I'm in the Teyvat running group

“Miss Zhiqiong, I promise I will help you unconditionally once in the future, but not this time.” Yunxiu shrugged. “Besides, your body hasn’t recovered yet.”

"Xiuxiu..." Xiangling grabbed Yunxiu's arm and asked with concern, "Are you sure there won't be any problems? Won't we encounter the same thing as before in Mondstadt?"

"Don't worry." Yunxiu ruffled Xiangling's hair and said seriously, "I will contact the Emperor. You can rest assured that the Emperor will come with me, right?"

"You're not lying to me?"

"Of course, I would never lie to you."

“Okay…” Xiangling remained seated with some worry. She wore a simple rice crust sleeping cap with her pretty short blue hair. After sitting on the edge of the bed, her two little feet peeked out from her fluffy slippers, revealing ten beautiful toes. Even though Yunxiu had already played a match that night, he felt a little thirsty.

"Then we'll set off for Wangshu Inn tomorrow morning to wait for you." Xiangling counted on her fingers, then suddenly remembered something and said, "There's a chef at Wangshu Inn who's quite skilled. I'll ask him for a few tips and cook them for you, Xiuxiu. Make sure you come back safely."

“Then I’ll trouble you to take care of Paimon.” Ying also stepped forward: “I’ll go with Yunxiu tomorrow.”

"Me too! Me too!" Tsukihime, having regained her energy, stepped forward and said, "I know who you're looking for at Wangshu Inn! I've met that guardian yaksha before, and his story is even drawn in our Inazuma manga!"

Who should bear the copyright fees for Xiao? Wangshu Inn? That wouldn't explain why Wangshu Inn is so accommodating to Xiao's daily life; after all, Xiao might actually be the one who sells the most copyrights among the immortals…

Wait a minute... why are my thoughts starting to turn into Tsukihime's too...?

Yunxiu sighed and went back to her room with Xiangling to continue sleeping.

To be honest, after these past few days, Yunxiu has basically figured out Tsukihime's temperament. Simply put, Tsukihime isn't really bad. Strictly speaking, she's more like a larger version of Klee—but it's obvious that the Inazuma group's childcare skills are not as good as the Knights of Mondstadt.

You could say she's not abstract, since she was willing to join the Seven Stars or the Fatui for popularity. But you could also say she's abstract, since she fulfilled her promise to the Empress before leaving, and even endured the Fatui's control before leaving. She only found out Maruto Ima's retirement when she returned to Inazuma—otherwise, given her personality, she might have brought people to her door demanding more updates.

Yunxiu could probably guess why she had this personality. Although she didn't know why Raiden Shin created Tsukihime, it was probably because Inazuma faced too much pressure from the Dark Sea and needed enough high-end combat power.

After being created, Shin, as the God of Thunder, actually had no time to take care of the child, while Kage knew nothing but fighting. Although, as Tsukihime's aunt, it was obvious that she had honed Tsukihime's martial arts to an extremely high level, showing that her teaching ability was quite good...

So the two sisters most likely sent Tsukihime to Kosai-no-miya to be raised by him. Judging from her age, she is basically of the same generation as Asase Hibiki and Yae no Miko. But then another problem arises: judging from Yae no Miko and Asase Hibiki's personalities, Kosai-no-miya is not very good at taking care of children!

Although the Inazuma calamity was certainly not as severe in this timeline, and most of them probably survived, lifespan itself is another issue. Kirigiri Takane and Asase Hibiki have most likely already passed away.

The family of Raiden Tsukihime consists of her not-so-kind older sister, Yae no Miko; her aunt, Raiden, who only knows how to fight; her gentle but not-so-serious foster mother, Kitsune no Sōkyū; and Raiden Shin, who is always too busy to help.

A child raised in a warm family environment with several older children and an offline mother is bound to have a personality like a larger version of Klee.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Tsukihime, who is able to keep track of Inazuma's various situations, is quite reliable on important matters, and can even remember all sorts of information she occasionally hears, and understands even the stories derived from the manga clearly, is already a relatively refined and unconventional child in the Raiden family.

At least if she were Thor, pursuing eternity by going straight to the closed country would definitely not be enough—she would still have to regularly buy weekly comics and light novels every Monday!

This pretty girl is so easy to get along with; she'll listen to you as long as you sweet-talk her a bit. The only problem is that she complains about how quickly she runs out of energy and that she needs to find Seno to replenish it...

Early the next morning, Yunxiu took Ying and Yueji and flew directly to Wangshu Inn. With his new staff, Yunxiu's flying speed was already extremely fast, especially since he also had the Thousand Wind Feathers Poem, a divine artifact that could directly double his movement speed.

