I'm in the Teyvat running group

This giant mushroom is called Zammaran. Its home is Sumeru. In the original timeline, the pollution of the Abyss of Layered Rocks was extremely severe, and the filth made it suffer terribly.

However, it seems that the pollution of the Abyss of Layered Rocks is not so terrifying in this life. Moreover, Fushe and Boyang, who should have been buried at the bottom of the abyss, have successfully escaped. At least up to this point, the black mud overflowing from the abyss has been within an acceptable range, and only two or three patches have been cleaned up.

The fact that he didn't suffer too much pain allowed him to provide more information. According to Yunxiu's understanding, this 'mushroom' most likely possessed an item that could solve the problem of the grass dragon Apep, namely that "fire seed".

Apep is the only one of the original seven dragon kings to survive, but his cooperation with the Red King Ahmar has tainted him with forbidden knowledge. Now, Ahmar and the Flower Goddess Marikata have both perished, and only Apep still struggles to survive in the world.

According to the setting, the Fire Seed can combine with the Heart of the Oasis, thereby fully activating the Grass Dragon King Apep.

The Grass Dragon King is currently using pain to fight against "forbidden knowledge," and only the combination of the Fire Seed and the Heart of the Oasis can purify everything and solve this problem.

The only problem is that he might not be able to gain the mushroom beast's approval, but Yunxiu has a solution. He can simply learn the fourth-circle spell [Otiluciculum Field Sphere] to completely seal it up, put it in his storage bag, and then have his father, the Emperor, hand it over to the Grass God. However, in this timeline, the Tree God might still exist...

They grabbed Tsukihime, who was still pondering how to dig off a piece of the mushroom, and the two of them quickly rushed through the fluorescent passage and entered the final narrow path.

After flying for dozens of kilometers through a narrow path with almost nothing in it, Yunxiu finally entered the last huge space—although she had not yet seen the artifact that could be called a celestial nail, Yunxiu could already feel the atmosphere in the air.

Unlike the purification of the Abyss, which almost completely transforms it into energy devoid of any attributes, the suppression of the Heavenly Nail is actually a form of "repression" and "forced transformation," which results in the Abyss's power being equally suppressed.

Yes, even the abyss can be oppressive!

The pervasive aura formed patches of black mud here, while Yunxiu activated a wide-range detection spell to search for that glimmer of grass elemental light.

Finally, after flying over a dozen strange "black mud" formations, he found a place that seemed to exist. Thanks to his extraordinary intelligence in spell learning, he had quickly mastered the Force Field spell, which was only a fourth-circle spell after all.

“This is it.” Yunxiu pointed to the ground and said to Yueji, “Use your lightning combined with Luminite to clean and activate this place, but don’t affect the creatures inside too much. Just activate it.”

"Oh?" Although she didn't know what Yunxiu was going to do, Yueji still waved her hand casually. Under her exquisite control, the lightning elemental energy, combined with the Luminite, cleared a clean patch of ground, revealing a strangely shaped and incredibly huge mushroom beast in the center. Yueji couldn't help but marvel, "What is this thing? Why does it feel like there's a huge amount of grass elemental energy inside?"

“I know… but I really can’t say it…” Yunxiu still activated the [Contract of All Things] and communicated with the mushroom beast.

"Are you... an envoy sent by the Tree King?" The mushroom beast emitted a strange energy fluctuation, but then, as if sensing something, its voice carried a hint of surprise as it said, "It's you... going to the bottom of the abyss... to the bottom of the abyss..."

"It's me? I've never seen you before!" Yunxiu said in surprise, but when he wanted to ask more, the mushroom beast had already shut up and simply nodded slightly to him, as if it was expecting something.

"Why do I have to go to the bottom of the abyss? What can I possibly know?" Yunxiu continued to ask. After seeing the mushroom beast nod again, he knew that the mushroom beast could no longer say anything.

He opened his storage bag, flicked his finger to launch a force field sphere, sealed the mushroom beast inside, placed it in the storage bag, and transmitted the last trace of energy: "I will find a way to take you to the Tree King as soon as possible."

