I'm in the Teyvat running group

“I think everyone is well aware of how much effort it took to preserve these things. Even if the Eternal Oasis used a portion of them, the rest is enough for you to resurrect that One of Departure.” Marikalin said solemnly, “I don’t think I have an obligation to hand him over without a sufficient price.”

What can be used as a price for this?

Mora? This thing can't possibly be priced in Mora. Strictly speaking, the entire Golden House would be enough for him, since the Mora was created by Zhongli's casual clone. Calling it a Celestial Ancestor's Dharma Transformation wouldn't be a problem.

Equipment? This flower goddess's powers are most likely related to wishes and dreams. Even if she can't instantly cast a wish spell, she probably won't be too far off, so she's unlikely to lack any equipment.

As for feelings or sexual favors, that's even more absurd. Even if she doesn't mind, Yunxiu herself doesn't really want anything to happen between them. Her personality is much worse than Yueji's. Yueji is still very obedient. She even spent the Lantern Festival with him obediently a few days ago.

"I can promise that in the world I create after I transcend worldly limitations, there will be a 'divine position' for you." Yunxiu thought for a moment, then decided to be straightforward and offer the most precious thing she could at this stage. She looked at Marykalin earnestly and said, "So far, I have only promised Little Lucky Grass King the position of 'Lord of Wisdom' for my new world. If you are willing, I can reserve the divine position of 'Lord of Dreams' for you."

"You? Created a world independent of Teyvat itself?" Marikarin said in disbelief. "The materials weren't contaminated by the abyss beyond the heavens?"

"I found the materials from a witch..." Yunxiu explained simply. This thing was indeed obtained by him from the witch Okotavia of the Thousand Stars. It was something that did not truly belong to Teyvat. This product was also the key to his future transcendence, although it might be very rudimentary.

“If that’s the case…you’ve given way too much…” Marikalin said hesitantly, “This price isn’t enough to bear such a huge karmic burden. You wouldn’t want to do the same thing as your avatar, would you…By the way, are you married?”

“He’s married, but it’s said that he’s been involved with more than one woman.” Nilu looked at Yunxiu with a grin. At times like this, the dancer was quite enthusiastic: “And it seems that he has one or two women in every country with whom he has a very good relationship, especially in Liyue, where there are quite a few.”

"Tch, just like its master, you really are a lecher!" Marikalin mocked Yunxiu, feigning anger, then casually added, "However... it's not that I can't understand it?"

"Um... let's talk about that later. Right now, we need to deal with the most crucial thing, which is the material we need to get for the resurrection." Yunxiu looked helplessly at the three women here. Sure enough, goddesses are still women. When it comes to these topics, everyone's thoughts are really similar: "I promised you this. As for any extra rewards, they are not that important. I only need this material right now."

“Oh.” Marikarin instantly regained her indifferent expression, reached out and pulled out a peculiar crystal-encased object from the void, handing it to Yunxiu: “I think you should be able to find someone to deal with it, but this thing also has another use, which is that it can also help people cultivate those transcendent secret techniques… Oh right, I need to share some with Buyer.”

With a slight tug, she conjured a new crystal and handed it to the Great Tree King, smiling as she said, "Consider this an apology from back then. As the incarnation of the World Tree, you must sever your ties with this world as soon as possible. Treat the World Tree as a treasure, and transcend it!"

Yunxiu did not stop him. In fact, he also planned to give some to Mavika at that time, and also give her the Star Carving Knife that represents "time". This should be enough for Mavika to surpass him, and the God of Fire would no longer have to worry about his lifespan.

Of all the gods now, the three gods of wind, rock, and thunder are naturally beyond question. Since the Thunder Sisters were able to use "severing the three corpses" to create "attaining enlightenment," then surpassing them shouldn't be a big problem. Judging from the original storyline, since Thunder Movie eventually became a truly eternal will, and was able to fight the Thunder General in space for hundreds of years without any slackening, it can be seen that surpassing them is not a big problem.

With the help of Mary Karin, the Great Tree King of Sumeru seems to have achieved transcendence, while the Ice Queen of Winter is clearly following the path of the Third Descendant.

