I'm in the Teyvat running group

"Even if you use a divine artifact to build an island out of thin air, it's still just starting from scratch. Just repairing He Guan will require a lot of troublesome effort."

Seeing Yunxiu's thoughtful expression, Yueji couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is something the matter?"

"I might have to go to Heguan..."

Yunxiu thought for a moment before slowly saying, "I have some information that may only be verified at Heguan, so I'm currently considering how to get there..."

"I see..." Tsukihime was silent for a while before speaking seriously, "I'll go with you. At least among Inazuma now, there shouldn't be many people who know more about these things than me."

"Don't Thor need you?" Yunxiu asked curiously, "Or are these days a holiday?"

“It’s a holiday… but I can go with you.” Tsukihime said shyly in a low voice, “But let’s just go, don’t drag anyone else along.”

"it is good."

"Shall we set off then?"

"I still need to prepare, let's do it first thing tomorrow morning."

As for whether or not to use the power of the magistrate to find Akagi and Sumida and have them take him there.

Yunxiu had absolutely no idea what to do.

The story of He Guan actually takes place a very long time ago, well over 500 years ago. And judging from the current storyline, the further back in time the story goes, the closer it is to the original timeline. At least, this is the case, according to a lot of information that Yunxiu has recently read.

So, He Guan knows the story, but he doesn't know many details, since it's impossible to know every little thing in a game.

But neither of them knew the details...

As for how to get there, Yunxiu wasn't too worried. With his current strength, he really wasn't afraid!

The reason is very simple: in the past few days of continuous development and honing of spells, he has already crossed the first two stages of the 'Fifth Stage of Godhood' and gained two powerful specializations.

Before going to the Abyss Palace, he had already figured out the energy levels pretty much. The intense battles in the Abyss Palace and the repair of the Shadow Furnace Core made him completely enlightened.

The second stage might be troublesome for others, but for Yunxiu, it was a leap forward.

The reason is very simple: the second stage is the stage of illusion, which mainly tempers one's Dao heart and will. In fact, it is the simplest stage among the five stages for those with strong minds.

Because most people who can master enormous energy have already crossed the threshold of the mind, this hurdle is at most just a test.

Therefore, most characters who can reach the seventh ring will quickly possess extremely strong combat power, just like Diluc. His combat power at the seventh ring level can be said to be among the top in Teyvat, and there are not many eighth ring characters who can deal with him.

Moreover, after finding new goals and directions, his advancement speed became terrifying after just a little experience, even faster than Yunxiu's at that time. This is the power of his foundation.

These two powerful ranks and specialties directly propelled Yunxiu to the eighth ring level, which also shows that Yunxiu's foundation was truly exceptional.

Yunxiu's advancement from the sixth ring to the seventh ring, which is the process of transforming into a primordial god, is arguably the most difficult in the history of Teyvat, involving gods, ley lines, the laws of nature, and the development of a large number of spells.

This means that the transformation he undergoes after advancing is far greater than that of a strong person who advances with a golden destiny seat or one or two colored destiny seats.

Yunxiu was quite satisfied with at least these two tiers of expertise.

[Energy Manipulation]: You can perfectly manipulate all elemental forces and allocate them to the most appropriate places. All your world modifiers are increased by 50%.

[Mental Barrier]: Your Dao Heart has reached a flawless state, which gives you a powerful mind and the ability to defend against strong opponents. When any enemy whose rank is no higher than four ranks above you attacks your mind, your judgment throw will default to a minimum of 12 points.

For Yunxiu, the direct effect of this correction coefficient is that his health points and the effects of all kinds of spells all increase, and his strength more than doubles!

Chapter 148 Strange Tales of the Rules of the Foggy Sea (Third update on Saturday!)

It's definitely more than double.

Because when you are 50% stronger than before in every aspect, the cumulative effect will be more than 50%.

For example, his base health is 196 points, and the correction coefficient for the 8th ring is 716, but Yunxiu's correction coefficient is 1074, which directly pushes his health to 210504 points.

Similarly, Arcane Protection also reached level 47256, and the +14 Intelligence also brought 14 layers of Arcane Protection, for a total of 661584 points of shield.

