I'm in the Teyvat running group

After saying that, Fukaros actually summoned several water elemental dancers to dance together!

The enormous figure of Orobas relentlessly searched for her weaknesses and opportunities to attack, but each time she was evaded by her elegant dance steps. The swirling movements of her dance steps created pure water splashes, perfectly purifying the falling black water.

Every time she dances, all sorts of water spirits are born around her. And as her dance becomes more and more graceful, even huge, dancing golden water spirits are born in her dance steps!

These water spirits purified the black water as they swayed with her dance, bringing pure water elemental power to every corner of the space.

As more and more water spirits appeared, Fukaros began to sing a song in the Fontaine language. Her beautiful voice sang out, even causing the huge dragon-shaped phantom to pause for a moment!

"Ah, if only it could turn into water and return to its original path~"

"This is 'Light Ripples'!" Yunxiu thought to himself. He wasn't fluent in Fontainebleau, but that didn't stop him from recognizing the piece in an instant.

As Fukaros's dance steps flowed, the dense musical runes and water spirits began to dance together. Although Aurobas's movements became more and more violent, his attacks became more and more powerful, and he even summoned a large number of monsters to attack together.

But none of this had any effect on the dancer who was weaving through attacks and monsters!

The powerful attack was neutralized by her gentle dance steps.

Despite the onslaught of numerous monsters, they could not keep up with her nimble steps.

With the graceful movements of a swan, she swiftly flashed past one energy attack after another, bringing forth a series of runes and water spirits.

"Act Two is beginning!"

The voice suddenly changed, switching to Funina's cheerful voice. Two strange bubbles appeared at her feet, and Funina began to circle around Orobas, spewing bubbles.

After the bubbles completely covered the enormous demonic avatar, Funina did not attack. Instead, she landed on the spot and continued singing "Light Ripples" with her backup dancers.

The giant beast struggled incessantly, unleashing all sorts of enormous energy attacks from the bubbles, but these were easily neutralized by Fufu, who sang and danced casually.

A series of musical halos, like ripples on water, spread out from her body, encircling Orobas like real musical staves, binding him and Bubble tightly together!

The entire space was filled with joy, as almost all the black water was completely purified!

"The final act, my solo dance~"

The space fell silent instantly, and Funina began her solo dance.

Slow and elegant, yet it resonated with the water elements throughout the space. A massive amount of water spirits danced the same steps as her, and the bubbles and water rings on Orobas's body also pulsated and changed with the rhythm of the dance. Each segment of the rhythm stirred up a strange resonance within this demon god's energy avatar.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

The strange sound emanated from him, but it didn't attract any attention from Funina. She continued singing and dancing as if she were performing for a huge audience.

Until the last dance step around the arena was completed, the enormous water spirits and runes rushed towards Orobas's body one after another!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

As the mist dissipated, Funina stood quietly atop Orobas's head.

"Did it fail?" Paimon couldn't help but ask. "The phantom of Orobas is still there."

“No,” Yunxiu said with a smile, “she is taking her final bow.”

Funina took off her hat, placed one hand on her chest, and struck an extremely elegant pose. Her jade-like neck shone with a warm glow, truly resembling an elegant swan.

Beneath her feet, a crack suddenly appeared on the top of the enormous Orobas, which then slowly shattered, disintegrated, and turned into water droplets, disappearing directly from the spot, leaving only a strange key.

That is the key to enter the very top of the Great Sun Palace.

Chapter 133 The Sinner and the Legendary Kitchen Utensils (Third update on Monday!)

Gently picking up the key from the ground, Funina stood still and waved.

Seeing that the area had been completely purified, Yunxiu and the others jumped down.

“It’s rare to see a show with such a small audience.” Fufu smiled as she watched Yunxiu and the others approach. “But defeating him was a little easier than I thought.”

"Are you Fucarus or Frinina now?" Yunxiu asked curiously. "The dance styles of the two acts are almost completely different, yet they are harmoniously unified. Do you really need to find a way to switch your 'personality'?"

"Hey, don't pry into the privacy of big stars!" Funina said, hands on her hips, feigning anger. "Fontaine's laws against privacy violations are very strict!"

"Yes, then I beg Miss Funina to have mercy and spare my life."

"Hmph, let's see how you perform then."

While joking around, the group walked to the other side of the door, inserted the key, and the entire room suddenly rose up.

After ascending to the final platform, they entered a triangular room. After inserting the key again, the door opened, and finally, a huge energy source appeared in front of Yunxiu and the others.

If the real sun is too bright to look directly at, then the light from the "sun" of the Great Sun Palace is surprisingly gentle and quite comfortable. Even though it contains enormous energy and is almost solidifying nearby, it is still as warm and soft as cotton.

Directly below the massive energy source was a figure whose face was no longer visible. It had been almost completely consumed by the energy, yet it still maintained a humanoid form.

"Abe Ryukyu..."

"Yes, I am Abe no Yoshihisa..." A strange aura emanated from the figure: "You have passed my final trial..."

“We’re here to find something left behind by a blond traveler,” Ying said, stepping forward. “Could you give it to me?”

"Can……"

With a gentle wave of his hand, the figure placed a strange object in Ying's hand. Ying looked at it, chuckled softly, and then put it away.

Yunxiu glanced at it briefly; it seemed to be a photo album, so she didn't ask any further questions. It was probably photos taken by Gemini while they were wandering through the starry sky.

Just as she was about to ask, the figure flashed and looked at Yunxiu, asking, "You bear the aura of the 'Tears of the Goddess of White Night'..."

“If you’re talking about that one, then I have indeed seen it once.” Yunxiu thought for a moment and decided to tell Abe Ryoku the truth: “But it will be difficult for me to obtain that treasure in a short time.”

"We must get it..."

"Got it?"

"Once you have it... come here, and I'll tell you the location of the 'Goddess's Book'..."

Is that so...?

Why did you come here?

"I have merged with Helios and cannot leave..." The figure flickered slightly, as if there was something difficult to say. After several fluctuations, he continued, "The combination of the four treasures can open the door to another world..."

I've heard that unions in March can open the gates to another world...

Yunxiu certainly believed this, because even from a technological perspective, when March existed, the Dragon Clan's space elevator and space station still existed—namely, the Ochikanata and the Sky Serpent Ship.

In March, three satellites created by the Dragon Clan revolve around the space elevator, which is essentially the gateway to another world.

As for the four treasures being able to be combined to open the gate, Yunxiu naturally believed it. The Three Treasures Mill mainly provides energy, and from her current understanding, the teardrop, which is the tear of the Goddess of White Night, mainly serves a transformative function.

If the doll is indeed related to Tsukihime, then the doll is most likely involved in the evolution of matter. Although we don't know what the book is, it might represent coordinates.

With all four items combined, Yunxiu believed that not only could they open the door to another world, but they could also directly enter the goddess's divine kingdom.

"I'll think of a way..." Yunxiu thought for a moment and decided to agree. After all, he would definitely have to go back to Yuanxia Palace after solving the problem of umbilical cord blood, and he should be able to bring that artifact back then.

“Thank you…” The figure seemed to emanate a wave of relief. He remained silent for a long time before continuing, “I am a sinner of the White Night Kingdom… Helios brought warmth, but also ugliness and calamity…”

"Any product or technology is innocent in its invention; the key is who uses it..."

"Is that so... You'll understand later..."

Abe's illusory figure fell silent for a long time, and never spoke again.

Yunxiu also fell silent. At least based on the information he had now, he was indeed not qualified to lecture Abe for a long time, since he still didn't understand what these things were all about.

The group searched the surrounding area again, but found nothing extra, so they left.

Watching the figures of the group leave, Abe's illusory image flickered for a moment, then he stood in a different direction, as if he had remembered something.