Yue Ji transformed into a bolt of lightning and easily rushed towards Wangshu Inn. She even stopped in mid-air to wait for Yun Xiu to fly over. It should be noted that Yun Xiu, with the addition of flight magic, her staff, and her artifact, now moves at a speed exceeding 120 meters per second. This shows just how terrifying Yue Ji's speed is...

As for Ying, although she has the slowest flight speed, she can use anchor points, so in terms of pure movement speed, she is actually the fastest among them.

Half an hour later, when Yueji and Yunxiu landed on the rooftop platform of Wangshu Inn, Ying was already talking with a short immortal wearing a mask and surrounded by a strange and malevolent aura.

Looking at Xiao and the He Pu Yuan he was carrying, Yunxiu suddenly became curious. Instead of asking about their conversation, he poked Yueji with his finger and quietly asked, "By the way, you two should hold similar positions in your own countries. Which of you is stronger?"

"How would I know if I haven't fought them?" Tsukihime shrugged, then seemed to remember something and said, "But my aunt told me that none of the five great demons are weak. Although there are only two left now, each of them is an outstanding figure even among immortals, far surpassing the abilities of ordinary demon gods' followers."

"That means we can't beat them."

"Am I not an outstanding individual?" Yue Ji slapped Yun Xiu on the back, making her stagger. "I perfectly inherited my aunt's martial arts! Don't be fooled by that foxy Yae no Miko's constant mischief; she's no match for me!"

Yunxiu and Yueji were bickering when they saw Xiao and Ying walk in together. The usually cold Yaksha even had a slight smile on his face and said, "Welcome to Inazuma's envoys in Liyue. I know the purpose of your visit. The Emperor is aware of this matter and will first go to the Lava Abyss to investigate. You can wait for him at the Dragon Tree behind the Southern Gate."

"Is the Great Sage coming along?" Although she could probably guess the answer, Yunxiu still wanted to ask, since judging from Yueji's reaction, Xiao was probably stronger than her.

Ever since Mondstadt discovered that the world was even more teeming with strange people than it had imagined, Yunxiu has been focused on survival and calling for backup...

“There have been unusual disturbances from monsters in Dihuazhou recently, so I need to stay here.”

It's a pity that Xiao can't go with us, but protecting Dihua Island is indeed a very important thing. However, Xiao seems to have gained a bit more popularity than in the original timeline, which was only achieved later in the original storyline through the interactions between Ying and the others.

Could it be because one more Yaksha survived? Considering that only two survived, it's highly likely that either Indah or Fushe survived, since Minu and Vanan died in a duel. If they had survived, they should have survived together.

After bidding farewell to Xiao and leaving Wangshu Inn, the group followed Cuijue Slope into Tianqiu Valley. They only rested twice, and by evening, Yunxiu and the others had already reached the vicinity of the ruins of Tianqiu Valley. As long as they passed through the South Heavenly Gate the next morning, they would soon reach the foot of the Fulong Tree.

In fact, when Yunxiu arrived here, she could already vaguely see the huge Fulong Tree!

Chapter 71 Without Thoughts, the True Mind Awakens (First Update Today)

"It's huge!"

Yunxiu couldn't help but marvel at how enormous this Crouching Dragon Tree was, even more terrifying than the one in the game, and it was even vaguely comparable to the great tree in Mondstadt's Windrise.

Actually, this is not surprising. If you are a veteran Genshin Impact player, you probably know that there is a place called Fu'ao Valley in the Laminaria. The "Ao" in Fu'ao Valley is one of the prototypes of Ruoduo.

You might not recognize the character "鳌" (áo), but if you put it into the idiom "独占鳌头" (dú zhàn áo tóu), it's a completely different story.

Why Ao? Because in ancient Chinese culture, this creature is considered auspicious among auspicious beasts. Even the steps of the imperial palace were supported by Ao, and the top scholar in the imperial examination would stand at the bottom of the steps, facing the head of Ao or even standing on it.

Therefore, the Naga King Ratna is such a product. Whether in reality or in stories, his enormous size and auspicious attributes are beyond doubt.

Once you've been to Fu'ao Valley, you'll find that, as seen on the map, even compared to the enormous Layered Rock Abyss, Fu'ao Valley is a significant gap...

Therefore, its tail was also quite terrifying; at least in Yunxiu's eyes, it was undoubtedly a kilometer long.

Because they could use anchor points, Yingmei returned directly to Wangshu Inn, while Yunxiu and Yueji naturally stayed behind.

Yunxiu pondered the spell for a long time without any clue, while Yueji quietly read comics and ate Liyue's specialty snack, a large pancake.

