people from other countries came to Liyue to learn immortal arts and various Taoist techniques. Even Xiaoyue Zhuyang had taken in many disciples from abroad.

Of course, some live long and some die short. While there are differences between disciples of the long-lived and short-lived races, they have all been left with many memories.

Through the accounts of many of them, Yunxiu finally pieced together the initial situation of the Demon God War.

In fact, before the Demon God War began, the three gods of Liyue had already come together, namely Gui Zhong, Maxius, and the Emperor, forming a fairly solid alliance.

Therefore, after realizing that the Emperor did not intend to exterminate them, many demons signed contracts with him and sent him many related tokens, including many divine artifacts. For example, the "Stabilizing Earth Jade" of the Rocky Cliff and the "Stabilizing Earth Jade" of the White Art often came from the Jade Valley, which shows how good their relationship was at that time.

It was precisely for this reason that at the very beginning of the war between the demons and gods, when the Emperor summoned all the immortals in the world to restore peace and order, he truly intended to end the chaos quickly.

Many immortals were not prepared to participate in the war, and no one paid much attention to the intensity of the war between the demons and gods, especially when several gods signed a pact, which objectively made Liyue almost nominally unified.

The demon god of Shenyu Valley sent a token, and several immortal-level experts from the Sea God Palace entered Liyue. At the same time as the three gods were unified, the Emperor also found the Ruotuo Dragon King. These powerful warriors could almost suppress everything.

What else is there to worry about?

What is there to be afraid of?

Everyone thought so, including the Emperor himself, who relaxed his guard a bit. As the God of Contracts, he could naturally sense anything amiss with those who signed the contracts. He could tell that these demon gods had no problems with their mindset and consciousness when they signed the contracts, which is why they signed the covenants with peace of mind.

But soon...

From the flooding of Guili Village to the sneak attack on Guizhong, from the demise of Guizhong to the collapse of Tianheng Mountain, the death of Yixiao Daotian, and the fall of Maxius, all these events were interconnected, quickly shattering the initial arrangements made by the Emperor and Liyue in the Demon God War.

What followed was the transmission of numerous techniques, the formation of the Thousand Rock Army, and the large-scale involvement of the immortals in the war. The bloodiest war between the demon gods and the immortals in Liyue lasted for a thousand years, ultimately turning Liyue into a sea of ​​blood. But in the end, they won everything. As for how many demon gods and legendary powerhouses were buried, it is difficult to calculate.

When everyone starts wondering if there's a mastermind behind it all, whether that mastermind actually exists or not becomes irrelevant.

Even if there isn't one, everyone will fabricate a mastermind behind it all, and then everyone will believe in its existence.

Furthermore, many demons themselves had also fallen into madness, so in the end the two wills merged, resulting in the final outcome—that the Emperor could only slaughter his old friends and those demons.

The brutal war between demons and gods lasted for a thousand years. Many immortals and yakshas even developed flaws in their Dao hearts as a result. Immortals who cultivated by severing their three corpses would mostly lose something or even amplify their own shortcomings if they did not possess extremely strong willpower.

“This may be because Liyue is quite different from other countries.” Yunxiu thought for a while and said, “Liyue established a social system and an advanced civilization very early on. According to Lei Shen, a civilization that runs at full speed may be stopped by the laws of nature, and the laws of nature itself are also afraid of these things.”

"So... the war in Liyue was likely initiated by someone, and the purpose of this war from the beginning was to interrupt Liyue's upward momentum."

This is something Yunxiu thought about for a long time before she finally understood. After the Demon God and the Emperor signed a contract to quickly quell the chaos, once Liyue enters a period of rapid development, the strength of the entire Liyue will rise rapidly. Although the speed of rise will naturally not be able to match Yunxiu's operation, that is, directly using various magic systems to enhance Liyue.

However, the effect is the same; with one gaining at the expense of the other, it's almost equivalent to Liyue having two thousand more years to develop!

Moreover, with the guidance of the Demon God, the development speed of the entire civilization will naturally be faster. In particular, the survival of Gui Zhong will naturally increase the civilization's own tolerance for mistakes. Gui Zhong's wisdom and overall vision are even slightly stronger than those of the Emperor, which is something the Emperor does not deny.

Why is it said that Liyue's method cannot be widely implemented?

The biggest problem is that Phanes himself is afraid.

Why did Faenes develop a system that was fundamentally flawed?

Even today, the Teyvat cultivation system can still be described as quite chaotic. While Yunxiu has improved the cultivation methods by replacing the Eye of God system with a spell system, the problem is that the spell system has not completely encompassed the Teyvat cultivation system, which is unavoidable.

One reason is that the magic system itself is still not perfect, and Yunxiu has not yet found a way to cultivate her mind.

On the other hand, Teyvat itself has a cultivation system, namely lifespan and transcendence...

The methods of Teyvat are so complex that even a magic master like Yunxiu would have a brain hemorrhage. Therefore, most people still use a combination of two methods to cultivate, and only by combining multiple methods can they ensure success in cultivation.

This is also because Yunxiu lowered the threshold; otherwise, even with this cultivation method, it would be impossible to achieve.

When you carefully study the methods of Teyvat itself, you will discover some truly incredible things.

Energy, combat power, and lifespan are three things that require different cultivation methods, and they are not even related to each other!

The physical body is combat power, energy is the soul, and lifespan is related to rank, which is the final spirit. In fact, Master René cultivated the spirit and soul, but gave up the physical body. Therefore, his combat power is not strong, and he is far from being a match for the Traveler. However, his rank and soul are extremely powerful.

However, Master René cannot become a transcendent being in this way, because only when the spirit, soul, and body are united can one truly become a transcendent being. In reality, many people cannot do this, and most people are actually half-step transcendent beings. Of course, even if all three are successfully cultivated, without the unity of the three, one cannot be considered a transcendent being.

Why is the "Severing the Three Corpses" method so powerful? Because Severing the Three Corpses truly allows one to cultivate all three!

However, most immortals are already doing well to sever the lower body that represents their physical body and become immortals. Due to the limitations of Fanes himself, even beings like the True Lord of Moon-Slicing and Sun-Building who have severed two bodies cannot truly sever their ego and ultimately achieve transcendence by merging the three bodies into one.

However, this raises another issue. When the Emperor achieved the Three Corpses, it must have happened before the arrival of Fanes, or at least during the era when the Angels and March still existed. This is a setting that has been in place since the game's launch.

After Fanes, the rules of heaven and earth changed, and many people were stuck outside the threshold of the Three Corpses. In this era, the level of the Primordial God can be said to be the bottom line for cultivating the Three Corpses. If you want to cultivate successfully, you even need to reach the Legendary level. This is partly because the method of the Three Corpses is inherently difficult.

Another reason is that the rules of heaven and earth have changed. Only when one is powerful enough to retrieve their destiny star and understand part of the trajectory of fate can one begin to sever the three corpses.