"Not every technology...is innocent..."

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

The matter of arriving at Yuanxia Palace has been basically completed, and I have obtained what I wanted.

Yunxiu and the others didn't linger there. Instead, they took out their pack animals, mounted them, and headed towards the gate.

In terms of sheer gains, this trip was quite fruitful. They obtained information left behind by their past selves, found the key to several artifacts, and even managed to meet Ying with her brother and receive a gift.

Having discovered the existence of the timeline and understood the next steps, Yunxiu was quite satisfied.

Therefore, the group did not waste any time and headed north. Three days later, they arrived at the gate of Yuanxia Palace. After contacting Xin Hai through the communication method there, several shrine maidens came down and led them into the Coral Palace Shrine above Yuanxia Palace through a strange array.

Neither Coral Palace Heart Sea nor Goro, the two leaders, were present. Several priestesses from Umijima Island received them, but Yunxiu did not stay long. After a short rest for one night, she went to Narukami Island the next day.

On the third day at noon, the group was already eating at the restaurant run by the guild.

"Miss Xiangling, did you make all this?" Looking at the dishes of Inatsume prepared by Xiangling, Ayaka Kamisato exclaimed in surprise, "Your skill is far superior to that of the head chef of the company!"

"Miss Karin quickly won the cooking competition in Inazuma, and yesterday she even received an audience with Lord Raijin," Ayato Kamisato said with a smile. "Lord Raijin also bestowed upon her a treasure and a title, so Miss Karin is now Inazuma's 'Number One Divine Chef.'"

"Hehe...because cooking is really fun!" Xiangling said happily, "Especially since Xiuxiu is back today, I definitely have to cook more!"

“I’ve recently… modified a lot of pack beasts…” Sugar reached out her little hand and gently tugged at Yunxiu’s sleeve: “I can evolve ‘Prototype No. 29’ again…”

"No rush, take your time." Yunxiu patted Sugar's head and looked at Xiangling, who had sat down to eat, and asked curiously, "What treasure did the Thunder God bestow upon you?"

"This is it!" Xiangling pulled out a strange-looking kitchen knife and tossed it to Yunxiu.

Yunxiu took it and saw that it was actually a legendary kitchen knife!

Seriously, it's a legendary kitchen knife!

[Dreams Realized]: It is both a testament to Lei's culinary skills being honed (and destroyed) in the "Pure Land of the Heart," and an alternative manifestation of her unparalleled martial arts prowess...

Rank (Legendary): Strength +6, All Attributes +2

characteristic:

[Thunder Preservation]: Any food treated with this knife will retain its freshness from the moment it was cut and will never spoil.

[Deconstructing All Things]: This sword ignores the hardness of all non-divine objects. After undergoing a DC28 strength check, it can dissect and attack divine objects.

[Cleaver of Destiny]: When using this cleaver, you must make a Luck saving throw of DC20 in your culinary skill. If the throw is successful and you gain +5 or more, your culinary skill-related judgments will receive a small increase of +1; if the increase is less than +5, the judgments will remain unchanged; if the throw fails, your judgments will receive a decrease of 30.

[Unthinking Slice]: You can unleash a slash that evenly slices all objects (including equipment, creatures, and buildings) of Legendary rank or lower within 50 meters in front of you into 50mm long and 3mm diameter filaments.

"Damn it..." Yunxiu's teeth ached. If you said this artifact wasn't powerful, that would be nonsense, but if you said it was very powerful, that would be completely outrageous.

Only Xiangling can use this knife; everyone else would probably be killed by it!

Xiangling's luck reached 26 points after she reached the fifth ring, which was already a +8 correction value. The Demon God's Familiar gave her a guaranteed 4 points, and her cooking proficiency value was as high as 8 points!

This means that Xiangling herself can score at least 20 points during the appraisal, so at least she can use the kitchen knife normally.