Even the refreshing black tea was brewed on a special small stove...

Tsukihime, quietly reading manga, is indeed a very typical Inazuma beauty, especially under the moonlight, she is almost the perfect two-dimensional beautiful girl image in Yunxiu's mind, the only pity is that she has a mouth.

Yunxiu leaned over to take a look; today's reading was volume 146 of "The Case Files of the Ronin Detective".

"Hmm?" Noticing Yunxiu looking at the comic book in her hand, Yueji handed her a large pancake and said earnestly, "Want to try it together? Xiangling's pancake is really delicious."

"Have you ever thought about this? You've only known Xiangling for less than seventeen days, while I've known her for seventeen years..." But Yunxiu still accepted the large pancake. As Xiangling's personal taste tester since childhood, this large pancake was something he had only managed to make after tasting countless failed attempts...

I must say, paired with Qiaoyingzhuang's specialty black tea, it really is a perfect snack for reading comics. Especially since Xiangling made it extra chewy, leaving almost no residue after eating.

"Actually, I have some questions for you." Yunxiu sat down and thought for a moment before asking seriously, "How did you manage to make your martial arts skills attack targets autonomously? I tried using methods like identifying good and evil and distinguishing friend from foe, but none of them worked. I still have to use a full-coverage method to solve the problem, which takes a lot of energy out of me."

Yunxiu was talking about the analysis and improvement of the [Spell Nullification Barrier]. In terms of analysis alone, he had almost finished analyzing it, and even the protection against good and evil and spell countermeasures had been analyzed. However, after he developed his new spell, which he temporarily named [Automatic Spell Counterattack], he found that it could not achieve a similar effect at all.

The problem is that many monsters in Teyvat seem to lack a concept of "good and evil" when attacking and fighting!

Therefore, in terms of counterattacks, one must either counterattack completely or not counterattack at all. So even with the improved [Automatic Counterattack with Spells], Yunxiu will actually become a complete hedgehog, only usable when deep behind enemy lines.

But Yunxiu clearly remembered that Yueji's automatic counterattack had not startled a single bird, not even herself, Zhiqiong in her arms, or the surrounding sparrows!

"How do we define whether an enemy is good or evil? Is it order or the abyss?" Looking at Yueji's puzzled eyes, Yunxiu expressed her doubts: "I can't figure this out no matter what. It seems that it is very difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends, so the development of new spells is also hindered."

"This," Tsukihime snapped the book shut and said seriously, "Isn't the key to defining it 'wish'?"

"desire?"

In Genshin Impact, there is indeed a saying that "a strong desire will attract the gaze of the gods." However, the problem with this saying is that, by this standard, characters like Zhiqiang and Jiede should also be able to obtain Visions, but they haven't. If you're going to say that obtaining Visions has nothing to do with these ordinary people, then I, Lana the Apprentice Ranger, have something to say…

Therefore, Yunxiu has always been quite skeptical about the principle behind this 'wish', because theoretically speaking, the power of the Thunder-attribute Eye of God and the Heart of God are actually unrelated to Thunder Movies. In other words, the source of power in Thunder Movies is unrelated to the Eye of God/Heart of God system.

“Yes.” Tsukihime said seriously, “My aunt told me that if you want to hone an invincible martial art, the power of ‘wishes’ is the most important, and the judgment of ‘Evil Radiance Eye’ is the power of wishes.”

"Is it the 'wish' of the Eye of God?" Yunxiu asked, puzzled. "The so-called Eye of God is a product born from wishes. Is it the same thing?"

Yunxiu clearly remembered that in the original storyline, the final battle between Lei Yingdian and the Traveler was when Ying gathered the power of wishes and ultimately suppressed General Leidian, at least in terms of the power of wishes, thus creating an opportunity for her to talk to her and demonstrate her abilities, and finally persuade Lei Yingdian through her persuasive words.

Yes, persuasion, and it wasn't even a draw...

Judging from the events following the movie, where Raiden and General Raiden engage in a five-hundred-year-long battle of wits within the consciousness space, the Traveler's stamina and combat prowess are far from adequate.

“There is a big difference between the ‘wish’ of the Eye of God and the ‘wish’ as a personal martial art…” Yueji scratched her head and said with a troubled expression, “I don’t really understand what my aunt taught me, so I am far inferior to her in strength. According to my aunt, if I can reach the ultimate in ‘wish’, then it will not be difficult to reach her level.”

"I see..." Yunxiu didn't continue to make things difficult for her, but continued to ponder what General Leidian meant by those words. According to the information he knew, at the beginning of the second mission of the Legend of Leidian, Leidian had comprehended this power, which was why he sharpened the "Dream of One Mind" in his hand, changing it from "No Thought" to "Dream," thus unleashing even stronger combat power.