As for the spelling itself...

Yunxiu tried for a long time but could not reach the legendary level. He could only release "very powerful eighth-ring spells" at most, and even the ninth-ring spells could only be used after disassembling and re-developing them.

For example, Yunxiu spent several nights deconstructing and modifying the Prayer spell, developing the [Weakened Prayer], which is an imperfect Prayer spell.

The wishes that can be fulfilled will not exceed the limits of Yunxiu's abilities. The only advantage is that it is relatively easy to use in emergency situations.

For example, when Yunxiu is too lazy to cook, she can use the [Weakening Prayer] to request a sumptuous meal after paying the price.

However, he couldn't use magic to pull the Emperor over when he was too lazy to see him—because he lacked the ability.

However, if he thought about it differently, he could pray that "his body would automatically fly to the Emperor's location." This is feasible.

For Yunxiu herself, the main use of this spell now is to pray that she has already gone to the toilet when she is too lazy to go to the toilet in the middle of the night...

However, when she saw the third tier, Yunxiu still had a headache—the Body Tier.

This is quite troublesome for Yunxiu. As a mage, perfectly controlling his body, something only warriors can do, is still quite difficult for him.

Moreover, what exactly does this "control" refer to? First, we can rule out control over energy and the mind, and it's unlikely to be power either, as it wouldn't be very meaningful for a mage to possess power.

At least in the D&D universe, most wizards cannot transform into berserkers like Gandalf.

Although everyone's circumstances for ascending to the fifth level of divinity are slightly different from others, and the requirements are also different for each person, the only difference is the level itself.

But whether in the Teyvat world or the D&D world, a mage's advancement mainly focuses on elements and spells.

"Let's figure it out slowly when we're on an adventure..."

Yunxiu stopped thinking about the problem for the time being. For him, spending the night with Xiangling before setting off was the most important thing right now.

As for what direction to take in the future, Yunxiu doesn't plan to consider it for the time being.

Only tonight.

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

The next morning, Yunxiu saw Yueji, who had already been prepared, on the breakfast table.

The breakfast at the Kamisato family's house is quite Japanese in style, while also taking into account Yunxiu's own taste. Xiangling and Yunxiu had been playing games for most of the night and were still not awake, so this morning he also had the rare opportunity to try the chef-level food served by the company.

To be honest, compared to Xiangling's previous level, the gap is not that big. After obtaining the Dream True Knife, Shan Xiangling's strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

That knife truly lived up to its legendary status as a kitchen utensil, personally crafted by Thor. It only truly unleashed its full potential in Xiangling's hands. If it had remained in Thor's possession, its ultimate fate would most likely have been to be reforged into some other divine artifact…

"Speaking of Yunxiu, is the promotion of your 'Spirit Realm' also handled by the Society Magistrate?" Yueji asked, sipping her miso soup. "With the Sealing Spirit Cave Mirror and the Elemental Barrier, the Society Magistrate's strength far surpasses the other two major magistrate offices."

“I’m not handing it over to the magistrate, but to Ayaka Kamisato,” Yunxiu said seriously. “At least the two are not entirely equivalent.”

“Well… I don’t really understand your strange principles.” Tsukihime said with a troubled expression, “My mother wanted me to learn how to govern a country, but in the end I still didn’t understand what she was talking about.”

Girl, you should just obediently follow your aunt and learn how to fight properly...

The increase in the strength of the Kamisato siblings did not strengthen the Shakai Magistrate himself; in fact, it weakened him.

Because all the power and authority that the Kamisato siblings currently possess do not come from the Shaman Magistrate himself, but are actually a new force in Inatsume facilitated by Narukami Taisha, Umijima Island, and Kumoshu.

For example, the simplest example is that almost all the staff at the Kamisato House have recently been replaced by ninjas from the Final Fantasy series, and even some of the shrine maidens from Narukami Taisha are working there.

As for whether there were other plans besides Yunxiu's actions, such as those of Ayato and Yae no Miko, that's another matter entirely...