Fu Ningna is his woman, someone he helped rise to power, and he even gave her a carving knife back then, so surpassing her shouldn't be a problem.

The only one left is Mavica. Although the Emperor taught her the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique, cultivation is definitely not that simple. Give her a carving knife and some fragments, and transcending should not be a problem.

This means that at least six of the seven gods are on their side...

"So... it's because of my identity that Apep has been avoiding me and refusing to see me, is that right?" Yunxiu suddenly seemed to remember something and said to the Great Compassion Tree King, "Then please ask the Tree King to also tell him that now is indeed the time to accumulate strength, and the next attack may come very soon."

The Great Compassion Tree King nodded. She wasn't surprised that Yunxiu had thought of these things; in fact, she had learned some bits and pieces from Apep.

After resolving everything, Yunxiu pulled Nilu away from Jingshan Palace, leaving Marikalin and the Great Compassion Tree King there to chat about the past... This kind of gathering of old women was really a bit scary.

“Mr. Yun, may I go with you to the front lines in Nata? I originally wanted to go to the front lines in the Sumeru Dead Domain, but it seems that Nata is more important now…” Nilu generously extended her hand to Yun Xiu, smiling as she said, “Besides, your dancing is quite good. Perhaps we can dance together again?”

"Hmm... Of course you can go if you want, but please be careful. I can't always be there to protect you." Yunxiu didn't think too much about it; Nilu was quite good at this kind of thing.

She also enjoys participating in "correct" things, like the incident when she rescued the Little Lucky Grass King. Nel herself danced at the entrance of the Order of the Church, so it's perfectly normal for her to want to go to the front lines now.

"Do you think our great hero of Teyvat would care about such things?" Nyru looked at Yunxiu with a smile, even a hint of provocation, and said, "You're not going to tell me that the girls are around you because of your wealth and looks, Mr. Yun, girls also like things that are earth-shattering!"

"Why are they all around you? Isn't it because the storms you create are bigger than those of many mediocre people combined?"

"Even if it were me... without the appearance of the Spirit Realm, I wouldn't have achieved my current status."

Looking at Nilu's sparkling eyes, Yunxiu realized that Nilu was actually his little fangirl! This was something he really hadn't expected. To be honest, among all the girls around him, there were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, such as Xiangling and Hutao; there were also those he helped solve truly life-or-death situations, such as Shenhe, Liuying, Yueji, and Funina; and there were a few who went along with him because of his status and strength... such as Shenli Linghua and Navia.

People like Grandma and Yomiya initially approached each other because they liked "their imagined selves," and naturally, their later adventures led them to be together.

Yan Fei's relationship with the immortals was so tightly bound that she didn't dislike herself, and even the immortals were happy to see it happen.

But Nel is actually a fan of his; she's Teyvat's idol, and he's her idol?

This is a bit messy, let me sort it out...

"Alright... I'll take you to Nata. Once the large-scale Night Watcher War begins, you can just stay at the Holy Flame Arena and encourage everyone." Yunxiu looked at Nilu, who had already opened her arms, and didn't think too much about it. Instead, she picked her up in a princess carry and instantly soared into the sky, heading straight for Nata.

Nilu stayed quietly in Yunxiu's arms. Even though she was just an ordinary person, she knew what kind of storms she was about to encounter. This strange feeling made her even a little excited, and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around Yunxiu's neck.

If we further enhance Mavica's strength, the Night Watchers War will officially begin. We will wipe out Gustot in one fell swoop, then revive Guizhong, and the next step is to bring the moon back and completely challenge the bottom line of the laws of nature!

Sever the three corpses, cut off attachment to self, break through sinful nature, and attain enlightenment!

This is the path one should take when traveling to the world of Genshin Impact!

Chapter 356 Praise for Cleansing the Dust and Purifying the Flames of War

Severing the three corpses may not necessarily make one much stronger, but it will definitely improve one's control over oneself.