“Okay…” The mushroom beast did not respond again, seemingly falling asleep once more.

Seeing Yueji's bewildered expression, Yunxiu could only shrug and explain. Although Yueji didn't know many details, as the daughter of Raiden, she naturally knew about the love-hate entanglement and events between the Crimson King, the Flower Goddess, and the Grass Goddess. She quickly understood the circumstances under which this mushroom beast was born...

"If that's the case, I can ask my mother to help you contact the Tree King," Yue Ji said confidently. "The two of them are very close!"

I reckon the Emperor and the Tree King have a good relationship...

But why did the mushroom beast say it was me? And why did it send me to the bottom of the abyss?

If I remember correctly, there's a place at the bottom of the abyss where time and space are chaotic, and maybe I really can see some information about my past. But escaping is already very difficult in the original work, so perhaps I can assume that the Emperor will save me like Xiao did...

Yunxiu touched the Hundred Taboos Talisman and the Dragon Scale Staff. With the Thunder God's daughter by his side, he wasn't actually too worried about not being able to get up. Since the Emperor could save him, he would only be trapped for a few days at most.

So after thinking it over carefully, Yunxiu decided to take the gamble. After all, it would take Yelan and the others a few more days to come down. She had scouted the area and found that there were only a few powerful Fools here for the time being. She and Yueji only needed to kill the leaders and then set up a magic circle at the entrance.

She shared her thoughts with Tsukihime, who had no objections and was eager to try it out. This trip to Liyue had finally propelled her "original heart" martial arts skills forward significantly, and she was planning to rack up some battle records to cross that final hurdle.

While it's true that demon gods' familiars can greatly enhance their strength through divine blessings, the number of blessings is limited. Currently, only Kitsui-no-miya has received a blessing from Inazuma, so even Yae no Miko's strength is not as great as it was in the original work.

The main reason is that the current Thunder God's Familiar is Fox Maiden, and Yae no Miko can only rely on her own strength, which is why her direct combat power is actually inferior to Tsukihime's.

Of course, according to Yunxiu's calculations, even so, Yae no Shinji is most likely a ninth-ring level archmage, but compared to Yueji who has gone even further, Yae no Shinji is far inferior.

Once Tsukihime crosses the threshold of "true heart" and truly comprehends the perfect Dao heart, although it certainly cannot compare to the eternal Dao heart of the Lei movie, it is more than enough to cross the threshold of legend.

As for Yunxiu himself, the progress of the "Seat of Inheritance" is going relatively smoothly. Although it has only been a few days, thanks to the support of the Seven Stars and the Immortal Group, his Destiny Seat has already been covered with a dense array of colorful light spots. It seems that more than 10,000 people learned Elemental Barrier on the first day, most likely due to its promotion within the Thousand Rock Army.

When Yunxiu looked at the fourth constellation, she discovered that the requirements for the "Resonance Constellation" actually involved ley lines and elemental energy!

Activating the fourth constellation requires Yunxiu to discover the key nodes of the ley lines and develop a specialty that can utilize elemental energy or ley lines, which is similar to the product of Raiden Tsukihime's "Blessing of Awakening".

The Blessing of Awakening was most likely taught to Tsukihime by Kitsune-no-Miya or Raiden Shin. Each point of elemental energy increases damage by 0.04%. Of course, unless you drain all your elemental energy in one go like Tsukihime, it's unlikely that you'll be completely overwhelmed after landing a single attack...

"Tears of Return to the Ruins!"

"-103252! -71573! -78026!"

After unleashing three spells directly at the last squad of the Fools, easily annihilating them, Yunxiu had cleared out all the Fools who had flown towards him.

As he flew to the side of the "Heavenly Nail," he saw lightning flashing on the other side, and monsters that could be seen with the naked eye turned to ashes. Soon, Tsukihime also arrived there.