“The three officials are already corrupt.” Seeing Yueji’s puzzled look, Yunxiu couldn’t help but offer a hint: “Do you think that if I didn’t speak up, the family of the investigating official wouldn’t be imprisoned, and their identities wouldn’t be stripped away?”

"Even out of respect for our ancestor Hiiragi Hirotsugu, at most the bloodline of the Kansei Magistrate will be preserved to inherit and handle affairs, but the key personnel will definitely be replaced."

"The same applies to the Heavenly Commander and the Society Commander. Lord Thunder God's decision to have the demons and the Tengu clan enter the Heavenly Commander as adopted sons and daughters was preparation for this."

"So, you mean... Mother had already planned to replace these people?" Tsukihime stuffed the last piece of egg roll into her mouth before saying helplessly, "No wonder you all know about these things but don't say anything about them, and Mother Fox Palace has never mentioned anything related to them."

“But it doesn’t matter to you.” Yunxiu smiled, stood up, and patted Yueji’s head. “Teyvat is fair. As long as you are strong enough to destroy Inazuma on your own, you can choose to serve as your own servant.”

"As for governing the country," Yunxiu said with a hint of sarcasm, "Individual wisdom may differ, but the wisdom of a group is not that different. As long as we select and cultivate talent in the right way, we will definitely be able to produce relevant talents."

"Stop, stop! I can't understand any of this anymore." Yueji stood up, looking at Yunxiu's amused smile, and said with a hint of panic, "Then...shall we set off? ヘ(￣ω￣ヘ)"

After saying that, she looked carefully at Yunxiu's side, and then gently squeezed Yunxiu's storage bag, saying, "You really didn't bring anyone else with you?"

“This time I don’t even plan to bring any pack animals,” Yunxiu said seriously. “Whether it’s the information I’ve gathered from you or the information I’ve found myself, Heguan is likely in extreme danger…”

"The last time someone landed at Heguan was more than 700 years ago."

Tsukihime stroked her chin: "It is indeed very dangerous."

"Let's go."

After checking their equipment again, Yunxiu and Yueji quietly left the magistrate's office. He had already explained this to the girls last night.

At first, Xiangling and Sugar didn't really want him to go, while Shenhe and Xiaogong wanted to go. Shenli Linghua was a bit outrageous, even wanting to directly dispatch a large army.

It wasn't until Yunxiu assured her that she would be alright and that Yueji would protect her closely that the matter was finally settled.

"So, what exactly is this 'Adventure at Crane View' like?"

Tsukihime couldn't help but ask, "Did you find anything in the records of the magistrate and the castle tower?"

"If I really found it, would I not tell you?" Yunxiu said helplessly. "No one dares to venture deep into He Guan. The few people who have explored the surrounding area have all gone insane."

"The only thing we can be sure of is that there is a strange musical instrument in Heguan called the wooden reed flute."

After thinking it over carefully, Yunxiu continued to Yueji: "If the exploration is meaningless, then unleash your full power. I believe that with your strength, you can easily break through all obstacles, and at least getting Lord Thor to come and save you will definitely not be a problem."

"You underestimate me," Yueji said smugly. "My strength has increased dramatically during the time I've been training with my aunt!"

The main reason is that I knew from my past life when I played Crane View how incredibly bizarre the plot and quests were...

Both of them were flying quite fast. Although the distance from Tsuruga was not close to Narukami Island, at their current speed, it would only take them two or three days to fly from the heart of Liyue to Inazuma.

If you just need to fly to Liyue territory, a few hours will be enough.

Therefore, it only took the two of them half a day to travel from Narukami Island to Tsurukan.

Aside from Yunxiu casually using a few spells to rest on the sea and enjoy a truly fresh seafood feast, the rest of the time was spent on the sea.

Around 2 or 3 p.m., the two had already arrived above Heguan.

"It really is fog..."

Tsukihime murmured, "Even my eyes cannot see through the situation inside the Crane Pavilion."

"Let's go." Yunxiu naturally took Yueji's hand. "Let's go in like this first, otherwise we don't know what might happen next."

"Um……"

The two slowly walked into the fog.

Wisps of mist, carrying a strange aura, slowly tried to seep into the two people's bodies.