Moreover, because the Dragon Scale Staff's original body was taken away by the Three Corpses, Yunxiu felt as if something was indeed missing from her body. However, this missing part was a conceptual one and didn't actually have much of an impact. Although the Three Corpses Slaying was supposed to sever the one corpse of obsession, as mentioned before, it was actually a kind of integration and acceptance, not a true removal.

Yunxiu still has her obsessions, and even the later merging of the three corpses is just a more complete concept.

They flew across the Sumeru Desert and soon arrived at Nata's territory. This probing attack should be over by now, as most of Nata's warriors did not show any sadness on their faces; on the contrary, many were quite happy.

After a quick glance, Yunxiu understood the general reason. The other six countries had sent a large number of powerful warriors and war constructs, and with Nata's preparations over the past year, the war had gone quite smoothly with very few losses. Even the wounded recovered quickly with the support of the troops.

Healing spells have naturally been developed in many ways. Whether it's healing or restoration, almost every country now has a group of doctors who specialize in learning them. Even though mastering advanced restoration is difficult, most problems and injuries don't require such a powerful product as advanced restoration. Generally speaking, a few basic and intermediate skills are enough.

Just like how most treatments don't require the use of the seventh-ring level Cursed Illusionary Holy Light, this thing can restore 4D12 health points to everyone within a range of tens of meters at once. According to the ring rank, it can restore tens of thousands of points at once, and it can last for a long time.

In fact, a second-ring healing prayer is sufficient for most situations. It can restore 2D8+ modifier value of health to each of the six people at once. Most Teyvats will stabilize at the fourth or fifth ring after they can cast spells, and can cast group spells to restore several thousand health points at once, which is basically enough.

A fifth-ring priest or mage in Teyvat will generally have at least a +4 modifier. Even without considering spells that increase elemental power, 351 elemental power is generally enough to cast Healing Prayer four times.

However, Yunxiu and many scholars have also developed a number of spells and items that enhance elemental energy. The most basic energy storage spell can store five days' worth of energy, while the higher-level fourth and fifth-ring energy perception spell can accelerate energy recovery by four to five times.

Sustained combat capability is naturally not an issue either.

With these supports, Nata's casualties in this Night Watcher War were naturally reduced to a minimum.

Moreover, there are many legendary experts to deal with the large monsters, which greatly reduces the pressure. In previous large-scale Night Watcher wars, Nata suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and even more than 100,000 casualties, even with resurrection. This shows just how great the pressure was.

It's no wonder that when Mavica heard that the six kingdoms were willing to help her win the Night Watchers War, she didn't hesitate to join forces with several other gods to kill the Moon Hunters, even though the Moon Hunters' status and combat power were quite terrifying.

“So, the Night Watchers’ War is this dangerous…” Nilu looked at the Nata warriors below who were treating the wounded and said with concern, “Even if these wounded survive, will they have a hard time making a living? And… I see many disabled people.”

“That’s how war is. There’s a good chance Teyvat will have an even bigger war in the future.” Yunxiu looked at the situation and sighed again. “Things in this world are never perfect. But once I see it, I can’t just sit idly by. If I see it and don’t offer help, then it’s my responsibility.”

Yunxiu adjusted her posture and waved her hand. Instantly, a life domain with a radius of tens of kilometers appeared on the ground. A large amount of green spiritual light kept moving on the ground. One healer after another appeared. Even the limbs of warriors who had lost limbs were slowly growing back. The spiritual light of the spells even began to spread. Even the warriors who had not been injured after participating in the battle were emitting wisps of black energy.

This is the dispelling of the abyss's corruption!

The legendary healing spell "Ode to Life"!

Moreover, it was the thirteenth ring version enhanced by Yunxiu. Of course, as mentioned before, it was only the numerical value that was enhanced; the concept and effect were not. Yunxiu simply expanded the range by nine times, almost covering the entire tribe of the Suspended Wood People and the Echo Child. Many powerful individuals here felt this power.

With a gentle reach, three spatial gates opened in front of Yunxiu. In an instant, three identical "Ode to Life" were launched out: one covered the Land of Wolu, one covered the Flower Feather Society and the Lord of Smoke Mystery, and the last covered the Flowing Spring Clan and a portion of the Suspended Wood People that were not covered.