But judging from the current timeline, Lei's films should have already grasped the power of "dreams"...

"Oh right, I remember now!" Yueji slapped her hand, as if waking from a dream, and said, "What my aunt said was that the Eye of God is more about whether it is 'pure', while martial arts are more about 'true heart'!"

purely?

Yes, most possessors of the Eye of God are not so much powerful, but rather possess a purity in a certain key thing. After reaching the ultimate, they obtain the Eye of God. Therefore, it should be "something condensed from pure desires". And if your desire is truly pure, you don't even need to care about the Eye of God...

"The true nature of mind?" Yunxiu pondered carefully, and seeing Yueji still picking at her fingers in thought, she suddenly realized a problem: if the true nature of mind is complicated, then what's the point of this girl comprehending it!

The answer is now very clear: this "original mind" is actually a concept similar to "Taoist mind," and the so-called "definition" is very simple. When the Taoist mind is perfected, it can reflect almost all abnormal things, so defining them is naturally easy.

As for why Tsukihime was able to easily understand and apply the power of "original mind," it was simply because she was indeed a person with a firm Daoist heart, and her mind was indeed not very impure.

Lei's movie is powerful because she has reached the unbelievable realm of "perfect Dao heart" or "eternal Dao heart" found in fantasy novels. With her powerful Dao heart, she reflects all things in the ten directions of the world, thus obtaining an invincible and eternal will and eternal laws.

From this perspective, Ray the Movie did not lie to Tsukihime. Reaching this level, even if she lacked power, in the world of Teyvat, as long as one's Dao heart is undying, one's life is undying, so there would naturally be no "wear and tear".

"So that's how it is..." Yunxiu finally understood why her understanding of the product of "wishes" was so awkward. The reason was that they were not the same thing at all! In other words, it was not surprising that Jade could not obtain the Eye of God, because although she was powerful enough, her wish was not pure!

The benefit of having a strong Dao heart is that one can wield sufficiently powerful forces, and even without the Eye of God, one can still obtain incredible abilities.

"What do you mean?" Yueji asked curiously, taking out another packet of Jueyun Peppered Roasted Snail Jerky while eating and watching Yunxiu's constantly changing expression. "What do you know?"

"Hmm... I don't know how to explain it to you right now." Yunxiu thought for a while before saying, "Once I develop this spell, I can try to teach you..."

Unusually, Tsukihime didn't say much, but nodded and continued reading the comic. Yunxiu finally understood the direction of magic development.

In fact, just like the development of spatial magic, rather than figuring out how to identify enemies, what he should do is to tap into the power of his own mind and ensure that his mind can control this powerful force before casting his improved spells.

Fortunately, this was just a barrier for Yunxiu. After experiencing everything from time travel to getting a cheat code to various major events that changed the world line, she was still able to maintain an optimistic attitude, which was actually a very strong "Dao Heart".

It was precisely because of this that Yunxiu was able to successfully modify the spell in just one night. Combining the [Spell Nullification Barrier] and [Mind Stabilization] with [Spell Counter], Yunxiu developed the brand-new [Automatic Spell Counter].

[Automatic Spell Counter] 6th Ring/Protection Class:

Starting from your mind, a 20-meter radius automatic defensive mental barrier extends outwards. All spells that are hostile to you and are below the fifth ring automatically dissolve and absorb energy when they pass through the barrier, and also perform a spell counterattack on the opponent. For each ring you ascend, the level of the spells you dissolve increases by one ring, continuing until the next long rest.

Once this spell is successfully executed, Yunxiu will be able to truly unlock her "Constellation" and see how the Teyvat world transforms people into "Genshin Impact"!

Chapter 72 Lightning Rifts Through the Sky, Proving My Path (Second Update Today)

With Ying returning refreshed from the anchor point, the three embarked on their journey once more. As they were approaching the South Heavenly Gate, they began to walk faster.

But as you get closer to the center of Tianqiu Valley, you encounter more and more monsters of all shapes and sizes, especially the Rock Dragon Lizard!

These kinds of monsters, which are not usually seen, are now ridiculously numerous in Tianqiu Valley. Of course, Yunxiu is not surprised. As the pinnacle of rock dragon lizards and the end of all rock element dragons in the world, even if Ruotuo Dragon King uses a strange method to break the seal, he cannot stop the rock dragon lizards who are of the same bloodline from sensing the birth of their ancestor from their bloodline. This feeling makes them come here on instinct.

In fact, the remaining ruins here are the battlefield left behind by the great battle between the Emperor and the Dragon King Ruotu.