"I cleared 18, how about you?" Yueji ran over excitedly, looking at Yunxiu's face and said, "You can't have fewer than me, can you? If you do, you'll lose~"

“12… that’s a bit too few.” Yunxiu said helplessly, “I don’t know why the Fools all went over there.”

"Then you lost, but you can't forget the bet!" She was as happy as a little girl who had received candy: "I want that dress, and oh, and also, you absolutely have to find someone to make some doll merchandise for you~"

“The suppressive power of the Heavenly Nail, the eerie distortion of the Abyss, the ruins of the ancient kingdom, the Taiwei Instrument of the Immortals…” Yunxiu murmured, “and the mushroom beast that compelled me to come here.”

He smiled as he looked at Tsukihime, who was pointing and gesturing: "Isn't this not over yet? After we rest, we still need to go in and take a look."

Chapter 86 Night Talk in the Camp Leads to Dreams (Second Update on the Fourth Day!)

Overnight, we traversed hundreds of kilometers to reach the bottom of the abyss, experiencing two rather uncomfortable drops along the way.

Even with their formidable strength, Yunxiu was indeed getting tired. She took out a portable pot and some fuel from her storage bag, snapped her fingers to create a spark, placed the pot on the rack, and began cooking the dry rations that Xiangling had prepared for her.

Pour in the base sauce made with Sichuan peppercorns, mushrooms, and butter, then cast a water-generating spell to cover the bottom of the pot.

After the water boils, add bamboo shoots, ham slices, green vegetables, onions, and a pre-cut, deboned, chilled black-backed bass, then cover with a lid.

Then I took out a portable pot, put in rice and water, placed two chopped tomatoes on top of the rice, cracked an egg, and started steaming the rice.

Soon, a pot of spicy boiled blackback sea bass with added ingredients was ready. Served with tomato-flavored rice, the aroma made Tsukihime, who was watching eagerly, drool.

"I'll scoop it out! I'll scoop it out!" Seeing that Yunxiu indicated it was time to eat, Yueji took out various utensils from her storage bag.

She first served Yunxiu a large bowl of rice, then scooped up the crispy rice crust from the bottom of the pot for herself, and said happily, "I loved this kind of rice when I first came to Liyue. No matter how I cook Inazuma rice, it can never be this good."

"First time?" Yunxiu took the rice and sprinkled some chopped green onions into the pot, asking curiously, "Have you been to Liyue many times?"

"Hmm... if we don't count work, it's been two or three times." Tsukihime thought for a moment, then counted on her fingers and said, "If we count work, it's been many times. My aunt hates doing this kind of thing, and my mother is very busy, so it's usually me and my mother, Kitsui-miya, who do it together."

Lei's movies are indeed as bad as ever; I really hate going to work...

Although she didn't mind the result at all, Yunxiu was still a little speechless for Lei Yingdian, this country bumpkin, because at least from Yueji's martial arts skills, Lei Yingdian had actually comprehended the eternal Dao Heart in this life.

This was actually faster than before, which also meant that she was more powerful, but even so, she still had no intention of governing the country.

Considering the relationship between the Thunder Sisters, if the Shadow really wanted to become the God of Thunder, it should be entirely possible.

However, thinking about this, Yunxiu began to ponder the relationship between Raiden Shin and the Raiden sisters, which is actually one of the unsolved mysteries in Genshin Impact.

First of all, although they are twin demon gods, Raiden's fighting power is obviously far greater than Raiden Shin's.

Judging from her claim that she is on par with Hebrim, the god of fire who is one with the dragon, and considering that there are no other examples of twin demon gods, this is quite surprising.

Many studies have raised doubts about Lei Yingdian's combat power. Some say that Lei Yingdian might be the Thunder Dragon King, but Yunxiu herself thinks this possibility is unlikely.

The main reason is that even a fully-formed Dragon King, can he really compare to the strength of Lei Yingdong? It's hard to say, just like Zhongli's strength can suppress the Dragon King.

Based on his own speculation and related information, Lei Yingdian and Zhen could indeed be twins. If Lei Dian was the first lightning bolt to illuminate the world, then Lei Yingdian is the shadow cast by that lightning. Their own explanation is probably the most likely one...