The power of the four legendary spells instantly began to unfold throughout Nata. The powerful spells covered the area where many Nata warriors had gathered, and after all the wounded had been healed, the light would also help find other Nata creatures that needed healing.

Even many smaller dragons benefited from this, and some wounds caused by battles between dragons were directly erased by the power of the legendary spell.

"This... you healed them all?" Nilu looked at the entire Nata bathed in a tender green aura and asked quite seriously, "Is this... something that magic can do? It seems to be even more effective than dance..."

“Dance has its purpose, and magic has its meaning. Humans naturally need power and survival, but they also need art.” Yunxiu casually cast a few legendary restoration spells, completely cleansing the corrupting aura from some powerful figures, before continuing to fly towards the Holy Flame Arena with Nilu in her arms. “Besides… doing this isn’t really a good thing. I can’t stay in Nata forever. These spells themselves need someone to cast them, and there aren’t many legendary mages who can cast spells as easily as I can…”

This is no joke.

The casting of a conceptual legendary spell is actually very complicated. Not only do you need to understand the spell itself, but you also need enough materials. The casting of a spell cannot be done without roots. If an ordinary legendary mage were to cast such a spell, he would likely need a branch of an ancient silver tree as a medium.

But one can imagine how precious the branches of the silvery-white ancient tree are; they can be used to create bodies of gods.

Yunxiu directly used the Prayer spell to forcibly replace it, burning his other legendary materials in the process, before he could use them to cast the spell. In particular, the upgrade version requires a lot of additional materials.

However, Yunxiu's treatment wasn't out of pity for Nilu; it was simply because the next Night Watchers war might come exceptionally quickly, possibly even within a few days. Without treatment, these wounded would still die if they lacked care.

Even if there were a few legendary priests, dealing with these would require consuming their resources, so it would be better to just do it yourself.

“I know, just like children need to go through storms to grow up… But no one can remain indifferent to this,” Nilu said with a smile. “Besides, even without my reminder, you were already planning to do this, weren’t you?”

"You're quite clever." Yunxiu smiled but didn't say anything. The two quickly arrived at the Sacred Flame Arena.

They found Ianshan and asked her to make arrangements for Nel's situation. Nata certainly needed these cultural workers. During the war, beautiful dances were a way to boost morale. However, this was usually the responsibility of Hanaha. Soon, Chaska arrived and took Nel away.

Nilu didn't refuse, but quietly told Yunxiu that she would come to find him after work that night, and then quickly left with Chaska.

Yunxiu then went to the small room behind the main hall—this was the place of Vulcan Mavica. He planned to give Mavica some of the Heavenly Nail fragments and the Star Carving Knife representing time. This should solve Mavica's problem in one fell swoop, and at the same time, it would most likely solve the problem of the Source Fire Throne. At least Capitano wouldn't need to sit on that throne and forcibly bind himself to the God of Night...

The door to Mavica's room was open, and several sounds of laughter and clinking glasses could be heard coming from inside; they sounded quite familiar.

"The most difficult part of the secret method of 'severing the three corpses' is actually the 'merging of the three corpses into one.' With the current laws being incomplete, achieving this merging is almost impossible..."

"Hey, don't talk so pessimistically. Your new disciple has the potential to merge with you, right? Speaking of which, he's still just a nominal disciple. Being a personal disciple is really tough for you, old man. How many personal disciples do you have? Oh, by the way, you haven't even taken that kid Yunxiu in yet, hahaha!"

"Thank you both very much this time. Both Liyue and Mondstadt have been a great help to Nata." It was clearly Maviska's voice. She laughed heartily, her demeanor no less imposing than the old men's. After a distinct slur of drinking, she continued with a smile, "However, I've been progressing quite smoothly with the arcane arts themselves. It's just that Barbatos's mention of 'turning point' and 'help' has been bothering me a lot lately..."

"Hehe, of course I'm saying there's no problem at all." Wendy also took a few gulps of Nata's strong liquor, chuckled a few times, and then deliberately said to the door, "Look, the person we're waiting for has arrived at the door, so hurry up and come in!"

Chapter 357 The Secrets of the Divine Banquet Reveal Heavenly Mysteries

“Lord Barbatos, since you know everything, you should also know what I have in my hands…” Yunxiu pushed open the door and went in helplessly. Sure enough, he saw the three gods sitting together drinking. But what puzzled him was that there was actually a fourth person at the table, but he hadn’t said anything.

The existence of this person is what puzzled him!

"Nico... why are you here?" Yunxiu looked at the mute witch and realized why she had only heard three voices earlier. If Nico didn't want to speak to anyone, then naturally no voice would appear in other people's minds. In addition, this legendary peak mage of the transformation type was extremely powerful, so it was not strange for her to appear anywhere.

"Our Witches' Guild will definitely get involved in some of these matters. The main reason I'm here is to finalize a deal with Lord Vulcan..."

Yunxiu nodded, casually walked behind Zhongli, and gently took out a crystal containing the Heavenly Nail fragments and a Star Carving Knife representing "time," placing them in front of Zhongli. He then stood quietly in place. He had originally planned to discuss a deal with Mavica, but now that his father was here, there was no need for him to personally handle the matter.

Zhongli naturally knew what the Star Carving Knife and the Heavenly Nail Fragment were and what their uses were. After all, even without discussing history, he himself had used the one representing "Rock." He instantly understood Yunxiu's meaning, smiled slightly, and gestured for Yunxiu to sit down before slowly saying, "It seems... we have another business deal to discuss today."

"These are fragments of the Star Carving Knife and the Heavenly Nail, which can alter one's destiny. Where did you get these things? Oh... judging from the aura, it seems to be my angel sister. Is she still alive?"

"You can go to Xumi to see her condition. Of course, I can't say whether she's dead or alive, but she is indeed your sister, which she has admitted." Yunxiu casually pointed, and a chair in the corner of the room was pulled over. He sat down a little behind Zhongli and relaxed quite easily, which was his usual way of resting.

The gods were not surprised. They were well aware that Yunxiu had just used a series of legendary spells to forcibly heal all the warriors of Nata, so they wouldn't care about such trivial matters.

Of course, the most important thing right now is to finalize the deal for the Star-Carving Blade and the Sky Spike Fragment. Everyone present knows the terrifying value of these things, and even Wendy, who had been looking quite relaxed, became serious.

“If I’m not mistaken, there were originally nine carving knives. Now, the ones representing the elements have basically all been used... Only the two representing time and space remain. This one represents time, so its value is self-evident.” Wendy examined the coin carefully and said, “She even borrowed something from me before for this Yunxiu... Now it seems that she’s probably completed quite a bit of the deal with the Witch’s Guild, right?”

"Yes, both Barbiros and Octavia made a deal with him, but I really don't need it. Although I did consider getting one, angels can't transcend without sufficient opportunity, and I had already exhausted most of my conceptual power at that time. Now I'm just a pitiful being existing in this time, unable to speak. This thing doesn't have much use for me... By the way, do you know how the Star Carving Knife was described in ancient texts? Legend has it that it was the artifact of the moon goddess Selenne, and this goddess was actually an Outer God. The Nibelungs imitated her and raised three moons..."

You truly are an angel of ecstasy for the original scholars... I would call you the angel of original studies...

However, it must be said that Nicole is indeed quite beautiful in real life, especially seeing her up close for the first time. Her long golden hair and angelic aura are truly extraordinary. Among the women I have seen in Yunxiu, she is definitely in the top three in terms of temperament and beauty. There are some women whose looks can surpass hers.

For example, Raiden Shin, in terms of looks alone, the two are about the same, but their temperaments are completely different.

In particular, Raiden Shin is often accompanied by Raiden Movie when she appears, and her aura is overwhelming. Raiden Movie usually hides in Raiden Shin's shadow, and sometimes she only extends a sword during battle. This is why many people do not know that the Raiden sisters are actually twin gods.
