Chapter 539

"Brother, I leave Inazuma to you."

Ayaka instructed, and Kamisato Ayato nodded with a smile.

"Go with peace of mind, nothing will happen to Inazuma."

Ayaka didn't say anything more; Lumine hugged Paimon tightly and controlled the flying sword to rush toward Liyue.

Soon, they broke through the thunder.

With Lumine's speed, traveling to Shushan from anywhere in Teyvat would not take more than ten minutes.

What's more, Inazuma was closer.

Not long after, they hurriedly swept past Liyue Harbor and arrived at Jueyun Karst.

Walking here, the violence brought by the spiritual energy recovery could already be intuitively displayed in front of everyone.

Compared to before, Jueyun Karst after Ganyu's tribulation was even more riddled with crises.

Fierce beasts at the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi could already be seen in the depths of Jueyun Karst.

There were even more fierce beasts at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

In contrast, the martial artists of Liyue hadn't changed much; after all, the time was still short.

This also destined that, for the time being, Liyue had lost the ability to adventure into the depths of Jueyun Karst again.

The main force was stationed outside Jueyun Karst, resisting the fierce beasts.

They were just fortunate that the fierce beasts at the Refining Essence into Qi and Foundation Establishment peak stages wouldn't come out for a short time.

Otherwise, they would have to invite cultivators.

Looking at the terrifying fierce beasts below, Ei felt a bit shocked; the disaster of spiritual energy recovery was much more terrifying than she had imagined.

If she couldn't be like Liyue, she alone couldn't guard Inazuma.

After a moment of silence, Ei said in a low voice:

"Will Inazuma become like this in the future?"

Lumine nodded.

"This is the trend of the world's will; Inazuma will inevitably be ravaged by fierce beasts."

"The world's will... is even more cold-blooded than the Heavenly Principles..."

Ei sighed, feeling a bit melancholy.

Lumine shrugged helplessly and said:

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs."

"To the world's will, everything in the world is insignificant; humans claim to be the protagonists of the world, but in the eyes of the world's will, humans are not special."

"Like the wild flowers and weeds on the side of the road, only evolution is what the world's will pursues."

"So... to gain power on equal footing with the world's will, only cultivation works."

"Rules can only be defined by the strong."

"What's more, spiritual recovery is not a bad thing."

Lumine pointed to the Millelith stationed not far away.

"Spiritual energy recovery brought the rise of fierce beasts, but correspondingly, it also gave humans more possibilities."

"During this period, Liyue's martial arts have developed faster."

"I believe that next, it will blossom in a hundred flowers."

"In short, this is an opportunity, and also a disaster; whether spiritual energy recovery can become an opportunity for the future or a disaster that destroys the country depends entirely on yourselves."

After saying this, Lumine didn't dawdle, opened the gate of Shushan, and took everyone to pour into it.

In Jiang Yan's cave dwelling.

Yae Miko, who was in seclusion pondering the tribulation, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the direction of the Shushan gate with a smile.

"Finally here..."

After saying this, Yae Miko stood up, walked to Ganyu's side, and said softly:

"Sister Ganyu, my old friend has come over, I'm going to entertain her."

Ganyu nodded slightly, looked at Klee who was still obediently in seclusion, and said softly:

"Go, come back for seclusion immediately after settling them, and strive to cross the tribulation before going to the Nine Nether Secret Realm."

"If you cross the tribulation in the Nine Nether Secret Realm, it will be very dangerous."

Yae Miko nodded with a smile.

"I understand, Sister Ganyu, rest assured; speaking of which, Headmaster Zhongli is also coming back today, do you want me to ask about the Sect Master's news for you?"

Ripples appeared in Ganyu's eyes, and after a moment of silence, she said in a low voice:

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"No need to be so polite! I also want to know the Sect Master's news myself."

Yae Miko replied with a smile and walked toward the outside of the cave dwelling.

"Then I'll go first."

After Yae Miko left the cave dwelling, Ganyu also felt uneasy.

Jiang Yan had been inside for three days...

Calculating by the time of the Lock-Demon Tower, it was three years.

He would stay inside for a long time; although in Ganyu's eyes, only ten days or so would pass.

But on Jiang Yan's side, it was more than ten years.

After so many years, Jiang Yan...

For a moment, Ganyu felt a bit anxious.

At the gate of Shushan.

Everyone landed gracefully on the cliff; Lumine stood with her hands on her hips, looking up at the Shushan gate, and said with emotion:

"Finally back; no matter how many times I look at it, I always feel that the gate is really majestic."

Ei looked around curiously, and Ayaka and the others were the same.

This was their first time coming to Shushan.

It had to be said that it perfectly matched the grand atmosphere of a cultivation sect in their hearts.

And...

The strange energy that permeated everywhere in the space could actually slowly improve their physique without needing to absorb it.

"Is this spiritual energy... if used well, it is indeed an opportunity."

Ei said in a low voice.

Lumine looked into the distance and suddenly smiled:

"Then I won't take you on the next road; I have to take Paimon back for seclusion immediately."

Hearing this, Ei was stunned and looked at Lumine nervously.

The latter pointed to the horizon.

"The person who is here to pick you up has already arrived."

"Who?"

Ei asked subconsciously; as soon as the words fell, a voice that hadn't been heard for a long time sounded.

"Of course it's me; don't you hope it's me? It's really disappointing, Ei."

358. Yae Miko: Long time no see, Ei, let's have a fight

Before seeing the person, one heard the voice.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking air rang out.

Yae Miko was already standing beside Lumine.

She looked at Ei with a smile; Ei hadn't seen that expression for a long time.

Only, what shocked her even more was the boiling aura on Yae Miko's body now.

Perhaps because of the need to cross the tribulation, Yae Miko's aura was fluctuating at this time.

But in Ei's perception, the current Yae Miko could defeat her with ease.

"Yae Miko... you... how did you become so strong?"

"This is the first sentence after a long separation; it's really heartbreaking, Ei."

Yae Miko looked at Ei with a smile and couldn't help but complain:
