I'm in the Teyvat running group

Yunxiu touched Anxi's light blue hair. She had almost perfectly inherited Funina's beauty, but her hair was a pure light blue, very beautiful, like a gemstone.

"What are you acting out? Where are we in the story?"

"We've gotten to the part where Dad beats up the big bad guy Osel!" An Ying jumped out and struck a pretty cool pose: "Dad looked at Osel and said: My love, and this country!"

I'm certain I didn't say that...

While it's not unusual for some patriots to regard their country as their lover or mother, and I do indeed consider Liyue my home or mother, I would never say something so childish.

Furthermore, if it were the Emperor, wouldn't Liyue be essentially his child? After all, he was the one who founded Liyue.

and many more……?

Yunxiu suddenly realized that something was wrong.

“If you open the gates of Poheyura for him, he will allow that young bride to marry. You cheerful and kind-hearted handsome man, you know the wicked plot, yet you willingly set out. Otherwise, old Pagasugo will make his easily deceived daughter suffer the punishment in your place. The master of the seven calamities will cut you into seven pieces in the dark and foggy Poheyura. Pagasugo's daughter, that young and pure girl, will never marry again…” Yunxiu murmured as she read.

"This is... the 'Collection of Prayer Songs of Zhongbei'?" Bai Chen suddenly realized, "You mean..."

“Right… what if the daughter of Pagasugo here doesn’t refer to Queen Anastasia of Winter, but to the country founded by the White Sand Emperor?” Yunxiu said with some disbelief, “If that’s the case, then the White Sand Emperor told the Third Descendant that if Naboheyura wasn’t opened, the Abyss might invade Winter, which is the so-called punishment in place of others. The Third Descendant knew he was telling the truth, but still willingly set off to stop it all. But that one cut him into seven pieces, stabilized the world, so this calamity still happened. Winter not only has to face the danger of the Abyss, but it also led to the outbreak of a series of evil events, the madness of the Burial Fire, and the fall of the angels…”

"That young and pure girl will never marry again... does that mean that from now on, winter will never again establish a normal order, and there will be no permanent means to resist the invasion of the abyss?" Yae no Miko also understood: "If that's the case, then the shattering of the moon, the destruction of the reed plains, the instigation of the White Sand Emperor, the actions of the Third Descendant, and the disappearance of Tsukuyomi are actually all the same thing!"

“Yes, so the Third Adventist only ever had one lover.” Fox Palace uttered the name: “The First Angel, the Morning Star of the Far North, Koitar!”

“So, we now either need to find Tsukuyomi or Koitar.” Yunxiu tapped the table before continuing, “Where exactly was the ancient Reed Plain? Was the entrance really at Tsurugam? Or was it somewhere else?”

“Ashihara is Inazuma, that’s for sure.” Bai Chen shook his head. “The capital of Ashihara is now Tsurukan Island. Tsurukan was once hit by the Heavenly Nail, but that nail eventually disappeared, or perhaps it was demolished. But Tsurukan is now probably the island we’ve explored the most thoroughly… It has been completely demolished and rebuilt, so there can’t be any other place there.”

“Then it seems the only way is to go to the Celestial Court in Nephalem. Perhaps there will be some information there.” Yunxiu sighed. “As for the Abyss Palace, Taranis and the others will ask them for me, but I’ve always felt that Ashihara and Tsukuyomi are not so simple. Is it possible that they are hidden in the cracks of history like Hyperion?”

"The Tomorrow World of Inazuma is also under the control of Lord Raijin and Lord Kage, and there is no information about it." Kitsune-sai-miya said, "Or rather, the secrets of Inazuma itself have been almost completely uncovered long ago, as has the case of Ashihara. Some of the remnants of Ashihara came to the present Inazuma, and the great bird was killed by Lord Raijin himself. The information about Tsukuyomi can almost certainly only be found elsewhere, and Tomorrow is probably the most likely place."

"The ancient Celestial Royal Court is located here. Although that area hasn't been developed much, the vast territory of Zhidong itself holds many secrets..."

“I believe that.” Yunxiu nodded, then said, “Never mind, Ying is currently adventuring in Nordkalai. I’ll tell her that if there’s any news, I’ll make another trip. I’ll rest in Inazuma for a few days first; it’s been quite a while since I’ve been here.”

"That traveler is as energetic as ever." Bai Chen took a few sips of tea, ate a pastry, and then smiled. "I wonder if Master Yunxiu has time to give a few open lectures at Narukami Shrine and Taigakuin? Inazuma has produced a few quite good geniuses recently."

"I... alright." Yunxiu thought for a moment and agreed. After organizing the information, he sent it to Ying. Ying said that she was adventuring in the desolate corridor of Nordkale and encountered a peculiar phenomenon of "desolate color". She was also able to enter a strange space. However, she would be able to reach Lake Anvatinil in two or three days at most to explore the Fairy King's Court in more depth. She asked Yunxiu to wait a little longer.

It would take two or three days for news from Taranis to arrive, so Yunxiu wasn't in a hurry. Since there was no rush, giving a lecture at Daoqi wasn't out of the question.

So Yunxiu simply took the children back to live in the Shefengxing. He would bring the children here almost every summer, although the timing was not fixed. However, the retainers and servants here were used to it, so everything was prepared quickly.

Inazuma has undergone the most rapid changes of any nation in the past decade, except for the Winter Solstice. One reason is the major changes in the Three Magistrates and the existence of the Spirit Realm, which led Inazuma to introduce Liyue's magic and academy system, bringing a large number of civilians into the system. This directly led to the birth of the "Fourth Magistrate," a group of powerful individuals under the command of the Castle Keep.

Many of them were bestowed the surnames Yae or Raiden, which are considered very prestigious surnames in Inazuma. Most of these people were of commoner origin and had united together. They now basically control most of Inazuma's army and some of its mid-to-high-end combat forces. In addition to yokai, most of Inazuma's strongmen, as well as humans, have also joined this faction, which has further weakened the Tenryo Regime's control.

However, ten years ago, the Tenryo Magistrate was basically replaced by the yokai, so it wasn't a big deal. The powerful ones still went their own way, which was the daily routine of the great yokai.

After the laws were completed, Minamoto no Nagi and Kitsune-no-Miya successfully advanced to the realm of transcendent beings. They are also the strongest beings below the gods in Inazuma. Compared to ten years ago, Inazuma can now be said to have three gods at the same time. Tsukihime is also a proper moon goddess. With two demigods and more than ten legendary peak powerhouses, Inazuma can be said to be firmly among the top three in the six kingdoms. Inazuma's combat power is only slightly weaker than Liyue and Nata, and is comparable to Mondstadt.

Of course, the most significant changes have occurred in the Spirit Realm.

Over the past decade, the Spirit Realm has been expanding its size and influence. With the improvement of the new generation of dream-spreading techniques, the Spirit Realm has now truly become a second world.

Inazuma still bears more than 70% of the computing power pressure in Teyvat, and "computing power export" has become a business. This has increased the energy pressure on Inazuma. However, with the success of the first artificial Demonic Core in Liyue, the second artificial Demonic Core has been tested and will soon be transported to Tassa, thus completely stabilizing the energy pressure on Inazuma.

According to Yunxiu's calculations, a fully powered artificial demon core can output power almost equivalent to a demon energy source with a correction value of around +45, which means it has a terrifying throughput capacity of outputting hundreds of millions of elemental energy per second.

It takes about 100 tons of energy liquid per year. Sugar extraction is quite fast. If that's not intuitive enough, to put it in terms of electricity on Earth, one artificial demon core can produce about 10 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. Three of them would be enough for the entire planet.

However, Teyvat consumes a lot more resources. Yunxiu calculated that it would take about 30 to 35 full-power Demon Cores to barely make a difference. Using a quarter of the power of the cores on the Jade Pavilion could also significantly improve the Jade Pavilion's attack power.

Currently, Xiaoyue and Xianyun are attempting to modify the power array of Qunyu Pavilion and add a protective system, trying to see if they can fly out of the atmosphere for use. At this stage, the outlook is quite optimistic, but it is unlikely to be possible in the short term.

Sugar calculated the cost some time ago. The extraction cost of one ton of energy liquid is about 30 million Mora. The cost of about 100 billion Mora a year is enough to power the entire Teyvat. It is so cheap that it is almost unbelievable. The cost per person is only about 10 Mora.

After all, Teyvat now has a population of approximately 90 billion, so these costs can be easily spread out.

At least Liyue has already begun planning to build two more artificial Demon God Cores, and starting from the Lantern Festival next year, all civilian energy supply in Liyue will be free. This is what Tianxuan told me some time ago. Civilian energy is not much to begin with, accounting for less than one-tenth of the total energy consumption, and the annual cost is about two to three billion Mora. Even with the cost of the artificial Demon God Cores, it will not exceed five billion.

Yunxiu spent four whole days lounging around at the shrine, teaching a class at both the Narukami Shrine and the Taigakuin branch of Inazuma. He even took on a few nominal disciples, including one with truly exceptional talent, to whom Yunxiu bestowed upon a method of cultivation, promising to accept him as a true disciple once he broke through to the Legendary level.

Finally, on the morning of the fifth day, he got out of bed, told Xiaogong that he could sleep a little longer, and then slowly walked to the reception room, where he met Ying and Taranis, who were already drinking tea.

Upon seeing Yunxiu's arrival, Ying gestured, but Taranis spoke first: "Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

"Don't tell me that now... What's the good news?"

“You’re really boring.” Taranis shook his head with a smile. “The bad news is, there’s no information from either Koitar or Tsukuyomi.”

"That's definitely bad news."

"But we found some records of fairies, which may lead us to the past of that Ice Dragon King."

Chapter 473 Fairies Await the Moon to See the Spirit Realm

"Fairies?" Yunxiu asked with some curiosity, "If I remember correctly, most of the fairies were driven out of this place by Queen Zhidong after the war five hundred years ago?"

“That’s right, but it’s not that simple.” Taranis picked up a peculiar notebook and handed it to Yunxiu, turning to a page and saying, “Some fairies still live in Winter’s End, such as the Swappers and the Daloglad clan. Voyanisa, the famous principal soprano of the Kololevsky Theatre in Winter’s End, is a descendant of that clan.”

"This Columbia did tell me that she actually quite enjoys watching operas, so she used to frequently use the executive's free tickets to go..."

"Yes, so we dug up information about the Ice Dragon King from some fairies. The remains of this dragon king are very likely buried in the Celestial Royal Court."

“That’s a very good answer. So the question is, how do we get into the Immortal Spirit Royal Court?” Yunxiu looked at Ying, who was quietly eating snacks, and smiled. “If I’m not mistaken, Ying should have already found a way to get to the Immortal Spirit Royal Court.”

“You really can’t hide it from me. I spent three days at Lake Anvatinil and didn’t find much. Paimon, on the other hand, found something different from the world itself. We found a palace there.” Ying thought for a moment, then took out a few slightly blurry photos and handed them to Yunxiu: “This should be the last residence of Koitar. Although we don’t know who built it, there should definitely be a hidden space. We can sense the surging energy in the area, but we can’t get in.”

Paimon's guess is that a gap might be opened only when the concentration of lunar power is at its lowest each year. She sensed some familiar auras inside, but she didn't know where they came from.

Yunxiu nodded. Over the years, he had basically determined Paimon's identity. He was most likely a part of Fanes, or perhaps Paimon was the real Fanes. Ying naturally knew this as well.

But knowing this makes it all the less important. After all, even if Paimon truly regains her memories, she can't do anything. On the contrary, Yunxiu is confident she can find a way to banish her. What harm could she possibly cause under her nose? Besides, Paimon and Ying's twelve-year relationship isn't fake. It's best not to expose many things.

“The lunar distance force concentration will be at its lowest in more than two months this year… Columbia announces the highest and lowest points of the lunar distance force every year. This year it should be September 25th, and the highest will be October 18th. That means we just need to prepare before that moment.” Yunxiu did some quick thinking and then stopped thinking about it for the time being: “In that case, let’s take a good rest for a while. Let’s not take any risks during this time. The children will basically be on vacation.”

"The day after tomorrow should be Xiaogong's birthday, right? The family reunion this month is in Inazuma, right?" Ying and Taranis exchanged a smile before continuing, "Everyone should start arriving tomorrow, but Yanfei told me that there are two more meetings after tomorrow that you have to go with her. One is the Spirit Realm allocation meeting. Starting next month, the Spirit Realm will undergo a major upgrade, so many things will need to be renegotiated. The second is that the immortals seem to have an interesting plan recently. All the half-immortals and immortal disciples will also have to participate to obtain their own titles... Heisho and the others will also be participating."

"Alright..." Yunxiu sighed, resignedly lying down on the carpet of the magistrate: "Am I considered a disciple of an immortal? I guess... I don't need to be, right?"

Ying stretched out her fair, delicate feet and stomped hard on Yunxiu's feet twice before saying irritably, "You're an immortal, you should be a judge!"

Yunxiu pulled her along, and Ying stumbled and fell directly into his arms. Taranis laughed gleefully at this and was about to get up and leave when Ying pulled him down as well, and they rolled into a ball.

"Ying~ want to go eat together~" Paimon's voice came from outside the door, but before she could finish speaking, Yunxiu flicked her finger, and a gold card appeared in Paimon's hand.

"You can eat whatever you want at Wuyouting, just write it down here. Bring Anzhi and the others along..." Yunxiu called out with a smile, "Ying plans to spar with me, so she won't be going with you."

"Okay, I don't know why you two always have to spar, but I'll let it slide since you always treat me to big meals." Paimon scratched his head, clutching the card, and floated away, her voice still ringing out, "Anzhi~ Anyue~ Let's go eat at Wuyouting together~"

The two arrivals and the angel closed the doors and windows and began to spar.

All I can say is that this is yet another battle that has resulted in deaths.

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

Regardless, everyone ate dinner at the Shefeng Temple. Almost all the children had been brought over by Shenhe. Given the current spatial conditions of Teyvat, there were still a few children who couldn't withstand the immense pressure of teleportation, so Shenhe had to bring them over. However, this wasn't a big deal. The children really liked their mother, Shenhe, who often worked at the Manmindo and occasionally returned to Mount Okuzang, bringing back some celestial snacks.

Although she is not a particularly talkative person, she only talks more to her children.

Yun Ansheng's appearance is indeed like Shen He's. According to Gan Yu, she looks almost exactly like Shen He when he was a child. But what's interesting is that her talent is Druid, which is different from both her parents. She has even combined some magic with it to create a unique branch called Immortal Druid. Fortunately, it is still within the range that Lauma can teach. However, it is precisely because of this that she turned into a crane and flew to Inazuma with her mother.

According to Rauma's assessment, this child has quite good druidic talent, but he is not the kind of druid who leans towards nature, healing, and spirituality. Instead, he is a combat-type druid who can be versatile and has considerable combat power.

After receiving this news from Lauma, Yunxiu planned to try to forge a magical weapon like the Golden Cudgel for the child. She even asked Ansheng what kind of weapon he liked. Ansheng said he wanted a long spear, like the one used by the Monkey King.

So he shifted his research focus from magical artifacts like the Golden Cudgel to trying to create six magical artifacts to see if he could create Teyvat Red Boy. Anyway, he was good to the child and wasn't afraid of destroying his father...

The atmosphere in the Yun family is very relaxed, not just because there are many children, but because the children are not put too much pressure on them. Even An Ying and Ping He, whose talents are relatively average, are like this. With the Kiss of Time and the Heart of Evolution as a safety net, plus Yun Xiu's occasional help, the children can be forcibly pulled to the legendary level at the very least, and they will all break through to the legendary level in Yun Xiu's small world.

Breakthroughs here are not restricted by the Teyvat universe, and lifespans are longer even without the Kiss of Ages.

Yun Pingsong was the first to break through here. After the flood control battle, Yue Ji cut out several bolts of life lightning in Yunxiu's small world, and then it entered a long period of development. Even with time acceleration, nine years later it had only reached the point where there were some simple life forms and plants, but the laws had begun to gradually improve.

According to Yun Pingsong's feelings and assessment, after breaking through to the legendary level in this world, lifespan can be increased to about 10,000 years, which is dozens of times that of Teyvat. Even a ninth-ring powerhouse has a lifespan of about 1,000 years.

This should be the normal lifespan of a powerhouse at this level; judging from Teyvat's situation, it has been greatly suppressed.

However, Yunxiu still did not bring her disciples over. Most of her children were related to her by blood, while she herself was a true Descendant. Most of her disciples were born to Teyvat herself. Although they had retrieved their Destiny Stars, they had not surpassed them. If they were to break through in another world rashly, there might be other problems.

This is also the backup plan left by Yunxiu. Now, this small world, if expanded further using a demiplane, can easily accommodate one or two hundred million people. In critical moments, the Seed Project can be executed to take away the most crucial group of people from Teyvat.

"Speaking of which, among our children, is there anyone who can take over the business of the Chamber of Commerce in the future?" On the second day of the family reunion, Yunxiu and Yanfei had been busy with the practical matters of the upcoming meeting all day, and they simply stayed at the Chamber of Commerce that night. This kind of busy work made him feel miserable, but it had to be done every year, so he could only ask helplessly, "If they are interested, we can cultivate them. It will really save a lot of effort in the future. Zhilin's matter should be pushed down soon. She is about to reach the critical period of breaking through to the peak of the family."

It's not strange to live here. Yanfei's office is quite large. Not to mention two people, Yunxiu has personally tested it, and three or four people can live here without any problem.

"Hmm... If you're really looking for someone at Tianxuan's level, no one does. But if it's just about getting the Chamber of Commerce running smoothly, Anning and Pingchen might be able to manage." Yan Fei lay on the bed, squinting her eyes and enjoying Yunxiu's massage. Then she coughed and said somewhat helplessly, "This kind of thing is no less difficult than cultivation. Pingchen's talent as a mechanical engineer is also very strong. He might not be willing. Perhaps we can only see how Anning is."

"An Ning has this talent? I thought she really enjoyed cultivation; every time she came to ask me questions about cultivation..."

“An Ning is the top student in Practical Mathematics at the Imperial Academy. Didn’t you attend the parent-teacher conference last time?”

"I had barely sat down at the parent-teacher conference when I was pulled up on stage to share my parenting experience..."

Chapter 474 Immortals Gather and the Source of Dao Emerges

Yan Fei rolled her eyes. This was actually quite normal.

Yunxiu is, after all, a genuine demigod-level powerhouse. There aren't many like him in the entire Teyvat. Although the Imperial Academy is full of hidden talents, with many powerful and lesser experts, it's rare to find someone as strong as Yunxiu who is also willing to offer guidance. Moreover, none of them feel any pressure when facing Yunxiu.

After all, this real person had been working as a waiter and cook with Xiangling at Wanmintang since he was four or five years old. Most of the old diners in the Chihuyan and Yangang districts knew this son of Tianshu Star. Many people even regarded him as a child. Although the child did become stronger and stronger and even became an immortal, wasn't he still a child?

So whenever Yunxiu comes to attend parent-teacher meetings or handle various matters for his child, he often encounters all sorts of requests for guidance and speeches, which he usually agrees to.

“An Ning actually has this talent… then we can nurture her. Let’s take her to the meeting tomorrow.” Yun Xiu stroked his chin, took out his spiritual terminal and sent a message to Xiang Ling, asking her to bring An Ning to the meeting with him tomorrow. Then he lay down on the bed and hugged Yan Fei: “Let’s have the meeting tomorrow then. Go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow.”

"It's no use you getting up. When have you ever not slept?" Yan Fei said sarcastically. "You should sleep less for tomorrow's meeting. This meeting is extremely important."

"Good good..."

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

"Wake up, you can get up and sign now..." Yan Fei poked Yun Xiu's waist, then pulled out a tissue to wipe his drool before saying, "Remember, next year's host country is Nata's turn in order..."

"...The new year's quotas have been finalized, with slight adjustments compared to last year. Currently, it's: Liyue 23.5%, Inazuma 19.5%, Mondstadt 13.0%, Sumeru 12.8%, Nata 12.5%, Fontaine 9.5%, and Winter 9.2%..." This year's representative of the Spirit Realm's ruling kingdom, Fontaine, the legendary peak swordswoman Chlorind, began. She had hardly changed since ten years ago, only her strength had increased significantly. According to the rules, each year a ruling kingdom handles the minutiae and is responsible for convening meetings, so this year's meeting was also held at Momang Palace.

"The voting for next year's host country will now begin. The twenty-seven administrators may vote."

This vote is basically just for show. Everyone has already discussed it privately, but the vote still has to be cast. After all, the rules must be followed, and since it was Yunxiu who set them, he naturally has to abide by them.

The vote was quickly completed, passing with 25 votes in favor and 2 abstentions. The administrator structure has also changed somewhat: Liyue still has 6 votes, Inazuma has 5 votes, Mondstadt and Sumeru both have 4 votes, Winterfell and Natasha both have 3 votes, and Fontaine has 2 votes.