As for the difference in strength, direct combat power doesn't represent everything. In governing a country and dealing with various disasters, Lei's powerful strength is not as effective as that of Yae no Miko, a fox spirit who is far weaker than her...

While eating, he pondered what he might discover at the bottom of the abyss. Watching Yueji devour her food, Yunxiu felt much happier.

The two of them quickly finished the large pot of fish and the large pot of rice.

After tidying up their messy belongings and washing up, they lay down on their respective beds in a rather unseemly manner.

"Phew~ I'm so full." Yueji let out a satisfied sigh, turned to look at Yunxiu and said, "Is something on your mind? You seem to have eaten less than me?"

"You noticed that too?" Yunxiu said helplessly, "I was originally planning to go down into the abyss and figure out what was going on myself."

"Of course, what's up?"

"It's like this..."

Yunxiu told Yueji about her strange conversation with the mushroom beast, but Yueji fell silent. Suddenly, she reached out and touched Yunxiu's face, saying softly, "I don't know if it's a good thing or not, but some things just happen..."

"Do you know something?" Yunxiu suddenly seemed to realize something and turned to look at Yueji: "Can you tell me?"

"I don't know either, do you believe me?" Yueji looked at Yunxiu earnestly: "Only my mother told me that you, this 'wooden mage,' might bring a slight change to our Inazuma..."

Is there even a slight chance of change...?

This answer did not surprise Yunxiu, because the two gods of wind and rock actually thought so too. Since Yueji's mission this time was to bring him to Inazuma, it was not a bad thing to tell Yueji this information.

But after Tsukihime saw herself, she must have been wondering what this variable was all along.

It's just that as he helped her "Dao Heart" grow, she trusted him more and more...

Lost in thought, Yunxiu fell asleep. Camping and resting with a beautiful girl at the bottom of the Abyss of Layered Rocks was an experience few Teyvats had ever had, but he slept soundly in this peculiar environment.

Tsukihime quietly moved her bed a little closer to Yunxiu, tossed the Mist Cutter into the air where it floated, and fell asleep.

"It's still too difficult to lie..."

A barely perceptible sound came, and only the blade of the Kirigiri vibrated slightly.

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

When I woke up, I was greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling and a girl who had somehow turned me into a body pillow.

I got up quietly, cast a water spell to wash up, and then casually started preparing breakfast. I leisurely ate a serving of ham and eggs with Liyue's specialty soy milk, and then made an extra serving.

When we were having tea after dinner, we saw Tsukihime groggily starting to wash up. I have to say, the Raiden family has some incredibly advanced dressing skills.

Even though I've seen it many times before, Yunxiu is still incredibly impressed by the magic that can be switched with a simple wave of her hand...

"I've made it for you." Yunxiu pointed to the breakfast and said to her, "Let's get ready to leave after you finish eating. I already left a message for Ying and the others at the camp."

"Well……"

Still half-asleep, Yueji ate her breakfast almost sleepwalking, only becoming more fully awake when she drank her soy milk. Yunxiu marveled at her ability to wash and eat while sleepwalking, especially considering the clothing-changing spell. It was clear that the Raiden family was quite something...

After setting up the campsite, the two headed straight for the Sky Nail. Perhaps due to exhaustion yesterday, Yunxiu hadn't properly examined what kind of product the nail was.

But as he approached it again today, he quickly discovered the unusual nature of the nail. It had an extremely serious "disharmony" with the world itself, and it was quite distorted, in addition to the "oppression" mentioned earlier.

The nail itself seems to be something that was not made of the material of this world, and it has a kind of "repulsion" from the world itself. It has just been changed by a distorted law.

This actually made Yunxiu begin to doubt some of her thoughts on the original teachings in her previous life—was it also wrong to simply reject the abyss?

Power itself is neither good nor bad; good or bad depends on the person who uses it. There are good people who use abyssal power and bad people who use elemental power.
